The fact that they revealed kayaba so early kind of ruined or ended the series way too soon. Actually wished they couldve made it to the end and fought him in the last battle.

but then the other half of the season is about kirito going to that alfelm world to save Asuna from rapey McRapeface and forms a harem in the process. And then the next season and the movie go downhill from there.

How I wish this would've played out They enter floor 100's boss room, armed to the teeth with gear far greater than any seen before, they hold their breath as they look around the room, looking for the boss in the silence Then they hear it The lone footsteps of their former leader stepping forward, clapping slowly, and beginning to congratulate them all making it this far He brandishes his sword, pointing the tip towards the crowd, telling them he is Kayaba, the final boss of Sword Art Online
For you see, this whole time Commander Heathcliff has actually been.... KAYABA AKIHIKO! .... WHAT? Wait, what? Kayaba, the creator of SAO, inventor of Nervgear! WHAT? That guy who's got us trapped here for 2 years! WHAT? Kayaba: Don't worry fam, I got this. *Scanners clip*
The raid team: So you gave yourself a unique skill AND admin privileges? You cheater! Heathcliff: K-Kirito! We must duel! Raid team: he's changing the subject!
Kirito: "There's nothing more boring than watching someone else play an RPG." I love how he just admitted the shows premise (Especially the second half of sao II) is stupid.
2nd half of sao isnt stupid, the two of them entirely enjoyable tbh. You guys just dont appreciate the fuckin anime. Dont watch if you hate the show. EAZY
they ruined it, name it best anime in there that has imagination like that back then? no way. VR wasn't a thing back then, it would be a huge market but they ruined it for ELFSHIT that has ugly ears. Honestly i don't hate elf that much, name it, no game no life has it, as elf, but i kinda enjoyed it because it is "NO GAME NO LIFE". not "SWORD ART ONLINE". IT WAS SWORD, you know NOT SOME STUPID ELF PLOT, gross. It reminds me of fairy tail development. Meh, unfortunately the fact told us viewer wants more elfy dovey character rather than survival-like thing. And what is it now? Alicization comes down at sword mindset again but SORRY, IT IS TOO LATE.
Kayaba : *Duel with me kirito-kun right here ,right now or come to the 100th floor* Kirito : *Yeah! Turn off that immortality* Kayaba : *You return dual weilding skill too!* Kirito : *Go wait on the 100th floor!* Asuna : *No dinner today, darling*
I'm guessing the only reason Kirito took a chance on attacking Kayaba was that he saw how utterly screwed the Front Lines would have been had they kept going after this floor and realized that there only chance of winning the game was to try and take a chance that Kayaba was in the game.
Actually playing the game with the players is Brilliant anyway. Then you can influence the players when they feel like giving up. Had Diavel not come along, Heathcliff probably would've stepped in
I think the twist and early reveal are fine on their own. The problem is mostly caused by a lack of proper buildup from the anime, due to their overreliance on timeskips for basically the entire Aincrad arc. We never really got a proper grasp on what was going on up to this point because they didnt allow for the worldbuilding you'd expect. 😅
In floor 100 Kayaba: oh you ACTUALLY made it? Very well then lets fight,oh and before we do- *paralyzes everyone and uses system immortality* kayaba: theeeere you go,all set- Tldr; kayaba is gonna cheat anyways
If only this Story went Like kayaba saying if you lose youl fight me for another day and kirito accepted the offer and dueled him and still lost to kayaba without asuna dying or Moving And then kayaba Teleports to the ruby palace waiting for them while Kirito and the others trained so hard to reach level 100 that would been cool instead of alfheim Right?
I really did enjoy Sao, the beginning of SAO that is, the music and the atmosphere was amazing, dying meant true death and that's something they get rid of at the end of s1. If they would've kept going with that and this dude was the final boss, j3ez it would've been great somehow
they really missed the mark not making the entire anime/manga solely about the SAO deathgame. would have made the whole Heathcliff reveal have far more weight. Having us see the relationship between Heathcliff and Kirito develop and giving scenes to Kirito slowly figuring out something was off until his realization that he was in fact the games designer. He says the duel was the first clue but we never see anything beyond that so it just seems like a last minute arsepull. Which is what I had hoped that SAO progressive was going to be about but its a cheap retreading of what we have seen, just from Asuna's perspective.
if this have not happened Kayaba would be fighting with kirito to beat the final boss, and then surprise them, that HE is the final boss, since SAO wont say "the game has been cleared" until he is killed.
