[00:14] Z
    The idea that agility is the only stat
    that matters is only an illusion.
[00:20] Z
    Sure, agility is an important stat.
[00:23] Z
    Firing speed and dodging...
[00:25] Z
    If you were good at those two things,
    you were good.
[00:28] Z
    Until now, anyway.
[00:30] Z
    But that's all in the past now.
[00:33] ---
    And to those of you who spent
[00:35] ---
    the past eight months never
    leaving the house, raising that stat...
[00:38] ---
    Sucks to be you.
[00:43] MC
    That's what we'd expect to hear
SIGN    Zexceed
SIGN    Dark Wind
SIGN    Presenter
[00:46] ---
    from the top player of the most hardcore
    VRMMO, Gun Gale Online.
[00:50] MC
    Pretty extreme!
[00:52] Z
    Well, I may only get one chance in
    my life to be on MMO Stream...
[00:56] MC
    Oh, don't say that.
[00:58] MC
    Aren't you aiming for the next Bullet of Bullets?
[01:00] Z
    Of course.
[01:02] Z
    If I'm going to enter,
[01:03] Z
    I'll play to win!
[01:07] Guy
    But you know, Zexceed-san...
[01:09] Guy
    BoB is a solo tournament, with random encounters.
[01:12] Guy
    Doing the same doesn't guarantee
     you'll get the same result.
[01:15] Guy
    I'm not sure you should be chalking
    your victory up to your status type.
[01:19] Z
    No, the results were indicative
    of a broader trend within GGO.
[01:24] Z
    You're an agility-based character, Dark Wind-san,
[01:26] ---
    so I can understand why you'd want to deny it.
[01:30] Z
    It's true that, until now, the strongest strategy
[01:33] ---
    has been to raise your AGI, and fire a powerful
    physical weapon as fast as possible.
[01:37] Z
    But the balance of a MMO
     changes all the time.
[01:41] Z
    In particular, games with levels
    don't let you re-spec your stats.
[01:46] Z
    You need to constantly predict the future
     when you spend your points,
[01:48] Z
    because the best style for your level zone
     won't always stay the same.
[01:53] Z
    Minimum strength requirements
    and accuracy bonuses
[01:56] ---
    keep increasing for new equipment introduced...
[02:01] Guy
    Zexceed always used to talk about how
    awesome agility-based characters were.
[02:06] Guy
    I can't believe I listened to him.
[02:13] Guy
    Zexceed... False victor...
[02:17] Guy
    You will now be judged by true power!
[02:36] Z
    So you see...
[02:37] ---
    In the end, what's really important
    is the player's own ability—
[02:50] MC
    Oh, my...
[02:52] MC
    Looks like we lost the connection.
[02:54] MC
    It should be back in a second,
[02:56] MC
    so don't touch that dial!
[03:03] Guy
    This is true power!
[03:05] Guy
    True strength.
[03:06] Guy
    Fools... Remember this name, and fear!
[03:11] Guy
    The name this gun and I share! Death Gun!

    Be sure to be home
     by dinner.

[03:30] [Messenger] A
    I'll be home by 6.
[03:33] A
    December, 2025...
[03:37] A
    Soon, it'll be a year.
[03:49] A
    What's the difference between
     the real world and the virtual one?
[03:54] K
    The amount of information. That's all.
[03:59] A
    You surprised me...
[04:01] K
    I got here right on time.
[04:06] A
    I guess I was running on autopilot.
[04:08] A
    Anyway... Hello, Kirito-kun.
[04:12] K
    That's dangerous.
[04:14] K
    Hey, Asuna.
[04:17] A
    Wh-What?
[04:18] K
    It's just...
[04:19] K
    Those clothes look good on you.
[04:22] K
    They bring back a lot of memories...
[04:25] A
    Yeah, but I don't have a rapier.
[04:29] A
    And I see you're wearing a lot of black today.
[04:32] K
    Well...
[04:33] K
    Sugu washed all my clothes this morning.
[04:35] K
    This was all I had.
[04:37] A
    That's why you shouldn't let
    your laundry pile up!
[04:41] A
    So we both happen to be wearing
    our old colors today...
[04:44] A
    What are the odds of that?
[04:46] K
    Well, if we meet all the time over a year—
[04:49] A
    Just say, "Yeah, you're right!"
[04:51] A
    Come on. Let's go.
[04:57] K
    Hey, don't you think the palace
    is kind of interesting?
[05:01] A
    Interesting?
[05:02] A
    How?
[05:04] K
    It's 2 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide.
[05:08] K
    It covers 20% of Chiyoda Ward.
[05:10] K
    No tunnels or subways run under it.
[05:13] K
    Planes aren't allowed to fly overhead, either.
[05:14] K
    It's a giant off-limits zone
    in the middle of Tokyo.
[05:21] K
    And it's cut off, not only physically,
    but information-wise, as well.
[05:25] K
    See that security camera?
[05:28] K
    This place has its own unique closed network,
[05:32] K
    and you can't access it from outside at all.
[05:35] A
    That's a strange-looking camera.
[05:37] K
    Yeah.
[05:38] ---
    This place is in the middle of Tokyo,
    but it's also its own, isolated world.
[05:43] K
    Maybe that's taking it a bit too far.
[05:47] A
    Maybe.
[05:56] K
    This is where Edo Castle's
    inner citadel used to be.
[05:58] A
    Let's go.
SIGN    Former Cannon Emplacement
[06:17] A
    Hey, remember the survey about
    what we'll do after graduation?
[06:21] A
    What are you planning to do with your future?
[06:25] K
    I think I'm going to go
     from a player to a creator.
[06:29] A
    A creator?
[06:31] A
    What kind of game will you make?
[06:32] K
    Not a game... A man-machine interface to replace
[06:35] ---
    our current full-dive technology.
[06:37] K
    I've been frequenting a lot
    of tech forums, to study.
[06:40] K
    But they're all in English, so it's pretty rough.
[06:46] A
    I want to stay with you forever, Kirito-kun.
[06:50] A
    It'd be great if Yui-chan could
    be with us here, too...
[06:54] K
    That'll be possible,
[06:56] K
    once we can use an augmented reality
    environment whenever we want.
[07:00] K
    Right now, there's too much difference
    in the amount of information.
[07:03] A
    You were saying that earlier, weren't you?
[07:06] A
    The real and virtual worlds are
    only different in the amount of information...
[07:10] A
    What does that mean?
[07:12] K
    Well...
[07:13] K
    You know how there's a difference
    between holding hands like this
[07:16] ---
    in the real world and in ALO?
[07:20] A
    You're right.
[07:22] A
    I can feel a lot more from your real hand.
[07:25] A
    Oh!
[07:26] A
    That's what you mean by more information.
[07:28] K
    Yeah.
[07:29] K
    But what if, someday, we could replicate
    the sensations your skin feels?
[07:33] K
    Could you tell
[07:35] ---
    the difference between a real hand and
    an avatar's hand just by touch?
[07:38] A
    I could.
[07:39] A
    If it were your hand.
[07:42] A
    It isn't only touch.
[07:44] ---
    Don't sound and taste convey a lot
    more information in reality, too?
[07:49] A
    So even if the Amuspheres had AR capability...
[07:54] K
    Yeah.
[07:54] K
    You'd know whether something was real or not
    the minute you saw or touched it.
[07:59] K
    But if there's a huge technology
    breakthrough someday,
[08:03] K
    and we're able to receive
[08:04] ---
    a large amount of sensory
    information in the real world...
[08:08] A
    We could cross the boundary between worlds
    and be with Yui-chan all the time.
[08:13] A
    That day is coming, right?
[08:15] K
    Yeah.
[08:16] A
    Make something like that for us, okay?
SIGN    About 4 hours earlier
[08:39] Guy
    Welcome.
[08:42] Ki
    Hey, Kirito-kun!
[08:44] Ki
    Over here!
[08:53] Ki
    I'll pay, so order whatever you want.
[08:57] A
    I'll do that, then. Thank you very much.
[08:59] Ki
    Oh, don't be so formal...
[09:02] Ki
    Just talk to me like you would in ALO.
[09:05] K
    S-Sure... I'll have...
[09:15] K
    Um...
[09:16] K
    I'll have the parfait au chocolat,
    the framboise mille-feuille,
[09:20] K
    and a hazelnut latte.
[09:23] Ki
    Sorry to bring you all the way here, Kirito-kun.
[09:26] K
    If you're really sorry, don't bring
    me all the way to Ginza...
[09:29] K
    And don't call me that in front of others!
[09:34] Ki
    You're so cold...
[09:35] Ki
    After you woke up in the hospital a year ago,
     I was the first person to visit you.
[09:42] K
    He's right.
[09:45] K
    He was my first visitor after I woke up.
[09:47] K
    The leader of the response team.
[09:50] K
    Kikuoka Seijirou, of the Ministry of Internal
    Affairs Telecommunications Bureau,
[09:53] ---
    Advanced Communications Networks
    Promotion Division Section 2,
[09:56] K
    AKA the Virtual Division.
[10:03] K
    Well, what else do you need?
[10:05] K
    I told you pretty much everything
    there was to know about SAO...
[10:09] Ki
    I want to discuss something else today.
[10:14] Ki
    Look at this.
[10:17] K
    Who's this?
[10:18] Ki
    Hmm, last month, on November 14th...
[10:23] Ki
    The landlord of a Nakano, Tokyo apartment
    building smelled something while cleaning.
[10:28] Ki
    She got worried and opened
    the electronic lock on the door,
[10:33] Ki
    and discovered the body of this man,
    Shigemura Tamotsu, age 26.
[10:37] Ki
    He'd been dead five and a half days.
[10:38] Ki
    His room was messy but hadn't been ransacked.
    The body was on the bed.
[10:43] Ki
    And on its head...
[10:45] K
    An Amusphere?
[10:47] Ki
    Exactly.
[10:48] Ki
    Given the possibility of foul play,
    an autopsy was held.
[10:52] Ki
    The cause of death was acute heart failure.
[10:54] K
    Heart failure? His heart stopped?
[10:58] K
    Why?
[11:00] Ki
    We don't know.
[11:03] Guy
    Here you are.
[11:07] Ki
    Given the time of death,
[11:10] Ki
    and the low probability of a crime,
     a thorough autopsy was not conducted.
[11:15] Ki
    But he'd been logged in for two full days
    without eating anything.
[11:20] K
    That isn't so unusual.
[11:24] K
    What's so special about this case?
[11:25] Ki
    The game he had installed was Gun Gale Online.
[11:29] Ki
    Do you know it?
[11:30] K
    Sure... It's the only game in
    Japan with pro players.
[11:35] Ki
    He had won a tournament in
    Gun Gale Online, GGO for short,
[11:39] Ki
    that was held in October,
    to determine the strongest player.
[11:43] Ki
    His character name was Zexceed.
[11:45] K
    Then he was playing GGO when he died?
[11:48] Ki
    No, he was appearing on a program called
     MMO Stream, as his Zexceed avatar.
[11:54] Ki
    We know the time from the logs.
[11:57] Ki
    And this hasn't been confirmed,
[12:00] Ki
    but another user wrote on their blog
     that something strange happened
[12:04] Ki
    in GGO at the same time as his heart attack.
[12:07] K
    Strange?
[12:08] Ki
    At the exact same time this was happening,
[12:11] Ki
    a player was acting strangely in a bar.
[12:14] Ki
    He screamed something about "judgment"
    at the TV Zexceed was appearing on,
[12:20] Ki
    and fired his gun.
[12:22] Ki
    One of the players watching this
[12:24] ---
    happened to have an audio log running,
    and uploaded the file to a video site.
[12:29] Ki
    The file contains a counter
    in Japan Standard Time.
[12:33] Ki
    The shot was fired at the TV
[12:35] ---
    at almost the same time Shigemura
    disappeared from the program.
[12:40] K
    That's just a coincidence.
[12:42] Ki
    There was another one.
[12:44] K
    What?!
[12:45] Ki
    This one happened on November 28th.
[12:48] Ki
    Somewhere in Saitama City, Saitama.
[12:50] Ki
    Another body found in a room,
    in a two-story apartment.
[12:54] Ki
    A newspaper salesman looked inside
[12:56] ---
    and saw a man, lying on a futon,
    wearing an Amusphere...
[12:59] Ki
    Another horrible smell.
[13:03] Ki
    Well, skipping the particulars of the corpse...
[13:06] Ki
    Another acute heart failure.
[13:09] Ki
    He was also a highly skilled GGO player.
[13:12] Ki
    His character name was...
[13:13] Ki
    Lightly Salted Tarako?
    He was playing the game at the time.
[13:17] Ki
    He was at a meeting with his squadron...
[13:21] ---
    I guess that's what they call a guild...
[13:23] ---
    in a Glocken City plaza...
[13:26] Ki
    When he was shot by another player.
[13:30] K
    Was it the same guy as Zexceed?
[13:33] Ki
    Probably.
[13:34] Ki
    He said the same things about
    power and judgment,
[13:37] ---
    and used the same character name.
[13:40] K
    What was it?
[13:42] Ki
    Death Gun.
[13:44] K
    Death Gun?
[13:53] K
    You're sure it was heart failure, right?
[13:56] Ki
    What do you mean?
[13:58] K
    There wasn't any damage to their brains?
[14:02] Ki
    I wondered that, as well.
[14:04] Ki
    I spoke to the coroner who
    handled the autopsies,
[14:07] Ki
    and they said there was nothing
    wrong with their brains.
[14:10] Ki
    And what's more,
[14:11] Ki
    the NerveGear used microwaves
    powerful enough to burn out
[14:15] ---
    the signaling devices
     and destroy part of the brain.
[14:19] Ki
    But the Amusphere is designed for that kind
    of power emission to be impossible.
[14:23] Ki
    The developers were insistent on that.
[14:25] K
    You've done a lot of homework, Kikuoka-san...
[14:28] K
    All this for something that seems like nothing
    more than coincidence and rumor?
[14:32] Ki
    Well, I'm ninety percent sure it's coincidence,
    or someone's making it up.
[14:36] Ki
    So we're speaking hypothetically here.
[14:39] Ki
    Do you think it's possible
[14:41] ---
    to stop a player's heart with a bullet fired
    from within a video game?
[15:05] K
    I don't think so, but assuming this Death Gun
[15:10] ---
    could send some kind of signal to Zexceed's
     and Lightly Salted Tarako's Amuspheres...
[15:16] K
    Some sensation of touch that
    would stop their hearts...
[15:19] K
    Or taste, or smell, or sight, or sound...
[15:22] K
    Some kind of sensory information...
[15:27] K
    Hey, wait.
[15:29] K
    You've already looked into all this, haven't you?
[15:32] K
    If you smarty pants have thought this through,
[15:34] K
    there shouldn't be much left for me to do.
[15:37] Ki
    No, no...
[15:38] Ki
    I'd never do that to you, Kirito-kun.
[15:41] Ki
    I enjoy talking to you.
[15:43] K
    I'm done.
[15:45] ---
    Here's my conclusion.
[15:46] ---
    Stopping a player's heart from
    within a game is impossible!
[15:50] ---
    The gunshots and heart failures are unrelated—
[15:52] Ku
    W-Wait!
[15:53] Ku
    You can order another slice of cake.
[15:55] Ku
    Just stay for a while!
[15:58] Ku
    Well, I'm relieved to hear you say that aloud...
[16:03] Ku
    I was thinking the same thing.
[16:06] Ku
    These two deaths
[16:07] ---
    weren't caused by gunshots
    from within the game.
[16:10] Ku
    So I'd like to ask you...
[16:13] Ku
    Will you log into Gun Gale Online
[16:15] ---
    and make contact with this Death Gun?
[16:19] K
    Why not just say it, Kikuoka-san?
[16:21] K
    "Go get shot."
[16:23] Ki
    Well...
[16:24] K
    No way in hell!
[16:25] K
    What if something happened to me?!
[16:28] Ki
    We both just agreed that was impossible!
[16:31] Ki
    And it looks like Mr. Death Gun has
    pretty strict criteria for his targets.
[16:37] K
    Criteria?
[16:39] Ki
    Yes.
[16:41] Ki
    Zexceed and Lightly Salted Tarako
    were both renowned top-level players.
[16:46] Ki
    In other words, he won't shoot you
    unless you're good. Probably.
[16:49] Ki
    Kayaba-sensei recognized you
    as the strongest player—
[16:52] K
    That's impossible...
[16:53] K
    GGO isn't that easy a game!
[16:55] K
    It's filled with pros.
[16:57] Ki
    That's it.
[16:58] Ki
    What does it mean to be a pro?
[17:01] K
    Just what it sounds like.
[17:02] K
    Gun Gale Online is the only virtual MMO
[17:06] ---
    that lets you exchange
     game coins for real money.
[17:10] K
    Basically, you can take the
    money you earn in-game
[17:13] ---
    and exchange it for real cash.
SIGN    Description Amount Deposit 1 GGO 132,000 yen Deposit 1 GGO 65,000 yen Deposit 1 GGO 157,000 yen
[17:16] K
    The pros are the ones who can earn
    money in GGO every single month.
[17:21] K
    A top player can make anywhere
    from 200,000 to 300,000 yen a month.
[17:26] K
    For that reason, the high-level GGO players
[17:29] ---
    spend far more time and passion
     on their game than other MMO players.
[17:35] K
    I can't just log in and expect to match them.
[17:38] K
    Find someone else.
[17:39] Ki
    Wait, wait...
[17:41] Ki
    I don't have anyone else!
[17:43] Ki
    If you don't think you can fight the pros,
[17:45] Ki
    I'll pay you to cooperate with the investigation.
[17:48] Ki
    This much.
[17:51] K
    Why is this such a big deal to you?
[17:54] K
    It's just another Internet horror story.
[17:57] Ki
    You see, my bosses are worried about this.
[18:01] Ki
    The effects of full-dive technology
    on the human body
[18:05] ---
    are the single biggest focus
     of research right now.
[18:08] Ki
    I want to know what's really going on
[18:11] ---
    before they start trying to use this
    to restrict the technology.
[18:14] Ki
    I want to be sure.
[18:16] Ki
    How's that for a reason?
[18:18] K
    Wouldn't it be faster to ask the administrators?
[18:21] K
    Zaskar, the company that
    develops and operates GGO,
[18:25] K
    has its servers in America.
[18:27] K
    The real company's address, phone number,
[18:30] ---
    and e-mail are all confidential.
[18:32] K
    Since The Seed went public,
[18:34] ---
    all kinds of shady virtual worlds have popped up.
[18:39] K
    Which means the only way to get at the truth
[18:43] ---
    is to make contact with them within the game.
[18:46] K
    Of course, we'll take every safety precaution.
[18:49] K
    And I won't tell you to get shot.
[18:51] K
    Just tell me your impressions,
    and give me your judgment.
[18:54] K
    Will you go?
[18:59] K
    Four thousand people died in Aincrad.
[19:04] K
    After a year, I've almost put that behind me.
[19:09] K
    But now, more people are being
    murdered in virtual reality,
[19:13] K
    and I'm being called back.
[19:16] K
    It's like someone is telling me not to forget.
SIGN    Former Cannon Emplacement
[19:25] A
    I think I understand
[19:27] ---
    why you brought me here.
[19:30] K
    Y-Yeah?
[19:33] A
    If the world is composed of an axis called
    time and a plane called space,
[19:38] A
    then Tokyo's center—in other words,
    our reality—is this place.
[19:44] A
    The center of the endlessly expanding
    virtual worlds, thanks to The Seed,
[19:49] ---
    is the castle that's gone, right?
[19:52] A
    That's why this twilight brings
    back so many memories.
[19:57] K
    I see...
[19:58] K
    You're right.
[20:00] K
    There's something your words just
    now helped me to understand.
[20:03] A
    Huh? What?
[20:05] K
    The shape of Aincrad.
[20:07] K
    It's possible that its shape represented
    an axis of time and a plane of space.
[20:13] A
    But that would mean that the world
    the commander tried to create
[20:17] ---
    was intended to taper off to a point,
     and someday disappear.
[20:22] A
    And a certain person made it explode midway.
[20:26] A
    Without waiting to see the end.
[20:28] K
    I'm s-sorry, Miss Second-in-Command...
[20:37] K
    Asuna, listen...
[20:42] K
    Nothing, it's getting cold.
[20:44] K
    Let's get going.
[20:46] A
    Yeah, let's come back with Liz,
    Leafa-chan, and the others.
[20:50] A
    I'm sure eating lunch on that lawn would be fun!
[20:52] K
    Yeah, in the spring.
[21:10] Gu
    I'm in position.

    Roger.
[21:13] S
    The enemy hasn't changed course or speed.
[21:16] S
    They're 400 meters from you, 1,500 from me.
[21:19] Gu
    That's pretty far.
[21:21] Gu
    Can you do it?
[21:22] S
    I'll be fine.
[21:23] Gu
    Okay, open fire.
[21:25] Gu
    I'm counting on you, Sinon.
[21:27] S
    Roger.
[21:32] S
    This pressure, this unease...
[21:36] ---
    This terror...
[21:38] S
    1,500 meters?

    That's like tossing a wad of paper

    Yes...

    Yes... Compared to that time...

[03:52] Gu
    Hey, Dyne...
[03:53] Gu
    Are they really coming?
[03:55] Gu
    Are you sure your information is good?
[03:58] D
    I checked their route myself.
[04:01] D
    I'm sure of it.
[04:05] D
    The monster spawns are probably good,
    so they're clearing them out.
[04:09] D
    That means more money for you.
[04:11] D
    No complaining.
[04:12] Gu
    But aren't these guys
    the same ones we hit last week?
[04:18] Gu
    Isn't it possible they got scared
    and changed their route?
[04:21] D
    Monster-hunting squadrons
[04:25] D
    don't care if they get attacked
    as long as they earn enough hunting.
[04:28] D
    They're wonderful prey for player-hunting
    squadrons like ours.
[04:32] D
    They're like monsters, moving by algorithm.
[04:35] D
    They have no pride.
[04:37] Gu
    That's right.
[04:38] D
    They're all equipped with energy
    weapons for hunting monsters.
[04:43] D
    As long as we have defense fields ready,
    they're easy prey.
[04:46] Gu
    But couldn't they have some kind
    of contingency plan for us?
[04:51] D
    They can't easily get that many
    physical guns, to attack humans.
[04:56] D
    At best, they'll have one support weapon.
[05:00] D
    And...
[05:01] D
    The best sniper in GGO
     will take care of that for us.
[05:12] D
    The plan's perfect.
[05:14] D
    Right, Sinon?
[05:16] S
    Yeah.
[05:19] Gu
    Well, that's probably true.
[05:21] Gu
    With Sinon's long-range attack,
     we're in great shape.
[05:25] D
    That's right.
[05:27] Gu
    Well... if, and I do mean if,
    Sinocchi were to miss,
[05:33] Gu
    I'll buy us the sixty seconds
     she'll need to move
[05:39] ---
    and reset the enemy ID information.
[05:44] D
    Listen to you...
[05:45] Gu
    So anyway, Sinocchi...
[05:48] Gu
    You free after this?
[05:50] Gu
    I found a gun shop with a great selection,
[05:53] Gu
    and we could go hang out afterward...
[06:01] Si
    I'm sorry, Ginrou-san.
[06:03] Si
    After this, I have something
    to do in the real world.
[06:06] Gu
    I see...
[06:08] Gu
    In the real world, you're a student, aren't you?
[06:11] Gu
    Got a report to write or something?
[06:13] Si
    Something like that.
[06:15] Gu
    Ginrou-san, you're bothering Sinon-san.
[06:18] Gu
    Don't talk about the real world here.
[06:21] Gu
    That's right.
[06:22] Gu
    Even if you're a lonely solo player,
    both here and there.
[06:25] Gu
    What?! You guys haven't had
    a date in years, either.
[06:32] D
    Cut it out, you guys—
[06:34] Gu
    They're here.
[06:39] D
    Then it's finally time...
[06:45] D
    Yeah, it's them.
[06:47] D
    One, two, three, four, five... Seven?
[06:51] D
    There's one more than last week.
[07:02] D
    Four in the front row with energy blasters.
[07:06] D
    One with a high-caliber laser rifle.
[07:08] D
    And...
[07:10] D
    One with a physical gun, a Minimi.
[07:14] D
    That's the target, then.
[07:19] D
    The last one's wearing a cloak,
     so I can't see what he has.
[07:23] Gu
    A cloak?
[07:25] D
    Yeah.
[07:26] Gu
    Think it could be that guy Death Gun
    everyone's talking about?
[07:30] D
    No way.
[07:31] D
    No way someone like that exists.
[07:34] D
    He's probably a transporter
     who put all his points into strength.
[07:38] D
    He's carrying ammo, energy packs,
    or the items they've earned.
[07:42] D
    You can ignore him during the battle.
[07:49] Si
    I don't like the look of that guy.
[07:52] Si
    I want to attack the one in the cloak first.
[07:55] D
    Why?
[07:56] D
    He isn't carrying any real weaponry.
[07:58] Si
    I don't have a solid reason...
[07:59] Si
    I just don't like the fact that he's an unknown.
[08:02] D
    But that Minimi's a problem, too.
[08:06] D
    If we get stuck dealing with it,
    and the blasters get close, it'll be trouble.
[08:10] Si
    All right.
[08:11] Si
    I'll target the Minimi first.
[08:14] Si
    If I can, I'll hit the caped one
    with my next round.
[08:17] Gu
    Hey, we're running out of time to chat...
[08:20] Gu
    They're 2,500 meters away.
[08:22] D
    Okay, we'll follow the original plan,
[08:24] D
    and advance to the building's shadow
    up ahead, to await the enemy.
[08:27] D
    Sinon, if the situation changes, let us know.
[08:30] D
    I'll tell you when to fire.
[08:32] Si
    Roger.
[08:33] D
    Okay, let's go!
[09:15] D
    We're in position.

    Yes...
[09:51] Si
    Yes... Compared to that time...
[10:07] Si

[10:20] Si
    I won't be able to change position...
[10:24] Si
    Objective one, clear.
[10:26] Si
    Objective two, fail.
[10:28] D
    Roger.
[10:29] D
    Stand by there.
[10:31] D
    Go! Go! Go!
[10:57] Si
    That's...
[10:58] Si
    A Minigun!
[11:01] Si
    They weren't late because their hunt ran long.
[11:05] Si
    It was the movement penalty
    due to the Minigun's weight.
[11:42] Gu
    I knew it. These guys are gonna be easy.
[12:14] Gu
    That look on his face...
[12:16] Gu
    Does that mean he's strong enough
    to smile on the battlefield?
[12:22] Gu
    That guy...
[12:26] Gu
    I'm going to kill him!
[12:39] D
    It's coming!
[12:42] D
    Damn it...
[12:43] D
    Don't let him get any closer!
[12:45] Gu
    G-Got it!
[12:58] D
    There's nowhere left to hide...
[13:01] D
    Damn it!
[13:06] D
    Sinon?
[13:27] Gu
    Sinon!
[13:28] Gu
    Sinon!
[13:33] D
    They...
[13:36] D
    They hired a bodyguard.
[13:39] Si
    A bodyguard?
[13:41] D
    That guy with the Minigun.
[13:43] D
    He's a macho guy named Behemoth.
[13:46] Si
    If we keep hiding, they'll wipe us all out.
[13:49] Si
    He should be running low on Minigun ammo.
[13:53] Si
    If we all attack at once,
    he may hesitate to go all-out.
[13:57] Si
    Jin and Miso will approach from the left.
[13:59] Si
    Dyne and I will go around from the right.
[14:02] Si
    Storm, you stay here and back us up.
[14:03] D
    It's impossible.
[14:05] D
    There's still three guys
    with blasters out there.
[14:08] D
    If we head in, our defensive fields won't...
[14:11] Si
    Blasters can't fire as fast as physical weapons.
[14:14] Si
    We can dodge half of them.
[14:15] D
    It's impossible!
[14:16] D
    If we run in, the Minigun will rip us apart.
[14:23] D
    It's too bad, but let's give up.
[14:24] D
    I'd rather log out than give them a victory...
[14:29] Si
    Logging out doesn't mean you'll escape.
[14:33] D
    What?
[14:34] D
    It's just a game... Don't take it so seriously!
[14:36] D
    If we run in, we'll just die—
[14:38] Si
    You're pathetic!
[14:41] Si
    In the game, at least be brave enough
    to run toward the guns and die!
[14:53] Si
    Just three seconds...
[14:54] Si
    Keep the Minigun occupied for three seconds,
     and I'll take him down.
[14:58] Gu
    O-Okay.
[14:59] Si
    All right...
[15:00] Si
    We'll split up and attack from both sides.
[15:02] All
    Right.
[15:19] All
    Go!
[15:33] All
    Dyne, back me up!
[16:02] D
    How do you like that, huh?
[16:31] D
    Damn it all!
[16:42] ---
    Got him.
[16:55] Si
    Nice guts.
[16:57] Si
    But...
[16:59] Si
    I need to move into Behemoth's
    blind spot somehow...
[17:05] Si
    He won't be able to pinpoint
    my location just yet.
[17:14] Si
    He's strong enough to smile on the battlefield.
[17:21] Si
    I'll kill him.
[17:22] Si
    And I, too...
[18:21] Si
    The end.

[04:22] Ky
    I heard about the other day.
[04:24] Ky
    You were a big hero.
[04:26] S
    The mission itself was a failure.
[04:29] S
    In our squadron, we lost four out of six.
[04:33] S
    If we set an ambush and that was the result,
    we can't really claim victory...
[04:38] Ky
    But still, it's amazing...
[04:39] Ky
    They say that Behemoth guy,
    the one with the Minigun,
[04:42] ---
    had never died in a group fight!
[04:46] S
    He was that famous?
[04:49] S
    I'd never seen him in the BoB
    rankings, so I didn't know.
[04:53] Ky
    Of course not...
[04:54] Ky
    Miniguns are really powerful,
[04:57] ---
    but five hundred rounds puts you over
    the weight limit, so you can't run.
[05:00] Ky
    BoB's a solo fight. Someone would hit him
    from range, and that would be it.
[05:07] Ky
    But if he has enough support
    in a group fight, he's invincible.
[05:12] Ky
    That weapon's cheating.
[05:15] S
    They say my Hecate II is a cheat weapon, too.
[05:20] S
    As the one actually using it,
    it does have its problems.

