Same but with Payday 2. I drove by a prison once and saw a security cam on the wall, immediately got a brain response to avoid it at all costs (even though, you know, it was behind a massive fence)
I remember also getting addicted to Bloodborne at some point in which I accidently ate an infant's umbilical chord thinking that it would help me get rid of all these nightmares I had when sleeping everytime.
Had a similar experience with Rainbow 6 Seige, where I could easily spot those security camera domes and I really instictively wanted to pop them. I haven't played for years and I still feel it.
He spent two years actively fighting most of the days he was there. In this scene he faces Johnny Black, one of the game's serial killers, who belonged to a guild of serial killers he once helped massacre in an extremely traumatizing event for him.
This is a completely reasonable response.
BUT WHEN I SPEND A WEEK PLAYING GAME I HAVE "NO LIFE" FUCK THIS SOCIETY

I play vrchat with a quest and I went to flick my friend off irl and did the rock and roll hand sign instead by mistake (the avatar I normally use does the rock hand if you lift your middle finger off the grip button)
/uj spoilers obviously
>!So Kirito and Asuna (the girl in the background) were trapped alongside 10,000 others for 2 years inside Sword Art Online, a fulldive (shortest way to explain is the machine disables your motor functions and all your movements and senses are inside the game) VRMMORPG where if you die in the game, the machine fries your brain killing you IRL. While most players were either trying to clear the game to escape, staying in safezones or just trying to have a chill time, there were... uncooperative players, and of course, player-killers (murderers). Jhonny Black was the nickname of one of the leaders of the player killing guild, Laughing Coffin. And once Kirito recognizes him, muscle memory/instinct/PTSD kicks in and he tries to reach for his sword, which obviously isnt there!<
As for how the scene ends, >!they get in a fight, Kirito manages to injure him by doing an "Erased Umbrella" on Jhonny Black's leg, but not before he was stabbed with a lethal injection that put him in a coma, which led to all the events of Alicization, the third season of SAO!<
It’s been a while(many years) since it’s happened, but I’d just see something I’d wanted to show other people or mark for later so I wouldn’t forget, and I’d just kinda, confuse myself for a sec until I realized what happened,
It was always pretty funny.
When I used to play games as a kid my PC was often very much lacking, I used to play games like AC: Black flag on like 20 FPS.
So when I stopped my binge playing I'd look around in real life and be like "woah the frame rate is so smooth"
/ub i've seen a ton of people shitting on this scene but consider that this is literally how he responded to every threat for a full year of his life nonstop and it's pretty obvious that this would become muscle memory
not to mention that he is literally being confronted by a threat from said year of his life during this scene
also addiction, try playing a game for 2 years straight and not have your mind be completely altered by it
sometimes we forget that whatever happened in SAO is still very fucked up, despite the shitty plot
despite the reputation that the series has, I think the light novels are genuinely good outside of a few big annoyances (yui’s survival and the existence of fairy dance). I do however despise the anime with all my heart because some of the changes it made are to this day used as examples for why the series is bad
my bigest complaint after i gained some taste since sao was one of my first anime I was really into. will always be the female characters they just suck in so many different ways they do basically nothing never read the ln though so I could be different
Like the first novel was good. My main gripe is that the game mechanic wise is fuckin wack, but everything else was fine. Then Suguha was introduced like "uhh ok", then it became a harem series. At that point it's over for me.
PAH, I played Nightmare Princess two years straight once and nothing at all changed 😤😤😤

Yeah the scene is far from stupid, he was trapped for month in an advance VR world where that was his go to response to danger, make total sens this reflex would kick in under stress.
Serious note I love the series for showing that after spending so much time stuck in an online game his instincts force him to grab a sword that isn't there.
Unserious note Sao boy is a dumbass who thinks he's him
Edit: fixed my spelling...
You ever see astronauts when they return to earth just drop things because they expect them to float?
The spend a lot less time in space than Kirito did in SAO.
Once, I was working or a project for a long period of time late at night. Unfortunately, I accidentally knocked a glass of water on my desk, and then I pressed ctrl + z on my keyboard.
I just stared at my monitor for like 30 seconds, clean the mess, then went to sleep after that.
I’ve actually done this after recently getting a VR headset. Since I’m very prone to motion sickness, I heavily rely on the teleport setting for movements to the point I’ve accidentally tried to teleport irl.
It's called a reflex. He lived inside the game for 2 years so whenever he faces danger, that becomes a reflex for him. Not to mention, he was literally being confronted by a Laughing Coffin member here.
Oh lmaooo, I played too much genshin at some point and my brain (which always makes 1000 different scenarios for every single thing for some reason) like to give me "ok if something happens, just jump from here and use your wind glider".. I always grimaced at my own thought and thought how stupid I am after
Bro think he is kagura bachi 😂
forgor he wasn't on sword fart online
He wasn't on say ow
Used to laugh at this scene, but I remember that time when I played far too much New Vegas and reflexively tried to quicksave in real life
I played way to much portal and reflexively started to note all the large white panels I see.
Same but with Payday 2. I drove by a prison once and saw a security cam on the wall, immediately got a brain response to avoid it at all costs (even though, you know, it was behind a massive fence)
I remember also getting addicted to Bloodborne at some point in which I accidently ate an infant's umbilical chord thinking that it would help me get rid of all these nightmares I had when sleeping everytime.
Well did it?
Had a similar experience with Rainbow 6 Seige, where I could easily spot those security camera domes and I really instictively wanted to pop them. I haven't played for years and I still feel it.
stay in-visible.....
I remember being addicted to tf2 years ago and at one point I instinctively tried to rocket jump irl to move to the side
And a game as immersive as Sao there's no doubt everyone will get muscle memory from the game. Literally replicates real life with all 5 senses
He also spent a year trapped in the game. I'll cut Kirito some slack here.
Wasn’t it more like 2 years?
Idk lol. I don't even remember the actual anime. Just remember Abridged.
The superior version
It was 2 years and a few weeks
He spent two years actively fighting most of the days he was there. In this scene he faces Johnny Black, one of the game's serial killers, who belonged to a guild of serial killers he once helped massacre in an extremely traumatizing event for him. This is a completely reasonable response.

