It turns out, the game's creator has issued an ultimatum: Reach the top of a certain castle (all 100 floors of it), beat the [[Final Boss]], and you will be able to log out. However, if you die in game, [[The Most Dangerous Video Game| you die in the real world.]] The same thing will happen if you force the system to shut off.

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: {{spoiler|After Kirito is almost killed by Kuradeel, he and Asuna decide to leave the front lines.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Kikuoka apparently [[Pokémon (anime)|watched an anime where]] everyone in real life suffered epilepsy around the country. This is of course, referring to the now-banned Porygon episode.
