Even worse, he positions himself as the leader of the strongest guild in the game, earning the trust and admiration of many of the people he trapped, with the full intention of betraying them once they neared the end of the game. Kirito even thinks that the guy is a monster during their fight, after seeing how he felt nothing in spite of being responsible for thousands of deaths.}} |

When Kirito asks him why he did it all, he says he can't even remember but couldn't really stop himself... in the end Kirito seems to almost pity him. There's also the fact that the lingering program impression of Kayaba actually returns briefly to help Kirito during his final fight with the much less ambiguously monstrous Oberon, ultimately allowing Kirito to save Asuna and all the other people Oberon had been experimenting on...

- Coitus Ensues: It is implied Kirito and Asuna cyber it up after a near-death experience in SAO (with some misunderstandings along the way). "Details" can be found on the author's website.
- Tear Jerker: Volume Seven. All of it.
- Gary Stu: Kirito. No shit. To be explained in finer details: he is incredibly good at gaming, and fairly affable and cute to be attractive to every relevant female character he meets. Every villain has to use some subterfuge of trick to get the upper hand against him, otherwise they always lose. The combination of all of this factors is why the series attained such a large hatedom, along its fame itself. The reasons why this is controversial however are rather obvious: Kirito does himself get in pretty bad spots, and the failure to protect his first girlfriend because he was trying to look weak keeps haunting him.
