[00:02] K
Yui, use this.
[00:07] Y
Transcribing code.
[00:09] Y
It's going to teleport us.
[00:10] Y
Daddy, your hand!
[00:18] Y
Daddy...
[00:20] Y
Daddy!
[00:22] K
Yui?
[00:23] K
Where are we?
[00:24] Y
I don't know.
[00:26] Y
There's no mapping data.
[00:29] K
Do you know where Asuna is?
[00:30] ---
Yes.
[00:32] Y
She's close...
[00:33] Y
Very close.
[00:36] Y
This way!
[01:07] K
This is the top of the World Tree?
[01:13] K
There's no Floating City up here...
[01:17] K
Some Grand Quest!
[01:19] K
Everything was a lie.
[01:21] K
I won't let him get away with this!
[01:24] K
Oh, right...
[01:26] K
Gotta save Asuna first.

[03:35] Y
Mommy!
[03:39] Y
Mommy!
[03:50] Y
Mommy!
[03:53] A
Yui-chan!
[03:55] Y
Mommy...
[03:57] A
Yui-chan...
[04:01] Y
Mommy...
[04:02] Y
Mommy!
[04:16] A
Kirito-kun.
[04:19] K
Asuna.
[04:25] K
I'm sorry I'm late.
[04:28] A
No, I knew...
[04:30] A
I knew you'd come to save me.
[04:38] K
Now, let's go home.
[04:42] A
Yeah.
[04:44] ---
Yui, can you log out Asuna?
[04:48] A
Mommy's status is locked
down by complicated codes.
[04:52] A
We'll need a system console to dispel them.
[04:55] A
I think I saw one in the lab.
[05:01] A
What?
[05:08] A
Yui...
[05:09] A
What is this?
[05:13] Y
Daddy! Mommy!
[05:15] Y
Be careful...
[05:17] Y
Something bad is coming.
[05:21] A
Yui-chan!
[05:21] K
Yui!
[05:28] K
Asuna...
[05:38] Su
What a surprise...
[05:40] Su
I didn't expect to see
[05:42] Su
a cockroach in my little bird's cage.
[05:45] K
You're...
[05:46] K
Sugou?
[05:50] Su
I'd prefer you not use that
name in this world.
[05:53] Su
Call me His Highness, Fairy King Oberon!
[05:59] A
Kirito-kun!
[06:01] A
Well?
[06:02] A
You can't move, can you?
[06:04] A
This is gravity magic,
coming out in the next patch.
[06:08] A
Maybe it's a little overpowered?
[06:10] A
Stop it...
[06:11] A
You coward!
[06:13] S
That said, Kirigaya-kun...
[06:15] S
Or do you prefer Kirito-kun?
[06:19] S
How did you get up here?
[06:22] S
I saw a strange program running.
[06:25] K
I flew with these wings...
[06:30] Su
It doesn't matter.
[06:32] Su
I can just ask your mind directly.
[06:36] K
What?
[06:37] Su
You didn't really think
[06:39] Su
I set this entire thing up for fun, did you?
[06:45] Su
Three hundred former SAO players...
[06:48] Su
Thanks to their cooperation,
[06:51] ---
the fundamental technology for
emotion and thought control
[06:54] ---
is already eighty percent complete.
[06:57] Su
I'll achieve what no one ever has,
control of the human soul!
[07:02] ---
The power of a god!
[07:03] Su
And soon, that power will be mine!
[07:06] Su
Three cheers for virtual reality!
[07:13] K
Sugou!
[07:15] A
You'll never get away with this.
[07:17] A
Never!
[07:19] Su
Who's going to stop me?
[07:22] Su
Sadly, there's no god in this world.
[07:25] Su
Except for me!
[07:28] Su
Now, before I begin altering your souls,
[07:32] ---
let's have a fun party!
[07:44] K
You bastard, what are you...
[08:05] Su
Yes!
[08:09] Su
Great! I love it!
[08:12] Su
NPC women can't make that face...
[08:21] Su
I love this smell.
[08:23] Su
Replicating your scent from
the real world was hard.
[08:28] Su
I hope you appreciate how much work it took
[08:31] ---
to get an analyzer into your hospital room...
[08:35] K
Stop it.
[08:37] K
Sugou...
[08:42] Su
My, my...
[08:44] Su
You need to stay on the ground...
[08:46] Su
Writhing!
[08:53] A
Kirito-kun!
[08:58] Su
System command!
[09:00] Su
Change pain absorber
[09:01] ---
from level 10 to level 8.
