Sword Art Online II Episode 06

Showdown in the Wilderness (曠野の決闘) is the sixth episode of the Sword Art Online II anime adaptation, as well as the sixth episode in the Phantom Bullet Arc. It aired on August 9, 2014.

Plot
After his encounter with Death Gun, Kirito realised that Death Gun was a member of Laughing Coffin in Sword Art Online. After Death Gun took his leave, Kirito recalled the events of the crusade against Laughing Coffin in Sword Art Online. During the crusade, the clearers were ambushed by members of the Laughing Coffin and a massacre ensued. As the clearers hesitated killing the red players, several clearers died, causing Kirito to kill Laughing Coffin members in anger. By the end of the crusade, 21 members of Laughing Coffin were killed, while two of those were killed by Kirito himself. Kirito's thoughts were then interrupted by Sinon who remarked that he looked awful and wondered if he would be able to reach the finals at that rate. After seeking comfort in Sinon's hand, Kirito was teleported to his next match during which he regained his fighting spirit. Some time later, after defeating Stinger, Sinon was teleported to the block finals where she would face Kirito. To her surprise, Kirito did not even try to win the battle, greatly angering Sinon. Realising this, Kirito offered to have a duel to settle the match. By predicting where Sinon would shoot via following her eyes, Kirito managed to get close and forced Sinon to resign.
