What is this?
This is a fandub of Season 1 of the anime series "Sword Art Online". Future seasons will be done after Season 1 and the CastingCalls will be put up when the characters are available.
Synopsis:
The year is 2022, and gamers have lined up on launch day for Sword Art Online, a hotly-anticipated MMORPG that lets players connect to an immersive virtual reality world with special helmets called Nerve Gear. Kirito is one such gamer who's eager to jump back into action, having spent a great deal of time as a beta tester, and quickly becomes friends with newbie warrior Klein. But soon, Sword Art Online's 10,000 players discover that not only are they unable to log out, the only way they can return to their physical bodies is by beating the 100-level tower's final boss - death in the game means death in the real world. Now, with no one else to turn to, Kirito and the other participants must survive the game as best they can.

PERSONALITY
Fuurinkazan is a guild started by Klein and a group of his friends from the real world. They had waited in line for a long time in order for each of them to obtain one of the 10,000 copies of the game. All of the members of Fuurinkazan have known each other since before SAO started.

DESCRIPTION
Midori Kirigaya is the mother of Suguha, as well as the aunt and adoptive mother of Kazuto. She is an extremely busy woman and leaves the two kids to take care of themselves, only coming back home late in the night and leaving early in the morning, though she still shows love and care for them.
PERSONALITY
While Kazuto was trapped in Sword Art Online, Midori and her husband Minetaka revealed the truth about Kazuto being an adopted child to Suguha at the hospital. They had been planning to wait until Suguha was in high school to tell her, but the possibility of Kazuto dying while in the game motivated them to do it sooner, while he was still alive.
VOICE
"Caitlin Glass"
Gosh, I remember it like it was yesterday. Kazuto stood there looking at me and then he told me he wanted to know who his real parents were. I was so shocked, I didn't know what to say. He was only ten but, here's the thing: somehow, he logged-on to the Citizens Registration Network and found the file!
No, not at all. He was ALWAYS into computers and technology. By the time he was six, he had already built his own computer out of spare parts. If anything, he's like that because he's a huge computer nerd like me...or so he thinks. (stands and gathers her purse) Well, I'm heading home to get dinner ready. (pats Suguha's had) Don't stay too long, OK, Suguha?
DESCRIPTION
Alicia Rue is a supporting character in the Fairy Dance Arc and a reoccurring character throughout the Sword Art Online series. She is the Lord of the Cait Sith race in "ALfheim Online" (ALO). She was elected to the position of leader by popular vote. She formed an alliance with the Sylphs to finish the "Guardians of the World Tree".
PERSONALITY
During the Cait Sith meeting with the Sylphs at the Butterfly Valley, the negotiations were interrupted by Salamanders led by General Eugene. Just before they could attack, Kirito entered the stage and helped prevent a battle by bluffing about a Spriggan-Undine alliance and defeating Eugene in battle.
VOICE
"Christina Vee"
(going over to Kirito and taking his arm) Y'know, for a big, fat liar, you're pretty freakin' strong, handsome! You're like the MVP of Spriggans! Are you their secret weapon?
We wanna help, but storming the Tree's gonna take some time to set up. We've gotta gear-up the Raiding Party and stuff. And that'll take us WAY more than a few days.
DESCRIPTION
Sakuya is a supporting character in the Fairy Dance Arc and a reoccurring character throughout the Sword Art Online series. She is the Lord of the Sylph race in ALfheim Online and an exceptional swordswoman. She was elected as the leader of the Sylph race by garnering 80% of votes. Although her stats are not very high due to her status as a Lord preventing her from leaving safe zones without proper escort, she is a formidable opponent in the Sylph dueling tournaments.
PERSONALITYÂ
For a female Sylph, Sakuya had an excessively tall figure, with glossy, dark green hair so dark that it is nearly black hanging down her back. She has white skin, almond eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. According to Leafa her beauty is that of a finely honed blade. Sakuya wears Japanese-style clothing and a katana that hangs from her obi. Her feet clad in high crimson clogs peek out from beneath the hem of her leaf green kimono.
VOICE
"Lauren Landa"
I see. I could tell there was something off about Sigurd's attitude recently. He seemed so irritated.
(smiling wickedly) Actually, I was thinking of granting the request you made them. Since you can't stand being a Sylph, you're free to go. I'm letting you LIVE to wander the neutral territories as a Renegade. With any luck, you'll find something there that'll occupy your precious time.
DESCRIPTION
Schmitt is a supporting character in the Aincrad Arc. He is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online". Schmitt used to be member of the "Golden Apple" guild, until he unknowingly assisted in the murder of their leader. When his original guild collapsed following this incident, Schmitt used the money he earned from the culprit to purchase gear that would earn him entry to the Divine Dragons Alliance guild. Eventually, Schmitt became the sub-leader of the guild's defense force.
PERSONALITY
Although Schmitt appears to be a brave tank during battles, in reality, he is extremely afraid of death. Figuring that the rules of the game might change and towns might become unsafe at some point, he decided to "become sturdy" and thus put in a lot of effort in leveling up, though he chose the safest methods to do so. Because of his insistent philosophy of being "sturdy" and his hard work, he eventually became one of the strongest players in the game in terms of Hit Points (HP), equipment defense and defensive skills. Additionally, due to such a philosophy, he views people wearing light leather armour and using offense-oriented weapons as weirdos.
VOICE
"Kaiji Tang"
Griselda, the only way I can be safe now is if you forgive me. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, Griselda! I swear, I never thought this was going to happen! You have to believe me!
(gasps and stands) Well, then, why would he wait six months to kill him?! Unless,...wait, could HE have stolen the ring?! Do you think it's possible HE killed Griselda after all?! (falls back in his seat) Does Grimlock want to kill the three of us because we didn't want to sell the damn ring?!? Is THAT why he's after you and me now?!?
DESCRIPTION
Ducker was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online" and a member of the "Moonlit Black Cats" guild. Ducker was a thief-build player and was killed along with most of his guild, excluding Kirito, when he triggered a trap that spawned multiple monsters and prevented the use of crystals.
PERSONALITY
Ducker was an outgoing and playful person who once jokingly grabbed Keita from behind to get his attention.
VOICEÂ
"Erik Kimerer"
Here's to us, the Moonlit Black Cats! Cheers everyone!
(jumping down) Hey, "leader", give me some love! (puts Keita in a "sleeper hold")
DESCRIPTION
Kagemune is the captain of the Salamander's Lance Group.
PERSONALITY
Kagemune acknowledges his opponents' strength, for example, when he witnessed Kirito effortlessly taking down two of his lancers, he admitted that Kirito and Leafa could likely defeat him one-on-one. He has also been shown to be a person who returns favors, like when he supported Kirito's lie to his superior General Eugene.
VOICE
"Keith Silverstein"
You might find this interesting. You know how my Party was wiped out yesterday? Well, this Spriggan? He's the same guy who took everyone out. And he WAS traveling with an Undine.
Sorry about this. We're on a mission, though. Give up your money and items and we'll let you go.
DESCRIPTION

