Asuna Yuuki (Sword Art Online)

History 1

Aincrad Arc Aria in a Starless Night One month has passed since the start of the "death game" and by this time at least 2,000 people have died in the world of SAO, and the 1st level has still not been conquered. The story of "Lightning" begins on December 2, when Kirito witnesses Asuna overkilling mobs and then fainting from fatigue. The guy decides to help the girl and takes her to a safe place, and then asks her about her reckless behavior during her fight. After learning from her that this is her first experience in the world of MMO games, the guy decides to teach her the mechanics of the SAO game and tell her useful information. After their conversation, Asuna decides to go out to exterminate monsters again, but very quickly loses her grip and runs out of strength. Kirito saves the girl again and carries her outside the dungeon. When she wakes up, she notices Kirito, who saved her, next to her. The girl says that his actions were useless and unnecessary, but he says the opposite and explains that she has the map he needs, which she got in the dungeon. Having reached the city of Tolbana, they separate for a while. Their next meeting happens late at night, when they both decide to grab some bread in the plaza. After sharing a little secret with her on how to make the bread a little tastier, Asuna thanks him for it, and then explains to him that the reason for her appearance is the raid against the boss of the 1st floor. After all the information regarding the 1st Floor Boss has been discussed, Kirito and Asuna decide to discuss all the details regarding their tactics. Kirito decides to go to a local bar and discuss everything there, but the girl categorically refuses such an offer and states that she does not want to be seen with someone in such places. After a short conversation, Kirito tells him that in this town he rented an apartment on the second floor of a farmhouse for only 120 coll, and then Asuna begs him to take her there to him and let her take a bath.

History 2

The next day, after gathering at the designated location, she teams up with Kirito to attack the dungeon. Their group would provide support in repelling the mobs in the room while the main forces would be focused on the boss itself. Initially, Asuna was against this scenario, but Kirito persuades her to follow this plan, arguing that it is a logical choice since their team consists of only two people. However, during this battle, a surprise attack occurs from the Kobold Lord, causing the raid leader, Diabel, to die in Kirito's arms. Together with Kirito and Egil, they launch powerful attacks on the boss and eventually manage to defeat the monster. After this battle, all the players present learn that Kirito is a beta tester and unanimously begin to insult him. Asuna climbs the stairs to the 2nd level and approaches Biter and wants to talk to him. She asks him how he knew her name, and then receives advice from him that she should definitely join a strong guild, and then leaves her by teleporting through the Gate.

Rondo of the Transitional Sword

December 8, 2022 Four days have passed since defeating the Stage 1 raid boss, and Asuna encounters Kirito again. Together, they watch as the blacksmith Nezuha fails and ruins one of the players' swords four times in a row. After witnessing this scene, Asuna decides to increase her rapier's tempering success rate, and together with Kirito, she sets out to gather the necessary resources to improve the rapier's stats. Arriving at the right place, they begin to fight against mobs, having previously made a bet, according to which the loser will pay for the dinner (while the minimum order amount was not specified). The winner of the competition will be the one who first kills 50 enemies. In the end, Asuna was the winner of this fight, having killed the required number of mobs first. The restaurant where she could eat her fill of free dessert was the one recommended by Argo. After this meal, the two of them went to the blacksmith and ordered him to "reinforce" Asuna's rapier. Despite her weapon having a 97% success rate of tempering, the weapon was destroyed, causing Asuna to fall into a severe depression. After this incident, she spends some time with Kirito and a few minutes after saying goodbye, Kirito suddenly runs into her room and makes her materialize all of her items in her inventory. It turns out that her weapon was not destroyed and Asuna becomes her old self again, and her depression disappears. February 2023 Once the 25th floor is cleared, Asuna becomes the sub-leader of the Knights of the Blood guild after the Aincrad Liberation Army is defeated in the 25th floor boss fight. After she joins the RyKam, Asuna constantly criticizes Kirito's opinions and disagrees with him during the clearing meetings.

