This is the second report, but where is Suguha....?

It seems to me more and more that due to the fact that Fujino plans to complete the game in the next 5 updates, he simply does not have time for characters who will not participate in the final foursome. That is, Asuna, Lisbeth, Kyoko, and Inoda. And all the other characters, due to too short a time to complete the story, may be pushed out of the focus of the plot.

I have a feeling that Suguha will be there but Fujino doesn't want to mention her, like in the previous update, even though there was no scene

Translation of the chinese part just says that they'll release in the beginning of April like last time. So same as the last update.
It says in Chinese that the release is likely to be a few days after the start of the month. So it's probably not the end of April, but the first week. Although everything can change if Fujino decides to slow down.
This just shows you always have to translate the Chinese part in case the English part missed something! :ROFLMAO:

I mean, she’s always there, but she doesn’t get any decent CGs anymore. At this point, I don’t expect much to come.

The only thing that's a little interesting is the mentioning of FOG outfit, and 4 CGs for an Asuna event. Like it's easy to assume the 4 CGs should be IRL, because they shouldn't be doing anything in FOG anymore, but it's a little weird to read that the new outfit is for an Asuna FOG event. I wonder what's going to happen with the ritual since this is all happening on in-game Saturday at this point.

I'm afraid Fujino will decide to make Suguha/Lifa the reason for the "deterioration" of the relationship between Asuna and Kirito. The scene at the base is quite strange. It's like Kirito is in Asuna's friend zone. Asuna doesn't care about Kirito, but as soon as she saw another girl next to Kirito, she immediately showed her rotten hypocritical jealousy. And at the same time, Fujino made an ambiguous plot move - Asuna seemed to recognize Flora in the Bodice, which contradicts his own rules. A veil and a different nickname make a completely different character out of a Lifa. And all these moments may lead to the fact that Asuna will be jealous of Suguha\Lifa in real life\game. In short, Fujino, in order to speed up/simplify the narrative, will make Kirito and Suguha to blame for everything, and not the manipulations of Inoda, the Council, the Administrator. That is, either one layer of the plot will become superfluous, or another.

Probably ritual-related. Considering the cabin map should be there, I guess it might indeed be her OG SAO outfit. And I have a feeling Fujino might go for another retcon, cementing Asuna’s disappointment in Kirito by making his first-night performance bad. :sneaky:

I guess a flashback would make sense. Or maybe Kirito and Asuna have to bang on the last day of the ritual, which still leads to that whole disappointed in Kirito scenario. But yeah that's a reasonable guess.

This, again, will show that it is Asuna who is not suitable for Kirito. Kirito fucked Liz fine in a massage parlor, Sinon likes everything too, but Suguha doesn't care at all, the main thing is that it's a brother. It would be interesting if Liz decided to help Kirito to get revenge on Inoda or Sinon came up with something. Asuna's cogentive dissonance would be funny if Kirito had satisfied her. Asuna would probably be offended by Kirito for never trying to satisfy her before. -200...
