if you were half as smart as you think you are Actually, I've read the works in question in the SAO analysis thread I posted. Have a good look at Asuna's name as it's rendered in kanji in that thread.

You mean to say presumptuous or pretentious; to presume or pretend to know something? Thus 'appearing smarter than you actually are'? That's usually the defense of a 'Real Angry Child' (aka Shinjii). Actually, 98% of the info in that post is objective and factual. I've already stated that I haven't read Egil's Saga or the prose/poetic eddas yet (but plan to), which nullifies your 'presumption' about what I have/have not read. However, I doubt Reki has either, and the references to Norse are rather sparse. Those others are not:

If you were so concerned, you would read the actual 'source materials', which are Faust, Midsummers, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Norse and Greek mythologies. Otherwise, your opinion is meaningless in these matters.
