So when Kirito is counting to 30 he gets cut off by the intro at 3, then intro takes 25 seconds. Then when it cuts back to Kirito he's at 28
Now that's god damn attention to detail right there
jake Boorsma actually in total it gets to 25 seconds. So they’re 3 seconds short. So very close though
oh my god. the level of attention to detail that was put into this.
10 thousand Babies no the intro starts at 1:30 when he’s at 3 then when it cuts back at 1:58 when he’s at 28. It’s accurate
Drew Films but the counting starts before the intro
Soggy Ramen the intro starts when he says 3, then it takes 25 secs, when it ends he’s at 28. That’s what we’re saying
It doesn't matter whether you liked SAO, you hated SAO, or you've never seen SAO.
We can all agree,
_this is better._
I agree
Yup, I actually liked the og SAO, but this is just a masterpiece
I dunno about better. But it does sound much more reasonable on this scenario.
Yeah you’re right
I agree with this wholeheartedly. This surpasses SAO. The difference in character developement is unbelievable. SAO really is a disappointment compared to this.
It took me too long to realize he stops her the MOMENT before she says "fault" because he gets serious PTSD from that word
Which is both hilarious and extremely sad
its really strange seeing kirito's trauma get explored this much since main sao doesn't go into depth likw this.
@@fuck_youtube_handlesExcept in the manga where he tries to end his life after failing to bring her back.
@@magistersolis.3750 i shouldve read the manga dawg
Shows how is character was affected from a very traumatic event.
If only the real show actually expanded on that.
I just realized
Kirito starts counting to 30 seconds on 1:26
He counts to 3 on 1:29
Then goes the opening, which is 25 secs long
After the opening, Kirito's count is on 28 seconds
The amount of attention to detail is insane
Would have been hilarious if you could hear him counting during the intro or through the captions.
Yes but unfortunately they completely missed the opportunity for "PERFECT!" right at the end of Liz's crafting
really proving your worth here conceptualization. here have a skill point. i’ll even put on the saramirizian lounge jacket
@@Onikage55 i d say the craft ending with "Metallurgy" is perfect
Come on somebody else like this comment so we can get Satan too notice us
Asuna: “Meet someone. Anyone.”
Liz: Meets Kirito.
Asuna: So you have chosen death.
Poor Liz she was so pure
Asuna's a hypocrite
You said meet anyone tho!
“What is it with you women and crying under bridges, you’re like trolls” had me wheezing :U.
To be fair, In one episode, asuna said it was kirito's fault 12 people died and kirito said it was no-ones fault
WHY IS NOBODY MENTIONING HOW FUCKING AWESOME THAT CUSTOM ANIMATION WAS WHILE THE SWORD WAS BEING FORGED
What custom animation? I mean, I guess the added smithing-minigame UI is kind of cool...
Jake tongue GRASP THE TRUTH. HOLD IT HIGH. RAISE YOUR FISTS THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE MADE TO START WITH.
Emotionally Conflicted Gurran Lagan makes everything better.
That's gurran Lagan
This just made me consider going Blacksmith or perhaps Whitesmith on RPG's.
I just realized... The "yahahooey" sound was programmed to play when Kirito falls.. so in this world, there is a non-zero chance that as players were killing themselves at the start, the entire floor was constantly playing "yahahooey"
Fun fact that lots of people these days wouldn't know. That was the old Disney sound clip for whenever Goofy fell a long distance in old cartoons. It was the same every time.
@@dawnfire82 I know, and that's what makes it funnier
@@sunshineleith5556*even goofier.
I'll see myself right out
@@dootslayer1411no no no, you can come back. That was funny.
@@dootslayer1411plz stay i want to hear more
It's interesting how we start with Liz being the weird psycho that freaks out Asuna and then at the end it's reversed.
Yes the irony is not lost on me.
A Yandere and a Hikikomori.
if you have ever seen dragon ball z abridged, liz is bulma as the voice actor.
i love how asuna tells her to play along but kirito's like: "bitch, stop it. im not an idiot"
Yandere Asuna is 'bout to make me act up in a bricked up manner
"Do it Sachi!"
Amazing how changing three words in the script makes the parody surpass the original in storytelling.
James D i read that as he said it. Wow.
NO
@@guy.animations2935 You seem to NOT know how trauma works. Especially when the traumatic experience involves teenagers. Sorry but the original never even cared about Sachi visibly after like 2 episodes. No permanent emotional scars, no nothing. I am rewatching this thing for the third time now and I enjoy the characters much more. I did kind of love the perfect love of the original but let's be honest. Perfect gets booring and these people are gamers trapped in a death game who have experienced hell. They can't be perfect after what they've been through and that is why this "parody" is a better show than the original.
@@teddykazandjiev I can't entirely disagree but I do think people judge the original too harshly. Seriously, it's like the face of bad anime and it's *far* from the worst I've ever seen. I've watched multiple seasons of SAO (which I do think arguably gets worse with each subsequent season) while there are some anime I've dropped after a single episode (and, as far as anime goes, I'll even settle for the low-hanging fruit, garden-variety "pervy humor and nothing else of note" stuff as long as it elicits the occasional juvenile snicker).
Like, this is good, but it's still a *parody* with the benefit of *hindsight* . Not saying SAO is particularly well-written (it notoriously isn't) but there's something innately silly about making this asertation about how this series handles trauma so much better than the original...as the protagonist makes similar sarcastic and asinine jokes at everyone's expense at every available opportunity and said trauma is sparsely acknowledged and, at times, played for comedic effect. Don't get me wrong, this is a parody and should do that sort of thing, but that's the thing. This is a parody and, thus, is primarily meant to be funny. The original wasn't. And a *big* part of why Kirito's character works here the way he does is because of the comedic approach. They couldn't have done this in the original.
I like SAO (those first 12 episodes anyway) for what it is, even acknowledging the flaws. While this is entertaining and arguably as good (if not better) it doesn't quite scratch the same itch given it's parody nature.
Frankly, I'd like SAO to be placed in the hands of a competent writer, rebooted, and have the entirety of the series take place in SAO with the ultimate goal of the series being to beat the game and escape. Even if that's not how it went in the light novels, I have no idea why you wouldn't go that route in animation. I know that a lot of anime fans are adamantly against straying from the source material but with a property like SAO? With the story potential that *could* be mined from that first arc? Why the hell wouldn't you? You could milk that for all it's worth.
@@__________1175 Nah, this parody is far more well-written and with more developed characters then the original.
Most characters is the first season are pointless and without personality besides falling in love with Kirito or being a suport characters, while this parody make the side characters personalitys and actions have consequences in the story.
But wait how can lizbeth make Kirito the strongest weapon in the game when he already has the mithril pebble of pig smiting
Don Fluffles took it before he disapeared
@@brendan64102 and now it is said to be handed down from player to player in the guild of Pig Slayers
@@thetealemerald One day, a new member shall join the guild: Mardoza II, son of Mardoza, Guardian of the Pebble, and he shall take up his father’s legacy once more.
Actually the true meaning is that he asked for the best sword not the best weapon the mythril pebble is still stronger than the piece of shit but it's not a sword. In conclusion she made him the best sword but he still has the best weapon.
@@brendan64102 no Dick did
I love how Kirito will gladly come up with some story about a magical legendary rock and force someone to listen, but the moment he has to listen, he shuts down
Yeah, he does seem like the kind who likes to here himself talk.
He did memorize what kind of crayons Silica used to eat though..
I don't think he shut down here because Lizbeth was talking.
He shut down because what Lizbeth was talking about was far too familiar.
@@WarmLusamine its his gift to the world
It's not about not wanting to listen. It's just his PTSD. Oh my goodness, an abridged character is better written than the original character...
Fun Fact, the reason Liz has pink hair is because just after she obtained her shop, Asuna suggested that she dye her hair and wear the maid outfit to attract more customers.