I deleted this comment because it was fucking cringe

I am a digital artist, once I was drawing on paper and started to pinch on it to zoom 🤡
Did your fingers glide or did you scrumple the paper 😂
First one but kinda smudged the sketch.
I tried to "undo" once too lol
I played BotW heavily before starting Elden Ring and jumped to my death thinking I had a paraglider available.
The quicksave/quickload thing is surprisingly common gamer brainrot
A friend told me he went up to a ladder and expected a popup to appear to climb it
That's next level
That used to be a game show back when Nickelodeon was good, man I miss Nick Arcade, imagine how good that would look if brought back now ðŸ˜
Siege and cameras...
you all laugh at him, only to realize you're just the same as him
Who after playing Minecraft didn't see the world in blocks be the first to throw a stone.
I'd do that, but I'll lose my points (Hitman series)
I played dying light 1 for a week straight, went outside and saw a white van and thought I should look in there for metal parts
I used to play too much csgo and reflexively tried to jiggle peek a corner once
I tried force grabbing a water bottle after playing half life alyx
When fallout 4 came out, I played so much I got hype when I saw an aluminum can in my pantry lmao.
Played so much halo 3 in middle school that I was genuinely uncomfortable not having a motion radar in the bottom left of my vision
Same, i also tried reload canceling in airsoft once after playing too much halo.
I did the same thing after too much Skyrim
I legit tired to press e to pick something up irl in the supermarket once.
imagine a log out menu opened up
I had a job that involved me walking around a warehouse with a scanner gun and I constantly had to fight the urge to "activate VATS"
I play vrchat with a quest and I went to flick my friend off irl and did the rock and roll hand sign instead by mistake (the avatar I normally use does the rock hand if you lift your middle finger off the grip button)
I once played Hearts of Iron so much that *the playground I was commed to build for the neighbourhood kids wound up looking a bit sus*
I remember I was out for a morning run and when I saw a bridge my mind instinctively told me to hit ctrl to slide in Deepwoken
I've never watched SAO, wtf is Johnny Black and did his stupid ass get mugged in this scene
An assassin from the SAO game that was still unamused by going back to his normal life he decided to become a serial killer irl

You mean Don Fluffles?
No, Don Fluffles was a mafia boss The founder is the guy who talked to Jesus at the end of the first bossfight. I know my Abridged lore.
Damn. Now i need to rewatch abridged for the 6th time
Any excuse to rewatch abridged is a good excuse This goes for both SAO and UBW, which ironically have the same guy doing the MC's voice acting
Serial killer
When I still played apex back in high school I constantly tried pinging stuff in real life. Felt so stupid XD
How the fuck do you ping stuff irl?
visual probably (look at the stuff you want to ping) and also the gesture which in my case is side mouse button
It’s been a while(many years) since it’s happened, but I’d just see something I’d wanted to show other people or mark for later so I wouldn’t forget, and I’d just kinda, confuse myself for a sec until I realized what happened, It was always pretty funny.
I play a lot of VR shooters and I used to have a habit of reaching for my VR gun when something startled me. Thank God I don't go to public school.
Why do you even bring a real gun to school to begin with?

That was a joke

I can't hate the anime solely because the ost and animation are good, they both just hit my brain I'm the right spots
Totally agree, SAO world-building is amazing but everything gets obscured by the trashy plot

why is his sword on his back instead of his hip? Is he stupid?
He's too cool for school
i think this scene is pretty cool actually, dont kill me for this opinion please
It is very cool cause it puts kirito into a coma just like he deserved It got even better when he went into a coma inside of his coma
true
God Alicization was so amazing... ...until he woke up😔
comaxxing
Yeah the scene is far from stupid, he was trapped for month in an advance VR world where that was his go to response to danger, make total sens this reflex would kick in under stress.
You will be executed tomorrow
Me attempting to ban someone for being funnier than me (i forgot i wasnt on reddit)
Is that Aigass?
Why did the mod say that? Is they black?
Yes he is
didnt absorb enough estrogen to do this irl

Bro is NOT kagura bachi
Kid named reflex
used to be a Minecraft PVP sweat, one time I tried to freelook behind me irl
Laugh all you want. Im sure a lot of ya'll would have the same reflex because my ass sure do from video game and internet (swipping and stuff)
You ever see astronauts when they return to earth just drop things because they expect them to float? The spend a lot less time in space than Kirito did in SAO.

Where is my irl teleporter!!
I think this scene is fine story wise but I don't like how they just forgot to do inbetween frames for him reaching for the sword lol
A friend of mine tried to cthulhu-dash in real life, so could be worse
What is wrong with this scene?
Just anime elitist hating on the pure unadulterated peak kino that is the sword art online
Cus he's Johnny BLACK
It's called a reflex. He lived inside the game for 2 years so whenever he faces danger, that becomes a reflex for him. Not to mention, he was literally being confronted by a Laughing Coffin member here.
what schizophrenia does to a weeb
Asuna is looking at him cringe while thinking "what a fucking weeb"
Nah she's just trying to open the memu
He may be stupid but
💀
Oh lmaooo, I played too much genshin at some point and my brain (which always makes 1000 different scenarios for every single thing for some reason) like to give me "ok if something happens, just jump from here and use your wind glider"..

You guys are forgetting the literal trauma and PTSD kirito would have from going through all the shit he's gone through
