Sword Art Online

HS - Episode 20


------------------------------------













If it requires 2-handed skill to equip a 2-handed sword, dual wielding should logically have the same requirement. We haven't learned that it's a skill in this game, and if it was it'd make sense for Kirito to have taken advantage of it. It's highly unlikely that it was a skill in in the backward Alfeim Cardinal since it was only added as a special gift in SAO.

Kirito randomly raising money was also weird since he was dissatisfied with the cash he had when he tried to buy a sword before the trip. Raising that amount from doing a little walking is also BS.

But whatever. I wonder how much time is left until Asuna gets married off.

(edit: just to add some more to that "???" list, Yui has used the term "Papa" a lot already. It makes no sense that Leafa wouldn't have enquired about who "Mama" is)

I don't think Kirito was dissatisfied with his amount of money, but instead confused. This episode made clear he had a ton of money.

Hasn't it only been like a day or 2 since he met the guy at the hospital? I think he still has a decent amount of time left.

If Yui was just an AI pixie that was programmed to call its master "Papa", why would there be a "Mama"? That doesn't really follow at all. Leafa is obviously confused by Yui, but she doesn't seem to consider it is some super advanced AI. She's too busy focusing on Kirito himself.

Someone just explain to me why this Salamander guy exploded in a huge fireball when he died, as opposed to how everyone else Kirito has killed so far just turns into a flickering flame normally.

He seemed to have some kind of reactive explosion type ability he used the first time he was getting owned.
But the real answer is probably just that it looked cool.

I was pretty impressed with the aerial battle this episode. Hopefully we get some more cool battles.
