Whilst, the penultimate episode, "Mother's Rosario", orignially aired in December of 2014, it's awesome to see that people were still posting on this thread till late last year. I'll be honest had not shed a single tear of an anime before watching that episode recently. However, I'd like to state that I don't feel there was anything any of the characters in the story could pull off to save her. Whilst, Kazuto might be quite skillful with technology, in addition to having a bright future in mechatronics, he isn't a professional in healthcare - as after all (From my knowledge anyway) he's a young adult who is still attentding school. Because of this I just feel it is a tad far fetched to say that Kirito could have saved her. Another point is that the idea of copying someone consioussness, even in the technologically advanced world, in which SAO is set, likely still isn't possible. Being able to transport someones consciousness into a virtual world is one thing but trying to create a copy of Yuuki's is another thing all together. I see where you're coming from saying that prehaps she can live on as a hologram or as an projection of her in game avatar, but let it be known that if her physical self perishes then this concept wouldn't work. If the characters in the show possessed the technology to copy Yuuki's consciousness then she could live on and have a simillar life to that of Yui. Nevertheless, even this has it's ethical limitations as the copy of her consciousness technically isn't her anymore. I know that was a bit much but I just wanted to put an end to the arguement in the great year of 2018. Hey, 2022 isn't that far away. We can only hope to see the tech of SAO become a reality. Bye, for now guys.
