The moment that broke me was when they skipped half of the tower to the final boss and easily defeated him in the middle of the season. There was no reason why, they just deleted all the tension and worldbuilding up to that point FOR NOTHING.

[@Floched]

Filler is something I dread in anime, it's what makes Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece a challenge to truck through, but SAO is one anime where I belive it would have benefitted GREATLY. They always talk abt important stuff that happened between episodes which left me wondering, plus they have a damn solid supporting cast, like Klein, and Agil are so fun and I wish we had more time with them in some filler episodes.

[@abtimus]

@@hollowshield2315 yep, all was just rushed to oblivion and pushed aside like it was completely unimportant but i think that is exactly what makes you engage more into a world and the story! especially when you witness a journey of the people of this world from the beginning to the end…instead we skip so many parts of world and charakter bulding and by the middle of the season the whole game and world was finnished…so it never really mattered and therefor why should i care for other games and worlds and charakters in the SAO universe?

They went wrong precisely at.... Episode 2. Episode 2 shouldn't have been the first boss. We should have seen Kirito doing his solo run, operating on the fringes, but seeing other characters, even whole groups getting wiped out, while Kirito continues on. We should have SEEN Lisabet's party building up, and then seen it get wiped out. Let us see the Moonlit Black Cats as they start, and how they end up meeting Kirito later on, so that we get a better sense of things, and have time to invest before the deaths start happening. Hell, SHOW us Kirito's memories of the Beta Test, maybe he saw a GM use one of the consoles before, and is actually SEARCHING for one of those consoles that he can access, because there might be a window where he could get an item that might get him out, or at least give an edge to someone to end the death game. Giving that extra time, would've also had the effect of slowing Kirito's rise, while we get to see the other characters really get to do some things. So we see Asuna join the Knights of the Blood Oath, and rise in power to where we see her later, we see Laughing Coffin get rolling, we see the rise of Titan's Hand, forces that will come up later in the story. Klein actually gets to do things, as opposed to.... every other scene with Klein in it.

[@chidori7234]

Aincrad had so much potential, but then they had to stifle it with so much timeskips. Everything from Kirito's strength escalation, the romance plot, character devlopment, and so much more like the stuff you mentioned. It's ridiculous when you cram your titular arc that the show is all about in just a few episodes just so you can make room for another one within the first season.

[@dragonstryk7280]

@@chidori7234 For one, I would have likely stretched out the time with Sachi, built her up as a character more, have them fully fall in love, and make people believe she's a regular recurring character for a bit before viciously ripping it away. Include her and others in the opening theme standing with Kirito, basically selling that the Black Cats are going to be his regular team, right up until they get wiped, and then altered the opening to show them as black silhouettes behind him.... I may be slightly evil. Then we get the "Christmas Arc" over three episodes, where Kirito starts out barely moving (This would echo later in the fight with Kayaba after Asuna's death), until he hears about the possibility of an item that can resurrect a dead player at the end of part I, him on the hunt for the item, with whole guilds moving to secure it first for part II, with Klein and company arriving just before Kirito loses his life to the one guild, and standing in for him so he can go take down the boss, who drops just before we cut to part III. He gets the item, of course, but here, we get an entire episode of the fight, giving us a much needed action sequence where we see one of the first times thus far where Kirito goes all out as a solo player, no holding back to disguise his skill.

They also fixed Yui's motivation for inserting herself into Kirito and Asuna's lives because they are they most fundamentally broken people she's ever seen yet still manage to have something halfway resembling a nontoxic relationship.

BULLSHIT

[@joesunday199]

There is actually more wrong with Yui than just that. Yui basically acts as emotional blackmail against Asuna. Asuna is now emotionally tied to Yui as her "Mother" and Kirito was chosen as Yui's "Father". Meaning, If Asuna didn't love Kirito she'd still have to remain with him to play the "Mother" role for Yui. Which allows Kirito to keep his harem. Which, is something a few Harem Anime seem to have done. Introduced a "precious" little girl who sees the Main Character as her 'Father" and ALL the girls in the Harem as her "Mothers". Meaning none of them can leave otherwise it'll break the "precious" little girls heart. Which they can't do. Aside from that would Yui acts as a cheat code for Kirito. Kirito has to start back at level 1? No! Just have Yui restore him (pretty much) back to what was at in the last game. She also is something that no other player CAN have: an AI assistant. Kirito pretty much goes through the game just plain cheating.

