 * The events of the entirety of Chapter 3 were glossed over in a short montage.
 * Because of this, Charlotte was not introduced.
 * The scene where Kirito and Eugeo encounter Sortiliena while walking through the streets of Centoria was anime original content.
 * The scene where Sortiliena told Kirito of the history of her Serlut Style and why she chose him as her Valet, after their sparring match, was omitted.
 * In the Light Novel, the scene of Kirito retrieving the top branch of the Gigas Cedar took place before he and Eugeo left Rulid Village, instead of in a flashback.
 * In the Light Novel, when Kirito successfully swung his new sword, it caused a shockwave that accidentally cut a shield that hung on the wall in two.
 * Because of this, the scene where he was afraid Sadore would demand compensation was omitted.
 * The scene where Sadore tells Kirito to think of a proper name for the sword was omitted.
 * The scene where Kirito registers the sword with Azurika to allow him to keep it at the dorms was omitted.
 * Because of this, the scene where Azurika asks Kirito about the sword's memory was also omitted.
 * Details regarding Kirito not being allowed to practice due to it being Rest Day, to explain why he tested his sword in a remote clearing, were omitted.
 * Because of this, the mention of Uolo Levanteinn also wanting to practice in secret was also omitted.

Errors

 * The date for the events starting with Kirito's match against Sortiliena was incorrectly shown to take place one day later than they did in the novel.