    I'm the one who invited you to GGO,

    That isn't true!

    No, it's no good.

[07:18] S
    If you spend that much time diving,
    you must have a lot of money?
[07:22] Ky
    That's not true.
[07:24] Ky
    Agility builds can't solo anymore.
[07:28] S
    But you only need to make enough
    for the connection fees, right?
[07:33] S
    Oh, sorry...
[07:35] S
    I've got to go.
[07:37] Ky
    Oh, right.
[07:39] Ky
    You make your own meals, don't you?
[07:42] Ky
    Sometime, I'd like you to cook for me again.
[07:47] S
    Sure.
[07:48] S
    Sometime.
[07:50] S
    Once I'm a little better.
[07:53] S
    Thanks for the tea.
[07:55] S
    And, seriously, thanks for helping me.
[07:59] S
    You were really cool.
[08:01] Ky
    I wish I could always protect you.
[08:05] Ky
    Um, listen...
[08:07] Ky
    Should I walk you home from school?
[08:12] S
    I'm all right.
[08:13] S
    I need to become strong.
[08:37] S
    I'm home.
[09:03] S
    Maybe now.
[09:50] S
    I don't remember my father's face.
[09:53] S
    I heard he died in a car accident
    when I was two.
[09:59] S
    After the accident, my mom and I left Tokyo
[10:03] S
    to live with her parents.
[10:05] S
    And we had a peaceful life there.
[10:20] S
    But that peace was suddenly broken.
[10:37] Gu
    Put the money in the bag!
[10:39] Gu
    Don't push the alarm!
[10:42] S
    Mom...
[10:43] Gu
    Hurry!
[10:44] Gu
    Put the money in the bag.
    Everything you've got!
[10:46] Gu
    Do it now!
[10:48] Gu
    Okay!
[11:03] Gu
    I told you not to push the alarm!
[11:06] Gu
    Hey, you! Come here, and fill the bag!
[11:12] Gu
    Hurry, or I'll shoot another person!
[11:14] Gu
    I'll shoot!
[11:28] Gu
    You little...
[11:29] Gu
    Give that back. Give that back!
[11:32] Gu
    You stupid kid!
[13:39] Gu
    I look terrible...
[13:50] Gu
    Save me...
[13:53] ---
    Someone, save me.
[14:07] A
    K-Kirito-kun, you're quitting ALO?
[14:11] K
    N-No, no...
[14:13] K
    It's just for a few days.
[14:14] K
    I'll reconvert soon.
[14:16] A
    Really?
[14:19] K
    A-Actually, there's a reason.
[14:22] K
    I have to go check things out
    in another VMMORPG.
[14:26] A
    Check things out?
[14:28] A
    You've done that a number of times
    by making new accounts...
[14:32] A
    Converting resets your items, right?
[14:35] A
    Why do you have to do all that?
[14:38] K
    Well, um...
[14:40] K
    Remember that guy from Internal Affairs?
SIGN    From: Kikuoka Seijirou

    Everything's ready for you

    Someone should be

[14:49] A

[15:06] A
    This place alone is our home.
[15:20] K
    Of course I'll return to ALO soon.
[15:24] K
    I'm just doing research on what's going on
[15:26] ---
    in a game called Gun Gale Online.
[15:31] K
    I'm ninety-nine percent sure that
    Death Gun is a mere rumor.
[15:36] K
    Killing people in the real world
    from a virtual one?
[15:40] K
    I can't believe that's possible.
[15:43] DEATH GUN
    This is true power.
[15:45] DEATH GUN
    True strength.
[15:47] DEATH GUN
    Fools... Remember this name, and fear!
[15:51] DEATH GUN
    The name this gun and I share!
[15:54] ---
    Death Gun!
[15:58] K
    But the remaining one-percent
    chance has brought me here.
[16:12] K
    Excuse me.
[16:13] Gi
    Hey!
[16:14] Gi
    Kirigaya-kun, welcome back.
[16:19] K
    H-Hello...
[16:20] K
    It's been a long time, Aki-san.
[16:27] Gi
    You've built up some muscle,
[16:29] Gi
    but not enough!
[16:31] Gi
    Are you eating enough?
[16:32] K
    Y-Yes! Yes!
[16:34] K
    And actually, what are you doing here?
[16:36] K
    I heard the story from the
    bureaucrat in glasses.
[16:40] K
    You're investigating a virtual network
    for the government?
[16:45] K
    You haven't even been back a full year...
[16:48] K
    That's rough!
[16:49] K
    So since I was in charge of your rehab,
[16:53] K
    they said they wanted me to monitor you.
[16:56] K
    I was taken off my shift today.
[16:59] K
    It looks like they already
    spoke to the head nurse.
[17:01] K
    I guess the government has a lot of pull!
[17:04] K
    Anyway, I'll be working with you
    for a while again, Kirigaya-kun.
[17:09] K
    R-Right.
[17:11] K
    Then, the bureaucrat in glasses isn't here?
[17:15] K
    No, I have a message, though.
[17:25] K
    "E-mail your reports to the usual address.
[17:28] K
    After the mission's complete,
[17:30] K
    we'll pay compensation as well as expenses,
    so make sure to submit them.
[17:34] PS
    P.S., Just because you're alone
    in a private room with a pretty young nurse,
[17:38] ---
    don't let your youthful
    impulses rage out of control."
[17:46] K
    Okay, I'm going to connect to the network.
[17:50] Gi
    Sure, it's all ready.
[17:59] Gi
    Remove your clothes, Kirigaya-kun.
[18:01] ---
    Wh-What?
[18:02] Gi
    I'm going to connect some electrodes.
[18:04] Gi
    When you were in the hospital,
    I saw everything already.
[18:08] K
    Um, can I just take my top off?
[18:19] Gi
    Okay, that'll do it.
[18:27] K
    Well, I'll be back later.
[18:30] K
    I should be in there for four or five hours.
[18:33] Gi
    All right! I'll keep a close eye on your body,
[18:37] ---
    so don't worry about a thing!
[18:39] K
    Th-Thanks.
[18:49] K
    Link start!
[18:57] S
    Yeah, I'm doing well.
[18:59] S
    I've gotten used to the school,
    and I've made some friends.
[19:04] ---
    It's fine.
[19:06] S
    Lately, I haven't had many attacks, either.
[19:10] S
    Yeah. I know.
[19:12] S
    Don't you catch cold, either, Uncle.
[19:14] S
    I'll be back for winter break.
[19:17] S
    Yeah.
[19:18] S
    See you later.
[19:24] S
    Ever since the incident at the post office,
[19:26] S
    just seeing a picture or a video of a gun
[19:29] ---
    was enough to send me into
    a situational panic attack.
[19:34] S
    Even here, in a Tokyo school,
    far away from my home,
[19:38] S
    my symptoms barely improved.
[19:45] S
    After Shinkawa-kun suggested it,
    I started Gun Gale Online
[19:49] ---
    as a form of immersion therapy.
[19:52] S
    But strangely, when I'm Sinon in the game,
[19:57] S
    holding a gun or seeing one pointed at me
    doesn't trigger an attack.
[20:04] S
    The stronger Sinon gets,
    the stronger the real me will get.
[20:10] S
    I believe that, and I'll keep
    fighting with the Hecate II.
[20:19] S
    If I can win the next Bullet of Bullets,
    I'm sure I can...

    I'm sure...

    If anyone can reach them in the
    real world, let me know.
[20:48] Gi
    I told you they're gone.
[20:50] Gi
    No one knows...
[20:52] Gi
    We know the day and time Death Gun shot them,
[20:55] Gi
    so if we checked whether any VMMORPG
    players died then, couldn't we tell?
[21:00] Gi
    If they lived alone, no one would
    have noticed they died,
[21:04] Gi
    and we've already confirmed
    that the police won't tell us.
[21:06] Gi
    A few people wrote
    an e-mail to Zaskar in English.
[21:09] ---
    And all they said was the usual crap.
    "We cannot share users' personal information."

    I think someone has to use
    their own body to prove it.

[04:44] K
    Crap, she thinks I'm trying to hit on her.
[04:50] S
    What?
[04:56] S
    Is this your first time playing the game?
[05:02] K
    Um...
[05:05] K
    Damn, she totally thinks I'm a girl.
[05:10] S
    Where do you want to go?
[05:13] K
    Um...
[05:16] K
    Well...
[05:29] K
    Yes, it's my first time playing.
[05:31] K
    I'm looking for somewhere to get cheap weapons,
[05:34] K
    and a place called the governor general's office.
[05:40] S
    Sure, I'll take you there.
[05:43] K
    I feel bad for this,
[05:45] K
    but I'm going to let her think I'm a girl for a while.
[05:51] S
    By the way, what are you doing at
    the governor general's office?
[05:54] K
    Um...
[05:55] K
    I want to enter an event called Bullet of Bullets.
[05:59] S
    BoB?
[06:01] S
    A-Ah, you just started today, right?
[06:04] K
    Yes.
[06:06] S
    Well...
[06:08] S
    Your stats might not be good enough.
[06:11] K
    This is a converted account,
[06:13] K
    so I'm bringing my abilities from another game.
[06:15] S
    Oh, I see.
[06:19] S
    Can I ask what brings you to a game like
    this that's dirty and stinks of oil?
[06:25] K
    I've always played fantasy games...
[06:29] K
    I wanted to play something more cyberpunk.
[06:35] K
    And I was kind of interested in gun fights.
[06:39] S
    Ah...
[06:40] S
    And you're starting with BoB?
[06:43] S
    You've got guts.
[06:45] S
    Then, I'll take you to a big
    market with lots of stuff.
[06:49] S
    We're almost there.
[06:50] K
    All right.
[07:05] K
    Th-This place is kind of amazing.
[07:09] S
    GGO has two major weapon types,
[07:12] S
    energy weapons and physical weapons.
[07:15] K
    Energy weapons are light and accurate,
[07:19] K
    but players can equip a defensive
    field that halves their damage.
[07:24] K
    If you're doing a PvP fight like BoB,
    you want a physical gun.
[07:27] K
    Okay.
[07:31] S
    Now, then...
[07:33] S
    What type of stats do you have?
[07:35] K
    Um...
[07:37] K
    Mostly strength... And speed after that.
[07:41] S
    A strength-agility type, huh?
[07:45] S
    Then your main weapon should
    be a heavy assault rifle.
[07:49] S
    Or a large-caliber machine gun as a main
    weapon and a handgun sub-weapon,
[07:53] ---
    for a mid-range type.
[07:58] S
    But you just converted, right?
[08:01] S
    So not much money?
[08:03] K
    R-Right.
[08:05] K
    Let's see. I have 1,000 credits.
[08:09] S
    That's the starting amount, isn't it?
[08:14] S
    With that money, you can't buy
    more than a small ray gun.
[08:18] S
    If you wanted a physical gun, I doubt
    you could even buy a used revolver.
[08:25] S
    Um... If you wouldn't mind...
[08:27] S
    Shall I lend you some?
[08:29] K
    N-No, you don't have to do that!
[08:33] K
    I know. Is there anywhere
    I could earn a lot of money?
[08:38] S
    I can't recommend it, but there are
    casinos and gambling games.
[08:42] S
    There's one over there.
[08:50] ---
    Hey, check it! Come on!
[08:53] K
    What's this?
[08:54] S
    You enter from that gate, and dodge
    the NPC gunman's bullets.
[09:00] S
    The goal is to make it as far as you can.
[09:03] S
    And if you tag the gunman,
[09:05] ---
    you get all the money other
    players have ever put in.
[09:08] K
    A-All of it?
[09:10] S
    About 300,000 credits, huh?
[09:11] K
    Th-That's a huge amount...
[09:14] S
    It's impossible.
[09:16] S
    Once you pass the eight-meter line,
[09:19] S
    he starts doing these cheap speed draws.
[09:22] S
    By the time you see the prediction
    lines, it's too late.
[09:25] K
    Prediction lines?
[09:27] S
    Watch... Someone's about to add to the pool.
[09:29] Gu
    Today you're gonna win!
[09:31] Gu
    Get ready!
[09:32] Gu
    All right!
[09:39] ---
    I'm gonna blast you from here to the moon.
[09:47] Gu
    Okay, I'm gonna clear this today.
[09:49] Gu
    Yeah, we're counting on you.
[09:51] Gu
    Leave it to me.
[10:02] K
    What's he doing?
[10:10] K
    Was that the predicative line?
[10:12] S
    Yes, a defensive assist system, the bullet line.
[10:16] S
    Except for a sniper's first shot,
[10:17] S
    a targeted player will see a display
[10:19] ---
    showing the path a bullet will take.
[10:30] Gu
    I'll kill you.
[10:31] Gu
    Too easy!
[10:33] Gu
    Okay!
[10:34] Gu
    Go!
[10:36] ---
    You loser.
[10:47] ---
    Game over.
[10:54] Gu
    I knew it wouldn't work.
[10:56] S
    See?
[10:57] S
    You can't move far to the left or right,
[11:00] S
    so you have to run right down the middle.
[11:03] S
    That area's the limit.
[11:06] K
    I get it...
[11:08] K
    Then, when you see the
    prediction lines, it's too late.
[11:12] S
    Hey, wait...
[11:20] Gu
    Heh, a beginner's gonna try?
[11:23] Gu
    This next loser is cute!
[11:25] Gu
    While we're here, why not take a look.
[11:35] Gu
    I'll kill you.
[11:49] ---
    You loser.
[11:56] S
    That's...
[11:57] Gu
    She's already made it ten meters?
[11:59] Gu
    Who is she?
[12:02] ---
    Die.
[12:06] ---
    Go to hell.
[12:12] K
    You're out of ammo!
[12:31] ---
    No!
[12:52] ---
    Hey, chicken, come on.
[12:55] Gu
    What was that?
[12:56] Gu
    Who is she?
[13:00] S
    What kind of reflexes do you have?
[13:03] S
    At the end, in front of it, you dodged
    lasers fewer than two meters away.
[13:09] S
    There's hardly any time between
    prediction lines and actual shots!
[13:17] K
    Well...
[13:22] K
    Isn't this game's point
[13:24] K
    to anticipate the prediction lines?
[13:31] S
    Anticipate the prediction lines?!
[13:37] K
    This assault rifle
[13:40] K
    has a smaller caliber than a
    submachine gun, so why is it bigger?
[13:47] S
    You don't even know that, but you have
    those ridiculous dodging skills?
[13:52] S
    You said this was a converted account, right?
[13:54] S
    What did you play before?
[13:56] K
    Just a plain old fantasy game...
[14:04] S
    Oh. Well, that's fine.
[14:06] S
    If you're entering the BoB qualifiers,
    I'll have a chance to see you in action.
[14:12] S
    So, what was it?
[14:14] S
    The reason an assault rifle has a small caliber?
[14:17] K
    Yes.
[14:18] S
    It goes back to the American M16.
[14:21] S
    The design revolved around
[14:23] S
    a small-caliber, high-speed round,
    with high accuracy and penetrative power.
[14:29] S
    That doesn't matter, does it?
[14:33] S
    Now that you have 300,000 credits,
    you can get some good stuff.
[14:37] S
    But in the end, it comes down to what
    you like and want to focus on.
[14:42] S
    Focus on?
[14:48] S
    Um, what about this?
[14:51] K
    Oh, that's an energy sword.
[14:54] S
    E-Energy sword?
[14:55] S
    Yeah, an energy sword.
[14:58] S
    The official name is "photon sword,"
[15:01] ---
    but everyone calls them things like
    laser blades or beam sabers.
[15:05] K
    There are swords in this world, too?
[15:08] S
    Yeah, but no one uses them.
[15:11] K
    Wh-Why?
[15:12] S
    Well, because you can only strike
     at point-blank range,
[15:17] S
    and by the time you get that close,
    you've already been blown apart.
[15:22] K
    In other words, you just have
     to get close, right?
[15:25] S
    Sure, your dodge skills are amazing,
    but against a full auto weapon...
[15:35] Gu
    Welcome!
[15:42] K
    Thanks.
[15:44] Gu
    Thank you for your purchase!
[15:49] S
    Well, everyone has their own combat style.
[15:52] K
    If they're selling it, you should be able to use it.
[15:56] K
    Even if it doesn't seem so.
[16:11] S
    She looks surprisingly good with that.
[16:22] S
    A skill from that fantasy world?
[16:24] S
    It could actually work.
[16:26] K
    No, it's nothing special.
[16:29] K
    This thing is so light, though...
[16:41] S
    Even if you go with that as your main weapon,
[16:44] S
    I think you'll need a submachine gun
     or a handgun in your inventory.
[16:48] S
    You'll need to distract them while you get close.
[16:51] K
    I understand.
[16:53] S
    How much do you have left?
[16:55] K
    150,000 or so.
[16:57] S
    Energy swords are pricey.
[17:00] S
    With 150,000...
[17:03] S
    You'll also need ammo and weapons,
[17:06] S
    so you'll want a handgun.
[17:07] S
    In that price range...
[17:10] K
    I'll leave it to you.
[17:13] S
    If you're going to enter BoB,
    you'll need a physical gun.
[17:17] S
    And if the goal is to distract them,
    you'll want accuracy over power.
[17:24] S
    It'll take almost everything you have,
     but I'd recommend this.
[17:27] S
    An FN Five-seven.
[17:30] K
    Five-seven?
[17:31] S
    The caliber.
[17:33] S
    It uses 5.7mm bullets.
[17:35] S
    They're smaller than your
    average 9mm Parabellums.
[17:39] S
    But their shape is similar to rifle rounds,
[17:41] ---
    so they have greater accuracy
    and penetrative power.
[17:47] S
    Are you listening?
[17:49] K
    Y-Yes...
[17:51] K
    Then I'll take this.
[17:53] K
    Is there anything else I should pick up?
[17:56] S
    Let's see.
[17:57] S
    A holster, spare ammo...
[18:00] S
    And armor.
[18:01] S
    A defense field, as well.
[18:04] S
    And...
[18:06] K
    What?
[18:07] S
    You've never fired a gun, have you?
[18:10] K
    No, I suppose not.
[18:11] S
    Want to try it?
[18:21] S
    You can try any gun you buy at the store.
[18:28] S
    Do you know how to fire it?
[18:30] K
    I think so.
[18:34] K
    It's surprisingly light.
[18:36] S
    It's made of reinforced plastic.
[18:39] S
    The recoil isn't bad, either.
[18:41] S
    But it's best to start firing with both hands.
[18:43] S
    Keep your left eye open, too.
[18:46] K
    Okay.
[18:59] S
    You should see a circle display.
[19:03] K
    The one that's getting bigger and smaller?
[19:07] S
    That's an offensive assist system,
[19:10] S
    the bullet circle.
[19:12] S
    Bullets hit randomly somewhere in that circle.
[19:16] K
    What's the best way to raise accuracy?
[19:18] S
    The easiest way is to get closer.
[19:21] K
    What else?
[19:23] S
    Stay calm.
[19:25] S
    If your pulse increases, the circle expands.
[19:31] K
    It's hard.
[19:54] K
    Huh?
[19:55] K
    It didn't hit.
[19:56] S
    It isn't that easy to hit.
[20:01] K
    You really helped me out.
[20:03] K
    Thank you.
[20:06] S
    There aren't many female players.
[20:09] S
    And I wasn't really doing much
    before the qualifiers.
[20:13] K
    You're entering BoB, too?
[20:17] S
    Yeah.
[20:18] S
    I'm just about to enter.
[20:22] S
    Oh, no!
[20:23] S
    We only have ten minutes!
[20:25] K
    I'm sorry.
[20:26] K
    It's my fault.
[20:27] S
    No, it's my fault for not paying attention.
[20:30] S
    Let's just hurry.
[20:34] K
    U-Um, isn't there anything like a teleporter?
[20:38] S
    Nope.
[20:39] S
    In GGO, the only teleportation is dying
    and respawning at the revival point.
[20:43] S
    And your HP will never go down
    in town, so you can't do that.
[20:48] S
    The governor general's office is over there.
[20:50] S
    It's three kilometers away...
[20:52] S
    Entering will take five minutes, so we
    need to get there in three.

    There.
[21:13] K
    Okay.
[21:17] K
    Hang on tight!
[21:26] K
    How?
[21:27] S
    These buggies are really hard to drive,
[21:30] S
    and almost no one can handle them!
[21:33] K
    W-Well...
[21:34] K
    I used to play racing games.
[21:41] K
    Are you okay?
[21:45] S
    Wow!
[21:46] S
    This feels great!
[21:49] S
    Hey, faster.

    Go faster!

    If we do, they'll kill us.
[05:10] Gu
    But we, in the lead group,
[05:13] ---
    have more people and higher levels than they.
[05:16] Gu
    They may actually surrender without fighting.
[05:43] Gu
    I-Impossible...
[05:45] Gu
    Information about our plan leaked?
[06:11] K
    They caught us off-guard, but we've regrouped.
[06:14] K
    We can do this!
[06:26] Gu
    This is the end.
[06:27] Gu
    Surrender!
[06:30] Gu
    Hey, are you listening?
[06:33] Gu
    Stop it! One more attack, and you'll die!
[06:35] Gu
    Stop... Stop it!
[07:14] Gu
    The rest of the fight was a bloody hell.
[07:19] Gu
    In that fight, we lost more than ten people.
[07:26] Gu
    At least twenty Laughing Coffin members
[07:28] ---
    let themselves be destroyed
    rather than surrender.
[07:33] Gu
    Two of them were destroyed
[07:39] ---
    by my sword.

    If he's a surviving member of LC,
[07:51] Gu
    he must've spoken to me
    at some point after the battle.
[07:56] Gu
    No, maybe...
[07:59] ---
    Could he be one of the two I killed?
[08:03] Gu
    No, that can't be...
[08:06] DG
    The name this gun and I share! Death Gun!
[08:11] K
    It's the same.
[08:13] K
    His voice was the same as Death Gun's.
[08:17] K
    He...
[08:19] ---
    The one in the gray cape is Death Gun?
[08:29] S
    You're a mess.
[08:32] K
    N-No, I'm fine.
[08:34] S
    Was the fight that close?
[08:36] S
    If so, you made it back pretty early.
[08:42] S
    If your first fight already has you like that,
    you'll never make it to the finals.
[08:47] S
    Get a grip on yourself.

    You owe me.

[11:02] S
    Since I'm a sniper, if he gets close
    to me, I'll have no chance.
[11:08] S
    But on this map, if he wants to get in close,
    he has to pass through there.
[11:14] S
    I'll finish him then.
[11:27] S
    It's his fault...
[11:42] S
    He wanted to make me waste my first shot,

[13:20] S
    I'll hit him, no matter what.
[13:28] S
    Why do I want to beat him so much?

    My only goal is to make it to the

    I have no more reason to fight.
[15:27] S
    Then shoot yourself with that gun!
[15:30] S
    Did you not want to spend the cost of a bullet?
[15:32] S
    Or did you think if you let me
    hit you, I'd be satisfied?
[15:37] S
    "This is just a single match, in a virtual game."
[15:41] S
    I know that's what you think!
[15:44] S
    But don't assume I think the same way!
[15:49] S
    But if I do see you in the finals,
[15:52] S
    even if it's a qualifier...
[15:54] S
    I won't go easy on you.
[15:57] K
    I understand.
[15:58] K
    Of course.
[15:59] K
    If that happens, let's both
    fight as hard as we can.
[16:08] K
    I'm sorry. I was wrong.
[16:12] K
    It's only a game. It's only a single match.
[16:15] K
    But that's why we need to
    fight as hard as we can.
[16:19] K
    Otherwise,
[16:21] ---
    we don't have the right,
    or reason, to live in this world.
[16:25] K
    I thought I knew that.
[16:30] K
    Sinon, would you give me a chance
    to make it up to you?
[16:33] K
    Fight me once more.
[16:37] S
    Right now?
[16:52] K
    You still have bullets, right?
[16:55] S
    Yes, just one.
[16:57] K
    Then let's do this duel-style.
[17:00] K
    Let me see...
[17:02] K
    We'll move ten meters away,
[17:03] K
    and you'll ready your rifle and me my sword.
[17:07] K
    I'll throw this bullet, and once it hits
    the ground, the match begins.
[17:10] K
    How does that work?
[17:12] S
    Listen...
[17:14] S
    At a mere ten meters, your prediction
    line assist won't help you at all.
[17:19] S
    And a shot from this Hecate will hit you for sure.
[17:22] S
    At this range, it has a one
    hundred-percent hit rate.
[17:25] K
    We won't know until we try.
[17:28] S
    Does he have some kind of plan?
[17:32] S
    If so... what is it?
[17:36] S
    I want to see it, no matter what!
[17:39] S
    All right.
[17:40] S
    We can finish things this way.
[18:07] S
    I knew it.
[18:09] S
    He has some plan.
[18:15] K
    Okay, here I go.
[18:58] K
    No!
[18:59] K
    That's impossible!
[19:15] S
    I was aiming for your left leg...
[19:18] S
    How could you predict where I was firing?
[19:22] K
    I could see your eyes on the
    other side of the scope.
[19:26] S
    He predicted the bullet's path on his own?
[19:30] S
    He's strong.
[19:32] S
    That strength goes beyond a virtual game!
[19:37] S
    If you're that strong, what are you so afraid of?
[19:43] K
    This isn't strength.
[19:45] K
    It's only skill.
[19:47] S
    You're lying... You're lying.
[19:49] S
    Technique isn't enough to cut through
    a bullet from the Hecate.
[19:53] S
    You must know that.
[19:55] S
    How can I become strong like that?
[19:58] S
    I...
[20:00] ---
    I'm trying to learn that.
[20:03] K
    If...
[20:04] ---
    If that bullet could also kill a
    player in the real world...
[20:11] K
    And if you didn't shoot them,
[20:13] ---
    you or someone you loved would be killed...
[20:17] K
    Could you still pull the trigger?
[20:23] S
    Does he know about my past?
[20:25] S
    About what happened?
[20:29] S
    No... Maybe he, too...
[20:36] K
    I can't do it anymore.
[20:40] K
    So I'm not strong.
[20:43] K
    I don't even know the real names of the two...
    No, three that I killed back then.
[20:50] K
    I just closed my eyes, put my hands over my ears,
[20:53] K
    and tried to forget it all.
[21:08] K
    Well... I suppose I won the duel, right?

[12:17] K
    Aki-san, before you moved to rehab,
    you were in surgery, right?
[12:21] Gi
    That's right.
[12:23] K
    Um, this is... This is a really
     rude and insensitive question.
[12:29] K

    about the patients who died?

    If I try to remember, I can recall
    their names and faces.
[12:41] Gi
    Even the patients I was only in the
    operating room with for an hour...
[12:46] Gi
    Yeah, I remember them.
[12:49] K
    Have you ever wanted to forget?
[12:53] Gi
    Let me see.
[12:55] Gi
    I don't know if this is an answer...
[12:59] Gi
    But I think that if it's something you're
    meant to forget, you will.
[13:04] Gi
    Without even thinking that you want to forget.
[13:07] Gi
    Because you know...
[13:08] Gi
    The more times you think you want to forget,
[13:11] Gi
    the stronger those memories become, right?
[13:16] Gi
    So doesn't that mean that,
    deep in your subconscious,
[13:20] ---
    you think you really shouldn't forget them?
[13:25] K
    Then I'm a monster.
[13:31] K
    When I was in SAO, I killed three players...

    Three people.
[13:38] K
    They were all reds.
[13:41] ---
    Murderers...
[13:43] K
    But I had the option of neutralizing
    them without killing.
[13:47] K
    But I killed them anyway.
[13:50] K
    Out of rage, hatred, and a desire for revenge.
[13:55] K
    And for the past year,
[13:57] ---
    I'd totally forgotten about them.
[14:00] K
    No, even right now, as I talk about it,
[14:03] ---
    I can't remember two of their names or faces.
[14:07] K
    In other words,
[14:09] ---
    I'm a person who can even
    forget people I've killed.
[14:19] Gi
    Kirigaya-kun, I'm sorry.
[14:22] Gi
    I told you I'd be your counselor,
[14:25] Gi
    but I can't take away your burden
[14:28] Gi
    or carry it with you.
[14:32] Gi
    I never played Sword Art Online.
[14:37] Gi
    So I can't really know what it means
    when you said you killed them.
[14:41] Gi
    But I know this.
[14:44] Gi
    You did it because you had to,
[14:47] Gi
    to protect someone else.
[14:51] Gi
    In medicine, there are times when you
    must pick who lives and who dies.
[14:55] Gi
    Of course, that doesn't mean it's okay
    to kill someone if you have a good reason.
[15:00] Gi
    But everyone involved has the right
    to consider the lives they saved.
[15:06] Gi
    You have that right.
[15:08] Gi
    You have the right to save yourself,
[15:12] Gi
    by thinking of the people you've saved.
[15:15] K
    The right to save myself?
[15:20] K
    But... But I...
[15:22] K
    I forgot the people I killed!
[15:25] K
    I threw away that burden! That duty!
[15:29] K
    That's why I don't have the right to be saved—
[15:35] Gi
    If you'd really forgotten,
    you wouldn't suffer so much.
[15:49] Gi
    You remember them.
[15:52] Gi
    When the time comes to remember
    everything, you will.
[15:56] Gi
    And when that happens, you have to remember
[16:01] ---
    that there are people you protected and saved.
[16:09] A
    Tell me if you need anything at all, okay?
[16:29] K
    Um...
[16:32] ---
    Thanks for earlier.
[16:34] Gi
    It was nothing!
[16:37] K
    I don't think anything will happen until after 8:00.
[16:41] ---
    But I'll be back at 10:00.

