SWORD ART ONLINE THE MOVIE -PROGRESSIVE-
ARIA OF A STARLESS NIGHT
[03:42] Dialogue
Good morning, Miss Asuna.
[03:44] Dialogue
Good morning, Ms. Sada.
[03:46] Dialogue
Your breakfast is ready.
[03:49] Dialogue
Your father is at the table today as well.
[03:51] Dialogue
Really? Thanks!
[04:01] Dialogue
Morning!
[04:02] Dialogue
Morning, Brother.
[04:04] Dialogue
Morning, Asuna.
[04:06] Dialogue
Morning!
It's unusual you're still home, Dad.
[04:10] Dialogue
Well, you're late.
[04:12] Dialogue
Didn't I tell you to be at the table by 6:55?
[04:18] Dialogue
I'm sorry.
[04:22] Dialogue
How's school?
[04:24] Dialogue
It's going well.
[04:25] Dialogue
I got perfect scores on my math
and English midterms,
[04:29] Dialogue
and I might be one of the top-ranking students
they're announcing today.
[04:32] Dialogue
How could you not rank near the top
on your exams?
[04:35] Dialogue
Hardly any kids at your school are serious
about studying at this time of year.
[04:40] Dialogue
I got an A-ranking
on my cram school exams, too.
[04:43] Dialogue
My teacher says if I keep this up,
I'll be fine.
[04:46] Dialogue
So no worries.
[04:48] Dialogue
There you go,
letting your guard down.
[04:52] Dialogue
Now, now, it's fine as long as she's doing well.
[04:56] Dialogue
That reminds me.
Koichiro...
[04:58] Dialogue
About your overseas business trip—
[05:00] Dialogue
Everything is all ready.
[05:02] Dialogue
Remember, it's part
of the executive candidate selection process.
[05:05] Dialogue
So no cutting loose,
all right?
[05:07] Dialogue
You don't have to tell me.
[05:09] Dialogue
I'll be on my best behavior at night, too.
[05:11] Dialogue
Don't even think about bringing
that NerveGear with you.
[05:13] Dialogue
- Oh, why didn't I think of that?
- Asuna, hurry up and eat.
[05:16] Dialogue
- You'll be late.
- You really are something else, you know that?
[05:19] Dialogue
Thank you for this meal.
[05:25] Dialogue
I'll be going now.
[05:27] Dialogue
You have a good day, miss.
[05:28] Dialogue
Hey, Asuna!
[05:31] Dialogue
You heading out already?
[05:32] Dialogue
Yes.
[05:35] Dialogue
You're doing great,
you know.
[05:38] Dialogue
So don't push yourself too hard, okay?
[05:40] Dialogue
Right. I know.
[05:53] Dialogue
Hey, listen!
The score I got today was my personal best!
[05:56] Dialogue
The parts Ms. Yuuki helped us out with
came out on the exam!
[05:59] Dialogue
I'll follow you anywhere!
[06:01] Dialogue
Well, I'm glad that I was able to help.
[06:03] Dialogue
I saw your ranking, too.
Amazing again!
[06:06] Dialogue
I saw it, too! You've never fallen out
of the top ten since we started here!
[06:09] Dialogue
Why are we not surprised, right?
[06:11] Dialogue
Well, someone did get better grades than me.
[06:13] Dialogue
Hey, I hear you're leaving our school system
after junior high, right?
[06:16] Dialogue
What, is that true?
[06:18] Dialogue
Our high school's pretty top-notch,
too, so, wow!
[06:21] Dialogue
It's what my parents want.
[06:23] Dialogue
I can stay here till junior high, but I have to
take the entrance exams to get into high school.
[06:28] Dialogue
Wow...
[06:29] Dialogue
Listen to you!
Heading down the path of the super-elite.
[06:32] Dialogue
You're awesome!
[06:36] Dialogue
Good morning!
[06:46] Dialogue
Good morning!
[06:50] Dialogue
- Morning.
- Morning.
[06:51] Dialogue
Morning!
[06:57] Dialogue
- Morning!
- Morning!
[07:00] Dialogue
Ms. Tozawa was number one again
this time, huh?
[07:02] Dialogue
Yeah. Wonder what you'd have to do
to get great grades like her?
[07:06] Dialogue
Why don't you ask her?
[07:07] Dialogue
Not happening!
Just talking to her makes me nervous!
[07:11] Dialogue
You and Ms. Tozawa are close,
aren't you, Ms. Yuuki?
[07:14] Dialogue
- What?
- Lucky you!
[07:16] Dialogue
I guess you get along
since you're both top students?
[07:18] Dialogue
That's not really what it's like with us.
[07:21] Dialogue
But I bet you two are always discussing
really complex topics.
[07:24] Dialogue
Like the outlook for Japan,
or global issues and stuff?
[08:17] Dialogue
See you, Ms. Yuuki!
[08:18] Dialogue
Right, see you.
[08:36] Dialogue
I'm ready to end this now.
[08:38] Dialogue
What?
[08:41] Dialogue
I lost again!
[08:44] Dialogue
You're way too focused on defense, Asuna.
You need to attack more.
[08:49] Dialogue
But the commands for my special moves
are so complicated!
[08:56] Dialogue
I can't believe you can move
your fingers that fast, Misumi.
[08:59] Dialogue
Well, I'm constantly training.
[09:01] Dialogue
You mean you play at home, too?
[09:03] Dialogue
And at the arcade, too.
[09:05] Dialogue
Oh...
[09:10] FN
MISUMI TOZAWA
[09:13] Dialogue
That person's number one again.
[09:22] Dialogue
Misumi Tozawa.
[09:29] Dialogue
And she wins again!
[09:30] Dialogue
How many players has she taken down?
[09:32] Dialogue
Hey, is that a record for consecutive wins?
[09:34] Dialogue
And that player's a girl, no less!
[09:37] Dialogue
Come on, come on, come on!
[09:39] Dialogue
Come on, come on, come on!
[09:40] Dialogue
Ms. Tozawa?
[09:49] Dialogue
Um...
[09:54] Dialogue
You should've seen your face then!
[09:56] Dialogue
I really slipped up. Who knew
they were livestreaming it outside the shop?
[10:01] Dialogue
Why should you hide it? It's not that uncommon
for a girl to be into gaming now, right?
[10:07] Dialogue
Our school's different.
It's one thing if you're in the elementary course.
[10:10] Dialogue
You really think so?
[10:12] Dialogue
You're the only opponent I need, Asuna.
[10:15] Dialogue
As weak as I am?
[10:16] Dialogue
Yeah.
[10:22] Dialogue
Oh, that reminds me.
Hey, Asuna...
[10:27] Dialogue
NerveGear?
[10:28] Dialogue
Yeah.
[10:29] Dialogue
What about it?
[10:31] Dialogue
They just released a full-scale VRMMORPG
for the NerveGear.
[10:37] Dialogue
Sword Art Online.
[10:41] Dialogue
Right. "SAO" for short.
[10:44] Dialogue
Hey, want to try it with me?
[10:47] Dialogue
I'd like to see you over there, too.
[10:50] Dialogue
But I don't have a NerveGear, so...
[10:53] Dialogue
Your father runs RCT, so shouldn't you be able
to pester him for one?
[11:03] Dialogue
I don't see that happening till after
my entrance exams.
[11:05] Dialogue
Asuna, don't you think you're pushing
yourself too hard?
[11:10] Dialogue
You have to take a break sometimes
if you want to avoid burnout.
[11:13] Dialogue
I do go on breaks,
you know.
[11:16] Dialogue
No, it's still not enough.
[11:18] Dialogue
So let's have one more match.
[11:21] Dialogue
Well, I guess I can do that.
[11:25] Dialogue
Hey, but first...
[11:29] Dialogue
I noticed that your hair seemed
to be getting in your way,
[11:31] Dialogue
so I'll tie it back for you.
[11:33] Dialogue
Turn your head.
[11:34] Dialogue
O-Okay.
[11:39] Dialogue
This feels kind of weird.
[11:41] Dialogue
Don't move, okay?
[11:43] Dialogue
If I braided it in the back,
it would be even cuter.
[11:45] Dialogue
I'm sure you'd look great.
[11:47] Dialogue
A break, huh?
[11:49] Dialogue
All right, I'm done.
Look at me.
[11:54] Dialogue
What, you're taking a picture?
[11:57] Dialogue
It's my masterpiece.
[11:59] Dialogue
I'll send it to you.
[12:03] FN
NOVEMBER 6, 2022
[12:07] Dialogue
Brother?
I'm coming in.
[12:13] Dialogue
Huh? Oh, right.
He's off on his business trip today.
[12:26] Dialogue
Hey, is this...
[12:28] Dialogue
Sword Art Online?
[12:33] Dialogue
So he bought it.
[12:35] Dialogue
Then right now,
Misumi must be...
[12:38] Dialogue
I'd like to see you over there, too.
[12:46] Dialogue
Brother, I'm going to borrow this
for just a little while, okay?
[13:03] Dialogue
Um...
[13:05] Dialogue
Link start!
[13:16] Dialogue
Welcome to Sword Art Online!
