Reki Kawahara reaches into a hat labeled 'villains', pulls out a slip of paper. On it is written the words 'rapey guy'. The hat falls, and hundreds of paper slips spill out. They all say 'rapey guy'.
Rape is a special kind of evil, and it's one that Kirito would never consider, as seen in episode 5. That's how you get an audience to like someone doing bad things; make them do the bad things against even worse people.
@@maxrichards3881 If that's your ultimate definition of evil, you've got a limited imagination, a sheltered life, or both. Simple example: would you rather be raped, or tortured to death?
Yeah, but it’s also easy to overuse as a plot device. It’s incredibly effective to make a villain who is rapey, because almost everyone considers it to be a detestable trait and it also makes people very uncomfortable, but it’s also very easy to overuse. If multiple villains in the same work can be summed up as “rapey guy,” viewers are going to take notice, especially if the author just relies on that aspect of the character to communicate that they’re evil, instead of putting in work to show other things you should hate about them. Also, it’s just hard to enjoy hating a rapey villain. Murderous villains, insane villains, you can root for their downfall while still enjoying the ensuing process. Like Kayaba. He was definitely a villain, but it was fun to watch his craziness unfold and the characters take him down. Rapey villains, though? No, too icky. You can enjoy watching them inevitably fall, but it’s hard to enjoy the schemes of someone who’s ultimate goal is “rape x.”
@@dawnfire82being tortured to death has an end in sight though. It *will* end, and you'll be free of the suffering. The victim of a rape has to live with that, forever.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Asuna did end up making a sandwich at the end of this with a "hunk of fine-ass human meat," Sugou's specifically. I'm not as sure about Kirito's willingness to eat it though.
Cousin* and in his defence, she is 2 or 3 years younger and he was set back on muscular development for over two years of lying still- atrophy is a bitch and makes for a good chance for dystrophy to kick in as well.
@@OmniscientWarrior and, you know, he's been fighting with the game system which makes you telegraph your strikes while she's been fighting without that making a mess of her sword techniques. That didn't help.
Nah. Asuna obviously just became a racist all on her own. That’s definitely not a thing you’d pick up from the people around you or anything. People are totally just born racist.
@Jordon R To be fair she had personality in the first arc. Then she started dating Kirito and said personality started to fade away, and by the Fairy Dance arc it was gone.
@@CrissAssasin7 she was still cool after starting to date Kirito. She just warmed up. In Alfheim tho, they just wasted her. It seems like she's cool again after Mother's Rosario.
@@haydentravis3348 Still...better than the one we actually got in the Anime. I know people love her but I thought the original Sugua was so damn annoying.
@@haydentravis3348 Ironically I suspect Asuna would better play the expected big sister role in that case. She'd be at Suguha's throat over her treatment of Kirito then give him shit for not standing up to her.
I love it how in the Kirito PTSD dream Asuna’s speech indirectly assumes that for Kirito, deaths of thousands of people is just as much of a disaster as man banging a fish.
what if thats sir fairy dicks grand plan? you cant claim it was kidnapping after all the log out was never disabled she could leave at any time, all she would have to do is open a menu
I swear, they'll get to where Kirito finds her and he'll ask her if she tried logging out, she'll stammer and he'll just stare in shock and laughter as he realizes she couldn't open the menu AGAIN
she's also likely one of the main reasons he acts like a total asshole when he's actually in control of the situation in SAO for once (aside from the implied bullying from other people).
Come to think about it... Suguha's personality really is genius, isn't it? Not only does it show why Kirito is such an asshole, it also explains why she falls for him way better. In real life, Kirito's kind of a coward. In-game however, none of that is present, which not only explains how she never recognized him at all, even when his avatar looks so much like the real him, but it also explains what pulls her to him. The only thing she feel attracted to seems to be someone who is just as egoistic as her, or even someone who out-egoes her. This season is gonna be fucking fantastic, I can tell already.
hopefully it's they don't do that here thought. I just want Leafa to fall for Kirito, flirt with him till the cows come home, make a lot sexual advances to him only for Kirito to vehemently and wittingly refuse them in ways only abridged Kirito, then for Leafa to horrifyingly realise that the person she had the hots for so long was his pansy ass of a brother

