Commentator Kirito Commentator Sinon I'm your commentator, Kirito.

Commentator Kirito Commentator Sinon And I'm your commentator, Sinon.

This program is an info-variety show, bringing you all the news about Gun Gale Online.

Sinon, can you tell us what you think about the BoB final turning into a sword fight?

The fact that gunmen, including myself, who should totally have the upper hand,

are getting wiped out by swordsmen is pathetic, to be honest.

If only my scope hadn't been destroyed, I could've taken part in that battle, too!

Well, it was only at the end that Death Gun used that sword,

and till then, he'd been using his gun the whole time, so I don't think that makes gunmen pathet—

Cut it out!

Right! Forgive me!

A-Anyway, do you have a chance of beating that Death Gun?

To tell you the truth, it's going to be difficult.

As swordsmen, we're equal.

No, he might actually be better than me.

I don't know if I can beat him now...

That's not true!

You were able to slash the bullet I fired from up close.

Nobody but you could ever hope to pull that off.

Sinon?

Sinon...

So there's no way you'd lose to that guy!

Be confident in yourself, Kirito!

All right, Sinon!

I'll defeat Death Gun for sure!

I promise.

All right, let's get Sword Art Offline 2 started!

Trivia Master: Yui

In GGO, there aren't any teleport gates or crystals like there were in SAO. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

But with automobiles, buses, armored tanks, and three-wheeled buggies, Trivia Master: Yui

it does have a wide selection of transportation. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

One oddity among these choices is the Robot Horse! Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

Its greatest asset is its ability to navigate off-road terrain that normal vehicles can't handle, Trivia Master: Yui

such as such as cliffs and swamps. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

However, mastering a Robot Horse requires long hours of diligent training. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

I think I'm gonna work on my riding skills by asking Daddy to be my horse! Trivia Master: Yui

PLAYBACK CORNER

In this segment, we select various scenes from episodes

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

Today, let's playback Sword Art Online 2 Episodes 10-12!

First, here's a scene from Episode 10.

It's all right. Just leave me here.

Hey, why didn't you just leave me and make a run for it?

Well, because I could never abandon a comrade and run off.

But what were you going to do if you got shot, too?

If you get shot by Death Gun, you might die in real life, you know!

Aren't you afraid of dying?

Well, of course I'm afraid.

But I'm even more afraid that you might die, Sinon.

If it means letting you get killed, I'd rather die myself.

Idiot...

All right, here's the next scene! Enjoy!

If only I'd kept it together more...

You don't have to beat yourself up over it.

Even I didn't realize that he was hiding near you.

If our roles had been reversed, I would've been the one hit by a tranquilizer.

And in that case, you would've rescued me.

Am I right?

Look, you, do you have any idea how I was feeling at that moment?

N-No, not a clue.

I was humiliated!

To think that I was being consoled by such a pompous, creepy, sexual harasser...

You don't know how pissed I was!

I think I kind of know where Sinon's coming from.

If someone consoles you when you're all tensed up, it's really annoying, right?

Hey, come on...

But deep down, you also feel really happy.

Right? Sinon?

All right, here's the next scene! Here you go!

If... I'm just saying... What if Death Gun's cloak works even in the city?

Being able to disappear even in the city... this cloak is serious business.

Yes. It had to have been a glitch!

But if you lure him somewhere he'll leave clear footprints, like a desert or the water,

couldn't you virtually neutralize its invisibility powers?

That's true, but on the other hand,

it's just about impossible to detect him where there would be no footprints.

That's right! Meaning that if he wanted to, he could sneak into a private room or even a locker room.

So it was a blessing in disguise that Death Gun had no interest in any of that, right?

Meaning that perverts who disguise themselves as women and try to peek into the girls" locker room...

...are even more despicable than Death Gun!

Give me a break about that, will you?

All right, here's the next scene! Here you go!

He's fast!

Seeing it again, this Yamikaze guy sure is fast!

He's the ultimate AGI build.

By never standing still, and running endlessly at top speed,

he can keep his opponents from ever locking their sights on him.

What's wrong, A sun a?