SIGN    Main Tournament Starts: 20 Minutes
[05:19] K
    So, in the main tournament, thirty players
    are randomly placed on the same map?
[05:26] K
    You start shooting
[05:28] ---
    when you encounter someone, and the
    last man standing is the winner?
[05:32] S
    I knew it...
[05:33] S
    You're trying to make me
    explain everything to you.
[05:38] S
    Anyway, all of that was in the
    e-mail the admins sent you!
[05:43] K
    I d-did read it, but...
[05:46] K
    I wanted to make sure I understood it.
[05:51] S
    I guess it's all in how you say it.
[05:55] S
    Basically, you're right.
[05:58] S
    It's a battle royal on a single map
     with thirty players.
[06:02] S
    Starting locations are random,
[06:04] ---
    but you'll be at least a thousand meters
     from every other player.
[06:06] K
    O-One thousand meters?
[06:08] K
    That means the map must be pretty big.
[06:11] S
    Did you really read the e-mail?
[06:16] S
    The main tournament map
[06:17] S
    is ten kilometers in diameter.
SIGN    Forest Bridge Mountainous Area
SIGN    Prairie Lost City Rural Area
[06:19] S
    It has mountains, forests, and deserts.
[06:22] S
    The stage also starts in the afternoon,
[06:24] ---
    so no one has an advantage or disadvantage
    due to equipment or stat type.
SIGN    Desert
[06:28] K
    Can you even find anyone?
[06:31] S
    You're shooting at each other with guns,
     so it has to be that big.
[06:35] S
    And participants automatically receive
     an item called a "satellite scan terminal."
[06:40] K
    Satellite...
[06:42] ---
    Like a spy satellite or something?
[06:43] S
    Yeah.
[06:44] S
    The idea is that a spy satellite passes over
    the stage once every fifteen minutes.
[06:49] S
    Then it transmits the location information
     of each player on the map to the terminal.
[06:56] K
    In other words, you can only hide
    in one place for fifteen minutes?
[07:02] S
    That's right.
[07:03] K
    But wouldn't a rule like that put
    a sniper at a disadvantage?
[07:08] S
    Fifteen minutes is more than
    enough to fire one shot,
[07:12] ---
    kill one person, and move.
[07:15] K
    O-Oh...
[07:18] S
    Okay, you're done for now?
[07:21] S
    The next time I find you...
[07:23] K
    W-Wait, wait—
[07:29] S
    Is there still something else?
[07:31] K
    It's what I really wanted to talk about.
[07:42] K
    Um... This may seem strange,
[07:46] ---
    but how many of the players participating
[07:49] ---
    in BoB for the first time have
    names you don't recognize?
[07:52] S
    What are you talking about?
[07:53] K
    Please... Tell me.
[07:55] K
    It's important.
[07:59] S
    Well, as long as it's only names,
    I don't mind telling you.
[08:05] S
    Other than a certain
[08:07] ---

    only three are new players.

    Is your plan to piss me off so
     I screw up in the main tournament?
[08:47] K
    No... No, that's not it.
[08:49] K
    That isn't it...
[08:53] S
    Does it have anything
[08:55] ---
    to do with how you started acting weird
    in the qualifiers yesterday?
[09:04] K
    Yeah, it does.
[09:06] K
    Yesterday,
[09:08] K
    a player from another VRMMO spoke to me.
[09:14] K
    One of those names is probably his.
[09:18] S
    A friend?
[09:20] K
    No, an enemy.
[09:23] K
    I tried to seriously kill him,
    and he tried to seriously kill me.
[09:26] K
    But I can't even remember what
    he used to call himself.
[09:31] S
    Kill you?
[09:33] S
    An enemy?
[09:34] K
    Were you in a party, and got
    into a fight or something?
[09:39] S
    No...
[09:40] S
    We honestly tried to take each other's life.
[09:44] S
    They... Their group...
[09:47] S
    did something absolutely unforgivable.
[09:50] S
    No way could we be friends.
[09:52] S
    I had to settle things with a sword.
[09:55] S
    I don't regret that at all.
[09:57] S
    But...
[09:59] S
    For a long time, I've been avoiding
    taking responsibility for it.
[10:03] S
    Up until now, I'd forced myself to forget.
[10:09] S
    But I'm not allowed to run anymore.
[10:12] S
    This time, I have to face it head-on.
[10:17] S
    I'm sorry for saying such a weird thing.
[10:19] S
    Forget it.
[10:21] S
    You can still pull the trigger anyway?
[10:25] K
    If that bullet could also kill a
    player in the real world...

    And if you didn't shoot them,

    The only possibilities are a quiet laser rifle
[19:43] S
    or, if it's a physical gun, a silencer...
[19:46] S
    But he shouldn't be dead, so why isn't he moving?
[19:51] K
    It looked like he was shot from the forest.
[19:54] S
    No.
[19:55] S
    I think it was from farther than that.
[19:57] S
    I just looked all the way to the end of the map,
     and no one's within a kilometer.
[20:03] S
    Wait, Kirito... Where did you come from?
[20:07] K
    I was following that Pale Rider.
[20:11] K
    Oh, that's it.
[20:13] S
    What?
[20:14] K
    Come to think of it, I was swimming
    in that river during the scan.
[20:18] K
    I was underwater the whole time,
    so I guess the satellite couldn't find me.
[20:22] S
    With that equipment? How?
[20:24] K
    I unequipped all my items and moved
    them to item storage, of course.
[20:30] S
    Then if you're at the bottom of the river,
    the satellite scan can't pick you up, huh?
[20:35] S
    I'll remember that.
[20:38] K
    Sinon, his avatar has a strange light effect.
[20:45] S
    A stun bullet?
[21:02] K
    How long has he been there?
[21:13] S
    Silent Assassin?!
[21:15] K
    Is that the name of that rifle?
[21:17] S
    Yeah...
[21:18] S
    A high-level sniper rifle that comes
    equipped with a silencer.
[21:23] S
    I'd heard rumors that it existed within GGO,
[21:26] S
    but it's the first time I've seen one.
[21:29] S
    If he can use a gun like that, who is he?
[21:49] S
    He's going to finish him with the handgun?
[21:54] K
    Sinon, fire...
[21:56] S
    At which one?
[21:57] K
    The one in the cape!
[21:59] K
    Please shoot him!
[22:00] K
    Quickly!
[22:02] K
    Before he shoots!

[00:23] Gu
    No... He may not seem like it,

[00:27] Gu
    He might be hiding until there
    are fewer players left.
[00:32] A
    Even Kirito-kun wouldn't do that...
[00:35] A
    Right, Yui-chan?
[00:36] A
    That's right.
[00:38] A
    Daddy would strike the enemy

    there'd be no time

    Hey, that's no fair!
[01:39] Gi
    He isn't out of it yet!
[01:45] Gi
    What's that?
[01:48] Gi
    Probably an attack that paralyzes
    the target for a specified time.
[01:54] Gi
    It's like the wind magic spell Thunder Web.

[04:34] S
    He knew where I was.
[04:37] K
    No way.
[04:39] S
    He must've seen me somewhere,
    so the system recognized me.
[05:28] S
    What was that?
[05:44] DG
    My true name, and the true name
    of this gun, is Death Gun.
[05:52] DG
    Someday, I will appear before you.
[05:57] DG
    And I will bring you true death with this gun.
[06:02] DG
    I have the power.
[06:06] DG
    Do not forget.
[06:08] DG
    It isn't over.
[06:10] DG
    Nothing is over.
[06:15] DG
    It's show time.
[06:20] A
    I've met him somewhere.
[06:23] A
    But where?
[06:25] A
    No, it had to be there,
[06:27] A
    inside Aincrad.
[06:31] L
    Hey, what are you doing?
[06:35] K
    No way...
[06:37] K
    He can't be...
[06:39] A
    You know who he is?
[06:42] K
    No, I can't remember his old name.
[06:45] K
    But I'm sure of it.
[06:47] K
    That's an LC member.
[06:53] S
    Laughing Coffin...
[06:55] S
    Is he the knife-user who was their leader?
[06:59] K
    No, it wasn't PoH.
[07:02] K
    He talks and acts totally different.
[07:06] K
    But what he just said, "It's show time."
[07:09] K
    That was PoH's catchphrase.
[07:12] K
    It's probably someone close to him,
    one of the high-ranking players.
[07:17] A
    Kirito-kun...
[07:24] K
    I'm certain of it.
[07:25] K
    He's Death Gun.
[07:27] S
    Death Gun?
[07:29] S
    You mean the one from that weird rumor about
    players that he shoots not logging in?
[07:34] K
    Yeah.
[07:36] K
    He's actually capable of killing
    players through some method.
[07:40] S
    No way.
[07:41] K
    Two people are already dead in real life.
[07:59] K
    He isn't coming back out.
[08:06] S
    Kirito, you watch the bridge.
[08:09] S
    I'll use this to check his name.
[08:12] K
    Okay.
[08:28] S
    He isn't here?
[08:30] S
    He moved during this short time?
[08:33] S
    No...
[08:34] S
    This is our chance.
[08:37] K
    Our chance?
[08:37] S
    The guy in the cape doesn't appear on my terminal.
[08:40] S
    He's gone underwater like you did.
[08:42] S
    Which means that all his weapons are unequipped.
[08:46] K
    You can still move underwater
    with a single handgun, right?
[08:51] S
    Even if so, I can beat a guy with a lone handgun—
[08:54] K
    No!
[08:56] K
    You just saw his black handgun kill Pale Rider.
[09:01] K
    One shot, and you could really die!
[09:08] S
    I don't want to accept
[09:11] ---
    that there's a player who's actually
    killing people in real life...
[09:16] K
    But there is.
[09:18] K
    That player in the cape, Death Gun, killed lots
    of people in the VRMMO I was once part of.
[09:25] K
    He swung his sword, knowing people would die.
[09:31] K
    And I, too...
[09:36] S
    Someone like that is really playing GGO?
[09:52] K
    Sinon!
[09:54] ---
    Sinon!
[09:59] S
    I'm fine.
[10:00] S
    Just a little surprised.
[10:02] S
    To be honest, it'll take some time
    for me to believe your story.
[10:06] S
    But I don't think it's something you made up.
[10:09] K
    Thanks.
[10:10] K
    That's plenty.
[10:12] S
    Anyway, we need to get out of here.
[10:17] S
    The other players will think we're
    fighting and come to kill us both.
[10:22] K
    You're right.
[10:24] K
    Then let's split up here.
[10:27] S
    What will you do?
[10:28] K
    I'll follow Death Gun.
[10:30] K
    Sinon, try to stay as far from him as possible.
[10:33] S
    But...
[10:34] K
    I'll keep my promise.
[10:35] K
    Next time we fight, I'll go with all I have.
[10:39] K
    Back there, thanks for listening,
    instead of shooting me.
[10:46] S
    Hey!
[10:49] S
    Jeez...
[10:52] S
    Wait!
[10:56] S
    I'm going, too.
[10:59] S
    That Death Gun's pretty strong.
[11:01] S
    If you lose to him, you can't fight me.
[11:04] K
    Well...
[11:05] S
    I don't like it,
[11:07] S
    but it'll be safer to work together temporarily,
    and knock him out of the running.
[11:12] K
    No.
[11:13] K
    He's really dangerous.
[11:16] S
    We don't know where he went,
[11:18] S
    so isn't it dangerous whether
    I stay with you or not?
[11:42] Gu
    No way!
[11:45] K
    We'll start with him.
[11:46] K
    I'll charge. You back me up.
[11:53] S
    Roger.
[12:07] K
    Now, Sinon!
[12:15] ---
    No way...
[12:36] K
    Death Gun should have gone north,
     along the river.
[12:39] K
    I want to stop him before
    there are more victims.
[12:43] K
    Give me some ideas, Sinon.
[12:48] S
    Even if he has that weird power,
[12:50] S
    he's still basically a sniper.
[12:53] S
    That puts him at a disadvantage
     in open spaces with few places to hide.
[12:57] S
    I think he's headed into that abandoned city.
[13:01] K
    Okay, we'll make for the city.
[13:07] S
    All right.
[13:22] Ki
    In SAO,
[13:25] ---
    there was an unwritten rule
     to never let someone's HP reach zero,
[13:29] ---
    no matter what happened.
[13:30] Ki
    Because if that happened, you'd really die.
[13:36] Ki
    But LC killed dozens... No, hundreds of players.
[13:42] Ki
    In the end, the lead group took them out.
[13:45] Ki
    We formed a team and tried to capture them.
[13:51] Si
    Then my brother...
[13:52] Ki
    Yeah, he probably fought on the front lines.
[13:57] Ki
    It was awful.
[13:59] Si
    He's been acting weird since last night.
[14:03] Si
    Maybe he's trying to settle this,
     once and for all.
[14:08] L
    W-Wait a second.
[14:09] L
    Wasn't it a part-time job?
[14:12] A
    I'm logging out.
[14:15] A
    I'm going to contact Kirito-kun's employer.
[14:18] Silica
    Employer?
[14:20] A
    The one who sent him to GGO
    must know something.
[14:25] A
    And, Yui-chan...
[14:27] A
    While I'm logged out, can you search
    for information on GGO?
[14:31] Y
    Roger, Mommy.
[14:34] A
    Okay, everyone.
[14:35] A
    Wait just a bit.
[14:55] S
    We didn't catch up to Death Gun.
[14:58] S
    Did we pass him somewhere?
[15:00] K
    No, no way...
[15:02] K
    The whole time we ran, I watched the water.
[15:05] S
    I see...
[15:07] S
    Then he must be somewhere in the city already.
[15:10] S
    The river ends there.
[15:13] K
    Okay.
[15:14] K
    So we'll wait for the next scan
    to identify his location,
[15:18] ---
    and take him out before he shoots someone else.
[15:20] S
    That's fine, but there's a problem.
[15:25] S
    You haven't forgotten that "Death Gun"
    isn't his character name, have you?
[15:30] K
    O-Oh, yeah...
[15:32] K
    There were three new players
    you didn't know, right?
[15:38] K
    Pale Rider wasn't Death Gun.
[15:41] ---
    Which means it's one of the other two,
    Gunner X or Sterben.
[15:47] S
    If they're both in the city,
    we don't have time to wait.
[15:52] S
    Listen, I just had an idea...
[15:55] S
    "Gunner" is like the "Gun" of "Death Gun."
[15:59] S
    And the "X" is like the cross gesture he made.
[16:03] S
    Or is that too obvious?
[16:07] K
    Well... Character names are usually obvious.
[16:11] K
    Mine's just my real name rearranged.
[16:13] K
    What about yours?
[16:15] S
    Same here.
[16:20] K
    Okay.
[16:21] K
    If both of them are there,
    we go after Gunner X.
[16:24] K
    Even if I get paralyzed like
    Pale Rider, don't panic.
[16:27] K
    Just get into sniping position.
[16:30] K
    Death Gun will come out
     to finish me with his black gun.
[16:35] K
    Fire then.
[16:38] S
    I might aim at you.
[16:40] K
    I already know you won't aim at me.
[16:44] K
    Now, it's time.
[16:46] K
    I'm counting on you, partner.
[16:57] S
    This is the only time I'm helping you, okay?
[17:12] S
    Kirito, you check from the north.
SIGN    Gunner X
[17:23] S
    There he is!
[17:24] S
    Right now, only Gunner X is in the city.
[17:27] K
    Yeah, there's no sign of Sterben.
[17:30] K
    In other words, Gunner X is Death Gun.
[17:33] K
    He's probably after this guy.
SIGN    Rikoko
[17:37] S
    We need to stop him before
    Rikoko is in firing range.
[17:40] K
    Yeah.
[17:41] K
    Back me up.
[17:42] S
    Roger.
[18:11] S
    There he is.
[18:12] S
    Over there.
[18:13] K
    Seems like he's still waiting for Rikoko.
[18:17] K
    Okay.
[18:18] K
    While there's still time, I'll hit from behind.
[18:21] K
    Sinon, you get into position in the
    building in front of the stadium.
[18:25] S
    I was going to go with you...
[18:27] K
    I can fight without fear
    because you're backing me up.
[18:31] K
    That's what a partner does, right?
[18:38] K
    I'll begin my attack thirty seconds
    after I split from you.
[18:41] K
    Is that enough time?
[18:43] S
    Yeah, it's plenty.
[18:45] K
    Okay, thanks.
[19:05] S
    If I defeat Death Gun,
    he'll go back to being my enemy.
[19:09] S
    I'll shoot him, defeat him...
[19:13] S
    And forget him.
[19:16] S
    I'll never see him again.
[19:29] S
    What?
[19:37] S
    Who's there?
[19:38] S
    Death Gun is in the stadium.
[20:08] DG
    Kirito, this will tell me
[20:14] DG
    if you're real or a fake.
[20:18] DG
    I remember your raging anger back then.
[20:25] DG
    If I kill this woman and you go mad
    the same way you did then,
[20:30] DG
    you're real.
[20:34] S
    Kill me? Me?
[20:38] DG
    Now, show me your rage, Kirito.
[20:44] DG
    Your desire to kill.
[20:46] DG
    Your mad blade.
[20:50] DG
    Show me once again.

[10:24] S
    I think so.
[10:26] S
    It's an ability called Metamaterial
    Optic-Distortion Camouflage.
[10:33] S
    We should be all right here.
[10:35] S
    The ground is rough sand,
[10:37] ---
    so even if he's invisible,
    he'll still make sound as he moves,
[10:40] S
    and we'll see his footsteps.
[10:42] S
    He can't just appear right next
     to us like last time.
[10:46] K
    I understand.
[10:47] K
    Then we need to keep our ears sharp.
[10:55] S
    Hey, is there
[10:59] ---
    any chance he died in that last explosion?
[11:03] K
    No,
[11:04] K
    right before the truck blew,
    I saw him jump off his robot horse.
[11:09] K
    I doubt he's unharmed,
[11:12] ---
    but I can't believe it killed him.
[11:15] S
    I see.
[11:18] S
    At the stadium, how were you able
    to come to save me so quickly?
[11:24] S
    You were on the outer rim, right?
[11:28] K
    I realized immediately that the Gunner X
[11:31] ---
    we were after wasn't Death Gun.
[11:35] S
    How?
[11:37] K
    It was definitely a woman.
[11:41] K
    That's when I knew we'd missed something big.
[11:46] K
    By the way, her real name isn't
    "Gunner X." It's "Musketeer X."
[11:53] K
    I defeated Musketeer-san,
[11:55] ---
    and I looked south from the stadium,
    and saw you lying on the road.
[12:00] K
    I thought you were in danger, so I
    borrowed her rifle and smoke grenades,
[12:05] K
    and ran while shooting and throwing.
[12:14] S
    If only I'd been more alert...
[12:19] K
    You don't need to blame yourself so much.
[12:23] K
    I didn't realize he was hiding, either.
[12:28] K
    If we'd changed positions, I would've been
    the one hit with the tranquilizer.
[12:33] K
    And then you would've saved me.
[12:37] K
    Right?
[12:39] S
    I'm being consoled by the man
    I thought was my rival...
[12:45] S
    He knows I'm broken and weak.
[12:49] S
    And he's trying to console me like a child.
[12:53] K
    Anyway, I'm going.
[12:55] K
    You should stay here and rest a while longer.
[12:58] K
    Honestly, I'd rather you logged out,
[13:01] ---
    but you can't do that during the tournament.
[13:08] S
    You're going to fight him...
[13:11] ---
    To fight Death Gun alone?
[13:13] K
    Yeah.
[13:14] K
    He's strong.
[13:16] K
    To be honest,
[13:17] ---
    it'll be tough to defeat him without
    his firing at least once.
[13:21] K
    If he points that gun at me again,
[13:23] K
    I might abandon you and run.
[13:26] K
    So I can't drag you into this anymore.
[13:31] S
    You're afraid of him, too.
[13:34] K
    Yeah, I am.
[13:37] K
    A while ago,
[13:39] ---
    I might've been able to fight him,
    even if it meant I could die.
[13:43] K
    But now there are a lot of things I have to protect.
[13:48] K
    I can't die,
[13:49] K
    and I don't want to.
[13:51] S
    Things you want to protect?
[13:53] K
    Yeah.
[13:54] K
    In the virtual world and in the real one.
[13:58] S
    Then just stay in this cave and hide.
[14:03] S
    During BoB, you can't log out on your own.
[14:06] S
    But as soon as it's just us and another one,
[14:08] S
    we can kill ourselves and let that person win.
[14:12] S
    That'll end the tournament.
[14:14] K
    I get it.
[14:16] K
    That's one option...
[14:18] K
    But I can't do that.
[14:21] K
    If we just wait for the tournament to end,
[14:25] K
    there's no telling how many others
    he'll point that gun at.
[14:29] S
    Oh.
[14:32] S
    You really are strong.
[14:39] S
    I won't run.
[14:43] S
    I'll go outside and fight that man, too.
[14:46] K
    No, Sinon.
[14:48] K
    If he shoots you, you could really die.
[14:51] K
    I'm a 100% melee type,
[14:54] K
    but you aren't!
[14:55] K
    He can turn invisible.
    If he gets close and surprises you,
[14:59] K
    you're in far more danger than I am.
[15:02] S
    I don't care if I die.
[15:06] S
    Back there, I was so scared...
[15:09] S
    I was so scared of dying.
[15:11] S
    I was weaker than five years ago.
[15:14] S
    Pathetic. Screaming.
[15:17] S
    I'd rather die than live like that.
[15:23] K
    Of course you're scared...
[15:25] K
    There's no one who isn't afraid to die.
[15:27] S
    I don't want to be scared.
[15:30] S
    I'm tired of living in fear.
[15:33] S
    I won't ask to come with you.
[15:38] S
    I can fight on my own!
[15:43] K
    You'll fight alone, and you'll die alone.
[15:45] K
    Is that what you're trying to say?
[15:48] S
    Yeah.
[15:48] S
    I think that's my fate.
[15:53] S
    Let me go.
[15:54] S
    I have to go!
[15:56] K
    You're wrong.
[15:58] K
    No one dies alone.
[16:01] K
    When someone dies, the part of them that
    lives inside someone else also dies.
[16:06] K
    You already live inside me.
[16:09] S
    That's impossible.
[16:12] S
    I've never given myself to anyone else.
[16:16] K
    We're already involved with one another!
[16:21] S
    Then...
[16:23] ---
    Then...
[16:24] S
    You protect me for the rest of my life!
[16:34] S
    You don't know anything!
[16:36] S
    You can't do anything!
[16:38] S
    Don't say that!
[16:40] S
    This... This is my battle, and no one else's!
[16:45] S
    Even if I lose,
[16:46] S
    even if I die...
[16:47] S
    No one has the right to blame me!
[16:53] S
    Or will you carry that burden forever?
[16:57] S
    Will you... Will you...
[17:02] ---
    hold the hands of a murderer?!

[18:21] Flashback
    I hate you, but...
[18:24] Flashback
    Let me lean against you for a while.
[18:34] Flashback
    I...
[18:37] ---
    killed someone.
[18:42] Flashback
    Five years ago,
[18:44] ---
    there was a robbery at a post office
    in a small Tohoku town.
[18:49] Flashback
    The media said the robber died
     when his gun misfired.
[18:55] Flashback
    But actually, I was there, and I stole his gun.
[19:00] Flashback
    And I shot him to death.
[19:03] K
    Five years ago?
[19:04] S
    I was eleven.
[19:06] S
    Ever since then, whenever I see a gun,
     I throw up or pass out.
[19:12] S
    Whenever I see a gun, I can see
    the face of the man I killed.
[19:19] S
    And I get scared... So scared.
[19:22] K
    But...
[19:23] S
    Yeah.
[19:25] S
    But in this world, I've been okay.
[19:27] S
    So I thought...
[19:30] S
    If I could be the strongest person in this world,
[19:33] S
    I could be stronger in the real world.
[19:36] S
    I could forget that memory...
[19:39] S
    But back there, when Death Gun attacked me,
[19:44] S
    I was scared.
[19:46] ---
    At some point, I stopped being Sinon.
[19:49] S
    I was back to being the real me.
[19:53] S
    I'm scared to die.
[19:55] S
    But... But...
[19:57] S
    Living in fear hurts just as much.
[20:02] S
    If I run from Death Gun and those
    memories, without fighting,
[20:07] S
    I'll become even weaker than I was.
[20:10] S
    So...
[20:11] S
    So...
[20:13] K
    I...
[20:15] K
    I...
[20:16] ---
    killed someone, too.
[20:21] K
    I told you before that I knew Death Gun,
[20:24] ---
    that guy in the cape, from another game, right?
[20:28] K
    The name of that game
[20:31] ---
    was Sword Art Online.
[20:36] S
    Then you really are...
[20:39] K
    Yeah.
[20:39] K
    What they call a SAO survivor.
[20:42] K
    So is Death Gun.
[20:44] K
    He was a member of a murder
    guild named Laughing Coffin,
[20:49] K
    a red player.
[20:52] K
    A raid-sized party was formed to imprison them.
[20:58] K
    I was one of the members.
[21:04] K
    The information was leaked,
    and we were ambushed instead.
[21:08] K
    In the horrible chaos that followed, I killed
    two LC members with my own hands.
[21:22] K
    But I'd forced myself to forget what I'd done.
[21:27] K
    Until yesterday, when I met that man, Death Gun.
[21:32] S
    Then Death Gun was a member of that
    guild you fought, Laughing Coffin?
[21:38] K
    Yeah.
[21:39] K
    He has to be one of the ones who
    survived and was imprisoned.
[21:44] K
    So...
[21:46] ---
    I have to finish things with him here,
[21:51] K
    in this world.

[00:06] S
    Then Death Gun was a member of that
    guild you fought, Laughing Coffin?
[00:16] S
    Kirito,
[00:18] S
    tell me one thing.
[00:20] S
    How did you overcome those memories?
[00:24] S
    How did you keep them from
    controlling your life?
[00:26] S
    How are you able to be so strong now?
[00:34] K
    I haven't overcome them.
[00:38] K
    Last night,
[00:39] ---
    I had a dream where I saw the three
    I killed over and over again.
[00:43] K
    I could barely sleep.
[00:46] K
    Their faces when their avatars disappeared...
[00:49] K
    Their voices, their words...
[00:52] K
    I'll never
[00:54] ---
    be able to forget them.
[00:56] S
    Th-Then...
[00:59] S
    Then, what do
[01:03] ---
    I do?
[01:05] K
    But, Sinon...
[01:08] K
    I think that's necessary.
[01:10] K
    I needed to accept what killing them meant,
[01:14] ---
    the weight, and to keep thinking.
[01:18] K
    Doing that is the bare minimum
    of atonement I can do.
[01:26] S
    Accept? Keep thinking?
SIGN    What It Means To Be Strong
[03:18] S
    Death Gun...
[03:20] S
    Whoever is wearing that cape is a real person,
[03:23] ---
    who actually exists, aren't they?
[03:26] K
    Yeah.
[03:28] K
    If I knew their name from SAO,
[03:30] K
    we could find their true name and address.
[03:35] K
    That's why I came here.
[03:39] S
    Oh...
[03:40] S
    Then he can't forget about SAO,
[03:44] ---
    and he came to GGO because
    he wants to PK again?
[03:48] K
    I think it's more than that.
[03:50] K
    When he killed Zexceed and
    Lightly Salted Tarako...
[03:54] K
    And when he killed Pale Rider
    in this tournament...
[03:57] K
    He chose times when a lot
    of people were watching.
[04:01] K
    That exaggerated cross sign...
[04:03] K
    He's probably trying to appeal
    to a large mass of people.
[04:07] K
    To show them that he really has
    the ability to kill people from a game.
[04:13] S
    But how is that possible?
[04:16] K
    From what I heard, Zexceed and Tarako
[04:19] ---
    didn't die of brain damage, but heart failure.
[04:24] S
    Heart failure?
[04:25] S
    That's...
[04:27] K
    To be honest, I can't even
    imagine how he's doing it.
[04:31] K
    I'd like to think that
[04:33] ---
    there's no way to stop a player's heart
    by shooting them in a game.
[04:39] K
    No, wait.
[04:41] K
    Come to think of it...
[04:44] K
    It's kind of strange.
[04:45] S
    What is?
[04:46] K
    Why did Death Gun use his rifle
    to shoot at me back there,
[04:51] ---
    rather than his handgun?
[04:55] K
    If he'd used his handgun, he could've killed me.
[04:59] S
    That's true.
[05:09] K
    Maybe it isn't that he didn't use it.
[05:13] K
    But that he couldn't use it.
[05:15] K
    That black handgun.
[05:17] K
    A reason he couldn't shoot it.
[05:19] K
    His rifle.
[05:20] K
    That cross sign he made.
[05:22] K
    A cape that hides you.
[05:23] K
    Conditions... Rules.
[05:26] Gu
    Well, I'm relieved to hear you say that aloud...
[05:31] K
    I knew it.
[05:32] K
    You can't really kill someone
    with a gun in a game.
[05:36] K
    Just shooting them with a gun in
    the game wouldn't be enough.
[05:40] S
    What do you mean?
[05:42] K
    What if you needed to make some
    preparations in the real world
[05:46] ---
    to kill someone by shooting with a gun here?
[05:49] S
    Preparations in the real world?
[05:52] S
    If that was the case,
[05:54] ---
    how would he find the player's
    real-world information?
[05:56] S
    He doesn't know who they are.
SIGN    User Information
    