I wonder if she is still going to be into him later on. I can't decide if Kirito is going to be too weirded out to say anything or if he is going to lord it all over her like the bastard he is once the truth comes out.
I imagine that if they keep that plot-line, then the current relationship dynamic they have is to build on that reveal and make it better, sorta like what they did with Kirito and Asuna before.
This was nothing short of brilliant... the satire at the beginning... the vulnerability of a non-SAO Kirito... the complete change in character traits of Suguha... and you somehow made the villain more menacing and despicable than in the original... oh dear god, you guys are geniuses!!!
The fact that kiritos family seemingly didn't give two shits about him being held hostage and basically being a vegetable for 2 years still absolutely blows my mind.
I'm really not sure where you're getting that notion. They put him in the hospital for round the clock care, to be cleaned and arms and legs still exercised by nurses and to be hooked up to IV's for nutrition and fluids while he was vegetative. What more were they supposed to do? They also didn't know he was imprisoned, they just knew the people couldn't be removed from the headsets without dying and the company had no answer or cure, so they admitted him to the hospital. Have you ever cared for someone in a coma? That's not something easy to do. A trained peofessional handling it was rhe right thing. And you don't know that they didn't visit often. Just because it didn't recieve screentime doesn't mean they never cared. Also they're his aunt and uncle, his own parents passed away and he lives with his cousin (Suguha) and her parents.
When Kirito walked into Asuna's hospital room, I said to myself, "how could they possibly satirise this scene?" Then they made a joke comparing euthanasia to forced marriage Was not disappointed
KaiserNeko's range kills me every time. Want him to be the time-traveling Trunks? Done! Want him to be the creepy-ass villain Sugou? Done! Want him to be the one of the Valentine brothers? Done! Want him to be a French mercenary? DONE AND DONE. This has been a KaiserNeko appreciation post.
I wonder if they'll fix the problem the original series had with Asuna in this part? *Asuna spits in Sugou's face* Ha ha. Yeah they did. Asuna do what Asuna does.
Not a big fan of Sugu, though. Like, I'm okay with her picking on Kirito, but I don't think siblings should ever be THAT cruel. That's just not right. It doesn't even give me the same comedic effect either.
Three. An older brother, older sister, and younger sister. We have arguments, and I sometimes get into fights with my brother, but never once have we ever belittled each other to the extent that I just saw here. This was just downright cruel.
“How would you describe Nobuyuki Sugou?” “Well let me put it this way: Take the most horrific, awful thing you can think of... and multiply it by cancer!”
I was so annoyed when I saw Asuna sitting as a quiet, dainty little damsel in that cage... and then she spat in his face. Now THAT'S the Asuna we all know and love.
that one moment kind of fixes a large issue with that arc. Asuna in SAO was a badass warrior, then they reduce her to a damsel in distress. Was nice to see she still had some fight in her.

YOU CAN TRY TO RUN, BUT YOU CANNOT RUN FROM THE ONE, THE ONLY, KING OF ASHES!” #SplayDemOrgans #YouCannotEscape #Hastag
It gets even better Remember how Kirito used to comment on Asuna's best food that "this tasted like ash in my mouth", and that he replies to him with "Have it your way"? It's a joke about how Burger King food tastes like shit This series is gold
Funniest thing is, when Kirito did it in a game, people called him a psycho, when Sugaha is like that in real life, its just better than the incest plot 😂
Glad to see Asuna hasn’t changed at all, and that Suguha is completely different. Never thought I would be looking forward to an episode of the fucking Fairy Dance arc, but here we are.
Fuck The Last Jedi, THIS is the Christmas gift I wanted... ...ah hell, I know I'm gonna go see it too. Edit: Boy, looking back, this was a comment that did not age well.

Sponsor Man Say that while some mexican midget has a nationwide ad wave that compels you to ingest ludacris amounts of Mexican snacks till you're a Deviant Art wet dream.
Shit dude... Y'all did Kirito right. We actually get to see the insecure and not-so-tough side to him he has in the real world instead of his online persona. In the physical world he's just a teenager, and we're seeing how everything is kinda shitty for him, setting up his return to the virtual world quite well. Additionally, when he finally overcomes Briefcase in the real world at the end, it means so much more that he was able to be strong even outside a game. Well done y'all. Also Suguha is waaay better than the original.
Hope suguha does fall in love with "Kirito" not realizing she and Kazuto are the same people and Kazuto lords it over for the rest of ever. Give her a taste of her own medicine
@Anwar Samia I feel like, Leafa and Kirito are gonna do it.They then will both realise they are cousins and end up like Kirito when he had to listen silica's life. Slamming their heads against a table screaming "no, no No, NO" . Shit would be so damn funny.
“Hey Suguha, you remember when you said I wouldn’t make much use of it?” “Ohhhhh no...” “Yeah you remember that?” “Nonononono...” “Hehe, you know you liked it...” “NO NO NO NO” “It was hilarious when you said daddy...” “FUUUUUUUUUUUU-“ *intro plays*
Wait, I think I just realized something. Kirito to someone who only wanted to possess their wife: “you killed your wife because she wouldn’t get in the kitchen and make you a sandwich?!” Sugo, who wants to possess his future wife: says asuna wants a sandwich press and imitates her saying she wants to make him sandwiches Was this intentional? Or is it a coincidence?
After Episode 11 came out, I thought to myself, "there's no way they can top this. It's fucking golden." Then I saw Episode 12. It was amazing. I mean, it still didn't beat Episode 11. Literally nothing even comes close to that 35 minutes of abject lols. But it's still great.

I may be late for work, but how could I NOT click on this as soon as I saw it?!