[13:18] Dialogue
Please start by entering your name.
[13:22] Dialogue
Name?
Wait, she means mine, right?
[13:27] Dialogue
A-SU-NA.
[13:31] Dialogue
Next, we're going to create your avatar.
[13:34] Dialogue
Gender, hairstyle, skin color, build...
[13:38] Dialogue
Please choose whatever you like,
and adjust the details.
[13:40] Dialogue
Wh-What is this?
What am I supposed to do?
[13:44] Dialogue
Huh?
[13:47] Dialogue
"You may also base your avatar
on a photo of yourself."
[13:51] Dialogue
I think I'll go with this one.
[13:54] Dialogue
Whoa!
[13:56] Dialogue
Brother...
[14:12] Dialogue
And now we're going to transport you to the
game's starting point, the Town of Beginnings.
[14:16] Dialogue
We hope that you enjoy your adventure
at the floating castle, Aincrad, to the fullest.
[14:36] FN
FLOOR 1
TOWN OF BEGINNINGS
[14:56] Dialogue
I'm... inside the game now?
[15:06] Dialogue
Amazing... it's like the real thing!
[15:10] Dialogue
I wonder if Misumi's around somewhere—
[15:11] Dialogue
Welcome, Madam Swordswoman.
[15:14] Dialogue
Is there something I
can help you with?
[15:16] Dialogue
What?
[15:16] Dialogue
This is the central plaza
in the Town of Beginnings.
[15:20] Dialogue
The shopping district where you'll find weapon
and equipment shops is that way.
[15:24] Dialogue
Um... actually... you see...
[15:27] Dialogue
The thing is...
[15:30] Dialogue
Well, I'm looking for a friend!
[15:38] Dialogue
A friend, you say?
[15:40] Dialogue
Yes! Her name is Misumi—
[15:43] Dialogue
And she's the same age as me.
[15:45] Dialogue
She's about this tall—
[15:47] Dialogue
There is no player registered under
the name of Misumi.
[15:51] Dialogue
But I know she must be here.
[15:53] Dialogue
I ran the search again,
but there is no one by that name.
[15:56] Dialogue
Her last name is Tozawa.
That's T-O-Z-A-W-A.
[16:00] Dialogue
- I'm sure she's around here somewhere!
- Why is that girl chatting with an NPC?
[16:03] Dialogue
Newbie.
[16:05] Dialogue
I said her name is Tozawa Misu—
[16:10] Dialogue
Hold up!
[16:17] Dialogue
What are you doing here?
[16:20] Dialogue
Ah?
[16:24] Dialogue
Oh, it's because of this?
[16:28] Dialogue
Help! Let me go!
[16:30] Dialogue
It's me, it's me.
[16:31] Dialogue
Wh-Who are you?
[16:32] Dialogue
- It's Misumi.
- I don't know anyone named Misumi—
[16:39] Dialogue
I'm Misumi.
[16:40] Dialogue
That voice...
[16:42] Dialogue
Oh, but you're not the one I'm looking for.
[16:45] Dialogue
That would be a girl named Misumi Tozawa!
[16:48] Dialogue
Misumi is spelled with the characters
[16:49] Dialogue
- for "deep" and "clear," and—
- Listen...
[16:53] Dialogue
Stop yelling out my real name!
[17:03] Dialogue
You should've given me a heads-up
if you were coming here.
[17:06] Dialogue
Sorry. It was totally unplanned.
[17:11] Dialogue
Hey, it's sweet.
Tastes like the real thing...
[17:16] Dialogue
You really are Misumi, aren't you?
[17:19] Dialogue
I go by Mito here.
[17:21] Dialogue
What, Mito?
[17:22] Dialogue
Why do you look like that?
[17:26] Dialogue
Because this is the type
of character that I like.
[17:28] Dialogue
Well, I have to say you're like
a whole different person.
[17:32] Dialogue
I would never think you were Misumi!
[17:34] Dialogue
That's Mito, not Misumi!
[17:38] Dialogue
You're way more ballsy than me, Asuna.
[17:41] Dialogue
Using your real name for your player name.
[17:43] Dialogue
And your avatar may as well be the real you.
[17:46] Dialogue
Well, I didn't know what I was doing.
[17:48] Dialogue
Seriously...
[17:50] Dialogue
But I'm glad I got to see you over here, too.
[17:53] Dialogue
Yeah! I'm glad I got to see you, too.
[17:58] Dialogue
All right, want to get going now?
[18:00] Dialogue
Where to?
[18:02] Dialogue
I'm going to clue you in to the best part
of this game.
[18:07] Dialogue
You equip yourself,
and battle monsters.
[18:09] Dialogue
What? B-Battle them?
[18:11] Dialogue
No worries. There are only weak ones
around this town.
[18:15] Dialogue
But I'm no gamer—
[18:16] Dialogue
Unlike in fighting games,
you actually move your body in battle.
[18:21] Dialogue
You're a good athlete, Asuna,
so you'll get used to it in no time.
[18:24] Dialogue
I'm not sure about that.
[18:26] Dialogue
But before we start...
[18:29] Dialogue
Let's take a walk through the town.
[18:31] Dialogue
Because that's the best part of this game.
[18:35] Dialogue
How many bests can there be?
[19:17] Dialogue
You must be hungry.
Let me take you to a great place I know.
[19:21] Dialogue
It's right around the corner from here—
[19:22] Dialogue
Hey, this game was just launched today, right?
[19:26] Dialogue
What about it?
[19:28] Dialogue
No, it's just that you really know
a lot about it.
[19:30] Dialogue
Because I've been prepping for it
for a long time.
[19:33] Dialogue
Prepping?
[19:35] Dialogue
Oh, I've got to head home now!
[19:37] Dialogue
What about dinner?
[19:38] Dialogue
Thanks for the offer,
but I'll have to take a rain check.
[19:41] Dialogue
I see. Too bad.
[19:42] Dialogue
What are you going to do, Mito?
[19:44] Dialogue
I'm staying.
[19:46] Dialogue
Since there are still things I need to do.
[19:50] Dialogue
Thanks.
I had a good time today.
[19:53] Dialogue
I'll see you at school tomorrow, okay?
[19:55] Dialogue
Will I see you here again, too?
[19:56] Dialogue
Sure. I'll borrow this
from my brother and log in!
[20:01] Dialogue
Huh?
[20:02] Dialogue
What's wrong?
[20:03] Dialogue
Hey, what do you have to do
to leave this game?
[20:06] Dialogue
There should be a logout button.
[20:10] Dialogue
Logout... logout...
[20:13] Dialogue
I can't find it.
[20:15] Dialogue
That's ridicu—
[20:18] Dialogue
There isn't one.
[20:20] Dialogue
That's weird.
The UI design's the same as before.
[20:48] Dialogue
Are we supposed to report malfunctions, too?
[20:51] Dialogue
Forced teleportation?
[20:54] Dialogue
What on earth is happening?
[20:56] Dialogue
Mito?
[20:58] Dialogue
Hey... up there!
[21:36] Dialogue
Is that the game master?
[21:37] Dialogue
Why doesn't he have a face?
[21:39] Dialogue
What event is this?
[21:44] Dialogue
Attention, players.
Welcome to my world.
[21:49] Dialogue
My name is Akihiko Kayaba.
[21:52] Dialogue
As of this moment, I am the only person able
to control this world.
[21:56] Dialogue
Akihiko Kayaba?
[21:58] Dialogue
Hey, who is that?
[22:00] Dialogue
He's the guy who developed this game.
[22:02] Dialogue
I'm sure you've already noticed that the logout
button is missing from the main menu.
[22:10] Dialogue
But this is not a defect in the game.
[22:15] Dialogue
I repeat...
[22:16] Dialogue
It is not a defect in the game,
[22:17] Dialogue
but a rightful feature of Sword Art Online.
[22:21] Dialogue
You cannot log out of SAO of your own volition.
[22:25] Dialogue
And no one on the outside can shut down
or remove the NerveGear.
[22:31] Dialogue
Should this be attempted, the transmitter inside
the NerveGear will emit a powerful microwave,
[22:37] Dialogue
destroying your brain
and thus ending your life.
[22:43] Dialogue
Unfortunately, as of now, there have been
several instances in which players' friends
[22:47] Dialogue
and families have ignored this warning,
[22:51] Dialogue
and attempted to forcibly remove
the NerveGear.
[22:54] Dialogue
As a result, 213 players have exited permanently,
from both Aincrad and the real world.
[23:02] Dialogue
As you can see, news organizations across
the world are reporting on this situation,
[23:07] Dialogue
including the multiple deaths.
[23:10] Dialogue
Thus, you can assume that the danger of a
NerveGear being removed has been reduced.
[23:17] Dialogue
I would like you all to rest assured
and apply yourselves to clearing the game.
[23:21] Dialogue
But I want you to be sure
to keep this in mind.
[23:24] Dialogue
There is no longer any function
to revive someone within the game.
[23:29] Dialogue
The instant your HP drops to zero,
your avatars will vanish forever.
[23:37] Dialogue
And at the same time...