    Name
    Address
    Phone Number
[06:01] K
    No, even a regular player could
    find the target's address.
[06:07] K
    The governor general's office.
[06:08] K
    BoB players enter their true names
    and addresses into that terminal.
[06:13] K
    It's an open space with no privacy.
[06:17] S
    No way.
[06:19] S
    When we entered them, he was
    looking over our shoulders?
[06:22] S
    If someone was that close, we'd have noticed.
[06:26] K
    What if he was using a scope or binoculars?
[06:29] S
    That's impossible...
[06:31] S
    He'd get his butt kicked for bad manners.
[06:36] K
    What if, just hypothetically,
    Death Gun's cape worked in town?
[06:44] S
    He turned invisible and looked
    over our shoulders?
[06:47] S
    But Death Gun's logged into the game.
[06:50] S
    He can't do anything in real life.
[06:59] K
    No.
[07:00] K
    No, he can!
[07:03] K
    There are two Death Guns...
[07:05] K
    Two of them!
[07:09] K
    The first of them is the avatar
    in the beat-up cape.
[07:12] K
    He shoots the target in the game.
[07:14] K
    The second enters the target's
    room in the real world
[07:18] ---
    and simultaneously kills the defenseless player.
[07:25] S
    Even if they knew the targets' true addresses,
[07:28] S
    they'd need a key to get in.
[07:30] S
    What about others in their houses?
[07:31] K
    Zexceed and Tarako both lived alone,
    in old apartment buildings.
[07:38] K
    The electronic locks on the doors were
    probably older ones with bad security.
[07:43] K
    And when their target is diving in GGO,
[07:47] ---
    their actual body is completely unconscious.
[07:49] K
    Even if they had trouble opening it,
    there's no way they'd be noticed.
[07:54] S
    Th-Then how do victims die?
[07:56] S
    You said it was heart failure, right?
[07:58] S
    Could you stop someone's heart in a way
     that's undetectable to police and doctors?
[08:03] K
    Some kind of drug...
[08:06] ---
    Maybe?
[08:07] S
    But wouldn't they find that?
[08:11] S
    Like a pin prick from the injection...
[08:13] K
    The bodies weren't found for a while,
    so they were badly decomposed.
[08:17] K
    And it isn't unheard of for
    hardcore VRMMO players
[08:22] ---
    to die of heart attacks after not eating or sleeping.
[08:26] S
    No way.
[08:30] S
    Why would Death Gun do all that?
[08:33] K
    Yeah.
[08:35] K
    But he must've wanted to
    keep being a red player.
[08:40] K
    For example, part of me still
    remembers being a swordsman.
[08:44] S
    I kind of understand that.
[08:48] S
    Sometimes, I think to myself that I'm a sniper.
[08:53] S
    Then the other Death Gun who's killing
    people in the real world is also...
[09:00] K
    Yeah.
[09:01] K
    He might be another Laughing Coffin member.
[09:04] K
    But he needs to check that the time closely
    aligns with his real world partner,
[09:09] K
    or he wouldn't be able to do it.
[09:12] K
    That's it.
[09:13] K
    Maybe that cross gesture
[09:17] ---
    is to camouflage checking his wristwatch.
[09:23] S
    I see...
[09:29] K
    Sinon,
[09:31] K
    do you live alone?
[09:33] S
    Y-Yeah.
[09:35] S
    The door's locked, though.
[09:38] S
    I have an old electronic lock, too.
[09:41] S
    The chain...
[09:44] S
    Might not be locked.
[09:47] K
    All right...
[09:50] K
    Listen.
[09:51] K
    Stay calm and listen.
[09:56] K
    When he was firing at us from his robot horse,
[09:59] K
    he was aiming at you.
[10:01] K
    That means the preparations are complete.
[10:05] S
    Preparations? For what?
[10:09] K
    Death Gun's partner is in your room right now,
[10:15] K
    watching a video of the tournament
    and waiting for you to be shot.
[10:20] K
    It's possible, anyway.
[10:59] S
    No... No!
[11:02] S
    No! I can't...
[11:20] K
    No, Sinon!
[11:21] K
    If you automatically log out now,
    you'll be in danger.
[11:24] K
    You can do it. Calm yourself.
[11:37] K
    Until Death Gun shoots you,
    the intruder can't do anything to you.
[11:42] K
    That's the rule they set for themselves.
[11:45] K
    But if you automatically log out and
    see his face, you'll be in danger.
[11:51] K
    So for now, calm down.
[11:53] S
    But... But...
[11:55] S
    I'm scared! I'm scared!
[12:08] L
    Chrysheight!
[12:10] L
    You're late!
[12:12] Gu
    I c-came here at top speed from the save point.
[12:17] Gu
    If ALO had speed limits,
    they would've taken my license.
[12:26] A
    What's going on?
[12:32] Gu
    It might take a while to explain
    the whole thing...
[12:37] Gu
    And I don't even know where to start—
[12:40] A
    Trying to talk your way out of it?
[12:42] Al
    Then I'll handle it.
[12:45] Al
    On November 9th, a player calling himself
[12:49] ---
    Death Gun fired a shot into a monitor in GGO.
[12:53] Al
    On the same day, in a Nakano Ward apartment,
[12:55] ---
    a player in full-dive died of unnatural causes.
[13:03] Gu
    Well, that's a surprise.
[13:06] Gu
    You gathered all that information
    in this short a time,
[13:09] ---
    and reached that conclusion?
[13:11] Gu
    Any interest in a part-time job
    with the Virtual Division?
[13:15] Gu
    No, I'm sorry...
[13:17] Gu
    At this point, I'm not going to try and lie to you.
[13:19] Gu
    The little one's explanation is right.
[13:22] Gu
    All of it.
[13:24] Gu
    Hey, Mister Chrys...
[13:26] Gu
    I heard you're the one who hired Kirito.
[13:29] Gu
    So you knew
[13:31] ---
    about those murders and had Kirito
    convert his avatar anyway?
[13:35] Gu
    Wait a second, Klein.
[13:37] Gu
    They aren't murders.
[13:39] Gu
    What?
[13:40] Gu
    An Amusphere couldn't hurt a hair on your head,
[13:44] ---
    no matter what you did with it.
[13:46] Gu
    And it certainly can't stop a heart
    that it isn't even connected to.
[13:50] Gu
    Last week, Kirito-kun and
    I had a long debate about it,
[13:53] Gu
    and ultimately reached that conclusion.
[13:56] Gu
    A bullet in a video game can't
    kill a body in the real world.
[14:03] Gi
    Then why did you ask my brother to go to GGO?
[14:10] Gi
    You felt something...
[14:11] Gi
    No,
[14:13] ---
    you still do.
[14:14] Gi
    That player named Death Gun has some
    kind of terrifying secret, right?
[14:20] A
    Chrys-san...
[14:22] A
    Death Gun is an SAO survivor like us.
[14:27] A
    And a former member of Laughing Coffin,
    the worst of the red guilds.
[14:33] Gu
    Is that true?
[14:34] A
    Yeah.
[14:35] A
    I can't remember his name.
[14:38] A
    But Klein and I were part of the fight against LC.
[14:42] L
    H-Hey, Asuna...
[14:44] L
    Does Chrysheight know about SAO?
[14:47] L
    You said in the real world,
[14:49] ---
    he's some government employee who
    does some kind of network stuff.
[14:52] L
    And as part of his research into
    VRMMOs, he's playing ALO...
[14:58] Gu
    That's right, but I used to have another job.
[15:02] Gu
    I was
[15:04] ---
    part of the SAO Incident Task Force.
[15:08] Gu
    Not that we were actually able
    to respond in any real way.
[15:14] A
    Chrysheight,
[15:16] ---
    wouldn't you be able to find Death Gun's
     real life name and address?
[15:22] A
    If you have a list of the surviving
    Laughing Coffin members,
[15:27] ---
    and you check with their service providers
    to see if they're playing GGO right now?
[15:32] Gu
    No, that's impossible.
[15:34] Gu
    Just knowing that they're a former
    Laughing Coffin member
[15:37] ---
    wouldn't tell us their true name or address.
[15:39] Si
    Then why don't we ask the game's owners?
[15:42] Gu
    GGO is run by an overseas company.
[15:45] Gu
    So it'd be hard to do it now.
[15:49] Gi
    I'm sure my brother is on that battlefield
    to learn their name right now.
[15:57] Gi
    When he came back yesterday,
    my brother looked really scared.
[16:02] Gi
    I think he realized during yesterday's qualifiers
[16:06] Gi
    that someone from Laughing Coffin was playing GGO.
[16:10] Gi
    And that they might be trying to kill again.
[16:15] Gi
    So he went to finish things with them.
[16:19] Gi
    To find their old name and
    to make them stop PKing.
[16:23] A
    Kirito-kun...
[16:25] A
    You...
[16:26] A
    You always...
[16:27] A
    You always are...
[16:31] Gu
    You idiot!
[16:33] Gu
    Why didn't you tell me?!
[16:34] Gu
    If you had, I would've converted, too.
[16:39] Gi
    That's right.
[16:41] Gi
    But Kirito-san wouldn't do that.
[16:44] Gi
    If he thought there was any danger at all,
[16:46] Gi
    he wouldn't try to involve us.
[16:49] Gi
    That's the kind of person he is.
[16:51] L
    Yeah...
[16:53] L
    He's always been like that.
[16:55] L
    In fact, he's probably protecting someone
[16:58] ---
    who's supposed to be his enemy right now.
[17:06] A
    Chrysheight, you must know where
    Kirito-kun is diving from.
[17:12] Gu
    Y-Yes, I suppose.
[17:17] Gu
    I do.
[17:19] Gu
    Actually, I had the place set up for him.
[17:21] Gu
    The security's perfect, and so is the monitoring.
[17:24] Gu
    There's someone right next to him,
[17:27] Gu
    and I can say for sure that his
    real body is in no danger—
[17:30] A
    Where is he?
[17:32] Gu
    It's an Ochanomizu hospital, in Chiyoda Ward.
[17:36] A
    A hospital in Chiyoda?
[17:38] A
    The one he went to for rehab?
[17:41] Gu
    Yes, that's right.
[17:43] A
    I'm going to the place he is in the real world.
[17:54] S
    Tell me what to do.
[17:57] K
    Defeat Death Gun.
[17:59] K
    Then his partner will disappear,
    unable to do anything.
[18:05] S
    But even without his Black Star, he's pretty good.
[18:11] S
    Didn't you see him dodge a shot from
    the Hecate at a hundred meters?
[18:16] S
    And I don't think we can hide like this forever.
[18:20] S
    The other players will realize
    that we're hiding in this desert cave.
[18:26] S
    At any second, we could be
    attacked with a grenade.
[18:30] K
    I see.
[18:31] S
    We've been a pair this far.
[18:34] S
    Let's fight together to the end.
[18:37] K
    But if he shoots you with that handgun...
[18:41] S
    That thing's just an obsolete single-action.
[18:45] S
    Even if he shoots at me, you can use
    your sword to deflect it easily, right?
[18:50] K
    Yeah, I won't let him hit you.
[18:53] K
    But I still think it's better if he didn't see you.
[19:00] S
    But...
[19:01] K
    No, I'll gladly accept your offer of help.
[19:06] K
    But, Sinon, you're a sniper.
[19:09] K
    You're best firing from long range.
[19:12] S
    That's true.
[19:14] K
    Let's do this.
[19:15] K
    During the next satellite scan,
[19:17] ---
    I'll show up on the map alone
    and draw out Death Gun.
[19:22] K
    He'll probably hide far away and
    try to shoot me with the rifle.
[19:27] K
    We'll use his shot to find his location,
    and you shoot him.
[19:30] K
    How about it?
[19:31] S
    You're going to be a decoy?
[19:35] S
    Fine...
[19:36] S
    We'll do that.
[19:38] S
    But just be sure you don't
    get killed by the first shot.
[19:43] K
    I-I'll try.
[19:45] K
    But his rifle doesn't make any sound,
[19:48] K
    and you can't see a prediction line on the first shot.
[19:51] S
    Who was it that said you should
    anticipate the prediction lines?
[19:56] K
    Um, that aside, Sinon...
[20:04] S
    Crap.
[20:06] S
    I should have paid more attention.
[20:08] K
    Uh, what is that?
[20:11] S
    The live broadcast camera.
[20:13] S
    Normally, it only focuses on battles,
[20:16] S
    but there aren't many players left,
    so it came here.
[20:21] K
    That's bad.
[20:22] K
    Our conversation...
[20:23] S
    It's okay.
[20:25] S
    It won't pick up voices unless you yell.
[20:28] S
    Why not wave?
[20:30] S
    Or is there someone you don't want seeing this?
[20:35] K
    N-No, well...
[20:38] K
    Wh-What about you?
[20:40] K
    I think most people seeing this will
    assume we're both women.
[20:46] S
    I-It's fine. I don't care.
[20:49] S
    If a rumor goes around that I'm into that,
[20:52] S
    it means fewer people will go after me.
[20:53] K
    Then I have to keep pretending to be a girl?
[20:57] S
    Don't tell me you forgot...
[20:59] S
    The first thing you did was pretend
    to be a girl to make me—
[21:04] S
    It's gone.
[21:08] S
    It's nearly time.
[21:10] S
    There are two minutes until
    the next satellite scan.
[21:13] S
    I'll stay here,
[21:15] S
    and you'll go outside and check
    your terminal, right?
[21:23] K
    Oh, come to think of it...
[21:25] S
    What now?
[21:27] S
    There's no time to change the plan.
[21:29] K
    No, the plan stays as is.
[21:32] K
    Not that...
[21:34] K
    I was just thinking that, in the end,
     Death Gun's true name...
[21:36] K
    Or I guess his actual character name is "Sterben."
[21:40] S
    Oh, I see.
[21:41] S
    I guess so.
[21:44] S
    What does it mean, I wonder.
[21:47] K
    If I get close to him, I'll ask.
[21:52] K
    Okay, I'll be outside.
[21:57] S
    Be careful.

[00:16] K
    No one's around here, huh?
SIGN    Dark Wind
[00:28] K
    There are six left, including Sinon and
    Death Gun, who doesn't show up.
[00:35] K
    They took each other out?
[00:38] K
    Four left.
[00:43] K
    At the start, there were thirty people.
[00:45] K
    Two survivors...
[00:47] K
    Twenty-four killed.
[00:49] K
    Adding Sinon and Death Gun
    comes to twenty-eight.
[00:52] K
    Pale Rider makes twenty-nine.
[00:56] K
    We're missing one.
[01:00] K
    Did Death Gun take someone else out afterward?
[01:04] K
    No, whoever's working with him is
    standing by near Sinon's house...
[01:11] K
    I may be missing something big.
SIGN    Bullet of a Phantom
[03:05] S
    Well?
[03:06] K
    There should be five left.
[03:08] K
    Me, you, Dark Wind,
[03:11] ---
    Death Gun, who doesn't appear on the screen,
[03:13] K
    and maybe one more...
[03:15] K
    They might be hiding in a cave like we are.
[03:19] S
    Just five left...
[03:22] S
    But it's been an hour and forty-five minutes.
[03:27] S
    Considering the last match ended
    in just over two hours,
[03:30] S
    we're basically matching the pace.
[03:32] S
    It's strange that no one came
    to chuck a grenade in here.
[03:36] K
    Yeah.
[03:38] K
    It's possible that
[03:39] ---
    Death Gun might have been looking for us,
[03:42] K
    and taking out anyone he saw with his rifle.
[03:46] S
    Then he's sure to get the "max kills" award.
[03:52] S
    Anyway, the problem is Dark Wind.
[03:55] S
    You're the only survivor who
    showed up on his terminal.
[03:58] S
    He'll definitely come for you.
[04:01] K
    Is he strong?
[04:02] S
    Last time, he came in second place.
[04:05] S
    He's a typical agility build
[04:07] S
    called the Run-Gun Demon.
[04:10] K
    Ru... Run-Gun?
[04:12] S
    Run and Gun...
[04:13] S
    A style where you run, shoot, and run again.
[04:16] S
    He uses an ultra-lightweight machine gun,
     the Calico M900A.
[04:21] S
    Last time, he lost to Zexceed's rare gun
    and armor and came in second,
[04:26] S
    but some people say he's the better player.
[04:35] K
    D-Does that mean
[04:37] ---
    he might be the best player on
    the Japanese GGO server?
[04:41] S
    Listen...
[04:43] ---
    If your guess is right,
[04:45] ---
    right now, I'm the only person Death Gun can kill.
[04:49] S
    Because his partner needs to be near my home.
[04:54] S
    In other words, that means Dark Wind
    can't be killed by Death Gun.
[05:00] S
    So I kind of hate to say this,
[05:02] ---
    but couldn't we use him as a decoy?
SIGN    Dark Wind
[05:06] S
    If Death Gun shoots him, we'll know where he is.
[05:11] S
    And you could say I'm doing something similar.
[05:17] K
    You're strong, Sinon...
[05:21] S
    No, I'm just trying not to think about it.
[05:24] S
    I've always been good at closing
    my eyes to something scary.
[05:28] S
    Anyway, what about that plan?
[05:30] K
    Yeah, I'm basically in favor.
[05:35] K
    But there's something that bothers me.
[05:38] K
    I counted all the surviving and defeated players
[05:42] ---
    and it only added up to twenty-eight.
[05:44] K
    Even if one is Pale Rider,
    that doesn't explain the other.
[05:48] S
    Are you saying Death Gun killed
    someone else after that?
[05:52] S
    That's impossible.
[05:54] S
    His partner should be after me, shouldn't he?
[05:57] K
    Yeah, that's true, but...
[06:00] K
    When you think about it,
    it doesn't make much sense.
[06:03] K
    There were only thirty minutes
[06:06] ---
    between Death Gun shooting Pale Rider
     and his trying to shoot you.
[06:10] K
    In other words, Pale Rider's house
    must be in the same prefecture,
[06:13] ---
    and under thirty minutes away.
[06:17] K
    Isn't that a little too convenient?
[06:19] S
    But it's the only possibility.
[06:22] K
    We don't know for sure that
    Death Gun only has one partner.
[06:26] K
    If there's more than one,
[06:29] K
    one might be waiting for you,
[06:32] K
    while another player is killed.
[06:36] K
    In other words,
[06:37] K
    it's possible that Dark Wind
    is also a Death Gun target.
[06:48] S
    N-No...
[06:50] S
    You're telling me that three or more are
    involved in something so terrifying?
[06:54] K
    At least ten Laughing Coffin players survived.
[06:59] K
    I can't believe that every single
    one of them is involved,
[07:02] ---
    but we have no evidence that
    there's only one other person.
[07:05] S
    Why...
[07:07] ---
    Why is it so important for them
    to be player killers?
[07:11] S
    They were finally released from
    that death game, so why?
[07:16] K
    It's probably the same reason
[07:18] ---
    that I try to be a swordsman
[07:21] K
    and you try to be a sniper.
[07:26] S
    I called them player killers, but I take that back.
[07:29] S
    In this game, there are many who PK.
[07:32] S
    I was in a squadron like that.
[07:35] S
    But PKs have their own pride and resolve.
[07:39] S
    Killing someone with poison while
    they're full-diving isn't PKing.
[07:45] S
    It's just a cowardly crime.
[07:47] S
    It's murder.
[07:49] S
    Which means we can't lose to people like that!
[07:53] K
    Yeah, that's right.
[07:55] K
    We can't let them get away with this anymore.
[07:59] K
    I'll defeat Death Gun on this battlefield,
[08:01] K
    and make him and his real world partners pay.
[08:06] K
    Yeah, that's the first duty I must fulfill.
[08:11] K
    I need to start over from there,
[08:14] K
    and atone for killing two amidst that chaos,
[08:17] K
    and then the other one later on.
[08:22] K
    I need to protect Sinon, defeat Dark Wind,
    and beat Death Gun.
[08:27] K
    It won't be easy,
[08:28] K
    but I need to do it, no matter what.
[08:30] S
    I'll handle Dark Wind.
[08:34] S
    I won't let Death Gun kill him.
[08:37] S
    He's strong.
[08:38] S
    Even you won't be able
     to take him out in one hit.
[08:41] S
    While you're fighting him,
    Death Gun will go after you.
[08:44] K
    Th-That might be true, but...
[08:47] S
    You said it, too, right?
[08:50] S
    I'm a sniper.
[08:52] S
    If you act as my spotter and tell me
     the enemy's location,
[08:56] S
    I'll handle Dark Wind and Death Gun.
[09:00] K
    I see.
[09:03] K
    Then I'll leave the sniping to you.
[09:05] K
    The two of them must be getting close.
[09:08] K
    I'll jump out in the buggy first.
[09:11] K
    You leave afterward and get
    to a position where you can attack.
[09:24] S
    Good luck out there, partner.
[09:54] K
    Dark Wind is coming from the west,
[09:57] K
    so if Death Gun is going to open fire,
    it'll probably be from the east.
[10:02] K
    If he takes a hit in his heart or his head,
    it's almost certain death.
[10:05] K
    And he'll shoot while he's invisible with his cape.
[10:10] K
    But you...
[10:12] K
    You were able to cut even my bullet.
[10:15] K
    You can dodge it, right, Kirito?
[10:18] K
    My job is to take out Dark Wind immediately.
[10:22] K
    If I miss, Kirito will be killed.
[10:24] K
    And after that, Death Gun will kill me.
[10:28] K
    My real life depends on this one shot.
[10:33] K
    Just like back then.
[10:39] K
    Hecate II, please...
[10:42] K
    I'm weak. Lend me your power.
[10:45] K
    Give me the power to stand
    and start walking again!
[11:13] K
    The southwest...
[11:14] K
    This is Dark Wind.
[11:16] K
    Sinon will handle Dark Wind.
[11:23] S
    He's fast.
[11:27] S
    What do I do?
[11:28] S
    Try to predict his movement and lead him,
[11:30] S
    or fire at his feet,
    deliberately missing my first shot,
[11:32] S
    and then finish him when he panics?
[11:38] S
    No...
[11:39] S
    When he has Kirito in his sights,
    Dark Wind will stop.
[11:42] S
    I'll wait until then.
[11:45] S
    I'll endure this.
[11:47] S
    So you need to, as well.
[11:48] S
    Kirito, believe in me!
[12:01] K
    Concentrate...
[12:04] K
    Feel his killer instinct.
[12:07] K
    Just like before.
[12:20] K
    That's right.
[12:22] K
    Last time, I noticed them because
    I felt their killer instinct.
[12:28] K
    What was the name of that
    first man who attacked me?
[12:37] Gu
    Kirito...
[12:39] Gu
    I'll kill you later.
[12:55] Gu
    I'll kill you later.

    Kirito!
[14:16] S
    There he is.
[14:57] S
    It's up to you now, Kirito.
[15:01] K
    You did it, Sinon.
[15:02] K
    I'll take it from here!
[15:31] S
    Kirito!
[15:36] Gi
    It's okay, Mommy!
SIGN    Yui
[15:38] Gi
    No matter how strong his opponent,
    Daddy won't lose.
[15:42] Gi
    Because he's Daddy.
[15:44] A
    Yeah, you're right.
[15:48] Gi
    Turn left at the corner, and go eight meters.
[15:52] Gi
    Kirigaya-kun?
[15:56] A
    Kirito-kun!
[15:57] Gi
    You're Yuuki-san, right?
[15:58] Gi
    I've heard.
[16:00] A
    Has something happened to Ki... Kazuto-kun?
[16:03] Gi
    Don't worry.
[16:04] Gi
    He's in no physical danger.
[16:07] Gi
    But his heart rate started suddenly climbing.
[16:09] A
    His heart rate?
[16:13] A
    What's going on?
[16:16] Gi
    Mommy, look at the PC panel on the wall.
[16:19] Gi
    I'll tune it to MMO Stream's live footage.
SIGN    Bullet of Bullets Final Round
[16:34] A
    That's Kirito-kun.
[16:37] Gi
    That's Kirigaya-kun's avatar?
[16:40] A
    Yeah, he's in combat.
[16:43] A
    That's why his heart rate's elevated.
[16:49] A
    An estoc?
[16:53] A
    That's him!
[16:53] A
    One of the Laughing Coffin leaders
    was really good with an estoc.
[16:57] A
    His name... His name was...
[17:00] A
    Ste... Steven?
[17:03] A
    Did he misspell "Steven"?
[17:05] Gi
    No.
[17:05] Gi
    No, Mommy.
[17:07] Gi
    That's German.
[17:08] Gi
    It's also specialized medical vocabulary.
[17:11] Gi
    It's read "Sterben."
[17:14] A
    Sterben?
[17:17] Gi
    It means "death."
[17:19] Gi
    It's used when a patient passes away at a hospital.
[17:29] A
    Kirito-kun...
[17:36] K
    That's a rare weapon...
[17:40] K
    Actually, I never heard anything about
    metal blades being in GGO.
[17:44] Gu
    Looks like you should have studied more,
     black swordsman.
[17:50] Gu
    You can make it with the gun-blade skill.
[17:52] Gu
    Though the length and weight
    can't be much more than this.
[17:57] K
    Then I'm afraid you wouldn't be able
     to make a blade I'd like.
[18:01] Gu
    You still like blades with high
    strength requirements?
[18:07] Gu
    Then that toy must disappoint you.
[18:13] K
    It isn't that bad.
[18:16] K
    I've always wanted to use something like this.
[18:19] K
    And...
[18:20] K
    A sword's a sword.
[18:22] K
    If I slice through you and deplete
    your HP gauge, I win.
[18:28] Gu
    Bold.
[18:30] Gu
    Can you do that?
[18:32] Gu
    You've breathed too much
    of the real world's rotten air.
[18:36] Gu
    If the old you had seen that weak vorpal strike,
    he'd be disappointed.
[18:43] K
    Maybe...
[18:44] K
    But that goes for you, too.
[18:47] K
    Or do you think you're still
    a member of Laughing Coffin?
[18:55] Gu
    You were able to remember that much?
[18:58] Gu
    Then you understand the difference
    between you and me.
[19:04] Gu
    I'm a real red player,
[19:06] Gu
    but you aren't.
[19:11] Gu
    You simply killed out of fear, to survive.
[19:16] Gu
    You're a coward, who never thought about
[19:20] ---
    what that meant, and tried to forget everything.
[19:25] K
    Maybe.
[19:27] K
    But you aren't a murderer anymore, either!
[19:31] K
    I already know how you killed
    Zexceed and the others.
[19:35] K
    It isn't that black gun's power,
    let alone your own power.
[19:40] Gu
    Then what is it?
[19:42] Gu
    Tell me.
[19:43] K
    You used that optical camouflage
    cape to watch the players
[19:46] ---
    inputting their addresses in the terminals
    at the governor general's office.
[19:51] K
    You have your partners sneak inside their rooms
[19:54] ---
    to inject them with a drug at the right time,
[19:57] K
    making it look like death by heart failure.
[20:00] K
    That's the truth.
[20:02] K
    Internal Affairs has all the SAO players'
    real names and character names.
[20:09] K
    Once they know your old name,
[20:11] K
    they'll know your real name, your address,
    and how you committed all your crimes!
[20:20] K
    End this...
[20:22] K
    Log out and turn yourself in!
[20:24] Gu
    I see.
[20:26] Gu
    You have a fascinating imagination.
[20:28] Gu
    But you aren't quite there.
[20:30] Gu
    You can't stop me.
[20:33] Gu
    Because you can't remember my old name.
[20:40] K
    What?
[20:42] K
    How can you be so sure?
[20:45] Gu
    You've even forgotten the reason why you forgot.
[20:51] Gu
    Listen.
[20:52] Gu
    After that battle ended,
[20:55] Gu
    I was about to give you my name.
[20:59] Gu
    But you...
[21:03] K
    I don't want to know your name,
[21:06] K
    and there's no reason for me to.
[21:07] K
    I'm never going to see you again.
[21:15] Gu
    You don't know my name.
[21:20] Gu
    That's why you can't remember it.
[21:22] Gu
    I'll defeat you here,
[21:23] Gu
    and you'll lie on the ground as I kill the girl,
[21:27] Gu
    and all you'll be able to do is watch!
[21:45] Gu
    This is made of the best metal
    you can get in this game.
[21:52] Gu
    It's supposed to be made of
    a space battleship's armor.

    One moment...
[00:22] K
    I just need one moment.

    If I can break his rush...
[00:26] ---
    Kirito!
[00:39] K
    If only my scope worked...
[00:41] K
    I needed to accept what killing them meant,
[00:45] K
    the weight, and to keep thinking.
[00:48] K
    Doing that is the bare minimum
    of atonement I can do.
[00:58] S
    Right now, Kirito is trying to translate
    his words into action,
[01:02] S
    by stopping the criminal named Death Gun,
[01:06] ---
    who carries the darkness of SAO.
[01:09] S
    He can't do it because he's strong.
[01:12] S
    He does it because he accepts his weakness.

    He worries, suffers,

    We can't have him log out temporarily, can we?
[03:21] A
    No matter what we say here,
    Kirito-kun won't hear us.
[03:25] A
    And the Amusphere will automatically cut off
[03:28] ---

    So touch him for me, too.

    I'll always watch your back and support you.
[04:20] K
    He's right... I refused to hear his name!
[04:23] K
    I never wanted to think of him again.
[04:27] K
    But...
[04:28] K
    That was actually impossible!
[04:33] K
    I didn't forget.

    I pretended to forget!

    It isn't over yet...

    Yeah.
[08:38] K
    We need to end the tournament.
[08:42] S
    Yeah,
[08:43] ---
    we do.
[08:46] K
    With Death Gun gone,
[08:48] K
    his partner that was after you should have left.
[08:52] K
    So if you log out, you should be safe.
[08:56] K
    But it would be safest to call the police, anyway.
[08:59] S
    But when I call 110, what should I tell them?
[09:03] K
    That's true...
[09:06] K
    My employer is a government employee,
    so we can ask him to help.
[09:11] K
    But I can't ask for your name and address here.
[09:17] S
    It's fine.
[09:18] S
    I'll tell you.
[09:20] K
    B-But...
[09:23] S
    My name is Asada Shino.
[09:26] S
    My address...
[09:30] K
    I'm surprised.
[09:32] K
    That's right near where I'm diving.
[09:34] S
    Really?
[09:36] K
    After I log out, want me to go there?
[09:41] S
    You wi—
[09:44] S
    No, I'm fine.
[09:46] S
    There's a friend near me I trust.
[09:49] K
    Then when I log out, I'll contact my employer
    and have him send the police.
[09:55] S
    Okay.
[09:57] S
    Anyway, are you just going to have me
    reveal my personal info, and that's it?
[10:03] K
    Oh, sorry...
[10:04] K
    My name is Kirigaya Kazuto.
[10:07] S
    Kirigaya Kazuto...
[10:09] ---
    So, "Kirito."
[10:11] S
    That's a pretty obvious name.
[10:13] K
    I d-don't want to hear that from you.
[10:15] S
    Yeah...
[10:22] K
    Now, if we're going to log out,
[10:25] K
    we need to end BoB.
[10:28] K
    What do you want to do, Sinon?
[10:29] K
    Want to have another duel like yesterday?
[10:35] S
    You're a mess.
[10:38] S
    If I beat you here, I couldn't
    take pride in it at all.
[10:42] S
    We can fight in the next BoB tournament.
[10:48] S
    Now, let's go end this.
[10:52] K
    But how?
[10:54] K
    Unless one of us loses all their
    HP, there's no winner, right?
[10:58] S
    They say the first BoB had two winners.
[11:03] S
    Because the person who was going
    to win lowered their guard,
[11:06] ---
    and got hit by a present grenade.
[11:09] K
    A present grenade? What's that?
SIGN    Third Bullet of Bullets
[12:08] K
    There were two victims of Death Gun, after all.

