Plot [edit]

In the year 2026, the Augma is released to the public as an alternative system to the AmuSphere, as it projects a game layer on peak of reality while the actor is conscious, rather than using FullDive. The most prominent gainsay-based game is Ordinal Scale, in which a histrion's abilities are ranked by ordinal numbers.

Asuna, Lisbeth and Silica encourage Kirito to play Bone upon hearing that Aincrad bosses accept appeared. Kirito joins Asuna and Klein in a boss fight against Kagachi the Samurai Lord at Akihabara, where the game's mascot, AI idol vocalist Yuna, appears and gives players vitrify furnishings as she sings. Kirito fails to attain anything due to lack of real world physical strength and agility. Eiji, the number-two ranked player, aids the group in defeating the dominate. Before Asuna makes the killing blow, Eiji whispers the word "Switch," a game mechanic from SAO that she recognizes.

The next night, Asuna joins Klein and his grouping for some other boss fight at Yoyogi Park while waiting for their final group member, unaware that he was injured by Eiji the nighttime before. Asuna leaves Klein and his gild behind and gain to the fight confronting the Storm Griffin, which is again presided over by Yuna. Klein and his guild are surprised by the sudden appearance of a 2d boss, Zanghi the Flame Caller, and shockingly supported by Eiji, who physically attacks and defeats Klein and his entire lodge in the real globe using superior reflexes and seemingly superhuman strength. When Asuna returns to where she left them, Klein and his social club are nowhere to be seen. The following morning, as Kirito practices with OS in Yoyogi Park, a daughter he doesn't know appears in a white hood, mouths something wordlessly and points off into the altitude before disappearing. A confused Kirito is surprised by Asuna who has arrived to have lunch with him. While eating together, Asuna theorizes that Eiji was a onetime fellow member of the Knights of the Blood Oath named Nautilus, while Yui deduces that the spawn locations of the Aincrad bosses line upward with the SAO dungeon maps. Noting the absenteeism of Klein, Kirito tries to check upwards on him.

Asuna, Lisbeth and Silica join the boss fight against Strict Hermit at Yebisu Garden Place, where Yuna and Eiji appear once more. At the same time, Agil contacts Kirito and tells him that Klein has been hospitalized with a broken arm; Kirito, alarmed, rushes to protect Asuna and their friends. During the boss boxing, a second boss, Dorz'l the Chaos Drake, suddenly appears and fixates on Silica. Eiji blocks Silica's escape by pushing her into the path of a lethal boss attack, and Asuna is defeated while protecting her; an orange orb materializes from Asuna and is quickly collected by 1 of the OS drones. Afterwards the battle, Asuna begins to suffer memory loss, and goes to the hospital for examination.

Asuna learns that the Augma device scanned her encephalon specifically for SAO memories and that the retentiveness loss could worsen. Later Asuna's condition worsens, Kirito gains a strong resolve to solve the mystery. Kirito visits Klein in the hospital and confirms that Klein'southward SAO memories are also missing. Kirito goes to the Dire Tusk dominate boxing at Tokyo Dome Urban center looking for Eiji, where he is joined by Sinon; although he is concerned for her safe, Sinon reminds Kirito that she is not an SAO survivor. During the boss battle, an SAO survivor is defeated and Kirito witnesses a glowing retentiveness orb existence collected by an OS drone. Yui tries to recall the memory orb from the drone but fails after existence blocked by the OS arrangement. After the battle, Kirito is frustrated that Eiji did not show upward, but meets the hooded daughter a tertiary fourth dimension, who repeats her actions from earlier. Kirito and Yui figure out that she is pointing towards Touto Technical University.

Kirito goes to the university and meets Professor Tetsuhiro Shigemura, who adult Augma. Shigemura refuses to reply whatever questions. Before leaving, Kirito notices on Shigemura'due south desk-bound a picture show of a girl who resembles Yuna. Kirito talks to Seijirō Kikuoka, who informs him that Shigemura'southward daughter, Yuna, died in SAO. Kirito warns Kikuoka that the memory loss may be affecting other SAO survivors playing OS. Visiting Asuna'south home, Kirito promises Asuna that he will get her memories back. While searching for clues, Kirito encounters the hooded girl notwithstanding again, who he confirms is Yuna. When she tells him his rank is too low, Kirito decides to level upwards hardcore, recklessly concatenation-soloing as many bosses every bit he can, and improving his AR swordwork with help from Leafa.

Days after, the OS players gather at the Tokyo National Stadium for Yuna's kickoff live concert. In the lower levels, Kirito duels with Eiji, who claims he has a fashion to return Asuna'southward memories. After Kirito defeats him, Eiji reveals that Shigemura has been harvesting memories of SAO players in an attempt to reconstruct his lost girl's soul and resurrect her as an AI; having SAO survivors concentrated in i place is the concluding phase of the plan and Eiji believes he has won. Kirito rushes back upstairs to warn everyone, calling Kikuoka on the mode. Kikuoka warns Kirito that all the retentivity harvesting drones scanning anybody at once could damage the players' brains, killing them like the NerveGear did in SAO.

Every bit a horde of Aincrad bosses appear and terrorize the stadium, Kirito and Yuna bring together the battle. Yuna tells Kirito that the Augma has a subconscious full-dive feature and he can use information technology to defeat SAO's 100th floor dominate to stop the scan and salve everyone. Before diving, Kirito gives Asuna an engagement ring. Entering the Ruby-red Palace of Floor 100, Kirito, Lisbeth, Silica, Agil, and Sinon confront the boss. They are hands overwhelmed until Asuna, Leafa, Klein, and several other memorable players from ALO and GGO come up to their aid. Yui restores their saved abilities from SAO, allowing anybody to defeat the boss. The vocalisation of Akihiko Kayaba congratulates them on their victory and gives Kirito an extremely powerful sword as a reward.

The group returns to the arena still in full-dive where Kirito, at present OS's top-ranked thespian, effortlessly dispatches the bosses with his new sword. Meanwhile, in the existent globe, Kikuoka finds Shigemura in the abandoned server room of Argus (the defunct visitor that once ran SAO) and arrests him. The hooded Yuna restores the survivors' memories and fades out of existence since her existence was tied to that of the Flooring 100 dominate. Afterwards, Kirito and Asuna fulfill the hope they made to each other in Aincrad, to lookout a meteor shower together. Asuna returns Kirito's promise ring so he can properly put information technology on her hand this time, which he does.

In a post-credits scene, Kikuoka, who was impressed with Shigemura's attempt at AI and soul reconstruction, recruits Shigemura to Rath.
