Nobody is touching the ebola? No?
The progression of drugs the author took while making this series:
SAO: LSD - great idea and epiphany, why we all started this series
ALO: Cocaine - Take my last idea, supercharge it, and give it fucking wings!
GGO: Bath Salts - clearly some fucked up shit is going on in there
Whatever this is: just a shit ton of weed and masturbation
Episode 23 - HS

Hmm... I didn't hate this episode. I even thought at some point that this pulled it off better than many other shows would have. I reckon one reason is that this ep didn't try to achieve anything too grand and Kirito wasn't there to laughably solve everything by himself, where everybody else had failed. I can't help but feel the festering situation with Asuna's mom was solved too smoothly and quickly. On the other hand, it might have been exactly the kind of communication block that didn't need so much as long as both parties were willing to listen to the other. The VR visit felt goofy, but it did reveal the mom wasn't as unreasonable and stiff as she had appeared, and the VR certainly did offer an informal setting where they could even break the ice by joking about their weights. There was still a human behind the businesswoman guise, and she only needed to be reminded of what's important in life. Now Asuna only needs to get Kirito accepted...
Seriously, what the fuck am I watching? How can a series change so drastically from what it started with? Finally figured out the name of this arc - SOLO: Slice of Life Online.
So is Yuuki dead?
Yeah, this episode was all about the feels. It was boring, but I don't really regret watching it.
I don't know why she would be. She's just going to die the next time she gets an infection. It wasn't like she had a day left to live.Originally Posted by lelouch
The best episode we've had for quite some time.
Interesting that Yuuki warned Asuna about Kirito - that the guy lives outside of reality in a different way that she does. Is that forewarning that Kirito is going to develop real-dive technology to the point where he just lives inside it? Is this pointing to an upcoming divorce?!!
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
More like he has a vision of fusing reality and virtual reality. That's the kind of technology he's busy developing, after all. If you think about it, of late Kirito hasn't been as eager to linger in VR as Asuna, for example. I said as much before: That Kirito might not mind Asuna spending a lot of time with Yuuki since it leaves more time for Kirito to develop the technology (and he's not doing that in VR).
But why warn about that? The way you put it makes Kirito sound like any other person who is passionate about their job.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yuuki is forced to live in VR. Maybe that gives her a different perspective to its usefulness or rather the dangers it might pose. Hmm... Like you said yourself, the technology Kirito is developing would allow a person spend even more time in VR while still being able to access the RL to deal with some issues there. Yuuki might not see that as a good thing since she hasn't got a choice.
Because Kirito will create the Burst Link program, fusing together the two worlds and creating all sorts of shenanigan problems.
Agreed.
At this point, my favorite procession for this anime´s story would be a re-visit of the Aincard arc. Have Kirito and Co. trapped inside the amusphere again, and again, dying ingame means dying irl. However, raise the stakes and make it all more difficult, more gruesome, scarier. Throw them into an unkown online-world, where even Kirito has to start from zero, no stat transfers. To add on top, opposed to last time where "only" the few "lucky" buyers got to play Aincrad, have EVERY amusphere user be trapped inside, meaning hundreds of thousands of victims. Have some important deaths occurs.
And at the end, there could be a twist ending, either Kirito realizing that vr isnt safe anymore, or him deciding to stay ingame forever. Watever.
Just give me something exciting. No slice of life pseudo-drama. No more hilarious rape-stories. Give me what made me love the series in the beginning.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Since Yuuki is only all the time it's only a matter of time untill she get's a.....virus. *drumroll*
I'm seeing SAO as a transition to Accel World, be it really the case or not.

I was under the impression that the warning was pertaining to the Asuna x Kirito romantic relationship. Not "This guy will work too hard" or "This guy will create fucked up shit", but "This guy lives in a different world to us".
Yuuki was telling Asuna that Kirito may not be someone she can accept or relate to in the long run.
The statement talks about what/how Kirito is, than about what he is about to develop.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Right... And that girl who has spent all of her teenage years in VR is the foremost author on men, relationships, and romance? If she indeed was referring to the relationship, then it was nothing but kind of adorable bullshit and Asuna humoured her in a suitably benign manner. Thus I'd rather think she was referring to the fact Kirito's interests and choices in life at large might not be too healthy in her educated opinion, as she has seen too much of VR already.
Let's also not forget Yuuki doesn't know Kirito at all. In my opinion he's not even addicted to VR, which is something Yuuki might be judging incorrectly. I doubt Asuna told her anything about the depth of their bond, either, such as how they saved each others' lives. Such things no doubt make a relationship more solid than meeting and dating at random under normal circumstances. They know what really matters.
It simply meant that Kirito is not as attached to reality as normal people are.
Peace.
Exactly, Yuuki does not know Kirito all that well. What she's concerned about Asuna's well being. In this case, her relationship and choice of partners. Kirito's health per se doesn't bother her, but if that impacts on Asuna's happiness should she choose this guy, Yuuki feels she should warn.
It's not that Kirito is busy developing this tech or that his tech causes problems for other people - it's that he's going to be absorbed in it when it comes to fruition. That's the way I'm reading it.
I agree that this is about Kirito's interests and choices, but I don't agree that the warning is about the current Kirito, but about where he'll end up. Again, Yuuki's point is that she has reservations about Asuna's future happiness with him.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think you guys are overthinking it.
It's obvious that Yuuki and Kirito were both able to discern things about each other during their fight. Yuuki doesn't know Kirito any more than he knows her, yet he was still able to gain insight into her through that brief interaction. She obviously did the same.
More likely, he'll invent the technology that simply allows her to upload her consciousness to the internet.
I'd second that. He already roughly had an idea of how the process worked from Kayaba, so it wouldn't be beyond reason for him to "perfect" the method. Maybe by using his original NerveGear or something.
In any case, was I the only one who kinda effed up and misread the Yuuki's and thought just maybe Asuna and Yuuki were related? I started getting the feeling I was wrong and then this last episode confirmed it haha.
That's understandable because she kept calling her "sis". But it's just because she reminded her of her actual dead sister, not because they were actually related.