Murder in the Safe Zone

During one of their meetings, Kirito persuades her to stop at a spacious clearing and enjoy the beautiful view, and take a short nap. Reluctantly, the girl decides to relax for a while and lie down on the grass, and then falls asleep. A few hours later, she wakes up and, as a thank you for Kirito guarding her, decides to treat him to food at one of the restaurants. While in the restaurant, everyone present hears a scream coming from outside and running outside, they see a man hanging from a building, stabbed in the chest with a sword. Before their eyes, the man in the "Safe Zone" dies and Kirito and Asuna decide to find out if it is really possible to kill someone while in the "Safe Zone". It soon turns out that the Golden Apple guild members were behind this "performance", wanting to find out the real reason for the death of their leader Griselda. But as it turns out, the real puppeteer of this complicated story was Griselda's husband, Grimlock, who, with the help of the infamous Laughing Coffin guild, wanted to kill all the members of his guild. But Asuna and Kirito, who arrived in time, manage to prevent the murders and drive away the "red" players. August 2024 Asuna, as one of the members of the Knights of the Blood, participates in the "Crusade" against the "red" guild Laughing Coffin.

Warmth of the heart

At the beginning of the story, Asuna visits Lisbeth's shop and asks her to polish her rapier. To Asuna's surprise, Lisbeth notices that her friend takes good care of her appearance and assumes that Asuna is in love with someone. After finishing the order, Asuna bids her farewell and leaves to run her business. Two days pass after her last encounter with Lisbeth, and once Asuna learns that she has returned, she immediately runs to her, her friend, who has just finished creating a new weapon. After Lisbeth explains what happened to her, she notices that Kirito is also present in her forge. After briefly talking about her adventure with Kirito, Lisbeth suddenly leaves her shop and asks Asuna to keep an eye on Kirito. October 2024 After Asuna entered Agil's shop to find Kirito, he asks Asuna to cook him something delicious using an S-Class ingredient he found. She agrees to help him in exchange for giving half of the dish she cooks. Unable to resist her conditions, Kirito agrees. Inviting him to her home in Salemburg, located on the 61st floor, she prepares a stew while Kirito himself only watches from the side as she cooks. Having eaten her fill, Asuna insists on forming a team with him and heading to the 74th floor. After some persuasion, Kirito agrees. While clearing one of the dungeon zones, the two of them meet the Furinkazan guild. While exchanging greetings, they also run into the Army, who are searching the labyrinth. After learning that Kirito and Asuna have found the boss's room, they demand a map of his location from them and continue on their way.

Warmth of the Heart 2

As the Army soldiers left towards the boss, Asuna and Kirito continued on their way, dealing with groups of lizardmen as they went. A little later, they heard the sound of battle happening nearby and rushed to help the people trapped. As it turned out, the Army soldiers failed and were unable to leave the boss's chamber. Realizing this, Asuna rushed into the boss's lair, and Kirito had no choice but to save her. Together with Klein, they attacked Fire-Eye, and Kirito was forced to use his secret skill "Two Swords" in front of everyone, and somehow managed to defeat the boss. After a difficult victory over the boss, Asuna sees Kirito's critical condition and immediately begins to restore his HP with a potion. After Klein carries Kirito to safety, he comes to his senses, and Asuna hugs him tightly and says how worried she was about him. After this incident, she decides to take a break from her guild and spend more time with Kirito. When she returned to Grandum with her claim, Heathcliff wanted to duel Kirito to settle the claim. Asuna tried to dissuade Kirito, but he agreed and ultimately lost, dooming him to join the guild. When Kirito told her about his dark past, which was the reason for his solitary playstyle, she supported him, and he went on the test mission with her moral support. She kept her eyes on the map, watching his location, and when Godfrey disappeared, she rushed to save him. She saved Kirito from Kradil, but she was unable to finish him off, which he took advantage of. However, Kirito reacted in time and killed him using his hand-to-hand combat skill. In despair, she was about to run away, but Kirito calmed her down and kissed her. They spent that night together, in every sense, and Asuna agreed to become Kirito's wife, and the next day, the couple went on their honeymoon, buying a house on the 22nd floor of Aincrad.

Morning Dew Girl 1

A few days later, while walking through the forest, Kirito and Asuna meet a girl. They approach her and try to talk to her, but she suddenly falls unconscious. They take her to their house and wait for her to wake up. When they wake up, they learn that she has no memories of her past, except that her name is Yui. Taking her with them, the pair decide to go to the Starting Town, located on the 1st level, and reach the local church, where children live, who were caught in a "death trap" along with everyone else. Meeting Sasha, the girl who looks after the children, they learn from her that a girl named Yui has never been here. At that very moment, Yuriel, the sub-leader of the Aincrad Liberation Army, suddenly appeared at the church and begged Kirito and Asuna to help her search for her husband. From her story, they learned that her husband Sinker had been tricked into being trapped in the dungeon on Level 1 a few days ago, and was unable to escape from the trap. Asuna agreed to help the girls, and Yui stubbornly insisted that they let her go into the dungeon with them. Descending into the dungeon, they reach Sinker, who was in a safe zone. Yuriel runs straight to him, but almost falls into the trap of the local boss. Having gotten into a difficult situation, Kirito tells Asuna to take Yui and immediately teleport to a safe place while he distracts the boss, but Asuna decides otherwise and stays with her lover. Asuna asks Yuriel to take care of Yui and hands her over to the girl, asking her to take her away from the battle. Together with Kirito, she manages to distract the boss for a while, but very quickly they find themselves in a fatal situation in which help comes from the most unexpected side. Yui intervenes in their fight and materializes a huge fiery sword with one blow, destroying the enemy.

