SAO Abridged Parody: Episode 07

@@brendan64102 and now it is said to be handed down from player to player in the guild of Pig Slayers

@@thetealemerald One day, a new member shall join the guild: Mardoza II, son of Mardoza, Guardian of the Pebble, and he shall take up his father’s legacy once more.

Actually the true meaning is that he asked for the best sword not the best weapon the mythril pebble is still stronger than the piece of shit but it's not a sword. In conclusion she made him the best sword but he still has the best weapon.

@@guy.animations2935 You seem to NOT know how trauma works. Especially when the traumatic experience involves teenagers. Sorry but the original never even cared about Sachi visibly after like 2 episodes. No permanent emotional scars, no nothing. I am rewatching this thing for the third time now and I enjoy the characters much more. I did kind of love the perfect love of the original but let's be honest. Perfect gets booring and these people are gamers trapped in a death game who have experienced hell. They can't be perfect after what they've been through and that is why this "parody" is a better show than the original.

@@teddykazandjiev I can't entirely disagree but I do think people judge the original too harshly. Seriously, it's like the face of bad anime and it's *far* from the worst I've ever seen. I've watched multiple seasons of SAO (which I do think arguably gets worse with each subsequent season) while there are some anime I've dropped after a single episode (and, as far as anime goes, I'll even settle for the low-hanging fruit, garden-variety "pervy humor and nothing else of note" stuff as long as it elicits the occasional juvenile snicker). Like, this is good, but it's still a *parody* with the benefit of *hindsight* . Not saying SAO is particularly well-written (it notoriously isn't) but there's something innately silly about making this asertation about how this series handles trauma so much better than the original...as the protagonist makes similar sarcastic and asinine jokes at everyone's expense at every available opportunity and said trauma is sparsely acknowledged and, at times, played for comedic effect. Don't get me wrong, this is a parody and should do that sort of thing, but that's the thing. This is a parody and, thus, is primarily meant to be funny. The original wasn't. And a *big* part of why Kirito's character works here the way he does is because of the comedic approach. They couldn't have done this in the original. I like SAO (those first 12 episodes anyway) for what it is, even acknowledging the flaws. While this is entertaining and arguably as good (if not better) it doesn't quite scratch the same itch given it's parody nature. Frankly, I'd like SAO to be placed in the hands of a competent writer, rebooted, and have the entirety of the series take place in SAO with the ultimate goal of the series being to beat the game and escape. Even if that's not how it went in the light novels, I have no idea why you wouldn't go that route in animation. I know that a lot of anime fans are adamantly against straying from the source material but with a property like SAO? With the story potential that *could* be mined from that first arc? Why the hell wouldn't you? You could milk that for all it's worth.

@@__________1175 Nah, this parody is far more well-written and with more developed characters then the original. Most characters is the first season are pointless and without personality besides falling in love with Kirito or being a suport characters, while this parody make the side characters personalitys and actions have consequences in the story.

Would have been hilarious if you could hear him counting during the intro or through the captions.

Yes but unfortunately they completely missed the opportunity for "PERFECT!" right at the end of Liz's crafting

Your right he does care…. About gettting a good sword.

I guess. He is pretty apathetic. Obviously he’d need a master blacksmith for the best sword in the game. But he nagged Liz as if he was her dad… sorta.

Hes already got the PTSD from Sachi, he doesnt want any more

@@kharnthebetrayer8251 actually I’m not entirely sure he’d care if some strangers or enimies died. He built what I think is a bond with Sachi. If it were someone else who he didn’t care much about, like rosalia, he’d probably throw her into the dragon’s mouth

I fucking love this quote

FanNotANerd And it’s not even the worse, so many girls in fantasy manga and anime die each year because their world didn’t master the art of making complete pant armor for girls. And let’s not even talk about those that didn’t understand armor is best when it’s in front of the chest, rather than literally everywhere around it, truly it’s a tragedy, how could we help them :’(

That is probably a literal quote from a Germanic guide for the first roman expeditions into the north (The romans wore togas and tunics and called pants "barbaric" when they first encountered the Germanic peoples.... they later started wearing them when winter hit

Moments like this are why I prefer this to the actual show

PTSD Is heartwarming?