[09:08] Su
Hurts, doesn't it?
[09:09] Su
I'll gradually let the pain increase,
[09:11] ---
so you have something to look forward to.
[09:13] Su
Of course, below level 3,
[09:16] ---
it will start to affect your physical body.
[09:20] Su
Now, then...
[09:26] K
Stop it, Sugou...
[09:29] A
I'm okay, Kirito-kun.
[09:31] A
This won't hurt me.
[09:36] Su
That's what I hoped you'd say...
[09:38] Su
How long will you maintain your pride?
[09:40] Su
Thirty minutes? An hour?
[09:42] Su
Try to hold on to it as long as you can!
[10:03] Su
Shall I tell you what I'm thinking?
[10:08] Su
Once I've had my fun here,
[10:11] ---
I'll go to your hospital room.
[10:13] Su
I'll play a recording of today on a big monitor,
[10:17] ---
and we can enjoy ourselves.
[10:22] Su
With your real body.
[10:37] Su
S-Sweet...
[10:39] Su
So sweet!
[10:41] K
Sugou, you bastard!
[10:44] K
You bastard!
[10:54] K
You bastard, I'll kill you!
[10:56] K
I'm going to kill you!
[11:12] K
Is this my punishment?
[11:16] K
For thinking that I was the
game's strongest hero?
[11:20] ---
That I could save Asuna alone?
[11:24] K
Even though
[11:26] K
I have no power at all...
[11:34] ?
Are you going to run away?
[11:38] ?
Are you going to run away?
[11:40] K
No...
[11:42] K
I'm going to accept reality.
[11:44] ?
Then you give in to it.
[11:45] ?
To the power of a system you once denied.
[11:49] K
I don't have a choice.
[11:51] K
I'm a player, and he's a GM.
[11:55] ?
Those words make a mockery of our battle.
[11:59] ?
Our fight showed me the
power of the human will.
[12:03] ---
And the possibilities held by the future.
[12:07] K
You're...
[12:11] ?
Stand up, Kirito-kun!
[12:27] K
Your attacks have no soul...
[12:30] K
The blades in that world hit harder...
[12:35] K
They hurt far more!
[12:44] Su
I guess some odd bugs are still left.
[12:51] K
System login...
[12:53] ---
ID Heathcliff.
[12:55] Su
Wh-What?
[12:57] Su
What is that ID?!
[12:59] K
System command.
[13:00] K
Enable administrator privileges.
[13:02] K
Set ID Oberon to level 1.
[13:07] Su
Your ID outranks mine?
[13:09] Su
That's impossible!
[13:11] Su
I am the ruler!
[13:12] Su
The creator!
[13:13] Su
King of this world!
[13:15] Su
Its God!
[13:16] K
No, you're not.
[13:18] K
You stole this world...
[13:21] K
And its people.
[13:22] K
You're a king of thieves,
[13:24] K
alone upon a stolen throne!
[13:27] Su
Y-You stupid kid...
[13:29] Su
How dare you
[13:30] Su
talk to me like that?!
[13:33] K
System command!
[13:35] K
Generate object ID Excalibur.
[13:40] K
Listen to me,
[13:42] K
you piece of crap!
[13:43] K
These...
[13:44] K
These are God's orders!
[13:46] A
Just wait a little more, okay?
[13:49] A
This won't take long.
[13:54] A
System command!
[13:56] A
Generate object ID Excalibur!
[14:01] A
So, a single command is all it takes
to summon a legendary weapon?
[14:14] A
It's time to finish this fight.
[14:16] A
Between the king of thieves
[14:18] A
and a gilded hero!
[14:21] ---
System command.
[14:22] ---
Set pain absorber to level 0.
[14:26] Su
Wh-What?
[14:27] K
Don't run away.
[14:29] K
He never did, no matter what happened!
[14:33] K
Not Kayaba Akihiko!
[14:35] Su
K-Kaya...
[14:37] Su
Kayaba!
[14:39] Su
I see...
[14:40] Su
That ID was...
[14:42] Su
Why?
[14:43] Su
Why do you interfere with me,
even after death?!
[14:47] Su
You're always this way!
[14:48] Su
Thinking you know everything!
[14:51] Su
Taking everything I want!
[14:53] K
Sugou...
[14:54] K
I understand how you feel a little bit.