[23:38] Dialogue
...your brains will be destroyed
by the NerveGear.
[23:45] Dialogue
There is only one condition
for your escape.
[23:48] Dialogue
All you have to do is complete this game.
[23:53] Dialogue
You are presently on the lowest floor
of Aincrad, Floor 1.
[23:59] Dialogue
If you make your way through the dungeon
and defeat the Floor Boss,
[24:01] Dialogue
you may advance to the next level.
[24:04] Dialogue
Defeat the final boss on Floor 100,
and you will clear the game.
[24:12] Dialogue
D-Don't just make stuff up!
[24:13] Dialogue
Clear... all 100 floors?
[24:16] Dialogue
That's impossible!
[24:18] Dialogue
Even the beta testers never made
it that high, right?
[24:22] Dialogue
Now then, finally, I've provided you all
with a gift in your item storage.
[24:29] Dialogue
Please see for yourselves.
[24:36] FN
MIRROR
[24:37] Dialogue
A mirror?
[24:45] Dialogue
Mito!
[24:57] Dialogue
Asuna!
Are you all right?
[24:59] Dialogue
Um, yeah.
[25:01] Dialogue
Huh?
Are you... Misumi?
[25:03] Dialogue
Hey, I told you,
it's Mito over here!
[25:06] Dialogue
B-But...
[25:09] Dialogue
Huh? Who are you?
[25:11] Dialogue
And who are you?
[25:12] Dialogue
You're a guy?
[25:13] Dialogue
You were lying about being 17?
[25:15] Dialogue
Why? Why would he do this in the first place?
[25:18] Dialogue
Akihiko Kayaba...
[25:21] Dialogue
Right now, you must all be wondering, "Why?"
[25:25] Dialogue
Why would Akihiko Kayaba, developer
of Sword Art Online and the NerveGear
[25:29] Dialogue
do such a thing?
[25:32] Dialogue
My goal has already been achieved.
[25:35] Dialogue
I created Sword Art Online for one reason...
[25:38] Dialogue
To create this world and enjoy watching it.
[25:42] Dialogue
And now,
all is complete.
[25:47] Dialogue
This concludes the tutorial for the official
Sword Art Online launch.
[25:53] Dialogue
I have one last warning for you.
[25:56] Dialogue
This may be a game,
but it's not something you play.
[25:59] Dialogue
I wish you luck, players.
[26:22] Dialogue
No... No!
[26:26] Dialogue
- S-Screw you!
- Let us out!
[26:29] Dialogue
Let us out of here!
[26:32] Dialogue
I can't stay here.
I have to meet someone after this!
[26:36] Dialogue
Is this... reality?
[26:39] Dialogue
Let me out!
Let me out of here!
[26:41] Dialogue
No! Somebody save us!
[26:44] Dialogue
This wasn't a game?
[26:51] Dialogue
Wh-What?
[26:52] Dialogue
We're leaving town right now!
[26:53] Dialogue
What?
[26:54] Dialogue
If we're going to clear this game any time soon,
we've got to get stronger.
[26:59] Dialogue
But it won't be long before the monsters
around here will be hunted clean by these players,
[27:03] Dialogue
and it's going to be tough to level up,
even just once.
[27:06] Dialogue
Wh-What you're saying
is going right over my head!
[27:09] Dialogue
You don't have to understand right now.
[27:11] Dialogue
But we're getting out of here.
[27:22] Dialogue
Step back.
[27:34] Dialogue
Asuna!
[27:38] Dialogue
No! No!
[27:47] Dialogue
Come on, let's go.
[27:50] Dialogue
Asuna?
[27:51] Dialogue
What is this?
I don't get it at all!
[27:53] Dialogue
We can't log out of this game?
[27:55] Dialogue
- How is that even possible?
- Hey, calm down.
[27:56] Dialogue
I have to take my entrance exams soon.
[27:58] Dialogue
Why is this happening?
[28:00] Dialogue
This is no time to be talking like that—
[28:02] Dialogue
I don't know anything about this game!
[28:05] Dialogue
Asuna.
[28:07] Dialogue
You can say that you want to move on
because you're good at these games!
[28:12] Dialogue
But it's different for me!
[28:14] Dialogue
So just leave me alone!
[28:18] Dialogue
Hey, play with me!
[28:20] Dialogue
Let's defeat that boss today!
[28:23] Dialogue
What's wrong?
[28:24] Dialogue
That might be fun for you,
because you're good at those games, Misumi.
[28:28] Dialogue
- I mean, you're always the sole survivor!
- What?
[28:32] Dialogue
You can just leave us alone now.
[28:41] Dialogue
Whatever you do,
don't say things like that.
[28:45] Dialogue
I know that you're scared.
[28:47] Dialogue
But just trust me.
[28:50] Dialogue
I'll teach you everything I know
about Sword Art Online.
[28:54] Dialogue
So let's try to clear the game together.
[28:58] Dialogue
And then let's go home together.
[29:02] Dialogue
Okay.
[29:05] Dialogue
You know how great a gamer I am, right?
[29:09] Dialogue
I'll protect you no matter what, all right?
[29:17] FN
ACCEPT REQUEST TO FORM A PARTY?
[29:18] Dialogue
What's this?
[29:19] Dialogue
It's something like proof
that we're freinds over here.
[29:24] Dialogue
These games are so weird!
[29:26] Dialogue
We're already friends without doing that!
[29:29] Dialogue
This is one of the best parts of the game, okay?
[29:35] Dialogue
Now we're members of the same party.
[29:39] Dialogue
Once again,
I look forward to working with you.
[29:41] Dialogue
Right.
[30:01] Dialogue
No!
[30:10] Dialogue
You're still pushing off too timidly.
[30:14] Dialogue
Let's see. Um...
[30:26] Dialogue
Wow!
[30:28] Dialogue
Instead of leaving it to the system's
Motion Assist feature,
[30:31] Dialogue
you can use your own athleticism to boost
the speed and force of your sword skills.
[30:36] Dialogue
Boost?
[31:00] Dialogue
I did it!
[31:01] Dialogue
That's it!
That's called an Outside System Skill.
[31:05] Dialogue
The sooner you master those, the better.
[31:13] Dialogue
This isn't right.
Not like this, but...
[31:17] Dialogue
Hey, why did we come out here,
so far from town?
[31:21] Dialogue
Wouldn't it be more convenient in town?
[31:24] Dialogue
Like I told you before,
MMORPGs are all about fighting over resources.
[31:30] Dialogue
We have to advance through this game with any
edge that we can or we're not going to survive.
[31:35] Dialogue
The area near Town of Beginnings
is overrun with hunters,
[31:38] Dialogue
so it's getting harder to pop monsters.
[31:41] Dialogue
There are no more places near town where you
can battle while practicing your sword skills.
[31:47] Dialogue
This place is a well-kept secret, but it won't
be long before the players in town find it.
[31:51] Dialogue
Once we level up,
we need to head to the next town.
[31:55] Dialogue
You sure know everything, huh?
[31:56] Dialogue
Doing this kind of research—
[31:59] Dialogue
Is one of the best parts of the game, right?
[32:06] Dialogue
All right,
let's get a little more work in!
[32:09] Dialogue
Yeah!
[33:16] Dialogue
Switch!
[33:31] Dialogue
You're leveling up your sword skills
so fast, Asuna.
[33:34] Dialogue
Unlike how you sucked at fighting games!
[33:36] Dialogue
Hey, don't remind me!
[33:38] Dialogue
I guess I'm not half bad at battling
when I'm moving my own body.
[33:42] Dialogue
Let's move on.
[33:44] Dialogue
We've got to clear this dungeon today
and advance our quest.
[33:51] Dialogue
Empty again?
[33:52] Dialogue
All we're seeing is already-opened
treasure chests!
[33:55] Dialogue
This place might've been picked clean by now.
[33:58] Dialogue
What? There isn't even one left?
[34:01] Dialogue
It's first come, first served,
so there's nothing we can do.
[34:03] Dialogue
It must be the beta testers who have
the jump on us.
[34:06] Dialogue
Beta?
[34:07] Dialogue
Before the official SAO launch, there was a test
play period for about two months.
[34:13] Dialogue
That's what they call the players
who took part in it.
[34:16] Dialogue
Because if anyone knows where
the treasure chests are, it's them.
[34:19] Dialogue
Wow.
[34:20] Dialogue
Actually, I was a beta tester myself.
[34:24] Dialogue
Oh, so that's what you meant
when you said "prepping."
[34:27] Dialogue
Hey, look over there!
[34:33] Dialogue
Hold up.
[34:35] Dialogue
Don't go opening it so carelessly.
[34:37] Dialogue
This dungeon is full of traps.
[34:39] Dialogue
Traps? You mean like booby traps?
[34:41] Dialogue
A poison arrow could come flying,
or there might be an explosion,
[34:45] Dialogue
or sometimes the treasure chest itself
turns out to be a monster.
[34:48] Dialogue
What?
[34:48] Dialogue
Since it's sitting here untouched,
odds are that it's a trap.
[34:53] Dialogue
If you have no locksmith skills,
it would be better to keep our hands off.
[34:56] Dialogue
O-Okay!