    Asada-san, it's me.
[13:50] S

    You're finally the best gunner in GGO.

    But I knew you would be someday...

[14:24] Gu
    Um...

[14:28] Gu
    You told me to wait, didn't you?

[14:35] Gu
    You told me that if I waited,
    you'd be mine someday, right?

    So... So I...

    Wh-What's gotten into you?

    You don't have to rely on him.

    I'll protect you forever, okay?

[16:33] Gu
    That's right.
[16:34] Gu
    I'm one of Death Gun's hands.

    But until the last BoB,

    I was controlling Sterben.
[16:47] Gu
    But today, I wanted to do

    Was there anyone better to be the sacrifice

    proving that Death Gun was
    the strongest in GGO...
[18:11] ---
    No, in all the VRMMOs?

    We can be reborn there.

    Be husband and wife, and live together!

[19:14] Gu
    You're really amazing.
[19:16] Gu
    I told you that you have real power.

[00:20] Gu
    Asada-san! Asada-san!
[00:22] Gu
    Asada-san! Asada-san! Asada-san!
[00:29] K
    Run, Sinon!
[00:35] S
    Kirito...
[00:40] Gu
    What the hell are you doing?
[00:44] Gu
    What... What are you doing?!
[00:48] Gu
    Stay away...
[00:49] Gu
    Stay away from my Asada-san!
[00:57] S
    Kirito!
[01:18] S
    Kirito!
[01:20] K
    He got me.
[01:22] K
    I had no idea that was a syringe...
[01:25] S
    Where?
[01:26] S
    Where did he inject you?
[01:31] S
    Don't die...
[01:33] S
    Don't die like this!
[02:01] S
    Hey, um...
[02:04] S
    What is this thing that's stuck to you?
[02:11] K
    Did he inject me here?
[02:15] S
    It looks that way.
[02:17] S
    What is this?
[02:19] K
    Um...
[02:20] K
    I think it's an electrode for a heart monitor.
[02:26] K
    Jeez, that scared me...
[02:29] S
    That's my line!
[02:32] S
    I thought you were going to die.
[02:35] K
    I... I am going to die.
[02:47] K
    Is he okay?
[02:56] S
    It looks like he is.
[03:08] S
    Anyway, thanks for coming.
[03:12] K
    No, in the end, I wasn't able to do anything.
[03:15] K
    And I'm sorry I'm late.
[03:21] ---
    Are you hurt?
SIGN    One Little Step
[04:03] S
    Don't call me here and keep me waiting.
[04:08] Gi
    Asada-san, you've been a little
    cocky lately, haven't you?
[04:12] Gi
    Yeah, it's a bit much, isn't it?
[04:22] Gi
    It's fine.
[04:23] Gi
    We're friends.
[04:25] Gi
    But of course, if we're in trouble,
    you'll help us, right?
[04:32] Gi
    For now, 20,000 yen will be enough.
[04:34] Gi
    Lend it to me.
[04:44] S
    I told you before.
[04:46] S
    I'm not lending you any money.
[04:49] Gi
    I seriously did get it from my brother today.
[04:53] S
    Do what you want.
[05:02] Gi
    He told me to make sure I never
    pointed it at anyone...
[05:06] Gi
    But you're fine, aren't you?
[05:08] Gi
    You're used to it.
[05:11] Gi
    Now cry.
[05:14] Gi
    Kneel and apologize!
[05:30] Gi
    What's with this thing?
[05:38] Gi
    Ow!
[05:43] S
    A Government 1911, huh?
[05:46] S
    Your brother has good taste.
[05:48] S
    Not my preference.
[05:51] S
    Most guns require you
    to take the safety off first.
[06:10] Gi
    C-Crap...
[06:12] S
    It's dangerous to point it at anyone.
[06:17] S
    Here you go.
[06:21] Gi
    Are you okay?
[06:22] Gi
    Endou?
[06:27] S
    Bye.
[06:40] S
    This is my first step...
[06:58] Gi
    Asada-san!
[07:00] Gi
    Who's that?
[07:02] Gi
    Is that your boyfriend?
[07:10] S
    Hey!
[07:11] S
    I told you we could meet,
[07:13] ---
    but what are you doing somewhere so obvious?
[07:16] K
    Yo.
[07:18] K
    Hey there, Sinon.
[07:25] K
    After what happened, Shinkawa Kyouji and
    his brother, Shouichi, were arrested.
[07:30] K
    Shouichi's testimony made the existence
    of another conspirator clear.
[07:34] K
    The third Death Gun, Kanamoto Atsushi,
    is still on the run,
[07:38] K
    but Kikuoka says it's only a matter
    of time until he's caught.
[07:43] K
    Death Gun began when Shouichi purchased a cape,
[07:46] ---
    which could make you invisible,
    in a real-money trade.
[07:51] K
    Using that cape and binoculars,
[07:53] ---
    Shouichi began to fanatically collect
    other players' information.
[07:58] K
    Meanwhile, his brother, Kyouji, was having
    trouble leveling his character.
[08:04] Gu
    The idea that agility is the only stat
    that matters is only an illusion.
[08:10] K
    Spiegel was an AGI type,
[08:11] ---
    and he hated Zexceed for previously saying
[08:14] ---
    that AGI was the most important stat,
    while he shifted to a STR/VIT-based build.
[08:19] K
    When Shouichi heard this, he told Kyouji
    Zexceed's real name and address,
[08:25] K
    and the two of them discussed
    how best to kill him.
[08:28] K
    Even so, they say that at first they weren't serious.
[08:32] K
    But as they debated for days and days,
    the plan began to seem increasingly realistic.
SIGN    No Entry
    
    Door Must Remain Closed
    At All Times
[08:38] K
    At last, they settled on stealing a dangerous drug
[08:41] ---
    and a master electronic key,
    used for opening doors in emergencies,
[08:44] ---
    from their dad's hospital.
[08:48] K
    They carefully researched their targets,
[08:51] ---
    focusing on people who lived alone,
    in places with weak security.
[08:55] K
    Shouichi used this master code to enter
    the house of Zexceed, AKA Shigemura.
[09:02] K
    They settled on a time to kill Shigemura's character.
[09:06] K
    Kyouji logged in, using his brother's
    character, "Sterben."
[09:09] K
    He called himself "Death Gun,"
    and attacked Zexceed with a gun.
[09:13] K
    The second victim, Lightly Salted Tarako,
    was killed in a near-identical manner.
[09:18] K
    But GGO players didn't get scared of Death Gun.
[09:22] K
    They treated it as a joke.
[09:25] K
    The perpetrators became infuriated,
[09:27] ---
    and decided to kill three different
    players in the BoB tournament.
[09:32] K
    Their targets were players who met the
    same conditions as the other murders,
[09:35] K
    Pale Rider, Garrett, and Sinon.
[09:47] K
    But there was a big problem
    with killing multiple people.
[09:51] Ki
    That's right.
[09:52] Ki
    A partner needed to be at the target's house
[09:56] ---
    when the killing took place.
[09:58] K
    And that's when a third partner,
    Kanamoto, was brought in.
[10:04] Ki
    You could say Kanamoto was
    an old friend of Shouichi's.
[10:08] Ki
    In SAO, they were members of the same guild.
[10:11] Ki
    His character name was Johnny Black.
[10:14] Ki
    Do you remember him?
[10:16] K
    A poison knife user who paired with Zaza.
[10:22] Ki
    Kanamoto's house was near Pale Rider's
    and Garrett's, so he took them.
[10:27] Ki
    Kyouji took Sinon.
[10:30] Ki
    Until now, Shouichi had been doing the killings,
[10:33] Ki
    but this time, Kyouji insisted.
[10:37] S
    Um...
[10:38] S
    Did you hear that from Shinkawa-kun...
    I mean, from Kyouji-kun?
[10:44] Ki
    No, this is based on his brother's testimony.
[10:48] Ki
    Kyouji is keeping silent.
[10:50] S
    Oh...
[10:53] Ki
    By the way, about Shinkawa Shouichi.
[10:56] Ki
    Since he was little, he's had a weak constitution.
[10:59] Ki
    His father gave up on him early,
[11:01] Ki
    and decided that his younger brother, Kyouji,
    would take over the hospital.
[11:05] Gu
    There's no problem, instructor!
[11:09] S
    Even so, it seems like the
    two of them got along well.
[11:13] S
    But Shouichi got into MMORPGs.
[11:16] S
    And in 2022, he became a prisoner
    of Sword Art Online.
[11:22] S
    When Shouichi came back,
    Kyouji was the one person he told...
[11:25] S
    About how he'd been feared as
    a real murderer in that world.
[11:31] S
    To Kyouji, his brother seemed like a hero.
[11:35] S
    Shouichi says that everything
    about the Death Gun plan,
[11:40] ---
    including the murders, was a game.
[11:42] S
    That there was no difference
    between it and how, in SAO,
[11:46] ---
    they'd research their targets,
    ready their equipment, and carry out attacks.
[11:49] K
    The dark side of virtual MMOs, maybe.
[11:54] K
    Reality starts to seem less real.
[11:57] K
    As for you...
[11:59] K
    What about your reality?
[12:02] K
    It's true that there are things I left in that world.
[12:05] K
    And that, because of it,
    there's less of me here now...
[12:10] ---
    I think.
[12:11] Ki
    Do you ever think you want to go back?
[12:13] K
    Don't ask that. It's in bad taste.
[12:16] S
    But Kirito...
[12:18] S
    What you just said is different
    than what you said earlier.
[12:22] S
    You said there was no such
    thing as a virtual world.
[12:25] S
    That wherever you are is reality.
[12:28] S
    Right now, the world I'm in...
[12:31] S
    This world is my only reality.
[12:35] S
    Even if this were a virtual world,
     I think it would still be reality to me.
[12:42] K
    I see...
[12:44] K
    You're right.
[12:46] K
    What Sinon just said
[12:48] ---
    may be the one truth of any
    worth in this whole thing.
[12:51] S
    Don't tease me!
[12:55] Ki
    You're quite right.
[12:58] Ki
    At the moment, that's all I know.
[13:01] Ki
    Any questions?
[13:03] S
    Well...
[13:05] ---
    What's going to happen to Kyouji-kun?
[13:10] Ki
    From the way they act and what they say,
[13:12] Ki
    they're likely to be sent to a medical reformatory.
[13:16] Ki
    Those two don't actually have a "reality."
[13:20] S
    No, I don't think that's true.
[13:23] S
    I don't know anything about his brother,
[13:27] S
    but to Kyouji-kun,
    reality was inside Gun Gale Online.
[13:32] S
    He abandoned everything
[13:36] ---
    in this world, and decided
    that GGO was his reality.
[13:41] S
    He did hours of painful and boring
    grinding for experience every day,
[13:44] ---
    trying to be the best.
[13:47] S
    I'm sure he was under a ton of stress.
[13:50] Ki
    Stress in a game?
[13:52] Ki
    But isn't that confusion of reality
     what a game is supposed to accomplish?
[13:55] S
    Yes, I think Kyouji-kun got this
    world and that one mixed up.
[14:02] Ki
    But why?
[14:04] S
    I don't know that.
[14:08] S
    Kirito, do you?
[14:12] K
    Because he wanted to be stronger.
[14:14] S
    Yes, I was that way.
[14:18] S
    Maybe every virtual MMO
    player is the same way.
[14:22] S
    They just want to be stronger.
[14:26] S
    Kikuoka-san, I'm going to see him.
[14:30] S
    I'd like to see him and tell him
    what I've thought so far,
[14:34] S
    and what I think now.
[14:37] Ki
    You're a strong person.
[14:40] Ki
    Please do.
[14:43] Ki
    When he's allowed to have visitors,
    I'll send you an e-mail message.
[14:47] Ki
    I'm sorry, but I have to go.
[14:50] K
    Yeah, sorry to take up your time.
[14:53] S
    Um, thank you.
[14:55] Ki
    No, it was my fault that you two were in danger.
[15:00] Ki
    I need to do at least this much.
[15:03] Ki
    Oh, right, Kirito-kun...
[15:05] Ki
    Death Gun...
[15:06] ---
    No, Red-eyed Zaza, AKA Shinkawa Shouichi,
    gave me a message for you.
[15:12] Ki
    Of course, you have no responsibility to hear it.
[15:14] Ki
    What will you do?
[15:18] K
    I'll hear it.
[15:20] Ki
    Okay, then.
[15:23] Ki
    "This isn't the end.
[15:25] Ki
    You don't have the power to end it.
[15:28] Ki
    You will be made to realize this soon.
[15:30] Ki
    It's show time."
[15:33] Ki
    That is all.
[15:47] K
    Um, Sinon?
[15:50] S
    What?
[15:52] K
    Are you free after this?
[15:55] S
    I don't really have any plans...
[16:05] S
    Is this where you wanted to take me?
[16:08] K
    Yeah.
[16:09] K
    I wanted to introduce you to someone.
[16:12] L
    You're late.
[16:14] L
    While I was waiting, I ate two pieces of apple pie.
[16:18] L
    If I get fat, it's your fault.
[16:20] K
    Why?
[16:24] A
    Introduce me, Kirito-kun.
[16:27] K
    O-Oh, right...
[16:29] K
    This is the third champion of Gun Gale Online,
    Sinon, AKA Asada Shino-san.
[16:34] S
    S-Stop it.
[16:39] K
    And these are my friends from SAO.
[16:42] K
    Lisbeth, AKA Shinozaki Rika, the rip-off blacksmith.
[16:46] L
    What did you say?
[16:49] K
    And that's the berserk healer,
    Asuna, AKA Yuuki Asuna.
[16:53] A
    Th-That's mean...
[16:56] L
    Ow...
[16:57] S
    Anyway, take a seat.
[17:01] S
    Sterben... It wasn't "Steven," was it?
[17:05] S
    A word used by hospitals for "death."
[17:08] S
    I wonder what he was thinking
    when he named himself that.
[17:11] A
    It's better not to look for more meaning
    than there is in a name.
[17:16] A
    You'll lose sight of a lot more than you notice.
[17:19] L
    Ooh, pretty smart.
[17:21] L
    Coming from someone who uses their
    real name for their character,
[17:23] ---
    it sounds persuasive...
[17:25] ---
    Jeez!
[17:26] A
    Don't say that!
[17:28] L
    Sorry, sorry!
[17:35] L
    Anyway, I'm happy to meet a female
    VRMMO player in real life.
[17:41] A
    Yeah.
[17:42] A
    Please be our friend, Asada-san.
[17:54] A
    Listen, Asada-san...
[17:56] A
    Sinon-san.
[17:57] A
    There's a reason we asked you here today.
[18:01] S
    A reason?
[18:02] K
    Sinon, I need to apologize to you first.
[18:08] K
    I told Asuna and Liz about what
    happened to you long ago.
[18:14] K
    I needed their help.
[18:18] A
    Sinon-san, we actually went to the town
     where you used to live.
[18:25] S
    Why did you...
[18:31] K
    Because I thought you hadn't met
    the person you needed to meet,
[18:35] K
    or heard the words you needed to hear.
[18:38] K
    It may hurt you,
[18:41] K
    but I couldn't just ignore you.
[18:44] S
    The person I needed to meet?
[18:47] S
    The words I needed to hear?
[19:09] K
    Um, who are you?
[19:13] Gi
    Hello.
[19:15] Gi
    You're Asada Shino-san, right?
[19:18] Gi
    My name is Oosawa Sachie.
[19:21] Gi
    This is Mizue. She's four.
[19:25] Gi
    Before she was born, I worked at the post office.
[19:39] Gi
    I'm sorry.
[19:41] Gi
    I'm sorry,
[19:43] ---
    Shino-san.
[19:44] Gi
    I should have come to see you earlier.
[19:50] Gi
    I never apologized. Or thanked you.
[19:59] Gi
    When it happened, I was pregnant with her.
[20:04] Gi
    So, Shino-san, you not only saved my life,
[20:08] Gi
    but hers, as well.
[20:11] Gi
    Thank you...
[20:13] ---
    Thank you so much. Thank you.
[20:17] S
    Saved your life?
[20:20] K
    Sinon,
[20:22] ---
    you've always blamed yourself.
[20:26] K
    You've tried to punish yourself.
[20:29] K
    I won't say that that's wrong.
[20:34] K
    But at the same time,
[20:37] ---
    you have the right to think
    about the lives you saved.
[20:41] K
    You have the right to think about
    them and forgive yourself.
[20:46] K
    I want you...
[20:48] K
    I want...

[00:03] S
    When I was in fifth grade,
[00:06] S
    I killed a man with a gun.
[00:10] Gu
    Hey, you! Come here, and fill the bag!
[00:16] Gu
    Hurry, or I'll shoot another person!
[00:18] Gu
    I'll shoot!
[00:33] Gu
    You little...
[00:34] Gu
    Give that back. Give that back!
[00:36] Gu
    You stupid kid!
[01:09] S
    I pulled the trigger three times.
[01:27] S
    Ever since the incident at the post office,
[01:29] S
    just seeing a picture or a video of a gun
[01:32] S
    was enough to send me into
    a PTSD-induced panic attack.
[01:48] S
    No drugs... No counseling
[01:51] S
    could cure my terror.
[02:14] S
    I look terrible...
[03:51] S
    Even here, in a Tokyo school,
    far away from my home,
[03:56] S
    my symptoms barely improved.
[04:00] Gi
    Bang.
[04:01] S
    I don't regret pulling the trigger,
    to protect my mother.
[04:07] S
    But I'm not strong enough to say
    that that was the best choice.
[04:13] S
    It was my only friend in Tokyo
[04:17] S
    that invited me to Gun Gale Online.
[04:21] S
    His name is Shinkawa Kyouji.
[04:23] Gu
    You're amazing, Asada-san.
[04:25] S
    That isn't true!
[04:27] S
    In the last qualifier, didn't you
    reach the semifinals?
[04:32] Gu
    No, it's no good.
[04:33] Gu
    Agility-types can't go much further
    without a really amazing gun.
[04:39] Gu
    I spent my status points wrong...
[04:40] S
    Then you aren't entering the next BoB?
[04:45] Gu
    Yeah, there's no point.
[04:49] S
    Oh, sorry...
[04:50] S
    I've got to go.
[04:55] S
    Thanks for the tea.
[04:57] S
    And, seriously, thanks for helping me.
[05:01] S
    You were really cool.
[05:03] Gu
    I wish I could always protect you.
[05:07] Gu
    Um, listen...
[05:09] Gu
    Should I walk you home from school?
[05:14] S
    I'm all right.
[05:15] S
    I need to become strong.
[05:19] S
    Back then, it was all I could
    do to think about myself,
[05:23] ---
    and I didn't realize how Kyouji-kun really felt.
[05:32] S
    In GGO, I became the sniper Sinon,
[05:36] S
    and all I wanted was to fight the strong.
[05:47] S
    Next!
[06:24] S
    He's strong enough to smile on the battlefield.
[06:28] S
    I'll kill him.
[06:29] S
    And I, too...
[07:04] S
    The stronger Sinon gets,
    the stronger the real me will get.
[07:10] S
    I believe that, and I'll keep
    fighting with the Hecate II.
[07:18] S
    The end.
[07:48] K
    Yes, it's my first time playing.
[07:51] K
    I'm looking for somewhere to get cheap weapons,
[07:54] K
    and a place called the governor general's office.
[08:00] S
    The day of the qualifiers for the third
    Bullet of Bullets tournament,
[08:03] S
    I met a player named Kirito.
[08:09] S
    He made me kind of mad,
    pretending to be a girl,
[08:12] S
    and waving a sword around,
    in a game about guns.
[08:16] S
    No way.
[08:18] S
    You're a guy?
[08:19] S
    With that avatar?!
[08:28] S
    You...
[08:32] S
    As he fought, he carried something
    heavy with him, too.
[08:38] S
    Just like me.
[09:07] S
    I'll hit him, no matter what.
[09:14] S
    Does he think he can dodge
    my bullet whenever he wants?
[09:23] S
    He isn't interested in dodging it?
[09:30] S
    Screw...
[09:31] S
    S-Screw you!
[10:00] S
    Why?
[10:02] S
    Does a fight with me not matter? Is that it?
[10:06] K
    My only goal is to make it to the
    main tournament tomorrow.
[10:11] K
    I have no more reason to fight.
[10:13] K
    Then shoot yourself with that gun!
[10:16] K
    "This is just a single match, in a virtual game."
[10:19] K
    I know that's what you think!
[10:22] K
    But don't assume I think the same way!
[10:31] K
    Sinon, would you give me a chance
    to make it up to you?
[10:35] K
    Fight me once more.
[11:02] K
    Okay, here I go.
[11:40] S
    No!
[11:41] S
    That's impossible!
[11:57] S
    I was aiming for your left leg...
[12:00] S
    How could you predict where I was firing?
[12:04] K
    I could see your eyes on the
    other side of the scope.
[12:09] S
    He predicted the bullet's path on his own?
[12:12] S
    He's strong.
[12:14] S
    That strength goes beyond a virtual game!
[12:19] S
    If you're that strong, what are you so afraid of?
[12:25] K
    This isn't strength.
[12:27] K
    It's only skill.
[12:29] K
    You're lying... You're lying.
[12:31] K
    Technique isn't enough to cut through
    a bullet from the Hecate.
[12:35] K
    You must know that.
[12:37] K
    How can I become strong like that?
[12:40] K
    I...
[12:42] K
    I'm trying to learn that.
[12:45] K
    If...
[12:46] K
    If that bullet could also kill a
    player in the real world...
[12:53] K
    And if you didn't shoot them,
[12:55] K
    you or someone you loved would be killed...
[12:59] K
    Could you still pull the trigger?
[13:10] S
    Death Gun's gun shattered my
    vision of Sinon's strength.
[13:18] S
    A Black Star Type 54...
[13:31] S
    That gun...
[13:33] S
    What...
[13:35] S
    What is it doing here now?
[13:47] S
    Preparations? For what?
[13:51] K
    Death Gun's partner is in your room right now,
[13:55] K
    watching a video of the tournament
    and waiting for you to be shot.
[14:02] K
    It's possible, anyway.
[14:09] S
    No...
[14:10] S
    No! I can't...
[14:29] K
    Until Death Gun shoots you,
    the intruder can't do anything to you.
[14:35] K
    That's the rule they set for themselves.
[14:38] K
    But if you automatically log out and
    see his face, you'll be in danger.
[14:55] S
    Tell me what to do.
[14:58] K
    Defeat Death Gun.
[15:04] S
    Hecate II, please...
[15:07] S
    I'm weak. Lend me your power.
[15:09] S
    Give me the power to stand
    and start walking again!
[15:17] K
    Concentrate...
[15:19] K
    Feel his killer instinct.
[15:48] S
    Kirito!
[16:05] S
    There he is.
[16:55] K
    He's strong.
[16:57] K
    One moment...
[16:58] K
    I just need one moment.
[17:00] K
    If I can break his rush...
[17:03] S
    Right now, Kirito is trying to translate
    his words into action,
[17:07] S
    by stopping the criminal named Death Gun,
[17:09] S
    who carries the darkness of SAO.
[17:11] S
    He can't do it because he's strong.
[17:14] S
    He does it because he accepts his weakness.
[17:17] S
    He worries, suffers,
[17:21] S
    and tries to move forward anyway!
[17:28] S
    Is there anything I can do?
[17:39] S
    Kirito!
[17:46] S
    This attack via prediction line is an illusion
[17:51] S
    containing all of Sinon's experience,
    insight, and fighting spirit.
[17:57] S
    I can't waste this last attack...
    This phantom bullet!
[19:07] Gu
    It isn't over yet...
[19:11] Gu
    I won't let it end until they find out, and...
[19:24] K
    No, it's over, Zaza.
[19:27] K
    We'll find your partner.
[19:29] K
    Laughing Coffin's murders are over.
[20:06] K
    It's over...
[20:07] S
    Yeah.
[20:12] S
    My name is Asada Shino.
[20:17] K
    We need to end the tournament.
[20:21] S
    Yeah, we do.
[20:43] Gu
    Asada-san...
[20:46] S
    I thought that if I became
    strong in Gun Gale Online,
[20:49] S
    my real self's weakness would also disappear.
[20:54] Gu
    Asada-san... Asada-san!
    Asada-san! Asada-san!
[20:58] Gu
    Asada-san! Asada-san! Asada-san!
[21:02] S
    But I wrong.
[21:05] K
    Run, Sinon!
[21:16] Gi
    C-Crap...
[21:17] S
    Sinon and Shino and are both me.
[21:30] S
    It'll take a long time before
    I'm ready to face those memories.
[21:43] S
    But even so...
[21:45] S
    Little by little,
[21:46] S
    I need to keep moving forward.
[21:50] S
    It's okay.
[21:55] S
    Because this world is really so kind...
[22:01] S
    And so warm.

SIGN    Tokyo
[00:05] Gi
    How are you all doing?
[00:08] Su
    Were you up late again, Brother?
[00:11] K
    Homework for school, mechatronics.
[00:14] Su
    Mechatron...
[00:18] Su
    Brother.
[00:20] Su
    Look at this.
[00:22] K
    What?
[00:23] K
    Someone found the Holy
    Sword Excaliber in ALO?!
[00:28] K
    Someone finally got it, huh?
[00:31] Su
    Read it carefully... It's only
    been found. That's all.
[00:34] Su
    No one actually has it yet.
[00:38] K
    What? Don't scare me like that.
[00:43] K
    Several months ago,
[00:44] K
    on an Arun plateau, Leafa and I were
    swallowed by a giant worm monster,
[00:50] K
    and dropped into the underground
    world known as "Jötunheimr."
[00:53] K
    There, we saw a Tyrant-class humanoid
    with four arms attacking a Tyrant
[00:57] ---
    that looked like a combination
    of an elephant and a jellyfish.
[01:03] K
    Leafa asked me to save the one
    that was being bullied,
[01:07] K
    so I baited the four-armed Tyrant away,
    and lured it into a lake,
[01:10] K
    where the elephant-jellyfish Tyrant finished it.
[01:14] K
    Leafa named the jellyfish thing "Tonkii,"
[01:18] K
    and it grew eight wings, and carried us
    to the path to the upper world.
[01:28] K
    On our way there, we saw a huge labyrinth
[01:31] ---
    hanging from beneath the World Tree,
[01:35] K
    and a golden long sword that glistened at its base,
[01:44] K
    Excaliber.
[01:47] K
    I was planning to get it at some point, but...
[01:51] Su
    You've been spending all your
    time on the New Aincrad.
[01:54] K
    But how did they find it?
[01:57] K
    Players can't fly in Jötunheimr.
[02:00] K
    And it's high enough that, unless you fly,
[02:02] ---
    you can't see its location.
[02:04] Su
    Maybe someone succeeded in
    saving one of Tonkii's friends,
[02:08] Su
    and triggered the quest flag like we did.
[02:11] K
    That'd make sense.
[02:13] K
    That creepy...
[02:17] K
    No, "unique" appearance that that
    Tyrant has means only a weirdo...
[02:22] K
    I mean, a very nice person
[02:25] K
    would save it. I'm surprised
    you aren't the only one.
[02:27] Su
    He isn't creepy.
[02:29] Su
    He's cute.
[02:31] Su
    But that means it may be only a matter of time
[02:34] ---
    until someone clears the dungeon
     and gets the sword.
[02:38] K
    You're right...
[02:41] Su
    What will you do, Brother?
[02:46] K
    Sugu, there's more to a VRMMO
    than looking for rare items.
[02:53] K
    Yeah.
[02:54] K
    Even if the weapon's stats make you stronger...
[02:57] K
    But I think Tonkii wanted us to find it,
    and that's why he showed it to us.
[03:02] K
    I bet, in his heart, he's hoping
    we can clear the dungeon.
[03:08] K
    You know... Tonkii's our friend, right?
[03:13] Su
    You were just saying he was creepy.
[03:17] K
    So, Sugu, are you free today?
[03:21] Su
    Well, my club's off for the rest of the year.
[03:23] K
    Okay!
[03:24] K
    Up to seven people can ride Tonkii, right?
[03:28] K
    Which means you, me, Asuna,
    Klein, Liz, and Silica...
[03:34] K
    That leaves one.
[03:36] K
    Agil has his shop to look after,
[03:38] K
    and we can't rely on Chrysheight.
[03:40] K
    Recon's in Sylph territory.
[03:43] K
    I know!
[03:44] K
    Let's ask Sinon-san!
[03:46] K
    Great!
[03:47] Su
    I'll contact everyone.
[03:51] Su
    You talk to Asuna-san.
[03:53] K
    Sure.
[03:59] A
    I want to see Kirito-kun once more
    before I have to return to Kyoto.
[04:09] A
    Hello? Kirito-kun?
[04:11] K
    Good morning, Asuna.
[04:12] K
    Do you have a moment?
[04:14] K
    This afternoon, I'm trying to do a quest,
    with everyone, in ALO.
[04:20] A
    I'm free all day today.
[04:22] K
    Okay.
[04:23] K
    I'll send you a message with the
    time and place we're meeting.

