Actually, I have been thinking for some time about this matter. I tried to figure out any strong argument against Asuna. Of course, I failed. Maybe those haters are haters just for the sake of hating - sounds stupid, but didn't know how to express that.

Since the beginning, the author showed Asuna as beautiful woman and strong minded person. Not another useless princecess that needs to be save every now and then. She can fight for her loved ones, as well as, for her own future. Mother's Rosario is a great example of that. Of course, she has also a lot feminity in her: great cooking skills, mother's love etc. And, obviously, her relationship with Kirito, how it evolved through the series and its future, is one of the best theme I ever encountered in any anime.

I find it pretty unfair of such haters, and even disrespecful towards the author, his work and effort. I understand that you don't have to be diehard fan, but that doesn't mean you can blindly deny each time author shows us his own expression of one true love, and, furthermore, write stupid comments or biased summaries that only confuse people, who want to just enjoy the series.

Fortunately, it is as you said. There are in the minority and KiriAsu on one of the most popular paring in the world, right now - In my opinion even in history of anime. So, yes, we can rather predict some sweet moments in upcocming volume, as the only enemy is our patience.

I am not sure I understood your second post, about next arc. First you write that "in the next arc probably Alice will disappear"  and then that the author want to show "us what Underworld has left to Kirito, Asuna, Alice ecc". And what do you mean "in their spirit and personality"?

Does "Craddle of the Moon" hapens during those 200 years that Kirito and Asuna were trapped in Underworld. If yes, then I also doubt it will have anything with next volume. I think Kawahara wants to write it as a kind of spin-off series.

PS. I don't know if anything written above by me has any sense. I just tried put into words my feelings and thought about KiriAsu shipping and those who hate it.