[35:01] Dialogue
I hear something.
[35:12] Dialogue
I wonder if someone's in battle?
[35:15] Dialogue
Probably.
[35:42] Dialogue
Why are there so many monsters?
[35:44] Dialogue
Over there.
[35:47] Dialogue
They fell into the trap.
[35:49] Dialogue
We've got to help them!
[35:53] Dialogue
There's nothing we can do at this point.
[35:56] Dialogue
But...
[36:14] Dialogue
If the monsters spot us,
they'll take us out, too.
[36:18] Dialogue
Let's head back.
[36:47] Dialogue
I'm back!
[36:49] Dialogue
Welcome home.
[36:51] Dialogue
I got all our shopping done!
[36:57] Dialogue
That didn't work out like I planned!
[37:00] Dialogue
And what is this?
[37:03] Dialogue
Isn't it cute?
[37:05] Dialogue
Seriously.
[37:07] Dialogue
Hey, I did buy the potions, too.
[37:09] Dialogue
This equipment shop has a great selection!
[37:13] Dialogue
That doesn't make this any less overkill.
[37:18] Dialogue
Well, I got worried.
[37:21] Dialogue
You're feeling bad about that dungeon?
[37:26] Dialogue
What do you think happened
to those players?
[37:31] Dialogue
Did they really die in real life, too?
[37:34] Dialogue
That's what Akihiko Kayaba said.
[37:37] Dialogue
I can't believe it.
[37:39] Dialogue
The way they just vanished was like
a video game.
[37:43] Dialogue
How could that lead
to them also dying in real life?
[37:48] Dialogue
Right... you're right.
[37:51] Dialogue
I thought that I knew this game well,
but maybe I never knew anything.
[37:57] Dialogue
But there's one thing I can say for sure.
[38:03] Dialogue
I won't let you die,
no matter what.
[38:09] Dialogue
That party we saw today wasn't
cautious enough or cool-headed enough.
[38:13] Dialogue
If they'd kept their hands off
that sketchy treasure chest,
[38:15] Dialogue
they wouldn't have ended up like that.
[38:19] Dialogue
I'm not like them.
No way would I ever put you in danger.
[38:27] Dialogue
You're right. I'm safe as long
as I have you, right?
[38:30] Dialogue
Right. I promise you.
[38:33] Dialogue
Okay, let's get our items organized.
[38:35] Dialogue
Since we'll be heading
to the next town tomorrow.
[38:38] Dialogue
Okay. Hey, hold up a second!
[38:43] Dialogue
Hey, I can easily customize my hairstyle
from the menu—
[38:47] Dialogue
But that wouldn't be any fun!
[38:53] Dialogue
This feels kind of weird.
[38:55] Dialogue
Don't move, okay?
[38:56] Dialogue
Fine, fine.
[39:02] Dialogue
Since we're doing this,
let's do your hair just like mine.
[39:05] Dialogue
It's my way of thanking you
for that time you did it for me.
[39:07] Dialogue
What? But it only looks good on you, Asuna.
[39:11] Dialogue
Those cute hairstyles aren't for me—
[39:13] Dialogue
Just sit tight, okay?
[39:29] Dialogue
Are you okay?
[39:30] Dialogue
Yeah. Thanks!
[39:31] Dialogue
Watch out for monsters, too, okay?
[39:34] Dialogue
Because high-level Little Nepenthes have
been known to show up around here.
[39:37] Dialogue
Nepenthes?
[39:39] Dialogue
But I thought that Nepenthes
were pitcher plants.
[39:42] Dialogue
That's right.
They're carnivorous plant monsters.
[39:45] Dialogue
Now that we've leveled up,
they're not really a threat to us,
[39:48] Dialogue
but we've got to be careful
because the terrain is unstable.
[39:51] Dialogue
All right!
[39:52] Dialogue
Also, once in a while you'll see a Nepenthe
with a round fruit on its head,
[39:55] Dialogue
but whatever you do,
don't attack it.
[39:58] Dialogue
Why not?
[39:59] Dialogue
Because if it's damaged,
it emits smoke to summon its comrades.
[40:02] Dialogue
Then a whole horde shows up,
and you can't escape them.
[40:06] Dialogue
I'll be careful.
[40:09] Dialogue
Hey... are those the Nepenthes you
were talking about?
[40:14] Dialogue
Remember, if the one with the fruit shows up,
don't attack it, no matter what.
[40:17] Dialogue
Okay!
[40:28] Dialogue
You got this, Asuna!
[40:30] Dialogue
If we keep this up, it won't be long
before we can wipe them out!
[40:37] Dialogue
Is that a Spry Shrewman?
[40:40] Dialogue
There's one heading your way!
[40:51] Dialogue
Asuna! Can you handle this for a second?
[40:53] Dialogue
What's going on?
[40:55] Dialogue
I just saw a monster that almost never
shows up on the first floor.
[40:58] Dialogue
It drops rare items, so I want
to vanquish it when I have the chance.
[41:00] Dialogue
Fine! Just leave this to me!
[41:33] Dialogue
All right!
[41:44] Dialogue
I snagged the item!
[41:47] Dialogue
Good for you!
[41:55] Dialogue
Asuna! No!
[42:23] Dialogue
Asuna!
[42:37] Dialogue
Asuna!
[42:38] Dialogue
Mito!
[43:13] Dialogue
Asuna.
[43:27] Dialogue
I can get to the top from here.
[43:42] Dialogue
That's my last one!
[44:02] Dialogue
I don't want to die!
[44:04] Dialogue
Mito! Hurry up and come!
[44:36] Dialogue
Just one more.
[45:01] Dialogue
No way.
[45:17] Dialogue
I don't want to see this!
[45:20] Dialogue
No way would I ever put you in danger.
[45:26] Dialogue
Sorry, Asuna.
[45:28] Dialogue
I can't keep...
[45:32] Dialogue
...my promise to you.
[45:38] FN
MITO HAS LEFT THE PARTY
[45:39] Dialogue
What?
[45:41] Dialogue
Mito?
[45:42] Dialogue
What?
[45:44] Dialogue
What's going on?
[45:48] Dialogue
I'm sorry... I'm sorry!
[47:23] Dialogue
Are you all right?
How much HP do you have left?
[47:31] Dialogue
I'll take you back to town.
[47:46] Dialogue
Would this be enough?
[47:48] Dialogue
There's also map data to the nearest town,
so you should be able to get back on your own.
[48:10] Dialogue
All right, I'm taking off now.
[48:22] Dialogue
Asuna.
[48:41] Dialogue
Sorry, Asuna.
[49:13] FN
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO LOG OUT?
[49:41] Dialogue
Asuna? We've been looking for you.
[49:43] Dialogue
Mother?
[49:44] Dialogue
Come downstairs.
Let's all have dinner together.
[49:51] Dialogue
See? These are all your favorites, aren't they?
[49:55] Dialogue
Asuna, I hear that you aced your tests.
[49:58] Dialogue
Your mother tells me that you even had
some perfect scores!
[50:02] Dialogue
That's right! Asuna, I'm impressed by all
your hard work.
[50:08] Dialogue
Mother!
[50:09] Dialogue
I know, we'll have to get her
a gift for getting into high school!
[50:12] Dialogue
Don't you think you're getting ahead
of yourself there?
[50:15] Dialogue
Hey, why not?
How about going on a family trip?
[50:18] Dialogue
You're saying that because you want
to go, right?
[50:20] Dialogue
Let's take a break from work and spend
some quality time with each other for once!
[50:24] Dialogue
I need to take tons of pictures
of my beloved sister while I have the chance!
[50:24] FN
NEW MESSAGE
MITO HAS LEFT THE PARTY
[50:39] Dialogue
Mito?
[50:41] Dialogue
Goodbye, Asuna.
[50:47] Dialogue
Mito!
[50:49] Dialogue
Mito!
[51:01] Dialogue
I'm still inside the game.
[51:07] Dialogue
I hear that some players finally made it
to the dungeon on Floor 1.
[51:13] Dialogue
It's been three weeks now. That's it?
[51:17] Dialogue
How many years is it going
to take to clear this game?
[51:19] Dialogue
Clear? What are you smoking?
Never gonna happen!
[51:22] Dialogue
1,800 people have died already!
[51:27] Dialogue
No matter what we do,
we're all gonna die!
[51:43] Dialogue
I have one last warning for you.
[51:45] Dialogue
This may be a game,
but it's not something you play.
[51:50] Dialogue
This is my reality.
[51:58] Dialogue
I can't choose how I'm going to live anymore.
[52:01] Dialogue
But I can at least choose how
I'm going to die.
[52:05] Dialogue
So that I can still be me.
[52:13] FN
SELL THE SELECTED ITEMS?
[52:14] FN
ALL ITEMS HAVE BEEN SOLD
[52:23] Dialogue
Even if I'm killed by a monster,
[52:26] Dialogue
I don't want to lose to this game...
to this world.
[53:28] Dialogue
That was way too overkill.
[53:30] Dialogue
That Kobold was already on the brink
of death after that first Linear.
[53:35] Dialogue
He's the one from that day?
