What’s the point of making a CAC if Kirito keeps showing up? 💀

Finally got my CAC looking exactly how I wanted.

Starts a character event

Kirito: "Hey."

Me: "...wth are you doing here? " 💀

I love these two

I have been a fan of Epic: the musical and the Odyssey in general, so I always thought that Kirito and Asuna are very similar with Odiseo and Penelope! So I did this moodboard about it, I hope u like it :D

If Crunchyroll starts removing physical media from its store, where am I gonna be able to buy the progressive blu rays? One of them is already sold out and I’m worried they’re gonna start not restocking it 😭.

Would the player inside SAO feel pain when they die and get shocked?

Also, a side question: what would be a good way to show PTSD from SAO three years after it has ended? Like a simple way would be a nightmare but what else?

Is it true that SAO:VS's Limited Valentine's Event (from February 2023) got so much backlash from fans that it caused Bandai to signifcantly tone down the "harem bait" aspect from the games going forward?

Context: I was scrolling through twitter when I stumbled across some cute artwork (images 2 and 3) from user @missa_cherryjam that was basically slandering SAO: VS's portrayal of Alice. Now, I never played SAO: VS, so I didn't get what the image was referring to, but then after some research, I learned that SAO: VS had the audacity to cook a limited Valenine's Day event in which the plot was basically Alice antagonizing Asuna over Kirito's atention (image 1)... a Valentine's Day event, where Bandai was constantly threatening to cuck Asuna. Wild.

But anyway, this revelation led me through a mini rabbit hole where I discovered that a lot of people on twitter hated that event so much, that it *supposedly* pushed Bandai to tone down the harem bait aspect that the Gameverse always had, to the point where Last Recollection, which released 7 or 8 months after that incident, and later even Fractured Daydream (2024) and Echoes of Aincrad (2026) had a significant less amount of those bs harem shenanigans, or so I've heard.

The SAO games do not interest me at all, but does anyone here who has actually played these games know if any of this is accurate? Because I find this whole situation endearing if it's true lol. Hopefully Bandai learned their lesson though, regardless of what made them change their approach to the romance aspect on the SAO games.

Was Kayaba really the final boss of SAO?

In episode 14, Kayaba states that he was the final boss of SAO, and after Kirito defeats him, the game ends.

However, in Ordinal Scale, we see the actual floor 100, with an entirely seperate boss fight. So was Kayaba bluffing? I feel like it was just to reward Kirito for discovering his identity, and besides, it seems pretty egotistical to make yourself the final boss of a video game. (Although, it's pretty egotistical to create a death game like SAO in the first place.)

So, what do you think? Was Kayaba actually the final boss, or was he bluffing?

Kazuto is lucky; he'll receive chocolates on Valentine's Day from his girlfriend, Asuna, and his adorable step-sister/cousin, Suguha. (Artist: くろの) 🙂