    Okay!
SIGN    The Queen of the Lake
[06:12] Sl
    Are you already on break
    for New Year's, Klein-san?
[06:15] Kl
    Yeah, since yesterday.
[06:17] Kl
    Even if I wanted to work, at this
    time of year, nothing comes in.
[06:21] Kl
    The CEO keeps bragging about how great we are
[06:25] ---
    to have a whole week off for New Year's.
[06:29] Kl
    Hey, Kirito...
[06:30] Kl
    If we do get Excaliber today,
[06:33] Kl
    help me get the Spirit Blade Kanedzuchi.
[06:39] K
    That dungeon's so freaking hot, though.
[06:41] Kl
    Sure, but Jötunheimr is so freaking cold!
[06:46] S
    Then, I know what I want...
[06:48] S
    The Light Bow Shekinah.
[06:50] K
    You've had your character for two weeks,
[06:52] ---
    and you already want a legendary weapon.
[06:55] S
    The bow Liz made me is wonderful,
[06:58] S
    but I'd like a bit more range.
[07:00] L
    Listen...
[07:01] L
    In this world, bows have more range than
    spears, but less range than magic.
[07:06] L
    You're the only one who's trying to hit the
    target from a hundred meters away.
[07:11] S
    Honestly, I'd like to double that.
[07:18] Su
    We're here!
[07:20] A
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[07:22] Si
    Welcome back!
[07:23] Kl
    I've been waiting!
[07:26] Y
    While we were out shopping,
    we did some information-gathering.
[07:30] Y
    It doesn't look like any players, or parties,
[07:33] ---
    have made it to that mid-air dungeon, Daddy.
[07:37] K
    Then how did they find Excaliber's location?
[07:41] Y
    It seems someone found a different quest
[07:45] ---
    than the one we found with Tonkii.
[07:48] Y
    And as a reward, an NPC showed Excaliber to them.
[07:54] A
    And evidently, it isn't a very peaceful quest, either.
[07:59] A
    It wasn't a fetch or an escort quest.
[08:01] ---
    It was a slaughter-type, in which you try to kill
    more than a certain number of monsters.
[08:05] A
    And so, everyone in Jötunheimr is trying
    to kill as many monsters as they can.
[08:10] K
    That isn't very peaceful, no.
[08:13] Kl
    But isn't that weird?
[08:16] Kl
    The Holy Sword Excaliber
[08:18] ---
    is sealed at the bottom of a mid-air
    dungeon swarming with Tyrants.
[08:24] Kl
    So why is an NPC revealing it as a quest reward?
[08:29] Sl
    That's true.
[08:32] Sl
    If the NPC just took them to the
    dungeon, I'd understand...
[08:39] S
    Well, we'll know when we get there.
[08:43] L
    Okay!
[08:44] L
    All weapons are fully restored!
[09:00] Kl
    Our party is still a bunch of muscle-heads, though.
[09:04] L
    Then raise your magic skills.
[09:08] Kl
    No way.
[09:09] Kl
    A samurai never selects any magic skills.
[09:13] Kl
    It isn't allowed.
[09:14] L
    Listen...
[09:15] L
    In RPGs, the samurai has been
[09:18] ---
    a "warrior plus black magic" class for a long time.
[09:22] Kl
    I'd rather snap my katana and quit
    being a samurai than use magic.
[09:26] Sl
    But earlier, you were using
    a flame Sword Skill, weren't you?
[09:31] Sl
    I think that was half-magic.
[09:34] Kl
    Seriously?
[09:36] Y
    Yes, Silica-san is correct.
[09:39] Y
    In the May update, Sword Skills
    were introduced into ALO,
[09:44] Y
    and high-level skills are also divided by magic
    classes of earth, water, fire, wind, dark,
[09:49] ---
    and holy, in addition to physical...
[09:53] Kl
    Is that right?
[09:55] L
    So, weren't you going to snap your
    sword, rather than use magic?
[10:01] Kl
    Kirito...
[10:02] K
    To perform a Sword Skill,
    you don't say any incantations.
[10:05] K
    Let's say it doesn't count.
[10:07] L
    Oh, fine.
[10:12] K
    Thanks for coming so quickly, everyone.
[10:17] K
    Somehow, I'll find a way to express my gratitude.
[10:21] K
    Let's do this, then!
[10:23] All
    Yeah!
[10:29] L
    How many steps are there here?
[10:34] A
    I think it's maybe about the size
    of an entire dungeon floor in New Aincrad...
[10:39] K
    Listen, it takes two hours to reach
    Jötunheimr by the normal route,
[10:45] K
    and this takes five minutes.
[10:47] K
    Don't complain.
[10:49] ---
    Give thanks with every step you descend, everyone.
[10:53] S
    You're bragging like you
     were the one who made it.
[10:56] K
    Thanks for pointing that out—
[11:00] S
    Hey!
[11:04] S
    Next time you try that, I'll shove
    a fire arrow up your nostril.
[11:11] Kl
    You aren't afraid of anything, man.
[11:19] Kl
    It's so cold!
[11:28] S
    Wow.
[11:41] Kl
    Kirito!
[11:45] A
    Ous. Sharl. Raise. Wind. Hard. Halca. Storms.
[11:54] A
    Okay.
[11:55] A
    I applied some cold-resistance magic to you.
[12:12] Su
    Tonkii-san!
[12:20] K
    It's fine.
[12:22] K
    He may not look it, but he's an herbivore.
[12:25] Su
    But when we brought him
    some fish from the surface,
[12:28] ---
    he gulped them in a single bite.
[12:34] K
    He's saying to get on.
[12:37] Kl
    But...
[12:39] Kl
    My grandpa's dying words were to never
    ride American cars or flying elephants.
[12:44] Kl
    At the Dicey Café, you just gave me dried
    persimmons you said your grandpa made.
[12:49] Kl
    They were good, so give me some more.
[12:54] L
    Okay, there!
[12:58] K
    Thanks, Tonkii.
[13:04] Su
    All right!
[13:06] Su
    Tonkii, take us to the dungeon entrance!
[13:21] L
    Hey, what happens if you fall?
[13:26] Su
    I'm sure the guy over there,
    who once tried to climb
[13:30] ---
    to Aincrad's next level via the outer pillars
    and fell, will find out for us someday.
[13:34] K
    I think a feline would be better
    at falling from high places.
[13:51] K
    Yahoo!
[14:04] Su
    Brother! Look at that!
[14:13] A
    What's going on down there?
[14:17] A
    Did someone tame that humanoid Tyrant?
[14:19] Sl
    That's impossible!
[14:21] Sl
    The success rate for taming a Tyrant is zero percent,
[14:25] Sl
    even for a Cait Sith with a full boost
    and special equipment!
[14:30] Kl
    So they're... What?
[14:31] Kl
    Taking advantage of it?
[14:36] Kl
    When the four-armed thing
     is fighting the elephant-jellyfish,
[14:39] Kl
    they're hitting it, too.
[14:41] S
    But is controlling a monster's aggro that easy?
[15:07] K
    Why aren't they starting combat
    with the humanoid Tyrant?
[15:11] K
    Look over there.
[15:14] Kl
    What?
[15:15] Kl
    What's going on down there?
[15:18] L
    Is this the new
[15:21] ---
    Jötunheimr slaughter quest that
    Asuna was talking about?
[15:26] L
    Like, you work with the humanoid Tyrants
    to eliminate the bestial ones?
[15:39] Kl
    She's huge...
[15:43] Gi
    I am Urd, Queen of the Lake.
[15:48] Gi
    You fairies who have formed
    a bond with my servants...
[15:51] Gi
    My two younger sisters and
    I have a request for you.
[15:57] Gi
    Please save this land from the frost giants.
[16:02] Y
    Daddy, that's an NPC.
[16:05] Y
    But something's strange.
[16:08] Y
    She isn't using the set response
    routines, like normal NPCs.
[16:13] Y
    She's connected to a language-engine
    module that's near the core program.
[16:18] K
    In other words, she's been turned into an AI?
[16:21] Y
    That's right, Daddy.
[16:23] Gi
    Once, Jötunheimr was like ALfheim.
[16:28] Gi
    It enjoyed the blessings of the World Tree, Yggdrasil,
[16:31] Gi
    and was covered in beautiful water and greenery.
[16:34] Gi
    We, the hill giants, and our servants,
    the animals, lived in peace.
[16:42] Gi
    Below Jötunheimr is the land of frost, Niflheim.
[16:49] Gi
    The King of the Frost Giants who rules
     that land, Thrym, snuck into this realm
[16:55] Gi
    and cast Excaliber, the
     "sword which cuts all trees and iron,"
[16:59] Gi
    into the Urd's lake, at the center of the world.
[17:04] Gi
    The sword cut the deepest root of the World Tree,
[17:07] Gi
    and when it did, Jötunheimr was
    cut off from Yggdrasil's bounties.
[17:31] K
    That's Excaliber?
[17:35] Gi
    Thrym's frost giants attacked Jötunheimr,
    from Niflheim, en masse,
[17:42] Gi
    building many fortresses and castles,
[17:44] Gi
    and capturing and imprisoning us, the hill giants.
[17:49] Gi
    They built a castle, Thrymheim,
[17:53] ---
    on the massive block of ice that
    used to be the lake of Urd,
[17:56] Gi
    and they now rule this land.
[17:58] Gi
    My two sisters and I escaped to
    the bottom of a frozen lake,
[18:04] Gi
    but we lack the power we once had.
[18:08] Gi
    The frost giants are not satisfied, however,
[18:10] Gi
    and they are trying to kill all our servants,
    the animals, that live in this land.
[18:17] Gi
    If they succeed, our power will vanish,
[18:21] ---
    and they will be able to elevate
    Thrymheim to ALfheim's surface.
[18:28] Kl
    What?
[18:29] Kl
    If they do that, it will destroy the town of Arun!
[18:33] Gi
    King Thrym desires to cover ALfheim in snow,
[18:38] Gi
    and rise to the top of the World Tree, Yggdrasil.
[18:43] Gi
    He desires the golden apple said to grow there.
[18:49] Gi
    Thrym and his generals have grown upset
[18:53] ---
    at their inability to slay my servants,
[18:55] Gi
    and have begun to ask for the help of you fairies.
[19:00] Gi
    He offers Excaliber as a prize,
[19:03] Gi
    and his goal is to have my servants annihilated.
[19:07] Gi
    But King Thrym has no intention
    of giving that sword to anyone.
[19:13] Gi
    When Excaliber vanishes from Thrymheim,
[19:16] Gi
    Yggdrasil's bounties will return to this land,
[19:20] Gi
    and that castle will melt and fall.
[19:23] L
    Then it's a lie that Excaliber is the quest reward?
[19:28] L
    Can you have a quest like that?
[19:30] U
    Thrym probably plans to bestow
    the false sword, Caliburn,
[19:34] U
    which looks identical to Excaliber.
[19:37] Su
    That's cheating!
[19:38] Su
    Is a king allowed to do that?
[19:41] U
    That cheating is Thrym's most potent weapon.
[19:45] U
    But he has made one mistake.
[19:50] U
    He sent most of his giants down from Thrymheim,
[19:55] ---
    to assist the fairy warriors.
[19:58] U
    That castle's defenses are weaker
    than they've ever been.
[20:03] K
    I see.
[20:11] U
    When this stone turns completely dark,
[20:14] U
    it signals that my servants all lie
    slain and my power gone.
[20:20] U
    Fairies, infiltrate Thrymheim, and draw
    Excaliber from the keystone dais.
SIGN    Holy Sword of the Frozen Palace
[20:32] U
    I am counting on you, fairies.
[20:42] Sl
    This has turned into a really big deal.
[20:45] S
    This is a normal quest, right?
[20:49] S
    But the scale seems a little too big for that.
[20:53] S
    Didn't she say something about how
[20:55] ---
    if all bestial Tyrants are wiped out,
    frost giants will invade the surface?
[20:59] K
    She did.
[21:01] K
    But I don't know if the GMs would
    do something like that
[21:04] ---
    with no update or warning.
[21:07] K
    Normally, you'd have at least a week's notice.
[21:12] S

[21:15] S
    Right, Brother?
[21:16] K
    That's right.
[21:17] K
    The reason we came here today was
     to enter that castle and get Excaliber.
[21:23] K
    If it isn't as heavily defended,
    that's exactly what we want.
[21:29] Kl
    Okay! It's our last big quest of the year.

[00:12] K
    Yui, what's wrong?
[00:15] Y
    Well, this is just a hypothesis...
[00:20] Y
    But in one respect, ALfheim Online
    differs greatly from the other
[00:26] ---
    The Seed Project VRMMOs.
[00:29] Y
    The Cardinal System operating the game
    is not a stripped-down version.
[00:35] Y
    It's a copy of the full-spec version
[00:38] ---
    used in the former Sword Art Online.
[00:41] K
    Full-spec version?
[00:43] Y
    The original Cardinal System had an
    auto-generation system for quests.
[00:48] Y
    Via its networks, it gathered traditions
    and legends from all over the world,
[00:53] Y
    and used or rearranged terms
    and story patterns from them
[00:57] ---
    to generate infinite quests.
[01:01] K
    Then, is this quest an auto-generated
    one that Cardinal made?
[01:05] Y
    From the way that NPC was acting, it's likely.
[01:10] Y
    Which means that, depending on
    how the story plays out,
[01:13] Y
    it could go all the way to the myth's end.
[01:17] Y
    According to the data in my archives,
[01:20] Y
    this quest and ALO itself are
    based on Norse mythology,
[01:25] Y
    which culminates in a so-called "final war."
[01:29] Y
    Not only will the frost giants invade
    from Niflheim or Jötunheimr,
[01:35] Y
    but flame giants from an even lower
    level, Muspelheim, will appear,
[01:40] Y
    and burn down the entire World Tree...
[01:46] Su
    Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods.
[01:50] Su
    No way.
[01:51] Su
    There's no way a game system
    would destroy its entire map.
[01:58] Y
    An original Cardinal System
[02:01] ---
    has the access level necessary
    to destroy an entire map.
[02:05] Y
    Because the original Cardinal System's last task
[02:09] ---
    was to destroy the floating castle, Aincrad.
[02:14] Su
    No...
[02:17] L
    My shop...
[02:21] K
    I haven't met the person I'm fated for yet.
[02:25] S
    Even if this Ragnarok occurs,
    wouldn't it be possible
[02:28] ---
    to restore the system
    to an earlier state via backup?
[02:33] Y
    If they use the Cardinal System's auto-backups,
[02:37] Y
    they'll only be able to roll back
    player data, not field data.
[02:44] K
    I know!
[02:48] K
    No good...
[02:50] L
    What are you trying to do?

    Everyone,
[06:31] K
    there's only thing we can do now!
[06:33] K
    You'll be vulnerable to attack,
    but if you do a magic-type Sword Skill,
[06:37] ---
    it might be able to damage the yellow one!
[06:42] K
    We'll have to take the chance,
[06:43] ---
    and concentrate all our Sword Skills
    on the yellow one, to defeat it.
[06:47] Kl
    Okay! I've been waiting for you to say that, Kirito.

    Here.
[09:57] Kl
    What's wrong?
[10:00] Kl
    Get ready for your beat down.
[10:15] All
    We did it!
[10:18] Kl
    Anyway, what was that?
[10:21] K
    Do I have to say?
[10:22] Kl
    Of course!
[10:24] Kl
    I've never seen that before.
[10:26] K
    It's a non-system skill, a Skill Connect.
[10:30] Kl
    Skill Connect?
[10:32] K
    You remember how the last update
    brought Sword Skills into ALO?
[10:37] K
    But that didn't include unique skills,
    such as dual-wielding or Holy Sword.
[10:43] Kl
    But you just used both hands.
[10:46] K
    That wasn't dual-wielding.
[10:50] K
    I used one-handed Sword Skills,
    in succession, with each hand.
[10:54] K
    You can only do them without delay three
    or four times, if you're lucky, though.
[11:02] A
    Now I have an incredible sense of déjà vu.
[11:06] Kl
    Anyway, what was that?
[11:10] K
    Do I have to say?
[11:13] Kl
    Of course!
[11:14] Kl
    I've never seen that before.
[11:18] K
    An extra skill.
[11:20] K
    Dual-wielding.
[11:24] K
    You're imagining it.
[11:26] K
    Anyway, we don't have time to waste.
[11:29] K
    Leafa, how much time do we have left?
[11:33] L
    At the rate it's going, about an hour.
[11:37] K
    I see.
[11:39] K
    Yui, this dungeon has a total of four floors, right?
[11:43] Y
    Yes.
[11:44] Y
    The third floor is only seventy
    percent the size of the second.
[11:47] Y
    The fourth is basically just a boss room.
[11:50] K
    Assuming it takes thirty minutes
    to beat the last boss,
[11:54] K
    we need to reach the boss room in thirty minutes.
[11:57] L
    I guess...
[11:59] L
    Or our only choice is to find
    the King of the Giants, and kick his butt!
[12:09] K
    Okay, once everyone's HP and MP are back to full,
[12:13] K
    we'll clean out the third floor!
[12:15] ---
    Yeah!
[13:02] K
    Right, all that's left is the last boss!
[13:28] P
    Please... Let me out.
[13:36] K
    It's a trap.
[13:37] L
    That's a trap.
[13:38] Si
    Definitely a trap.
[13:40] Kl
    Y-Yeah, it's a trap, isn't it?
[13:43] Kl
    Maybe...
[13:45] K
    Well, Yui?
[13:47] Y
    It's an NPC.
[13:48] Y
    It's connected to the language-engine
    module, just like Urd.
[13:53] Y
    But there's one difference.
[13:56] ---
    She has an HP gauge.
[13:59] K
    If she has HP, that means
    we might have to fight her.
[14:04] A
    It's a trap.
[14:05] Sil
    It's a trap, right?
[14:06] Si
    I think it's a trap.
[14:08] K
    Of course, it might not be,
[14:10] K
    but we don't have time to waste.
[14:13] K
    We need to get to Thrym as soon as possible.
[14:17] Kl
    Y-Yeah...
[14:19] Kl
    You're right, yeah.
[14:23] Gi
    Please... Someone...
[14:26] ---
    Please!
[14:33] Kl
    It's a trap, yeah.
[14:35] Kl
    I know.

    But even if it's a trap...
[14:40] Kl
    Even if I know it's a trap...

    Even if it's a trap, I can't leave her here!
[14:48] Kl
    Even... Even if the quest fails because of that,
[14:51] Kl
    and Arun is destroyed,
[14:53] Kl
    saving her here is something I have to do!

    Are you hurt?
[15:23] Gi
    Yes, I'm fine.
[15:29] Kl
    It's a bit of a ways to the exit.
[15:32] Kl
    Can you get there yourself?
[15:36] Gi
    I cannot simply flee the castle.
[15:41] Gi
    Not until I retrieve my family's treasure,
[15:43] ---
    which Thrym, the King of the Giants, stole.
[15:46] Gi
    Please take me to Thrym's room.

    Yeah.

    Hey, Kirito...
[16:02] K
    Jeez... Fine, fine.
[16:06] K
    We just have to follow this route to the end.

    This is it?
[05:50] K
    Freyja-san, take it!
[06:00] K
    It's flowing...
[06:02] K
    It's overflowing.
[06:06] Kl
    Freyja-san!
[06:10] K
    It's overflowing.
[06:12] K
    It's overflowing...
[06:20] K
    Freyja-san?
[06:33] K
    It's a g-guy!
[06:40] K
    Thor?
[06:41] K
    The god of thunder?
[06:51] T
    Cowardly giant,
[06:53] T
    did you steal my treasure, Mjölnir?
[06:57] T
    You will suffer for that now!
[07:07] Gu
    Filthy god... You'll pay for tricking me.
[07:12] Gu
    I'll rip off that bearded face of yours,
    and send you back to Asgard!
[07:18] S
    While Thor has aggro, let's attack.
[07:21] Si
    Yeah!
[07:22] K
    Everyone, attack as hard as you can!
[07:24] K
    Use all your Sword Skills!
[07:26] Kl
    Freyja-san!
[08:04] K
    Now!
[08:26] Gu
    Return to the depths of the earth,
    King of the Giants!
[08:41] Gu
    Be proud of your victory for now, flies.
[08:44] Gu
    But if you lower your guard around
    the gods of Asgard—
[09:02] Gu
    I thank you, fairy swordsmen.
[09:06] Gu
    Now I have avenged the theft of my treasure.
[09:11] Gu
    I must reward you.
[09:20] Gu
    The lightning hammer, Mjölnir!
[09:23] Gu
    Use it in righteous battles.
[09:26] Gu
    Then, farewell.
[09:48] K
    Congratulations on your legendary weapon.
[09:51] Kl
    I don't have a single point in hammer skills...

[10:04] S
    No... It's floating?

    Excaliber from the keystone dais.

[21:55] K

[22:00] K
    Cheers to 2025!
[22:04] All
    Cheers!
[22:07] Si
    But anyway, why "Excaliber"?
[22:11] ---
    Why what?
[22:13] Si
    When you see it in novels, isn't it usually "-calibur"?
[22:17] Si
    "Excalibur."
[22:18] K
    Oh, so that's it.
[22:21] S
    You read books like that, Sinon-san?
[22:25] Si
    When I was in middle school,
    I spent all my time in the library.
[22:29] Si
    I read a bunch of books on
    the legends of King Arthur.
[22:32] Si
    I think it was always "-calibur."
[22:34] K
    That's right.
[22:35] K
    In the original legend, there are lots
    of names for it, aren't there?
[22:39] Si
    I think the spelling is different.
[22:41] Si
    But the word for the diameter
    of a gun's barrel is "caliber."
[22:45] Si
    And from that, it came to mean
    the size of a person's quality.
[22:49] Su
    I'll remember that.
[22:50] Si
    You probably won't see it on a test.
[22:52] L
    Which means that Excaliber's owner
    needs to be a man of ability...
[22:58] Sl
    R-Really? Is that it?
[23:01] L
    Sure, it is.
[23:02] L
    So, I heard that someone here
[23:05] ---
    just made a ton of money off a short-term job...
[23:12] K
    O-Of course I was planning on
    paying for everything today.
[23:18] All
    Thank you!
[23:18] All
    Thank you, Kirito-kun!
[23:22] All
    That's so nice.
[23:25] All
    That's great.

    Here you go.
[03:07] Gu
    You know, you don't have to come
[03:09] ---
    to a dingy place like this
     for a date every time.
[03:12] Gu
    You could go somewhere
    more fashionable, right?
[03:15] K
    Compared to your place in Algade,
    this place is fashionable.
[03:20] A
    I liked that place.
[03:23] K
    Why? It was a rip-off.
[03:26] A
    You were living there for free, Kirito-kun!
[03:29] K
    But it doesn't change anything.
[03:33] K
    What are you grinning at?
[03:35] Gu
    Nothing... I was just thinking
[03:38] Gu
    when you're this way, you really don't look
    like the lead group's two best players.
[03:41] K
    I could say the same to you.
[03:44] A
    Have you been an MMORPG player
    for a long time, Agil-san?
[03:49] Gu
    Yeah.
[03:50] Gu
    I met my wife in a game.
[03:53] Gu
    She lived in America then,
[03:56] Gu
    but a year later, she and I started a café.
[04:00] Gu
    You never know what will happen in life.
[04:04] K
    If he heard that, who knows
    what Klein would say?
[04:08] K
    And so, we were going to buy two NerveGears.
[04:13] K
    But we could only reserve one.
[04:16] K
    The two of us played a game to see who'd go first.
[04:20] K
    I'm still glad I won, and she didn't.
[04:24] K
    Yeah.
[04:26] E
    I joined the lead group because I had this place.
[04:30] E
    I can't let my wife run it forever.
[04:35] K
    Yeah, my desire to return
    to my family saved me.
[04:41] E
    I'm sure all the lead group felt that way...
[04:43] E
    No, maybe all the players in Aincrad.
[04:49] E
    You had some kind of motivation
    like that, right, Asuna?
[04:53] A
    I...
[04:54] A
    I didn't really like my family.
[04:57] A
    So, in Aincrad, there were times when
    I nearly forgot why I was fighting.
[05:04] A
    I felt like there wasn't a place for me
[05:06] ---
    in the real world or the virtual one.
[05:10] A
    But Kirito-kun gave me a home.
[05:15] A
    A place that felt more like home
    than the house I lived in.
[05:21] A
    I knew that if we cleared SAO,
    our home on floor 22 would disappear.
[05:27] A
    So believing the day would come
    when Kirito-kun, Yui-chan, and I
[05:32] ---
    could live there again gave me power.
[05:37] A
    That's what I think.
[05:45] E
    About that...

    The contents of the next update were just revealed.

[06:04] A
    If we can beat floor 22's boss,
[06:07] ---
    can we buy that log cabin again?
[06:09] K
    Yeah.
[06:11] K
    But New Aincrad's details have been altered a lot,

[11:57] L
    No, no...
[11:58] L
    It's someone's name.
[12:00] L
    More like a nickname, I guess...
[12:03] L
    They're so strong, someone started calling them
[12:06] ---
    "Zekken," the absolute blade.
[12:09] L
    An invincible blade.
[12:11] L
    A blade that's better than any other.
[12:13] L
    That's what I think it means, anyway.
[12:14] A
    Strong...
[12:19] A
    So? What are they like?
[12:22] L
    Around New Year's, I started
    hearing the rumors...
[12:27] L
    A week ago, maybe?
[12:29] L
    I see.
[12:30] L
    So that's why you don't know.
[12:32] L
    You've been back home in Kyoto since then.
[12:37] A
    Don't make me remember that when I'm here.
[12:41] L
    It's tough being a rich girl.
[12:44] A
    It really was.
[12:46] A
    I had to wear a kimono and kneel
    the whole day, greeting people.
[12:50] A
    At night, I wanted to dive
    when no one was around,
[12:53] A
    but the separate house I was staying
    in didn't even have wireless LAN.
[12:57] A
    I brought my Amusphere, and it was a waste.
[13:01] A
    And...
[13:35] L
    Asuna?
[13:37] L
    Hey, Asuna?
[13:38] L
    Are you listening?
[13:40] A
    S-Sorry, I was remembering something
    that wasn't too great.
[13:43] L
    What?
[13:45] L
    Did they make you do an arranged
    marriage meeting in Kyoto?
[13:47] A
    No, no, it's nothing like that!
[13:50] L
    That was a joke.
[13:53] A
    Then if they're strong, does that
    make them a player-killer?
[13:56] L
    No, they just duel.
[13:59] A
    Were they in a tournament?
[14:00] L
    No, they're completely new.
[14:04] L
    But their skill points are high,
[14:07] L
    so they might be a convert from another game.
[14:11] L
    You know that little island
[14:14] ---
    north of floor 24's main town, with the big tree?
[14:17] E
    Every day, at 3:00, they stand
    there, and fight anyone

[14:28] E

    or so showed up, but...

     percent in any of the duels.

    doesn't that mean no one will
    want to fight them anymore?
[15:47] Si
    Not so much.
[15:49] Si
    What they're betting is amazing.
[15:52] A
    Is it some really rare item?
[15:55] Si
    It isn't an item.

[16:12] Si
    It looked like a general skill
    for a one-handed sword.
[16:15] Si
    And it's an eleven-hit combo!
[16:18] A
    Eleven?
[16:20] L
    Right now, how many hits does the
    strongest Original Sword Skill do?
[16:25] Su
    It's General Eugene's "Volcanic Blazer."
[16:29] Su
    It's eight hits, I think.
[16:31] Su
    But it seems the general isn't
    teaching it to anyone else.
[16:35] A
    That explains why so many
    people want to fight.
[16:39] A
    Did you actually see them use it?
[16:42] L
    No.
[16:44] L
    I guess they demonstrated it the first day...
[16:51] L
    But since then, they haven't used it in a fight.
[16:55] L
    No one's gotten them down enough
    to where they've needed to use it.
[17:03] A
    Does that mean even you weren't
    able to do it, Leafa-chan?
[17:07] Su
    I was doing well until both our HP
    bars went under sixty percent.
[17:12] Su
    But...
[17:15] Su
    In the end, I was overpowered
    with only the default skills.
[17:22] A
    I forgot to ask the most important thing.
[17:24] A
    What's the race and weapon?
[17:27] Su
    An imp.
[17:28] Su
    The weapon is a one-handed straight sword.
[17:30] Su
    But it's about as slim as your rapier.
[17:34] Su
    They're really fast.
[17:37] Su
    My eyes couldn't even follow the movements.
[17:39] Su
    I've never seen anything like it.
[17:41] Su
    It was a real shock.
[17:43] A
    A speed type, huh?
[17:45] A
    If you can't see them move, I don't
    know if I have a chance.
[17:50] A
    Speaking of movement speed,
[17:52] ---
    someone with incredible speed is right over there.
[17:55] A
    What about Kirito-kun?
[17:57] A
    He'd be interested in that...
[18:01] A
    Wh-What's wrong?
[18:04] Su
    My brother already fought.
[18:07] Su
    And when he lost, he looked very cool.
[18:12] A
    Was he serious?
[18:16] L
    It sounds silly to say it,
[18:18] L
    but in a fight like that,
[18:20] ---
    I don't think I'm capable of saying
    whether he was serious or not.
[18:25] L
    Well, he wasn't using two swords.
[18:28] L
    In that sense, he wasn't going at it for real, but...
[18:32] L
    And you know,
[18:34] ---
    I don't think Kirito's ever going to fight for real
[18:39] ---
    in a normal game again.
[18:44] L
    The only time he'll be serious is if
    the game isn't a game anymore.
[18:49] L
    When the virtual world becomes the real world.
[18:53] L
    So it's better that he doesn't have
    to fight for real anymore.
[18:59] L
    He already gets involved in plenty
    of trouble on his own.
[19:04] A
    Yeah, you're right.
[19:08] Su
    But as near as I could tell,
[19:12] ---
    he wasn't messing around.
[19:15] Su
    I don't think he was slacking off.
[19:19] Su
    But something bothered me a little...
[19:23] Su
    Just before the fight ended, the two locked swords,
[19:27] Su
    and they didn't move.
[19:30] Su
    And it seemed like my brother was
    saying something to Zekken-san.
[19:37] Su
    After that, the two of them broke apart,
[19:40] Su
    and Brother couldn't completely
    dodge Zekken-san's charge.
[19:47] A
    What were they talking about?
[19:49] Su
    Well, he won't tell me.
[19:52] Su
    It felt like there must be something.
[19:56] A
    I see...
[19:58] A
    Then I'll have to ask Zekken-san myself.
[20:03] L
    Then you'll fight them?
[20:06] A
    I don't think I can win.
[20:08] A
    But they kind of interest me.
[20:12] A
    It feels like they came to ALO for some
    reason other than fighting duels.
[20:17] L
    Yeah, I felt the same way.
[20:19] L
    But if you want to know what it is,
[20:22] ---
    you'll have to fight as well as Kirito did.
[20:26] A
    I know.
[20:28] A
    Will you all watch me?
[20:30] Si
    Of course.
[20:31] Si
    I couldn't miss a fight like that!
[20:34] L
    Which character will you use?
[20:36] L
    You have that sylph account, right?
[20:40] A
    I'll go with this one. I'm used to it.
[20:44] A
    If they're a speed type, I'd rather
     be able to keep up than focus on DPS.
[20:48] A
    Then that's it.
[20:50] ---
    Um, the small island on floor 24, at 3:00, right?
[20:53] ---
    Yeah.
[20:54] ---
    So we can meet here at 2:30, right?
[20:57] ---
    Oh, no! It's already 6:00?
[20:59] ---
    I'll be late for dinner!
[21:01] Su
    Then let's call it a day.
[21:03] L
    It's tough being a rich girl.
[21:09] Si
    He still isn't awake?
[21:11] Su
    He isn't awake after all we've done to him?
     Brother's amazing.
[21:12] A
    Hey, Liz...
[21:13] L
    What?
[21:15] A
    You said Zekken was a converted player, right?
[21:20] A
    But if they're that strong, do you think
    they might be a former SAO player?
[21:31] L
    Yeah, that was the first thing I thought.
[21:35] L
    So when Kirito fought Zekken,
     I asked him what he thought, but...
[21:37] Su
    Come on, Brother! Get up! We're leaving!
[21:42] A
    What did he say?
[21:45] L
    "There's no way Zekken was an SAO player.
[21:49] L
    Because...
[21:51] ---
    Because if they were in that world,
[21:55] L
    the two-sword skill would've
    gone to them, not me."