[53:37] Dialogue
You could've finished it off with an easy
normal skill instead of a sword skill.
[53:42] Dialogue
He doesn't recognize me.
[53:44] Dialogue
Something wrong with being excessive?
[53:47] Dialogue
Don't forget there's the return trip, too.
You should fight in a way that's not too taxing.
[53:52] Dialogue
Return trip?
[53:53] Dialogue
Yeah, it's going to take about an hour just
to get out of this dungeon,
[53:57] Dialogue
and even if you rush,
the nearest town is a half hour away.
[54:01] Dialogue
You'll make more mistakes
if you're exhausted.
[54:04] Dialogue
From what I can tell,
you're a solo player,
[54:06] Dialogue
and if you're on your own,
even the smallest mistake could be fatal.
[54:10] Dialogue
Well, that's not going to be a problem.
[54:12] Dialogue
Since I'm not going back.
[54:14] Dialogue
Huh? Not going back—
to the town, you mean?
[54:17] Dialogue
But you need to replenish your potions,
and get your weapons serviced.
[54:21] Dialogue
- And sleep—
- I won't need potions
[54:23] Dialogue
if I don't sustain any damage,
[54:25] Dialogue
and I've brought five
of the same type of sword.
[54:27] Dialogue
And I'm resting in the nearby safe zone.
[54:30] Dialogue
How many hours have you been at this?
[54:33] Dialogue
Three days. Maybe four.
[54:35] Dialogue
We're done here.
[54:36] Dialogue
If you keep fighting like that, you'll die.
[54:40] Dialogue
We're all going to die anyway.
[54:42] Dialogue
Nearly 2,000 players have died
in just a month.
[54:45] Dialogue
But no one's cleared even the first floor.
[54:49] Dialogue
This game just can't be completed.
[54:51] Dialogue
It's only a matter of where
and how you'll die...
[54:54] Dialogue
And how soon or how late.
[55:10] Dialogue
Why am I...
[55:20] Dialogue
You really overstepped.
[55:22] Dialogue
It's not like I saved you.
[55:25] Dialogue
Then why didn't you leave me behind?
[55:27] Dialogue
What I wanted to save
was the map data you have.
[55:31] Dialogue
If you've been cooped up near
the front lines for four days,
[55:34] Dialogue
you must've mapped a lot
of the untrodden areas.
[55:37] Dialogue
I just thought it would be a waste
for it to vanish along with you.
[55:43] Dialogue
Then why don't you take it?
[55:47] FN
OUTPUT MAP DATA?
[55:51] Dialogue
All right, I'll be on my way now.
[55:54] Dialogue
Hold up, Ms. Fencer.
[55:56] Dialogue
Basically, you're grinding away
to clear this game, right?
[56:01] Dialogue
Not to end up dead in a dungeon?
[56:03] Dialogue
If that's the case, don't you think you
should show up at the meeting, too?
[56:07] Dialogue
Meeting?
[56:08] FN
FLOOR 1
TOLBANA
[56:08] Dialogue
There's going to be a Floor 1 Boss Raid
meeting in Tolbana today.
[56:20] Dialogue
This many players?
[56:22] Dialogue
Even though they could die?
[56:25] Dialogue
I don't know about that.
[56:27] Dialogue
What?
[56:29] Dialogue
I wouldn't say it's everyone,
[56:31] Dialogue
but it's less about the manifestation
of self-sacrifice,
[56:34] Dialogue
and more about the fear of falling behind
that brought most people here.
[56:39] Dialogue
I'm probably the latter myself.
[56:42] Dialogue
Falling behind?
[56:43] Dialogue
Behind what?
[56:44] Dialogue
The front lines, see.
Sure, the thought of dying scares me,
[56:48] Dialogue
but it's just as scary to know that the boss
might be defeated without my knowing.
[56:54] Dialogue
Is that like not wanting to drop out
of the top ten in your grade,
[56:57] Dialogue
or wanting to maintain
your 70th percentile rank...
[56:59] Dialogue
Is it the same kind of motivation?
[57:02] Dialogue
Uh... well, it probably is.
[57:10] Dialogue
Okay, let's get started, people!
[57:15] Dialogue
Thank you for responding
to my summons today.
[57:19] Dialogue
My name is Diabel. My job is...
in my own mind, I like to think I'm a "Knight."
[57:24] Dialogue
There's no job system in this game!
[57:29] Dialogue
Today, our party discovered the boss room
at the top of that tower.
[57:37] Dialogue
We need to defeat the boss,
reach the second floor,
[57:40] Dialogue
and tell everyone waiting
in Town of Beginnings
[57:44] Dialogue
that it's possible to one day beat
this death game.
[57:48] Dialogue
And that's the duty of every one
of us here now!
[57:52] Dialogue
Isn't that right, everybody?
[58:01] Dialogue
Okay! Then without further delay,
I'd like to get this boss raid meeting started.
[58:06] Dialogue
First, I want you to team up
into parties of six.
[58:10] Dialogue
A conventional party has no chance against
a Floor Boss.
[58:14] Dialogue
We'll need to form a raid group
using multiple parties.
[58:21] Dialogue
You got left out, too?
[58:26] Dialogue
Everyone else seemed to be friends already,
so I just stayed out of it.
[58:30] Dialogue
Hey, want to form a party with me?
[58:33] Dialogue
He just said we can't beat
the boss on our own, right?
[58:36] Dialogue
It's just for this fight... temporarily.
[58:45] FN
ACCEPT REQUEST TO FORM A PARTY?
[58:52] FN
ACCEPT REQUEST TO FORM A PARTY?
[58:55] Dialogue
Okay, are you about done forming
your parties?
[58:57] Dialogue
- Then—
- Hold up a second!
[59:02] Dialogue
My name's Kibaou.
[59:05] Dialogue
There's something I want
to say before we take on the boss.
[59:09] Dialogue
Some of you here need to apologize
to the 2,000 who have died so far!
[59:17] Dialogue
Kibaou, these people you're referring to...
[59:21] Dialogue
Do you mean the ex-beta testers, perhaps?
[59:24] Dialogue
Darn right I do!
[59:25] Dialogue
On the day that this stupid game started,
the beta guys ditched us beginners,
[59:28] Dialogue
and they all disappeared.
[59:31] Dialogue
They took all the good hunting spots
and easy quests for themselves,
[59:34] Dialogue
so they were the only ones getting stronger.
And since then, they've just ignored the rest of us.
[59:38] Dialogue
There's got to be some of them here!
Guys who were beta testers!
[59:42] Dialogue
We should make them get on their knees
and apologize,
[59:44] Dialogue
and give up all the items
and money they've hoarded!
[59:47] Dialogue
As party members,
we can't put our lives in their hands,
[59:49] Dialogue
and they can't put their lives in ours!
[59:51] Dialogue
Can I say something?
[59:58] Dialogue
My name is Agil.
[1:00:00] Dialogue
Kibaou, let me get this straight.
[1:00:03] Dialogue
You're saying that because
the ex-beta testers didn't take care of them,
[1:00:05] Dialogue
many beginners died.
That they should take responsibility,
[1:00:09] Dialogue
apologize, and provide compensation.
Is that right?
[1:00:11] Dialogue
Y-Yeah.
[1:00:14] Dialogue
You received this guide book, too, didn't you?
[1:00:17] Dialogue
It was provided for free
at the item store, after all.
[1:00:19] Dialogue
Sure, I got it.
So what if I did?
[1:00:21] Dialogue
It was the ex-beta testers
who were distributing these.
[1:00:25] Dialogue
Listen up. Everyone had equal access
to this information.
[1:00:29] Dialogue
And yet many players still died.
[1:00:31] Dialogue
What can we learn from those failures,
[1:00:33] Dialogue
and how should we go about trying
to defeat the boss?
[1:00:35] Dialogue
At least, that's what I thought
we'd be discussing here.
[1:00:43] Dialogue
Okay, can we resume the meeting now?
[1:00:46] Dialogue
As for information on the boss,
[1:00:47] Dialogue
actually, the latest edition
of that guide book was just issued.
[1:00:51] Dialogue
According to what it says,
the boss's name is Illfang the Kobold Lord.
[1:00:55] Dialogue
Also, he has an entourage known
as the Ruin Kobold Sentinels
[1:00:58] Dialogue
that appear as a group of three at most.
[1:01:01] Dialogue
The boss is armed with an axe and a buckler.
[1:01:03] Dialogue
He has four health bars,
and when the last one turns red,
[1:01:06] Dialogue
he switches to a curved sword-type weapon
called a Talwar.
[1:01:09] Dialogue
His attack pattern changes as well.
[1:01:11] Dialogue
Whoa. Where did they get that info?
[1:01:13] Dialogue
This concludes the briefing.
[1:01:14] Dialogue
Lastly, regarding item distribution,
[1:01:17] Dialogue
money will be automatically
divided equally.
[1:01:19] Dialogue
EXP goes to the party that defeats the monster.
[1:01:22] Dialogue
And whoever receives an item keeps it.
[1:01:25] Dialogue
Any objections?