PERSONALITY
Sasha is a protective and caring person who is willing to take in young players, who are lost and unwilling to fight, and defend them from people who abuse them, such as The Army.
VOICE
"Erika Harlacher"
Hmm...sorry, I haven't. I mean, there ARE a lot of kids in town, but I'VE never seen her. When the game started, a lot of the children suffered severe psychological trauma. I couldn't stand by and do nothing. So I moved to this church and made it a safe place for them to live. (Quick shot of someone walking towards the church) I walk through the town every day looking for kids like these, kids who might need my help. But, in all this time, I've NEVER seen her before.
I know, right? It's like this pretty much every day. By the way, is Yui feeling any better?
DESCRIPTION
Sasamaru was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online" and a member of the "Moonlit Black Cats", a small guild. He was killed along with most of his guild when a trap was triggered that sealed the room, spawned numerous monsters into the room and prevented the use of crystals.
PERSONALITY
Sasamaru was an easy-going and a cheerful person.
VOICE
"Bobby Thong"
I know! We should upgrade Sachi's equipment!
Can you believe it? I never thought buying a house could be so exciting!
DESCRIPTION
Nishida is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online" and one of the oldest in the game. He is a fisherman in the game, but in reality, he works for "Tohto Broadband Connection", a network operator company that worked with Argus to check the network connecting for SAO. He was in charge of maintaining the network connection before being trapped in the game.
PERSONALITY
Nishida is a kind old man who loves to fish and is one of the few people who enjoyed living their lives in the virtual world of SAO.
VOICE
"Doug Stone"
Ya catch anything? (Kirito nearly falls off his stool in surprise) Heh-heh-heh. Sorry, I didn't mean to sneak up on ya like that. (makes a long cast with his own fishing pole and sits on another stool) My name's Nishida and I'm a fisherman...in the game, anyway. Back in Japan, I was the head of network security for a company called Toto High-Speed Internet.
Being trapped in here for the past two years...even if I made it out alive, I don't know if I can go back to my old job, my old LIFE. Maybe, deep down inside, I had given up hope of EVER gettin' out. And I figured spending my time with a fishing pole between my mitts was the best thing for me. Pretty sad, huh?
DESCRIPTION
Shouzou Yuuki is the father of Asuna and Kouichirou and is also the former CEO of RECT Inc.
PERSONALITY
Shouzou Yuuki is a loving father, having regularly visited his daughter at the hospital during two and half years since Asuna was trapped in Sword Art Online (SAO).
VOICE
"Keith Silverstein"
Oh, sorry. I know we're not supposed to talk about what happened inside the SAO server. But, he's my partner's son, so it's fine. Besides, I always thought of him as part of my family.
(surprised) This IS sudden. Are you sure this is really what you want? I mean, you're still young. You have your whole life ahead of you.
Kazuto. Sorry, I didn't know you were here. Thank you for coming.
DESCRIPTION
Sigurd is a Sylph warrior in the VRMMORPG: "ALfheim Online" and an active member of Sylph bureaucracy, being the assistant of the race's lord, until he is later banished for his betrayal.
PERSONALITY
Sigurd is a very arrogant and self-righteous, "holier-than-thou" kind of man, who values respect more than his companions, even resorting to using them like items, as in the case with Leafa. It is unlike him to sacrifice himself for others, either.Â
VOICE
"Tony Oliver"
(angry, reaching for his sword) You son of a...I bet that big mouth of yours got you thrown out of your own territory! Let's see what you got, you piece of Spriggan trash!
Once you cross our border, you'd better run and hide, Leafa. I never expected you to betray me like this! Never! But you'll regret it soon enough! (turns and leaves, the Officers flanking him)
Leafa! So THAT'S it! Those incompetent lizards! (suddenly smiles) Well, it's your move now, Sakuya. Are you gonna find me? Or maybe you want to take away my command? If so, remember: without me running your military, your rule won't last very long.
DESCRIPTION
Yui, officially named "Yui-MHCP001" (Mental Health Counseling Program 001), is a supporting character throughout the Sword Art Online series. She is a top-down Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that was originally developed by Argus to address player mental health concerns in Sword Art Online (SAO). However, when Kayaba Akihiko turned Sword Art Online into a death game, Yui was forbidden from interfering with players whatsoever by the Cardinal System, which led to her collapsing due to being forced to monitor player mental health without being able to fulfil her duties.
PERSONALITY
Yui had become melancholic when the death game began, as she was not allowed to comfort players and was forced to continue monitoring their psychological parameters. When she finally, after nearly two years of only seeing insanity, misery, and anger, noticed a couple, expressing happiness and joy, she became overwhelmed with curiosity, which led to her ignoring the Cardinal System's command not to interact with players.
VOICE
"Stephanie Sheh"
You humans are so complicated. (flies to Kirito's shoulder) Honestly, your psychology is confusing. Why do you act so horribly to each other when all you want is companionship?
(slowly and quietly) My...my name is...I think my name is...I think, uh...Yu-i. Yui. That's it. Yui.
(looks at altar) Look. This is actually a console a GM can use to gain emergeny access to the System. (puts hand on altar, which shows a glowing keyboard) I used it to delete the monster in the corridor. And now, because I disobeyed the Cardinal's directive, the System is running a check on my program. It thinks I'm a foreign object now. I'll probably be deleted at once.
DESCRIPTION
Diabel was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online" and was one of the few known beta testers. He appeared as the leader of the 1st Floor boss raid party and died while fighting Illfang the Kobold Lord.
PERSONALITY
Diabel was a strong and natural leader, having led the raiding group with tactics, resulting with almost no casualties and inspiring fellow players to clear the death game with his speech of determination. However, his personality had a darker side as he secretly tried to use the situation to his own advantage, like attempting to purchase the Anneal Bladee from Kirito to reduce his attack power during the boss raid and ensuring that he was assigned to a support role of handling Illfang's minions in order to prevent him from taking the Last Attack (LA) on the boss and then aiming for the LA himself.
VOICE
"Sean Chiplock"
(claps hands to get attention of all) Okay, people! Now that everyone's here, let's get this meeting started. (Quick shot of Kirito sitting down) So, anyway, I wanna thank everyone for coming. Good to see ya. My name is Diabel and, in this game, the job I rolled is "knight"!
(nods) Please...you have to...defeat the Boss...for everyone here...(Diabel glows and then disappears in a flurry of polygons, just like everything else that dies in the game)
DESCRIPTION
Rosalia is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online" as well as the leader of the "Titan's Hand" orange guild. She scouted for victims and lured them to a place where the other members of the guild would then attack and loot the victims, thus maintaining her "green cursor" to avoid suspicion. She was caught by Kirito and sent to the prison managed by "Aincrad Liberation Force" (The Army).
PERSONALITY
Rosalia is a sly woman who uses her beauty and charms to attract potential victims for her guild to ambush. She will try to sweet-talk herself out of troubling situations, such as when she futilely attempted to convince Kirito that they should form a party instead of him sending her to prison.
VOICE
"Laura Post"
What are you talking about? Why should we have to share these Healing Crystals with you? Your pet lizard has healing powers, y'know.
(still off the bridge) What the HELL, you idiots?!? KILL HIM, ALREADY!! (The Guild is perplexed as to how Kirito isn't dead already)
DESCRIPTION
Grimlock is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online" and a former member of the "Golden Apple" guild.
PERSONALITY
Grimlock had apparently loved his wife, Griselda, greatly. However, unlike Grimlock who was constantly scared of death, Griselda did not fear death as she played Sword Art Online and was notably more lively living in the game than she was in real life. Grimlock apparently felt that Griselda had loved the game more than her husband and, in possibly desperation due to the fear of death, he killed Griselda as he believed she no longer resemble the wife he loved in real life.Â
VOICE
"Matthew Mercer"
Hmm...money? Did you say "money"? (laughs maniacally...then frowns) It wasn't for the money. I *had* to. No matter what, I had to kill her while we were stuck in this world. I had to kill her while she was still my wife. And because she was also my wife in the real world!
It's reason enough. And, someday, YOU'll understand, too. Once you found love, believe me, you'll do ANYTHING to keep it.

