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

I'm your host, Leaf a.

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

on everything that's happening in ALFHEIM.

But today, we will be bringing you a special retrospective on the life of Kirito.

Looking back at it now, he provided this show with so much to talk about

from the day he began playing ALO right up to the day he died.

Truly, his life in ALO was like a candle in the wind.

- And so, to look back at his life-- - Wait just a minute!

Don't kill me off!

It's just a game! It's not like I'm really gonna die!

Kirito!

Leaf a, why are you doing this?!

Sorry!

Hey! What's the deal?!

I'm sorry... I still can't look you in the eye, Big Brother!

Please... Just stay in there for now.

That doesn't mean you have to pretend I'm dead!

- Let's get on with the show. - You're ignoring me?!

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

The Demonic Sword Gram is a super-rare item, and only one exists on the server. Trivia Master: Yui

The only sword capable of withstanding it is Excalibur, the mightiest sword. Trivia Master: Yui

However, opinions differ on where it is located, and it has yet to be found. Trivia Master: Yui

It can truly be said to be a legendary weapon. Trivia Master: Yui

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.

Allow me to introduce two guests who will join us in memorializing Kirito.

He is a hero who saved the Sylph people. Cait Sith Leader: Alicia Sylph Leader: Sakuya

This turn of events is truly regrettable. Cait Sith Leader: Alicia Sylph Leader: Sakuya

We Cait Sith are in his debt, too. Cait Sith Leader: Alicia Sylph Leader: Sakuya

We Cait Sith are in his debt, too.

It's a real shame that he died.

To think that the leaders of other races would mourn a Spriggan like this...

I'm sure that he would be touched.

Hey! Guests! Doesn't any of this strike you as weird?!

Hm? I thought I heard someone say something.

It's your ears playing tricks!

N-No way!

I am uncertain what is going on, but Leaf a has been good to me, so here I am.

This kind of stuff is interesting, so I decided to play along with it!

I can't believe those two are both taking Leafa's side...

And so, let's begin the Playback Corner with this scene.

Die!

Wasn't that awesome?! I can't believe he beat General Eugene!

He is the mightiest player in ALO.

Which makes his loss all the more heartbreaking.

Oh, whatever.

He fought for us, even though he was a Spriggan.

Kirito was a good man.

I respect him even more after seeing a player like Sigurd.

There will always be a few bad apples.

Though pathetic ones like Recon can be a hassle, too.

Actually, I find Recon to be admirable in his own way.

He was the one who uncovered Sigurd's betrayal, right?

Huh? But this is Recon we're talking about!

Leaf a, you seem to have it out for Recon.

She's pretty rough on me, too.

Next up is this scene!

Kirito, was it? What do you say?

Since I've taken a personal interest in you, how about a drink later in Sylvain, as thanks?

Wait...

That's not fair, Sakuya!

No seducing!

Who are you to talk? You're clinging to him too much.

You're so pathetic, drooling over them like that.

You're rough on me, all right...

Why is it? Kirito seems to have a certain something that attracts women to him.

A guy like him must be popular IRL, too!

Kirito's real-world self...

Do you know anything, Leaf a?

Wha--?

This line of inquiry is actually a breach of etiquette,

but surely it's allowable to help reminisce over the deceased.

My gut tells me that you know a few things about Kirito, Leaf a!

No, no, I don't know anything at all!

- How old is he? - How tall is he?

Honestly, I don't know!

- Does he have older or younger sisters? - Or a girlfriend?

W-Well, he...

Based on that reaction, you DO know...

Tell us, tell us!

Look, Kirito is more or less here with us, so we shouldn't--

You acknowledged that I'm here!

H-Hey, let's move on to the next clip!

Don't change the subject!

This is our next scene.

He's tough, all right!

He may have failed in the end, but his ability to get things done is impressive.

Yes. Which is why his loss is so terrible...

Right! That settles it!

I'm finally out!

Hey! Sakuya, why did you do that?!

After seeing him prove his mettle in battle, I have reconsidered.

The Sylph need Kirito's services as a mercenary.

Aw, no fair! If that's how it's gonna be, the Cait Sith want him, too!

U-Um, I...

Hey, you two!

You arrived at the World Tree, so your journey with Leaf a is over, is it not?

Plus, it seems like you two are fighting right now.

W-Well, that's because...

Why don't we talk about joining my people?

I have a favorite bar, so we can have a nice, long conversation there.

Kirito, forget about the Sylph, come join the Cait Sith!

We have a ton of cute girls!

Um, well...

Uh...

Come on!

Let's talk about it outside.

Big Brother, don't!

Huh? What did you say just now?

Did you say "big brother"?

N-No! I didn't, I didn't!

Right, right, you heard it wrong!

No, that certainly sounded like "big brother” to me.

Which means that you two...

W-We aren't actually real siblings or anything!

We just call each other that, that's all!

- You aren't siblings... - ...but you call him "big brother.”

Hm...

Could it be... you two have that sort of deep relationship?

To get out of a rut, you changed your pet names for each other to spice things up?

That sort of thing?

Um, what's going on? They're totally misreading this...

What should we do? Maybe we should clear up this misunderstanding.

We're sorry! We didn't mean to drive a wedge between you, so forgive us, okay?

And I apologize for interrupting your coffin role-playing.

Um, the coffin wasn't there for-- Right?

Oh, I don't care anymore...

Trivia Master: Yui

There are dungeons to the north, south, east, and west of Central City Arun, Trivia Master: Yui

and each one's deepest area is connected to Jotunheim. Trivia Master: Yui

Super-super-super tough monsters called Evil Gods prowl that place, Trivia Master: Yui

and since light doesn't reach there, your flight ability can't regenerate. Trivia Master: Yui

It is the game's field with the highest difficulty. Trivia Master: Yui

In this segment, we discuss the topic displayed on the slot machine

and discuss it with our guests!

- Let's spin it, then! - Right!

Slot, start!

World Tree Assault Mini War Council

World Tree Assault Mini War Council What a timely topic! We just happen to have two leaders with us here today!

I had no idea that this segment had worthwhile topics like this...

An assault, huh?

It's really a question of what to do about all those Guardians?

I believe that our only option is to meet them with equal numbers.

But sheer numbers won't do the trick.

You should hit them with elite troops like my Dragoons!

What is it, Kirito?

Well, I agree that numbers alone aren't the solution,

but I don't think that elite troops are the answer, either.

How do you mean?

Simply gathering together a bunch of powerful players won't work.

Something tells me that we can't beat the Grand Quest

without the help of other races, not just the Cait Sith and Sylph.

Hey, now you're talking!

I'll join in as a Spriggan, too.

If all the races join together, I'm sure that we'll be able to take on the Grand Quest!

Naturally, the Sylph and Cait Sith intend to attempt the Grand Quest at your side.

Let's go for it!

Yeah!

And so, with everyone joined together in common cause,

this has been Slot Talk!

The time has come to say goodbye.

I enjoyed myself.

Plus, I also learned how close you two are.

Be nice to each other and be happy forever, you two!

Um, that's not how we are...

Boy, that got awkward...

But what the heck...

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

Bye-bye!
