She's Sachi from SAO, any help would be apriciated.

Fun fact: Most "shoebox" apartments and densely packed homes in Japan do not have garages due to excellent train networks, many urban residents do not own vehicles.

This might be a hot take that has probably been written hundreds of times, but I think that the ALO arc is much better written in terms of storytelling than the SAO arc.

After binge-watching, I noticed that the SAO arc, until the last few episodes, felt somewhat like an anthology of self-contained stories , and the overall pacing seemed too fast with episodes like 3 skipping month in a matter of minutes. onversely, the ALO arc maintains a consistent plot and pace throughout, making it a much more cohesive story being told.

The often-criticized " incest element " is actually a very interesting plot point in terms of the feelings Suguha has for her brother and how she tries to get over it if you look past the surface level and the book and anime don't spend to much time on it.

I think the real biggest problem with the ALO arc is the unpleasantness of the **excessive depiction of sexual assault (the Oberon and Slugs scene)** towards the end but even that connects to the underworld FluctLight.

Hi Reddit! For some backround I wrote a Sword Art Online (SAO) fan fiction and made a family tree for the characters. Some of the pictures are just examples because the characters are original but based on the real people we don’t see in the show.

Also, this is just to the mods. This is not a low-effort post, and I was wondering if you could add a new flair about fan-created content/cosplay?

So before we start the one thing we know for certain is that this movie takes place between the end of the World of Underworld arc and the beginning of Unital Ring, meaning there's only about a one-month gap for the story to happen.

Exhibite 1: Kirito's outfit

In the poster, Kirito is wearing purple instead of his usual black outfit that he wears 99% of the time. His clothing also looks surprisingly similar to Eiji's suit from Ordinal Scale, where Eiji was trying to bring someone back. Maybe Kirito has a similar goal, except instead of becoming the villain, he's the hero. Asuna also looks happy standing beside him, which could support that idea.

Exhibite 2: Kirito's sword

Kirito appears to be holding what looks like either a remake or an upgraded version of the Elucidator, his iconic sword from SAO.

Exhibite 3: Aincrad Island

It's also obvious that Aincrad is floating in the background of the poster, which likely means the movie has some connection to the original SAO game.

My theory

Imagine if it were revealed that Sachi actually survived the NerveGear incident and had been in a coma ever since Episode 1. Her NerveGear could have been defective, causing it to deliver a severe but non-lethal electromagnetic surge instead of completely destroying her brain. As a result, she suffered massive cerebral hemorrhaging and arterial damage, leaving her in a permanent coma.

As a retcon, Kirito could have been secretly visiting her in the hospital about once a week throughout the series. When he says Sachi is dead, he genuinely believes she's gone. Whether someone is brain-dead or physically dead doesn't really change how he feels, because he still failed to protect her. Technically, the anime never actually shows Sachi's body or her grave.

After three years, her condition could begin to worsen, forcing Kirito and Asuna to search for a way to save her. They might try transferring her personality through SoulDive technology, or perhaps discover a way to restore her consciousness completely.

This also wouldn't necessarily affect the Unital Ring story. Even if Sachi survived, she'd likely still be severely disabled and recovering. At best, she'd need years of rehabilitation, and at worst, she could have the mental development of a young child due to prolonged brain injury, meaning she wouldn't have a major role in the events of Unital Ring.

Why did no one check on Kirito after the Moonlit Black Cats died? Did people just not know what happened, or were his relationships with others so bad that nobody cared enough to reach out to him? Like I read the light novels and it feels more than just a light novel to show miss-translation.

Yes its me again talking about the best Waifu. So in episode 3. where Sachi sends Kirito the crvsta message, also seen in (picture #1), we see a painting on the wall of the room (picture #2). I ooked, and it looked almost exactly like Michelangelo's painting, "The Creation of Adam." The painting itself is supposed to show that the hear-touch symbolizes the spark of life passing from the divine to the human, and the human not being able to reach it because his finger is not outstretched. Then, back to SÃO, to Sachi, Kirita was like a god who was giving her life from his cuddles and presence in her life, which she wasn't able to take his hand, and as a result, died on floor 27.

P.S: Hello mods, in reposting this as i have forgot to sensor the painting and made my last post as NSFW which killed it in traction and discussion, so thanks for letting me repost.
