Asuna, also known as Yuuki Asuna, is a super rich young lady whose father is the general manager of a company called Rect Progress. However, Asuna herself is not at all arrogant, and is a heroine with impeccable personality, beauty, and style. In the SAO game, she is married to the main character Kirito, and is also in a relationship with him in the real world.

A heroine who is too strong!

In SAO, she is the vice-captain of the top guild, the Knights of the Blood Oath, and is also known as the Flash Asuna because of her speed and accuracy with the sword. Asuna is faster than Kirito... She's a truly strong heroine.

I just love Kirito♡

Asuna fell in love with Kirito because of SAO, and she made a fierce approach by attacking him with home-cooked dishes and forcing him to team up! As a result, she ended up marrying Kirito in SAO. It's impressive that she managed to get Kirito, who was very popular with girls.

Even after returning to the real world, her love for Kirito only grows, and in the movie Ordinal Scale, even when Kirito sees her diary in which she writes about how much she loves him, she doesn't change her expression and just says, "I don't mind, Kirito."

And in Alicization, she installs an app on her phone that lets her check Kirito's pulse, temperature, and location! She says in front of Sinon that when she sees it, it makes her trip, which makes her a little taken aback... lol

On the way back from Egil's cafe with Kirito, Asuna was at the peak of happiness when he asked her to come to America with him. However, right after that, the two were attacked by Johnny Black, a survivor of Laughing Coffin, a murderous guild within SAO. Kirito tries to protect Asuna from Johnny, who has poison, but is injected with the poison right in front of Asuna and goes into cardiac arrest... It's so painful that Kirito ends up like that just to protect himself...

Asuna searches for Kirito.

Kirito, who is in cardiac arrest, is transported somewhere, but his whereabouts become unknown. Asuna, desperately searching for her beloved Kirito, turns to Kamishiro Rinko, the former lover of Kayaba Akihiko, the developer of SAO. And finally, she arrives at the RATH research facility, the Ocean Turtle, where Kirito is.

Asuna learns everything.

When she arrives at the Ocean Turtle, she finds Seijiro Kikuoka, who was in charge of the SAO incident at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and finally learns his true identity. And after learning the truth about the Underworld, that they are researching true bottom-up AI there, and that Kirito may be seriously disabled as a result of the American military attack, Asuna decides to dive into the Underworld herself to save Kirito.

Asuna fights to protect Kirito and the people of the Underworld from the forces of darkness and her American comrades who have dived from reality, but she is beaten down by the increasing number of attackers.

However, when she finds out that the leader of Laughing Coffin has joined the dark forces with the goal of taking revenge on Kirito, she rises up again. She defeats the leader of Laughing Coffin with the strongest combo attack, Mother's Rosario, given to her by her best friend, Yuuki. She manages to win thanks to her love for Kirito and the help of Yuuki.

Deciding to remain in the Underworld.

After defeating the leader of the Laughing Coffin, Asuna is safely reunited with Kirito, who has recovered from his state of insanity. Together with Kirito, they succeed in escaping Alice, who is the target of the US military, to the real world. As soon as she realizes that Kirito, who has remained to hold back the enemy, will not be able to escape the Underworld, Asuna says without hesitation that she will stay behind with him. This is the moment when you really get the sense of Asuna being a good wife!

Asuna, who stayed behind to rebuild the Underworld with Kirito, became the Planet Queen and took on the role of the top two in the government. Kirito, who became the Planet King, was flying around aimlessly while talking about diplomacy, so in reality, Asuna was the one who did the hard work... That's why the people of the Underworld look upon her with reverence and call her the "reincarnation of the Creator Goddess Stacia." Asuna is a reliable and good wife character no matter what world she goes to. lol

Go to the real world with Kirito!

Asuna and Kirito spend 200 years in the Underworld together, and finally return to the real world. However, Asuna cannot bring her memories from the Underworld back to the real world, so her mental age is not 200 years old... or anything like that.

Alice and Kirito start fighting over each other again!

After escaping to the real world during the Underworld battle, Alice waits for Kirito to return to the real world. As soon as he returns, she rushes to Kirito's side. After that, Alice continues to approach him aggressively, using every trick in the book to get closer to him, including putting herself in a cardboard box and delivering it to Kirito's house! Kirito is, of course, devoted to Asuna, but even Asuna is perplexed by this.

Asuna Summary!

This time, we introduced Asuna, the main heroine of the Sword Art Online series, whose heroine changes depending on the work. What did you think? It seems that Kirito's love for her is increasing with each work.

When she hears that Kirito is going to America, she goes with him, and when she finds out that he will remain in the Underworld, she stays with him... She really will go anywhere for Kirito! That's the feeling it gets.

In the first half of the Alicization arc, Asuna doesn't appear many times, but she plays an active role in the second half, so Asuna fans will want to keep an eye on Alicization!