[14:57] K
I also lost to him,
[14:58] K
and then I had to work for him.
[15:01] K
However, I never wanted to be him.
[15:06] K
Unlike you...
[15:08] Su
You stupid kid!
[15:19] Su
Damn it all!
[15:24] Su
That hurt!
[15:27] K
Painful, isn't it?
[15:30] K
But you've hurt Asuna
[15:32] K
far more!
[15:40] Su
My hand!
[15:42] Su
My hand!
[16:35] K
I believed in you.
[16:38] K
No, I still do.
[16:40] K
I always have and always will.
[16:42] K
That you're my hero.
[16:44] K
That you'll always save me.
[16:48] K
That isn't true.
[16:49] K
I...
[16:51] K
I don't have any power at all.
[16:57] K
But I'll do my best to be that way.
[17:01] A
Yeah.
[17:04] K
Now, let's go home.
[17:09] K
It's probably night at home.
[17:12] K
But I'll go to your room soon.
[17:15] A
I'll be waiting.
[17:17] A
You're the first person I want to see.
[17:23] A
It's finally over, isn't it?
[17:25] A
We can return to the real world.
SIGN Logging out will terminate all services.
[17:29] K
That's right.
[17:31] K
You'll be surprised how much has changed.
[17:35] A
Let's go to all kinds of places,
[17:37] A
and do all kinds of things.
[17:39] K
Yeah, we will.
[18:09] K
Everything is over now.
[18:13] K
Isn't it?
[18:16] K
You're there, aren't you, Heathcliff?
[18:20] H
It's been a long time, Kirito-kun.
[18:23] K
You're alive?
[18:25] H
You could say that,
[18:26] H
or you could say I'm not.
[18:28] H
I am an echo of the mind
that was Kayaba Akihiko.
[18:33] H
An afterimage.
[18:34] K
You never did make much sense.
[18:38] K
Well, I guess I'll thank you.
[18:41] H
No need for thanks.
[18:42] K
Why?
[18:43] H
We aren't so close that we'd
do anything for free.
[18:48] H
There is a price.
[18:50] H
Always.
[18:50] K
What do you want me to do?
[19:02] K
What's this?
[19:03] K
The beginning of a world.
[19:05] K
It's called The Seed.
[19:08] K
Once it buds, you'll understand what it is.
[19:11] K
I'll leave what to do then up to you.
[19:13] K
You can delete and completely forget it.
[19:16] K
However,
[19:17] K
if you have any feelings left for
that world besides hatred...
[19:25] K
I'll be going, then.
[19:27] K
I hope we meet again, Kirito-kun.
[19:37] K
Yui!
[19:38] K
Are you okay, Yui?
[19:40] Y
Daddy!
[19:42] K
You're safe!
[19:43] K
I'm so glad...
[19:44] Y
Yes.
[19:45] Y
I took shelter in your NerveGear's local memory.
[19:49] Y
Where's Mommy?
[19:50] K
She's back in the real world.
[19:54] Y
Really?
[19:56] Y
That's great!
[19:57] Y
I'm so glad...
[19:58] Y
I really am!
[20:00] K
We'll be back to visit soon.
[20:03] K
But what will happen to this world?
[20:07] Y
My core program is inside your NerveGear.
[20:11] Y
We're always together.
[20:13] K
Then I'll be going to see Mommy.
[20:17] Y
Okay, Daddy!
[20:19] Y
I love you!

I-I'm sorry...

You didn't come back, so I got worried.
[20:52] K
Sorry it took so long.
[20:55] S
Is it all over?
[20:57] K
Yeah, it is.
[20:59] K
Everything.
[21:02] S
That's great!
[21:07] K
Thank you...
[21:08] K
Thank you so much, Sugu.
[21:11] K
If it hadn't been for you,
I couldn't have done anything.
[21:15] S
No...
[21:20] S
I was happy
[21:22] S
that I was able to help you in your world.
[21:34] S
You got Asuna-san back, didn't you?
[21:37] K
Yeah, finally.
[21:40] K
She's finally back.
[21:42] K
Sugu, I...
[21:45] S
Go.
[21:47] S
I'm sure she's waiting for you.
[21:56] K
I-It's cold...
[22:00] S
Snow.

Be careful.

Say hi to Asuna-san for me.

Yeah, I'll introduce you for real soon.