    Were you using that machine again?
[04:47] A
    Yes, I'd promised to do my
    homework with everyone.
[04:51] Ky
    You need to move your own hands when
    you do it, or you won't learn anything.
[04:55] A
    Everyone lives far away.
[04:58] A
    I can meet them easily there.
[05:00] Ky
    If you're using that machine,

    If you do it with others,
    you'll just end up playing around.
[05:12] Ky
    Listen...
[05:13] Ky
    You don't have time to play.
[05:16] Ky
    You're two years behind the other children.
[05:18] ---
    To make up for it, you have
    to study two years harder.
[05:22] A
    I am studying!

    I printed out my second-quarter report card,
    and put it on your desk.

[05:58] Ky
    For your third year, I managed

    to let you take the entrance exam
    for the high school he runs.
[06:06] Ky
    A real school, not that makeshift

[06:10] Ky
    It uses a credit system, so you'll be able
[06:13] ---
    to graduate in the first half of the year.
[06:16] Ky
    Then you can start college in September.
[06:18] A
    W-Wait!
[06:20] A
    You can't just decide that...
[06:22] A
    I like my school!
[06:25] A
    There are lots of good teachers.
[06:26] A
    And I can study there!
[06:29] A
    I don't need to go to another school!
[06:34] Ky
    I did my research.
[06:37] Ky
    The school you're attending is
    barely worthy of the name.
[06:41] Ky
    The curriculum is sloppy.
[06:43] Ky
    The classes are easy.
[06:45] Ky
    The teachers are a bunch of nobodies,
    with no real experience.
[06:50] A
    Y-You don't have to put it like that...
[06:56] Ky
    They claim it takes care of the
    students whose education
[07:00] ---
    was delayed because of the accident,
[07:01] Ky
    but they really want all the children
[07:04] ---
    who spent two years killing each other
    in one place, so they can monitor them.
[07:09] Ky
    It's practically a prison.

    two years killing each other," Mom.

    He's never had a good eye for people.

    It's okay... Yuuya-kun is a little introverted,

    Stop being so nervous all the time, Tal.

[00:38] Z
    And I'm Yuuki, the guild leader!

    We want to defeat this floor's boss monster.
[00:49] Z
    With just these members!
SIGN    The Sleeping Knights
[02:31] A
    A boss fight is normally done with forty-nine
    people: seven parties of seven, right?
[02:38] A
    No matter how good you are, I don't know
    if it's possible with only seven people...
[02:45] Z
    Actually, it is.
[02:48] Z
    In fact, we challenged the bosses on the
    twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth floors.
[02:52] A
    Th-The six of you?
[02:54] Z
    Yeah.
[02:55] Z
    We thought we were doing pretty well,
[02:59] Z
    but as we tried to optimize our attack,
[03:01] Z
    one of the big guilds beat them before us.
[03:05] A
    Why do something so crazy?
[03:08] Gi
    We met in a certain game's net community,
[03:12] Gi
    and we all became fast friends.
[03:15] Gi
    But unfortunately, we'll probably only be able
     to adventure together until spring.
[03:24] Gi
    Everyone will be busy with their own lives.
[03:28] Gi
    So, before that happens, we all decided
[03:31] ---
    to make a memory we'd never be able to forget.
[03:36] A
    And it's a boss fight?
[03:38] Gi
    Yeah.
[03:39] Gi
    If you defeat a boss,
[03:41] ---
    your name appears on the Swordsman's Memorial
[03:44] ---
    on the first floor, in the Black Iron Palace
    in the Town of Beginnings, right?
[03:48] Gi
    I know it's silly,
[03:52] Gi
    but we really want to have our
    names on that memorial.
[03:57] Gi
    But there's one problem...
[04:00] Gi
    If only a single party defeats a boss,
    everyone's name appears on it.
[04:06] Gi
    But if there are multiple parties,
[04:08] Gi
    only the party leaders' names appear.
[04:13] Gi
    In other words, to get all the Sleeping
    Knights' names on the memorial,
[04:17] Gi
    we have to defeat the boss with a single party.
[04:22] Gi
    And so, we all agreed.
[04:25] Gi
    A party is a maximum of seven people.
[04:28] Gi
    So we thought we'd find someone as strong
    as our strongest member, Yuuki...
[04:32] ---
    Or even stronger! And ask them to join our party...
[04:38] A
    That's why you were fighting those duels?
[04:42] Gi
    Well?
[04:43] Gi
    Will you help us?
[04:45] Gi
    We may not be able to do much to thank you, but...
[04:49] A
    No, no.
[04:51] A
    Fighting a boss takes a ton of money,
    so you should save your cash.
[04:57] A
    If I can get something from
    the boss, that'll be enough.
[05:01] Gi
    Then you'll do it?
[05:20] A
    This isn't the old Aincrad.
[05:24] A
    But I'm still thinking about odds
    of victory and safety margins.
[05:31] A
    A safe fight.
[05:33] A
    A certain victory.
[05:35] A
    There's more fun to a game than that.
[05:40] A
    I'm sure Yuuki and the others know that.
[05:44] A
    Much more than I do.
[05:50] A
    I'll give it a try.
[05:53] A
    We can forget about the odds—
[05:55] Z
    Thank you, Asuna-san!
[05:59] A
    Y-You can call me "Asuna."
[06:02] Z
    You can call me "Yuuki"!
[06:05] A
    Come to think of it, Yuuki-san—
    I mean, Yuuki...
[06:09] ---
    During your duels, you were looking
    for someone strong, right?
[06:12] Z
    Yep, that's right.
[06:13] A
    But I think there must have been
    many strong people before me...
[06:18] A
    Especially that Spriggan with black clothes
    and the one-handed long sword.
[06:22] A
    Do you remember him?
[06:24] Z
    Oh...
[06:25] Z
    Yeah, I remember. He was really strong.
[06:29] A
    Then why didn't you ask him for help?
[06:35] A
    I don't think he'd work.
[06:37] ---
    Why?
[06:39] Z
    He figured out my secret.
[06:46] A
    Okay, can we meet here, tomorrow at 1:00?
[06:50] All
    Okay!
[06:51] All
    Roger!
[06:52] A

    do you remember what I said?
[07:47] Ki
    If you were late for dinner again, using it,
[07:50] Ki
    I would cut the power.
[07:52] A
    I'm sorry! I lost track of time...
[07:56] A
    But you didn't have to yank the cord!
[07:59] A
    You can shake me or shout in my ear,
[08:03] A
    and I'll see a message—

    The last time I tried that, it took
    you five minutes to wake up.
[08:08] A
    Well...
[08:10] A
    I have to move around and say goodbye...
[08:13] Ki
    What do you mean, "say goodbye"?
[08:14] Ki
    What takes place in that weird game
[08:17] ---
    is more important to you than
    your real commitments?
[08:24] A
    I'm sorry.
[08:26] A
    I'll be careful next time.

    This had better not happen again.
[08:32] Ki
    If you break a rule again due to this,

    We're waiting for someone.
[12:44] Gu
    We didn't want to be fighting mobs
    while waiting for our friends,
[12:47] ---
    so we were hiding.
[12:50] A
    Fine.
[12:52] A
    We're here to fight the boss.
[12:55] A
    If you're waiting, you won't mind
    if we go ahead of you, right?
[12:58] Gu
    N-No, of course not.
[13:05] Gu
    We'll wait for our friends here. Good luck.

    We'll follow our original plan,
    and have a look inside.
[13:25] Z
    Yeah.
[13:27] Gu
    Let's not merely peek. Let's try and beat it!
[13:31] A
    Well, that would be ideal...
[13:34] A
    But you don't need to use your
    expensive healing items.
[13:38] A
    We'll just get as far as we can with
    Siune's and my healing, okay?
[13:43] Gu
    Right, sensei!
[13:44] A
    Hey!
[13:46] A
    Even if you die, don't go back to town immediately.
[13:49] A
    Watch the boss's attack patterns carefully,
[13:52] ---
    and if we all get wiped out,
     we return to the Lonbal save point.
[13:56] All
    Roger!
[14:46] A
    Let's go!
[14:47] All
    Right!
[14:55] Gi
    We totally lost!
[14:56] Gi
    What was that attack? It's not fair!
[14:59] Gu
    Its defense was really good, too...
[15:02] Gu
    Was that guard move he does random?
[15:06] Z
    We worked really hard, too.
[15:09] ---
    Asuna!
[15:11] A
    Everyone, get over here quickly!
[15:14] A
    There's no time to waste.
[15:18] A
    You remember the three guys in front
    of the boss room, don't you?
[15:21] Z
    Yeah, sure.
[15:22] A
    Those were scouts for a guild
    that only fights bosses.
[15:27] A
    They're watching to see if other players,
[15:29] ---
    outside their guild, fight the boss.
[15:32] A
    They probably saw you all enter
[15:34] ---
    the boss rooms on the last
    floor and the one before it.
[15:38] Gi
    I didn't notice at all.
[15:41] A
    I'd guess their goal isn't to interfere
    with us. It's to gather information.
[15:46] A
    They use small guilds, like the Sleeping Knights,
[15:50] ---
    to gather information on the boss's
    attack patterns and weaknesses.
[15:54] Gu
    B-But right after we entered the
    boss room, the door closed.
[16:00] Gu
    They couldn't watch the fight
    itself and learn anything.
[16:05] A
    That was my mistake.
[16:07] A
    Near the end of the fight, I saw a small,
    gray lizard on the floor by Jun.
[16:15] A
    That's the darkness spell "peeping."
[16:17] A
    You make a familiar follow another player,
[16:19] A
    and you can see what it sees.
[16:23] Z
    Does that mean that, after we got wiped out
    on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth floors,
[16:29] Z
    it wasn't a coincidence that the
    bosses were beaten so quickly?
[16:34] A
    I'm sure of it.
[16:35] A
    You guys worked so hard, you were
    able to reveal all the boss's tricks,
[16:39] A
    and that's why they were willing
    to take the chance of fighting.
[16:44] Gi
    Which means that we've fallen for
    the same trick again, this time?
[16:53] Z
    Oh, man...
[16:54] Gu
    Damn it!
[16:55] A
    No...
[16:57] ---
    Not necessarily!
[17:00] Z
    What do you mean, Asuna?
[17:02] A
    In real time, it's 2:30 in the afternoon.
[17:05] A
    Even a large guild will have difficulty
[17:08] ---
    getting a big group together with this notice.
[17:11] A
    I think it'd take an hour, minimum.
[17:15] A
    We'll use that time.
[17:17] A
    We'll finish our meeting in five minutes,
    and be back at the boss room in thirty.
[17:22] A
    Okay?
[17:27] Z
    Yeah!
[17:33] Gu
    Okay! We're almost there!
[17:36] Z
    Hey, wait!
[17:38] Gu
    No way!
[17:45] Z
    Wh-What is this?
[17:50] A
    It's okay.
[17:52] A
    They only have twenty or so here.
[17:54] A
    We'll have time to try.
[17:57] Z
    Really?
[17:59] A
    Excuse me.
[18:01] A
    We want to challenge the boss.
[18:03] A
    Can you let us through?
[18:06] Gu
    Sorry.

    This place is off-limits right now.
[18:10] A
    What do you mean by "off-limits"?
[18:13] Gu

    We're getting ready.
[18:19] Gu
    Just wait there a while.
[18:21] A
    A while? How long?
[18:23] Gu
    Well... An hour or so?

[18:32] A

    go to guild HQ and talk to them.

    Hey, you...

    In other words, you won't move,
    no matter what we say, right?

    Well, basically, yeah.
[19:04] Z
    All right.
[19:05] Z
    Fine, then.
[19:07] Z
    Let's fight.

[19:16] Z
    Asuna, there are things you can only
    share with someone by fighting.

    For instance, how serious you are.
[19:27] Gu
    Yeah, that's about right!

    I'm sure they agree with me.

    We're...
[19:50] Z
    Now, draw your sword.
[20:11] Gu
    Th-That isn't fair...
[20:14] Gu
    That was a surprise attack!
[20:24] Z
    There are things you can only
    share with someone by fighting.
[20:31] A
    Oh...
[20:34] A
    She's right.

    Oh, no!

    Yeah.
[05:51] Gi
    I think I can keep up.
[05:53] A
    Then I'll wipe out the enemy healers.
[06:07] A
    Yuuki, dodge!
[06:27] Gu
    The berserk healer?
[06:45] A
    Okay, here's where it gets real.
[06:48] A
    Let's go beat the boss.
[06:50] All
    Yeah!
[07:24] A
    Yeah, I'm off to go win.
[07:31] A
    Everyone, use potions to max your HP and MP.
[07:37] A
    We'll handle the boss just like we planned.
[07:40] A
    The early attack pattern is simple,
[07:42] ---
    so take your time and dodge it.
[07:50] Z
    Asuna?
[07:52] Z
    Asuna, those people back there...
[07:55] Z
    They were here to help us get through?
[07:59] A
    Yeah.
[08:00] A
    Let's repay them by telling
    them how we beat the boss.
[08:05] Z
    But...
[08:07] Z
    You and your friends have done
    nothing but help us, and...
[08:14] A
    You taught me something important, too.
[08:19] A
    That there are things that can
    be shared only by fighting.
[08:25] Gu
    Yeah.
[08:31] A
    Okay, this is our last chance.
[08:34] A
    While we're fighting,
     that guild will get ready again.
[08:39] A
    Let's do our best,
[08:41] ---
    so that when the door opens,
    we can greet them with a victory sign.
[08:46] A
    Hey, Yuuki...
[08:47] A
    Once this battle is over,
    tell me about yourself.
[08:52] A
    What worlds you've seen,
[08:54] A
    and what adventures you've had.
[09:20] Z
    Okay, time to give it another go!
[10:08] A
    Sar Phita.
[10:26] A
    I've got three left.
[10:28] A
    Everyone, we're almost there!
[10:30] A
    Let's just keep at it little while longer!
[10:32] Z
    Yeah!
[10:46] Gu
    Its defense was really good, too...
[10:49] Gu
    Was that guard move he does random?
[10:52] A
    Siune, I just realized something!
[10:55] A
    Can you take care of the healing
    for just thirty seconds?
[10:57] Gi
    Yeah, I'll be all right.
[10:59] Gi
    I'm still in good shape.
[11:02] A
    Eck Skete Pho Lil Iskaldol Eil!
[11:15] A
    I was right.
[11:16] A
    I thought that guard move
    was random, but it's not.
[11:20] A
    The jewel on its neck is its weak point.
[11:24] Gi
    So if we attack that, can we defeat it?
[11:26] A
    If nothing else, it'll make
    this faster... I think.
[11:30] A
    But you can't fly in a dungeon,
    so it's a little too high up.
[11:34] Gi
    Then we'll have to use Sword Skills,
    and just prepare to be countered.
[11:37] A
    I'll go up and tell them the plan.
[11:40] A
    Keep healing for a bit more.
[11:42] Gi
    Leave it to me!
SIGN    Asuna gave you 2 Ex-Mana Potions.
[11:48] A
    Yuuki!
[11:49] Y
    Asuna, what is it?
[11:51] A
    Listen.
[11:52] A
    It has a weak spot.
[11:54] A
    If we aim for the jewel
    between its two necks,
[11:57] A
    we can do massive damage.
[11:59] Z
    A weak spot?
[12:05] Z
    It's high up.
[12:06] Z
    I can't jump that high.
[12:10] A
    You've got a perfect stepping stone.

    with that hammer, duck!

    Go, Yuuki.

    Leave it to me, Sis!
[12:34] A

[13:37] A
    We did it...

    Asuna!
[13:44] Z
    We did it! We won!
[13:46] Z
    We won, Asuna!
[13:48] A
    Yeah, we did it.
[13:51] A
    I'm so tired.
[13:53] Gu
    We did it.
[13:55] Gu
    I'm exhausted...
[14:08] Gu
    That's impossible...

[14:50] A
    Yeah, let's.
[14:52] A
    Let's have a big party!
[14:54] Gu
    We have a big budget, after all.
[14:58] Gu
    Where should we go?
[14:59] Gu
    Maybe rent a big restaurant
    all for ourselves?
[15:04] A
    Um, why not come to my player home?
[15:10] A
    It's small, but...
[15:14] A
    Y-Yuuki?
[15:16] A
    What's wrong?
[15:19] Gi
    Um...
[15:20] Gi
    I'm sorry, Asuna-san.
[15:23] Gi

[16:43] ---
    an American one called Insect Site.
[16:46] Gi
    Oh, that...
[16:49] A
    What was it like?
[16:50] Z
    Bugs! Bugs everywhere!
[16:52] Z
    It's one thing for the monsters to be bugs,
[16:54] Z
    but the players are bugs, too!
[16:56] Z
    I was an ant that walked on two legs,
[17:00] Z
    but Siune was...
[17:02] Gi
    No! Don't say it!
[17:04] Z
    She was a huge caterpillar!
[17:06] Z
    She shot thread out from her mouth.
[17:12] A
    That's so nice...
[17:13] A
    You've all traveled through a lot
    of worlds together, haven't you?
[17:17] Z
    What about you, Asuna?
[17:18] Z
    You seem like you've played a lot of VRMMOs.
[17:21] A
    I, well...
[17:24] A
    This is the only one.
[17:26] A
    It took a long time to get the
    money to buy this house.
[17:30] Z
    I see...
[17:32] Z
    Anyway, this house is really comfortable.
[17:37] Z
    It reminds me of the past.
[17:40] Gi
    That's right.
[17:41] Gi
    It's really relaxing here.
[17:46] A
    Wh-What's wrong, Siune?
[17:48] Gi
    I'm sorry! I forgot!
[17:50] Gi
    Speaking of money,
[17:52] ---
    we promised we'd give you
    something the boss dropped,
[17:56] ---
    when you agreed to help us, didn't we?
[18:02] Gu
    That's right...
[18:08] Z
    I forgot, too.
[18:11] A
    It's fine. It's fine.
[18:14] A
    In exchange, I have a request.
[18:17] Z
    A request?
[18:17] A
    Um...
[18:20] ---
    This is the end of our contract.
[18:24] A
    But I want to talk with you more, Yuuki.
[18:27] A
    There are more things I want to ask.
[18:29] Z
    Asuna, there are things you can only
    share with someone by fighting.
[18:37] A
    Would you let me join the Sleeping Knights?
[18:49] Z
    Um... Um, Asuna...
[18:52] Z
    We Sleeping Knights are going to disband soon,
[18:56] ---
    probably before spring.
[19:00] Z
    After that, we won't be spending
    a lot of time in the game.
[19:04] A
    Yeah, I know.
[19:06] A
    Just until then.
[19:07] A
    I want to be friends with you,
    Yuuki, and everyone else.
[19:12] A
    We've got that much time, right?
[19:15] Z
    I'm sorry.
[19:17] Z
    I'm sorry, Asuna.
[19:19] Z
    I'm really sorry...
[19:23] A
    I see!
[19:25] A
    No...
[19:26] A
    I'm sorry for asking
    something so hard, Yuuki.
[19:31] Gi
    Um, Asuna-san...
[19:33] Gi
    I... We...
[19:36] A
    I'm sorry for causing trouble
    by saying something weird.
[19:40] Z
    Want to go see that thing
    and cheer ourselves up?
[19:43] Gi
    That thing?
[19:44] A
    You forgot something important.
[19:46] A
    I'm sure it's already been updated.
[19:49] A

    in the Black Iron Palace.

    You're saying it again, Yuuki.

    Hello, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
[06:34] A
    N-Not at all.
[06:36] Gu
    So you're Yuuki Asuna-san, yes?
[06:39] A
    Yes.
[06:40] Gu
    My name is Kurahashi.
[06:42] Gu
    I'm Konno Yuuki-san's doctor.
[06:44] A
    Konno-san?
[06:48] Gu
    I'm amazed you found this place.
[06:51] Gu
    Yuuki-kun said that someone
[06:53] ---
    named Asuna-san might come to see her.
[06:58] A
    Yuuki did?
[06:59] Gu
    But she said she didn't tell you about the hospital.
[07:03] Gu
    So I told her there was no way
    you'd find this place, but...
[07:08] Gu
    When the front desk called me, I was surprised.
[07:12] A
    Um... Did Yuuki-san tell you about me?
[07:17] Gu
    Sure.
[07:18] Gu
    All she does is talk about you.
[07:21] Gu
    But whenever she was done talking
    about you, she would cry.
[07:28] Gu
    She never complains about her own situation.
[07:32] Gu
    She said she wanted to see you, but she couldn't.
[07:38] A
    After we said goodbye in the virtual world,
[07:41] ---
    Yuuki-san and her friends
    told me the same thing.
[07:45] A
    Why? Why can't I see her?
[07:55] Gu
    I suppose I should begin by telling
    you about the Medicuboid.
[07:59] A
    Okay.
[08:01] Gu
    The Medicuboid is something
[08:03] ---
    that's currently being developed
    by the national government.
[08:05] Gu
    It's the code name for the world's
    first medical full-dive system.
[08:09] A
    Medical full-dive system?
[08:11] Gu
    That's right.
[08:13] Gu
    For people with vision or hearing problems,
[08:17] ---
    that machine is truly a blessing.
[08:20] Gu
    Because the Amusphere transmits sound
    and images directly to the brain.
[08:26] Gu
    It isn't only signal transmission, either.
[08:29] Gu
    The Amusphere also has sensation-cancelers.
[08:33] Gu
    By sending an electromagnetic pulse here,
[08:35] Gu
    it can temporarily paralyze the nerves.
[08:39] Gu
    In other words, it functions just
    like general anesthesia.
[08:42] A
    But isn't that impossible?
[08:45] A
    The sensory levels you can
    interact with via Amusphere
[08:48] ---
    are limited to very low levels.
[08:51] Gu
    That's right!
[08:52] Gu
    That's exactly right.
[08:54] Gu
    The Amusphere... No, even the NerveGear
[08:57] ---
    can't cancel the pain from
    surgery or serious illnesses.
[08:59] Gu
    So the Medicuboid enhances the
    electromagnetic pulse's output,
[09:03] Gu
    and by fitting it on a specialized bed,
     we can cover everything
[09:06] ---
    from the brain to the entire spinal column.
[09:08] Gu
    If this is put into use, it will
    change medicine forever.
[09:12] Gu
    And with the Medicuboid's specs,
[09:15] ---
    you could combine it with a camera to allow
[09:18] ---
    AR-image processing in real time.
[09:21] A
    That sounds like a true dream machine.
[09:27] Gu
    Yes.
[09:28] Gu
    It truly is a dream machine.
[09:32] Gu
    But it doesn't treat the underlying illness.
[09:37] Gu
    The place where it's hoped it will have
[09:40] ---
    the most impact is terminal care.
[09:43] A
    Terminal care?
[09:45] Gu
    Treatment for terminal illnesses.
[09:49] A
    Terminal...
[09:53] Gu
    Yuuki-kun told me that if you wanted it,
    I was to tell you everything about her.
[10:00] Gu
    But you may wish later that I hadn't.
[10:11] A
    No.
[10:14] A
    Continue.
[10:15] A
    Please.
[10:16] A
    That's why I came here!
[10:23] Gu
    Yuuki-kun was born in May 2011.
[10:28] Gu
    It was a difficult birth, and her
    mother was given a C-section.
[10:31] Gu
    At the time, she was given blood.
[10:35] Gu
    But unfortunately, that blood
    was infected with a virus.
[10:40] Gu
    The virus was detected in September,
[10:43] Gu
    during a post-transfusion test her mother took.
[10:47] Gu
    But at that point, her entire family had already...

    so you can't go in.
[11:11] Gu
    Please understand.
[11:23] A
    Yuuki...
[11:26] A
    Doctor, what is she ill with?
[11:29] Gu
    Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
[11:33] Gu
    AIDS.
[11:35] Gu
    AIDS isn't as terrifying an illness as people think.
[11:41] Gu
    With early detection, you can delay
[11:43] ---
    the onset of symptoms for a long time.
[11:48] Gu
    But the virus she was infected with
    was a drug-resistant variant.
[11:53] Gu
    Yuuki-kun's mother despaired
    for her children's future,
[11:57] Gu
    and was prepared to kill herself at one point.
[12:03] Gu
    But she decided to continue
    to fight the illness instead.

    To keep fighting...
[12:11] Gu
    Yes. Soon after birth, Yuuki-kun
    was given multi-drug therapy.
[12:17] Gu
    It's hard for a young child to take lots of drugs
[12:20] ---
    at regular intervals.
[12:23] Gu
    There are side effects, as well.
[12:25] Gu
    And she also suffered due to prejudice, I'm told.
[12:29] Gu
    But Yuuki-kun and her family
    believed she'd get better,
[12:33] ---
    and she did her best.
[12:36] Gu
    But in fourth grade, her immune
    system suddenly collapsed.
[12:41] Gu
    In other words, the AIDS symptoms began,
    and she was hospitalized here.
[12:49] Gu
    Still, she was always smiling.
[12:54] A
    Doctor,
[12:56] ---
    why did she decide to use the Medicuboid?
[12:59] Gu
    Just as the public was panicking
    about the NerveGear incident,
[13:04] Gu
    the first Medicuboid prototype was completed.
[13:08] Gu
    But even if we'd wanted to do trials,
[13:10] Gu
    no one knew what the long-term effects
    of electromagnetic pulses,
[13:13] ---
    several times stronger than those
    of the NerveGear, would be.
[13:18] Gu
    They couldn't find a patient who
    was willing to take the risk.
[13:24] Gu
    When I heard about it,
[13:26] Gu
    I made Yuuki-kun and her parents a proposal.
[13:29] Gu
    If she agreed to try the device,
[13:31] ---
    I could have her put in a clean room
[13:34] ---
    that would greatly reduce her risk of infection.
[13:39] Gu
    Sometimes, I still don't know if it was for the best.
[13:46] Gu
    Both Yuuki-kun and her parents spent
    a lot of time worrying about it.
[13:51] Gu
    But her longing for the unknown of a virtual world
[13:55] ---
    was probably the deciding factor.
[13:57] Gu
    She agreed to be a test subject,
[14:00] Gu
    and entered this room.
[14:02] Gu
    Ever since then, she's lived in the Medicuboid.
[14:06] A
    You mean...
[14:08] Gu
    I mean exactly that.
[14:10] Gu
    She almost never returns to the real world.
[14:14] Gu
    Right now, she's using
[14:16] ---
    the Medicuboid's sensation-canceler
    to alleviate the pain.
[14:20] A
    In other words, she's diving
    twenty-four hours a day?
[14:24] A
    And she's been doing that...
[14:26] Gu
    For three years.
[14:28] A
    A year longer than we did?
[14:31] K
    A product of the full-dive environment.
[14:34] K
    That's what it felt like.
[14:53] A
    Thank you.
[14:56] A
    For letting me see Yuuki.
[15:00] A
    Yuuki's safe in here, right?
[15:04] Gu
    Even in a clean room,
[15:06] Gu
    we can't remove the bacteria
    and viruses from her body.
[15:10] A
    Then...
[15:12] Gu
    Yuuki-kun's condition is terminal.
[15:15] Gu
    You can probably understand
    why she tried to disappear.
[15:22] A
    No...
[15:24] A
    That can't...
[15:25] Z
    Asuna, I...
[15:31] Z
    Leave it to me, Sis!
[15:34] A
    Um, doctor... Does Yuuki have a sister?
[15:40] Z
    Yes, that's right.
[15:41] Z
    She was a twin.
[15:45] Z
    Her sister's name was Aiko-san.
[15:48] Z
    Yuuki-kun was a bright and cheerful child,
[15:50] ---
    and she would always smile and watch her.
[15:55] Z
    Come to think of it,
[15:56] ---
    she might have been a bit like you, somehow.
[15:59] A
    Might have been?
[16:01] Gu
    Two years ago, her parents passed away.
[16:04] Gu
    And her sister one year ago.
[16:13] A
    Yuuki...
[16:16] A
    Yuuki...
[16:24] Z
    Don't cry, Asuna!
[16:31] A
    Yuuki! Yuuki!
[16:33] A
    Are you there?
[16:34] Z
    Yeah.
[16:35] Z
    It's through a lens, but I can see you, Asuna.
[16:38] Z
    Wow.
[16:39] Z
    You really do look just the
    same as on the other side.
[16:42] Z
    Thanks for coming.
[16:44] A
    Yuuki, I...
[16:47] A
    I...
[16:48] Z
    Doctor, please let her use the room next door.
[16:53] Gu
    That's fine.
[16:55] Gu
    The Amusphere I always use to talk
     to her is in the next room.
[16:59] A
    Right!
[17:01] Z
    ALO is on the apps start up list.
[17:04] Z
    When you log in, go to the first place we met.
[17:19] A
    One more time...
[17:21] A
    I want to see you, just one more time!
[17:25] A
    I want to see you, and talk
    to you for real this time!
[17:43] A
    Yuuki!
[17:49] A
    Yuuki!
[18:04] A
    Yuuki...
[18:08] Z
    I don't know why...
[18:09] Z
    But I had a feeling you'd
    find me in the real world.
[18:15] Z
    But since I hadn't told you anything,
[18:18] ---
    I knew it was impossible.
[18:20] Z
    But you came.
[18:23] Z
    It's pretty rare for my feelings to come true.
[18:27] Z
    I was happy... Really.
[18:47] Z
    You smell just like my sister when she held me.
[18:51] Z
    You smell like the sun.
[18:53] A
    Aiko-san?
[18:55] A
    Your sister played VRMMOs, too?
[18:57] Z
    Yeah.
[18:59] Z
    She was the first leader of the Sleeping Knights.
[19:03] Z
    She was way stronger than me.
[19:08] Z
    She met Siune and the others in a virtual
    hospice called Selene Garden.
[19:13] Z
    At first, there were nine of us.
[19:16] Z
    But my sister, Clovis, and Merida...
[19:19] Z
    Three of them are gone now.
[19:23] Z
    So we decided that when it was
    the next person's time,
[19:28] Z
    we'd disband the guild.
[19:31] Z
    Asuna, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth.
[19:35] Z
    The reason the Sleeping Knights
    are disbanding in the spring
[19:39] ---
    isn't because we'll be too busy to play the game.
[19:42] Z
    It's because two of our members
    have been told they have,
[19:46] ---
    at most, three months to live.
[19:52] Z
    So we wanted to have one last memory
    from this wonderful world.
[19:59] Z
    We wanted to leave proof that we
    were here on that huge monument.
[20:05] Z
    We wanted to have an incredible adventure
    to brag about to my sister and the rest.
[20:11] Z
    But it wasn't going well.
[20:14] Z
    We decided to find one person
    who could help us.
[20:19] Z
    But we caused you trouble,
[20:21] Z
    and I'm sure this is unpleasant for you.
[20:24] Z
    I'm sorry.
[20:25] Z
    I'm sorry, Asuna.
[20:26] Z
    There's still time for you to forget us.
[20:32] A
    I can't do that.
[20:35] A
    I'm really happy I met you all,
[20:39] A
    and I was able to help you.
[20:41] A
    I still wish I could be part
    of the Sleeping Knights.
[20:45] Z
    Yeah.
[20:46] Z
    I'm really happy I was able to come
    to this world and meet you...
[20:52] Z
    What you just said is enough.
    It's enough for me.
[20:57] Z
    I'm satisfied with everything.
[21:01] A
    There are still...
[21:02] ---
    There are still a lot of things
    you haven't done, right?
[21:04] A
    I'm sure there are all kinds of places
    in ALfheim you haven't visited yet.
[21:08] A
    And if you include the other
    virtual worlds, it's infinite.
[21:13] A
    So don't tell me you're satisfied.
[21:18] Z
    Over the past three years,
[21:19] ---
    we had a lot of different adventures,
    in a lot of different worlds.
[21:23] Z
    I want the last page to be the
    adventure I had with you.
[21:28] A
    But there are things you want to do,
[21:31] ---
    places you want to see, right?
[21:37] Z
    That's right.
[21:39] Z
    I want to go to school.
[21:41] A
    S-School?
[21:43] Z
    I'm sorry, I know it's impossible!
[21:46] Z
    I'm really glad you feel that way.
[21:49] Z
    But I really am satisfied.
[21:58] A
    You might be able to go...
[22:01] A
    You might be able to go to school!