After returning to the real world in the aftermath of the Sword Art Online incident, Andrew began playing ALFheim Online (ALO) as a Gnome. In real life, Andrew manages the "Dicey Cafe" with the help of his wife.
PERSONALITY
Agil is a very friendly and helpful person who is always looking out for others. He is also trustworthy and reliable, shown when he defended the beta testers against Kibao, gave Kirito a place to stay, and helped players on lower floors. He also can be a leader on the battlefield and will help his comrades and friends no matter the cost. Although Agil acted as though he only cared about making money, Kirito commented that he had spent all of his helping mid-level players level up.
VOICE
"Patrick Seitz"
(Whispering) "What the hell's gotten into you?! You're supposed to be a solo player, man! What are you doing hanging around with Asuna?! I thought you guys hate each other's guts, straight up!"
(Normal) "Hey... my name's Agil. Kibaou, right? I want to make sure I'm on the same page... you say the ex-beta testers should be blamed for the rookies' deaths because they didn't help them... and you want them to apologize and give up their winnings... I leave anything out?"
(Raised voice) "Listen up! Everyone had equal access to this information. Even so, lots of players still died. Now, I didn't come here to point fingers at anyone... I'm here because I want to learn from those players' deaths. I'm here because I want to find out how we're gonna beat the boss."

