Let’s be honest, that’s what Naruto vs Pain attempted and I now appreciate it kinda more. It was a bit ahead of its time and needed more polish but they basically did the same thing
A few years ago when i first watched this OP i thoghut i could watch those two forever walking down this path at 1:15 and hell, its 2024 and im still thinking the same. Best SAO opening and arc in my opinion.