Oh dear lord...
An escort fetch quest is every gamers nightmare
@@panpan1287 agreeded
What is a fetch quest?
@@ignaciolancieri2208 it's a quest where you have to go get something for someone, usually they're very repetitive and boring
Most of them go like this
Some guy lost his prize possession and he enlists you to dive into a genaric dungeon to kill some genaric enemies and get it back
The item is worth 200 gold and you have to give it back to him for 100 gold
There are about 100 of these in every RPG
"Why aren't you cold?"
"Oh, I equipped this new mountaineering item called PAAANTS."
I fucking love this quote
FanNotANerd And it’s not even the worse, so many girls in fantasy manga and anime die each year because their world didn’t master the art of making complete pant armor for girls.
And let’s not even talk about those that didn’t understand armor is best when it’s in front of the chest, rather than literally everywhere around it, truly it’s a tragedy, how could we help them :’(
That is probably a literal quote from a Germanic guide for the first roman expeditions into the north (The romans wore togas and tunics and called pants "barbaric" when they first encountered the Germanic peoples.... they later started wearing them when winter hit
@@moffattwins8310 imma steal it.
‘God I hate escort missions’
13:27 I love how Azuna and Kirito have way more compatibility in this one, than the original. They’re both crazy psychopaths
Correction asuna is a psychopath and Kirito is a sociopath with major insecurities and extremely severe PTSD lol
@@chrisd5564 I stand corrected, but while we’re on the subject, narcissist should be added in there somewhere.