VOICE
"Christine Marie Cabanos"
(closing her menu) Fine! I don't care! You want my items? Take 'em! But I'm never gonna team up with you again! I know there's a TON of other Parties who would LOVE to have me on their side! (turns and stomps away)
I...I think it's cool you're with the Assault Team. I could try for a hundred years and never make it.
I didn't talk you into it! It was YOUR idea! YOU said we should let them have their "little romance" for a month, remember? I mean, God! Talk about naive! (Rika sighs as Keiko looks out the window at the sky)
DESCRIPTIONÂ
Akihiko Kayaba, known as "Heathcliff" in Sword Art Online, was the main antagonist of the Aincrad Arc and a supporting character in the Fairy Dance Arc and Alicization Arc. He was the development director and Game Master (GM) of "Sword Art Online", as well as the designer of the "NerveGear", the Cardinal System and "The Seed"
PERSONALITY
Prior to the SAO incident, Akihiko Kayaba was somewhat reclusive, preferring "to stay out of the spotlight and the media." It is possible that this behavior, in addition to his "destructive, unpredictive genius," added to "his allure" towards his fans.Â
VOICE
"Marc Diraison"
It's important to remember the following: there is no longer any way to revive someone within the game. (screens disappear) If your HP drops to zero, your avatar will be deleted from the System forever...and the NerveGear will simultaneously destroy your brain.
(KIRITO: And what about the 4000 people who died? What about them?!) They'll never return. In any world - real or virtual - once you're dead, you're gone.
The beginnings of a new world. I call it "The Seed". Once it "sprouts", you'll know what it is. What you DO with it is up to you. You can even delete it if you want. However, if you still have a tiny bit of fondness left for the virtual world, you'll take care of it.
DESCRIPTION
Nagata Shinichi, known as Recon in "ALfheim Online" (ALO), is a Sylph player who excels at using daggers, stealth and dark magic in combat. In real life, he is a friend and classmate of Kirigaya Suguha. As Recon, Shinichi acted as Leafa's in-game character's mentor, until she surpassed him.
PERSONALITY
Living up to his name, Recon is considered to be one of the best trackers among the Sylphs. Because of this, he takes up the role as lead tracker during hunting expeditions. Despite his somewhat unreliable attitude, Recon is a veteran in ALfheim Online and has mastered the use of daggers in combat.
VOICE
"Marianne Miller"
(approaches and shakes Kirito's hand) Oh, hi. Nice to meet ya. (gasp) Wait! (jumps back, hand on dagger again) What am I talking about?! I take that back! (To Leafa) You sure about him?! He could be a spy or something!
But isn't Arun at the base of the World Tree? Wait a second! You...are you...you're not going with that Spriggan?!
W-We got trouble! Like...like, BIG trouble! Sigurd's coming after us! And that's not all! He betrayed Sakuya, the Sylph Commander!
DESCRIPTION
Atsushi Kanamoto, known as Johnny Black in "Sword Art Online", is a minor antagonist in the Aincrad Arc, Phantom Bullet Arc, and Alicization Arc. He was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in Sword Art Online, where he was a member of the infamous "Laughing Coffin" red guild. In the game, he was partnered with Red-Eyed XaXa and well known for using poisons in battles. A year after Sword Art Online was cleared, Atsushi was invited to help with the Death Gun plot by his former Laughing Coffin partner. At the end of the incident, Atsushi managed to escape arrest with a spare dose of a dangerous drug, succinylcholine. Atsushi resurfaced half a year later, when he assaulted Kazuto Kirigaya, while he was accompanying Asuna Yuuki home, and injected him with a lethal dose of the drug.
PERSONALITY
Johnny Black is a sadistic, cold-blooded killer who likes to have fun with his victims before killing them. For example, when he, XaXa, and PoH had captured Schmitt, Caynz, and Yolko on the Hill of the Cross, he suggested having a fight-to-the-death game among their captives, with the promise of freedom as a reward to the victor of the game. However, PoH revealed that he had killed the winner of such a game the last time anyway.
VOICE
"Alejandro Saab"
Oh, I know! I know! Let's play the one where they have to kill each other! Last one standing wins!
Oh, c'mon! You spoiled it! It's no fun if they know they're gonna die! (tilts his head so Schmitt can see a skull mask over his eyes)
Damn Kirito! (he chuckles sadistically) I can't believe you're the same dude that beat THE HELL OUTTA US! But you're just a punk ass kid, aint'cha? Take away your swords, and you're nothing!
DESCRIPTION
Thinker is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online". He is in charge of the popular net gaming information site: "MMO Today" and was also the former leader of SAO's largest guild: the "Aincrad Liberation Force" (ALF).
PERSONALITY
Thinker desired to help those in need. During his time in SAO, he spent most of his time spreading information and resources equally among as many players as possible in order for them to use that mutual aid to clear the death game. Kirito described Thinker as having a character that gave off an aura of gentleness.
VOICE
"Victor Sgroi"
Thank you, but, ever since we got back, it's been taking everything we've got to adjust to life here. The GOOD thing is I'm settling into "work mode" again.
Yeah, I wish it were better. It could've used a bit more content. Oh, well, with the way MMOs are now, who needs walkthroughs and news? Those things are gonna be irrelevant soon, anyway.
DESCRIPTION
Kibaou is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online" and the former leader of one of the two top clearing guilds in the early days of Sword Art Online, the "Aincrad Liberation Squad".

