2026-01-07 05:32:28 +0000 UTCIf you don't feel any sad feelings or emotions for yuuki i think you're a heartless soulless monster. If you don't feel any sad emotions for Yuuki, at all I think there's something majorly wrong with you. 19:21 yes, you're the only one who doesn't feel anything. And yes, there is something wrong with you. And if you get mad that, I said that you're the one who asked, I just answered truthfully. Sorry not sorry. I've been watching your reaction videos for 2 or 3 years now and literally out of all the anime you've ever watched whenever there was an emotional, sad heartbreaking scene, I have never seen you cry even once, and I'm gonna be honest, I think it's because either you have zero feelings or you're afraid to show your feelings because you think it's a sign of weakness. Or it could possibly be maybe the reason you don't show feelings or don't have any feelings. Could possibly be because of past trauma that happened to you in your life. That causes you not to trust people Irl cause you've said on stream that you don't trust people. You don't like people and possibly for that same reason. You don't get attached to characters in TV, shows, movies, video games or even anime.

2025-12-13 09:42:28 +0000 UTCIt's up to you how you feel, but to me it's not really about how much time we spend with a character that should make you care. To Your Eternity has one of the most emotional first episodes and we only know he character for about 15 mins. It's about how much you can empathize and understand the character that should create an attachment and not so much time. Also, Asuna has been partied with this group for weeks and people can definitely create a meaningful bond in that much time, so Asuna's attachment is perfectly understandable.

2025-12-06 07:45:11 +0000 UTCI think alot of the reason alot of sword art fans have an attachment to yuuki is having full context of the series plus multiple rewatches And also having gameverse knowledge where shes one of the main characters, so ofc seeing her more. Atleast thats how it is for me

2025-12-05 18:42:17 +0000 UTCI mean i get it, this whole story line feels like a side quest. I wouldve liked it if they worked yuuki into the story more, if she was around for a longer time, maybe a full season, with this sleeping knights part being the finale. As someone that doesnt know the novels i always tell myself, it mustve been done better and more extensive there but the people in charge of the anime didnt believe it to be too important so they cut a bunch.

2025-12-05 11:47:29 +0000 UTCi bet you can't guess the plot twist from kanata no astra nick , it is one of the best in anime history

2025-12-05 02:48:21 +0000 UTCthis was my least favorite arc in the show but i still felt a little sad

2025-12-05 01:37:40 +0000 UTCits ok to feel that way, its not about Yuuki, but how Asuna will get further this, its for her absent GGO arc

2025-12-05 00:33:10 +0000 UTCI think its problem is how fast it is. Imagine you would have her there for 20 episodes and on the end get this reveal. Likely reason why this arc had some effect only on me at the end.

2025-12-04 23:04:31 +0000 UTCYou aren’t wrong for feeling the way you do. Without spoilers, it took me until finishing the series to appreciate these couple episodes more myself

2025-12-04 22:14:03 +0000 UTCI always think of this arc as an Asuna side story where Kirito isn’t the main focus. When that happens, I usually make myself switch gears into having a fresh mind and fresh start with an interesting side character’s story. To get invested into. Yuuki is my favorite character from SAO solely cause she’s badass with a tragic story. I remember crying the first time I watched the end of this arc and now every time I watch it, I can’t help but cry lol. I love playing as Yuuki in any SAO games 💜

2025-12-04 22:12:26 +0000 UTCThat why I think this is the weakest arc they want 12 episodes or something like that to feel devastated. And the characters have much less aura and also don’t really pop up again

2025-12-04 18:35:04 +0000 UTCI understand completely, I always felt the same about this arc. Forced is a good way to put it. Klein Agil and Sinon and the gang felt alot more natural compared to this. Anyways can't wait for the movie to be done, peak incoming.

2025-12-04 17:05:07 +0000 UTCim a pretty empithetic person so i had a attachment when i saw this the first time but i can understand not caring to much about a character you just met like what 2 episodes ago. that being said i do think the writer did a pretty good job at building up the emotion behind the character and the VA was a great pick for her.'

2025-12-04 15:08:29 +0000 UTCI really can't blame Nick for not beeing attached or not caring that kuch about Yuki, because ,as he said, they did introduce Yuki out of nowhere. Even though Yuki came out of nowhere I really got attacked to her and I really cried listening to her backstory and her situation. I cried a bunch with this episode and the last one...