"DO IT SACHI"
I was totally not expecting that... AT ALL. That caught me totally off-guard, I was shocked and confused for a second, just to realize the next second how amazing this show is, I'm really happy that I finally got to watch this, and thank you so much for bringing this to existence
Yeah, it definitely was a “holy shit” moment. The writing for this series is amazing.
Moments like this are why I prefer this to the actual show
When I saw this in the original, I was confused on why he didn’t say “do it sachi.”
Thank god this repaired that.
Ptsd is a bitch.
Can someone pls explain, i got my own understanding but i wanna know the actual thing lol
I'd become a blacksmith in SAO just for that sick ass mini game and music.

"Would you do that to someone else's baby?"
"You mean would I slam a baby into another baby to test it's durability? Nooo that's not something I would typically do."
Brilliant.

"Trying to impress some master swordsman, eh? Get him to plant his enchanted sword in your cave of wonders? Do battle with the fearsome dragon within?"
"What would be the dragon in that metaphor?"
"Chlamydia."
Is it because of the burning? God dammit, SAO Abridged, who gave you the right to be so clever?
I also can't stop thinking it's a sick burn on Deen's Fate Stay Night anime; another bad anime with intercourse & dragon in the same scene.
Definitely the burning. And does this mean Kirito and Asuna have STDs now? Who programs that in a video game?! *stupid question considering the guy also programmed it to murder you

I love the "no no no no" from Kirito while liz is telling him about her last guild. Really good at giving him character development.
*PTSD noises intensify*
Same. I thought it was just him being an asshole and not wanting to listen to people’s problems but plot twist: he didn’t want to feel things

Watson Young I heard it wrong, sorry
Watson Young There changed it.
extra emphasis on the typically
Probably the best line in the entire series.
"I called it the piece of shit."
And then in episode 11 he tells tiffany to tell liz he didnt actually call it the piece of shit. *character development*