Morning Dew Girl 2

Afterwards, they find the admin console, which stores the admin account data and can be used to control various aspects of the game. At this very moment, Yui's memory returns and a new problem arises. As it turns out, the SAO system considered her actions illegal and recognized her as a foreign object. After which, the process of erasing her from the game world began. In a desperate attempt to save their "daughter", Kirito manages to save her "self" and turn her into a game object. All of Yui's data was converted into a small object resembling a necklace, which Asuna began to wear as a memento of Yui. November 2024 2 weeks later, under Heathcliff's orders, they were summoned to the guild headquarters, where the guild master informed them that the next floor boss had been found, but their expectations regarding the boss's strength were wrong. The boss of the floor was stronger than expected, as it killed half of the scouting party and left the rest trapped. Fearing for Asuna's safety, Kirito asked her to stay in the guild and not follow him. However, Asuna decided otherwise and refused, stating that she would commit suicide if she found out that Kirito would die in battle, a turn of events she could not bear. Kirito comforted her and hugged her with his arms. She confessed to her lover that she wanted to stay with him forever and marry him in the real world.

Morning Dew Girl 3

Later, she joins the raid group to clear the boss room of the 75th floor. The fight turns out to be very difficult, but the miners manage to destroy the boss and catch their breath after the battle. However, very soon Kirito reveals Heathcliff's true identity and exposes him as Kayabo Akihiko, the main developer of SAO. Kayaba himself did not expect that his true identity would be revealed so quickly and a moment later, using administrator rights, paralyzes Asuna and all the players present, except for Kirito. Kayaba gives Kirito a chance to end this "death game", namely, to fight him, trying to kill him. After some thought, Kirito agrees to the duel, while all the players present, as well as Asuna, try to dissuade Kirito from this dangerous undertaking. The fight begins and at a certain point Kirito finds himself in a critical situation. Overcoming the effects of paralysis, Asuna rushes to help her lover and takes Heathcliff's blow, saving Kirito. Having received a mortal wound, her quantum data defining her character is erased and she dies. Shocked by this development, Kirito tries to continue the duel with Heathcliff, but not with the same zeal and very soon his HP reaches 0. At the very last moment, Kirito decides not to give up and, taking Asuna's rapier, deals a fatal blow to the enemy, after which they both technically die. After the battle, as Aincrad began to collapse, Asuna and Kirito met again in a special zone created by Akihiko, preventing them from dying because he wanted to talk to them. Just before Aincrad was destroyed, Asuna and Kirito shared their real-world names and promised each other that they would meet again, and after kissing, they disappeared from this world as one.

Fairy Dance Arc 1

Fairy Dance (Part I) Asuna and 300 other SAO players did not wake up after the "death" game ended and are still in a coma. As it turns out, during the destruction of Aincrad, Sugou Nobuyuki intercepted the data of several hundred players and redirected their consciousness to Alfheim Online. As a result of his actions, the SAO hostages, including Asuna, were locked in Yggdrasil, at the very top of the World Tree, and did not even realize the situation they found themselves in. Fairy Dance (Part II) Choosing the right moment, Asuna escapes from the cage and enters the laboratory, the key card for which she stole from Sugo, but his henchmen, with the appearance of monsters, caught her and returned her back to the cage. At the very moment when Kirito approaches Yggdrasil and tries to fly to the very top of the World Tree, she hears her "daughter" Yui calling out for Asuna. However, due to the distance difference, she is unable to contact them and in an attempt to somehow let them know about her presence, she throws a key card down to them. Later, Kirito and Yui reach the very top of the Tree and they are all reunited again. Suddenly, Yui disappears and they fall to the floor under the force of gravity, the fault of which is Sugou, who uses one of the test types of magic. Having pierced the defenseless Kirito with a sword, he chains Asuna and begins to mock her. However, Kirito manages to free himself from the strong spell and use Heathcliff's admin rights. Quite easily, Kirito kills Sugou, and then frees his beloved and promises her that they will meet in the "real world" very soon. Waking up in her hospital bed, she quietly waited for Kazuto to return. Finally, Kazuto comes to Asuna's room and they share the joy of meeting in the real world.

