Hello, everyone. It's now time for Sword Art Offline 2.

Commentator Kirito Host A sun a I'm your host, A sun a!

Commentator Kirito Host A sun a

Commentator Kirito Host A sun a I'm your commentator, Kirito.

Commentator yuuki And I'm your other commentator, yuuki!

This program is an info-variety show, bringing you all the news about ALFHEIM Online and New Aincrad.

You're really in a bad mood today, Ms. A sun a.

Well, if you were called "Berserk" all the time, you'd be in a bad mood, too, okay?

Yeah, but that footage in the headlines really happened.

What was that, Kirito?

Uh, nothing.

Hey, Kirito, why do people call A sun a the Berserk Healer?

Because she wants to fight in the vanguard, even though she's a Healer.

Is that so wrong?

If a Healer fights in the vanguard,

she won't have time to assess the situation and cast Healing or Assistive spells.

Not only that, but if she gets taken out and the party loses its Healer,

then the party will be in that much more danger of being wiped out.

Yeah, I guess.

But if you look at it as switching between the vanguard and the rearguard based on the situation,

it shouldn't be so bad, right?

Well, I guess you're right about that.

And also, I think it's the name Berserk Healer that hurts her.

If they gave her a cooler-sounding name,

everyone would see her in a different light, don't you think?

yuuki!

Hey, I think you're onto something there.

Right?

Actually, I have a couple of ideas already.

I thought of a few, too!

Okay, then! Let's announce them together!

Okay!

Battle Healer!

Genocider!

Killer Fencer!

Killer Machine!

Holy Princess!

Death Queen!

Come on, Kirito! Try to be serious, will you?

My bad, my bad.

When I imagined A sun a in battle, those were the names that popped into my head.

Really! I wish you'd try to take this more seriously! Kirito!

Sorry!

I'm rejecting all of your suggestions, Kirito!

I'm going to choose from Yuuki's ideas!

Which do you like, A sun a?

Let's see... I think I like "Holy Princess."

Not Holy Princess, of all things!

That was my favorite, too!

After all, you're just like a princess, A sun a!

Well, now, yuuki...

Okay, so from now on, we're calling you Holy Princess, right?

Every time you go into battle,

make sure you announce, "The Holy Princess is here!"

Huh?

Because we just decided on the name Holy Princess,

nobody knows about it yet, right?

If you want everybody to know, you need to announce yourself!

Uh... yes...

Yeah, that's true.

Her new name won't catch on unless she announces herself, right?

I look forward to working with you, A sun a!

I mean... Holy Princess!

You said it! Holy Princess!

- Holy Princess! Holy Princess! - Holy Princess! Holy Princess!

Sorry, yuuki. I think I'll stick with Berserk Healer.

What? For real?

Sorry... I'm sorry, yuuki.

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

Trivia Master: Yui

In order to fly in ALO, Trivia Master: Yui

the rule is that you must be exposed to either sunlight or moonlight. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

For that reason, in places devoid of light, such as dungeons, or Jotunheim, Trivia Master: Yui

players are unable to take flight. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

But if they activate their sword skills in mid-air, even if it happens to be in a no-fly zone, Trivia Master: Yui

they're able to float in the air until the end of the move. Trivia Master: Yui

Particularly during long multi-hit attacks like the ones we saw in Mother's Rosario, Trivia Master: Yui

a player can stay in the air for quite a long time. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

Well, I don't have to do that to fly in no-fly zones! Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

What? Pina can fly, too? Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

Okay, then! Pina and I can... what? Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

TONKY, too? Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

Well! A lot of us can fly in the no-fly zones, it seems! 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 guests.

First, here's a scene from Episode 21.

Hey, Professor Blackie...

Mowing down this horde solo would be impossible even for you, don't you think?

Hey, A sun a. Why did he call Kirito "Professor Blackie"?

I think it's because he's dressed all in black.

There isn't anyone else who, not just their armor, but even their sword is totally black.

Oh, so he's like Professor All-black! That's so cool!

Hey, don't heap on the praise like that.

Uh, it's not really all that cool... I think it's a little derogatory, actually.

It is, isn't it? I knew it.

Oh... I-Is that right? Poor Kirito.

Then why don't we give him a cool name?

Yeah! What do you think would work?

This situation is familiar...

I've already thought of a few.

Right! I've got some, too!

All right, let's announce them together!

Three, two...

Dark Star!

Real Solo Player!

Black Soldier!

Friendless!

Twin Slasher!

The Absolute Isolator!

Somehow, the ones you thought of seem kind of harsh, A sun a...

Is this a grudge about before?

You think?

Absolute Isolator sounds like a lone wolf - I think it's really cool!

Why do all your names make me sound like someone with no friends?

Absolute Isolator is one thing,

but Real Solo Player is clearly malicious, and you know it!

But Kirito, you really don't have any friends besides us.

No, that's not really true...

Huh? Are you that starved for friends, Kirito?

Oh, yes! Sure, now he fights in parties,

in the game we used to play, he was a solo player for about a year and a half!

Me and the Sleeping Knights... we're all your friends, too, Kirito!

So you have nothing to worry about anymore!

I told you, lay off the "no friends" thing, will you?

But hey, I appreciate that. Thanks!

All right, here's our next scene. Enjoy!

Any high-speed spell is still slower than a bullet from an anti-materiel rifle, you know.

I was so surprised when you did that!

Who would've thought someone could slice spells!

By the way, what does it mean to slash a bullet from an anti-materiel rifle?

There aren't any guns in ALO, right?

I played in a gun-orientated virtual MMO before this.

And 1 once sliced a bullet from a sniper's anti-materiel rifle.