It's amazing how much the abridged series looked at this, basically said "I agree" and instead of getting rid of it, they made it make sense (for the most part). I mean, let's be honest, it still doesn't really explain how Kurt (or actual Kirito for that matter) could save Yui as an in-game item and have it flagged to be "saved to his NervGear" (why is this even a feature unless you want cheating to occur?). But, now knowing that Yui was faking it, it makes sense how he was able to access the data without some or all of it being locked or just plain missing already. It also fixes the whole "only two that love each other" problem, helps them develop their character, and much more.

For me, the romance ruined this show. They turned badass Asuna into a damsel in distress, and instead of the tension, fear of dying, and battle with monsters, the show goes on a vacation trip. Then once the two love birds are done that shit, they go back and they get out of this world. Asuna is never badass again. SAO 2 had the same problem. They had a really go start, then half way through the spirit dies off after ANOTHER sexual assault scene. This show needs to pick a direction it wants to go.

[@zaynab-to-a]

Yui's transformation into an object as a substitute for death could have been a really good story opportunity. Maybe when it first happens, they're both reassured by this, the story treats it as her being temporarily incapacitated but will be okay in no time, and then when all the action has cooled down they bring her back, and... she's completely broken. Her character model is glitching all over the place, her voice distorts constantly, and her memory and ability to respond to her environment is worse than ChatGPT. Maybe in compressing her, Kirito "corrupted her software" and the thing he did to save her ultimately caused her current state. Kirito and Asuna would both be horrified by this, their relationship would be dramatically changed, and Kirito would be forced to reckon with a personal failure of his. Wracked with guilt, shame and longing for his daughter back, he becomes obsessed with finding a way to fix her, something that drives him into isolation once again, but this time instead of it making him powerful, it's caused and continued by the fact that he's *powerless*. It doesn't exactly mesh well with the core theme of the show and might mess with the tone, but it could easily add some really good drama, it would let other characters step up and fill the team role that Kirito would struggle to fill, and most importantly, make her death and resurrection meaningful and have consequences.

Sword art online had so much potential. They could've just show the whole adventure not going like. Episode 1: floor 1. And then we have episode 2: floor 37.

"why didn't globally activate the log out function!?" I lost it.

[@victorunger]

cuz it would have killed everyone. why is it these "plot holes" were explained in the show and ignored in the youtube vids?

[@totallynameless8861]

How would it have killed everyone to enable them to log out? It's not like it was the logging out that was killing them, it was their avatars dying.

[@victorunger]

Totally Nameless literally said why 10 minutes into the show. because the would send a signal to fry your brain if you tried to remove the gear. There was no log out on the menu either. so idk why I gotta explain this. maybe anime fans are trash. I watch got 3-4 times to get all the details and y'all can't watch a show for more than 10 minutes without thinking there are plot holes. you gotta finish a show before you can comment on the entire plot. then rewatch​ and make sure your plot holes are actually plot holes before you look like an idiot online.

[@kuroseryota3933]

Victor Unger Oh my god, you moron. Kayaba said that people would die if their avatars died OR if anyone from the OUTSIDE REMOVED THEIR NERVE GEAR. They also couldn't just cut off the power cause the nerve gear had an internal battery that would also fry your brain if the power is cut off. Now, if people wanted to get the players to the hospital, which they would really need to cause they would need to be provided nutrients from outside otherwise they'd die anyways, it would be almost impossible. So, Kayaba gave them a time lag. After like 15 minutes of running on its internal battery the nervegear would kill the players unless it's connected to a power source within the time limit. LOGGING PEOPLE OUT DOESN'T KILL THEM. That's why Kayaba removed the log out feature in the first place. Kirito could've restored that since they'd actually found a GM console and could access the source code. And didn't YOU see the anime? Kayaba logged out the 6k remaining people after Kirito killed him. HE LOGGED THEM OUT. I'll say this again, logging people out doesn't kill them. If you got to end of the show without knowing this, you have no right to call someone else an idiot.

