Biography of Kazuto Kirigai-Kirito (Sword Art Online) Name: Kirito. Last name: Kazuto. Nickname in games: Kirito. Nickname: Black Swordsman, Beater, Chernysh. Age: 16 years old. Birthday: October 7th. Height: 175 cm. Weight: 59 kg. Family: Kirigaya's aunt Midori, Kirigaya's sister Suguha, in-game wife Asuna Yuki, in-game daughter Yui. Occupation: Student. Appearance: At the beginning of the game and during closed beta testing, Kirito's avatar had the appearance of a handsome young man who was several years older than the player himself. After using the “Mirror”, which Akihiko Kayaba gave to all players who fell into his trap, Kirito’s avatar takes on the appearance of the real Kirigaya Kazuto. Kirito has slightly long but neat black hair and black eyes. There is not even a drop of masculinity on his face, which is why people sometimes mistake him for a girl. Very quickly, Kirito gains popularity among Sword Art Online players and receives the nickname “Black Swordsman” because of his love for the color black in clothes. To use the "Two Swords" skill, Kirito always carries two blades with him - "Corrector" and "Darkness Crusher". After losing a duel at the hands of Heathcliff, Kirito begins to wear the white and red uniform of the Knights of the Blood guild. Since moving to Alfheim Online, Kirito's avatar has undergone a few changes. Instead of the usual black forelock hanging from his head, his hair took on the shape of “spikes”, a mischievous sparkle appeared in his eyes, and dark gray wings now adorned his back. Kirito's chosen race was the Spriggan, known for their preference for black in their equipment. He wielded the Great Iron Sword, which was intended for larger races such as the Imps. Sometimes he carries two blades with him, using the experience of battles from Sword Art Online. After returning from Gun Gale Online, Kirito's hair hangs back from his head, although the same sparkle remains in his eyes. He gets a new cape and switches to a new one-handed sword, reminiscent of the Enlightener from Sword Art Online. Personality: Kirito - kind person, which is simply often misunderstood. Despite the perception of him as a “beater,” he refuses to leave another player in the lurch. His desire to help people only strengthens after an event related to the Black Cats of the Full Moon guild. Additionally, he comforts those who are mentally down, such as Silica after she lost Pina. He claims he helped her because she reminded him of his younger sister. He felt guilty towards Suguha for, as he said, practically forcing her into kendo. These good deeds allow him to gain respect and sympathy from many girls. Kirito, unlike ordinary male heroes, is quite intelligent. In some scenes, it can be said that Kirito enjoys spicy food, as evidenced by the fact that he often eats spicy sandwiches made by Asuna, and in the world of Alfheim he buys "spicy sticks". Kirito - quite emotional person, and he sometimes lets his emotions take control. The incident involving Sachi and the Full Moon Black Cats haunted him until his marriage to Asuna. He flew into a wild rage when Heathcliff kills her too. This is a character trait that worries his friends a lot, as Kirito is a person who can let guilt ruin his life. He also tries to hide his unique skill "Dual Swords" so as not to attract too much attention. After returning from SAO, Kirito tries to mend his relationship with Suguha. This indicates his desire to correct his past mistakes and shows his maturity. Biography: Kirigaya Kazuto was born on October 7, 2008. His parents died in a car accident when he was one year old, and he was adopted by his aunt and uncle into the Kirigaya family. Under the tutelage of his grandfather, he initially worked with his cousin kendo. Due to the influence of his adoptive mother, who was the editor of a magazine about computer systems, Kazuto fell in love with computers and left kendo after two years. Kazuto has a talent for programming: he managed to assemble a robot from computer junk back in elementary school, at the age of ten, entered the register of the district hospital. Now he lives with his family foster parents, his aunt and uncle, although his uncle is often not around. He was raised as their son with his cousin Suguha. History: Kirito was one of the lucky 1000 people who took part in the closed beta test of the VRMMORPG “Sword Art Online”. He, along with other top players, managed to reach the eighth floor of Aincrad, after which the beta test ended. Shortly after entering the game for the first time (not counting the beta test), Kirito is stopped by an unfamiliar player named Klein. He asks Kirito to help him master the game. After several hours of training on boars and a heart-to-heart talk, the system forcibly teleported them to the Starting City, where they were supposed to hear an announcement from Akihiko Kayaba. He talks about how the lack of an “exit button” (which most players have already noticed) is a feature of his new game, and that forced removal of the neurohelmet or death in the game will lead to death for the player in reality. The only way to escape the game is to clear all 100 levels of Aincrad and defeat the final boss. Kirito immediately grabs Klein and intends to go to a nearby town, but upon learning that Klein has decided to stay with his friends, Kirito goes to another town alone. Aria in a Starless Night - One month has passed since the game launched, 2000 people have died, but the first floor has still not been cleared. Kirito, while fighting in a dungeon, meets a female player. She loses consciousness and Kirito carries her outside the dungeon. After being rescued, they return to the village. The next day, they both go to a meeting organized by the player Diabel. The main topic The meeting turned out to be the murder of the boss of the 1st floor, found by Diabel's team. During the analysis into squads, Kirito ends up in an incomplete squad E, where he finds out the name of the girl he met - Asuna. Their team is responsible for eliminating the monsters accompanying the boss. During the battle, Kirito recognizes Diabel as one of the beta testers. But in the battle, Diabel dies, causing everyone to panic. Kirito reorganizes all the units to attack the boss again. With the help of Asuna and Egil, he manages to defeat the boss and deliver the final blow, for which he receives a unique item as a reward - the “Cloak of Midnight.” After the battle, many, upset by the loss of Diabel, blame the beta testers for everything that happened. Kirito, realizing that regular players must come to an agreement with the beta testers, declares himself a "Beater". Thus, he concentrates all the anger directed at the beta testers on himself. Asuna and Egil were the only ones who understood his intentions. Rondo of the Transition Sword - A couple of days after the opening of the 2nd floor, Kirito comes to the city to strengthen his sword to +7. There he meets Asuna, and they become eyewitnesses to one event: the blacksmith failed 4 times while pumping up the weapon, which is why it disintegrated into polygons. As it turns out, Asuna also wants to strengthen her rapier, and Kirito decides to help her with collecting materials, during which a bet arises between them who can kill the most mobs. Asuna wins, and Kirito ends up buying her a cake, which can temporarily boost her luck. Deciding that the time has come to upgrade the rapier, they go to that same unlucky blacksmith (for there is no other). The upgrade attempt fails, and the rapier is scattered into landfills. After encouraging Asuna, Kirito follows the blacksmith and overhears part of his conversation with his friends, which makes him somewhat suspicious. Quickly returning to Asuna, he forces her to materialize all the objects, among which is that same broken rapier. Kirito tells Asuna what's going on, and they have