That was some serious airtime after launching off the dragon.

Great episode, and a great addition to the cast even if I have no idea when we'll see her again.

Hopefully we see her again, but this episode was also a side-story, right? Maybe not, but we still could see her once in a while since she's is his personal blacksmith now.

Still loving this show. Now bring back Silica!

I mentioned this to a friend, but Silica should get her own spin-off show - Mahou Shoujo Silica-chan!

I assume it still was one, yes, but we've gone through all* the major characters in the promo/placeholder image and OP now, so they have to come back or else there's no cast left.

* Except deus ex machina-chan up top there. If she's not the crazy game creator's "dead little sister who he can't let go of and programmed into the game" I'll eat my non-existent hat. Though it'd be neat if it weren't something so predictable too. Maybe a variant of it where she's comatose in a hospital somewhere and he made SAO as a world she can move around freely in. Why it would require real death I don't know, but crazy guys are crazy.

You mean the girl up top in the picture? That looks like Yolko/Yoruko to me.

She looks nothing like Yolko. Also, watch the OP again. Right after Sachi.

Yeah, this girl, with all the screens around her screaming "I am totally in the code and stuff!".

- Silica, good luck with your fight. You need to win this.
- No…she can’t die already… Thank you Pina. But, that only gives her some time…what will happen now? She is saved by Kirito.
- Poor Pina… and that makes Silica sad…
- Kirito will help Silica to revive Pina. ^_^
- The reason he is doing all that… “It’s because you are looking like my little sister”
- If there is a character I want to die fast…is that redhead… How could she be like that with Silica?
- Silica is so cute and adorable.
- Silica in her underwear!
- Speaking about the real world…how many will be able to go back there?
- The redhead, well Rosalia, followed them… She needs to die now.
- Wow, the PKers will never be able to kill Kirito his life is regenerating faster than the damage he gets.
- Wow, Kirito is level 78 and has 14,500 HP…
- “Next time let’s meet in the real world” I hope you will meet again way before that.
- “And about the one day in my life that I had a big brother.” So lovely.

I love Silica already, I sure hope we will meet her again.

- And finally we meet Asuna again! Awesome! I was so waiting for this.
- Asuna decided to take a nap. She is so beautiful!
- Wow…I love her…she is so cute and adorable. Asuna!!!
- PKing while your opponent is sleeping… that sure is a dirty trick…
- They were not on time… just a little too late. Who the hell did that?
- It was Yoruko’s friend who got kill… I feel bad for her… going threw an experience like that.
- …Yoruko lost it…
- And she got killed.

Asuna, it’s so awesome to see you again! Love you! Fantastic episode.

Full Kirito/Asuna episode, the beginning of an arc, and looking to be one of the most important stories in the series so far. Very exciting. Even when hardly anything happens, the technical quality and the excellent presentation make Sword Art Online nearly constantly enjoyable to watch. The fights are spectacular, but seeing the main characters' feelings for each other develop is at least as nice.
