KIRITO & ASUNA VS ILLFANG!! - Sword Art Online Episode 2 REACTION!

If you’ve heard of the movie Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night, it basically covers the first two episodes of this series, but from Asuna’s perspective. One thing you find out about the Aincrad arc (the first one) is as good as it is, it’s quite rushed. That’s because the original work was just one novel long, and it basically covers the first episode, then jumps all the way to the end of the arc. The reason is because the original novel was submitted for (and won) the Dengeki Bunko award, and to qualify for that one must write a story that comes to a definitive end. The series was developed after the fact. Volumes 2, 4, 8, and 21 all contain short stories for Aincrad; other short stories were published for web, conventions, or DVD box sets, but not published (as of yet) by Kadokawa, and as you collect all these sources together that’s how you get the Aincrad arc. However, it was never fleshed out the way Reki Kawahara wanted it. That’s what the Progressive series is - the author going back to the Aincrad arc and rewriting it floor by floor. And I want to say as of volume 8 we’re on either floor 6 or 7.

[@silvervibranium2832]

Kirito is not a villian. But the group was looking for a scapegoat. Diabel's last words were begging him to keep everyone together. So Kirito swallowed hard, and pretended to be evil so everyone would join together...and HATE HIM. He called beta testers weaker than him, so players would hate HIM instead of them. So now he's "that BEATER", the one everyone hates.

[@Too_li]

I kinda love sao and always find my self rewatching it and I never understood why he acted like that then till now. Thanks for that lmao

[@saifanitriramadani]

In SAO, if you're using a health potion while your HP is decreasing, the health potion's effect will work after your HP stop decreasing. So, in Diavel's case, it won't work because his HP decreased to zero before the potion work and he stop Kirito so he won't waste such asset. (Atleast that's how I heard and theorized on how the potion work) He had time to talk because there's ten second between HP reaching zero and the NerveGear killing them

8:32 Tons of people have always complained or been angry about that but I think it's pretty obvious, when you've already taken fatal damage in a game, can you really drink a potion then? I take it as it was already too late for the guy to drink the potion, he just had some extra seconds of living for drama sake, if you could just drink potions after you've already taken the damage you would be immortal.

[@glaedrmordordragonrider2501]

Daaamn im so happy for your reactions! They are true and i can see you are enjoying! This anime is awesome!

[@andrewdangvietnameseameric4673]

That's a good question because Diabo's hp is already at zero so too late to gain potion so that's why he died. I'm pretty sure but maybe I'm wrong

[@ozoahameg3582]

true many people gets confused by that scene but yes his HP is already zero so potions wont heal him anymore

[@dbly50]

Also potions in sao don’t instantly heal they heal a little bit over time so you can pop a potion and still die if your Hp is going down faster than the potion heals

[@biggzy9677]

I Can think of two reasons why the beta testers didn't know where the boss room is. 1. The boss room in each dungeon is in a random location in the dungeon every time. 2. The beta testers did know where the boss room was and chose not to divulge that as beta testers were being discriminated against and them knowing that information would out them as beta testers. It would be far safer for them just letting someone else find it.

[@aftermath8946]

happy to see someone enjoying SAO i have not seen a lot nowadays keep up the good work cant wait to see your next reaction

[@cocoy4903]

SAO is like one of the best animes of its time, but it had a decline then rise in the alicization arc. Hope you enjoy the ride!

[@mrblueblack]

You should also watch log horizon. It's also another great game related anime where players are stuck in the game but it goes into more detail,world-building , strategy and they cant die so it's interesting.

[@tortoiseknight8438]

Ah, to watch the Aincrad arc for the first time... Enjoy it my dude

[@Johten]

LET'S GOOOO!!!! MORE SAO. Hope you continue to love and watch it!

[@LullabyeNyah]

There are a lot of reasons and theories why Diablo never took the potion. The biggest theory I was able to come to terms with was the fact that he wanted to accept death. You have to understand that there are lots of people that are fearful of the situation they are in. Think of it as though you’re a teenager stepping into adulthood. Now you have to get a job or go to college, pay taxes, commit to society, and find a goal in life to live for. In this sense, everyone has to constantly survive in this game of death where there are no do-overs. Thus, it was theorized that Diablo wanted to cheat for the bonus loot, but when it came time that he was going to die, he accepted it instead of living in constant fear of having to survive in SAO.

[@lumen7626]

ahh realy miss this SAO feeling, for SAO season 1 is te best of all season :)

[@MonderMurshed]

true

[@testaccrun4830]

For me alicization I love that season and it hooked me to read the novel

[@HikaruDaisukii]

Imma have to cap on that one. Have you watched aalicization?

[@lumen7626]

@@HikaruDaisukii yes i do ,the visual allicization ofc the best but the story flow i just feel SAO s1 (ep 1-14) the best for me :)

[@HikaruDaisukii]

I mean, if youre talking about story flow, the Progressive Novels did a way better job of doing it. The first seasons flow (1-14) is just not consistent at all. Eps 1-2 on the first floor? Fck it, Skip to floor 40something in ep 3. I get what you mean. Its just that alicization did the story way better for me. Alicization for me is what the Aincrad arc should've been. Ps: ep 1 and 2 are some of the best episodes in SAO cuz it captures the dark feeling that the rest of the season just doesn't.