Really? But aren't bullets really, really fast? I can't believe you sliced it!

It's not so hard, once you get the knack! It was a piece of cake to slice.

You shouldn't get so carried away...

Don't come running to me if Sinon gets mad at you!

Sinon's not in the show right now, so I'm safe.

Besides, even if she does shoot me, I'll just slice and dice her bullets!

We've just received an email from Sinon.

Um... She says, "They're a piece of cake to slice, right? In that case, what are you waiting for?"

Sinon! No, that was just a figure of speech...

Here's another email from Sinon.

Um... She says, "You can just slice and dice them, right?

I'm going to keep firing, so please slice and dice away!"

I'm sorry! I got carried away! Please forgive me!

Bullets are super-fast, after all! I can't even see them!

yuuki, don't do anything dangerous like that, okay?

All right, here's our next scene. Here we go!

Hey! No fair!

I thought our party was all brawn and no brains,

but I see your party, the Sleeping Knights are into direct attacks, too.

Till now, our only magic-user was Siune, so we didn't have much balance as a team.

Since A sun a joined us, she's been such a big help!

But Siune is a magic specialist,

and you've got tanks and a middle guard with long-range weapons,

so don't you think that's pretty balanced?

But in our party, everyone but A sun a is the physical attack type,

and we don't have any tanks, so we have some holes in our defense.

Not to mention, our only Healer is...

Your only Healer is what?

Ms. A sun a is a wonderful Healer who always gives us her support!

Very good.

All right, here's our next scene. Enjoy!

So anyway, the absolute worst MMO is an American one called In sec-Site!

Oh, right, that one...

Oh? What was it like?

Bugs! Nothing but bugs!

It wouldn't be so bad if it were only the monsters, but you're a bug, too!

Both you and the monsters are bugs... Now that really blows my mind.

I'm not sure if I'd play it, but I think I'd like to see what kind of game it is.

I absolutely refuse, all right?

I couldn't stand it if I became a bug!

I think you'd turn into a beautiful butterfly, A sun a.

Well, I guess I wouldn't mind being a butterfly.

What kind of bug do you think I'd turn into?

Kirito, you'd be a...

What's the matter? If you've thought of something, tell me!

Um... Listen...

Promise me you won't get mad.

Sure! I won't get mad.

Then I'll tell you.

Um... A cockroach, maybe?

A-A cockroach?

Yes, since he's all black and moves so fast! I thought it'd be the perfect match for Kirito!

All black... and moves so fast...

First of all, forget about the "all black and moves so fast" part!

I mean, stop associating everyone who's dressed in black and fast with cockroaches, like Yamikaze!

Huh? Who's Yamikaze?

Trivia Master: Yui

The skill Daddy used to slice the spells is an Outside System Skill called Spell Blast. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

In order to execute it, he must strike the one-time-only collision detection of the spell. Trivia Master: Yui

However, the sword skill's System Assist kicks in, Trivia Master: Yui

and because the user is unable to control the attack's speed, Trivia Master: Yui

it's extremely difficult to hit it. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

This is an extraordinary skill that only Daddy, who once sliced a bullet in GGO, can wield! Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

Meaning that if I trained in GGO, I might be able to do it, too! Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

Huh? Here's an email from Sinon. Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

It says... Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

"If you're going to train, I'll fire as many bullets as you need.” Trivia Master: Yui

Trivia Master: Yui

Y-You know what? I don't think I'll be practicing Spell Blast, after all! Trivia Master: Yui

YUUKI'S QUESTION CORNER

In this corner, Kirito and I will answer questions from yuuki, who's still new to ALO.

A sun a, usually you go on adventures in the same party as Kirito and the others. Tell me about the members yuuki of A sun a and Kirito's party!

Who are the other players? Tell me about the members yuuki of A sun a and Kirito's party!

All right, then, I'll be glad to explain.

First, there's Silica.

She's a short sword-wielding beast-tamer.

She assists us by using the special skills of her familiar, Pina.

Next is Leaf a.

She's my kid sister and a sword-wielding, magic-using Sylph.

Although she can use magic,

since she's fought in the kendo nationals, she's better at swordplay.

In the real world, I have no chance against her, either.

And then there's Lisbeth.

She's this swindler of a blacksmith... yeah. That's it.

Huh?

Next, Agil.

He's this swindler of a merchant. That's it.

Kirito!

Next is Klein, right?

He's a swordsman and a womanizer. That's it.

Come on, Kirito! You need to introduce everyone properly!

Let's see... last but not least, Sinon.

This one's cold-blooded and—

This person is a lovely archer from the Cait Sith tribe,

and her name is Ms. Sinon!

Previously, she took part in a gun-orientated virtual MMO called GGO,

where she was a sniper, so her accuracy rate as an archer is unbelievable!

She's always looking after me! She's such a huge help!

That's all of the members of our party.

What did you think, yuuki?

Yeah, you seem to have a lot of fun comrades!

By the way, there seems to be one more member there...

Y-Yui?

Yui?

Daddy and Mommy... I can't believe you both forgot me.

That's so cruel!

Yui! Come back here!

S-Sorry about that, Yui!

Uh...

This has been my Question Corner!

SWORD ART OFFLINE 2 (tacitly) Approved by Reki Kawahara

Were you able to patch things up with Yui?

Y-Yes...

We got her to forgive us

by promising to take her to see that newly-discovered giraffe-type monster.

All right! The time has come to say goodbye.

yuuki, what did you think of today's episode?

Since we don't get to interact with other players that often,

I really enjoyed hearing all about your teammates!

Let's go clear a dungeon together sometime!

Sure! I'll be counting on you then!

All right, let's meet again in the next Sword Art Online II video!

Bye-bye!