PERSONALITY
Kibaou is a power-hungry person who abuses authority to accumulate more wealth and power by extorting taxes and items through intimidation.
VOICE
"Derek Stephen Prince"
(Annoyed) "Hold on a sec! My name's Kibaou, got that? Before we take on the boss, I wanna get something off my chest! We all know about the 2000 people who died so far, yeah? Well, some of you need to apologize to them right now!"
(tears in his eyes) That's what I said! Admit it! You KNEW the technique the Boss was gonna use! (Flashback to Kirito trying to warn Diabel and Illfang killing him) You could've TOLD us!! Then Diabel would've stood a chance! HE WOULDN'T'VE HAD TO DIE!! (murmuring from the Group)
DESCRIPTIONÂ
Yolko is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in the online game "Sword Art Online". She was a former member of the guild "Golden Apple". She and Caynz worked together to discover who killed Griselda.
PERSONALITY

VOICE
"Natalie Hoover"
(a bit embarrassed) You won't believe me but...after it was over, I was going to tell you the truth. I am sorry we had to trick you to help us out. (Kirito chuckles a little)
I can't believe it! Did you...did you really plan this?! (Grimlock remains silent, but he does frown) HOW COULD YOU, GRIMLOCK?! ANSWER ME! Why did you kill Griselda?! Was it the money?! Was the money so important to you that you'd kill your own wife for it?!

