For those who couldn't read Suguha's psych profile: ""The patient displays classic narcissistic and borderline sociopathic behavior, especially when engaging with her brother, Kazuto Kirigaya (aka Kirito aka xVx_K1r1t0_xVx_KillMe aka Daddy). This appears to stem from deeply held feelings of resentment, as well as internalized self-hatred regarding her Femininity, most likely originating from an as-yet-unknown event in the siblings' early childhood. The lifelong repression of these feelings seems to have bled into her other relationships as well, causing her to lash out at those she perceives weaker than herself. This behavior is most evident when interacting with her "friend" Recon, whom she CLEARLY has romantic feelings for, yet takes every opportunity to belittle and keep at an emotional distance, even though we can all tell what's going on and she should just admit she likes him and treat that poor, sweet, boy with the love and compassion he deserves! In short, I believe someone or something caused her to view any display of more traditionally feminine traits as something to be ashamed of, and seems to lay the blame solely on her brother. As for why this is the case, further investigation shall be needed."

[@Strong5Bad]

@@laurenceschuler9571 Not really, from a story perspective it makes perfect sense. Especially more-so in this Abridged series than the original, Kirito went through a whole arc in the first season about what it means to be a (at the very least) decent human being, possibly even a good person. However, it was all based around a power disparity that Kirito saw in the world and decided to use derogatory comments and gaming prowess to correct that disparity. Asuna and the others (namely Klein) showed him that people can like him despite being rude on occasion, but that just being an asshole pushes people away. All this to say that he can still crack jokes and hurl insults, but much like Asuna's insanity displayed in this episode, it's now just channeled towards specific people; the kind of people Kirito used to be (and the kind of people he still religiously made fun of, because who wouldn't take a shot at someone like Schmidt?).

To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote: “Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…” In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative. Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians: “They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.” This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man. You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes: “About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.” Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ.

Theory: Now that dying in the game doesn't mean dying in real life, Asuna is more reckless and willing to try using glitches to get out of her cage. The bed is her spawn point, and by not touching the floor of her cage and waiting a while, the game considers her in freefall, and gives her increasing speed, which eventually allows her to clip out of the cage by moving beyond the wall before it detects collision In short: Asuna keeps escaping because she accidentally became the first VR speedrunner.

And don't forget that they made the whole subplot about Kirito helping the Sylphs and Cait Siths make way more sense than in the actual show, since there Kirito kinda just said fuck it and went to help them just because, even though it was not in his plans, which would make sense if he didn't have a time limit of a week so any distraction from his objective is completely stupid because he's in a really short time limit. Here their objective is to get there in the first place, so it isn't a distraction that ended up becoming an opportunity to raid the world tree, it's all in favor of raiding the world tree in the first place. And it isn't even a major change, it's just basic logic, something that the original show clearly sucks at.

Psychological profile and Interaction Parameters: The patient displays classic narcissistic and borderline sociopathic behavior, especially when engaging with her brother, Kazuto Kirigaya (aka Kirito aka xVx_K1r1t0_xVx_kiLLMe aka daddy). This appears to stem from deeply held feelings of resentment, as well as internalized self-hatred regarding her own femininity, most likely originating from an as-yet-unknown event in the siblings early childhood. The lifelong repression of these feelings seems to have bled into her other relationships as well, causing her to lash out at those she perceives to be weaker than herself. This behavior is most evident when interacting with her “friend” Recon, whom she CLEARLY has romantic feelings for, yet takes every opportunity to belittle and keep at an emotional distance, even though we can all tell what’s going on and she should just admit she likes him and treat that poor, sweet boy with the love and compassion he deserves! In short, I believe someone or something has caused her to view any display of more traditionally feminine traits as something to be ashamed of, and seems to lay the blame solely on her brother. As far as why this is the case, further investigation shall be needed. Player Interaction Parameters: Familiarity: 3/10 -> 3/10 Kindness: 1/10 -> 5/10 Aggression: 6/10 -> 6/10 Caution: 7/10 -> 2/10 Respect: 5/10 -> 0/10 As good as I can get for now, let me know if I got something wrong.

We later find out she is like this because when they were kids she practiced kendo with her brother to spend time with him but since he was a kid he wasn’t really into it so didn’t fight it when their mom pushed him into doing coding instead, which made the sister feel like he abandoned her even though she could have hung out with him at any time but she chose to focus on proving their uncle wrong about girls sucking at kendo and I guess bully Kirito as one part petty/unjustaified revenge and 2nd part/main part for most of their lives an outlet to release her pent up stress from dealing with their uncle that no one is forcing her to deal with. Also I guess her being a jerk to the people she cares about is partly due to her uncle rubbing off on her or something.