[1:01:27] Dialogue
Okay, we leave tomorrow,
at 10:00 in the morning.
[1:01:31] Dialogue
All right, dismissed!
[1:01:46] Dialogue
Mito?
[1:02:09] Dialogue
Those are pretty tasty, aren't they?
[1:02:12] Dialogue
Mind if I sit down?
[1:02:27] Dialogue
Do you really think it's good?
[1:02:32] Dialogue
Of course.
[1:02:32] Dialogue
Ever since I came to this town,
I've been eating at least one daily.
[1:02:35] Dialogue
Well, but I do change it up a little, though.
[1:02:38] Dialogue
Change it up?
[1:02:39] Dialogue
Try putting some on that bread.
[1:02:48] Dialogue
Cream?
[1:03:22] Dialogue
Thank you for the cream.
[1:03:23] Dialogue
You're welcome.
[1:03:25] Dialogue
It's the reward for a quest called "The Heifer
Strikes Back" one village behind us.
[1:03:30] Dialogue
If you want to do it,
I'll tell you what the trick is.
[1:03:33] Dialogue
I didn't come to this town
to eat good food.
[1:03:39] Dialogue
Then, why did you?
[1:03:42] Dialogue
Rather than lock myself inside an inn
and slowly rot away,
[1:03:45] Dialogue
I'd rather stay myself until
the very last moment.
[1:03:49] Dialogue
Even if I'm defeated by a monster,
[1:03:51] Dialogue
I don't want to lose to this game...
to this world.
[1:03:55] Dialogue
No matter what.
[1:04:03] Dialogue
I wouldn't want a party member dying on me.
[1:04:06] Dialogue
So at the very least,
don't die tomorrow.
[1:04:08] Dialogue
That's why I want to discuss how we're going
to fight in the boss raid today.
[1:04:12] Dialogue
Do you have a minute?
[1:04:15] Dialogue
Where would we discuss that?
[1:04:17] Dialogue
Some nearby bar, or inn, maybe?
[1:04:20] Dialogue
I don't want to be seen
and have people get the wrong idea!
[1:04:23] Dialogue
There are other rooms for rent.
[1:04:26] Dialogue
For example, the place I'm renting
is the second floor of an NPC farmhouse.
[1:04:29] Dialogue
It's got two rooms
and all the milk you can drink.
[1:04:31] Dialogue
The bed's huge,
and the view is awesome,
[1:04:33] Dialogue
and to top it off,
it's got a bath—
[1:04:37] Dialogue
What did you say?
[1:04:38] Dialogue
A-All the milk you can drink?
[1:04:40] Dialogue
The one after that.
[1:04:41] Dialogue
Th-The bed's huge,
and the view is awesome?
[1:04:43] Dialogue
After that!
[1:04:44] Dialogue
I-It's got a bath?
[1:04:48] Dialogue
Take me to your place...
[1:04:51] Dialogue
...and let me use... your bath?
[1:04:54] Dialogue
Uh, sure.
[1:05:06] Dialogue
Unbelievable!
[1:05:09] Dialogue
To think that such wonderful bathtubs
exist in this world!
[1:05:11] Dialogue
Yeah. Um, have a good one!
[1:05:17] Dialogue
No lock?
[1:05:19] Dialogue
Nothing I can do, I guess.
[1:05:25] FN
REMOVE EQUIPMENT?
[1:05:34] FN
REMOVE UNDERGARMENTS?
[1:06:06] Dialogue
I can die anytime now!
[1:06:09] Dialogue
I have absolutely no regrets!
[1:06:14] Dialogue
Oh, but that cream-topped rye bun...
[1:06:17] Dialogue
What wouldn't I give
to have it again before I die?
[1:06:25] Dialogue
Y-You done?
[1:06:27] Dialogue
What are you doing in the corner there?
[1:06:29] Dialogue
Oh, uh...
[1:06:33] Dialogue
What?
[1:06:33] Dialogue
Uh, nothing.
[1:06:39] Dialogue
Before our meeting,
let's take this and head out.
[1:06:42] Dialogue
This rapier was a drop item,
but I'm not going to use it, so—
[1:06:46] Dialogue
What are we—
[1:06:47] Dialogue
We can still make it to one of the forges
before it closes.
[1:06:57] Dialogue
I was able to level it up to plus four.
[1:06:59] Dialogue
It should be way better than the rapier
you've been using.
[1:07:02] Dialogue
Why would you do that?
[1:07:03] Dialogue
We're going on a raid tomorrow.
[1:07:05] Dialogue
We've got to do whatever we can do.
[1:07:08] Dialogue
That doesn't mean you should have
to get me a weapon—
[1:07:10] Dialogue
It's just that I don't want my party member
dying on me.
[1:07:14] Dialogue
What I really want is to search
for rare equipment,
[1:07:17] Dialogue
but since there's no time for that—
[1:07:20] Dialogue
Let's talk about the boss raid
when we get back.
[1:07:22] Dialogue
Just keep me company a little while longer.
[1:07:25] Dialogue
Listen.
[1:07:26] Dialogue
At today's meeting...
[1:07:29] Dialogue
You know how they were talking about
the beta testers?
[1:07:32] Dialogue
Uh, yeah.
[1:07:33] Dialogue
What kind of people are they?
[1:07:34] Dialogue
What kind?
[1:07:36] Dialogue
Kibaou was criticizing
the beta testers.
[1:07:40] Dialogue
He said they were selfish
and they'd abandoned us other players.
[1:07:44] Dialogue
But Agil said that some of them
were also passing on information to us.
[1:07:49] Dialogue
Do these games just change
who people are?
[1:07:54] Dialogue
Did you have some kind of run-in
with a beta tester?
[1:07:57] Dialogue
You can tell me about it if you want.
[1:07:59] Dialogue
Since I'm a solo player,
there's no risk that it'll get leaked.
[1:08:06] Dialogue
We were friends in the real world,
[1:08:08] Dialogue
and after we came here, too.
[1:08:10] Dialogue
I see. So a member of your party.
[1:08:14] Dialogue
She was getting hold of a monster's
rare item at the time.
[1:08:18] Dialogue
Meaning it was more important
to her than me.
[1:08:22] Dialogue
After all the time we'd spent together, why?
[1:08:28] Dialogue
What kind of monster was it?
[1:08:31] Dialogue
What do you mean?
[1:08:33] Dialogue
Like, was it an insect type or animal type?
[1:08:35] Dialogue
Tell me anything you can about
what it looked like.
[1:08:37] Dialogue
Uh, it was like a small mouse-human.
[1:08:41] Dialogue
What was her main weapon?
[1:08:44] Dialogue
A rapier, like yours?
[1:08:45] Dialogue
No, she fought with a scythe.
[1:08:49] Dialogue
I see.
[1:08:52] Dialogue
SAO is no ordinary game.
[1:08:56] Dialogue
Our lives are at stake.
[1:08:58] Dialogue
On top of that,
in the heat of battle,
[1:09:00] Dialogue
in extreme life-or-death situations,
[1:09:03] Dialogue
a person would do anything to survive.
[1:09:08] Dialogue
But in a situation like this,
there's no telling what people are capable of.
[1:09:14] Dialogue
You can see who a person really is
when she's being nonchalant and normal.
[1:09:19] Dialogue
That's what I think.
[1:09:21] Dialogue
It doesn't matter if you're
a beta tester or not.
[1:09:24] Dialogue
What kind of person she is...
[1:09:28] Dialogue
You should know that yourself.
[1:09:32] Dialogue
I know... who she is?
[1:09:34] Dialogue
I'm going to clue you in
to the best part of this game.
[1:09:36] Dialogue
Whatever you do,
don't say things like that.
[1:09:38] Dialogue
That's it!
This feels kind of weird.
[1:09:41] Dialogue
It's my masterpiece.
[1:09:43] Dialogue
I'll send it to you.
[1:09:44] Dialogue
Just as I thought.
You look great!
[1:09:49] Dialogue
Mito...
[1:09:54] Dialogue
Thank you. I feel a little calmer now.
[1:09:56] Dialogue
You do?
[1:09:59] Dialogue
That girl is something else.
She said, "Let's clear this game together," right?
[1:10:03] Dialogue
Instead of abandoning you, a beginner?
[1:10:06] Dialogue
That's something that I never could've done.
[1:10:10] Dialogue
Sorry.
[1:10:11] Dialogue
The reason you're in this situation
in the first place...
[1:10:14] Dialogue
In other words, what drove you
into the corner,
[1:10:17] Dialogue
in a sense, it's my...
[1:10:22] Dialogue
What you just started to say...
[1:10:24] Dialogue
If we both survive the boss raid,
let me hear the rest.
[1:10:40] Dialogue
I'm going to double-check, okay?
[1:10:41] Dialogue
As the leftover team, our target is the Ruin
Kobold Sentinels—the boss's entourage.
[1:10:47] Dialogue
I know.
[1:10:48] Dialogue
I'll use a sword skill
to knock their pole axes up.
[1:10:52] Dialogue
The second I do,
switch and jump in.
[1:10:58] Dialogue
Tell me, before you came here,
you played, um...
[1:11:02] Dialogue
...these MMO games, right?
