[@mrdot1126]

nope... the 4000 something players that died during the game , actually died..

[@kamisorimobiusu3338]

Facts guess thats why the revive crystal said administer 10 seconds after death

[@oldscooljoe6194]

And reki couldnt think of any reason for akiheko to put 10000 people hostage in a deathgame other than "i like the iron clad castle" Sword art online would have been so much better if the main villan actually had a good reason for all this. Maybe throw in some clashing phylosophy. Something we can think about, the plot would have been a 1000 times better if reki (the writer) decided that the villan thinks the world currently is corrupt and flawed, and with taking 10000 people hostage in a death game he wants to show the world how people really react when left alone, throw in some actual reason for death. Dont just put some psychopaths together and call that the human villans, no givw them some slack, maybe give laughing coffin the same reason for killing people reki tought of in advance, people are flawed thinkers. Doing something like that gives this story way more depth

[@oldscooljoe6194]

@@Spiritrobore i expected a lot more of a villan who abducted 10000 people. Kayaba issnt this srupid to put that many people's lifes on the line because he wanted iron clad to escape to. Its really just a missed oppurtunity, they could have played a lot more with kayaba's caracter. Right now he is a standard depressed/escapist scientist /gamer. Wich really is a shame. Untill yui came into the show i was hooked, the first 9 episodes arent bad, (except maybe for introducing us to caracters wich will never be important again later on). You know, the show puts itself up as if its a futuristic thriller while to me it feels more like a failed comedy,

Actually it's War of the Underworld but yeah you're right.

[@ritoplsfixclient1667]

Amazing how everyone gets this wrong. That scene was just in Kiritos's head (he was imagining dying), and at the very end when he was about to give up, he thought about Asuna and clearing that game, that he somehow managed to get the strength to actually stab Heathcliff, and therefore clearing the game. That scene literally has him standing still with Asuna's sword without moving a single muscle. On the other hand, the death animation (again inside his head) has him in motion.

[@Towelgravy]

I only just now realized his real reason for creating the world. His dream was to achieve exactly what kirito did by accident. Forge a connection with someone. He was a loner who didn't have much connection to people in the real world and couldn't relate to anyone. However, if he was placed in a world in which how hard you try and how long you work does directly effect your wealth and power? Working 20 hour days all of a sudden is guarenteed to help and eventually you will be forced into close quarters with someone who will eventually appreciate you, given enough time.. and assuming you aren't an asshole. Unfortunately for him, he was an asshole.. but at least Kirito got to love someone who he never would have even met if it wasn't for SAO. Unlike real like, in which the amount of work required for something does not really have much of a relation to the benefit. You spend 10 years mining coal for 20 dollars an hour, and you won't be able to lift a house to show your efforts... but someone who spoke for 10 years on a successful podcast can buy a house to show off their efforts..

I’m pretty sure There’s an explanation on how he managed to live even though he *died*. It’s in the movie or Alicization and it goes like... There was a scraped game mechanic that basically gave the player strengths and abilities based on their will. This is from memory and I’m not even sure I got it right.

[@alejandrodiazmera2650]

All peolpe that died on the game died on real life. The difference is that there is a little delay between your character is destroyed and the nervegear processes it so it fries your brain, that time lapse is about 12 seconds (which is the same time it has the resurrection item to work) and the game was completed without Asuna or Kirito passing that phase so they survived.

[@TerraAustralis01]

[@splatoonistproductions5345]

I loved this series, always have always will, intro and the ideals, imma so emotional rn 😭😭😭

[@SinzPet-]

Remember, there was an item that could revive a player within a certain timelimit. That means that players dont actually die instantly, to allow for that timedelay where one might be able to revive them. So my theory is that kirito didnt actually die yet when stabbed, sort of an alternate future anime's like to do alot and that he stabbed Kayaba back in the last moment. Thus clearing the game. And that since he had now cleared the game, his "death" was nullified as well as Asuna's as they were both in the time-delay :) thats what i think anyways otherwise it doesnt make sense

[@nikey7988]

Everyone who died in Sao actually died for real irl. The only reason kirito and asuna didnt die is because there is a short delay before the NVG fries your brain. During that time Kayaba/Heathcliff/GM teleported both of them to safety before they died irl.

[@EivinStaElena]

I like to think that Klien used the revive crystal kirito gave him during the Christmas Event while fighting the commander which kinda explains why he died then came back for a moment

[@mateodebeer3251]

This is exactly my thought and to add on that I think why Asuna survived is because Kirito cleared the game within 10 seconds of her dying wich is the revival period.

[@elijahhawkins4033]

I know that you may have already clued in to it since it has been so long since you made these videos, but I figured I’d give an extra perspective. Do you remember the revival crystal from episode three or four? It’s item description said it was capable of reviving someone if it was administered within the first ten seconds of their death in the game. So that means that for it to actually work, there has to be at the very least a ten, probably somewhere closer to fifteen to twenty, second delay from the moment of their death in the game to the moment the nerve gear was set to destroy their brains. My theory is that because of that time period, they would be sent to that invisible platform overlooking the floating castle of Aincrad for a short while before they were actually killed so that they could see the whole thing for one last time. Since Asuna died, and Kirito died and killed Heathcliff (Akihiko Kayaba) within a short amount of time, they were still within the timeframe of being able to be resurrected and they were all sent to the “death lobby” per sé. However, the execution order was never actually carried through, because the moment that Heathcliff was defeated, the cardinal system was shut down; stopping all of its processes, including death. So, yes the other nearly four thousand people died, but those who were killed seconds before the game was cleared were spared, and Kirito was able to wake up after death, unlike so many others. Thank you so much for all these videos! I’ve been staying up all night binging these and it’s so amazing to see your take on them and see you go through so many of the thoughts and processes I did years ago when I first watched this anime. I love the videos and I really hope to see more, of both your second season and I hope you go over the two parts of the newer third season as well! Sword Art Online never gets old for me and is priceless every time. I’m looking forward to it! Thanks again!

