Ok this is my reaction to following just the anime.
1. Kirito takes enough attacks that half of his body is red/injured, but he only needed one strike to kill deathgun.
>Ok sure, I'll give SAO-II that. It's general shonen "oneshot" material. Happens a lot of times. The villain will get defeated because all the hero needed to do was use the special attack. In video games we'd call that "hacks" but ok.
2. They end the tournament with a tie.
> Pretty sure a FFA event would have the rule "no teams" in it. Otherwise clans/guilds would ruin it.
> Sure w/e, i'll still give SAO-II that.
3. Shinkawa was death gun helping/is death gun all along!
> No big surprise. He wasn't present for 99% of the show and the only other cast member who had any relevance. Honestly if they wanted to go for "shock value" they should have picked Asuna or Klein. Shinkawa is a pretty lame choice.
4. Shinkawa tries to...rape(?)/kill(?)/be friends with(?) Sinon.
> I don't fuckin know. At this point he's going on about another reality, being reborn. ...this shit makes no sense. Why does every villain in SAO need some sort of weird "psycho mode".
>He goes off on how GGO meant "so much to him" but i'm not seeing that. I mean it's a fucking video game, calm the fuck down.
5. Sinon has schizophrenia.
> This explains a lot.
6. Sinon tries to run away.
>Wait, if the doors are locked how did Shinkawa get in without setting them off. Did Sinon not lock them? Who the hell plays a VR and doesn't lock their house?
7. Kirito comes to save the day.
What. Just.....just fucking what.
How did kirito even know where Sinon lived?
How did he make it over there so fast?
Why the fuck did he not call the cops?
Wait, why the fuck weren't the cops at both of their houses.
Wait.....was deathgun's plan to just break into their houses and kill the people and say "the video game did it"?
----------------------------
The way deathgun is shown to kill people in the anime (muscle relaxer) would definitely leave a mark. The cops would be all over this shit because that leaves a hell of a trace and it's a very controlled substance.
Seriously, fuck the author of SAO for being so stupid.