    Excuse me!
[03:06] A
    About what I told you yesterday...
[03:09] Gu
    It's fine.
[03:11] Gu
    So, what's this student's name?
[03:15] Z
    It's Yuuki. Konno Yuuki.
[03:19] Gu
    Konno-san, come for classes whenever you like.
[03:23] Gu
    Starting today, we're reading
    Akutagawa's "The Truck."
[03:26] Gu
    It's boring unless you go all the way to the end.
[03:29] Z
    O-Okay... Thank you!
[03:32] Gu
    Sure.
[03:35] A
    Thanks.
[03:58] A
    Yuuki-san, is that...
[04:00] Z
    How do you know my name?
[04:02] A
    No...
[04:04] A
    It's my last name.
[04:05] Z
    Oh, right! Sorry, sorry!
[04:07] A
    This is Konno Yuuki-san.
[04:09] A
    Right now, she can't leave the hospital,
[04:12] A
    so she decided to attend class like this, with us.
[04:15] Z
    I'm Yuuki.

SIGN    Akutagawa Ryuunosuke
    
    "The Truck"
[04:46] Gu
    Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's "The Truck."
[04:50] Gu
    Let's start by reading it.
[04:53] Gu
    Konno Yuuki-san, can you do it?
[04:57] Z
    Huh?!
[04:58] ---
    U-Um...
[05:01] ---
    You can't?
[05:02] Z
    I c-can read it.
[05:07] A
    Yuuki, can you read it?
[05:10] Z
    Of course.
[05:11] Z
    I've done a lot of studying on my own.
[05:19] Z
    "The construction of a rail line
    between Odawara and Atami
[05:24] ---
    began when Ryouhei was eight.
[05:27] Z
    Every day, Ryouhei would leave the village
[05:29] ---
    to go and watch the construction.
[05:31] Z
    More specifically, the trucks carrying the dirt.
[05:37] ---
    That was what he wanted to see.
[05:40] Z
    Two workmen rode on the truck,
    behind the pile of dirt.
[05:45] Z
    Since the truck was descending a mountain,
[05:48] ---
    it didn't need anyone's help to move.
[05:50] Z
    The chassis would shake from the speed,
[05:53] ---
    the cuffs of the laborers' jackets would flap,
[05:55] Z
    and the tiny road would bend and twist.
[05:58] Z
    Ryouhei would watch it go,
[06:01] ---
    and sometimes he'd think
    he'd like to be a laborer.
[06:04] Z
    At least, he would sometimes think
[06:06] ---
    he wanted to ride the truck with the laborers."
[06:14] Gi
    You're so good at reading, Yuuki-san!
[06:16] Gi
    Hey, have you already gone around the school?
[06:18] Gi
    We'll show you around.
[06:20] A
    W-Wait a second...
[06:21] Gu
    Hey, are you into soccer?
[06:24] Z
    Thanks, everyone.
[06:26] Z
    That was fun.
[06:28] A
    I'm glad.
[06:30] Z
    Asuna, thanks so much for today.
[06:33] Z
    It was so much fun.
[06:35] Z
    I'll never forget this.
[06:42] A
    What are you saying?
[06:44] A
    The teacher said you can come every day.
[06:47] A
    Tomorrow's Modern Japanese
    class goes until third period.
[06:49] A
    Don't be late.
[06:51] Z
    Yeah.
[06:52] A
    Anyway, is there anything else you want to see?
[06:56] Z
    Um...
[06:58] Z
    Actually, there is one place.
[07:01] A
    Where?
[07:08] A
    This town is so pretty, Yuuki...
[07:11] A
    The sky is so clear.
[07:13] Z
    Yeah. I'm sorry, Asuna.
[07:16] Z
    It was really selfish of me to ask this.
[07:18] Z
    Is it okay for you not to go home?
[07:20] A
    It's fine.
[07:21] A
    I sent them a text message.
[07:23] A
    So where do you want to go, Yuuki?
[07:25] Z
    Well...
[07:43] A
    Is Tsukimidai around here?
[07:46] Z
    Yeah.
[07:47] Z
    When you turn up ahead,
    stop beside the white house.
[07:59] A
    This is your house, right?
[08:02] Z
    Yeah.
[08:04] Z
    I never thought I'd see it again.
[08:08] Z
    Thank you, Asuna, for bringing me here.
[08:12] A
    Want to go inside?
[08:14] Z
    No, this is plenty.
[08:17] Z
    Okay, we need to go home, or you'll be late.
[08:20] A
    I still have a little time.
[08:26] A
    I only lived here for less than a year.
[08:30] A
    But I remember each day so well.
[08:35] A
    I'd always run around that garden with my sister.
[08:39] A
    We'd have barbecues, and one time,
    I made a bookcase with my dad!
[08:43] A
    It was so much fun.
[08:45] A
    That's really nice...
[08:46] Z
    But they're tearing down this house.
[08:50] A
    Why?
[08:51] Z
    My grandma says she wants to either sell it
     or turn it into a convenience store.
[08:55] A
    But...
[08:56] Z
    So I wanted to see it one final time.
[09:00] A
    Then let's do this.
[09:02] A
    You're fifteen now, right?
[09:05] A
    When you're sixteen, marry someone you like.
[09:08] A
    And then they'll protect this house forever.
[09:14] Z
    Asuna, that's crazy!
[09:17] Z
    But too bad... I don't think
    I have anyone I could marry.
[09:20] A
    N-No?
[09:22] A
    You were getting along well with Jun.
[09:24] Z
    No way, he's such a kid!
[09:27] Z
    Hmm...
[09:29] Z
    I know... Asuna, want to marry me?
[09:33] Z
    But you'll have to be the wife.
[09:36] Z
    Otherwise, my name will be "Yuuki Yuuki."
[09:42] A
    B-But I don't think two girls...
[09:44] Z
    Sorry, sorry. It was a joke.
[09:46] Z
    You already have someone
    you care about, don't you?
[09:49] A
    Well... Yeah...
[09:52] Z
    You should be careful.
[09:54] Z
    I get the feeling that he lives outside
    reality in a different way than I do.
[10:00] Z
    Thank you so much, Asuna.
[10:03] Z
    I'm really satisfied that I got
    to see this house again.
[10:08] Z
    When I lived in that house,
[10:11] ---
    my mother would always say
    this to me after prayers,
[10:17] ---
    "God does not give us more
    suffering than we can bear."
[10:24] ---
    But I was a little dissatisfied with that.
[10:27] ---
    I always wanted to hear her words, not the Bible's.
[10:35] ---
    But seeing this house again, I understand.
[10:40] ---
    It wasn't the words themselves.
[10:41] ---
    Mom was surrounding me with her feelings.
[10:44] ---
    She was always praying, so that I could keep
[10:48] ---
    moving forward until the end.
[10:51] ---
    I finally understand that.
[10:55] A
    I...
[10:56] A
    I haven't been able to hear my mother's
    voice for a long time, either.
[11:00] A
    Even when I face her and talk
    to her, I can't hear her voice.
[11:04] A
    And she doesn't hear what I'm saying.
[11:07] A
    Before, you said that there
[11:09] ---
    are things you can only share by fighting.
[11:13] A
    How can I be strong like you?
[11:17] Z
    I'm not strong... Not at all.
[11:20] A
    That isn't true.
[11:21] A
    You don't get scared by, or flinch at,
    what other people feel like I do.
[11:26] A
    You don't ever do that.
[11:29] A
    You seem so natural.
[11:32] Z
    But you know,
[11:33] Z
    when I was in the real world,
[11:36] Z
    I was always pretending to be someone I wasn't.
[11:40] Z
    I always thought I had to act cheerful,
[11:42] ---
    so Mom and Dad wouldn't be sad.
[11:46] A
    Yuuki...
[11:48] Z
    But I think it's fine to act.
[11:52] Z
    If that means you spend more time smiling,
[11:55] Z
    it's just fine.
[11:58] Z
    I don't have much time left, you know.
[12:01] Z
    It feels like I don't have time to waste on stuff.
[12:06] Z
    I always say exactly what I'm feeling,
[12:09] Z
    and if they don't like me, that's fine!
[12:12] Z
    It doesn't change the fact that
    I was close to their hearts.
[12:17] A
    You're right.
[12:19] A
    That was the reason we got
    so close in only a few days.
[12:25] Z
    No, that wasn't me.
[12:28] Z
    It was because, even when I ran,
    you tried your hardest to catch me.
[12:33] Z
    So why not talk to your mom like you did to me?
[12:38] Z
    If you try to share how you feel,
[12:40] Z
    I think you'll be able to.
[12:44] Z
    It's okay.
[12:46] Z
    You're a lot stronger than I am!
[12:48] Z
    It's true!
[12:52] A
    Yuuki...
[12:55] Z
    You hit me with everything you had,
[12:58] Z
    so I decided I could trust you
    with everything I had!
[13:04] A
    Thank you.
[13:05] A
    Thank you, Yuuki...
[13:24] Z
    If you try to share how you feel,
[13:26] Z
    I think you'll be able to.
[13:29] Z
    It's okay.
[13:30] Z
    You can do it, Asuna!
[13:36] K
    Come in.
[13:50] K
    You're late.
[13:52] A
    I'm sorry.
[13:53] K
    If you want something to eat,
[13:55] K
    take something from the fridge.
[13:58] K
    Tomorrow's the last day for that
    transfer test I told you about.
[14:03] K
    Have the paperwork ready by morning.
[14:05] A
    About that...
[14:09] A
    I need to talk to you, Mom.
[14:12] K
    Out with it.
[14:13] A
    It's hard to explain here.
[14:15] K
    Then where can you say it?
[14:21] A
    The virtual world.
[14:23] A
    It doesn't have to be for long,
[14:25] A
    but I want you to come somewhere with me.
[14:29] K
    No!
[14:30] K
    I don't want to hear something
    you can't say face-to-face.
[14:35] A
    Please, Mother!
[14:36] A
    There's something I really want to show you!
[14:38] A
    Just five minutes!
[14:41] A
    Please.
[14:42] A
    Right here, I can't tell you what
    I'm thinking and what I feel.
[14:49] A
    It doesn't have to be more than once.
[14:50] A
    I want you to see my world!
[15:00] K
    Just five minutes.
[15:03] K
    But no matter what you say,
[15:05] K
    I have no intention of letting you
    attend that school next year.
[15:10] K
    And when we're done, you're filling
    out that paperwork.
[15:14] A
    All right.
[15:16] K
    What do I do with this?
[15:22] A
    Get into a position where you can relax.
[15:24] A
    Once I turn on the power, it will automatically
    connect to my sub-account.
[15:31] A
    Once you're inside, wait for me.
[15:34] A
    I'll turn on the power.
[15:46] A
    Link start!
[16:03] K
    This is pretty strange.
[16:06] K
    Having a face that isn't yours move when you do.
[16:10] K
    And I feel strangely light.
[16:12] A
    Of course you do...
[16:14] A
    That avatar's weight is set
    at forty kilograms or so.
[16:18] A
    It should be very different than your real weight.
[16:20] K
    That's rude.
[16:21] K
    I'm not that heavy.
[16:24] K
    Come to think of it, you look the same
    as you do on the other side.
[16:28] A
    Yeah, I guess.
[16:30] K
    But the real thing seems a little pudgier.
[16:34] A
    Now you're being rude, Mom!
[16:36] A
    It's the exact same as reality!
[16:42] K
    You're running out of time.
[16:44] K
    What did you want to show me?
[16:45] A
    Come here.
[17:17] A
    Well? Don't you think it looks really similar?
[17:19] K
    Really similar to what?
[17:22] K
    They're just some stupid cedar trees—
[17:26] A
    Doesn't it remind you of Grandma
    and Grandpa's house?
[17:34] A
    I loved my grandma and grandpa's house in Miyagi.
[18:05] A
    Do you remember what happened over
    Obon, when I was in seventh grade?
[18:09] A
    You and the rest of the family went to Kyoto,
[18:11] A
    but I went to Miyagi on my own.
[18:15] K
    I do.
[18:17] A
    I apologized to Grandma and Grandpa then.
[18:21] A
    "I'm sorry that Mom can't
    come to visit the graves."
[18:24] K
    There was a service I absolutely had
    to attend with the main family.
[18:30] A
    No, I'm not blaming you.
[18:33] A
    Grandpa said that you were their treasure.
[18:45] A
    You left the village, went to school,
    became an academic,
[18:48] A
    contributed to lots of magazines,
    and kept getting bigger and bigger.
[18:52] A
    That made them really happy.
[18:55] A
    After that, Grandpa added,
[18:58] A
    "But someday, your mom might
    get tired and want to stop."
[19:04] A
    And said that they would protect the
    mountain and the house forever,
[19:11] A
    so if you ever wanted a place to go, you had one.
[19:21] A
    Lately, I finally think I understand
    what he was saying.
[19:28] A
    Life isn't just about doing things for yourself.
[19:32] A
    It's possible to live in such a way
    that other people's happiness
[19:36] ---
    makes you happy, too.
[19:40] A
    I want to live in a way that makes
    all the people around me happy.
[19:46] A
    I want to live in a way that lets
    me support those around me
[19:49] ---
    when they get tired.
[19:52] A
    And for that,
[19:53] ---
    I want to keep doing my best
[19:56] ---
    with my studies and other
    things at the school I love!
[20:22] A
    Mom?
[20:23] K
    Hey, what is this?
[20:26] K
    I'm not crying...
[20:30] A
    Mom...
[20:32] A
    In this world, you can't hide your tears.
[20:35] A
    When you want to cry, you can't stifle it.
[20:40] K
    What an inconvenient world.
[21:15] A
    Good morning, Mom.
[21:16] K
    Good morning.
[21:21] K
    You're prepared to support someone
    for the rest of your life, aren't you?
[21:28] A
    But to do that, you have to be strong yourself.
[21:35] A
    You need to go to university.
[21:37] A
    And for that,
[21:39] ---
    you need to raise your grades for
    third trimester and next year.
[21:44] K
    Mom...
[21:45] A
    Then I don't have to transfer?
[21:47] K
    I told you...
[21:49] K
    That depends on your grades.
[21:53] K
    Work hard.
[22:00] A
    Thank you, Mom...
[22:04] A
    Thank you, Yuuki.
[22:12] A
    I'll be back.

[03:29] Gu
    I'm glad you made it in time.
[03:32] Gu
    Forty minutes ago, her heart stopped once.
[03:36] Gu
    We restored her pulse with
    a defibrillator and drugs,
[03:39] Gu
    but the next time it happens...
[03:40] A
    Why? Why?!
[03:43] A
    Yuuki's still...
[03:46] Gu
    To tell you the truth, since your visit in January,
[03:50] ---
    this could have happened at any time.
[03:53] Gu
    But for the past three months,
    she's worked so hard, it's astonished us.
[03:59] Gu
    She's kept winning an impossible
    battle, day after day.
[04:02] Gu
    For Yuuki-kun,
[04:04] ---
    her fifteen years of life have been one long battle.
[04:09] Gu
    It wasn't only the HIV.
[04:11] Gu
    For a long time, she's been
    fighting a harsh reality.
[04:16] Gu
    The Medicuboid's clinical trials
[04:18] ---
    must have caused her an
    incredible amount of pain.
[04:21] Gu
    But she fought hard anyway.
[04:25] Gu
    So, now let's let her rest.
[04:31] A
    Yuuki...
[04:32] A
    Yuuki won't lose, right?
[04:35] A
    Because you're Zekken!

[04:53] Gu
    Asuna-san,
[04:55] ---
    please hold her hand.
[05:03] A
    Doctor, can you use the Medicuboid right now?
[05:07] Gu
    But she said she wanted to spend
    her last moments outside it.
[05:10] A
    No, she wants to go back
    to that world once more.
[05:13] A
    Please! Let her use the Medicuboid!
[05:23] A
    It will take a minute to boot up.
[05:25] A
    What will you do?
[05:26] A
    I'll use the Amusphere in the next room!
[05:31] A
    Wait! I'm coming!
[05:56] Z
    Thank you, Asuna...
[05:58] Z
    I forgot something important.
[06:02] Z
    I need to give you something.
[06:04] A
    What did you want to give me?
[06:08] Z
    Hold on...
[06:09] Z
    I'll make it now. Hold on a second.
[06:51] A
    Yuuki?!
[07:01] Z
    It's strange...
[07:02] A
    It doesn't hurt, and it's not painful.
[07:05] A
    But for some reason, I feel so weak.
[07:08] A
    It's okay.
[07:09] A
    You're just a little tired.
[07:11] A
    If you rest, it'll get better.
[07:14] Z
    Yeah.
[07:14] Z
    Asuna, take this...
[07:18] Z
    It's my Original Sword Skill.
[07:22] A
    You're giving it to me?
[07:24] Z
    I want you to have it.
[07:27] Z
    Now open the window.
[07:40] A
    The skill is called "Mother's Rosario."
[07:45] A
    I'm sure it will protect you.
[07:51] Z
    Thank you, Yuuki.
[07:54] Z
    I promise...
[07:55] Z
    Even if I leave this world someday,
[08:00] Z
    I'll pass the skill on to someone else.
[08:04] Z
    Your blade will never disappear.
[08:07] Z
    Yeah. Thanks.
[08:19] Z
    What?

    We aren't saying goodbye.

    We're here to cheer you up.

[08:37] Z
    What are you talking about?
[08:40] Z
    If you come too soon,
[08:41] Z
    I'll be mad.
[08:44] Gi
    No, no.
[08:45] Gi
    You can't do anything without us.
[08:48] Gi
    You need to...

[10:09] Z
    I'm not upset at all.
[10:13] Z
    But why?
[10:15] Z
    Why are there so many?
[10:18] Z
    Am I dreaming?
[10:20] A
    Because... Because...
[10:24] A
    Yuuki, you're the strongest
    swordsman in this world.
[10:29] A
    There will never be someone as good as you.
[10:33] A

[10:49] Z
    I'm so happy.
[10:57] Z
    I always... I always wondered...
[11:01] Z
    I was born to die,
[11:04] Z
    so what was my reason for existing in the world?
[11:08] Z
    Without creating anything,
    or giving anything to anyone.
[11:12] Z
    Wasting so much machinery and medicine,
[11:15] Z
    causing the people around me trouble...
[11:18] Z
    Suffering, worrying...
[11:21] Z
    And if I were just going to disappear in the end,
[11:24] Z
    it would be better to die right now.
[11:27] Z
    I thought that so many times.
[11:31] Z
    "Why am I alive?" I wondered for so long...
[11:37] Z
    But... But...
[11:40] Z
    I finally feel like I've found the answer.
[11:46] Z
    Even if there's no reason,
[11:48] Z
    it's okay for me to be alive.
[11:51] Z
    Because my last moments are of such fulfillment.
[11:59] Z
    I can end my journey surrounded
    by so many people,
[12:06] Z
    in the arms of the person I love.
[12:11] A

[12:13] A
    I'll see you again.

[12:19] A
    in some other world.
[12:21] A
    We'll see each other again.
[12:24] A
    When I see you, tell me what you found.

    But what you carved into my heart is still here.
[13:58] Gi
    Hello, Asuna-san.
[14:05] A
    Are you Siune-san?
[14:07] Gi
    Yes, that's right.
[14:09] Gi
    My real name is An Shiun.
[14:11] Gi
    It's been a long time.
[14:12] A
    O-Oh, nice to meet you, too!
[14:15] A
    I'm Yuuki Asuna!
[14:17] A
    It's been about a week.
[14:24] Gi
    I'm all right.
[14:25] Gi
    Just this month, April,
    they're finally letting me leave.
[14:29] A
    Then you're doing better?
[14:31] ---
    Yes.
[14:33] Gi
    My disease is called acute lymphocytic leukemia.
[14:38] Gi
    It started three years ago.
[14:41] Gi
    The side effects of the medicine are horrible,
[14:43] Gi
    and so many times, I was ready to give up.
[14:47] Gi
    But each time I met Yuuki,
[14:49] Gi
    she always cheered me up by saying
    I was much older than she,
[14:52] Gi
    so why was I crying?
[14:54] Gi
    But around February, the amount of medicine
[14:58] ---
    I was getting began to decrease,
[15:01] Gi
    and I thought it was time.
[15:03] Gi
    But one month ago,
[15:05] Gi
    the day after I said goodbye to Yuuki,
[15:07] Gi
    the doctor said the disease
    was in complete remission.
[15:13] Gi
    And then, I actually left the hospital,
[15:16] ---
    without really knowing what was happening.
[15:19] Gi
    It still doesn't feel like I'm better.
[15:23] Gi
    And...
[15:24] Gi
    Yuuki's waiting, so I don't know if it's okay
    for me to be the only one still here.
[15:30] Gi
    Yuuki, Ran-san, Clovis, and Merida...
[15:33] Gi
    We promised to always be together.
[15:36] Gi
    I... I...
[15:39] A
    Shiun-san,
[15:41] A
    lately, I've been thinking that life
[15:44] ---
    is something in which to carry
    and share your heart.
[15:48] A
    For a long time, I was scared.
[15:51] A
    Scared of sharing my feelings,
    and of knowing how others felt.
[15:56] A
    But Yuuki told me that isn't right.
[16:00] A
    If I don't try to touch them, nothing will happen.
[16:05] A
    I want to share the strength I learned
    from Yuuki with a lot of people.
[16:09] A
    I want to carry Yuuki's heart a long way,
[16:12] A
    as long as I can keep walking.
[16:14] A
    And someday, when I see her again,
[16:17] A
    I want to give many hearts back to her.
[16:21] A
    That's what I think.
[16:24] Gi
    Thank you, Asuna-san.
[16:31] Gi
    We're very grateful to you.
[16:37] Gi
    I was worried about Yuuki.
[16:39] Gi
    She was carrying so many things
    on her little shoulders.
[16:44] Gi
    But then, you appeared.
[16:49] Gi
    When she was with you,
[16:51] Gi
    she looked like she was having so much fun.
[16:53] Gi
    She was like a little bird
     who'd remembered how to fly.
[16:57] Gi
    She's flown beyond our reach now, though.
[17:05] Gi
    Jun says the medicine he's been taking recently
[17:08] ---
    has been working very well.

    It's like Yuuki is saying
     it's too early for him to join her.
[17:17] Gi
    It'll be a long time before the
    Sleeping Knights are together.
[17:21] A
    Next time, I'm planning on having
    you make me a full member.
[17:29] K
    Hey.
[17:31] K
    There you are.
[17:32] K
    Am I interrupting?
[17:34] A
    No...
[17:35] A
    Huh, you two know each other?
[17:37] K
    Yeah, we've been exchanging e-mails on that
    communication probe I told you about.
[17:42] Gu
    That's right.
[17:44] Gu
    We're talking about whether it can be used
     for medical full-dive technology.
[17:49] A
    I see.
[17:51] A
    Come to think of it, what will happen
    with the Medicuboid tests?
[17:56] Gu
    Oh, we've already gotten far
    more test data than we need.
[18:02] Gu
    Patients all over Japan will soon...
[18:05] Gu
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[18:07] Gu
    I forgot the first thing I should have said.
[18:09] Gu
    An-san, congratulations on leaving the hospital.
[18:12] Gu
    I can't imagine how happy Yuuki-kun must be.
[18:16] Gi
    Thank you.
[18:18] Gi
    It makes me happy when I think how
[18:20] ---
    the data Yuuki left behind is helping so
    many who are fighting their diseases.
[18:26] Gu
    Really.
[18:27] Gu
    I think her name will live forever as
[18:30] ---
    the first one to test that device.
[18:33] Gu
    She should get some kind of amazing award,
[18:35] ---
    like with the external helper who
    gave us the initial device designs.
[18:39] Gi
    I don't think that would make her happy.
[18:43] Gi
    She'd say she couldn't eat it.
[18:49] A
    Um, doctor...
[18:51] A
    Did you mention an external helper
    who gave you initial designs?
[18:55] A
    Wasn't it designed by a medical device manufacturer?
[18:57] Gu
    Well, you see...
[19:00] Gu
    The initial designs were offered
    for free by an outside helper.
[19:03] Gu
    I think her name was Professor Koujirou Rinko...
[19:13] A
    Wh-What's wrong, Kirito-kun?
[19:15] K
    I know that name...
[19:18] K
    I've met her.
[19:20] K
    She was the person who took care of
    Heathcliff's body while he was diving.
[19:25] K
    She was working on
[19:27] ---
    full-device technology at the same lab.
[19:30] K
    In other words, the real person
    who invented the basic design
[19:33] ---
    for the Medicuboid was...
[19:35] A
    The guild leader, Kayaba Akihiko.
[21:31] Gu
    I'll put the lunches here.
[21:33] Su
    Okay, thanks.
[21:35] K
    Huh? Isn't she cute?
[21:38] Gi
    This is for you, Sinon-san.
[21:40] S
    Thanks!
[21:41] K
    Huh? I think she's cute!
[21:43] Gi
    You know, when you come with everyone, it's fun.
[21:45] Gi
    Yeah.
[21:46] Gi
    The sakura blossoms are very pretty.
[21:49] K
    They're mostly gone now, though.
[21:50] A
    You don't need to say that!
[21:53] A
    But we really were able
    to come here with Yui-chan.
[21:57] K
    I didn't think we'd be able to do it so fast.
[21:59] Y
    Thank you, Daddy.
[22:01] A
    Thank you, Kirito-kun.
[22:03] K
    No, it's thanks to Yuuki helping me.
[22:15] K
    I thought that the closer the
    real and virtual world got,
[22:19] K
    the better the future would be.
[22:23] K
    But the more the boundary between them blurs,
[22:27] K
    the more it starts to trick people.
[22:30] Y
    But it also saves many people.
[22:34] K
    I don't know what that man who disappeared
    into the cyber-world thought,
[22:39] K
    but as the survivors of that world,
[22:41] ---
    we have a duty to see what happens.
[22:44] A
    Aren't you overthinking it?
[22:46] K
    Maybe.
[22:47] K
    But I want to see for myself.
[22:51] K
    After everything that's happened,
    that feeling has become stronger.
[22:54] K
    I don't like the feeling that I'm
    being manipulated, though.
[23:00] K
    So...
[23:02] K
    I don't know what the future will hold.
[23:04] K
    However, Asuna,
[23:06] K
    I want you to be with me forever.
[23:08] K
    And I want to be with you forever.
[23:10] A
    Yeah.
[23:11] A
    I'll follow you to the other side of the world!
[23:14] K
    That's a bit more extreme than I was thinking...
[23:17] Y
    I'll follow you, also!
[23:19] Gi
    Hey! You two!
[23:22] Gi
    We're all going to take a picture!
[23:24] Gi
    Get over here!
[23:27] Gi
    Hurry! Hurry!
[23:29] K
    Okay, let's go.
[23:31] Y
    Okay, Daddy.