[@GDPancake895]

You had the same reactions I did when I first watched this anime. You're not the only one who cried during that fight scene and asuna dying 😭😭

[@joec2078]

And just like that, the first known case of Will Incarnate was born within the Cardinal System. Overriding the system through will power. Something that becomes much more prevalent in the Alicization Arc due to the STL and a person's fluctlight being part of the processor. Something that doesn't get named until Accel World, some 20ish years after Kirito duels Kayaba. Edit: If you think back at when Kirito fought the Christmas raid boss for the res item, it said to use it within a certain time frame after the player dies. There is a minute delay between dying in the game and dying IRL. Kirito managed to clear the game in less than a minute after Asuna died so she never got zapped.

[@fakepasta3935]

Every single person that died, died. But he and Asuna were lucky because they died when the game was cleared. A loophole. Well, that and that they are wearing extremely thick plot armor.

I just found your channel and I'm really enjoying your content and I love your reactions to Sao! You just got a new subscriber!

[@Sir-Bane]

Yesss we've been waiting for this episode for so long! 15 Tomorrow?! You need to upload faster Suzy!

[@Chiyubelle]

Everyone that died did die. I can't wait to see what you think of the 2nd half of SAO now.

[@KaylinMajestic]

2nd half of season 1*

[@SytharX]

I have to say, you reaction is the best SAO reaction I've ever watched, and I've watched a few. You get so into it, it's great :)

[@candel0692]

Kirito (Kazuto) was able to survive due to him winning the game within 10 seconds of him being "killed" (which was the window to revive players) therefore the nerve gear didn't get the chance to fry his brainbox.

"Is that a cather- AAAAAAH"

[@outsidetheboxdesigns6265]

If you ever get the time for an anime film review, please watch A Silent Voice. Such an amazing film!!!

[@JaiGalz]

6:10 that reaction xD I really love how you react, it's so authentic!

[@Great_Olaf5]

One of the underlying themes in SAO is the ability of willpower to override and break the limitations imposed by the system. That's how Asuna was able to break admin paralysis, how Kirito was able to force himself back together to beat Kayaba. There were also hints about it earlier, Kayaba mentioned earlier that Kirito exceeded his expectations, he was able to move faster than the system was supposed to restrict him to with his stats, enough so that Kayaba had to cheat to beat him. It shows up in later arcs too, though I'm not sure if it's explicitly referenced in the series anywhere. No, we're not supposed to like him, but you don't have to like someone to understand them.

[@samo_vex7546]

Remember when his eyes turned gold when he defeated Kayaba. That is the moment when... Nahh I will wait until you finish the season. Not gonna spoil anything

[@capax1559]

7:49 I'm not the emotional type of person but shit that moment got me tear up a little

[@roberthreaper108]

Remember, there is a delay; which the one item could be used to save your life. The game ended before they were killed.

[@JumpyZ_]

man, this does bring back some great memories. sao s2 didn't even finish airing yet during the time I watched

[@teryvt888]

Waiting for the second arc of S1, S2, S3 and S4 which is ongoing.

[@freexp8928]

I just want to point out that with how much HP the Skull Reaper had they must have been fighting it for hours.

[@jaden577]

That platform that they were standing on that was overlooking the castle is where all the players who died went while the system was deleting their avatars. However, since kirito and asuna beat the game, it logged everyone out and the mainframe deleted the world before it finished deleting their avatars meaning that they were still technically “alive” just waiting on the servers to delete them, but it deleted itself and logged them out before it finished deleting their avatars. If their avatars had been deleted, then the nerve gear would have disabled the safety and killed them

[@LizAya22]

The best way to answer your question: “people die when they are killed...in game”.

[@Studio-bs8rm]

何回観ても感動する😭

[@DragonSin-tm3yf]

Nah, that 4000 people actually died, and ooo i've been waiting for so long for this video

[@Fall2RUIN]

Remember how the Rudolph Crystal can bring back somebody who has been killed within I believe it is the last 3 minutes? Well it can't unfry someone's brain so what it must mean is that for those 3 minutes person who has died sits in limbo to see if they will be revived by the crystal but the game was cleared within 3 minutes of Kirito and Asuna dying so their brains were not fried before the program shut down. As for why he made it, the reason he explains for why he made it was "I wanted to create a world" not a game but a world I want. You can't logout of a world, you live there and if you die in the world you die, but the real point of kayaba's goal was Kirito under the tree and their family living on that floor with the pond and the fish, it was people saying the sky is beautiful today and living in that world. Kirito was Kyaba's dream.

[@Ferdy_Yuugitsune1040]

Kirito alive because he reiceved a secret gift from Kayaba for clearing the game.

[@66KevVv]

Suzy gogo Season 2 also! It's amazing aswell! :D It's about Kirito & Asuna again you should watch it!

[@tocide]

"This is not the end"

[@faanvugeincynicalassassin]

I'm sorry, but the moment I saw him have those flashbacks, I knew immediately what his answer was going to be. And I would have given the same answer.

[@YoshiroPoh]

The true reason for Kayaba's deed is still unknown, but small details/connections are still being connected together. It's like a hidden meaning in the whole novel.
