@anon SAO itself without the VR aspect would be pretty much generic and I'm pretty sure it was based on some other publications or games, so, as long as you change the names, you can't really get sued for it.

@Wraiyf I do recall that Rinko left to America after her case was cleared and didn't return until Alicization. It's highly unlikely that she would be the mysterious person, unless the special episode takes place before the end of Fairy Dance.