No, it’s called readers and viewers like it when characters have the spicy trauma. It makes the characters feel more realistic or relatable in some ways. However it should be noted that too much trauma or tragic backstory will eventually feel forced, or the writer is just using the character as a punching bag. It’s a balancing act, and difficult to do in a convincing manner.

@@aresthecrazy9335 I see

As heartwarming as trauma gets. Not gonna lie, could've been phrased a little better lol. It was a good touch though. Makes the characters, actually feel like characters.

@@nonexist7386 PTSD causes spikes of adrenaline and increased heart rate since it's part of a traumatic fight or flight event being relived. So technically yes, PTSD *is* heartwarming.

Yikes

Actually all she did wrong was set the npcs to auto-loot

YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT

@@WM_Dio BUT I DID

Ok first, HOW DARE YOU!

Well probably because npc blacksmiths can auto craft decent weapons anyway without having seizures, which for context in a later episode they mentioned the crafting systems do that to players. Out of context but why do you use chip flakes original character as a image? I can get fare use images from random pictures or anime but isn't copying a youtubers image illegal Because it counts as impersonation which is against copyright laws. Sorry, just thought you'd want to know considering it can be a risk.

@Kuro i wanted too. I don’t think that’s really bad considering that was never an image he used as a profile picture, and I clearly wasn’t him just by looking at my name. But that’s not even a problem anymore so 🤷‍♂️

No no no, he stabs NPCs, just look at Gary dying on the floor of Asuna's guild.

His best friends are npcs tho

He probably didn't want to get too attached. Like... Ms. Lag.

I was annoyed he didn't say 30

Actually, I put it next to a google stopwatch (because I was curious to see how close it actually was) and it was roughly 26.90 seconds from the time he started saying three until he said twenty-eight. I have no clue why I bothered with this besides my curiosity.

I will be back at the first girl he ever liked gets killed MMA end up making females all for him and then he just ends up not giving a f*** at all until the end where she loves Asana

I’m just posting this everywhere, but given how much it affected him, and that Coffin got yeeted already, I really hope that the climax of the GGO arc involves him finally dancing with The Don

I agree

Yup, I actually liked the og SAO, but this is just a masterpiece

I dunno about better. But it does sound much more reasonable on this scenario.

Yeah you’re right

I agree with this wholeheartedly. This surpasses SAO. The difference in character developement is unbelievable. SAO really is a disappointment compared to this.

​@@robbieaulia6462yes

I don't even know what's "IT* wearing what's that dark color on *IT*

It's because the abridged series needs to fill the void the original created

So far every abridge I watched had good character development and it makes sense since they build off of an alright to good character

+IceVeins kirito is as bland as they come

+Cooper McGill Seriously thats how you feel? I thought the main problem was that he started off so strong instead of working his way up to being that strong so you saying this Kirito has more emotion cause hes always being sarcastic?

IceVeins I meant actual canon Kirito

It’s technically arsanist asuna

Not really rasict. Just ignorant

Both are great actually

SamuraIHippo I agree with Kuro that both of them are good, just in different ways

@@BladeoftheDarkmoon Same difference, Good thing is that their daughter is an AI that is a godlike psychiatrist.

The actual Anime did. They just never went into as much detail except for when Kirito have their romance moment just after he joins the knights.

​@@chucksterkookno it didn't. You could cut that entire bit out of the anime and have nothing of value lost. That's how little the Black Cats guild mattered. Here, it's the only anchor Kirito has to give humanity a second chance, and his main motivator in actually helping people. But the anime? Sachi was just a side bitch for harem lord Kirito. Abridged Kirito is more human than actual Kirito: being the main contributor to the deaths of people you'd call friends would REALLY fuck anyone up, but the anime Kirito's over it pretty quickly. There's a reason why everyone clowns on SAO: things just happen because "it looks cool."

@@kyotanaka920 Bro the midnight cats guild is the entire reason he decides to never just watch another player die. It had major effects on his psyche throughout the game.

​@bunnoreo347 it's just the fact that it's never or hardly ever shown again, let alone kirito mentioning them, it's just a consistency thing, it's why dbza is better (imo) than og dbz, it's why the first three seasons of Rick and Morty are good. The only constant thing in Sao are the ladies wanting to fuck kirito and asuna.

