Why the hell isn't Kirito already using dual blades in SAO Alicization? So what's up
guys Foxen here! Let's tackle popular question that a lot of you have been
asking since the start of SAO Alicization which are simply why skidded
on not easing to ablaze and I think it's a very very fair question
since at this point Kirito is known for his trademark to a wielding by the way
do be sure to LIKE and subscribe for more choose the SAO videos it also
helped other Sao fans find these SAO videos anyway let's go and depth and
explain why Kirito is not the dual blade black swordsman anymore. First off let me just
ask you is there any reason you're expecting Kirito to use two blades at
this point? Kirito's first and final time using dual blades was all the way back
in SAO during the Aincrad Arc and I know what you're thinking. How about the
other times Kirito held two weapons so for this I could see the confusion let's
just go ahead and break this down arc by arc then we could get into the deep
story behind the dual blade less Kirito for SAO Alicization. Going back to the
original SAO in SAO season one recall that the dual blade unique skill
was given to Kirito one of only a handful of unique skills. This right here was
really the birth that that dual wielding blade in black swordsman and by the way Kirito
was able to recently dual wield in the SAO movie using the data from SAO. Next
up the Alfheim Online for this VR world they didn't even have SAO skills at the
beginning in season one. SAO sword Skills were later imported and implemented
although they intentionally and left out unique skills like the original SAO had
this of course including Kirito's dual blade skill but how about Kirito's
clever little trick here? You actually did see Kirito dual wield briefly after he
snatched Leafa's weapon. Keep in mind this wasn't Kirito using any sort
of system assist or sword skill. It was purely based on strength and his
experience from SAO. Next up let's move into season two starting with the GGO arc
obviously there is no dual blades in this game. Kirito even went full jedi
here. I mean players are barely able to even use a single blade as an option
next up back to Alfheim Online with the caliber and Mother's Rosario
arc. For this Kirito did get two nameless sword in the anime and eventually Kirito
got updated with Excalibur in mothers Rosario however keep in mind
that even though Kirito was using two swords
he was technically not using the dual blade skill. What Kiritp was using
in the fight was something he called "skill connect" not a dual blade
skill. What the simply meant for Kirito is that he couldn't use any dual
blade skills but instead to keep on chaining single sword skills one after
another. In the anime and he mentioned his max was 4 so again technically Kirito
was anything to swords but he was not actually using dual blade skills. Now
moving into the underworld from this you might be wondering why
doesn't Kirito just try to use skill connect in the underworld. Now this
question is getting into the heart of the true answer but setting aside
this alternative dual blade style what you're really wondering is why doesn't
Kirito use dual blades in the underworld? The actual dual blade skills.
For this there's multiple parts. To start off I'll turn to Alice this golden knight
mentioned the option of using two blades in the SAO light novel. According to her
experience she only ever saw slimy and noble attempt to use two swords
in combat. Alice claimed that actually using them effectively in battle was
impossible. She also added that two blades would prevent you from using sword
skills that had been passed down in the underworld since it wasn't a thing in
the Underworld and even if you ignore all of these facts just using two blades
wouldn't really give you any sort of advantage. In short is extremely
impractical in Underworld. Anyway now switching to Kirito in the season
three anime you actually have witnessed part of Kirito's own issue with
possibly using two blades. Back at the swords Academy you saw Kirito having
trouble using multi hit skills. Kirito was only if only able to use his
beloved four hit skill after getting his new night sky sword. Just moments later
you then saw Kirito wipeout when trying to use a five hit move which was
something he also couldn't even do with the Blue Rose sword so at least right
now there is this limitation in place for Kirito using these combo
moves. If he ever actually got a second blade and trying to use SAO dueling
skills besides the basic ones keep in mind that they're all high combo moves.
Since I'm talking about limitations in the underworld and for Kirito I'll go
ahead and address another one of your popular questions.
Why doesn't Kirito at least trying to dual wield using the Blue Rose sword? I think
this is totally fair. Let me just mention this. Kirito has actually tried
getting into the dual blade stands using the Blue Rose sword and his night
sky sword. Kirito was almost not even able to move while holding both of the
blades almost being crushed down simply by holding both of the divine swords.
Hey Kirito just says Alice she might be more capable!
This now they sent to the root issue you may be wondering so Kirito can't avoid
using those divine weapons why doesn't he just get swords more suitable so you
could go back to that Dual blade black swordsman? The answer it really comes
down to Kirito's mindset on the whole situation. The last time Kirito took
on this black swordsman persona was back in the original SAO. On present-day
Kirito really just wants to put that black swordsman identity behind him. It's
to the point that he's almost fearful and disgusted just thinking about having
to go back to that at one point. Kirito even thought that if he had to go back
to that black dual wielding swordsman he'd would rather just pass on it. Keep
in mind that at this point he did the has been recognized as his black
swordsman by everyone in other words this hero of SAO. This is partially what
has been fueling Kirito into going back to the various VR worlds which was
just to meet these expectations that everyone held him so high for. At the
same time Kirito that fell by doing so he was getting further and
further away from his true self. Since SAO ended he did always on this
black swordsman as a persona almost separate from himself. He didn't really feel
like this grand hero for clearing Sao but rather a Kirito felt the guilt of
all the people he failed to say back then in Sao. So going back to the
original question why doesn't Kirito dual blade in the underworld? Using
dual blades is actually pretty impractical in the Underworld. Even if he
ignored the restrictions in the underworld Kirito himself has no desire
to go back to that Dual Blade persona from SAO and I know at this point you might
be thinking oh there's not gonna be any dual blade usage by Kirito in the
underworld but actually there will be some dual blade action by Kirito in
SAO Alicization. A few times in fact although I'm just
thinking will that make fans happy? For all the fans have been so vocal about
Kirito not using two swords if you're really only waiting for that you're
gonna get your moment then gonna be complaining right the next episode. But
we'll see what happens anyway more important let me hear from you
question of the day how do you feel about the dual blade less Kirito? Are you
missing Kirito using two swords in the underworld? Do you want to see
dueling at some point? Or are you fine with single blade fights?
Does anyone just want Kirito to use another weapon at this point? Like a bow
or a tiny dagger maybe just get a freakin machete? Anyway if you enjoyed