Edit: holy crap the likes on this one… god damn
Your right he does care…. About gettting a good sword.
I guess. He is pretty apathetic. Obviously he’d need a master blacksmith for the best sword in the game. But he nagged Liz as if he was her dad… sorta.
Hes already got the PTSD from Sachi, he doesnt want any more
@@kharnthebetrayer8251 actually I’m not entirely sure he’d care if some strangers or enimies died. He built what I think is a bond with Sachi. If it were someone else who he didn’t care much about, like rosalia, he’d probably throw her into the dragon’s mouth
@@weebandgaminginc.7593 kirito progression from sociopathic dick to the friend who is a dick is amazing
5:38 I just appreciate how this parody really makes ptsd apart of this series, it adds a realistic heartwarming element
PTSD Is heartwarming?
No, it’s called readers and viewers like it when characters have the spicy trauma. It makes the characters feel more realistic or relatable in some ways. However it should be noted that too much trauma or tragic backstory will eventually feel forced, or the writer is just using the character as a punching bag. It’s a balancing act, and difficult to do in a convincing manner.
@@aresthecrazy9335 I see
As heartwarming as trauma gets.
Not gonna lie, could've been phrased a little better lol.
It was a good touch though. Makes the characters, actually feel like characters.
@@nonexist7386 PTSD causes spikes of adrenaline and increased heart rate since it's part of a traumatic fight or flight event being relived. So technically yes, PTSD *is* heartwarming.
"DO IT SACHI"
It was at this exact moment that SAO Abridged surpassed SAO Proper in not only humor, but outright quality and storytelling
My heart legit stopped for a few seconds when that line was spoken
Legit. SAO will always hold a special place in my heart for a couple different reasons (one of them being that SAO was the first anime i ever watched) but i can still understand it’s not exactly... high-quality. But yeah, i agree, one of the shows *many* problems was that, Kirito completely forgot Sachi existed 2 episodes after she died and then started chasing Asunas tail (or, perhaps more accurately, she started chasing his) as if nothing ever happened. Seeing that in the abridged version, Kirito actually grieves for Sachi for longer then a single episode is really cool since, the only other time i’ve seen an abridged version of an anime improve the story is the goblin slayer abridged, which you should totally check out if you haven’t already.
@@ArkeusWolf I'll give it a look, I've been needing something to hold me over until the next episode of SAO abridged
Especially after what happened to DBZ abridged
@@ArkeusWolf was my first anime as well i really loved that abridged scene as it doesnt make him look like a robot without emotions
Lupus Moon moon wait didn’t kirito cry in asuna’s lap about it like right before he got kayuba
I thought it was in episode one with the legend of the pebble.
"DO IT, SACHI!"
This series making me feel more for Kirito than the actual show.
Timothy Pyle he has more dimension
@@WriterPlaysMTG The animation has more dimensions than Show Kirito
Characters having importance for more than the episode they were introduced in, we can't have that!
I will be back at the first girl he ever liked gets killed MMA end up making females all for him and then he just ends up not giving a f*** at all until the end where she loves Asana
I’m just posting this everywhere, but given how much it affected him, and that Coffin got yeeted already, I really hope that the climax of the GGO arc involves him finally dancing with The Don
The fact that he wouldn't typically (not would never) slam a baby into another baby is the personification of abridged Kirito.
I just now noticed the Assasins creed reference when Liz asks kirito how did she find her and he shows a bell tower and you hear an Eagle, he basicaly synchronized to find her 💀
Same for me
Thank you, I was lost.
The subtitles say "Assassins creed eagle screech"
@@thecomentingcat6280 Neat. Didn't have them on.
So who is SAO developed by? Bethesda or Ubisoft?
I like how I was too broke to buy Crunchyroll or anything so I assumed this was just pirated SAO so I watched this under the impression that this was the actual series.
You dodged a bullet on that one
i mean SAO is not that bad in my opinion
@@ThuyNguyen-sj3xs Agreed

"From now on, whenever someone makes a dragon poop sword, you know what they're gonna think? Lizbeth"
That was more romantic and charming than anything the original Kirito has ever said.
That actually is a great way to give her credit to others, for the best sword in the game, and show apreciation for her work. ...somehow.
Yeah. I still cant believe karahawa forced the story to make us believe Asuna loves kirito "for some reason". Because in the original kirito never once says that he loves asuna. They kinda just... get together even tho we never see him actually talk about this relationship stuff. Asuna does that in his place.
Actually, I dont think kirito ever really talked about something personal in the show at all.
@@wandanemer2630 You know what is funny? A few episodes latter, when Kirito has his duel after revealing that the commander is actually Kaiba akihiko, he tells Klien(ballzs) to let Lizbet know he didn't actually name the sword a piece of shit.
I loved that whole episode.
@@Matthew-li7we That episode is so good!! 😍😍
Wanda Nemer I think the elucidator was actually stronger than the dark repulsor, by just a little bit. I think that’s why at the end it broke and elucidator didn’t
Gotta love the full circle that is Kirito first threatening to burn down her shop and Asuna ending up doing it. They really are the best couple.
Two sociopaths playing a game of chicken that forms a family with a genius daughter that is also a sociopath, what a perfect family.

It's rare that an abridged series has character development as great as this. Bravo
It's because the abridged series needs to fill the void the original created
So far every abridge I watched had good character development and it makes sense since they build off of an alright to good character
+IceVeins kirito is as bland as they come
+Cooper McGill Seriously thats how you feel? I thought the main problem was that he started off so strong instead of working his way up to being that strong so you saying this Kirito has more emotion cause hes always being sarcastic?

Kirito: You have 30 seconds before I burn this place down... 1, 2, 3...
[Intro (25 seconds later)]
Kirito: 28, 29...
I was annoyed he didn't say 30
Actually, I put it next to a google stopwatch (because I was curious to see how close it actually was) and it was roughly 26.90 seconds from the time he started saying three until he said twenty-eight. I have no clue why I bothered with this besides my curiosity.

