![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t often categorize battles as “epic,” but I wouldn’t hesitate to call this one as such. As such, Kirito’s pretty much part of the team as the raid party opens the Boss’ door.Unlike the first boss fight, this is new material, and the battle completely sucked me in. Instead, most players realize what he has to offer and would rather have those skills working alongside them. Kirito does have the ”beater” stigma hovering over him, but he’s not the ostracized lone-wolf he was in the anime. While Kirito plays a big part in this section, it’s as much about Agil, Lind, and Kibaou as it is about our black swordsman.This is still early in SAO so the players are still figuring one another out, and it’s amusing to watch egos clash as they collaborate toward the common goal of defeating the Second Floor Boss.Fortunately, lessons were learned in the previous boss fight, and it’s a very interesting moment when Kibaou, of all people, suggests to the entire raid party that they hear what Kirito has to say about the beta test version. If the rest of the floors in SAO: Progressive are like this, then I’m in for the whole journey.The ReviewAsuna has been the star of Progressive, but in Volume 004, she leaves the stage for nearly two chapters as the story shifts to the fighters on the front line. Great action, solid plot, excellent character development, and several surprises to keep things exciting. In SummaryI am truly impressed with how the creators wrap up the Level 2 arc in this volume. ![]()
