He's strong.
One moment...
I just need one moment.
If I can break his rush...
Kirito!
If only my scope worked...
I needed to accept what killing them meant,
the weight, and to keep thinking.
Doing that is the bare minimum of atonement I can do.
Right now, Kirito is trying to translate his words into action,
by stopping the criminal named Death Gun,
who carries the darkness of SAO.
He can't do it because he's strong.
He does it because he accepts his weakness.
He worries, suffers,
and tries to move forward anyway!
Is there anything I can do?
Phantom Bullet
Kirito-kun...
If he's sweating this much, he's at risk of dehydration.
We can't have him log out temporarily, can we?
No matter what we say here, Kirito-kun won't hear us.
And the Amusphere will automatically cut off
if he reaches a dangerous level of dehydration.
All right.
I'll watch a little more.
Mommy, his hand...
Yui
Take his hand.
The warmth of your hand will reach him.
My hands can't touch your world...
So touch him for me, too.
No, that isn't true.
I'm sure your hands will also reach him.
Let's cheer on Daddy... Kirito-kun together.
Mommy...
Fight, Kirito-kun...
For what you believe in.
I'm always here for you.
I'll always watch your back and support you.
He's right... I refused to hear his name!
I never wanted to think of him again.
But...
That was actually impossible!
I didn't forget.
I pretended to forget!
I was just fooling myself!
Red eyes...
During the meeting before the attack...
"Black."
"Red."
Red...
Zaza.
Red-eyed Zaza...
That's your name!
Kirito!
This attack via prediction line is an illusion
containing all of Sinon's experience, insight, and fighting spirit.
I can't waste this last attack... This phantom bullet!
It isn't over yet...
I won't let it end until they find out, and...
No, it's over, Zaza.
We'll find your partner.
Laughing Coffin's murders are over.
Kirito-kun...
Daddy...
It's over...
Yeah.
We need to end the tournament.
Yeah,
we do.
With Death Gun gone,
his partner that was after you should have left.
So if you log out, you should be safe.
But it would be safest to call the police, anyway.
But when I call 110, what should I tell them?
That's true...
My employer is a government employee, so we can ask him to help.
But I can't ask for your name and address here.
It's fine.
I'll tell you.
B-But...
My name is Asada Shino.
My address...
I'm surprised.
That's right near where I'm diving.
Really?
After I log out, want me to go there?
You wi—
No, I'm fine.
There's a friend near me I trust.
Then when I log out, I'll contact my employer and have him send the police.
Okay.
Anyway, are you just going to have me reveal my personal info, and that's it?
Oh, sorry...
My name is Kirigaya Kazuto.
Kirigaya Kazuto...
So, "Kirito."
That's a pretty obvious name.
I d-don't want to hear that from you.
Yeah...
Now, if we're going to log out,
we need to end BoB.
What do you want to do, Sinon?
Want to have another duel like yesterday?
You're a mess.
If I beat you here, I couldn't take pride in it at all.
We can fight in the next BoB tournament.
Now, let's go end this.
But how?
Unless one of us loses all their HP, there's no winner, right?
They say the first BoB had two winners.
Because the person who was going to win lowered their guard,
and got hit by a present grenade.
A present grenade? What's that?
Third Bullet of Bullets
There were two victims of Death Gun, after all.
Which means he has more than two partners.
I feel so stupid.
Asada-san, are you there?
Asada-san, it's me.
Shinkawa-kun?
I really wanted to congratulate you on your victory, so I brought this.
Um, congratulations on winning.
That was amazing, Asada-san... Sinon.
You're finally the best gunner in GGO.
But I knew you would be someday...
Because you have a real strength no one else has.
Thanks.
Um...
Asada-san!
What?
You told me to wait, didn't you?
Shinkawa-kun?
You told me that if I waited, you'd be mine someday, right?
So... So I...
Wh-What's gotten into you?
I'll stay with you forever.
You don't have to rely on him.
I'll protect you forever, okay?
Sh-Shinkawa-kun—
Asada-san, I love you.
I love you, my Asada-san.
My Sinon!
S-Stop it!
No, Asada-san...
Don't you betray me, too.
Shinkawa-kun?
Shinkawa-kun...
Don't move.
If the stuff in this syringe gets inside you, your muscles stop working,
and your heart and lungs stop.
Syringe?
Some kind of drug... Maybe?
Yeah, my family runs a hospital.
I promised my dad I'd study medicine.
I have to do it.
Then you're... You're the other Death Gun?
Wow.
You found out Death Gun's secret, didn't you?
That's right.
I'm one of Death Gun's hands.
But until the last BoB,
I was controlling Sterben.
But today, I wanted to do the job in the real world.
I mean, I can't let any other man touch you...
Even if we are brothers.
B-Brothers?
The person who was in the SAO murder guild was your brother?
Don't worry. I won't let you be alone.
There's... There's still time.
You can start over!
You're going to cram school, right?
You want to be a doctor, right?
A doctor?
I don't care about that anymore!
My parents, the people at school...
They're all morons!
If I could have been the strongest in GGO,
that would've been enough for me.
But...
But that jackass Zexceed spread that lie about agility types being the strongest!
GGO was everything to me.
I sacrificed everything in real life for it! Damn it!
Is that... Is that why you killed him?
That's right.
Was there anyone better to be the sacrifice
proving that Death Gun was the strongest in GGO...
No, in all the VRMMOs?
I'm done with this stupid reality.
Come on, Asada-san... Let's go to the next one.
Sh-Shinkawa-kun...
We can be reborn in a world like GGO...
No, one more fantasy-like if you prefer.
We can be reborn there.
Be husband and wife, and live together!
We can have adventures together.
Have kids!
I'm sure it'll be so much fun!
Now, come with me, Asada-san...
Asada-san, you're so pretty.
So pretty...
My... My Asada-san...
I've always loved you.
Ever since I heard the story at school, about what happened to you!
I'm sure you're the only girl in Japan
who's killed a real bad guy with a real gun.
You're really amazing.
I told you that you have real power.
That's why I chose a Type 54 as the weapon
to create Death Gun's legend.
I admire you so much...
I love you. I love you...
More than anyone...
N-No...
I don't want to see anything anymore.
I don't want to feel anything anymore.
I'm sure this isn't reality.
Kirito...
You came to save me.
I'm sorry I wasted it...
After I log out, want me to go there?
If Kirito really does come, he'll be in danger.
But there's nothing I can do.
That isn't true.
We've always been focused on ourselves alone.
We've only fought for ourselves.
But...
It may be too late now,
but let's fight one last time, for someone else.
Come on, let's go!
Asada-san...
A-Asada-san!
Asada-san...
Asada-san! Asada-san!
Asada-san! Asada-san! Asada-san!
Run, Sinon!
Kirito...
