So if you don't know they was kinda just fighting this dude well home girl grabs that radio and hits him on the head and the radio gets dented pretty bad and is on the floor with that dude but I'm the next scenes it's perfectly fine back on the table I just thought that was funny of them to miss in animation and wanted to share.
Like a weird lamp, or something?
So, I stumbled upon this SAO poster and something feels off, or at least super interesting. The art style and character designs clearly scream around 2012—like, during the Aincrad arc era of the anime. It looks like a classic anime poster, not one from a light novel or anything.
But here’s the weird part: the rings featured on the poster look exactly like the ones from the very last arc of SAO, the Unital Ring arc. That’s like, way later in the timeline, like 14 years after the anime first aired.
So, my question is: Did Reki Kawahara actually have the whole story and ending planned out all along, way back when Aincrad first aired? Or is this poster actually a recent creation, made after Unital Ring? Because I distinctly remember seeing this poster long before Unital Ring even started.
Maybe I’m totally wrong, or maybe there’s some hidden meaning or secret behind this poster. Has anyone else noticed this or have any insight?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
P.S. I honestly don’t even know who made this poster or where it originally came from. I tried searching for its author or source but couldn’t find anything—maybe I didn’t look hard enough, but still, no luck. If anyone knows, please share!
For context:
I've been reading the progressive light novels at time of this post I'm currently about almost finished the third book, and this image comes from the second book where Kirito fights Morte in a duel, and I was actually really surprised by how the fight commenced, making me wonder what was even going to happen as I was reading, and that made me think how cool it would be animated.
Feel free to explain your words, though if most are referencing female characters, you might get a raised eyebrow.

What is Asuna and Alice's relationship like now?
Since in the anime they have had their tense moments since Alice doesn't like Asuna very much because of the Kirito issue and that, I would like to see them fight as a duo in a unital ring in the future

If the Underworld time flows roughly 1000x as fast as the real world, how do people from inside Underworld speak to outside through comma in real-time?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently looking for a few more moderators to help out with this community!
I started this Community as a space for SAO fans to connect, share fanart, discuss episodes, games, characters, theories, and more.
It’s been great seeing people join in, but I’m also moderating a bunch of other communities across different Lemmy instances, and it’s starting to be a bit much to manage on my own.
My Mental Health isn't doing so great, either.
If you’re a fan of Sword Art Online and want to help keep this place friendly, active, and spoiler-safe, I’d love to have you on board as a mod.
You don’t need prior experience — just a love for the series and a willingness to help keep things running smoothly.
Drop a comment here if you’re interested!
See you in the Underworld, – Teknevra
• Their personalities are so alike.
• They are both really funny.
• They always support their respective best friends.
• They are great warriors.
• Their interactions are always hilarious.
• They are both over 18.
• I love them both so much (biased I know Imao).
• I want more people from the main squad to get a girlfriend/boyfriend not just Kirito and Asuna (and Agil and his wife).
What do you think?
I would like to hear (read) your thoughts.
• SAO is my favorite anime, SAO movies and games are also my favorite.
• After experiencing SAO every other anime/movie/ game feels so bland and boring Imao.
Is SAO your favorite anime/movie/game? And how to you guys enjoy anything else after watching Peak Art Online?
I recently finished the anime for the fourth time and i’ve decided to buy the light novels.(volumes 19-21)
However, I really enjoyed Alice’s character and I hope that she still plays an important role in Unital Ring.
Does she remain a main or central character moving forward?
I found this settei image of SAO Alicization WotU that shows the characters' heights.
Kirito's at 170 cm whilst Vassago/PoH is at 176 cm (meanwhile Gabriel Miller is at 178 cm).
You think they would be much bigger than Kirito (like 185+ cm) but no they're not that much taller than him.
It doesn't seem like the police did much about it because in GGO you have XaXa on the loose, the police probably couldn't have done much, but they should've tried and caught at least a few members.
