Story FAQ

 * Are Asuna and Kirito still dating?
 * Yes. They are a stable couple in the Phantom Bullet arc and beyond.
 * Does Asuna play GGO?
 * In the Phantom Bullet arc, she does not play GGO. She was planing to convert for the 5th BoB, but that's beyond the 4th main arc which is still ongoing.
 * Does that mean there won't be Asuna in the next season?
 * In the Phantom Bullet arc, she is only a secondary character. She makes several appearances and has a bit of an effect on the plot, but she does not get that much spotlight. However, if the new season comes with Mother's Rosario, prepare for an Asuna overload, as Kirito is taking the back seat in that story.
 * Will we see Kirito using guns in the episode?
 * Short answer: yes, but he still favours swords.
