Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night | Cameos

Just watch the Progressive films bring back memories the of first series that started it all.

You can see eiji too!LOL!Love they recreated this scene and only add more so that we know the other survivors exist now.

[@danknhshinki73]

One of the members of the Laughing Coffin Johnny Black exposes Kirito and Argo as beta testers. The second episode of the first series never has that scene.

[@heroboygamebase2286]

I know, right? It's like there are a few changes from the first show to Progressive.

[@MorokLeviathan]

Did the Light Novels explicitly mention how he exposed them? Because I think everyone in SAO was already aware that Argo was a beta-tester, she had been providing the guidebooks after all. (I have heard that the likes of Lind, Diavel and Kibaou were much greater 'jerks' in the LN's as well.) (I haven't read the Light Novels myself, yet.) But yeah, Johnny Black was (relatively) much more proactive in the Progressive Films than in the Series (during SAO).

@@MorokLeviathan The Progressive movies are kinda like a reboot from the first series. And let's not forget that Mito used to be a beta tester too.

[@MorokLeviathan]

@@heroboygamebase2286 Right, no one seemed to have found out about Mito being a beta-tester in the Progressive Films, though, luckily. (Can't say the same for her during her story in the SAO Mobile Game, Unleash Blading.) (Edit: To clarify, luckily *for her,* as beta-testers are discriminated against by a portion of the SAO survivors.)

@@MorokLeviathan I know it's hard to hear, but what if Aniplex makes a thrid Progressive film?

[@Slothful_Demon]

At 1:10 (the guy to the far right) is that Red-Eye XaXa (ZaZa)?

[@MorokLeviathan]

That's Johnny Black. He can also be seen at the left bottom from 1:03. (If you are referring to the white-grey/gray haired player from 1:14.) I don't think XaXa's face was ever fully shown. (Correction: XaXa's face was shown in conceptual art, at the very least. Maybe in the Anime too but I am not sure.)

@@MorokLeviathan oh right, I kinda forgot about Johnny Black ngl 😅
