SAO ending explained: What happened to Alice, Kiriko, and Asuna? (2023)

FAQs

What happened to Asuna at the end of SAO? ›

Towards the end of the SAO arc, she saves Kirito from a killing blow by Heathcliff at the cost of her life. However, her death was only in-game and she is shortly reunited with Kirito shortly after the death of Heathcliff.

Kirito opens the box only to find Alice inside it. Looking at Kirito, Alice loses her calm and confronts him for having stayed behind in the underworld. The two then duke each other out in a sword fight in Kiriko's family dojo where Alice emerges as the winner.

After Kirito and Asuna leave the Underworld after 200 years, they decide to remove their memories of the VR world. Many SAO fans were puzzled at their decision, but Asuna and Kirito made their decision with good reason. Regarding the Fluctlight's acceleration, time was manipulated unusually.

Alice was taken to the Chamber of Elders and had her Core Protection removed by force over three Underworld days. With Alice's Core Protection removed, Quinella conducted a «Synthesis Ritual» on her, suppressing the girl's memories and turning her into an absolutely loyal Integrity Knight.

Asuna and Kirito quickly began their leave of absence from the Knights of the Blood Oath and once buying their new home, they get married and begin to enjoy their honeymoon.

Kirito and Asuna become a couple, but in the original light novel and the anime, they hardly have any time for dates when they're trying to survive. The most they ever did was take time off to go on a honeymoon after getting married inside the game.

10 RESOLVED: Alice's Fate

Because of her popularity, the author managed to keep her in the story by any means neccessaryーeven if it meant turning her into an advanced android. Alice now lives as an Android in the real-life, with not much change to her persona.

Alice finally makes it to the real-world in War of Underworld, just as Kirito and Asuna make their return. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Episode 22 of Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld, Part 2, "Alice" now streaming on Crunchyroll.

Through Kirito's flashbacks we learn that Kirito and Asuna were so celebrated following Gabriel's defeat that they were able to unite the human territory with the forces of the dark territory. Eventually during this time span, the two of them go on to rule as the King and Queen of the Underworld.

No, they never did break up in SAO, sorry. They are together forever!

How many years was Kirito stuck in SAO? ›

The 200 years Kirito and Asuna spent in Underworld is glossed over, with Sword Art Online showing them waking up in the real world shortly after.

Does Alice Get Her Memories Back? No, she does not. The original Alice Zuberg with her memories is dead. Alice Synthesis 30, a separate being, has only a scraps of memories left in her from before the Synthesis Ritual - nothing more.

She was eventually taken away by an Integrity Knight after she broke a Sacred Taboo. In the capital, Alice's identity was stripped away by the Administrator Quinella who turned Alice into one of her Integrity Knights.

SWORD ART ONLINE LAST RECOLLECTION: the famous game series will be back in 2023.

After awakening they have their memories of 200 years in underworld removed under Kirito's request, though RATH employee Takeru Higa secretly keeps a backup consciousness of his 200 year self, who have unknown plans for the Underworld.

Lastly, it is as Gsimenas said, we already know what is going to happen in the next arc, and no, there is nothing about them being engaged/married etc. To sum up, as of current situation (in both anime and light novel), Kirito and Asuna are not either officialy engaged nor marred IRL.

Yui (Sword Art Online)

Kirito and Asuna have an adopted child, an artificial intelligence called “Yui”. They didn't have an opportunity to make a biological child yet on SAO timeline, but Yui does the job of being adorable very well as she is.

9 Asuna Yuuki / Asuna (15 - 18)

Asuna's age varies throughout the series. She is 15 at the start of the Aincrad Arc. Towards the end of it, she is 17.

Do the others (especially Sinon) know that Kirito and Asuna are a couple (Sword Art Online)? In fact one of the first things Sinon does after meeting Asuna is figure out shes Kirito's girlfriend. They get married in-game in Episode 11 of season 1.

Did Asuna and Kirito sleep together? ›

Yeah they did it WatchMojo just revealed it in their top ten anime characters who finally got laid on March 11, 2018.

Despite Alice having the upper hand in strength and armor, Asuna has the upper hand when it comes to speed and sword skills. Even without using a Divine Object, Asuna would have more sword skills, as well as better swordplay overall, when it comes to battling Alice.

Alice ends up falling in love with Kirito. The trio ends up traveling and doing missions together inside the world of Project Alicization. While many fans hoped that Alice and Eugeo would end up together, this relationship would never happen.

Season 1 of Sword Art Online has two happy endings, with the second one having much less impact.

Why was Asuna and Alice fighting over Kirito? They actually dont know each other, Alice thought asuna was not on their side and wanted to kidnap kirito, but now they will share each story they have over him.

Gasupht Zuberg (ガスフト・ツーベルク, Gasufuto Tsūberuku^?) is the Village Chief of Rulid Village. He is the father of Alice and Selka.

