Sword Art Online II Episode 08

Bullet of Bullets (バレット・オブ・バレッツ) is the eighth episode of the Sword Art Online II anime adaptation, as well as the eighth episode in the Phantom Bullet Arc. It aired on August 23, 2014.

Plot
After much persistence, Kirito was able to convince Sinon to tell him the details of the Bullet of Bullets (BoB) royale. After the explanation, Kirito stopped Sinon from leaving and then asked her whether there were BoB participants that she did not know about and found out that, aside from him, there were three other players who had not participated in the former tournaments. Later on, during the tournament, after sniping Shishigane, Sinon moved to a safe place where she checked on the satellite scan. She noticed that the closest players, aside from Lion King Richie, were Dyne and Pale Rider, thus she decided to target them. Having found a sniping position on the west side of the bridge that Dyne had crossed, she was preparing to take action, but then heard a noise and realised that someone had closed in on her from behind as well. When she tried to draw her side arm, she was stopped by the player, who was revealed to be Kirito. He then asked Sinon to not take any action and just watch Dyne and Pale Rider's battle. After Pale Rider defeated Dyne, he was shot with a silent stun bullet and, after several moments, the shooter, Death Gun came from the bridge. As Death Gun prepared to fire, Kirito yelled at a confused Sinon to shoot the cloaked man.