[@victorunger]

Kurose Ryōta yes logging out doesn't kill them but it was impossible to log out. the release of the game didn't have it. only the beta did. Any method of quiting the game short of beating or the system logging them out would kill them. yes they survived because they were logged out but that was never an option or planned. so in all intents and purposes logging out of the game didn't exist.

Would they become jealous and try to hurt her in other ways? What does her life mean, to herself and others, if it can't be ended?

The absolute worst thing about the show is the lack of exploration. There's this ginormous world and we don't see any of it. It's even worse in the fairy arch. Kirito chooses the assassin class and starts defying everyone's beliefs about the class when he uses the magic in intuitive ways, but he only does that twice. It should be called "Wasted Potential Online"

Wasn't Yui also a therapeutic AI or something? That kind of sounds important, so assuming that her code was tied into the game, and Kirito yeeted her code into an item, how did the game not have some kind of error somewhere? I'm not a programmer or a coder or anything like that, but I'd assume that removing some lines of code from a game could potentially break it in some way.

It was literally the worst villain speech I’ve ever seen in any fiction, and Kirito’s apparent approval basically make me think he was ok taking away so much from everyone else just so he could have his wish fulfillment fantasy. It was literally the easiest setup for a virtual world bad, real world good message and the writer literally couldn’t even do that.

[@profviral]

I was hoping with the programming scene in regards to the series as a whole, Kirito would've looked for the code to initiate a mass player log out instead (which would've existed for when the game was cleared). Maybe because he's on the GM account, Kirito's flagged as admin and not affected, but he's surprised Asuna is still there and gets a messages from her guild members that a bunch of players were logged out, but many still remain (the players kidnapped during the Fairy Dance arc). Unable to access the code anymore to figure out why, Kirito speculates maybe it was a glitch caused by launching the log out before clearing the game but the remaining players continue on and both of them mourn Yui. After clearing the Skull Reaper, Kayaba gives himself away by mentioning some information that'd only be known to the GM (as you'd said: "not perfect explanation, but still a damn sight better than Kayaba-ex machina"). During their conversation after SAO is cleared when Asuna asks how they're still there, Kayaba tells them they should be thanking their daughter and when questioned if Yui's still alive, he gives them her crystal but is unclear whether it's a memento or something more, before disappearing. It'd make a whole lot more sense than Kirito being able to convert an AI into an item, gives a greater sense of ultimate reward in the hero's journey, and a better explanation of how Kayaba is able to appear in Alfheim.

They don't mention it in the show (I think; I've only watched the abridged version since my second pass of season 1 and first pass of 2), but there was a delay built in in case of loss of power/internet that basically let the government go around and collect all the players so that they could be put in hospitals to ensure they had both of those and keep the players alive during the years without any ability to eat. S'why Protag McDualwield wakes up in a hospital at the end of the first arc.

I feel like Yui would have been better as a character if she showed up in the beginning.

[@MelusinaRose]

It's the middle of the night and I'm re-watching SAO-hate videos, and I just remembered the thing that threw me off about Yui. Asuna and Kirito are roughly 14 years old. They live in the modern-day (if alternative) world. Theoretically, prior to the death game, they were, relatively speaking, normal CHILDREN. The death game might have allowed them to have a maturity beyond their years, but that's in regards to situational awareness, problem-solving, and crisis management. Not in RAISING A FAMILY. Why did they adopt Yui? They themselves are not adults, nor do they have any experience in raising children, as far as we know. And yet, they call Yui their child. Not a little girl that they've taken under their wing, not a little sister that is a sweet cinnamon roll, no, they chose to adopt her as their CHILD. I'm not sure about anyone else, but when I was 14, I was still in the height of my "adults are lame, my parents don't understand me, I'm obviously the coolest thing since sliced bread" period. I was a whiny little brat with a bad temper and propensity for shirking my responsibilities. I certainly never wanted to have MORE responsibilities, I just wanted more privileges without having to do the work. Having a kid? Yeah, that wasn't on my list of things that I thought would bring me a good time. Just, why a daughter? Why? I'm still confused about this, and it's been years since I gave a sh*t about this series. BTW, it's roughly 1AM and I'm probably mildly delirious, so sorry if I rambled too much to make sense.

Uh, at the point Yui becomes a character, Kazuto is 16 and Asuna is 17.