Uh, nothing! Um...

Those speedy, rustling moves of Yamikaze...

Um, uh, I was thinking they reminded me of a "c...'

Right, now that you mention it...

Dressed all in black, making those rustling movements,

he is like a cockroach!

Thanks to your observation, A sun a, GGO's AGI builds, already a dying breed,

just received their death blow.

I-I'm sorry! That wasn't my intent at all!

Trivia Master: Yui

The pistol Death Gun carries is a handgun called the Type 54 Black Star. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

This gun is a Chinese copy of the Tokarev TT-33 produced in the former Soviet Union, Trivia Master: Yui

and because it has a star symbol embossed on its black grip, Trivia Master: Yui

it's known as the Heixing, which means "Black Star" in Chinese. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

As copies, you might expect them to be shoddy goods, Trivia Master: Yui

but the 7.6 mm bullets used in the Heixing are full metal jacket bullets, covered in sturdy steel, Trivia Master: Yui

and because of their high velocity, they can easily pierce a bulletproof vest. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

If you let down your guard because they're copies, you might end up getting hurt! Trivia Master: Yui

COUNSELING CORNER

In this segment, we'll be hearing from various people living in the SAO2 world,

and we'll be solving their problems in a flash!

We're going to slash and hack away at the problems our viewers sent in to the show!

Actually, since we've received so many emails from Kirito and Sinon's fans,

all saying the same thing, we're going to resolve that problem!

Clients All of Kirito and Sinon's fans

Clients All of Kirito and Sinon's fans "During the BoB final live-stream,

Clients All of Kirito and Sinon's fans there was a shot of Sinon and Kirito hugging in a cave, even though they're both girls.

Clients All of Kirito and Sinon's fans

Clients All of Kirito and Sinon's fans What kind of relationship do those two have?"

Clients All of Kirito and Sinon's fans

Do they mean that time when Kirito was trying to calm down Sinon who'd started panicking?

Oh, so they did think we were both girls, after all.

Well, you brought it on yourself. I mean, you seemed really into it yourself!

Maybe you should just go on passing yourself off as a girl!

No! Not on your life!

This should be a good time to tell all the GGO players that I'm a guy and set the record straight!

- You can't do that, Kirito! - Huh? Why not?

Because there are so many people who've become your fans, thinking you're a girl!

You can't just shatter their dreams!

But I don't want to pass myself off as a girl!

And besides, my cover will be blown eventually!

The way you are right now, you'll be fine!

And I'll help you turn into a proper girl myself!

Huh?

First of all, we'll have to change that get-up.

Let's see... since you look cute right now,

I think a skirt's the thing!

How about a flared miniskirt with pink checkers?

Th-That's not...

Wear a white blouse on top, and how about a uniform-type coat?

And if you coordinate all that with black knee socks...

N-No, I told you, that's not for me!

And anyway, at this rate people will start thinking that Sinon's into girls, right?

You wouldn't want that either, right, Sinon?

Oh, that wouldn't bother me!

If we tell everyone that, then I won't have to worry about guys making moves on me!

Whaaat?

I mean, if we tell people that you're my female friend,

there wouldn't be a problem, right?

B-But then couldn't we just tell them that I'm your male friend?

Like I said before, that would shatter your fans" dreams, so no!

Besides, if people found out that you're a guy, Sinon's fans will make you pay!

I see.

All right. All right, then.

I just have to pass myself off as a girl, right?

That'll do!

All right, let me ask you again.

What kind of relationship do you have?

Uh, she's my female friend?

Th-That's me!

All you fans out there, it seems that they're female friends!

This has been the Counseling Corner!

Am I doing the right thing?

The time has come to say goodbye.

Kirito, what did you think of today's show?

Well, apparently I'm going to have to pass myself off as a girl in GGO,

but it feels like I was forced into it.

I think I should've come out as a guy, after all...

You really need to man up!

We've already decided that you're going to pass yourself as a girl, so deal with it!

O-Okay, I will!

Huh? Pass myself off as a girl, but man up?

Huh?

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

Bye-bye!
