[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.