@@layset1885 i will admit that’s true, something along the lines of a flashback or a few words of dialogue would’ve been nice. But then again you can point to 100s of things in SAO to make it an exceptional anime

🤓

​@@nothingspecial7232shh... quiet.

Kirito isn't sexist. He roasts and makes fun of all genders equally.

“I'm a supporter of true gender equality”

Honestly he and kazuma will get along really well if they're ever met

@@uthopia27 Konosuba was inspired off of abridged series

@@uthopia27 Except Kazuma is actually low-key an incel. The writer of Konosuba is a woman and included the "true gender equality" thing to illustrate the fact that Kazuma is a sexist douche just waiting for an excuse to hit women because of his sexual frustrations. Abridged Kirito is a douche, but he actually seems to be surprisingly more progressive in social issues than one would expect, unlike Kazuma, who, while not explicitly sexist, does have notable misogynistic attitudes/habits.

Legit. SAO will always hold a special place in my heart for a couple different reasons (one of them being that SAO was the first anime i ever watched) but i can still understand it’s not exactly... high-quality. But yeah, i agree, one of the shows *many* problems was that, Kirito completely forgot Sachi existed 2 episodes after she died and then started chasing Asunas tail (or, perhaps more accurately, she started chasing his) as if nothing ever happened. Seeing that in the abridged version, Kirito actually grieves for Sachi for longer then a single episode is really cool since, the only other time i’ve seen an abridged version of an anime improve the story is the goblin slayer abridged, which you should totally check out if you haven’t already.

@@ArkeusWolf I'll give it a look, I've been needing something to hold me over until the next episode of SAO abridged Especially after what happened to DBZ abridged

@@ArkeusWolf was my first anime as well i really loved that abridged scene as it doesnt make him look like a robot without emotions

That actually is a great way to give her credit to others, for the best sword in the game, and show apreciation for her work. ...somehow.

Yeah. I still cant believe karahawa forced the story to make us believe Asuna loves kirito "for some reason". Because in the original kirito never once says that he loves asuna. They kinda just... get together even tho we never see him actually talk about this relationship stuff. Asuna does that in his place. Actually, I dont think kirito ever really talked about something personal in the show at all.

@@wandanemer2630 You know what is funny? A few episodes latter, when Kirito has his duel after revealing that the commander is actually Kaiba akihiko, he tells Klien(ballzs) to let Lizbet know he didn't actually name the sword a piece of shit. I loved that whole episode.

Also, dragon shit

Avery Graham yeah

Avery Graham its one of the thing that makes SAO Abridged alot better than actual SAO

The Almighty INTP they kind of just forget about her all together, too.

it is kinda sad tho, while I don't want to defend SAO, if they did add a lot of truma scene to kirito, the fanbase would complain ! if they don't add, the fanbase still complain. But i believe they should just follow the Novel, which did add a lot of reference to it but did not show it too much to make it like a extreme trauma for him. it still show how that event effected him. the anime just cut most parts tho. Also on a side note, Sachi never exist in Volume 1, she and all other girls, except Asuna, are side story in volume 2. and Volume 1 is all from start of game, kirito and asuna until game is finished ! the author never wanted to introduce other girls it was suppose to be a Kirito and Asuna only novel, but welp, guess u need more girl for more variation and popularity :| so yeh, all the story until he is out of Aincrad happened before that trauma even exist :P and even mention of it in novel is all in side stories and later volumes.

Oh really? In the novel it was mainly just Kirito and Asuna? That's kinda nice considering the anime doesn't ever bring up the girls again after their story. but somehow they still stay relevent

It's amazing what science can do these days

Andrew Addams interesting, where can i get these "pants"?

Bob Jones you can usually find them in places called "clothing stores"

Symbiote God what are these things called clothing stores. Will they accept my col and work together with my inventory? Or are they more like monster drops?

So basically Kayaba had to pretend he was sleeping, leave his heathcliff avatar, basically going on spectator mode, just to watch Kirito

@@khoatic414 yep

Yes. First rewatch after getting into Guilty Gear a year ago and I‘m floored

That would involve Reki writing protags that AREN'T just Marty Stu power-harem fantasies...

