FOR MEGAMI’S SAKE!!! CAN’T ANYONE JUST ENJOY THE ANIME AND OVERLOOK THE PLOTHOLES!!!

Seriously there are a few issues in this episode, but why do have to compare this to RL. Ok so Kirito got up and went off down the corridor. I could rant that he didn’t have a catheter inserted and then yanked it when he got up (Picture that! Punishment #1).

Also it is the future and medical technology would have advanced a bit; if they can hook up you Matrix-style to an online game, then medical knowledge would advance as well; Muscle wastage is reduced even today. So people, put the moans and groans back in your pants and grow a set!

Oh, – Sword Art Online = SAO > ALO…….??? (Punishment #2)

Well, I don’t know a lot about hospitals either, but I’d think that if a long-term coma patient like Kirito woke up, and then, because the nurse wasn’t paying attention, started walking around in a daze and then fell and broke his neck, someone would probably be sued…

I read all comments to my blogs no worries ^^. And for the Kirito staying alive part I meant how he managed to stay as a ghost, I did understand he allowed them to live as a reward for clearing the game part.

And yes I suppose if they’ve been out for 2 years no one will keep an eye on them, but I still think it’s a little unrealistic that there’s absolutely no one around. You’d think there’d be at least 1 person who needed to be alert around there. Not that I know anything about hospitals of course.

Ah yeah, I saw that change into immortal object thing, I laughed, but compared to the rest, it was just a small inconsistency that I didn’t think was worth mentioning seeing as I already wrote a lot.

Oh well then… guess I may just have to ignore the holes if there’s the explanation. Nothing at all? I know that they enter other games from now, nothing from there? I haven’t read ahead or anything so I got no idea and trying to stay hopeful…

And ha, I did make jokes about the matrix, but it looks like parts of it could’ve been based on the matrix then.

Hmm, not sure if you’ll read my post (or even see it)

I will answer some of your doubts.

How can Kirito still alive?
- Kayaba probably intentionally allowed Kirito and Asuna to stay alive as the reward for clearing SAO. He even said “congratulation for clearing the game” to both of them.

Where is everyone else in the hospital?
- Kirito and other players are likely to be kept in the area that they keep coma patients. In this area, it’s normal that no one will be around. Other thing is : All SAO players are in the sleep stage for over 2 years, no one will keep watching them for all days and night.

Sadly, there is no explanation for this deus-ex-machina. It’s just the cliche “A strong will defeated the programming”. Yeah, right…

I heard that Reki Kawahara is a big fan of The Matrix, so he often puts these Neo-like powers into his stories. It’s the same thing with the Incarnation System in Accel World but at least in AW it’s explained as part of the game.

Concerning Kayaba, they made a mistake with the Engrish, it was supposed to say “Changed into mortal object”. He allowed Kirito to have a fair duel.
