If there are still any doubts anyone has about Sterben as a hospital-related term, I think this japanese nurse's blog explains it well.

It might not have any special meaning medically anywhere else -but- in Japanese hospitals where it's treated like a medical staff lingo.

"The Black Fencer".

So, if we're going by official anime names, Kirito's gonna be termed a fencer now.
Though surprisingly accurate, as a description for his battle style, the lack of a guard on his sword does go against the usual fencing swords...

I wonder what "The Flash" is going to be. I'm really hoping they don't make it the "Frash", ahaha.
The next wallpaper's probably in a couple of weeks.

Actually, if you look up in the dictionary, there's no huge difference between fencer and swordsman.

"Fencer" the first thing to my mind is Europe and Renaissance.

Me too, actually. But as I said, the definition is pretty much the same for both of them.

Depends on which dictionary... Mine says that it's the participant of the sport Fencing, which use only a certain type of sword. Swordsman has a much broader meaning, imo

A question about terminology.

3-prologue
At that time, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication's «SAO Incident Countermeasure Team» had informed them.
5-1
the first person to visit was Kikuoka, the acting home-side agent of the counter-measure team, at my bedside.
5-1 again
But leaving that aside, it seemed that the «Virtual Division» during the «SAO Case Victims Rescue Force» period, had only managed to accommodate all the players into hospitals due to his efforts.
6-13
He was a member of the «Virtual Division» and also an investigator in the «SAO Case Victims Rescue Force».
The question is: is this the same name in the original? Or one name in the first two places and another one in the second two?

In that order:
"SAO事件対策チーム" - SAO Incident Countermeasure Team
"対策チーム" - Countermeasure Team
"SAO事件被害者救出対策チーム" - SAO Incident Victims Rescue Countermeasure Team
"SAO事件対策チーム" - SAO Incident Countermeasure Team

Names below are sure at 95%, they were validated in the script of the French simulcast less than a month ago.

Asuna's this time:
"The Flash of Light".

"The Flash" stays "The Flash", I suppose.

If Agil and Klein are confirmed, the rest will probably be as the character material goes.

Exactly. I just need to know the time of airing of the simulcast to check every week the names.

Good find.

Klein is confirmed at 100%, Keita is correct, Kibaou is correct, Kirito is correct (who knows).

:lol: I'm so stupid I didn't notice that a lot of names starting with "K" can be confirmed with this.

Cradil -> Kuradeel or something starting with K is unlikely, judging by this picture.