This Kirito is so toxic, I love it
I really love this episode. Not only does it have the amazing line "Do It Sachi!" But his trauma is actually really apparent throughout this episode.
A.) he tells Liz to take a tp crystal and hid away. I'm assuming here that it's because he already sees the similarities between Liz and Sachi, but once she doesn't listen then he slips up on the name thing.
2.) when he's actually fighting the dragon and she gets targeted It makes sense that, viewing her unconsciously as connected with Sachi, he does everything he can to keep her from dying there, hence the jumping after her.
C.) when he mentions "dying cold alone in a pit" and she corrects it, I think he Genuinely would rather die alone then possibly watch her die. (idk if this one was intentional because it's also a really funny line of "oh no that's worse!" But I like to think it's both)
4.) when she does start going off about her backstory he is Begging her to stop because he also watched his guild die. He Hate the reminder and the possibility that Someone could relate to That. To the point he's literally in tears because she was still explaining. In detail.
E.) (or 4.5 I guess) is that Right before she was going to say it was "all her fault" He literally Grabs her hand to keep her from saying the Thing that really sets off his PTSD.
(Also side thing that relates to him connecting Liz and Sachi is the "what's with you women and crying under bridges" line. Like I cannot believe how much thought and little details are in this thing.)
Also one of my favorite lines in this episode is the "Relax, your wearing virtual gloves, over your virtual hands, to hold something that came out of a virtual, not to mention, Mythical creature." Amazing
dude
I might've over analyzed it a tiny bit... its my favorite episode tho
Also, dragon shit
This ABRIDGED SERIES has more plot, backstory, and fleshed out characters than 2 seasons of the actual anime.

i love how he treats liz like she’s just an NPC
Well probably because npc blacksmiths can auto craft decent weapons anyway without having seizures, which for context in a later episode they mentioned the crafting systems do that to players.
Out of context but why do you use chip flakes original character as a image?
I can get fare use images from random pictures or anime but isn't copying a youtubers image illegal
Because it counts as impersonation which is against copyright laws.
Sorry, just thought you'd want to know considering it can be a risk.
@Kuro i wanted too. I don’t think that’s really bad considering that was never an image he used as a profile picture, and I clearly wasn’t him just by looking at my name. But that’s not even a problem anymore so 🤷♂️
No no no, he stabs NPCs, just look at Gary dying on the floor of Asuna's guild.
His best friends are npcs tho
He probably didn't want to get too attached. Like... Ms. Lag.
That Lisbeth scene never gets old. I love how they demonstrate just how skilled she it as a smith, and how it looks so boring from the outside.

“Wait was that fucking Big Blast Sonic”
Yes. First rewatch after getting into Guilty Gear a year ago and I‘m floored
Kirito is such a thoughtful psychopath that he gives a full 30 seconds to receive service before he burns the building down. That's at least a reasonable window of time, rather than people giving the convoluted 3 seconds, barely enough time to do anything
I know people are praising this for giving Kirito actual personality as he mistakes Liz's name for Sachi, but me, I'm in awe of the visual effects in the blacksmith scene at 11:29
Can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass it was to edit that, the colour correction in darkening up Liz to match the set change and cutting the original background from the anime, looks cool.
And yes, the Sachi moment is good

THAT SCENE WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS WHY IS NO ONE ELSE TALKING ABOUT IT-
YamatoSFX talked about that part at a panel, saying how much work it was but he just wanted to keep one-upping it over and over again. It probably took more work than the rest of the episode as a whole.

"DO IT, SACHI!"
That was excellent! That should have been in the actual canon.
That would involve Reki writing protags that AREN'T just Marty Stu power-harem fantasies...
The problem is, these side story things with Lizbeth, Sachi, Yui (I think), and Silica were actually written after the main plot points of the story, since SAO was originally a short story. Sachi technically did exist, but Reki Kawahara probably didn't have all the details planned out and just had Asuna mention his “old guild” as an offhand comment when Kirito was forced to join KoB. Why he didn't change anything later when it was officially published... idk.
What do you mean? This IS the canon.
@@karawang3675 it wasn't an offhand comment bruv. He explained the exact reasons as to why he avoided people and guilds when talking about her.
That happened in the actual canon without Kirito saying anything. His actions speak for themselves.
8:16 I like how this implies that Kayaba has basically been following Kirito around for a while
So basically Kayaba had to pretend he was sleeping, leave his heathcliff avatar, basically going on spectator mode, just to watch Kirito
@@khoatic414 yep
"There's is a love that could never be......I'd see that movie" had me rolling 🤣
"Meet someone! ANYONE!"
Liz: lol okay **meets Kirito**