the idea that the blacksmith is carrying out fraud with weapons. Kirito and Asuna decide to find out what's going on. Red Nosed Reindeer - Christmas Eve is approaching. All the NPCs start talking about legendary monster named "Nicholas the Apostate". The player who defeats him will receive treasures, which he carries on his back in a hefty bag. As a result, most players began looking for clues about the boss's future location, but no one had found anything yet. While preparing for a boss fight in the dungeon, Kirito meets Klein. A conversation breaks out between them. Kirito says that before he was not interested in rumors about the monster, since he simply did not need fame and money. But two weeks ago, he heard from an NPC some information about a unique item that drops from “Nicholas the Apostate” - the “Divine Stone of Soul Rebirth.” Klein offers to help Kirito in the boss fight, but he refuses. As they talk, Kirito remembers his time with Sachi and the Black Cats of the Full Moon. He remembers how it all began, how he hid his level in order to join their guild and help them reach higher levels. One day, Sachi ran away from the group and Kirito had to use his Pursuit skill to find her. He found her under the bridge and helped him forget the fear of death, and she helped him clear his conscience of lying to other members of the guild. A strong bond developed between them. But one day the guild decided to hunt for treasure in the dungeon, while Keita, the guild leader, was buying a house for their headquarters. The guild members ignored Kirito's advice and accidentally activated a trap, causing them to be surrounded by crowds of monsters. The room turned out to be anti-crystal territory, as a result no one was able to teleport. Kirito survived thanks to his relatively high level, but the rest died. He returned to the city and told Keita everything. The shock of the death of his comrades forced him to commit suicide. Before this, Keite said: “A beater like you had no right to join our guild.” Kirito managed to find the place where “Renegade Nicholas” was supposed to appear, but it turned out that he was found by the Furinkazan guild, and then by the Holy Dragon Alliance. Klein and his friends had to hold off another guild while Kirito fought the boss. At the end of a difficult battle, Kirito (according to him, he had never been so close to death) received the “Divine Soul Rebirth Stone”. However, to his surprise, this artifact could only revive a deceased player if the item was used in the period of time between the player's death and the disappearance of its light effect (approximately 10 seconds). Kirito gives the item to Klein and leaves back to the city. Klein finally tells him that he should not die, that he must win the game and save everyone. Already at the inn in his room, Kirito receives a Christmas gift from Sati: an audio message in which Sati says that he is unlikely to survive, and sings the Christmas song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." In the Forest of Wandering, Kirito rescues a girl named Silica from a group of Drunken Gorillas. He apologizes for not being able to save Pina, Silica's pet dragon, and says that the pet can be revived, and he will be happy to help. After a short conversation, Kirito gives some equipment to Silica and they return to the city on the 8th floor of Aincrad. The next day, they travel to the 47th floor to obtain the "Pneuma Flower", an item that can revive a fallen pet. On the way back, after Kirito and Silica picked the flower, they are ambushed by members of the orange guild "Hand of the Titan". They attack Kirito, but he defeats his opponents due to a banal difference in stats and level, so huge that almost all the guild members surrounding him dealt less damage in 10 seconds than Kirito recovered in the same time. After the victory, Kirito reveals the real reason of his journey with Silica. In fact, at the request of the leader of the destroyed Silver Banners guild, he was tracking down Rosalia and her guild. Kirito sends all members of the Titan's Hand to prison using a teleportation crystal. In the evening, before Pina's revival, Kirito and Silica promise to meet each other in real world. Safe-Zone Murder Case - There are restrictions in SAO that prevent you from killing anyone in the Safe-Zone. But there are two loopholes in this system. First, you can challenge your opponent and press his finger to confirm the challenge. The second is the ability to drag a sleeping player outside the safe zone and kill him there. But someone was able to bypass the rules and kill the player in the safe zone by piercing the “Thorn of Sin” blade. Kirito and Asuna begin to investigate how this happened and why. The investigation touches on the past of a long-forgotten guild, " golden apple", and the cause of death of its leader. While investigating, Kirito encounters the notorious red player PoH and two of his comrades, but manages to intimidate them with the approach of a group of pioneers. Warmth of the heart - Kirito comes to Lisbeth's shop, best friend Asuna. He wants her to make him a sword that can compete with his "Corrector". Lisbeth shows him her best one-handed blade, but Kirito breaks it during the test. Thus, Kirito and Lisbeth set off on a journey to obtain the “Crystal Ingot” - the material for a completely new sword, which will later be called the “Darkness Breaker”. The ingot turns out to be the “waste” of the ice dragon. Year second - From the beginning The game has been 2 years old. Kirito actively continues to fight on cutting edge, which in at the moment passes along the 74th floor. Returning from the dungeon, he managed to obtain a rare ingredient - “Stewed Rabbit Meat”, which was subsequently prepared by Asuna, whom he met at Egil’s, and who agreed to do it for half a portion. During a conversation at dinner, Asuna invites Kirito to join her for a while, and he agrees. The next day they meet at the 74th floor portal, but Asuna is followed by her guard, Kradil, who does not trust Kirito (due to the fact that he is a Beater) and does not want to let her go alone. Asuna protests, and Kirito stands up for her, causing a duel between him and Kradil, which Kirito wins by breaking his opponent's sword with the off-system skill "Weapon Killer". After this, Asuna and Kirito go to the dungeon, where they discover the boss's room, from where they escape in fear. Some time later, they meet Klein and his Furinkazan guild, and moments later the Army squad, which was heading to destroy the boss. Fearing for the squad that left alone, Kirito, Asuna and "Furinkazan" follow. There it turns out that the squad is on the verge of destruction due to the anti-crystal zone in the boss's room, and friends decide to help them. During the boss fight, Kirito realizes that if he doesn't do anything worthwhile, everyone will die. He decides to use the unique skill “Two Swords”, which he had hidden before, and with the help of which he defeats the boss, almost dying in the process. Additionally, during this fight, Kirito learned to overcome the delay with another off-system skill, allowing him to start the next sword skill from the end position of the previous one. When the survivors from the "Army" and "Furinkazan" leave, Asuna tells Kirito that she wants to take a leave of absence from the guild in order to still be in the party with him. Later, Heathcliff, the leader of the Knights of the Blood, after Asuna's request, calls Kirito to his place, where he offers him a condition: a duel with him, in which Kirito must use the "Two Swords". If he wins, then Asuna goes on vacation; if Heathcliff wins, then Kirito joins the Knights of the Blood. Kirito agrees. A duel takes place on the 75th floor. Despite an equal fight, Kirito loses, noticing the unexpected and physically impossible acceleration of Heathcliff's