Sword Art Online: Extra Edition

Set a couple of years after the Sword Art Online incident, Kazuto “Kirito” Kirigaya reunites with his sister Suguha and friends Asuna Yuuki, Rika “Lisbeth” Shinozaki, and Keiko “Silica” Ayano at the SAO Survivor School. While the girls head to the pool for a swim, Kirito is called away for what’s presented as urgent counseling.

The session is soon revealed to be a deliberate setup by Seijirou Kikuoka, who wants Kirito to revisit the events of Sword Art Online in order to better understand Akihiko Kayaba’s motives. As the day splits between lighthearted downtime and probing questions about the past, both sides find their own challenges waiting.
