User blog:LaviBookman/Thoughts on Sword Art Online - Ep. 9 (SPOILERS!)

I enjoyed this episode a lot, though noticed a few holes that the anime never explained properly. Kirito revealed his Unique Skill, Dual Blades, but doesn't make note of how rare for people to discover Unique Skills. I'm assuming it's going to be elaborated properly in the next episode with Kirito's duel with Heathcliff, the leader of Knights of the Blood. Also, Lizbeth's comment of how she knew Kirito's secret put me off guard, since her special episode omitted Kirito revealing his Dual Blades skill to her. Therefore, the only way she could have known is for Kirito to show her somewhere in-between episodes (since there has been a 20+ floor gap between Kirito first meeting Lizbeth and where they are right now - Floor 75).

I didn't expect the Army to appear the way they did, though it doesn't matter too much. They'll appear again later.

This episode is really good, though the end is a bit weak, again, since the anime doesn't make note that Heathcliff is considered to be the strongest player in SAO or why he is considered the strongest.
