The wiki states that if a player kills another player, their cursor turns orange permanently. As I recall though, Kirito's cursor was green throughout the Aincrad Arc, even after taking two lives during the assault on the Laughing Coffin Hideout, and after killing Kuradeel later on. Is there an in-world explanation for this? Like a loophole or something that prevented his cursor turning orange despite killing?
