Sword Art Offline Episode 02

Sword Art Offline 2 (そーどあーとおふらいん2) is the second 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 Asuna and Kirito, with Silica as the episode's special guest.

News Headlines
Asuna reported the existence of rumors that a solo player, the famous Black Swordsman, Mr. K, from the clearing group, has been stalking Silica, causing some of her fans to take action against him.

Sword Art Trivia
Yui explained that although there are no classes or jobs in Sword Art Online, with hard work, players may obtain skills that help them with specific tasks and can thus specialise in certain roles, like becoming Beast Tamers.

Playback Corner
In this corner, Asuna and Kirito commented on several scenes that appeared in the second volume of BD/DVD (episodes 3-5) together with the special guest, Silica.

They comment on:
 * 1) The scene where Kirito showed the Mirage Sphere that can display the map of an area to Silica (Episode 4)
 * 2) The scene where Kirito woke up under a tree and saw Asuna sleeping softly (Episode 5)
 * 3) The scene where Asuna woke up and found Kirito guarding her body (Episode 5)
 * 4) The scene where Silica was caught by a Mandrake (Episode 4)

Sword Art Trivia
Yui stated that items in a pouch can be used immediately, but those in a player's inventory need time to be called out, as they had been converted into data. Thus players usually put their healing items and Teleport Crystals in their pouch beforehand.

Klein's Life Counseling
In this episode, Klein replaced Kirito in the life counseling corner. This week Miss. S, who looked and sounded like Silica, asked how to let someone in the clearing group, who has been treating her as a sister, treat her as a girl. Asuna recommended Miss. S to directly express her feeling to the person.