Actually according to Game rules, the final boss from Ordinal Scale is the actual boss. Kayaba probably just tweaked with the system so that instead of the boss from ordinal scale, he would appear. The game creators can't simply just make a player the final boss. What if the player doesn't want to and simply let's his friends win? MMOs don't work like that.
Johann Jimenez No, Kayaba admits that he was gonna reveal that he was the final boss from around the 90th floor and then let the players be in disarray and fear that the final enemy is him waiting in the 100th floor.
considering his high level he likely would have not been oneshot either way, considering sword and shield is probably some more tanky setup and the skillset also rather defensive
I actually think that it would have been awesome if this played out the way Kayaba intended. That would have been one awesome fight and definitely one the greatest betrayals in anime history
18Rada89 not exactly. Kawahara stated he wanted to change things in the aincrad arc so that's why he started writing SAO: progressive(a re telling of aincrad that goes floor by floor so he has more time for plot development) since it's not finished yet and kawahara was involved in the making of the movie, it's possible he changed the final boss
the final boss in ordinal scale is the original boss develop by Argus, the corporation that produced the world's first VRMMO game, Sword Art Online. Kayaba simply change that.
they could have stretched that anime for like 50 seasons and i would have been here for the whole thing, they ended it in 14 episode and it was the saddest thing ever
Because I didn’t read the Manga beforehand, I was excited that the classic “Evil All Along” trope happened in the 14th episode rather than towards the end of the season. With 12 episodes still left, it opened up a plethora of storylines. Mainly, the heroes shock and horror that their friend, leader and hero to many was the madman that trapped them there, is spread over a few episodes. Asuna taking charge of the guild would have been amazing; she had zero depth up to this point, but her attaining leadership and with that focus, would be an opportunity to rectify that. Kirito being the lone swordsman for the entire season up to this point, being soundly defeated by Kayaba would be humbling. Kirito realizes he has to work with his friends fully if he has any chance of getting out of Aincrad. Then of course, the side characters will get some spotlight. These are the guys that will rally the people to take up arms against Kayaba. They need every abled bodied person to get through the next 15 floors, just to get to Kayaba.
1:19 With how many people watch others play sports, games, and now even RPGs this is not quite as true as it once was. Particularly when it is done well.
1:36 "well you are the only one who has beaten me, so you were obviously cheating"
Well, thank you for figuring out that I was Kayaba all along, now FIGHT ME.
JKM2468 well maybe Kirito tested how fast any player can go and then Heathcliff want faster then any normal player can go?
Well I mean in Kirito's defense that was not his only reasoning to think that Kayaba was Heathcliff

My only issue with this show is that they turned something that could've easily have been 2 seasons into half a season
TheM1844 "That" is your only issue? Really?
Pretty much. 2 seasons or even a full season would've given the characters more time to develop. Get accustomed to the world more, see their relationships with each other and whatnot. Like all my other issues could be solved if they gave it more time, instead of rushing
TheM1844 My thoughts EXACTLY. 2 full seasons would've been perfect to cover the 2/2.5 years in Aincrad. I fully agree on the 'give the characters more time to develop' argument. For Klein and Agil it's not such a big deal since they came back frequently. But Liz and Silica only had one episode. That sucked. It also might have been a good idea to make that first guild Kirito joined into a 4-5 episode arc. That would've given their deaths much more meaning. It also would've fixed those ridiculous time-skips. Kirito and Asuna could've gotten those extra few episodes to really justify the depth of their relationship. So yeah, it's kind of a shame they didn't go that direction.
Yup. 2 seasons in Aincrad, then would come the movie and then season 3. Thats how it would have been perfect
@@alpha-sama ikr
there's nothing more boring than watching others play an RPG. Hence all the SAO viewers. Good Job.
haha youtube and twitch is full of people watching others play video games. Kirito is out of touch with the gaming community.
This anime is from 2012 man. You tube wasn't full of people watching streamers then. Though I gotta admit, I too watch esports a lot.
No. I literally mean the viewers of Sword Art Online. Think about it.
Well I have no problem watching someone play a normal single player RPG, unless he meant watching someone play an MMO-RPG, cus THAT is boring
So you are saying Log Horizon and Overlord is boring then. You are going to get lot of angry fanboys after you then.

