To be frank, the engagement for the battle was COMPLETELY stupid lol

I mean their side got Sinon who is a bloody sniper, and the opposition side doesn't have a sniper. Sniper is THE nemesis for mini-gunner, because they generally cannot move much when they fire their weapon...they are like sitting-ducks for snipers to pick off. Sure the minigunner could dodge her shot while he's not engagne in battle, that doesn't she won't be able to hit him when he's focusing on firing his minigun. Instead of providing cover fire from the safty of her high ground and reducing enemy numbers, she LEFT the position which is most likely outside the range of the opponents' weapon, she rushed down to join her team and engaged in close-quarter combat! Seriously WTF!? I guess the only possible explaination is that either the game doesn't have teamchat, or may be the teamchat has limited range.

Not complaining or anything, the whole battle engagement is just too ridiculous lol. The team was like "Oh nooooo! They got a minigunner we alllll gonna diiiiiiee!!" Hello!!!!???? So what they got a minigunner? Your team got a freaken sniper they don't!"

As for seeing Shino's real-life apperance lying on her bed (without glasses), one thing came to mind...Aruru! And coincidentally same seiyuu as well

For Sinon leaving her position, it will be explained later when they go into the specifics of GGO. When you fire a gun, a red line appears showing the trajectory of your bullet. So dodging a bullet which is fired from far away is described as easy, especially for someone experienced like Behemoth (minigun guy).
"If the player has high reaction, high AGI, and enough courage, he can evade more than 50% of the assault rifle continuously fired bullets from 50 meters." (GGO Vol 5)

Snipers have a specific rule, where only the first bullet they shoot doesn't show the line. That's how Behemoth easily evaded Sinon's second shot, given the distance and therefore more time for him to react and dodge. To avoid the red line from showing again, Sinon had to switch position. I agree however that she should have gone to another sniping position instead of going down to meet her teammates.

So with this episode we get to see Sinon in action for once here. Although you kind of see her sniping one of the unit members in the first episode, but this kind of explains as to why she was doing it now.

Although meanwhile on ALO Kirito most likely decided to talk to Asuna about him going on a mission to stop Death Gun in GGO here. Although I'm still wondering when we'll get to see Kirito play as a female character for once here.

You know when they finally showed the hot nurse toying with him, since she was that for his therapy back at the end of SAO, I was almost thinking that Kirito inadvertently added another to his harem while we weren't looking here.

Also with seeing the reason as to why Shino has a panic attack while looking at or even holding any kind of gun was to be more or less expected. Although seeing her mother freak out because she managed the kill the robber that was more or less going to kill her just because the guy was crazy enough to do it.

Okay now we finally see Kirito, or should I call him Kiriko, on GGO for once. To think his transfer over to GGO from ALO changed him into a girl here. I kind of wonder how that actually happened here. Although I can kind of hazard a guess as to who did this to him in the first place.

Just saw the episode...the scene of Kirito pretending to be a girl to Shino almost made me spitted out my coffee

Those gestures he was pulling...he was literally mimicking his wife lol

[Kid-Wolf]

Well now we finally get to see a major hint to Death Gun's identity in this very episode. To think that with the way Kirito fights along with his own name is kind of a dead giveaway to who he really is to anyone that once played either SAO or ALO for that matter.

Never the less for it to be a member of the guild Laughing Coffin is kind of a surprise here. Although this might explain as to why he is able to PK people to where they die in real life. I get the feeling that it might be due to the fact that since Death Gun was a member of an PK Guild in SAO they managed to keep their PK ability, or at least one of them managed to obtain that skill somehow.

It seems too easy for someone with a sniper to scope zoom on the registration kiosks and get another players address.

Using this information makes the simultaneous real-world killing theory more plausible.

I think the reason why Kiriko was acting like that is because he's been hanging around his waifu a whole lot as of late both on and off of ALO of course. I mean you can pick up on habits if you hang around someone for a long time.
