Plot [edit]

In the year 2026, the Augma is released to the public as an alternative organisation to the AmuSphere, as it projects a game layer on summit of reality while the player is conscious, rather than using FullDive. The most prominent combat-based game is Ordinal Scale, in which a player'southward abilities are ranked by ordinal numbers.

Asuna, Lisbeth and Silica encourage Kirito to play Os upon hearing that Aincrad bosses accept appeared. Kirito joins Asuna and Klein in a dominate fight confronting Kagachi the Samurai Lord at Akihabara, where the game'south mascot, AI idol singer Yuna, appears and gives players vitrify furnishings as she sings. Kirito fails to achieve anything due to lack of real earth physical strength and agility. Eiji, the number-two ranked thespian, aids the group in defeating the boss. Before Asuna makes the killing accident, Eiji whispers the give-and-take "Switch," a game mechanic from SAO that she recognizes.

The next night, Asuna joins Klein and his group for some other boss fight at Yoyogi Park while waiting for their concluding group member, unaware that he was injured past Eiji the night earlier. Asuna leaves Klein and his guild behind and proceeds to the fight against the Storm Griffin, which is once more presided over by Yuna. Klein and his guild are surprised by the sudden appearance of a second dominate, Zanghi the Flame Caller, and shockingly supported by Eiji, who physically attacks and defeats Klein and his unabridged guild in the existent globe using superior reflexes and seemingly superhuman strength. When Asuna returns to where she left them, Klein and his gild are nowhere to be seen. The following morning, as Kirito practices with OS in Yoyogi Park, a girl he doesn't know appears in a white hood, mouths something wordlessly and points off into the altitude before disappearing. A confused Kirito is surprised by Asuna who has arrived to take lunch with him. While eating together, Asuna theorizes that Eiji was a former member of the Knights of the Blood Oath named Nautilus, while Yui deduces that the spawn locations of the Aincrad bosses line upwardly with the SAO dungeon maps. Noting the absence of Klein, Kirito tries to check up on him.

Asuna, Lisbeth and Silica join the boss fight against Strict Hermit at Yebisu Garden Place, where Yuna and Eiji appear again. At the same time, Agil contacts Kirito and tells him that Klein has been hospitalized with a broken arm; Kirito, alarmed, rushes to protect Asuna and their friends. During the boss battle, a second boss, Dorz'l the Chaos Drake, suddenly appears and fixates on Silica. Eiji blocks Silica's escape by pushing her into the path of a lethal dominate set on, and Asuna is defeated while protecting her; an orange orb materializes from Asuna and is rapidly collected by i of the Os drones. After the boxing, Asuna begins to suffer retention loss, and goes to the hospital for examination.

Afterwards the battle, Kirito is frustrated that Eiji did not evidence up, but meets the hooded girl a 3rd time, who repeats her actions from before. Kirito and Yui figure out that she is pointing towards Touto Technical Academy.

Kirito goes to the university and meets Professor Tetsuhiro Shigemura, who developed Augma. Shigemura refuses to reply any questions. Before leaving, Kirito notices on Shigemura'due south desk a film of a girl who resembles Yuna. Kirito talks to Seijirō Kikuoka, who informs him that Shigemura'south daughter, Yuna, died in SAO. Kirito warns Kikuoka that the memory loss may be affecting other SAO survivors playing OS. Visiting Asuna'south home, Kirito promises Asuna that he will get her memories back. While searching for clues, Kirito encounters the hooded girl however over again, who he confirms is Yuna. When she tells him his rank is besides low, Kirito decides to level up hardcore, recklessly chain-soloing as many bosses as he can, and improving his AR swordwork with assist from Leafa.

Days later, the Os players gather at the Tokyo National Stadium for Yuna's first live concert. In the lower levels, Kirito duels with Eiji, who claims he has a way to render Asuna'southward memories. After Kirito defeats him, Eiji reveals that Shigemura has been harvesting memories of SAO players in an attempt to reconstruct his lost daughter's soul and resurrect her as an AI; having SAO survivors full-bodied in 1 identify is the terminal stage of the programme and Eiji believes he has won. Kirito rushes back upstairs to warn everyone, calling Kikuoka on the way. Kikuoka warns Kirito that all the retentiveness harvesting drones scanning everyone at in one case could damage the players' brains, killing them like the NerveGear did in SAO.

As a horde of Aincrad bosses announced and terrorize the stadium, Kirito and Yuna bring together the battle. Yuna tells Kirito that the Augma has a hidden full-dive feature and he tin utilize it to defeat SAO's 100th floor boss to cease the scan and save everyone. Before diving, Kirito gives Asuna an engagement ring. Inbound the Ruby Palace of Floor 100, Kirito, Lisbeth, Silica, Agil, and Sinon face up the dominate. They are easily overwhelmed until Asuna, Leafa, Klein, and several other memorable players from ALO and GGO come to their aid. Yui restores their saved abilities from SAO, assuasive anybody to defeat the boss. The phonation of Akihiko Kayaba congratulates them on their victory and gives Kirito an extremely powerful sword as a advantage.

The group returns to the arena nonetheless in full-dive where Kirito, now OS's top-ranked actor, effortlessly dispatches the bosses with his new sword. Meanwhile, in the existent world, Kikuoka finds Shigemura in the abandoned server room of Argus (the defunct company that once ran SAO) and arrests him.

Later on, Kirito and Asuna fulfill the promise they made to each other in Aincrad, to watch a meteor shower together.