movements, after which he joins the guild. Soon, Kirito, along with two party members (including Kradil), goes for training in the desert of the 55th floor. There, during a halt, everyone is poisoned by Kradil, who turns out to be a member of the red guild “Laughing Coffin”. Kradil kills the first immobilized member of the group and takes on Kirito. Kirito's hit points reach the red zone, and it seems that death is imminent, but Asuna, who has been keeping an eye on Kirito, unexpectedly comes to the rescue. With her help, Kirito kills Kradil, losing his arm (which he later recovers). Immediately after this, Kirito unexpectedly confesses his love to Asuna. On the same day, Kirito spends the night at Asuna’s (yes, yes, at the same time, Asuna misunderstood the offer to sleep together, stripped down to her underwear, and when Kirito, out of surprise, begins to make excuses that this is just an offer to sleep under the same roof, he sends her away out of shame knocked him out) and invites her to get married, to which she agrees. In connection with the episode with Cradil, they temporarily leave the guild (Heathcliff lets them go), buy a house on the 22nd floor and move there. Girl of Morning Dew - Kirito and Asuna's honeymoon is in full swing. One day, Kirito tells stories about ghosts living on this floor and suggests they go check it out. While walking through the forest, they encounter a little girl lying in a faint. Surprisingly, it doesn't have a cursor. Kirito and Asuna mistake her for a lost player and take her to their home. The next day, when the girl wakes up, her name becomes known - Yui. In order to find either her parents or guardians, Kirito and Asuna, together with Yui, go to the Starting City. But no one there knows anything about the girl. While resting, Yuriel, a member of the "Army", comes to Kirito and Asuna and asks for help in freeing Sinker, the head of the "Army", from the dungeon, where Kibao lured him. Kirito and Asuna agree. When they find Sinker, they will be attacked by the dungeon boss, Doom Scythe. Neither Kirito nor Asuna are able to cope with him. Suddenly, Yui comes forward, calling on “Eraser” and destroying the boss. Before being destroyed, the Fatal Scythe tried to attack Yui, but the inscription “invulnerable object” that appeared clearly showed that this was impossible. It is later revealed that Yui is an emotional assistance program for the players. She broke down and lost her memory, which is why Kirito and Asuna found her on the 22nd floor. Due to the use of "Eraser", the Cardinal system wants to erase Yui. But she became too attached to Kirito and Asuna, so at the last moment Kirito manages, using the system access terminal located in the safe zone, to transform Yui into an object, a small teardrop, thus saving Yui and later copying her into the memory of the neural helmet. The end of Aincrad - Kirito meets a fisherman named Nishida, with whom he later goes to catch a huge monster living in one of the lakes on the 22nd floor. The capture is almost successful, but Asuna helps Kirito. In the evening of the same day, a message comes from Heathcliff, who asks for help in the battle with the boss of the 75th floor, since several people have already died. Kirito and Asuna return to the front lines. Later, the raid on the boss begins. But a terrible thing awaits there: not only does the room turn out to be an anti-crystal zone, it is also locked, and you cannot leave it. The fight with the boss was very heated (the boss killed everyone with one blow, and even though all the swordsmen were pioneers with the highest levels among all the players), but in the end, he was destroyed. The players are resting, but then Kirito unexpectedly attacks Heathcliff. But the blow does not reach the target: the inscription “Immortal object” is displayed. It turns out that Kirito had long suspected Heathcliff (the reason for this was Heathcliff's incredible speed in the battle with Kirito for joining the guild, which, as it turned out, was the support of the system) and, as a result, revealed his true identity - Akihiko Kayaba. He immobilizes all players and, in honor of this discovery, invites Kirito to fight, explaining that he is the future boss of the last level. If Kirito wins, the game will be considered completed. Kirito, despite the pleas of his friends, agrees. A fierce battle ensues, but Kirito is weaker and his Darkness Breaker breaks. It seemed that Kayaba's blow was inevitable, but Kirito was covered by Asuna, freed from paralysis, and then scattered into polygons in his arms. With his mind clouded by this, Kirito half-heartedly attacks Kayaba, but is hit in the stomach with a sword and his hit points drop to zero. And it seems that Kirito scatters into landfills, but immediately appears again, fighting the system, and hits Kayaba. "Sword Art Online" has finally been completed, a voice message about this is being heard throughout the game world. There he meets Asuna. They both believe that they are dead forever. Then Kayaba appears. After a short conversation, he declares Kirito and Asuna the winners of the game and disappears. Kirito exchanges real names with Asuna, after which a bright light fills everything... and Kirito opens his eyes in the hospital room. Despite almost complete absence With all his strength, he gets out of bed and wanders down the hospital corridor in search of Asuna. Fairy Dance. Kirito underwent rehabilitation and returned to his family. He is trying to improve his relationship with his sister, and it seems to be working. Seeing her practicing kendo, he even suggests sparring to test her strength. She agrees. During the duel, Kirito surprises her a lot, since he is the first to dodge almost all of her attacks using unusual combat. Suguha simply doesn't know that Kirito used the skills he spent 2 years training in Sword Art Online. Shortly after sparring, Kirito goes to the hospital to visit Asuna. After his awakening, Kirito learned that Asuna and 300 other players never woke up, so he visited her every few days. During this trip, Kirito meets Asuna's father, Yuki Shouzo, in Asuna's hospital room, as well as another person whom Shouzo introduces as Nobuyuki Sugou. After Shozo leaves, Sugou tells Kirito that he will marry Asuna in a week, which puts Kirito in a state of shock. He also says that nothing can be changed and Kirito needs to leave Asuna. Because of this event, Kirito spends the entire evening in depressed state, but Suguha consoles him and tells him not to give up. In the morning, Kirito comes to his senses and decides to follow his sister’s advice. Then he receives a message from Egil, in which it turns out to be a photo from the virtual world with Asuna depicted on it behind some kind of golden lattice. To deal with this, Kirito goes to Egil's cafe, Dicey Cafe. In response to Kirito's questions, Egil gives him a disk with the new VRMMO "Alfheim Online", and also tells him about the game itself and about the successor to the neural helmet - the amusphere. According to Egil, the photo with Asuna was taken in this game at the top of Yggdrasil - the Tree located in the center of the game. Kirito notices that the game's developer is RECTO Progress Inc, a company owned by Sugou, which makes him suspicious. Deciding to figure out what's going on here, Kirito goes to "Alfheim Online". In the game, Kirito chooses the Spriggan race, since it matches his theme ( black robe). In theory, Kirito should appear in the city of spriggans, but suddenly an incomprehensible bug happens, and he is thrown into some forest. There he discovers that he is abnormal high performance (such as in "Sword Art Online") and many skills and items (though they cannot be used, since they are not in the game's database, and Kirito has to delete them before "Cardinal", the error correction system, noticed this. Maybe even