Trap that ships the main couple hard. I dig it, also if my GF went and threw my cosplay costumes away I would juat break up there and then and cut ties altogether. That's the equivalent throwing out my custom made fight stick and my all my fighting games.
Why do keep wanting to root for the clear losing party? Like I already know she basically has no chance but the fact she's just so cute about her crush on him makes it extra painful.
She may have committed many sins and this new life is her way to making up for the atrocities she has done in the future past but I still wish her to be happy. A character so emotionally tortured needs some respite.
@WillLi Hacking in computing and programming means that you inject a code into an existing program. What Kirito did was using Yui's privileges to turn her into an item in game which is already a function within the system. That is not hacking, learn what it actually means.
Now as for the main...
@WillLi Well no, it was never suppose to show that Makoto is in a dangerous situation. From his point of view anyways, since this situation to him is just annoying. Also no, Kirito never hacked anything that never happened. Go re-assess the situation and see what's actually happening.