[1:11:05] Dialogue
Uh, well, yeah.
[1:11:07] Dialogue
Was traveling the same as this in other games?
[1:11:10] Dialogue
You know, like a field trip?
[1:11:14] Dialogue
Field trip... I like that.
[1:11:15] Dialogue
Sorry to say that with other titles,
it was a far cry from this.
[1:11:19] Dialogue
I mean, with non-full-dive games,
you have to use the keyboard or mouse,
[1:11:24] Dialogue
or operate a controller.
[1:11:27] Dialogue
Oh, I see.
[1:11:29] Dialogue
Then what's the real thing like?
[1:11:32] Dialogue
The real thing?
[1:11:33] Dialogue
You know, assuming a fantasy world
like this really existed,
[1:11:37] Dialogue
and that a band of swordsmen
or magicians on an adventure there...
[1:11:41] Dialogue
...set off to take down
a terrifying monster boss.
[1:11:44] Dialogue
What would they talk about
on their way there?
[1:11:47] Dialogue
Or would they just walk on in silence?
[1:11:50] Dialogue
That's what I mean.
[1:11:54] Dialogue
The road to either death or glory, huh?
[1:11:58] Dialogue
If we're talking about people who live that
as their normal life,
[1:12:01] Dialogue
then it's probably like going to a restaurant
to have dinner.
[1:12:05] Dialogue
They'll talk if they have something to say,
and be silent if they don't.
[1:12:09] Dialogue
I bet these boss raids will end up
like that someday, too.
[1:12:13] Dialogue
That is, if we can make challenging bosses
a normal part of our lives.
[1:12:20] Dialogue
Sorry for laughing.
But what you just said is absurd!
[1:12:24] Dialogue
This world couldn't be farther
from normal life.
[1:12:27] Dialogue
And you're saying we can make it normal?
[1:12:30] Dialogue
You do have a point there.
[1:12:32] Dialogue
But listen, it's already been four weeks today.
[1:12:35] Dialogue
Even if we manage to take down
the Floor 1 boss today,
[1:12:38] Dialogue
there'll still be 99 floors above us.
[1:12:41] Dialogue
If we keep repeating
the process over and over,
[1:12:43] Dialogue
then the abnormal will become normal, too.
[1:12:46] Dialogue
You're strong, I see.
I could never do that.
[1:12:50] Dialogue
Live in this world for years on end.
[1:12:52] Dialogue
Because that thought scares me
way more than dying today.
[1:12:55] Dialogue
Hmm... if we can make it to the upper levels,
we'll find even nicer bathtubs, you know.
[1:13:00] Dialogue
R-Really?
[1:13:02] Dialogue
That's right! So we've got
to go home alive today, okay?
[1:13:22] Dialogue
Listen up, everyone.
[1:13:24] Dialogue
I have only one thing to say.
[1:13:34] Dialogue
Let's win!
[1:13:41] Dialogue
Let's go!
[1:14:35] Dialogue
Commence attack!
[1:14:53] Dialogue
Squad A! Squad C!
Switch! Here it comes!
[1:14:55] Dialogue
Squad B, block!
[1:14:57] Dialogue
Squad C, keep guarding
and prepare to switch.
[1:15:06] Dialogue
Now! As you fall back,
prepare to attack from the side!
[1:15:09] Dialogue
Squads D, E, and F,
keep the sentinels off us!
[1:15:12] Dialogue
Roger!
[1:15:26] Dialogue
Switch!
[1:15:38] Dialogue
Next!
[1:15:39] Dialogue
More are coming!
[1:15:43] Dialogue
Switch!
[1:15:45] Dialogue
Switch!
[1:15:46] Dialogue
Switch!
[1:15:47] Dialogue
There's a fifth one!
[1:15:52] Dialogue
This boy... he's so powerful.
[1:15:56] Dialogue
Good job!
[1:15:58] Dialogue
You, too.
[1:16:06] Dialogue
Looking good! We're almost there!
[1:16:16] Dialogue
Looks like that information was right.
[1:16:19] Dialogue
Squad C! Surround the boss!
[1:16:21] Dialogue
I'm going after the target!
[1:16:37] Dialogue
That weapon!
[1:16:39] Dialogue
It's not the same as the beta test!
[1:16:41] Dialogue
It's no good! Stay back!
[1:16:43] Dialogue
You'll be hit with a range attack!
[1:17:05] Dialogue
C-Can't move...
[1:17:31] Dialogue
Diabel!
[1:17:34] Dialogue
Hang in there!
[1:17:48] Dialogue
Please... defeat...
[1:17:51] Dialogue
Defeat the boss.
[1:17:53] Dialogue
For everyone...
[1:18:19] Dialogue
Why? No way.
[1:18:21] Dialogue
There should've only been three of them!
[1:18:23] Dialogue
This isn't what we signed up for!
[1:18:36] Dialogue
- Look out!
- Hold up!
[1:18:39] Dialogue
Going on your own won't help!
[1:18:42] Dialogue
You'll end up getting killed, too!
[1:18:47] FN
MITO HAS LEFT THE PARTY
[1:19:01] Dialogue
H-Hey, thanks. I owe you—
[1:19:06] Dialogue
That skill...
[1:19:07] Dialogue
Switch!
[1:19:24] Dialogue
We're getting in on the action, too!
[1:19:25] Dialogue
Come on, over here!
[1:19:31] Dialogue
Wait!
[1:19:35] Dialogue
Asuna...
[1:19:37] Dialogue
Asuna, is that you?
[1:19:39] Dialogue
No way.
[1:19:44] Dialogue
You're alive?
[1:19:47] Dialogue
I...
[1:19:51] Dialogue
I...
[1:19:55] Dialogue
That day...
[1:20:07] Dialogue
We are going to clear this game, aren't we?
[1:20:12] Dialogue
The boss isn't done yet.
[1:20:14] Dialogue
Let's both survive this.
[1:20:19] Dialogue
I've seen that boss use that range attack before
during the beta test.
[1:20:23] Dialogue
But you have to surround the enemy
for it to be launched.
[1:20:29] Dialogue
Asuna!
[1:20:30] Dialogue
Use this!
[1:20:35] Dialogue
It drops rare items, so I want
to vanquish it when I have the chance.
[1:20:37] Dialogue
This is from that day.
[1:20:49] Dialogue
Thanks!
[1:21:05] Dialogue
Switch!
[1:21:10] Dialogue
Not yet!
[1:21:27] Dialogue
Huh? Y-You're...
[1:21:30] Dialogue
Everyone, listen to me!
[1:21:32] Dialogue
We have to surround the boss,
or there won't be a range attack!
[1:21:35] Dialogue
For now, everyone fall back!
[1:21:37] Dialogue
Everyone who's recovered,
get back into battle!
[1:21:49] Dialogue
Let's take it down together.
[1:21:51] Dialogue
Right!
[1:22:33] Dialogue
Almost there.
[1:22:38] Dialogue
Oh, crap—
[1:23:09] Dialogue
Mito!
[1:23:34] Dialogue
Asuna!
[1:23:36] Dialogue
One last Linear!
Let's do it together!
[1:23:39] Dialogue
Roger!
[1:23:57] Dialogue
One more time!
[1:24:09] Dialogue
Mito!
[1:24:20] Dialogue
- Switch!
- Switch!
[1:24:52] Dialogue
We did it!
[1:25:07] Dialogue
Good work.
[1:25:09] Dialogue
Let me chime in.
[1:25:12] Dialogue
You put up a splendid fight.
[1:25:14] Dialogue
Congratulations!
That was a sight to see!
[1:25:23] Dialogue
- Asuna!
- Why?
[1:25:29] Dialogue
Why... why did you let Diabel die?
[1:25:34] Dialogue
Let him die?
[1:25:35] Dialogue
Of course you did!
[1:25:36] Dialogue
You knew what technique
the boss would use!
[1:25:40] Dialogue
If you'd given us that information up front,
Diabel wouldn't have had to die!
[1:25:48] Dialogue
Come to think of it, he's right.
[1:25:50] Dialogue
Yeah.
[1:25:51] Dialogue
How does he know?
[1:25:52] Dialogue
It wasn't even in the guide book.
[1:25:54] Dialogue
Don't tell me it was all lies?
[1:25:56] Dialogue
But it did say that the boss info
was from the beta test, right?
[1:25:59] Dialogue
- All of you—
- Hey! You guys!
[1:26:00] Dialogue
That's right!
He must be an ex-beta tester!
[1:26:03] Dialogue
That's how he knew all about
the boss's attack patterns.
[1:26:07] Dialogue
That woman must be one, too!
[1:26:08] Dialogue
So they knew all the good quests
and hunting grounds,
[1:26:11] Dialogue
but they've been keeping them from us
and duping us!
[1:26:16] Dialogue
That guide book, too—that information broker,
Argo, just sold us a pack of lies!
[1:26:20] Dialogue
She's a former beta tester, too,
so no way would she tell us the truth for free!
[1:26:25] Dialogue
There's gotta be others here, too, right?
Those beta testers? Show yourselves!
[1:26:35] Dialogue
I... I...
