So the show ended after all…a quick bit with Sugou for a final encounter (I got blindsided by Kayaba, so I didn’t realize Sugou actually had a presence in the real world), then a whole lot of epilogue. Finally we get to see all the characters from the first half returning…where have they been all this time (minus Agil)? I guess Silica and Liz have been in the school with Kirito…yeah, I get that Kirito wouldn’t want to drag them back into the game in the second half…
So does that mean the show is finished? I know the novel goes on, but will there be any plan to continue? If it were to continue, what would be the fighting ground? There are so many virtual worlds now, so maybe it would require spending time in every one of them. Like a global crisis sort of thing.
Also, Kirito’s comment about the dual avatars is interesting…like his old avatar will return when this happens. Maybe his new avatar gets corrupted in the first encounter and he has to revive his old one to fight…just wild speculation of course. Anyway, another show done…