the “Instructor” was there, eh...). He also discovers "Yuya's Heart" among the things. When used, a miracle occurs and the girl appears in front of Kirito. A touching meeting takes place. Kirito explains what happened since their last meeting. According to Yuya, his abnormal characteristics are most likely due to the fact that Alfheim Online is based on the Sword Art Online servers. Soon Kirito meets a sylph named Leafa, whom he saves from three salamanders, destroying two with great speed, as a result of which the third got scared and ran away (of course, with the initial set of things, and only one hit per enemy). To repay him, Leafa invites him to a cafe in Sylvian and also gives him advice on how to fly better in the game. In Silviana, Leafa tells Kirito about the game itself. He asks about the World Tree and how you can get there (or rather, to its top). Lyfa is surprised by this, because the main quest of "Alfheim Online" is to get to the top (but Kirito doesn't know this), although no one has succeeded so far. Despite this, Kirito wants to do it and says that this is why he came to the game. He thanks Lyfa and wants to leave, but unexpectedly she offers to help him get to Yggdrasil. Kirito agrees. The next day, Kirito buys some equipment for himself. Before leaving, Kirito witnesses a quarrel between Leafa and Sigurd (the head of the party in which Leafa was), and also meets Leafa's friend Recon, who is clearly jealous of her for Kirito. Kirito and Leafa's flight goes well, and they safely reach the mountains. To get over them, you need to go through the Ruger corridor, which is what they do. Immediately Kirito learns about the use of magic in "Alfheim Online". In the hallway, Yui warns that the players are approaching. It turns out that Kirito and Leafa are being followed by a squad of salamanders. The friends rush to run, but Ruger himself blocks their path. Kirito attacks the salamanders who have caught up with them, but their competent formation does not allow him to break through. Despite Lyfa's support (she heals him), Kirito finds himself on the verge of losing. But at the peak moment, he uses illusion magic, which turns him into a huge monster, similar to "Fire-Eyes" from "Sword Art Online". This helps Kirito defeat the salamanders (he "ate" one, and when he told Leafa that it tasted like steak, he was knocked down by her). In the city, Kirito learns from Leafa (whom Rekon tells over the phone) that Sigurd has betrayed the sylphs. On his tip, a detachment of salamanders is sent to the Valley of the Butterflies in order to destroy the leaders of the Sylphs and Cait Sith, who have gathered there to conclude a treaty. Leafa wants to leave Kirito and, apologizing for this, tells him to continue on his way alone. But Kirito rejects this plan and says that he will help her. The two of them go to help the heads of the races. They make it in time at the last moment, when the salamanders are already about to attack. Kirito intervenes in this action and, in a conversation with the leader of the salamanders, General Eugene, tells him that he is a representative of the union of spriggans and undines and that he is here to conclude an agreement with the sylphs and cait shi, and if the salamanders intervene, this will mean that 4 class will fight with salamanders. But Eugene doesn’t believe Kirito, so he offers a fight: if Kirito holds out for 30 seconds, then Eugene will believe his words. But during the battle, it turns out that Eugene lied and just wants to kill Kirito. Only with the help of the second sword, which he took from Leafa, Kirito tough battle defeats Eugene (even how difficult it is, because Eugene is one of best fighters in the game world, and his sword can pass through other swords), splitting it in half. Having been resurrected with the help of magic, Eugene recognizes Kirito's strength and invites him to fight again sometime later. The salamanders leave. So Kirito meets Sakuya and Alicia and enlists their support in completing the quest in Yggdrasil (and they also openly pester him, as a result of which Leafa, unable to bear it, declares that he is only hers). Kirito and Leafa continue on their way. On the way to Arun, a city near Yggdrasil, they fall into a trap (they are eaten by a huge worm) and find themselves in Jotunheim (the underworld). There, Kirito's plan helps one of the "Evil Gods", who then becomes their friend (Kirito calls him Tonki). Tonki helps his friends get to the center of Jotunheim. There he is attacked by a detachment of undines, and Kirito and Leafa, in order to save Tonki, attack them. During the fight, Tonki evolves and defeats the Undine. Then, thanks to his grown wings, he takes Kirito and Lyfa to the exit from Jotunheim. During the flight, Kirito discovers the Excaliber, but decides to return for it later. Having escaped from Jotunheim, Kirito and Lyfa end up in Arun. The next day, while hiking in Arun, Yui detects Asuna's ID at the top of Yggdrasil. This spurs Kirito on, and he rushes to the top, but there turns out to be a barrier that does not let anyone through. Kirito is furious. At this moment, a card flies from above, thrown by Asuna, who wanted to give a sign that she was waiting (the card, by the way, turns out to be an administrator’s pass). After this, Kirito says goodbye to the clueless Leafa and rushes to the doors of the Main Quest. But to complete the quest, you need to defeat many guards, and Kirito fails and dies. Hanging in the air in the form of death fire, Kirito realizes that he overestimated his strength. Then, unexpectedly, Lyfa, who entered there, pulls him out of the quest room, after which she resurrects him. Kirito thanks him and, despite her protests, wants to do the quest again. Kirito is depressed by the inaction, he wants to see Asuna. These words shock Lyfa (she finally recognized him), and from the “brother” he said to her, Kirito understands that Lyfa is Suguha. After following his logged-out sister, Kirito learns that she loves him (not with sisterly love) and, trying to forget this feeling, fell in love with his character. Kirito apologizes to Suguha and, not knowing what else to say, says that he will wait for her in Aruna. After some time, she comes to the meeting place and, without allowing Kirito to speak, proposes a duel to sort everything out. But during the fight, they both throw their swords. Kirito asks Suguha to wait until Asuna returns to the real world, because only then will he become himself Level: 96 HP: 18500 Main equipment: ◦ Tempered Sword (Straight One-Handed Sword) - reward for completing the quest “The Medicinal Secret of the Forest” ◦ Queen's Sword (Straight one-handed sword) - quest reward from the Queen of the Dark Elves ◦ The Instructor (Straight one-handed sword) - dropped from the boss of the 50th floor of Aincrad ◦ Destroyer of Darkness (Straight one-handed sword) - forged by Lisbeth ◦ Black-snake cloak (Cloak made from the skin of the Black dragon created by a seamstress upper class Ashley especially for Kirito) ◦ Cloak of Midnight (Leather Coat) - dropped from the boss of the 1st floor of Aincrad Skill slots: 12 Skills taken: ◦ One-handed sword - 1000 “Master” ◦ Two swords (Unique skill) - 1000 “Master” ◦ Throwing - 967 ◦ Parrying - 1000 "Master" ◦ Combat Medicine - 944 ◦ Searching - 1000 "Master" ◦ Tracking - 963 ◦ Stealth - 1000 "Master" ◦ Night Vision - 908 ◦ Increased Weight Limit - 949 ◦ Sprinting - 870 ◦ Fishing - 604 Straight One-Handed Sword Skills Horizontal Square Instant Penetration Diagonal Slash Vertical Square Shearing Strike Weapon Break Deadly Sin Sonic Jump Snake Bite Sin Spike Slash Unarmed Skills Martial arts Instant Strike Meteor Rift Disappearance “Mastered” Dual Sword Skills Double Turn Rapid Starfall Eclipse ​Alfheim Online (ALO)HP: 400 MP: 800 New equipment: ◦ Great iron sword - purchased in the city of Sylvian.