[@Skrulzie]

So in SAO when you get hit it obviously does a certain amount of damage. If your health drops low taking a potion makes sense. However if the damage you take inevitably drops your HP to 0 after calculations a health potion won't work. You could try but the potion effect would not start until the HP stops. Since HP would hit 0 the potion would be wasted. Diabel knew this and as such stopped Kirito from trying to give him it. In the beta test it may have been possible for the potion to work even after hitting 0. However 0 HP means death permanently. Hope that cleared it up for you and others. (I know the video is old but ya never know)

[@mannyman5026]

I would read the light novels also the series is just so good. It makes the experience so much better

[@OffBrandJnnelly]

I can't wait til he gets to the alicization arc, shit goes wild

[@FLagstarMusic]

Diabel knew it was too late for the potion

[@ArgoInfoBroker]

So the reason that he didn't take the potion is kind of two reasons. First of all, he felt guilty for trying to take advantage of the raid party and take the special item for himself, which tbh I kind of feel he would have deserved anyway for his leadership during the fight. But mostly I'm pretty sure at that point his HP was at 0. There is a small period between your HP hitting 0 and your in-game character being destroyed and your brain being fried. This actually is important to acknowledge because there is technically an item that exists in SAO that can revive a player whose HP has hit 0 as long as you activate it within about 10 seconds. That timer is because it takes about that long for the part of the nervegear that fries your brain to power up. I think at the point his HP was at 0 a health potion would have done nothing. Basically only a revival item would have worked at that stage.

[@ArgoInfoBroker]

Oh and the reason that Kirito acted all like he was so much better than the other beta-testers at the end there is because he knew that people would paint beta-testers all in the same light. As a bunch of cheaters who hoarded information for themselves. By basically making himself an outcast, he's trying to put the blame all on himself to take the heat off the rest of the beta testers. This was successful partially as it took the majority of the suspicion off beta testers, however there were small subsections of players who still didn't trust them and made it a point to hunt them and punish them (in some cases trying to kill them) This is something that almost happened to Argo, who is a character you won't really get any info on in the anime but she is the info broker that provided the guide books that detailed the information on the boss fight. She does appear briefly in one of the upcoming episodes but I don't believe her name is mentioned. She's characterised as a hooded girl with painted-on whiskers though, so keep an eye out.

[@Kits-Seven]

I agree with you about the betas. Just because they played the game to the best of their ability, doesn't make them a cheater, where other people made a mistake. It kinda seems like he's trying to blame the beta testers for what's happening

If you want to understand this series better, i would definitely recommend you watching the English Dub version. There are some times in the series where the subtitles don't exactly match up with what they're saying word for word. I don't know about you but I think that you should try and stick the English dub version from now on just so you better understand what's going on in certain scenes.

[@soschar2050]

This episode wasn't in the LN, actually. It's a sidestory from Progressive (which is basically a collection of sidestories). But I really don't like this scene at the end. It's just a case of everybody involved, Kirito, Kibaou, and Diabel, acting like an idiot. You see, Kibaou is being a self-serving asshole and decides that everything is the beta testers fault because they don't share information with everyone. You'd expect him to realize that beta testers with their knowledge are their best chance of clearing the floors and surviving, which Agil already tried to point out at the start. But instead, he tries to ostracize all beta testers and publicly paint them as the bad guys right after the first floor is cleared, which means Kirito is forced to step in and take the blame himself while sadly overall drastically reducing players' chances of survival since beta testers could no longer share information at the risk of their reputation and safety. But you already know this since it has been pointed out in the comments below, but the amount of people who misunderstand this act he was putting on for genuine arrogance (which Kirito only shows to people who are asking for it) and use that to criticize Kirito's character is baffling. For an extra bit of irony, however, here's a little bit of Light-Novel-exclusive trivia: Part of the reason Kibaou is being such an asshole is because he blames Diabel's death on Kirito and the other beta testers for withholding information so that someone like Kirito can get the Last Hit and the item drop. _This is exactly what Diabel was doing._ He even tried to get Kibaou to buy Kirito's sword and weaken him to raise the chances of succeeding. Yeah, Novel Diabel is much less innocent than Anime Diabel. What Kirito should have done here is divulge the information and let Kibaou realize that he's been used like a sucker. He also could have gone a long way in promoting cooperation. ("We all have to work together anyways if we want to clear all 100 floors, so who cares who gets which items?"). Instead, he decides to honor Diabel's death, and not to divulge this info (which to be fair is more justified in the anime because Anime Diabel is much nicer), and the resulting stigma regarding Beta-testers has resounding repercussions throughout the rest of this arc, the competition for grinding and power grows out of control for a long time which probably caused a number of off-screen deaths.
