Sword Art Offline Episode 03

Sword Art Offline 3 (そーどあーとおふらいん3) is the third episode of the Sword Art Offline extra series that was bundled with limited edition version Blu-ray Discs and DVDs. This episode is anchored by Asuna and Kirito, with Lisbeth as the episode's special guest.

News Headlines
Asuna reported that a rare item, the Crystallite Ingot that is used for producing high-class weapons had been found.

Sword Art Trivia
Yui explained that the currency in Aincrad, Cor, is actually the short form of Coin of Radius, and Aincrad is actually the short form of An Incarnating Radius, which originated from Akihiko's feelings for the players and the world, though Yui said that the meaning behind "Coin of Radius" was not revealed in the novel.

Playback Corner
In this corner, Asuna and Kirito commented on several scenes that appeared in third volume of the BD/DVD (episodes 6-8) together with the special guest, Lisbeth.

They comment on:
 * 1) The scene where Asuna asked Kirito how would he feel if he had married someone and later discovered a hidden side of that person, which he did not know about, after the marriage. (Episode 6)
 * 2) The scene where Kirito broke Lisbeth's best sword sword in her shop. (Episode 7)
 * 3) The scene where Kirito tried to run up the wall in the nest of X'rphan the White Wyrm. (Episode 7)
 * 4) The scene where Asuna demanded for half of the Ragout Rabbit's Meat when Kirito asked her to cook it. (Episode 8)

Sword Art Trivia
Yui stated that although Aincrad is known for having no magic and no projectile weapons, like bows and arrows or guns, there is a system for using thrown weapons for hunting, like the Throwing Picks Kirito used to catch the Ragout Rabbit, as it is the only type of ranged weapon in the game.

Klein's Life Counseling
This week Miss L., who looked and sounded like Lisbeth, asked what she claimed to be "advice for a friend" about how girls could become sweeter. As Klein lacked any helpful advice, he asked for Asuna's opinion as a girl. Asuna quickly took over the counseling and advised Miss L. to modify her appearance by wearing cuter clothing and accessories, leaving Klein without a chance to share his opinion.