The problem is, these side story things with Lizbeth, Sachi, Yui (I think), and Silica were actually written after the main plot points of the story, since SAO was originally a short story. Sachi technically did exist, but Reki Kawahara probably didn't have all the details planned out and just had Asuna mention his “old guild” as an offhand comment when Kirito was forced to join KoB. Why he didn't change anything later when it was officially published... idk.

What do you mean? This IS the canon.

Animal Gamer So the whole trauma thing isn't in the original? Wow, this parody does have better writing then.

More like it was never touched upon again until the part when Kirito told Asuna about it, but even then he seemed to be rather cool about the whole thing already. Then the boss room with the Goat demon also reminded Kirito about Sachi cause the idiots inside cannot teleport away. Other than those 2 occasions, Kirito seemed to have completely gotten over it.

Hmm, that's too bad then. I think it was brilliantly done in this parody, how he begrudgingly tries to help the girl (in a humourous way), and it was touching when he yelled at the blacksmith girl and accidentally says "Sachi". Laughed at every episode and it ended greatly, can't wait to see season 2!

Animal Gamer actually, he didn't forgot, and as i remember i novel he was angry too, because of Lizz runing like an idiot here and there

Black March Cannel [AMV] I was referring to the anime, which is what the abridged series is based on story wise (with a LOT of tweaks)

Jhuan V. Sales did Asuna burn down the shop? If so and why?

she warned her not to go after kirito. they still had a moment after so asuna carried out her warning

I know that was so dark o.o I was like 'Woah, shiiiiitt'

Abliskarian SWE's Asuna is a yandere, which is why Asuna burned Lisbeth's shop to the ground after she (apparently) saw Kirito and Liz talking to each other when she had threaten Liz shortly before that. Asuna wanted Kirito to herself and basically saw Lisbeth as a threat.

+Bradley Konkiel rule 7# of surviving in the SAO abriged universe: never make kirito remember sachi

+gerard s Never make Kirito remember who?

+Android 16 all i can is send you to episode 3 of SAO abriged

gerard s Think... harder... The idea was to forget Sachi ever happened, thus surviving Abridged SAO.

WE MUST SAVE MY FAMILY!

That one line explains him _perfectly_ : He's a sociopathic asshole who does everything in his power to drive people away, because he's afraid of being hurt. He cares too much, so he shuts himself off from the world so nothing can ever hurt him. He's conditioned himself to be garbage to everyone, to drive them away so they can't get through his shell and give him time to bond with them. All in all, he's just a miserable, broken child hiding behind the mask of a soulless monster, to protect himself from the only pain he can't heal faster than it's dealt. And yet, it's not enough: No matter how hard he tries, no matter how much he bitches, he can't _help_ but care about other people, and it terrifies him because he's afraid of the pain.

I was about to comment, Uhm.. was that Gurren Lagann I saw?

Animal6089 Now that I actually have the song, I think it might be Guilty Gear. I don't actually know.

And kick the reason to the curb.

Yeah

Official Kirito = Generic hero with no personality Abridged Kirito = lovable, sadistic asshole with no chill but plenty of points to prove

Beerus The God Of Destruction Lovable? more like an asshole and the King of Douchebags !

Official Asuna: Boring, Smart, to sweet Abridged Asuna:Racist, Tsundere, Smart-Alec, and amazing personality

***** Long may he reign.

Ikr now that's just sad

Mog of War PTSD is some nasty shit and this does it better then the actual show. Tis quite sad.

Mog of War I'm so glad someone else mentioned this. Original Kirito had no depth. This Kirito is someone you can absolutely hate, while falling in love with them at the same time and have no fucking clue how those two things can coexist in concert with each other. But you still love it anyway. (Saying the above in another way: You know an abridged series is good when the writer/s and voice actor can make a girl fangirl over the Abridged character more than the real deal. ;D lol.)

BanananaBatman YUP! i like Abridged Kirito better than the Original

Mog of War I agree, though I still like the original anime I also like this one, each has it's pros and cons, just like everything in this world. (That part seriously made me so happy to see Kirito character development, and the death of all his friends actually effecting him instead of getting over it in, what, 2 maybe 3 episodes.)

Future wife.

Well, she was warned!

But that gives the implication that Liz ended up actually sleeping with Kirito cause the sign said “you _were_ warned” and given that Asuna only gave the one warning...... Kirito is a lucky sonofabitch