2025-12-04 13:32:16 +0000 UTCi cant remember how attached i was when i first watched it but after seing it for over 50 times (not kidding) i have an attachment. and its not like i just watched the show, she is in most games aswell, i only have her level 40 in fractured daydream but thats still like 8 hours of gameplay my attachment was most likely over asunas emotions, and i know that for us its 3 episodes but for them it has been weeks. Asunas biggest trouble righ now beside yuuki is her mom and yuuki helped her with that

2025-12-04 12:50:29 +0000 UTCthis episode was the first time i knew what aids really was, i knew it was a horrible illness but i never knew what it was
Ruukasu97
2025-12-04 12:45:12 +0000 UTCi wish the medicuboit were real, imagine being blind, deaf or paralyzed and being able to live kind of normal life. In the games they are just like everyone else

2025-12-04 12:43:30 +0000 UTCsame i didnt really care like l had moments that i felt a scene hitting me but ultimately it didnt cause it feeled forced

2025-12-04 12:05:33 +0000 UTCI won't lie, the first time I felt bad too, but not that bad But every time I reach this moment when I rewatch SAO, I'm close to tears It's a totally valid feeling it was probably better he light novel, an anime will always be too short, lack some details, that's how it's often been, especially in the early-mid 2010
Suirioujin
2025-12-04 11:51:24 +0000 UTCIt's completely understandable yes it's sad for Yukki and like you said you feel more bad for Asuna especially after seeing everything she has been through. I think the light novel did a better job at getting you more attached to Yukki then the anime did so that's why it comes off like this. Yea nothing wrong with how you feel it's sad but your not attached so it doesn't really hurt you in the feels like a few others who has gone through a parent or sibling that was terminally ill.

2025-12-04 10:51:06 +0000 UTCFor me personally i always cry at this arc but just because i get attached to a nice and kind character real easy plus im super emotional which is not helping, but personally for me Yuuki is in my top 5 Sao characters and if she wasent dying and she wouldve stayed for longer she would probably be my favourite sao character, dont feel bad its hard to get attached to a character in 5 episodes...Im a different case🥲🥲🥲

2025-12-04 07:40:57 +0000 UTCI like the arc, but I do think the characters needed more time. They should have introduced them in Either Sword art, Alfheim, or Gun gale, even if just a bit. That also/or made this arc long for more development for them, at least a bit. I think they just intended to care more about Yuuki from them feeling close to Asuna, to have us feel closer to Yuuki, and somewhat to the others in the group as well, but they needed more time for the pacing and such, the characters were introduced too soon I think and too close to the reveal. Not that it was bad, I think it worked, but for some people I think it definitely could have used more time beforehand. Heck, they could have had them be introduced as a strong guild ending up also getting to the place and assisting during the Excalibur arc with Tonky etc. tbh. We already knew the original characters, and a bit of more interaction/development etc. would have helped I think.

2025-12-04 07:04:30 +0000 UTCFor me watching it for like the 5th time through by watching Nick react I still feel for these characters often

2025-12-04 06:01:08 +0000 UTCPersonally i think what youre feeling is normal. At this point of the story all we know is Yuuki is this happy go lucky and strong character that that has a insanely sad back story thats all. We still dont know her and get to know her much to be attach to her. But for us as rewatch we already know her understand her backstory, rewatching it again on how Yuuki present herself before Asuna finds out and After finds out. We obviously is crying lol. Mind you some of us been with these character for YEARS including games, so we definitely has more attachment to yuuki than someone who only watch 5 episodes of her. But i think the more you watch it the more you understand. And also once you understand you can rewatch these episode to may or may not "experience it differently". So dont feel that youre "heartless".

2025-12-04 05:53:02 +0000 UTCTbf SAO is my favorite show of all time and this arc is honestly forgettable for me. I will assure you the rest of the series after this is incredible

2025-12-04 03:33:09 +0000 UTCI feel like these types of emotional stories get really mid as time goes by. like this formula has been recreated a million time and it feels forced now

2025-12-04 03:04:20 +0000 UTCI thik the Yuki stuff would have been better if she had been a character since the original SAO. Like it would have been a major twist seasons in the making. But yeah Its OK for you to feel more for Asuna in this sense. Its perfectly normal.

2025-12-04 02:34:01 +0000 UTCEh, just cuz I ugly cry everytime I watch this arch doesn’t mean you have to.
William
2025-12-04 02:32:37 +0000 UTCI understand your opinion on this arc, It's character development for asuna that's really all.
Aden Pollock
2025-12-04 02:30:02 +0000 UTCLike I say Sao is better second time you watch. You just understand the story better knowing why everything is happening and where it leads.