The action takes place in the relatively near future, 2022, when the virtual world has become so high-quality and sophisticated that it has become almost impossible to distinguish it from the real one. You can get into parallel reality using a special NerveGear helmet, which simulates all human feelings and transfers them to the virtual world. In general, NerveGear is such a well-pumped Oculus Rift.


The first game based on helmet technology is Sword Master Online. The day it becomes available to everyone, more than 10 thousand players enter the server, and - surprise! - they discover that the exit button has disappeared from the menu. The only way to return to the real world, as the creator of the game explains, is to reach the 100th floor (level) and defeat the boss. Plus, a small detail to make the situation even sweeter: if you die in the game, you die in life.

Heroes

Kirito

The main character is Katsuto aka Kirito (nickname in the game). He is one of the beta testers, and accordingly, at the time of the public launch of Sword Art Online, the character Katsuto is several levels ahead of other players. Kirito is a swordsman (referring to the title of the series) and an eternal loner. Almost the entire game he keeps to himself, only occasionally joining guilds. Kirito is also a bit of a womanizer: almost every girl he meets during the game falls in love with him.

Kirito's lover and his partner. I logged into Sword Art Online by cheating (I stole my brother’s helmet), and after finding out that there was no way out of the game, I locked myself in a room in the Starting City, where the game begins, and thought about giving up. Later she gathered her courage and began to destroy mobs left and right, gaining levels at incredible speed. Deep down she is kind and sympathetic, despite her pride. And she cooks well.

Locations

The action takes place in Aincrad. There are 100 floors/levels. Each of them is different from the previous one. Everything here is in the best traditions of MMORPGs: mesmerizing landscapes, strange animals (which in fact are not cute at all and take away half of your HP when interacting with them), spectacular battles and that’s all.

Starting City, 1st floor

Hill of Memory, 47th floor

Salemburg, 61st floor

Parts

Part 1 - Sword Art Online (SAO)

Despite the fact that this is the name of the entire series, only the first event segment is dedicated to this game specifically. There are a lot of swords, unexpected plot twists, beautiful girls, swords, evil four-legged creatures, betrayal and... did we talk about swords? Incredibly many swords.

Part 2 - ALfheim Online (ALO)

This is the second game world that Katsuto enters. 300 SAO players are transferred to another game - ALO, which also does not release the heroes back into the real world (except at the cost of the character's death). Katsuto receives a screenshot from ALfheim, which shows a huge golden birdcage with a girl locked in it, looks too much like Asuna. Hero mode on: time to save the beauty.

But - ton-ton-ton! - Kirito has no advantages in the new game, here he is an ordinary beginner. At the time of his first dive into ALO, he has no idea how everything works here.

