In that case, apologies.

Perhaps he didn't use the Neuro Linker to access it. Kirito has accessed Brain Burst before in a story that may or may not be canon. The whole point of Graphite Edge's character is nothing is known about him and being surrounded in mystery, so he's basically walking fanfiction bait.

Putting aside how it will be justified. The hints dropped in AWvsSAO are way too personal to simply be Kirito's son. Kirito mentioned Graphite's swords, his fighting style, his fashion sense, and his speaking patterns being familiar. Of course all this is non-canon, but I'm positive that the intention was to bait fans with the possibility Graphite Edge is Kirito.
