In the yr 2026, the Augma is released to the public as an culling organisation to the AmuSphere, every bit it projects a game layer on acme of reality while the player is witting, rather than using FullDive. The most prominent combat-based game is Ordinal Calibration, in which a histrion'due south abilities are ranked by ordinal numbers.

Asuna, Lisbeth and Silica encourage Kirito to play OS upon hearing that Aincrad bosses accept appeared. Kirito joins Asuna and Klein in a boss fight against Kagachi the Samurai Lord at Akihabara, where the game's mascot, AI idol singer Yuna, appears and gives players buff effects as she sings. Kirito fails to achieve anything due to lack of real world physical force and agility. Eiji, the number-two ranked player, aids the group in defeating the dominate. Before Asuna makes the killing blow, Eiji whispers the word "Switch," a game mechanic from SAO that she recognizes.

The next night, Asuna joins Klein and his group for another boss fight at Yoyogi Park while waiting for their last group member, unaware that he was injured by Eiji the night before. Asuna leaves Klein and his lodge backside and gain to the fight against the Storm Griffin, which is over again presided over by Yuna. Klein and his guild are surprised past the sudden appearance of a second boss, Zanghi the Flame Caller, and shockingly supported by Eiji, who physically attacks and defeats Klein and his entire guild in the real world using superior reflexes and seemingly superhuman strength. When Asuna returns to where she left them, Klein and his guild are nowhere to be seen. The following morning, as Kirito practices with Os in Yoyogi Park, a girl he doesn't know appears in a white hood, mouths something wordlessly and points off into the distance before disappearing. A dislocated Kirito is surprised by Asuna who has arrived to have tiffin with him. While eating together, Asuna theorizes that Eiji was a erstwhile member of the Knights of the Blood Oath named Nautilus, while Yui deduces that the spawn locations of the Aincrad bosses line upwards with the SAO dungeon maps. Noting the absenteeism of Klein, Kirito tries to cheque up on him.

Asuna, Lisbeth and Silica join the boss fight confronting Strict Hermit at Yebisu Garden Place, where Yuna and Eiji announced again. At the same time, Agil contacts Kirito and tells him that Klein has been hospitalized with a cleaved arm; Kirito, alarmed, rushes to protect Asuna and their friends. During the boss battle, a second boss, Dorz'l the Anarchy Drake, suddenly appears and fixates on Silica. Eiji blocks Silica's escape by pushing her into the path of a lethal boss attack, and Asuna is defeated while protecting her; an orange orb materializes from Asuna and is speedily collected by 1 of the OS drones. Later the boxing, Asuna begins to suffer retentivity loss, and goes to the hospital for examination.

Asuna learns that the Augma device scanned her encephalon specifically for SAO memories and that the memory loss could worsen. After Asuna's condition worsens, Kirito gains a potent resolve to solve the mystery. Kirito visits Klein in the hospital and confirms that Klein's SAO memories are also missing. Kirito goes to the Dire Tusk boss battle at Tokyo Dome City looking for Eiji, where he is joined past Sinon; although he is concerned for her prophylactic, Sinon reminds Kirito that she is not an SAO survivor. During the dominate battle, an SAO survivor is defeated and Kirito witnesses a glowing memory orb being collected by an OS drone.

After the battle, Kirito is frustrated that Eiji did not show upwardly, but meets the hooded girl a third time, who repeats her actions from earlier. Kirito and Yui figure out that she is pointing towards Touto Technical University.

Kirito goes to the university and meets Professor Tetsuhiro Shigemura, who adult Augma. Shigemura refuses to answer any questions. Before leaving, Kirito notices on Shigemura's desk a picture of a daughter who resembles Yuna. Kirito talks to Seijirō Kikuoka, who informs him that Shigemura'southward daughter, Yuna, died in SAO. Kirito warns Kikuoka that the memory loss may be affecting other SAO survivors playing Bone. Visiting Asuna'south home, Kirito promises Asuna that he will become her memories back. While searching for clues, Kirito encounters the hooded girl yet once more, who he confirms is Yuna. When she tells him his rank is besides low, Kirito decides to level up hardcore, recklessly chain-soloing as many bosses equally he can, and improving his AR swordwork with aid from Leafa.

Days afterward, the OS players get together at the Tokyo National Stadium for Yuna's starting time live concert. In the lower levels, Kirito duels with Eiji, who claims he has a way to return Asuna's memories. After Kirito defeats him, Eiji reveals that Shigemura has been harvesting memories of SAO players in an endeavour to reconstruct his lost daughter's soul and resurrect her equally an AI; having SAO survivors concentrated in i place is the final stage of the programme and Eiji believes he has won. Kirito rushes back upstairs to warn everyone, calling Kikuoka on the way. Kikuoka warns Kirito that all the memory harvesting drones scanning everyone at once could damage the players' brains, killing them similar the NerveGear did in SAO.

As a horde of Aincrad bosses appear and terrorize the stadium, Kirito and Yuna bring together the battle. Yuna tells Kirito that the Augma has a hidden full-dive feature and he can use it to defeat SAO'south 100th flooring boss to stop the scan and save everyone. Earlier diving, Kirito gives Asuna an date ring. Entering the Scarlet Palace of Flooring 100, Kirito, Lisbeth, Silica, Agil, and Sinon face the dominate. They are hands overwhelmed until Asuna, Leafa, Klein, and several other memorable players from ALO and GGO come to their assist. Yui restores their saved abilities from SAO, allowing everyone to defeat the dominate. The voice of Akihiko Kayaba congratulates them on their victory and gives Kirito an extremely powerful sword equally a reward.

The group returns to the arena still in full-dive where Kirito, now Bone'due south top-ranked player, effortlessly dispatches the bosses with his new sword. Meanwhile, in the real world, Kikuoka finds Shigemura in the abased server room of Argus (the defunct visitor that in one case ran SAO) and arrests him. The hooded Yuna restores the survivors' memories and fades out of existence since her existence was tied to that of the Flooring 100 boss. Afterwards, Kirito and Asuna fulfill the promise they fabricated to each other in Aincrad, to sentinel a meteor shower together. Asuna returns Kirito's promise ring so he tin can properly put it on her paw this time, which he does.