Thank for not doing the you have chosen death meme. I hate it so much
@@reptile1677 Lmao yea I saw the you have chosen death meme a bit too much as well
liz, thats not a person
"That's on me. Set the bar too low."
Liz: "hold on this whole operation was your idea"
“Do it, Sachi!”
This, this right here, is the kinda thing that makes your Kirito more empathetic than the original one. You do this character so much better in a PARODY than the real thing.
Winged Hussar wait seriously, real Kirito is less sympathetic than this?
@@benhemsworth8555 I forget real Kirito is a person sometimes
Original Kirito tended to be too... perfect.
I hope that Kirito’s voice actor in the actual show, Bryce Papenbrook watches this show. God, he’d love this.
@@benhemsworth8555 Kirito was too emotionally stable and too perfect. He was exciting as a piece of cold bread left out on the counter.
The abridged made him more entertaining and have more depth. That the reason why he's so dead inside and things like that is because of Sachi. And he doesn't want a repeat of Sachi.
Versus in the show, she was there for 2 episodes and never spoken about again.
Love how everyone has more personality and character in the abridged version and how kirito actually has trauma
Kirito slowly taking baby steps to being a genuine person with the capacity to feel empathy is one of my favorite things ever
Anyone:*starts backstory
Me and kirito: NO NO NO
I had to pause I was laughing so hard
Well actually the reason why he was freaking out was because liz was talking about how her whole guild got killed, which is the same thing that happened to him
@@astr4ll141 I noticed that just now, like 10 times watching the series, it’s sad now that I think about it, he wasn’t saying no for kicks and gigs, he was genuinely devastated by his guild getting killed so he wanted her to stop
I made your like 666 and i agree
Kirito and I*
Everyone's talking about "Do it Sachi" which is good because that's a great line but lets not forget the fact that Liz had a flashback ten seconds prior, the episode really shows how both of them are truly broken individuals that coped in different ways. Liz hid away in her shop, acting open and happy and clinging to the few friends she has left, and Kirito completely closed himself off to everyone, distancing himself from people he cared about so he couldn't be hurt by their deaths, but still having the urge to protect them.
I'm probably thinking too hard about this but the writing in this show is really good
Legitimately makes me ship Kirito and Liz, I'm hoping this team can do something good with Asuna's backstory to change that.
As a fan of the original SAO as well I feel gross not shipping Asuna. (Part of the reason I hate the stupid fucking spinoff video games)
My thing is this. Liz and Kirito would have been a better ship. I love his relationship with asuna now (As in later seasons) But for the main Incrad arc Liz would have been the better choice
That's taken straight from the OG. People don't give Reki credit for that.
Yeah, kirito is bullied by his sis. He is also arrogant so, I can see why he was so terrible to everyone in the beginning but Sachi's death made it worse.
Finding someone with repressed trauma I relate to: NO NO NO NO NO
Fun fact when liz said the temperature of the heart during her inner monologue, that was based on the same name as the official episode name of her SAO episode.
I was wondering if that was something from something else.
The “where the sound effects really necessary kaiba” comment is really underrated
"DO IT, SACHI!!!"
Jesus this line hits so hard everytime. Then the instant back track that comes after too because Kirito is virtually incapable of being vulnerable. Abridged Kirito is such a asshole and a borderline psychopath but is also oddly endearing and he has alot of depth, I really love him not being able to save Sachi being a driving force for his character rather than Sachi just being a forgotten throw away character with no real impact on Kirito or the story.
WE MUST SAVE MY FAMILY!
THE BANDITS ARE COMING
@@user-tz8mi7bn3i YOU LEFT US TO DIE!
That one line explains him _perfectly_ : He's a sociopathic asshole who does everything in his power to drive people away, because he's afraid of being hurt. He cares too much, so he shuts himself off from the world so nothing can ever hurt him. He's conditioned himself to be garbage to everyone, to drive them away so they can't get through his shell and give him time to bond with them.
All in all, he's just a miserable, broken child hiding behind the mask of a soulless monster, to protect himself from the only pain he can't heal faster than it's dealt. And yet, it's not enough: No matter how hard he tries, no matter how much he bitches, he can't _help_ but care about other people, and it terrifies him because he's afraid of the pain.
@@MrOmegatronic exactly
“Real life athletic ability translates into the game”
How the hell is Kirito not the fastest man on the planet?
Magic
It's base athletic power I think. I'm pretty sure you have to build on the skill from your real world ability
Simple game mechanics, in RPGs when you level up your base stats are for the most part enhanced along with the level.
Better question, why isn't his charisma in the negatives oh wait harem protag he has chick magnet, my bad answered my own question.

