Thank you for the help Gsimenas on the formatting, it is greatly appreciated.

While I do find the discussion interesting, I think any further debate is pretty much going to be interpretation. I think a lot of it comes down to whether or not you believe there is a massive spike in Kirito's fighting capabilities with a second sword. My view of some of the interactions have been changed based on what was discussed from the Light Novels, but I think there's a fundamental difference in how we are viewing a hypothetical fight.

As I discussed previously, you could say absolutely anything is possible. Maybe Yuuki is actually a decendant of Zoro and can triple-wield. However, until Yuuki dual-wields (or anyone else for that matter), that's not a legitimate counter-argument (in my opinion, of course). Until Yuuki's willpower is so great it can distort the virtual reality, that's not a legitimate counter-argument either. My main point here being that Kirito has better feats up to this point. In fact, Yuuki's only notable feats are her victories over Kirito in duels where he wasn't using his signature ability. I understand that it's possible Yuuki could be written to be 100x better on a whim if that's what was wanted, but if we're just going to go with "we'll never know" as our answer, no point in discussing it at all really.

Anyway, thanks for the talk guys. There were some thought-provoking ideas littered throughout even if no one changed their minds, keep it classy :)