Which is what I had hoped that SAO progressive was going to be about but its a cheap retreading of what we have seen, just from Asuna's perspective.
You thought it was Kayaba Akihiko? HA! IT WAS I, DIO!
Well, it turns out that Heathcliff decided to keep it a secret that he's _Akihiko Kayaba_
0:38 was... was that the Pyro Airblast sound from tf2?
But in Ordinal Scale, The Final Boss isn't him, right? I'm confused
Pieter Jose Santoso exactly what I thought
He was going to weaken them with that boss and then surprise them
if this have not happened Kayaba would be fighting with kirito to beat the final boss, and then surprise them, that HE is the final boss, since SAO wont say "the game has been cleared" until he is killed.
Actually according to Game rules, the final boss from Ordinal Scale is the actual boss. Kayaba probably just tweaked with the system so that instead of the boss from ordinal scale, he would appear. The game creators can't simply just make a player the final boss. What if the player doesn't want to and simply let's his friends win? MMOs don't work like that.
Johann Jimenez No, Kayaba admits that he was gonna reveal that he was the final boss from around the 90th floor and then let the players be in disarray and fear that the final enemy is him waiting in the 100th floor.
Where's the scene where Heathcliff and Kirito referencing classic movies?
kirito attacks heathcliff
kirito fails
asuna comes
asuna realises
asuna and kirito teleports 10 meters away
1:05 kirito has the DIY fidget spinner template on his coat
Good catch
Heathcliff? From limbus?
ooh round and round we go
Imagine if heath was just an ordinary player who was better than kirito and was assassinated in plain sight
considering his high level he likely would have not been oneshot either way, considering sword and shield is probably some more tanky setup and the skillset also rather defensive
I actually think that it would have been awesome if this played out the way Kayaba intended. That would have been one awesome fight and definitely one the greatest betrayals in anime history
This was a long time ago...
Glad alicizarion brought back this feeling of epicness, death and includes blood and gore now
the game has been cleared
“Reveals” secret as if Kirito didn’t flat out solve it lol
Another hint would be his unusual appearance, especially considering the fact that it was supposed to be set to your real-life appearance
didn't expect Heathcliff to be the sword art online harbor butcher
For you see this whole time Commander Heathclif has actually been, Kayaba Ahkihito!
writers of ordinal scale forget about this scene
18Rada89 not exactly. Kawahara stated he wanted to change things in the aincrad arc so that's why he started writing SAO: progressive(a re telling of aincrad that goes floor by floor so he has more time for plot development) since it's not finished yet and kawahara was involved in the making of the movie, it's possible he changed the final boss
the final boss in ordinal scale is the original boss develop by Argus, the corporation that produced the world's first VRMMO game, Sword Art Online. Kayaba simply change that.
0:37 pyro airblast sound from tf2???
SAO would have been different if it wasn't for that TF2 Pyro's Airblast at 0:37
gotta appreciate kirito figuring it out because of his wounded ego xD
they could have stretched that anime for like 50 seasons and i would have been here for the whole thing, they ended it in 14 episode and it was the saddest thing ever
Nah the title more likely to be: Kirito find out and reveal Heathcliff's identity ;-;
Because I didn’t read the Manga beforehand, I was excited that the classic “Evil All Along” trope happened in the 14th episode rather than towards the end of the season. With 12 episodes still left, it opened up a plethora of storylines. Mainly, the heroes shock and horror that their friend, leader and hero to many was the madman that trapped them there, is spread over a few episodes.
Asuna taking charge of the guild would have been amazing; she had zero depth up to this point, but her attaining leadership and with that focus, would be an opportunity to rectify that.
Kirito being the lone swordsman for the entire season up to this point, being soundly defeated by Kayaba would be humbling. Kirito realizes he has to work with his friends fully if he has any chance of getting out of Aincrad.
Then of course, the side characters will get some spotlight. These are the guys that will rally the people to take up arms against Kayaba. They need every abled bodied person to get through the next 15 floors, just to get to Kayaba.
1:19 With how many people watch others play sports, games, and now even RPGs this is not quite as true as it once was. Particularly when it is done well.
Keep telling yourself that you twitch brain loser
Ah... S1 back when SAO is still good. *Swort Art Online* done, they did it, story ends.