When you realise Kirito's 30 second countdown is actual 30 seconds in real-time
I love that they kept the "gnarliest sword" line from the original

"DO IT SACHI!"
Y'see, SAO? THIS IS HOW YOU GIVE A PLAYER TRAUMA!
5:55 “DO IT SACHI!” take notes sao, this is how you write a character with trauma
Avery Graham yeah
Avery Graham its one of the thing that makes SAO Abridged alot better than actual SAO
The Almighty INTP they kind of just forget about her all together, too.
it is kinda sad tho, while I don't want to defend SAO, if they did add a lot of truma scene to kirito, the fanbase would complain !
if they don't add, the fanbase still complain.
But i believe they should just follow the Novel, which did add a lot of reference to it but did not show it too much to make it like a extreme trauma for him. it still show how that event effected him. the anime just cut most parts tho.
Also on a side note, Sachi never exist in Volume 1, she and all other girls, except Asuna, are side story in volume 2.
and Volume 1 is all from start of game, kirito and asuna until game is finished ! the author never wanted to introduce other girls it was suppose to be a Kirito and Asuna only novel, but welp, guess u need more girl for more variation and popularity :|
so yeh, all the story until he is out of Aincrad happened before that trauma even exist :P and even mention of it in novel is all in side stories and later volumes.
Oh really? In the novel it was mainly just Kirito and Asuna? That's kinda nice considering the anime doesn't ever bring up the girls again after their story. but somehow they still stay relevent
11:29 By far the best thing in SAO… the blacksmith mini games!
That blacksmith mini game bit is brilliant, big epic music then cuts to kirito just standing in silence while shes hitting the hammer off the metal 😂
kirito: what race gives you pink hair and freckles anyway?
me: good question
Code Lyoko will never die
Anime
Hair isn't bound by your real appearance. They sell dyes and haircuts in-game
In her photo, she has normal brown hair is why I say that
Didn't they get their original looks restored though?
Kirito is not a sexist. He is not insulting her proffession, only her clothing, which is not fitting at all!
Kirito isn't sexist. He roasts and makes fun of all genders equally.
“I'm a supporter of true gender equality”
Honestly he and kazuma will get along really well if they're ever met
@@uthopia27 Konosuba was inspired off of abridged series
@@uthopia27 Except Kazuma is actually low-key an incel. The writer of Konosuba is a woman and included the "true gender equality" thing to illustrate the fact that Kazuma is a sexist douche just waiting for an excuse to hit women because of his sexual frustrations.
Abridged Kirito is a douche, but he actually seems to be surprisingly more progressive in social issues than one would expect, unlike Kazuma, who, while not explicitly sexist, does have notable misogynistic attitudes/habits.
I never really noticed Kirito's little snort at 8:39 until just now but wow, what a small little addition to the scene that just made it 10x better for me.