The world of ALfheim Online adds something completely new to the story and proves that the series will not keep squeezing out the same theme until it becomes completely boring. Just when things start to get boring, the creators will turn things around and throw in a ton of new characters, settings, and sword fights to keep the action fresh.

Kirito (キリトKirito) is the main protagonist of the light novel series Sword Art Online. He was selected as one of 1000 beta testers for the closed beta testing of the new game "Sword Art Online", the first VRMMORPG. Appearance Real world\Avatar Sword Art Online Kirito Avatar Kirito's appearance during beta testing At the beginning of the game and during closed beta testing, Kirito's avatar had the appearance of a handsome young man who was several years older than the player himself. After using the “Mirror”, which Akihiko Kayaba gave to all players who fell into his trap, Kirito’s avatar takes on the appearance of the real Kirigaya Kazuto. Kirito has slightly long but neat black hair and black eyes. There is not an iota of masculinity on his face, which is why people sometimes mistake him for a girl. Avatar of the "Black Swordsman" Very quickly, Kirito gains popularity among the players of "Sword Art Online" and receives the nickname "Black Swordsman" because of his love for the color black in clothes. To use the "Two Swords" skill, Kirito always carries two blades with him - "Corrector" and "Darkness Crusher". After losing a duel at the hands of Heathcliff, Kirito begins to wear the white and red uniform of the Knights of the Blood guild. In the real world, he has a preference for clothing in dark shades. Alfheim Online KiritoSprig Kirito playing the Spriggan race After moving to Alfheim Online, Kirito's avatar has undergone a few changes. Instead of the usual black forelock hanging from his head, his hair took on the shape of “spikes”, a mischievous sparkle appeared in his eyes, and dark gray wings now adorned his back. Kirito chose the Spriggans as his race, known for their preference for black in equipment. Kirito's ALO Avatar Kirito's Avatar in ALO (after transformation) He is armed with a "Great Iron Sword", which was intended for larger races such as "Imps". Sometimes he carries two blades with him, using the experience of battles from "Sword Art Online After returning from Gun Gale Online, Kirito's hair hangs back from his head, although he still has the same sparkle in his eyes. He receives a new cloak and switches to a new one-handed sword, reminiscent of the Intimidator from Sword Art Online. December 2025, he receives "Excaliber" and uses it for his skill Gun Gale Online KiritoGGO Kirito in GGOIn GGO, Kirito gets a very rare avatar "M9000", having black hair hanging down to his shoulders, pale skin, bright red lips. and shiny black eyes fringed with long eyelashes. The similarity of "M9000" to female avatars leads to a number of funny episodes. For example, Sinon, who thought Kirito was a girl, was not happy to learn the truth when she started changing clothes in front of Kirito in the girls' locker room. In Gun Gale Online, Kirito is armed with a 5.7mm FN Five Seven pistol and a Kagemitsu G4 photon sword. Personality According to Klein, Kirito is quite straightforward (possibly due to small quantity friends and reclusive lifestyle). Many people, such as Sinon and Lisbeth, even found him rude. Sometimes it seems that he likes to irritate and irritate people. However, Kirito is a kind person who is simply often misunderstood. Despite the perception of him as a “beater,” he refuses to leave another player in the lurch. His desire to help people only strengthens after an event related to the Black Cats of the Full Moon guild. Additionally, he comforts those who are mentally down, such as Silica after she lost Pina. He claims that he helped her because she reminded him of his little sister. He felt guilty towards Suguha for, as he said, practically forcing her into kendo. These good deeds allow him to gain respect and sympathy from many girls. Kirito, unlike ordinary male heroes, is quite intelligent. Kirito is quite an emotional person, and he sometimes lets his emotions get the better of him. The incident involving Sachi and the Full Moon Black Cats haunted him until his marriage to Asuna. He flew into a wild rage when Heathcliff kills her too. This is a character trait that worries his friends a lot, as Kirito is a person who can let guilt ruin his life. He also tries to hide his unique skill "Dual Swords" so as not to attract too much attention. After returning from SAO, Kirito tries to mend his relationship with Suguha. This indicates his desire to correct his past mistakes and shows his maturity. Biography Child Kirito Kirigaya discovers the truth about his parentsKirigaya Kazuto was born on October 7, 2008. His parents died in a car accident when he was one year old, and he was adopted by his aunt and uncle into the Kirigaya family. Under the tutelage of his grandfather, he initially trained with his cousin in kendo. Due to the influence of his adoptive mother, who was the editor of a computer systems magazine, Kazuto fell in love with computers and left kendo after two years. Kazuto has a talent for programming: he managed to assemble a robot from computer junk in elementary school, and at the age of ten he entered the register of the district hospital. He now lives with his foster parents, his aunt and uncle, although his uncle is often not around. He was raised as their son with his cousin Suguha. History of Sword Art Online (Closed Beta) Edit Kirito was one of the lucky 1000 people who took part in the closed beta test of the VRMMORPG "Sword Art Online". He, along with other top players, managed to reach the eighth floor of Aincrad, after which the beta test ended. Aincrad Reveal of player "s true appearance Real Kirito and Klein Soon after entering the game for the first time (not counting the beta test), Kirito is stopped by an unfamiliar player named Klein. He asks Kirito to help him master the game. After several hours of training on boars and conversation heart to heart, the system forcibly teleported them to the Starting City, where they were supposed to hear an announcement from Akihiko Kayaba. He talks about how the lack of an “exit button” (which most players have already noticed) is a feature of his new game, and that the forced withdrawal. the neurohelmet will be fatal for the player. Kirito ep 1 Kirito heads to the neighboring city The only way to get out of the game is to clear all 100 levels of Aincrad and defeat the final boss. Kirito immediately grabs Klein and intends to go to the neighboring city, but upon learning that Klein. Deciding to stay with his friends, Kirito goes to another city alone. First Day Edit Kirito spends his first day heading to a neighboring village. He decided to complete the quest to get new sword (which he learned about by taking part in a beta test). During this quest, he encounters another player, a beta tester named Koper, who invites Kirito to create a party and go through the quest