'''Q1: Are Asuna and Kirito no longer a couple in Sword Art Online II? Their romantic relationship felt more like a casual friendship and we don't see them kiss!'''

''A: The first episode shows them being on a date, the second one shows them spending their time together while the others are fighting (with the girls commenting that they act lovey-dovey at school too). Heck, the guy even has Asuna's birthday and the initial of her name on his bike. The Phantom Bullet arc may not be focusing on their relationship as much as in the previous arcs, but that doesn't mean that it's not present at all. Kissing and other forms of public displays of affection are not a common thing in Japanese culture and it's not like every couple needs to kiss every single day to signify their romantic relationship. Some couples are pleased with just enjoying each other's presence.''

Q2: Do Asuna and Kirito break up at some point?

A:Kazuto and Asuna are still couple in real life as of the latest light novel volume, and as the author seems to believe in true love, there isn't much chance that their relationship will ever be broken.

Q3: Do Asuna and Kirito get married in real life?

''A: As of the latest novel, not yet. And technically, they're not old enough to get married anyway.''