VOICE
"Lucien Dodge"
Well, in that case, I hate to spring this on you here but...if you want, we'd LOVE to have you in our Guild. Our mace weilder, Tetsuo, is the only one we can put out front right now. (pets Sachi's head) And then we've got Sachi over here. I was thinking having her switch to sword and shield. That way, she can fight on the front lines. The thing is she says she's not sure she can handle it. If you join us, maybe you can teach her a thing or two.
(in darkness of the flashback) You're a beater! You had no right to BE with us!

She is the daughter of the former CEO of RECT Inc. Asuna was one of the 10,000 players trapped in "Sword Art Online", where she was the sub-leader of the "Knights of the Blood" (KoB) guild. Her skills with the rapier had her earned her the nickname "The Flash"
PERSONALITY
Asuna originally did not care about dying in the game before meeting Kirito. That meeting drastically changed Asuna's personality and outlook on life. She soon takes most things Kirito says to heart and looks to him for help, using him as somewhat of a lifeline.
VOICE
"Cherami Leigh"
Hmm...I was just having a dream...about my old life. It was weird. In the dream I had, everything in Aincrad - everything that happened and meeting you - was just that: a dream. And I was so scared. But it wasn't. Thank God it wasn't.
If I've learned anything in the last two years, it's this: to keep doing the best we can 'til the very end. And, if we make it back to the real world, I promise I'm going to find you again, no matter what...and fall in love with you again.
I'm not gonna die, got that? I *can't* die because...I have to protect you. (holds Kirito's head to her shoulder)

PERSONALITY
Unlike her cousin Kazuto, Suguha is upbeat and outgoing. She is much more social and converses easily with others. Even when Kazuto began to push her away after finding out they were not really siblings, she still treated him with good spirit and tried to get back in his life. She can be very aggressive towards those that annoy her or cross her and can easily lose her temper. This is demonstrated in one case when Recon attempted to kiss her after confessing his love to her and she punched him.
VOICE
"Cassandra Lee Morris"
Well, for one thing, the Salamander and Sylph races never got along. But those guys were organized and THAT wasn't happening until recently. I dunno. If you ask me, they're gearing up to try to clear the World Tree soon.
(narrating) "I wanna see what virtual reality's like." I wonder when I first thought that? I used to hate virtual reality games with a vengeance. And I blamed them for stealing my brother away from me. But, later on, I got curious. I didn't know WHY my brother loved them so much. So I figured, "Maybe I should see why for myself."
(looks down at Kazuto) He's my cousin, NOT my big brother. I still have a hard time believing it. My "big brother". (pokes Kazuto's cheek, hoping he'll wake up)

Geez, you're the same as ever. (notices Asuna) Wait...WHOA! You're a solo player! What the heck are you doing with a...(REALLY notices Asuna)...girl?! (freezes in place)
(Emotional) Stay alive you hear? I don’t care how you do it. Just stay alive until the end.
(Shocked after Death Gun's reveal) In SAO we had a code, ‘Never let another Player’s HP hit zero no matter what.’ We knew if it dropped to nothing that Player would die.

PERSONALITY
Lisbeth is a very friendly person that can get along with just about everyone she meets. She is hardworking and takes great pride in her abilities as a blacksmith. She will become very defensive and aggressive if someone were to challenge her pride as a blacksmith much like Kirito did after accidentally breaking the best sword she had created. She has a bad temper and can get somewhat violent, such as when she grabbed Kirito by the collar after he broke one of her best swords. Lisbeth is very teasing as well.
VOICE
"Sarah Ann Williams"
Oh, c'mon...you don't have to apologize or anything. (steps up to whisper in Asuna's ear) He might be a little weird, but he's not such a bad guy. Don't screw this up, Asuna. He's a keeper.
(depressed) Leave me alone...he's all over her and it's driving me nuts. Acting like that at school, it's so tacky!
Yeah, well, that's sorta kinda your own fault. You said it was gonna be our little secret, but you went and blabbed it to everyone. (grins wickedly as Kirito stews)

It was also rumored that Heathcliff's hit points (HP) had never reached the yellow zone.
VOICE
"Kevin M. Connolly"
If you want her, you'll have to use your Dual Blades to take her from us. If you can defeat me in combat, you'll be free to take Asuna. On the other hand, if you lose,...you WILL join the Knights of the Blood Oath!
I'm sorry about this, Kirito. (looking around at the crowd) I didn't think this would be such a big deal. This is crazy.
(nods slightly) Yes, I thought so. It was a mistake to think that would go unnoticed by you, but you were so strong and so fast, the only choice I had was to engage the System's Assist Mode. (more gasps; Heathcliff looks around at the stunned faces) Yes, I *am* Akihiko Kayaba! And, now that my identity has been revealed, it should come as no surprise that I'm the FINAL boss on the top Floor!