09:05
When Kirito knew he wouldn’t be able to suppress 😂
The expression of lizz making kiritos sword is such a perfect expression of artists making art.
So I did some math.
After Kirito ran up the wall, it took him 3 seconds to fall down to the ground. Using distance=(1/2)g*(t^2), he fell down approximately 44 meters.
To run up the wall until he slipped took about 3 seconds as well, making his average speed about 14.7 m/s.
This is about 53 km/hr or 32 mph. He is running faster than any human has before. This would make his running illegal in school zones, though he's not allowed in those already.
Edit: for those of you saying that gravity could be different (fair point BTW), here's some math I did in the comments earlier showing that if it's not equal, it's damn close.
Okay, so it's me again with useless math.
So, as shown in a clip at 4:18, Lisbeth is about forehead height to Kirito. Kirito's height is 172 cm according to official sources. With a little bit of scaling, this leads to Lisbeth being 163.4 cm. Later on, at 8:18, we see Kirito fall about half of Lisbeth's height (81.7 cm) in 1 frame, or about 0.03 seconds at 30 fps. This means he attained a velocity of 27.23 m/s in the 3 seconds that he was falling. This leads to an average acceleration of 9 m/s. When you account for the fact that it was a little less than 3 seconds he was falling + general error, it is no stretch to say that the gravity in SAO is about equivalent to real life gravity and my math holds.
Originally I was going to use the sandwich drop but unfortunately there is a cut as it drops, skipping a good portion of its fall.
God I need a life.
Bright side, AP Physics isn't gonna have anything on me this year.
Dragonslayer24c lol, great stuff at the end of that
Damn mega brain
This is big brain time

I feel like all of this math was just for that last line.

No pyscho waifu will ever beat Yuno Gasai. Albedo is a close second, though.
I would argue Himiko Toga, but she'd probably get beat
If you're talking about overlord then I'm disappointed that you like someone that is literally just a girl that's horny for skeleton dick. Yeah she's strong but that's her entire character, just "please fuck me ains"
I like that Kirito actually really cared about his guild and Sachi and that he even says the reason he's an asshole is so that the people he ends up loving won't die
7:52 AND THE GOOD NEWS JUST KEEPS COMING 😂😂
Rewatching this is a blast. This is totally a better use of the series🔥🔥✨
He didn't burn the shop to the ground.
But his wife did.
Future wife.
Well, she was warned!
But that gives the implication that Liz ended up actually sleeping with Kirito cause the sign said “you _were_ warned” and given that Asuna only gave the one warning......
Kirito is a lucky sonofabitch
Idk why it took me so long to realize this.But before he yelled DO IT SACHI.He told her to get a teleport crystal and to hide which is the reason that Sachi isn’t around anymore.Took me like 3 fucking years

The amnesia music as Asuna is talking to Liz is such a good touch
Kirito yelling at Liz like that demonstrates more character development than the entire kirito of regular SAO💀
Honestly this Kirito is great because he's still affected by the past, like Sachi, but the original just forgets everything... Sorta ironic that the parody series that's meant to be for laughs has better writing than the version that's supposed to be good
Animal Gamer So the whole trauma thing isn't in the original? Wow, this parody does have better writing then.
More like it was never touched upon again until the part when Kirito told Asuna about it, but even then he seemed to be rather cool about the whole thing already.
Then the boss room with the Goat demon also reminded Kirito about Sachi cause the idiots inside cannot teleport away.
Other than those 2 occasions, Kirito seemed to have completely gotten over it.
Hmm, that's too bad then. I think it was brilliantly done in this parody, how he begrudgingly tries to help the girl (in a humourous way), and it was touching when he yelled at the blacksmith girl and accidentally says "Sachi". Laughed at every episode and it ended greatly, can't wait to see season 2!
Animal Gamer actually, he didn't forgot, and as i remember i novel he was angry too, because of Lizz runing like an idiot here and there
Black March Cannel [AMV] I was referring to the anime, which is what the abridged series is based on story wise (with a LOT of tweaks)
*Liz's shop on fire*
"You were WARNED!"
It got me
Jhuan V. Sales did Asuna burn down the shop? If so and why?
she warned her not to go after kirito. they still had a moment after so asuna carried out her warning
I know that was so dark o.o I was like 'Woah, shiiiiitt'
Abliskarian SWE's Asuna is a yandere, which is why Asuna burned Lisbeth's shop to the ground after she (apparently) saw Kirito and Liz talking to each other when she had threaten Liz shortly before that. Asuna wanted Kirito to herself and basically saw Lisbeth as a threat.
I guess she’s been, fired
Why are the characters here so much more realistic? Like... Kirito having a kind of trauma after Sachis death is so amazing, why haven't they done it in the OG?
Cause that requires good writing skills. Also CZcamsrs can get away with this kind of edge, a TV series can't.
both the ptsd and the hints of kirito slowly opening up and again and becoming a better person (giving the coat, saving lisbeth and making sure she was safe) due to his relationship was asuna is better character development than the actual anime lol wtf