together. Aria in a Starless Night One month has passed since the game launched, 2000 people have died, but the first floor has still not been cleared. Sobrabie A meeting of players on the 1st floor of Aincrad. Kirito, fighting in a dungeon, meets a girl player. She loses consciousness and Kirito carries her outside the dungeon. After being rescued, they return to the village. The next day, they both go to a meeting organized by the player Diabel. The main topic of the meeting was the murder of the boss of the 1st floor, found by Diabel's team. During the analysis into squads, Kirito ends up in an incomplete squad E, where he finds out the name of the girl he met - Asuna. Their team is responsible for eliminating the monsters accompanying the boss. During the battle, Kirito recognizes Diabel as one of the beta testers. But in the battle, Diabel dies, causing everyone to panic. Kirito reorganizes all the units to attack the boss again. With the help of Asuna and Egil, he manages to defeat the boss and deliver the final blow, for which he receives a unique item as a reward - “Cloak of Midnight.” Biter The birth of “Biter” After the battle, many, upset by the loss of Diabel, blame the beta testers for everything that happened. Kirito, realizing that regular players must come to an agreement with the beta testers, declares himself a "Beater". Thus, he concentrates all the anger directed at the beta testers on himself. Asuna and Egil were the only ones who understood his intentions. Rondo of the Transition Sword A couple of days after the opening of the 2nd floor, Kirito comes to the city to strengthen his sword to +7. There he meets Asuna, and they become eyewitnesses to one event: the blacksmith failed 4 times while pumping up the weapon, which is why it disintegrated into polygons. As it turns out, Asuna also wants to strengthen her rapier, and Kirito decides to help her with collecting materials, during which a bet arises between them who can kill the most mobs. Asuna wins, and Kirito ends up buying her a cake, which can temporarily boost her luck. Deciding that the time has come to upgrade the rapier, they go to that same unlucky blacksmith (for there is no other). The upgrade attempt fails, and the rapier is scattered into landfills. After encouraging Asuna, Kirito follows the blacksmith and overhears part of his conversation with his friends, which makes him somewhat suspicious. Quickly returning to Asuna, he forces her to materialize all the objects, among which is that same broken rapier. Kirito tells Asuna what's going on, and they have the idea that the blacksmith is carrying out fraud with weapons. Kirito and Asuna decide to find out what's going on. Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas Eve is approaching. All the NPCs start talking about a legendary monster called "Nicholas the Apostate". The player who defeats him will receive treasures, which he carries on his back in a hefty bag. As a result, most players began looking for clues about the boss's future location, but no one had found anything yet. While preparing for a boss fight in the dungeon, Kirito meets Klein. A conversation breaks out between them. Kirito says that before he was not interested in rumors about the monster, since he simply did not need fame and money. But two weeks ago, he heard from an NPC some information about a unique item that drops from “Nicholas the Apostate” - the “Divine Stone of Soul Rebirth.” Klein offers to help Kirito in the boss fight, but he refuses. Kirito and Sati Kirito with Sati under the bridge While talking, Kirito remembers the time spent with Sati and the Black Cats of the Full Moon. He remembers how it all began, how he hid his level in order to join their guild and help them reach higher levels. One day, Sachi ran away from the group and Kirito had to use his Pursuit skill to find her. He found her under the bridge and helped him forget the fear of death, and she helped him clear his conscience of lying to other members of the guild. A strong bond developed between them. But KiritoHS Kirito is trying to save Sachi One day, the guild decided to hunt for treasure in the dungeon, while Keita, the guild leader, was buying a house for their headquarters. The guild members ignored Kirito's advice and accidentally activated a trap, causing them to be surrounded by crowds of monsters. Kirito survived due to his relatively high level, but the others died. He returned to the city and told Keita everything. The shock of the death of his comrades forced him to commit suicide. Kirito managed to find the place where “Renegade Nicholas” was supposed to appear, but it turned out that he was found by the Furinkazan guild, and then by the Holy Dragon Alliance. Klein and his friends had to hold off another guild while Kirito fought the boss. At the end of a difficult battle, Kirito (according to him, he had never been so close to death) received the “Divine Soul Rebirth Stone”. KiritoNO Kirito near "Renegade Nicholas" However, to his surprise, this artifact could only revive a dead player if the item was used in the period of time between the death of the player and the disappearance of its lighting effect (approximately 10 seconds). Kirito gives the item to Klein and leaves back to the city. Klein finally tells him that he shouldn't die, that he should win the game and save everyone. Black swordsman Kirito threatening Rosalia Kirito arrests the leader of the orange guild In the “Forest of Wandering” Kirito saves a girl named Silica from a group of “Drunk Gorillas”. He apologizes for not being able to save Pina, Silica's pet dragon, and says that the pet can be revived, and he will be happy to help. After a short conversation, Kirito gives some equipment to Silica and they return to the city on the 8th floor of Aincrad. The next day, they travel to the 47th floor to obtain the "Pneuma Flower", an item that can revive a fallen pet. On the way back, after Kirito and Silica picked the flower, they are ambushed by members of the orange guild "Hand of the Titan". They attack Kirito, but he defeats his opponents with his skill. After the victory, Kirito reveals the true reason for his journey with Silica. In fact, at the request of the leader of the destroyed Silver Banners guild, he was tracking down Rosalia and her guild. Kirito sends all the members of the Titan's Hand to prison using a teleportation crystal. In the evening, before Pina's revival, Kirito and Silica promise to meet each other in the real world. Safe-Zone Murder Case There are restrictions in SAO that prevent you from killing anyone in the Safe-Zone. But there are two loopholes in this system. First, you can challenge your opponent and press his finger to confirm the challenge. The second is the ability to drag a sleeping player outside the safe zone and kill him there. But someone was able to bypass the rules and kill the player in the safe zone by piercing the “Thorn of Sin” blade. Kirito and Asuna begin to investigate how this happened and why. The investigation involves the past of a long-forgotten guild, the Golden