Fairy Dance Arc 2

One day in May, Asuna and Kazuto are relaxing on a bench near the school they both attend. The school they both attend is an educational institution for all the surviving children from SAO, and so in addition to Kazuto, Asuna meets the rest of her friends from the game there. From Kirigaya, she learns that Nobuyuki was arrested and how Kayaba Akihiko killed himself after trying to transfer his consciousness to the Internet. A little later, having gathered at Dicey Cafe, Asuna takes part in a party to celebrate the end of SAO. The girl has a fun time and that evening, along with the rest of the SAO survivors, she "dives" into ALO. Phantom Bullet Arc After Kazuto's meeting with Kikuoka, Asuna waited for him in front of Otemachi Station on the Chiyoda Line on December 7, 2025, almost a year after she returned to the real world. As Asuna waited and thought about the "real" things around her, made of atoms rather than bits of information, she still felt that what happened in the virtual reality was also "real". As she thought about this, she wondered out loud what the difference was between the virtual world and the real world. To her surprise, Kazuto answered that the difference was simply in the amount and quality of data.

Mother's Rosary Arch

Asuna met a player named Absolute Sword in ALO. Absolute Sword (Yuki) and his guild, the Sleeping Knights, asked Asuna for help to defeat a stage boss in the new Aincrad. Asuna later learned that almost all of the guild members were doomed patients who had been in full immersion longer than any player from SAO. To Asuna's further shock, Yuuki only had a few months to live due to her terminal AIDS. Asuna decided to help Yuuki live her life to the fullest with the help of Kirito, who was able to create a camera and speaker that allowed Yuuki to see and communicate with others while in a sterile chamber and immersed in a virtual world through the MediCuboid. In the end, after Yuuki's death, Asuna decided to never give up again, no matter what difficulties she faced in life.

Alicization Arc

The Beginning of Alicization Asuna learned of Kazuto's temporary job. She soon learned more about the job at Dicey Cafe, where Kazuto tells her and Sinon everything he knows, and then they go to her house. However, on the way, a vengeful former Sword Art Online player from the Laughing Coffin guild, Johnny Black, attacks them and takes out his anger on Kazuto, severely injuring him. Alicization Progress Asuna is escorted to the hospital with Kazuto, and although the doctors resuscitate him from his coma, he disappears the next day. After deductive reasoning, she discovers that he was kidnapped and taken to the Ocean Turtle.

Background

She logged into SAO by stealing her brother's Nerve Gear, who had gone on a business trip that day and was unable to play on the day the game went on sale. After Akihiko Kayaba's fateful apparition announced the start of the death game, she locked herself in a room in the inn of the Starting Town and did not come out for a week, contemplating suicide. However, she decided to take her fate into her own hands and began to exterminate mobs at incredible speeds, eventually developing her speed to the extreme, earning her the nickname "Lightning" (閃光 Senkō).

Personality

Initially, Asuna was not concerned about her death in the game until she met Kirito. This meeting changed her life and outlook radically. She took Kirito's words from his heart into her soul and began to try to help him, thus following her new path in life. Throughout the first volume, she acted like a tsundere, right up until the moment they got married. Asuna is a kind and helpful girl, and like Kirito, she is willing to help. She took the game very seriously until Kirito suggested that she take a break and enjoy the moment. Asuna is proud, and is not afraid to use force against those who encroach on her power, and is also willing to brag about her own skills, such as cooking. She even challenged Kirito to a fight after a disagreement over strategy against the boss of the next stage. She is also willing to act as she pleases from time to time. Like Kirito, Asuna is often affected by her emotions. A clear example of this is when she shielded Kirito with her body when Heathcliff was about to deliver a fatal blow. She also couldn't accept the death of the Aincrad Liberation Army members so easily and rushed to attack the boss of the 74th floor. In ALO, after being saved, her personality didn't change at all, except that she wasn't too proud anymore. But after meeting Yuki, she began to change a lot. Seeing how Yuki was able to move forward despite her inevitable death and the death of her friends, Asuna herself continued to move forward. As a result, she was able to come to an agreement with her mother, who had previously tried her best to separate her from Kirito.
