Having a harem is hard work.

Asuna would like to leave pixel land now please.
Episode Summary: Suguha says her peace to Kirito and slams the door. She resumes crying on the bed as Kirito thinks all is his fault. He thinks back to when he found out he wasn't really a member of the family by 100 percent blood. When he found this all out it makes him feel weird and questions his place in the family and how he should treat Suguha. He threw himself into online gaming and neglected the family. He tells Suguha to meet him in the game and he walks away. Suguha realizes that she has been cruel to Kirito and that maybe other things matter in life. She logs into the game and immediately runs into Recon. He rescued himself since everyone else was sucking too hard to rescue him. Leafa starts talking about how she is never going to see Kirito again while Recon is jealous and points out that is not like Leafa at the same time. Recon confesses his feelings and Leafa turns him down in no time flat. But he does give her the courage to brave so off she goes to find Kirito. Before he can apologize Leafa decides they need to hash this out in a duel. So off they go. But 5 seconds into the duel they both give up and hug each other. They apologize for their messed up feelings. Leafa still might love Kirito but she wants to help him help Asuna. And Kirito can't answer about his feelings until he rescues Asuna but still finds Leafa important. They hug it out and make it back to Recon who still wants Suguha. The 3 of them decide to go into the tower to have another go at failure. Only this time Recon and Leafa will focus on healing Kirito as he speeds towards the top. Onward they go to failure. At first Kirito does pretty good. But soon the monsters multiple and he has a harder time keeping up. Recon decides he is going to fight too and before he dies he activates an ultimate spell. It takes out tons of monsters and himself at the same time. Leafa is all NOOOO but continues to heal Kirito. He nearly reaches the top but it is blocked by all the monsters. Kirito is almost defeated but then Alicia and Leafa's leader show up with their promised troops. DUH! They blast away and Kirito manages to reach it to the top before it closes. Having met their goal everyone leaves, wishing Kirito good luck. Kirito and Yui soon realize that the area he is in was never met to be reached by players. Kirito is surrounded by monsters again when he remembers the access card Asuna threw down to him. Yui does something to the card and Kirito is able to leave this void area. THE END!

Look you should have been crying for being in love with someone you are related to, not because they won't love you back.
Perhaps I should be an anime character. What do you guys think? I have been known to have some pretty epic meltdowns that have lasted in weeks/months of not talking to certain people. But if I was an anime character I could get over all my problems within minutes! Less anger probably means less wrinkles and less stress in my life. Well unless I am one of those anime characters who holds onto grudges for years and then tries to take over the world. HMMM maybe not folks.

Because when people are nice to me I automatically fall in love with them.
I love how Suguha saying that Kirito being a nice person to her recently is what caused this. Homegirl is certainly rewriting history is she not? Because her momma told her about Kirito being the cousin while he was in the coma. That is when she decided that she could/would fall in love with him. Not the two months where Kirito has been awake. She joined this game so she could better understand him. Kirito is the one suffering all the crazy from this situation.

The horrible truth that my aunt raised me as her own THE HORROR!
I really don't think that Kirito was that mean before going into Sword Art Online. Distant maybe but probably not mean. He was slightly overdramatic though with his attempt to be a Disney Princess. Where is my place, when will my reflection show who I am inside indeed. I am not adopted myself so I can't speak from first hand experience on how people who are adopted react. Yes after the initial shock and the MOG you lied to me/you aren't my real family Kirito should have calmed down yes? 4 years later he was still being all upset and shying away from his family? He acted like he had no idea who Suguha was as a person as well as related to him. Well maybe he could have tried harder. They weren't siblings but grew up together. Just too much overdramaticness for me.
Photobucket
What? Isn't this how people normally get over having crushes on their not brothers? Gosh.
But as overdramatic as they both were acting.....they certainly got over it rather fast. They had a few minutes in the house to cry and then they met up to have a duel? I thought this is how bros got over being upset with each other. Felt really odd. Almost like they were fighting over a girl but really they were fighting over...well Kirito. Only Kirito was fighting for Asuna as she is still passed out. Then they both gave up on the duel because they love each other so much? I know you are trying to be all incesty Suguha bu maybe you should have tried more. I know you gave up on your brother/cousin 5 seconds before everything hit the fan but come on. I thought there was going to be a longer duel and more tears. And I thought things were going to be wrapped up tighter.