And here I assumed you would just skip this arc altogether :D
well, if they wanted to make his sister a bitch, which wouldn't be weird, considering how Kirito turned out. but remember that her little brother was in a fucking coma for two years. two years where he grew up, had character development. two years abroad so to speak. two years is a long time.
Max needs serious help well unless they've changed anything in the Abridged version, Suguha still thinks they're siblings and yes Kirito is the older one

They turned Suguha into a bitch...and it's magnificent.
Robert Hallford way better than the bland ass character in the normal show
I wonder if she is still going to be into him later on. I can't decide if Kirito is going to be too weirded out to say anything or if he is going to lord it all over her like the bastard he is once the truth comes out.
I imagine that if they keep that plot-line, then the current relationship dynamic they have is to build on that reveal and make it better, sorta like what they did with Kirito and Asuna before.
Alucard: She is sassy as fuck holy shit like her.

This was nothing short of brilliant... the satire at the beginning... the vulnerability of a non-SAO Kirito... the complete change in character traits of Suguha... and you somehow made the villain more menacing and despicable than in the original... oh dear god, you guys are geniuses!!!
The fact that kiritos family seemingly didn't give two shits about him being held hostage and basically being a vegetable for 2 years still absolutely blows my mind.

I'm really not sure where you're getting that notion. They put him in the hospital for round the clock care, to be cleaned and arms and legs still exercised by nurses and to be hooked up to IV's for nutrition and fluids while he was vegetative. What more were they supposed to do? They also didn't know he was imprisoned, they just knew the people couldn't be removed from the headsets without dying and the company had no answer or cure, so they admitted him to the hospital. Have you ever cared for someone in a coma? That's not something easy to do. A trained peofessional handling it was rhe right thing. And you don't know that they didn't visit often. Just because it didn't recieve screentime doesn't mean they never cared. Also they're his aunt and uncle, his own parents passed away and he lives with his cousin (Suguha) and her parents.

Ha ha. Yeah they did. Asuna do what Asuna does.
Now I wonder how leafa will be played. We see regular sugu already so I have high hopes.
You have great taste in videos my man. Witty comments in my favorite YT Videos
Not a big fan of Sugu, though. Like, I'm okay with her picking on Kirito, but I don't think siblings should ever be THAT cruel. That's just not right. It doesn't even give me the same comedic effect either.
Axis do you have siblings m8?
That's how me and my brother are all the time
Three. An older brother, older sister, and younger sister. We have arguments, and I sometimes get into fights with my brother, but never once have we ever belittled each other to the extent that I just saw here. This was just downright cruel.
I love how they made Suguha a savage instead of over exaggerated incest

Something tells me I don’t want to know what this is
Oh yeah I forgot that all the survivors would have extreme PTSD
I was so annoyed when I saw Asuna sitting as a quiet, dainty little damsel in that cage... and then she spat in his face. Now THAT'S the Asuna we all know and love.
The moment she spat at Sugou's face....that made my day XD
OH MY FUCKING GOD ITS BACK
Was she even a good character?
@Shakiel In the abridged series? Yes. In canon? ... well she wasn't the worst.
that one moment kind of fixes a large issue with that arc. Asuna in SAO was a badass warrior, then they reduce her to a damsel in distress. Was nice to see she still had some fight in her.
Congratulations! You've made Suguo even more disgusting than he was before! That is a herculean accomplishment!
Seriously, when Suguo leaned in *way* too close to Kirito and said "Satisfaction" (8:38 btw), it coulda led to some... unfortunate occurrences.
That IS an accomplishment. The only good part of ALO is watching him be cut off at the hips and them impaled through the face
It also makes sense now why her father happened to make marriage arrangements for her daughter while she was in a fucking coma.
What?! how.
Cos her father is an asshole that just cares about money instead of someone we are supposed to think actually cares about Asuna.
“She smells like innocence.”
Well, if the last 11 episodes are any indication, your olfactory nerves are fucked.
well he Is a asshole , so he acustomed to the smell

Suguha is really just a real-life Kirito. What Kazuto wishes he was, but he doesn't have any real strength.
Funniest thing is, when Kirito did it in a game, people called him a psycho, when Sugaha is like that in real life, its just better than the incest plot 😂
Glad to see Asuna hasn’t changed at all, and that Suguha is completely different. Never thought I would be looking forward to an episode of the fucking Fairy Dance arc, but here we are.

Shit dude... Y'all did Kirito right. We actually get to see the insecure and not-so-tough side to him he has in the real world instead of his online persona. In the physical world he's just a teenager, and we're seeing how everything is kinda shitty for him, setting up his return to the virtual world quite well. Additionally, when he finally overcomes Briefcase in the real world at the end, it means so much more that he was able to be strong even outside a game. Well done y'all. Also Suguha is waaay better than the original.
How the fuck did they manage to make Briefcase EVEN MORE DISTURBING
It is why SAO Abridged is so much better than the original. They put in all the legwork for the big emotional payoff to be effective.

Was this intentional? Or is it a coincidence?
This was on purpose. SAOA's writers are brilliant.
These people don't do coincidences.
After Episode 11 came out, I thought to myself, "there's no way they can top this. It's fucking golden." Then I saw Episode 12. It was amazing. I mean, it still didn't beat Episode 11. Literally nothing even comes close to that 35 minutes of abject lols. But it's still great.
