the pink devil is born in the newest SAO series! So what's up guys Foxen here!
Episode 2 for the SAO GGO spin-off is out and once again there is just a ton
to love here so let's dive into this. In this episode you got quite a few days
starting with July 2025. In the SAO timeline this is the same month when the
SAO extra episode took place. As for Llenn's origin story this episode
Llenn's real name is Karen. At the start you find out that it's been
three months since she moved over to Tokyo from Hokkaido. At that time it was
to attend a woman's university. So yes Llenn or Karen is actually a university
student. She's not someone that's five or ten years old like some of you thought
from the first episode. In fact she's older than kirito and asuna. Two whole
years older than Kirito. As for Llenn's big problem it turns out that it's this
insecurity about her height and I do think the anime could have done a little
better job at explaining this. They didn't give her height in the anime but
bran is actually 183 centimeters which is 6 feet tall. Since I am living in
Japan let me put that into perspective I'm basically the same height as her
which means that I'm taller than at least 95% of all more Japanese guys and
definitely taller than 99.9% of Japanese females. Just a rough guesstimate the
average Japanese female might be around in five feet tall so with that in mind
Llenn is freaking huge. She would stand out so much. The problems she was having of
her hitting her head on stuff that's actually pretty common if you're not
Japanese sized. Now this just makes total sense of why she had such a small
cute character in GGO. Next up another time jump or date you got August 2025 in
Hokkaido. By this point this was when the first bullet a bullet tournament took
place and no this wasn't the one that Kirito and Sinon joined. They joined
the third one. Also what do we have here a Digimon reference? Let me know if you
actually spotted this episode. They got Digimon Story cyber sleuth in the
background. Also just a little bit of a reference to the first SAO season you
got a short view of Alfheim online from a different point of view and not to
mention a different studio. It looked like Llenn picked the same fairy class as Leafa.
Unfortunately she ended up being a very tall elf too.
It was also nice to see some of these other games and yeah I said insecurity
but it seems to be a lot more severe. Man this girl was basically getting a mini
heart attack on each game but what do you know on the thirty seventh try
GGO turned out to be a success! So now you know she actually ended up here
totally by chance. I gotta give it to her 37th try that's some dedication.
Oh and that fun tutorial scene at the start, she didn't know what type of game
this was. She had no idea what she got herself into and just for a moment that
instructor made it seem like it was this fifty shades of gray type of online game.
Either way this eventually shows you Llenn deciding on a submachine gun. Next up a
new date September 2025. Nothing were really to notable here except this was
the day where Sinon got her upgraded sniper. Let's also not forget we now find
out why Llenn's chose pink. How to make yourself even more cute? Pretty easy! Llenn
is now full not pink but PANK and yes it's like some of you pointed out last
time it turns out that this color is an actual real cameo color which comes in
pretty handy in this pink desert. By the way some more promotion.
Did anyone notice the Sony headphone promo in the desert? Sony does have a
stake in SAO after all! In this episode he also got a reference to some
of the GGO mechanics. You saw this included the laser guns and laser gun
protection shields. I just thought that was a pretty nice touch and then for the
actual PvP Llenn is really kicking some ass with that cameo and speed. Just
notice her first try she wasn't even using a physical bullet gun and then it
just seemed like she enjoyed killing people left and right. I guess every good
at it why not continue? It got to the point where she got the nickname the
pink devil. I just wonder how much loot that she get from all of this PKing. Of
course eventually someone else was gonna take notice.
You got the new character Pito introduced which is that other a taller
chick in the opening. So far seems like she's a total mystery in this game
although she got super friendly with the Llenn quickly. Watch she's gonna be the
small little Japanese girl in real life. By the way at least Llenn got to confirm
that she's actually a female from the friend request.
The only possible hint for Pito here is that she might be this rich
person in real life. Llenn mentions how she changes
guns everyday. If I recall these guns are super pricey so you'd be spending a lot
of real-life currency to get a bunch of them. Anyway for the final date in this
episode you have January 2026. This was around the same month when
Asuna defeated the boss with Yuuki. You also got Llenn officially entered the Jam
squad tournament at the end of January. By the way last time I mentioned the
cosplayers here in Japan promoting the anime so here's a picture of them. It
includes all three of them. You got the taller one beat girl that
just a debuted this episode and then the other blonde loli that's coming soon. As
for the length of this whole series since the last review I mean it has been
officially confirmed that it's gonna be 12 episodes however I could see this
getting a season 2 if it's popular. Llenn herself is super marketable since
she's so cute then you also got the other blonde little girl coming in soon
which really just means they're super marketable for a bunch of merchandise. I
know I know what you're thinking just to be clear I don't mean in the creepy way.
Cute anime stuff is super popular for females especially for some of the
smaller stuff like bags keychains notebooks buttons pens you name it!
But anyway more important let me hear from you question of the day, What do you
think of Llenn's backstory? Did you like what was pretty much her origin story?
The reason that she's an adorable little girl in all pink? And what did you
think of Pito's character? Did she seem a little too friendly? And by the way if
