The 6th episode of Sword Art Online II has released and we have some screenshots of the episode. The next episode will be airing on Saturday the 16th of August at 11:30 JST.
After winning his first battle a strange player approaches him and tells him “Are you the real one?” Kirito remembers that that he is from Laughing Coffin, a killing guild from Sword Art Online. As the man spoke, Kirito thinks his voice sounds the same as to Death Gun. He tells him that he was killing some time and promptly disappears. Kirito is traumatized after remembering the horrors of killing another person in SAO. Meanwhile in the tournament stages, Shinon and Kirito have cleared the qualifying stages and made it to the final stages of Group F.
Here is a synopsis of the anime:
1 year after the SAO incident, Kirito is approached by Seijiro Kikuoka from Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Department “VR Division” with a rather peculiar request.
That was an investigation on the “Death Gun” incident that occurred in the gun and steel filled VRMMO called Gun Gale Online (GGO). “Players who are shot by a mysterious avatar with a jet black gun lose their lives even in the real world…” Failing to turn down Kikuoka’s bizarre request, Kirito logs in to GGO even though he is not completely convinced that the virtual world could physically affect the real world.
Kirito wanders in an unfamiliar world in order to gain any clues about the “Death Gun.” Then, a female sniper named Sinon who owns a gigantic “Hecate II” rifle extends Kirito a helping hand. With Sinon’s help, Kirito decides to enter the “Bullet of Bullets,” a large tournament to choose the most powerful gunner within the realm of GGO, in hopes to become the target of the “Death Gun” and make direct contact with the mysterious avatar.