Nobuyuki is an amoral and greedy entrepreneur, having kidnapped 300 players from SAO for his experiment on manipulating the human mind, which he planned to sell to other companies. Nobuyuki also has a habit of framing others for his problems, especially Kayaba as he felt that he was the source of all of his problems.
VOICE
"Todd Haberkorn"
(gasp) You're THE "Kirito"?! (steps up and shakes Kazuto's hand) You're a hero! It's an honor! (Kazuto looks at Shouzou for explanation)
I don't know what kind of promises you made to each other in the game and I don't really care. But I don't EVER want to see you here again, understood?! And, from now on, stay away from the Yuuki family! We're having the ceremony here on January 26th, a week from now. Save the date. Even though you're not welcome here anymore, you SHOULD come to the wedding. No need to thank me." (stops before he leaves) "Well, Mr. Hero, you've got the room all to yourself now. Say good-bye and get out! (leaves)
(chuckling) You're spoiling the fun. In THIS world, I'm known as Oberon, the Fairy King! There's not a player who wouldn't give EVERYTHING to be the ruler of ALfheim! And YOU are "Queen Titania", my breath-taking bride.
DESCRIPTION

He is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in Sword Art Online, where he was a member of the infamous red guild "Laughing Coffin", nicknamed as Red-Eyed XaXa, because of the red eyes of his skull mask. After being released from the game, Shouichi began playing Gun Gale Online due to the recommendation of his brother, Kyouji Shinkawa. In October 2025, the two brothers created and began executing the "Death Gun" plot, which involved giving the impression that they could kill people in real life from within a game.
PERSONALITY
Shouichi is a cold and sadistic person who believed in PoH's principles. He enjoys killing other players, even with full knowledge that they would be killed in real life as well, due to relishing the feeling of being feared by others. Shouichi's sense of reality began wearing thin since he joined Laughing Coffin, feeling that only things beneficial to him were real.
VOICE
"Benjamin Diskin"
That's a helluva catch! A big shot from the Holy Dragon Alliance! (shows a hatchet as his two compatriots flank him)
(Announcing after shooting XeXeeD) THIS IS REAL POWER! REAL STRENGTH! LET YOUR FEAR CARVE ONE NAME INTO YOUR BRAINS! THE NAME I SHARE WITH THIS WEAPON… DEATH GUN!
(Talking to Kirito as Death Gun) With that name and your sword skills, are you the real deal or what?
DESCRIPTION
Hosaka Carina Tomo, known as Argo in "Sword Art Online", is a supporting character in the Aincrad Arc and the Unital Ring Arc. She was an SAO beta tester and is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in Sword Art Online, where she worked as an information broker and was known by the nickname Argo the Rat due to the whiskers painted on her face in the beta test that eventually became her trademark. Although she was infamous in the game as a person who sold almost anything that could be given a price tag, Argo also distributed both strategy guides for less experienced players to help them survive the game, and information on bosses from the beta test free of charge with money she earned from selling her guidebooks to Clearers. Aside from her information broker business, Argo also worked as a messenger between players.
PERSONALITY
Argo is a completely business-focused person, with people saying that she would sell her own stats or grandmother for Cor. Nonetheless, Argo has certain principles: she refused to provide anyone with the names of SAO beta testers as it would endanger the players, and she has been known to honor her debts, as was the case with Kirito saving her from the ninja clan. She is so focused on completing her field guides that it sometimes gets her into trouble.
VOICE
"Kimberley Anne Campbell"
I hear SOMEONE's been taking risks with their level raising.
Hey, this wasn't in the Beta test; it's a first-time event. How'm I supposed to know what's gonna happen?! All I know is that, tonight, on Christmas Eve, the Event Boss is gonna appear. He's called "Nicholas the Renegade" and he's gonna show up under a fir tree somewhere. The major Guilds are searching everywhere for the tree as we speak. (Kirito stands) YOU wouldn't happen to know where it is would you?
DESCRIPTION

PERSONALITY
Kuradeel first appeared to be a man who overstepped his bounds to protect the vice-commander of the KoB, Asuna, whether she liked it or not. He was also prideful and emotional, exemplified by him challenging Kirito to a duel when the swordsman claimed he could do a better job at protecting Asuna.
VOICE
"Doug Erholtz"
(approaches Asuna) You shouldn't go with him, ma'am! All him and his kind care about are themselves! You can't expect anything good to come from scum like that!
Y'know, I just killed an innocent bystander BECAUSE of you. How am I gonna live with myself?

