please keep spoiler and spoiler tag

Spoiler! :

Wouldn't you be afraid to meet the mother of your millionaire girlfriend ?
He probably doesn't have any idea how to handle himself in such situations , although it seems that Asuna did meet his mother so at least that.

Also he is going to steal her off to America , if I was him I'd avoid the mother like the plague as well

About the Harem I kinda like it the way it is now , it's clear who he choose yet they are still there and still messing around with his head.
Nothing is left open but you still have the feeling of a Harem in the air , that's at least how I see it

Spoiler! :

(example being sinon telling him to think of her every time he uses the sword haha)

urrr, this may seem like a dumb question but im a little confused at what is spoilers in this thread? the only thing that i was bothered to put spoilers on is content from vol.10 which hasn't finished, can anyone tell me what im not supposed to talk about without spoilers? or direct me to this threads specific rules (ive already read the forum rules)

Spoiler! :

lol, i loved that part too
i think it was just sinon trying to take the micky out kirito/get him into trouble and also trying to get the other girls jealous, i think she finds it obvious that kirito is precious to them, i also don't think she had any romantic feelings behind her statement, it was most likely her way of getting revenge on kirito (for pulling her tail) and getting him to owe her a favour

[M.A.D]

Q. You like Kirito, don’t you? Are you going to snatch him away?
A. The question is that I do like Asuna as well, huh.

Sinon swings both way!?

Well, if Sinon just like Asuna as a friend, that should be enough for Kirito to be declared off-limit. Then again, Lizbeth did tell Asuna that she'd be her dog, so it might have been just Asuna who.... I should stop talking now.

Anything beyond and relate to the current chapter/volume/arc. Which mean anything to do with V10 and other related SS. Although, it's safe to talk about any main story chapter that has been put up.

After analyzing Agil's Q&A, I discovered what manliness is:

Spoiler! :

Q. Bro! Teach me how to be a true man!
A. No shields.

Q. What’s your fighting style?
A. While taking on ten blows, inflict one fatal one back.

Taking ten blows head on without a shield and only needing to hit back once? Should we make Agil the official face of SAO's Gar?

Spoiler! :

Q. How did you GET that beautiful wife?
A. If you’re a man, go for broke.

So that is how you get woman; fight without a shield, take hits head on and only need to hit back once, and go for broke because after doing the other things you should be a true man!

Spoiler! :

Q. Isn’t it sad?
A. The heck is!? If you’re talking about how I can’t get a girl… yea, it’s real sad.

I wonder what steps Klein missed?

what Klein missed:

Spoiler! :

Egil is a tanker without shield (well, might not be like that, but at least he is a tank group captain/leader back in Aria). while Klein isn't

Spoiler! :

However, it was likely that Yuuki-kun was infected the moment she was born. The father was infected within that month. The virus infection was during September, and after the blood transfusion, the mother received a blood test.

I don't get the underlined part, since previously it was said that Yuuki was born in May.
Maybe the infection was detected in September?

Request from the anime thread:

https://twitter.com/kunori/status/245153990898229248 something about battle healing I think

2 about something Google translated as <body art> , I think related to bare handed skills?
https://twitter.com/kunori/status/245151957352853504

https://twitter.com/kunori/status/244475079893856256 something about shield bash? probably the fight between Heathcliff and Kirito

Taijutsu's a form of unarmed combat.

Answer to why Battle Healing didn't activate against Kuradeel:
"Battle Healing is as its name suggests, activated only during battle, so the player has to be in battle mode as well, not just the enemy. To be exact, the player has to be able to move with the main hand's weapon active, but since Kirito has the Taijutsu skill, it works even without drawing his sword."

Answer to whether Asuna is able to use Taijutsu:
"Asuna shouldn't have <Taijutsu>, so I think the reason why her hand shone during the scene where she hit Kirito was either due to the protection code's activation, or Asuna's anger aura!"

Answer to why the match didn't end after Heathcliff got his shield bash in:
"It's probably either because Kirito guarded with his swords, or the shield bash had low offensive ability since it was meant to cause a knockback."
(by the way, he guarded the shield bashes in the light novel with his swords, but totally failed in the anime.)

kinda explain why Kirito's HP is left at a few dot after he done killing The GleamEyes

Alright, before I go to bed, leaving this question here. What would be the action of raising a sword above the head and slashing it down called?

[Pryun]

Me~n?

jokes aside(not really), you can call it raising his sword above his head and slashing it down.

Whoops posted it in the anime thread ? my bad
Interesting info about the Battle Healing , weird that being paralyzed and stabbed doesn't put you in "battle mode".

Yeah I think the anime failed to show how evenly matched and intense that battle was,
the "impressive reaction speed" line was pointless in the anime and indeed no hit was taken during that fight expect the one in the end in the novel.

Thanks a lot Tap

Alright, before I go to bed, leaving this question here. What would be the action of raising a sword above the head and slashing it down called?

"Forward Slash"?
Maybe "Overhand" (Although might not fit , depends on the actual motion).

[Soni]

A vertical slash ? like the skill "Vertical" :<

[Pryun]

I think you meant to say, "Overhead (Slash?)" Which is immediately understood by me, but I don't know about other people...

[ssdan]
