Sword Art Online (2012) s01e09 Episode Script
The Blue-Eyed Demon
1 Ready? I'm going to open it.
There's nothing in here Wait.
It's okay.
I won't go in too far.
And we need to at least see the boss, or we won't know how to beat it.
Yeah, but The Blue-Eyed Demon That one's gonna be tough.
Yeah The only weapon I saw was that big sword, but I'm sure it has special attacks.
We'll have to put tanks in the front row and keep switching.
Around ten shield users, I'd say.
Shield users, huh? Wh-What? You're hiding something, aren't you? What are you talking about? It makes no sense.
The biggest advantage of a one-handed sword is that you can use a shield.
But I've never seen you with one.
I don't use them because they slow my rapier.
And others don't because they dislike how they look.
You aren't using the sword you commissioned from Liz, either.
It's suspicious Well, it doesn't matter! It's impolite to ask about people's skills.
Anyway, it's later than I'd hoped, but let's eat.
What? D-Did you make it yourself? Yes.
Remove your gloves before you eat.
R-Right.
Here you go! This is good! But how did you get this taste? A year of training and study.
Aincrad has around one hundred seasonings.
To make it, I calculated all the parameters the flavor-recreation engine uses.
This uses grogua seed, shugra leaf, and calim water.
It's mayonnaise This uses abilba seed, sag leaves, and ulafish bone.
I-I know this taste It's soy sauce! I made the sauce for the sandwich with these.
Wow.
It's perfect! If you sold these, you'd make a fortune.
W-Would I? N-No, you can't.
Wh-Why? I want to keep this all for myself.
You're so greedy If I ever feel like it, I'll make you another one.
Oh, Kirito! It's been a while! You're still alive, Klein.
You're always such a downer! Wait Aren't you always solo? Why do you have a girl with you? Um I'm sure you've met him during boss fights.
But I'll introduce you anyway.
This is Klein, of the guild FurinKazan.
And this is Asuna, of the Knights of the Blood Oath.
Say something You lagging? H-Hello, my name is K-Klein! I'm 24, single, and looking for a girlfrâ Leader! Th-That's Asuna-san! W-Well, they're not really bad The leader's face aside.
Hey! Got you back.
K-Klein! What are you doing here with a girl? What's going on, Kirito? Uh, well Hello, there.
I'll be partying with him for a while.
Nice to meet you.
Kirito! Why, you Wait! Kirito-kun! Is that the Army? That's the big guild that runs the first floor.
What are they doing up here? They took heavy damage clearing the 25th floor, so they've been focused on strengthening their guild rather than clearing levels.
They stopped showing up on the front lines.
At ease! I am Lieutenant Colonel Corvatz of the Aincrad Liberation Army.
Kirito.
I'm solo.
Have you cleared the area up ahead? Yes.
We have a map up to the boss room.
Then I'd like you to give us that map data.
For free? Do know how much of a pain in the ass mapping is? We share information and resources equally with civilian players! And we maintain order in battle to liberate all players from this game as quickly as possible! Thus, you have a duty to help us! Listen You little Stop it.
I planned on sharing the data with everyone when I returned to town.
I don't mind.
Come on That's being way too nice, Kirito.
I won't make money off map data.
Thank you for your cooperation.
If you plan to pick a fight with the boss, I'd recommend against it.
That is my decision to make.
I just looked in the room.
You won't get anywhere with only a few people! And your party's exhausted My men aren't so weak as to give in this easily! Stand up, men! Are they gonna be okay? I don't think they'd be foolish enough to rush the boss.
Still, let's at least go and keep an eye on them.
I don't know who's being nicer.
Um, well, Asuna-san You see He's a gloomy fool, unsociable, and he's addicted to combat.
But take care of Kirito for me! I will.
The only thing ahead is the boss room Maybe they used an item to go back? Asuna! Hey! Idiots.
Hey, are you okay?! What are you doing? Use your teleport crystals! We can't The c-crystals won't work! There hasn't been a boss room with a trap like this before.
The Liberation Army never retreats! Fight! Fight! You fools What's going on? They can't use teleportation crystals here.
If we go in, we might be able to get them out, but Can't we do anything? Charge! Don't! Hey Hang on! Impossible.
No No.
I can't No! Asuna! Guess I have no choice! You okay? Thanks.
At this rate Kirito-kun! Kirito! Do I absolutely have to use it? But Damn it, this isn't the time for uncertainty! Asuna, Klein I need you to hold him off for ten seconds! Got it! Okay, ready! Switch! Starburst Stream! Wh-What is that skill? Faster Even Faster! Is it over? Kirito-kun! Kirito-kun! Ow How long was I out? Just a few seconds.
Dummy! That was crazy.
Hold me too tightly, and I'll lose my last few HP.
Corvatz and two others died.
We haven't lost anyone to a boss fight since floor 67.
Corvatz was a dumbass, thinking he could take that thing.
There's no point if you die.
Anyway, what was that? Do I have to say? Of course! I've never seen that before.
An extra skill.
Dual-wielding.
Wh-What's the prerequisite? If I knew, I'd have shared it.
It isn't on the information broker's skill list.
So you're the only one who has it.
It's a unique skill? I can't believe you never told me you had a skill like that.
One-handed Sword Dual-wielding Thrown Sword I was looking at my skill window about six months ago, and I just found it there.
But if people knew I had a skill like this MMO gamers are the jealous type I'm too good a guy to care, but lots of people would be really envious.
Especially because Well, suffering builds character, young man.
You could help a little I'm going to trigger the warp gate.
You gonna come? No, I'll leave it to you.
I'm exhausted Got it.
Be careful on your way back.
And, well Kirito When you ran in to rescue those Army guys What? Well I was glad.
That's all.
See you around.
Hey, Asuna? I was so scared I didn't know what I'd do if you died.
What? You're the one who jumped in first.
I'm going to take a leave of absence from the guild.
A-And do what? I said I'd party up with you Did you already forget? All right.
October 19, 2024 Floor 50: Algade "A blue demon that annihilated a large Army squad.
" "And a fifty-hit combo from a dual-wielder who took it out himself.
" They're making a really big deal out of it.
None of that actually happened.
And because of that, so many swordsmen and information brokers come to my place, I can't stay there.
Isn't that your own fault? You said it was just our secret, and you let everyone in on it.
What are we going to do, Kirito-kun? We have a big problem! October 19, 2024 Floor 55 Grandzam Kirito-kun, outside of boss fights, I believe we've never met.
No.
We spoke shortly at a conference on the 67th floor, Guild Commander Heathcliff.
That was a difficult battle.
We almost lost members, as well.
Even a top guild never has sufficient members for the front lines.
And now, you are taking one of our most important players.
If she's that important, you should do a better job of picking her bodyguard.
I apologize for the trouble you had with Kuradeel.
But we simply cannot allow our second-in-command to leave.
Kirito-kun, if you want her, take her with your blade, your two blades.
If you can defeat me in combat, you may take Asuna-kun.
But if you lose, you will join the Knights of the Blood Oath.
Very well.
If you'd rather settle this with swords, that's fine with me.
Let's settle it with a duel.