She constantly feels inferior to Asuna on all fronts and thus consistently feels the urge to simply “compete” against her no matter the topic.

Asuna is Kirito's partner and main love interest in the series. Among all the people Kirito has met, she is the closest and dearest to him. Originally the two of them only thought of clearing the game, but their relationship began when they partied on the 1^st Floor.

For the thousandth time, the only reason Eugeo and Kirito look similar is because Japanese series suffer from "Same Face Syndrome". Just because the characters look similar does not mean they are related in any way.

During the second half, she dives into the Underworld in order to protect and rescue Kirito and the residents of the Human Empire.

Why didn t Asuna wake up? ›

Asuna "survived" because Kirito managed to clear the game before her 10 minutes to death. Kirito survived because he killed Heathcliff before he died. 2. Explained in the latest episode, 300 survivors including Asuna were filtered and transferred into a different server.

No. Kirito and Asuna are still completely in love and Kirito, as he typically behaves with all of his female friends, doesn't show a sliver of interest in Alice aside from a friend and battle companion.

He himself was never immortal and actually almost died in both encounters.

Alice is unaware of the plot to get herself married to Hamish. After arriving at the party late, she and Hamish dance quadrille, but the dance is a failure, with Hamish constantly reprimanding Alice for her personality.

What Alice Forgot is a 2009 novel by Australian author Liane Moriarty. It tells the story of a 39-year-old mother of three who loses her memory of the last ten years of her life. The book is Moriarty's third novel.

Because of her father's apparent abandonment of her and her mother, Alice has difficulties trusting men, preventing her from being part of a successful relationship. When her boyfriend Jack Chase (Heart) is kidnapped, she follows him into a re-imagined Wonderland.

Alice got jealous of Asuna when Asuna claims that she will be taking care of Kirito-Kun herself, but Alice said that she can take care of Kirito-kun too because she doesn't like people taking control of Kirito-Kun. Aice is simply an stubborn girl that can't accept being inferior to anyone.

Asuna is Sword Art Online's heroine and Kirito's girlfriend, while Alice is the newest addition in Alicization.

To the Rath employees, Alice is an artificial intelligence unit, a potential weapon to develop more of in order to protect human lives. In other words, human lives and AI lives do not have the same value.

What will SAO season 4 be called? ›

Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld.

Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld (2019–20)

The season 5 of the series is names as Progressive and the trailer that was released earlier gained large-scale popularity. You can watch the trailer here.

Unless he can defeat Gabriel and make it back to the real world before the maximum-acceleration phase begins, Kirito will have to spend the next 200 years in the Underworld.

After Alicization comes the short story Moon Cradle, which is set before the end of the Alicization arc. Moon Cradle spans two volumes if I remember correctly. The next main installment though will be called Unital Ring and will be the final story arc for the series.

Kirito said that nothing would end and nothing would start until Asuna was released from the virtual world. After rescuing Asuna in ALfheim Online (ALO), the two of them finally met face to face and they officially became a couple in the real world.

To sum up, as of current situation (in both anime and light novel), Kirito and Asuna are not either officialy engaged nor marred IRL. The ring is a promise ring that symbolizes their feelings for each other and planning their future togehter.

No. Kirito and Asuna are still completely in love and Kirito, as he typically behaves with all of his female friends, doesn't show a sliver of interest in Alice aside from a friend and battle companion.

To put it simply, the Kirito we saw wake up from the STL is the real Kirito (its physically impossible for him to be the copy they can't clone his real body....) and the Kirito that we saw speaking on the monitor to Higa in his bedroom was the copy.

After defeating Gabriel, Kirito and Asuna had made the ultimate decision to spend 200 years of their virtual lives together before being reunited in the real world. As we learn, the two of them eventually became the King and Queen of it.

Who is Kirito's wife? ›

Asuna Yuuki

Asuna is Kirito's partner and love interest. They first met after being trapped in SAO for a month and formed a party to defeat the 1st Floor Boss.

After 200 years, Kirito and Asuna have clearly filled their data storage, meaning they'd have to start choosing which memories to erase or face certain functional drawbacks. Thus, their decision to scrap those memories and start fresh seems like a practical and necessary form of personal maintenance.

After her mother reveals to her that Kazuto Kirigaya is not her biological brother, Suguha starts to develop romantic feelings towards him but is later saddened after realizing his attachment to Asuna Yuuki. In the anime adaptation, Leafa is voiced in Japanese by Ayana Taketatsu and in English by Cassandra Lee Morris.

There, Kirito clearly states that Asuna is his second love and Sachi is his first love.

At the beginning when she was Alice Zuberg, she is 11-years-old. In chapter 1 of the light novel, she is 17-years-old. And in chapter 5, she is 19-years-old. As fans can notice, she has grown into a young lady.

Kouichirou is Asuna's brother. Kouichirou is the one who originally had the game copy of SAO, which Asuna borrowed as Kouichirou was not able to play on the first day, which lead to her being trapped in the death game.
