Sword Art Offline 8 (そーどあーとおふらいん8) is the eighth 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 Leafa, with Alicia Rue and Sakuya as special guests in this episode.

News Headlines
Leafa reported that Kirito, who had been the topic of much debate, has died while attempting the Grand Quest and that soon after his attempt, he was discovered as a Remain Light.

Sword Art Trivia
Yui stated that the Demonic Sword Gram is a super-rare, unique weapon that can only be rivaled by the Excalibur. However, the location of the Excalibur has yet to be found.

Playback Corner
In this corner, Leafa commented on several scenes that appeared in eighth volume of the BD/DVD (Episodes 20-22) together with this week's specials guests, Sakuya and Alicia Rue.

They commented on:
 * 1) The scene during which Kirito defeated General Eugene (Episode 20).
 * 2) The scene during which Sakuya and Alicia Rue were seducing Kirito (Episode 20).
 * 3) The scene during which Kirito was fighting against the Guardian Knights. (Episode 22)

Sword Art Trivia
Yui stated that there are dungeon to the north, south, east and west of Alne and that each of their deepest areas are connected to Jötunheimr. Super strong evil-god-class monsters prowl Jötunheimr, and since light does not reach it, the flight ability of players cannot regenerate there. Thus, it is the game's field with the highest difficulty.

Slot Talk
This episode's topic is the "World Tree Assault Mini War Council". The conclusion made during the discussion was that all races should join together for the battle.
