Episode Title:
Showdown in the Wilderness.
Episode Description:
Death Gun vows to kill Kirito someday, whether or not he is the "real deal". Kirito recalls a time when he and his party fought against Laughing Coffin in SAO, feeling anguished that he personally killed three members of Laughing Coffin during the fight. Sinon later finds Kirito stricken with trauma, but he is transferred to his next battle before confiding in her. Kirito wins against his opponent Ginko, while Sinon wins against her opponent Stinger, so Kirito and Sinon are up against each other in the final round in the qualifiers for their block. Both finalists in each block of qualifiers both qualify for the finals so the result of the final round in the qualifiers doesn't really matter...