Apple, and the cause of its leader's death. The warmth of Kirito's heart comes to the store to Lisbeth, Asuna's best friend. He wants her to make him a sword that can compete with his "Corrector". Lisbeth shows him her best one-handed blade, but Kirito breaks it during the test. Thus, Kirito and Lisbeth set off on a journey to obtain the “Crystal Ingot” - the material for a completely new sword, which will later be called the “Darkness Breaker”. Year two Edit 2 years have passed since the start of the game. Kirito actively continues to fight on the front line, which is currently passing through the 74th floor. Returning from the dungeon, he managed to obtain a rare ingredient - “Stewed Rabbit Meat”, which was subsequently prepared by Asuna, whom he met at Egil’s, and who agreed to do it for half a portion. During a conversation at dinner, Asuna invites Kirito to join her for a while, and he agrees. The next day they meet at the 74th floor portal, but Asuna is followed by her guard, Kradil, who does not trust Kirito (due to the fact that he is a Beater) and does not want to let her go alone. Asuna protests and Kirito stands up for her, causing a duel between him and Kradil, which Kirito wins. After this, Asuna and Kirito go to the dungeon, where they discover the boss's room, from where they run away in fear. Some time later, they meet Klein and his Furinkazan guild, and moments later the Army squad, which was heading to destroy the boss. Fearing for the squad that left alone, Kirito, Asuna and "Furinkazan" follow. There it turns out that the squad is on the verge of destruction due to the anti-crystal zone in the boss's room, and friends decide to help them. During the boss fight, Kirito realizes that if he doesn't do anything worthwhile, everyone will die. He decides to use the unique skill “Two Swords”, which he had hidden before, and with the help of which he defeats the boss, almost dying in the process. When the survivors from the "Army" and "Furinkazan" leave, Asuna tells Kirito that she wants to take a leave of absence from the guild in order to still be in the party with him. Later, Heathcliff, the leader of the Knights of the Blood, after Asuna's request, calls Kirito to his place, where he offers him a condition: a duel with him, in which Kirito must use the "Two Swords". If he wins, then Asuna goes on vacation; if Heathcliff wins, then Kirito joins the Knights of the Blood. Kirito agrees. A duel takes place on the 75th floor. Despite an equal fight, Kirito loses, after which he joins the guild. Soon, Kirito, along with several party members (including Kradil), goes for training in the desert of the 55th floor. There, during a halt, everyone is poisoned by Kradil, who turns out to be a member of the red guild “Laughing Coffin”. Kradil kills all members of the group except Kirito, whom he wants to mock. Kirito's hit points reach the red zone, and it seems that death is imminent, but Asuna, who has been keeping an eye on Kirito, unexpectedly comes to the rescue. With her help, Kirito kills Kradil. Because of this incident, Asuna wants to move away from Kirito forever, but he unexpectedly confesses his love to her. That same day, Kirito spends the night with Asuna (yes) and proposes marriage to her, to which she agrees. In connection with the episode with Cradil, they temporarily leave the guild (Heathcliff lets them go), buy a house on the 22nd floor and move there. Girl of the Morning DewEdit Kirito and Asuna's honeymoon is in full swing. One day, Kirito tells stories about ghosts living on this floor and suggests they go check it out. While walking through the forest, they encounter a little girl lying in a faint. Surprisingly, it doesn't have a cursor. Kirito and Asuna mistake her for a lost player and take her to their home. The next day, when the girl wakes up, her name becomes known - Yui. In order to find either her parents or guardians, Kirito and Asuna, together with Yui, go to the Starting City. But no one there knows anything about the girl. While resting, Yuriel, a member of the Army, comes to Kirito and Asuna and asks for help in freeing Sinker, the head of the Army, from the dungeon where Kibao imprisoned him. Kirito and Asuna agree. When they find Sinker, they will be attacked by the dungeon boss, Doom Scythe. Neither Kirito nor Asuna are able to cope with him. Suddenly, Yui comes forward, calling on “Eraser” and destroying the boss. It is later revealed that Yui is an emotional assistance program for the players. She broke down and lost her memory, which is why Kirito and Asuna found her on the 22nd floor. Due to the use of "Eraser", the Cardinal system wants to erase Yui. But she became too attached to Kirito and Asuna, so Kirito at the last moment manages to copy Yui into the memory of his neurohelmet. This way she can stay with him forever. The end of AincradEdit Two weeks have passed since the start of the honeymoon. Kirito meets a fisherman named Nishida, with whom he later goes to catch a huge monster living in one of the lakes on the 22nd floor. The capture is almost successful, but Asuna helps Kirito. In the evening of the same day, a message comes from Heathcliff, who asks for help in the battle with the boss of the 75th floor, since several people have already died. Kirito and Asuna return to the front lines. Later, the raid on the boss begins. But a terrible thing awaits there: not only does the room turn out to be an anti-crystal zone, it is also locked, and you cannot leave it. The boss fight was very hot, but in the end he was destroyed. The players are resting, but then Kirito unexpectedly attacks Heathcliff. But the blow does not reach the target: the inscription “Immortal object” is displayed. It turns out that Kirito had long suspected Heathcliff and eventually revealed his true identity - Akihiko Kayaba. He immobilizes all players and, in honor of this discovery, invites Kirito to fight. If Kirito wins, the game will be considered completed. Kirito, despite the pleas of his friends, agrees. A fierce battle ensues, but Kirito is weaker and his Darkness Breaker breaks. It seemed that Kayaba's blow was inevitable, but Kirito was covered by Asuna, freed from paralysis, and then scattered into polygons in his arms. With his mind clouded by this, Kirito attacks Kayaba, but is hit in the stomach with a sword and his hit points drop to zero. And it seems that Kirito scatters into landfills, but immediately appears again, fighting the system, and hits Kayaba. "Sword Art Online" is finally completed. A little later, Kirito comes to his senses on some platform in the sky above Aincrad, which is falling to pieces. There he meets Asuna. They both believe that they are dead forever. Then Kayaba appears. After a short conversation, he declares Kirito and Asuna the winners of the game and disappears. Kirito exchanges real names with Asuna, after which a bright light fills everything... and Kirito opens his eyes in the hospital room. Despite his almost complete lack of strength, he gets out of bed and wanders down the hospital corridor in search of Asuna.
