This flash back looks surprisingly cheap compared to what we normally get for SAO

 

[Raxus]

SPARKS! Didn't even want to animate a fight huh?

 

[Shard]

Death Gun, Laughing Coffin...what three year old named these characters anyway?

 

[SigmasonicX]

To be fair, this apparently was a scene in the first book that was left out of the anime, so it isn't a retcon in the books.

 

[Soulflarz]

Kirito is showing signs of being a little tired, this cant be canon.

 

[daveo42]

Oh no...not RED players. As BLUE players, we hate RED players. Right ya'll?

So when is this actually supposed to happen during the original narrative?

 

[commanderpepper]

Y'all are being flanked, fall back.

 

[Man God]

There's nothing wrong with flashbacks we haven't seen before. You prefer seeing the same content over and over?

 

[mightynine]

I remember how Kirito talked about this battle during SAO S1 and how it changed him to leave such an emotional response all this time later.

 

[grandjedi6]

I feel so bad for kirito in this part, so painful to remember and constantly remember SAO.

I agree. I always feel pain when I remember SAO too.

 

[Crocodile]

Leaked plans? Weren't you invading their stronghold or did I misunderstand something? There should be a shitton of them.

That's besides the point that I don't understand why an organization like Laughing Coffin even exists

 

[UltraGunner]

You had a sheild ffs

 

[Regiruler]

HE WAS OUTNUMBERED WHY DIDN'T THE OTHER GUYS DO ANYTHING

 

[foxuzamaki]

Is this pvp? That game didn't have pvp!

I think your remembering it wrong, they didnt have pvp in the towns, they could kill eachother to their hearts content out of town tho

 

[Grexeno]

Are these guys fucking serious

 

[Mik317]

oh shit its Hollow Ichigo

or not


;_;

 

[Imperial Bishop]

DED

in real life

 

[BatDan]

So this Laughing Coffin is a bunch of psycho killers.
Classy.

 

[Soulflarz]

kirito the murderer :3

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh no...not RED players. As BLUE players, we hate RED players. Right ya'll?

So when is this actually supposed to happen during the original narrative?

Apparently, you think we would have heard about a giant fight between player factions in a game focused entirely on pve.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Digital blood soaked.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

SO MUCH CARNAGE

 

[Shard]

This a fight scene that would have been laughed out of Log Horizon.

 

[GaimeGuy]

GIVE ME A BREAK

 

[Crayolan]

lolwut. How did that work? They just sat there and let that low HP guy kill them all?

 

[bigkrev]

Behead the murderer!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

oh shit its Hollow Ichigo

evil JYB is life

 

[Doctor Decimate]

this is not very well animated.

 

[Akainu]

Just two?

 

[Moaradin]

Oh yeah Kirito has PTSD now for reasons. Think they should have set that up in the first season? Well, fuck you!

 

[MetatronM]

wow. that video you posted made me realized we fucking failed. Not a single person posted that "It was me, austin!" gif. We suck.

?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Kirito, calm the fuck down.

Death Gun, Laughing Coffin...what three year old named these characters anyway?

I bet it sounds really cool in Japanese.

 

[Soulflarz]

Oh no...not RED players. As BLUE players, we hate RED players. Right ya'll?

So when is this actually supposed to happen during the original narrative?

Remind me during the week and I'll check the books


And yes the dead guy totally is doing this.

 

[Crash Station]

To be fair, this apparently was a scene in the first book that was left out of the anime, so it isn't a retcon in the books.

This I did not know.

Kawahara redeemed!

 

[Zonic]

YES, HE'S A ZOMBIE, KIRITO.

HE CAME BACK TO LIFE AFTER YOU KILLED HIM.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I'm a little late to SAO. I'm still having trouble understanding if Kirito is a girl or not.

 

[Htown]

YOU'RE SO SMART KIRITO

 

[Grexeno]

WAIT

YOU DIDN'T REALIZE THAT INSTANTLY

 

[GaimeGuy]

HOW WOULD HE BE ONE OF THE TWO PEOPLE YOU KILLED?!


YOU'RE JUST REALIZING THAT'S DEATHGUN?

JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL KIRITO?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Kirito's legit shook.

 

[Crocodile]

Kirito has already killed a bunch of people no? Like PTSD is absolutely a real thing but I'm not convinced here at all

 

[Jarate]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[BatDan]

"His voice was the same as Death Gun's" YOU JUST REALIZED!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Sudden PTSD out of nowhere.

 

[B-Dubs]

This is literally the dumbest shit

 

[UltraGunner]

They were a bunch of serial killers. Don't sweat taking two of them down.

 

[Shard]

I hate you so much, with every fiber of my being Kirito.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

of course Kirito killed the main guy

 

[BassForever]

There's nothing wrong with flashbacks we haven't seen before. You prefer seeing the same content over and over?

In this case yes, this is wrong because our villain is supposed to be this mysterious character Kirito is supposed to know and perhaps the audience will too hence why he wears a mask. If it's impossible for the audience or MC to know the character from the first season and we have to create a new scene and retcon it in you have massively fucked in the whole mystery masked villain plot point.

 

[TheOGB]

This is horseshit

Of course that was fucking Death Gun
