3. Even if Kirito was 10+ levels higher then the expected level it doesn't mean he was far stronger then what was needed to beat Gleam eyes. In fact Kirito almost lost,  with  Duel Wield. That boss was apparently made for several players to take it on at once.

Although that is true, Gleam Eyes was the 75th Floor Boss, so as Kirito explains in Aincrad Vol.1 LN, the quarter Floor Boss Rooms are the hardest Boss Rooms to conquer, ie. 15th, 50th 75th and 100th (even though Kirito didn't reach the 100th Floor, he says in episode 14: The End of the World, and I quote "So the strongest player in the whole game ends up being the final boss..."), and so proves that the 100th Floor would have been the same as the other quater Boss Rooms. So my point is that the later Floor Boss Rooms might not have been as hard as the Gleam Eyes battle.

Also just a side question, does anyone know what level and stat points the Grim Reaper mob had, the one that appers in episode 12?
