Anyway, this chapter covers Kirito's duel against Eiji, Prof. Shigemura's conversation with Kayaba Akihiko, and a few scenes from the concert's beginning (1:26:47-1:32:04 from the movie). And this was the rare chapter with significant changes to dialogue...
The manga decided to switch around the order of events a bit... and it switched the order of some dialogue lines from the pre-concert scene. The manga shows an extra message from Eiji to give more context to why Kazuto knew where to find him, I guess. Eiji's exosuit gets shown off more blatantly in the manga and Eiji gets some internal monologues during his fight against Kirito... that emphasise how he was having trouble against Kirito despite cheating. Manga Kirito's not so surprised that Eiji and Yuna were playing SAO together compared to the movie. Instead of blaming himself for his weakness, manga Eiji decides to clue Kirito in on the goal of their plan... leading to Kirito actually questioning Eiji if their plan was something Yuuna herself would have wanted... and this results in an entirely different dialogue at the end of their duel: Eiji focuses on the fact that Kirito doesn't understand his pain (cue Sachi cameo), instead of thinking that everyone's memories were expendable; in response, Kirito tells him that everyone has lost something in SAO, instead of talking about how he couldn't allow himself to lose to someone who denies their past. Meanwhile, the girls aren't as sure whether Kazuto had gone for a toilet break in the manga (there's even an afterword manga in the next volume where Yui thinks Kazuto is suffering from constipation because his "toilet break" took so long XD). Manga YUNA decides to greet her fans before beginning her performance. Finally, Shigemura's conversation with Kayaba is less spread out all over the place, though its content itself didn't change at all.
P.S. Next chapter will be adapting part of Hopeful Chant, the prologue to Ordinal Scale.
Finally, a standard thank you to all of those who contributed to the SAO Scans project for helping us get the raws.