[1:26:44] Dialogue
An ex-beta tester, did you say?
[1:26:48] Dialogue
I wish you wouldn't lump me together
with those newbies.
[1:26:53] Dialogue
Don't get the wrong idea.
[1:26:54] Dialogue
That girl there was only following my orders.
[1:26:58] Dialogue
She's nothing but an amateur.
[1:27:01] Dialogue
Most of the thousand people who won
SAO beta test slots...
[1:27:05] Dialogue
...were newbies who didn't even
know how to level up.
[1:27:09] Dialogue
Even you guys are better than them.
[1:27:11] Dialogue
Wh-What did you say?
[1:27:13] Dialogue
But I'm not like those guys.
[1:27:16] Dialogue
During the beta test, I made it to higher levels
than anyone else was able to reach.
[1:27:22] Dialogue
The reason I knew about
the boss's sword skills...
[1:27:24] Dialogue
...was because I'd fought tons of monsters
with those skills on floors far above us.
[1:27:29] Dialogue
I know lots of other things, too.
[1:27:31] Dialogue
Your information brokers
have nothing on me!
[1:27:34] Dialogue
W-What's that about?
[1:27:37] Dialogue
You're—You're way worse than
a beta tester!
[1:27:41] Dialogue
That's cheating!
You're a cheater, that's what you are!
[1:27:43] Dialogue
Right, he's a cheater!
[1:27:45] Dialogue
A beta tester and a cheater...
A beater!
[1:27:47] Dialogue
Damned beater! Duping us like that!
[1:27:49] Dialogue
Are the other beta testers doing
the same thing?
[1:27:51] Dialogue
Dirty beater—keeping all
the information for himself!
[1:27:55] Dialogue
A beater... that's a good name.
[1:27:59] Dialogue
That's right. I'm a beater.
[1:28:02] Dialogue
From now on, don't confuse me
with those lame ex-testers.
[1:28:08] Dialogue
I'm going to activate
the Teleport Gate to Floor 2 for you.
[1:28:12] Dialogue
To get to the main square
from the exit above,
[1:28:14] Dialogue
you'll have to cross the field some,
[1:28:16] Dialogue
so if you follow me,
be ready to be killed by a mob at first sight.
[1:28:33] Dialogue
Sorry. The reason you're in this situation
in the first place...
[1:28:38] Dialogue
In other words,
what drove you into the corner...
[1:28:41] Dialogue
In a sense, it's my—
[1:28:54] Dialogue
Asuna!
[1:28:56] Dialogue
Mito?
[1:28:59] Dialogue
Um...
[1:29:05] Dialogue
I'm going after him.
[1:29:09] Dialogue
I've found it.
[1:29:10] Dialogue
How I'm going to live in this world—
it's where he goes.
[1:29:15] Dialogue
So I'm going to move forward.
[1:29:21] Dialogue
All right, see you later.
[1:29:29] Dialogue
Goodbye, Asuna.
[1:30:17] Dialogue
I told you not to come.
[1:30:20] Dialogue
No, you didn't. "If you're coming,
be ready to die"—that's what you said.
[1:30:24] Dialogue
Did I really?
[1:30:28] Dialogue
So beautiful.
[1:30:31] Dialogue
Come to think of it,
you called my name during that battle.
[1:30:35] Dialogue
Sorry for using just your first name.
[1:30:37] Dialogue
Or did I mess up the pronunciation?
[1:30:40] Dialogue
Pronunciation?
[1:30:42] Dialogue
Never mind that.
I never told you my name,
[1:30:45] Dialogue
and you never told me yours!
[1:30:47] Dialogue
How did you find out?
[1:30:48] Dialogue
Uh... huh? Wait...
[1:30:51] Dialogue
Didn't you say you'd formed a party before?
[1:30:53] Dialogue
Sure I have.
[1:30:55] Dialogue
You can see another HP gauge below yours,
around here, right?
[1:31:01] Dialogue
Isn't there something written under that?
[1:31:03] Dialogue
Huh?
[1:31:05] Dialogue
Moving your face will make
the gauge move, too.
[1:31:08] Dialogue
Keep your face still,
and just move your eyes to the left.
[1:31:12] Dialogue
Ki... ri... to...
[1:31:15] Dialogue
Kirito? Is that your name?
[1:31:18] Dialogue
Yeah.
[1:31:19] Dialogue
Oh, so it was written there all this time!
[1:31:22] Dialogue
Oh! Uh... um...
[1:31:25] Dialogue
I'm glad you were able to check that out.
[1:31:30] Dialogue
The truth is, I came after you because
I wanted to thank you.
[1:31:34] Dialogue
For the cream bun and the bath?
[1:31:36] Dialogue
No, not that!
[1:31:39] Dialogue
Well, I guess that's part of it, too.
[1:31:42] Dialogue
Right... all kinds of things.
I want to thank you for so many things.
[1:31:48] Dialogue
For the first time,
I've found something to strive for—
[1:31:52] Dialogue
something I want to chase after.
[1:31:54] Dialogue
Really? What is it?
[1:31:56] Dialogue
That's a secret.
[1:31:58] Dialogue
I'm going to give it my all.
[1:31:59] Dialogue
Do my best to survive,
and become stronger.
[1:32:03] Dialogue
So that I can get to the place I'm striving for.
[1:32:08] Dialogue
Yeah. You can become stronger.
[1:32:11] Dialogue
Not just your sword skills.
[1:32:13] Dialogue
You can find a strength that's even greater
and more valuable.
[1:32:17] Dialogue
That reminds me,
there's one more thing that I need to tell you, right?
[1:32:21] Dialogue
What I started to say last night...
[1:32:25] Dialogue
No need. I understand now.
[1:32:28] Dialogue
The path that you've walked till now.
[1:32:30] Dialogue
And the place you're about
to walk towards on your own.
[1:32:36] Dialogue
So... I'm going, too.
[1:32:41] Dialogue
Let's go, Asuna.
[1:32:45] Dialogue
Right, Kirito!
[1:32:57] Dialogue
So those two are the top players at this point?
[1:33:01] Dialogue
Now this should be interesting!
[1:33:22] Dialogue
Tangled, my thoughts are tangled in
a jumbled mess as I untie my hair
[1:33:32] Dialogue
"You're not acting like yourself"
[1:33:33] Dialogue
I won't smile for a portrait of me
drawn by somebody else
[1:33:41] Dialogue
The definition of what
is right will keep on changing
[1:33:46] Dialogue
But there's one thing I believe in
It's the thrill I feel in my heart
[1:33:51] Dialogue
I just tell myself, "Go, go!"
[1:33:53] Dialogue
To a place where no one can reach me
[1:33:56] Dialogue
Step on the gas
There's no time to think about fate
[1:34:01] Dialogue
This is me, right here, right now
[1:34:03] Dialogue
Yeah, there's a future to reach after
those days filled with tears
[1:34:08] Dialogue
Heading for tomorrow
The world is a kaleidoscope
[1:34:18] Dialogue
Bottled-up feelings
Let's dance even the signals of loneliness away
[1:34:28] Dialogue
Nothing's wrong
[1:34:29] Dialogue
Those empty nights and fearful days
[1:34:34] Dialogue
All are a part of me
[1:34:37] Dialogue
Feeling lost and betrayed
When my pent-up emotions explode
[1:34:45] Dialogue
What will I have left?
[1:34:48] Dialogue
Yeah
While I'm shouting, "I'm here"
[1:34:50] Dialogue
While I'm wishing, "Please love me"
[1:34:53] Dialogue
All I can do is keep running down
the road that I've chosen
[1:34:57] Dialogue
I just tell myself, "Go, go!"
[1:34:59] Dialogue
To a place where no one can reach me
[1:35:03] Dialogue
Overtaking turbulence,
I want to see a part of me that I don't even know
[1:35:08] Dialogue
This is me, right here, right now
[1:35:10] Dialogue
Yeah, I want to make the future
that I envisioned a reality
[1:35:15] Dialogue
And I won't blame anyone else
[1:35:18] Dialogue
You were always such a coward
but you've pretended that you didn't know
[1:35:26] Dialogue
"I'm not in pain"
[1:35:28] Dialogue
While protecting what's dear to you
While smiling and saying, "I'm okay"
[1:35:33] Dialogue
You cried and said, "I want to change"
[1:35:41] Dialogue
"I'm sorry" has finally become an inaudible echo
[1:35:46] Dialogue
Transcending time,
I am no longer there
[1:35:51] Dialogue
"Just leave it!" Yeah, I'm so in the present
moment that I have no time to reminisce
[1:36:02] Dialogue
I just tell myself, "Go, go!"
[1:36:04] Dialogue
To a place where no one can reach me
[1:36:07] Dialogue
Step on the gas,
There's no time to think about fate
[1:36:12] Dialogue
This is me, right here, right now
[1:36:14] Dialogue
Yeah, there's a future to reach after
those days filled with tears
[1:36:19] Dialogue
Oh, how I still long to see it
[1:36:22] Dialogue
Oh, heading for tomorrow with you
[1:36:25] Dialogue
The world is a kaleidoscope
