Hello, everyone. It's time for Sword Art Offline.

I'm your host, A sun a.

And I'm your commentator, Kirito.

This is an info-variety show that will bring you news

on everything that's happening in Aincrad.

We'll be bringing you big-name guests every episode, so please look forward to them.

Kirito, thank you.

Why all the formality?

It's all thanks to you that we were finally set free from this game.

So I thought I should thank you on everyone's behalf.

I was the one who fought at the end,

but it was everyone's help that got me there.

If it weren't for them, I never could have beaten the game.

But if everyone knew what happened after the floor 75 boss fight,

I'm sure that everyone would thank you.

You think?

Well, anyway, when I think back on it now, I'm kinda curious

about what floors 76 and up would have been like.

Hey, you're right!

There might have been some great date spots, huh?

Maybe there were better weapons! And better spawns!

Kirito, you really are a game nut and combat nut, aren't you?

No, um, I meant in the sense of looking for weapons and spawns while on a date...

That's not a date! That's just an ordinary raid!

Well, in any case, this episode started off with great news.

Let's hear you put some energy into it!

I suppose so.

And without further ado, let's get Sword Art Offline started!

Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui There are many skills that are useful on the road,

Trivia Master: Yui such as Sword Skills, of course, but also Detection and Appraising,

Trivia Master: Yui but there are lots of other skills such as cooking or fishing that are strictly hobbies.

Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui It's necessary to take a breather and relax between raids, huh?

Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui This has been Sword Art Trivia!

PLAYBACK CORNER

In this segment, we select various scenes from episodes

included on the Blu-ray and DVD and comment on them along with our guest.

And without further ado, let's introduce today's guest!

Here he is! Come on out!

Heath cliff, Commander of K.O.T.B.O. Here he is! Come on out!

Heath cliff, Commander of K.O.T.B.O. I never imagined that I would see you two again in a place like this.

I never imagined that I would see you two again in a place like this.

Neither did we.

Commander, I have mixed feelings, talking to you like this.

But let's try to have a good show.

Indeed, let's.

And allow me to congratulate you once again on beating the game.

It feels weird, being congratulated by the final boss.

Speaking of which, Commander, you had actually planned to reveal yourself

as the final boss on the final level, floor 100, didn't you?

If I really had fought you as the final boss on floor 100,

I wonder what it would have been like?

The idea was to transform into a gigantic, monstrous form.

T-Transform?!

And then I planned to give my true, final boss name, full of random diacritic marks.

True name?

I even thought up an introductory speech.

It was a long winded thing that would have begun with,

"I am impressed that you have made it this far, foolish humans!”

I'm joking.

It would be pointless to reveal what turns the game would have taken at this point.

It would be better to leave it to the imagination of each player.

Commander, I never thought of you as the joking type, so you surprised me.

Still, your clichéd final boss would definitely do that kind of thing...

A-And without further ado, let's begin the playback corner.

Yulier was taken aback.

Why?

Commander, let Kirito have it with one of your verbal jabs!

Magnificent!

Your sword technique is magnificent indeed, Kirito.

You wield your two swords perfectly.

Well, those guys were weak, so I cut through them like butter.

True. I know better than anyone the true speed of your blades.

Still, your Divine Blade was nothing to sneeze at.

Oh, is the victor being magnanimous? I was defeated by you, remember.

I didn't win with my skill with a sword.

It was my desire for revenge against you.

That is exactly what I myself want. What say you, Kirito?

Naturally, I'll deactivate my immortal status.

You won't catch me unawares again.

I'll settle things with you properly this time!

Yeah, yeah, knock yourselves out once the show is over.

Next clip.

That was wonderful!

I had no idea you could get soy sauce in this world.

It's homemade. Take some with you, if you'd like.

Really? That's so kind of you.

The people in this world sure had been hungering for soy sauce, huh?

Yeah, I caught myself thinking, "If only I had some soy sauce” a lot of times.