Insert the Disney music here!
But NOOOOO Kirito can't say NOOOOO to anyone. He can't tell Suguha how he feels until he wakes Asuna up? Um what is that all about? Didn't Asuna and Kirito promise to be together after the game? Kirito is saving Asuna because it is the right thing to do AND he loves her. So tell Suguha now there is no chance they are getting together. Stop leading people on creeper.

Dude I would be pissed if I were you.
Suguha might be able to move on because Recon is so loyal to her. True only two days have passed since Kirito starting playing the game but Leafa dumped him like a....well things you dump. I don't know. Like see ya, there is a new guy in town. And no one went to rescue Recon. NO ONE! Leafa went off with Kirito and everyone else went to get supplies for this raid. HELLO! Recon was in the sewer all poisoned and junk. I mean...maybe this was a minor thing but Recon should have taken his 5 seconds to get all upset. Suguha treated him like crap.
Photobucket
Because you're there?
But Recon got over it. Very fast. He did have a moment of jealously but he was like I am in for this fail plan. He had no idea what was going on but would do anything for Leafa who would do anything for Kirito. I am not sure how the game system is usually set up but I thought it was kinda obvious that Leafa and Recon would be targeted. Different rules apply to final bosses yes? Just because they are hiding in the corner and healing people doesn't mean they aren't fair game.
Photobucket
Wait OTHER people were coming? Maybe I shouldn't be going all out...
So...speaking of overdramatic things...why did Kirito and gang fly into certain death instead of waiting for the entire two races on their side to show up? Was there a purpose to that? I know that time is very important but Asuna had a week before she was married to that creep. At the most three days have passed, including the one they are currently in. That means there should be a safe 3 days to save Asuna and make sure she can articulate what she doesn't want to marry the scum of the Earth. So rushing in and letting Recon splat in the most magnificent way possible. There was no reason for things to be so dramatic. No reason at all.
Photobucket
Surely this plan will work out!
But if they weren't dramatic we wouldn't see Kirito's little MOG face or Leafa crying over the idea of dying safely in a game. SO MUCH SADNESS! It will be okay guys, I promise. Well except for Asuna and the apparent tentacle rape that is facing her.

Just aim at the wall. Or anywhere really.
Tons of people ended up coming and saving the day. Well sorta. I think that Kirito was doing a pretty good job on his own. And the people who came to help...well with that kinda cash I would expected more firepower. Way more KA-BOOMS! The entire place was full of monsters. Why bother aiming, just attack folks!
Photobucket
That would be Kirito being amazing apparently.
In the end Kirito is the only one to make it to the next stage of the tower. Everyone else was left going YAY he did it. I guess they forgot about the business of whoever make it there first gets the right to fly forever (for their whole race). Maybe everyone forgot about that little fact. Leafa knows what is going on but no one else. Everyone is just...making one person happy and forgetting about all the time they dedicated to this game. Everyone is lovely horray!
Photobucket
Good thing everything is going my way!
The episode ends with Kirito realizing the game was never meant to be cleared. Well Yui realized that but never fear. Asuna threw down that access key. Good thing she didn't throw down a piece of clothing or something. XD I do feel sorta bad for the players though. Maybe it is a good thing they always failed at passing the tower. Wouldn't want to spend all that money on something that is doomed to failure. Wonder why more people didn't quit the game since the ultimate prize was never going to happen. Not that it matters. Kirito will rescue Asuna and make it so that everyone can fly forever. Probably through Asuna who appears not to have a race. WOOHOO for fun.