PERSONALITY
Godfree was an easy going person and a person who disliked conflicts among comrades, such as when he brought Kuradeel and Kirito together in his party just for them to bury the hatchet. However, Godfree is also a kind of person who is slow to understand the situation at hand, like when he thought that Kuradeel's treachery was some form of training exercise.
VOICE
"Kyle Hebert"
I can't do anything about it, ma'am. Besides, as second-in-command, you KNOW we can't ignore the rules. If he's gonna be joining us, then it's my job as Commander of the front lines to take the kid out and evaluate his skills.
(struggling) The hell's going on?! YOU packed the water, Kuradeel! What'd you do?! You bastard!

PERSONALITY
During Eugene's duel with Kirito it was revealed that Eugene is interested in fighting strong opponents, as, after Kirito withstood thirty seconds in battle with him, Eugene claimed that he changed the plan to have their duel changed to a deathmatch as he really wanted to cut Kirito down.
VOICE
"Joshua Tomar"
What the hell is a Spriggan like you doing here?! I'm gonna kill you, no matter what your answer. But, since your brave enough to face me, I might as well hear you out.
(chuckling a little) You're kidding me, right?! You're all alone and you got crappy gear so there's no way you could be ANYONE's ambassador! (draws sword) If you can survive my attacks for thirty seconds, THEN I'll believe you are who you say you are.
I didn't know the Spriggans HAD someone like you in their ranks. This world's a bigger place than I thought.

VOICE
"Amanda C. Miller"
When the Guild was formed, we...well, actually, it was our leader Thinker...he never wanted to turn into the kind of dictatorial organization it's become.
The dungeon is the highest level we've seen so far. He can't get out of there on his own. As his second-in-command, this is my responsibility. But the problem is...my level isn't high enough to reach him. And Kibaou is using his influence to keep the rest of the Army from helping me. When I heard that two of the most powerful players anyone's seen were in town, I thought, "This is my chance!" I tracked you down because I need your help! (stands) Kirito, Asuna, I beg you. For Thinker's sake, please help me rescue him from that dungeon!

PERSONALITYÂ
Caynz is a person who seeks justice, much like Yolko, for instance, he imitated being murdered to find and apprehend the perpetrator behind Griselda's death. Like his girlfriend, Caynz is a good actor, as he managed to fool the entire crowd of players, including Kirito and Asuna, into believing that he was PK-ed within the safe zone.
VOICE
"Kyle Hebert"
Of course we did, but you didn't betray her because you hated her, did you?
He DID forge the weapons for us, but only after we got down on our knees and begged him.

PERSONALITY
Sachi was a timid, apprehensive girl, who feared dying in Sword Art Online. Due to this fear, she had never intended to leave the Town of Beginnings and hated going into battles. She only felt the peace of mind to sleep soundly when she discovered Kirito's true level, which made her feel safe in his presence.
VOICE
"Xanthe Huynh"
Oh, come on. I'm not THAT useless. Seriously, you can't just put me up front and expect me to know what to do. I'd be terrified.
(laughing without humor) That's not such a bad idea. (Kirito is more shocked, but Sachi shakes her head) Sorry, no. If I had the guts to die, I wouldn't be hiding in town where it's safe, would I? (Kirito's releaved) But, really, why can't we just leave? Why do we have to die when it's just this stupid game? What's the point in going through this?!
DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION
Kobatz was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in Sword Art Online and was a lieutenant-colonel in the Aincrad Liberation Force (ALF).
PERSONALITY
Kobatz was a merciless and stubborn person, driving his men to their limits and forcing them to fight a difficult and pointless battle, even when they were exhausted and without proper preparations. He was also an arrogant and short-sighted man who refused to retreat from battle, claiming that the word "retreat" did not exist for The Army, even though the lives of his men were in danger and retreating would have allowed them to regroup and get reinforcements for the fight.
VOICE
"Joshua Tomar"
At ease! (The Guild all but collapses as Kobatz approaches the others) I'm with the Aincrad Liberation Army. Lieutenant Colonel Kobotz.
We share OUR information AND resources with civilian players all the time! And we don't charge a THING for it!! (Flashbacks to the "Tutorial" from Episode 1) We maintain order in the chaos of battle so that ALL players can LEAVE this world as quickly as possible!!
