Kirito vs Heathcliff
Kuradeel, after a failed attempt to kill Kirito.
Their first kiss.
This episode starts with an impressive battle between Kirito and Heathcliff (commander of “Knights of Blood” guild where Asuna serves as vice-commander). They are (probably) two strongest players in the game. And too bad the duel must end with Kirito lost, and he must join the guild.
Once Kirito joined the guild, another member called Godfree is assigned to train Kirito. And purposely he brought Kuradeel (remember him from episode 8?) trying to clear “past misunderstanding” as fellow guild member. Does it work? Nope. Kuradeel put some poison in the water they carry, and put both Kirito and Godfree paralysed. Kuradeel killed Godfree. And when he is about to kill Kirito, Asuna comes to his rescue.
Remember how I wrote that I wish Kirito would finish him in a “more-fitting” way?
As Asuna is too soft-hearted to “finish” Kuradeel, the final blow is finally landed by Kirito.
Then the couple had their first kiss. And they spent their first night together.