If the soy sauce you had invented had spread,

it would have revolutionized SAO's cuisine!

Well, I do think that soy sauce would have broadened our food options,

but I'm not sure if I'd go that far...

No, it is difficult indeed to reproduce Ramen without soy sauce.

- Ramen? - Yes, Ramen!

I once partook of an odd dish that resembled Ramen, yet was not.

If only I had soy sauce, it would have come close...

The Commander is that fixated on Ramen?

Anyway, on to the next scene!

Roll the next clip!

That thing totally surprised me!

It was huge, and gross...

You beat it without breaking a sweat,

but I wonder if Mr. Nishida could have won against that monster if he had caught it?

Monsters triggered by that event aren't designed to be very powerful.

Of course, part of the reason it was so easily beaten was because it was A sun a fighting it.

Still, it seemed like the summons message we got from you right after this

was the more important event.

Yeah, that's right.

This was the last day of our vacation.

Our honeymoon only lasted two weeks.

It sure flew by.

Hey, when we left, you said, "You'll return to the battlefield before long," right?

Commander, you planned to send us back to the front lines all along, didn't you?

I'm sure I have no idea what you mean.

Sure, play innocent...

There's no point in complaining about it now.

This has been Playback Corner!

Trivia Master: Yui All Floor Bosses are incredibly powerful,

Trivia Master: Yui but the bosses of floors 25, 50, and 75 are insanely tough.

Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui That means especially powerful bosses are placed at each quarter mark.

KLEIN'S LIFE-COACHING CORNER

In this segment, Klein will solve the problems of various people

who live in the world of Sword Art Online.

Klein, pull it together this time.

Relax, I got this!

Come at me, bro! I'm gonna solve the crap out of your problem!

consultee: H (alias) This is more of a question than a request for advice.

Ask anything, and I'll answer it!

What will become of this show beginning with the next episode?

SAO has been beaten, and a new chapter is beginning in the main show.

In which case, perhaps it is time to consider revamping this show?

R-Revamp?

I work for Argus, this show's sponsor, and have conducted

a company opinion survey.

For instance, they want the host changed from a married couple to a single woman.

They also want a more loquacious commentator.

But the most commonly-stated opinion was the desire

for a competent counselor to be assigned to this life-coaching segment.

However, the trivia segment was quite popular, so that should be left as-is.

The stand-in trivia master in the last episode was particularly excellent.

In any case, the overwhelming opinion was that this is the perfect time to change up the cast

to give the show a breath of fresh air.

Um...

What are your thoughts on this, Klein?

Uh...

Time out!

W-What should we do?

Stay calm! I'm the hero who slew the final boss,

so I should be able to contribute to the show with my name recognition!

I think I'm safe!

And I'm the Vice Commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath,

so I should have name recognition, too! I think!

And I... I'm... I think I'm toast!

Don't give up, Klein!

He's right! It'll work out!

I'm just the leader of Furin Kazan! I don't have your name recognition or popularity!

What am I gonna do?!

There do not appear to be any suggestions regarding that.

I hereby announce that Sword Art Offline

will be revamped beginning with the next episode!

No way!

Who do you think you are?!

Such is the power of the sponsor!

Now, I'd like you all to look forward to seeing what the cast lineup will be next time!

We're not looking forward to it at all!

Now, let us end the life coaching here,

as we eagerly anticipate the show's revamping.

The time has come to say goodbye...

Goodbye...

I hate the sound of that word.

I'm toast...

Commander Heath cliff, thank you for joining us today.

Lifetime Honorary Cushy Job

Lifetime Honorary Cushy Job It was rather enjoyable.

Lifetime Honorary Cushy Job Now that I think about it, I never really had the opportunity

Lifetime Honorary Cushy Job to speak with you all anywhere but in raids!

And on that note, we're out of time.

Let's meet again in the next Sword Art Online video!

Will we?

Bye-bye!

Sword Art Offline was brought to you by Argus,

binding one heart to another online.
