Seeing as Team Lycoris was busy with private matters, we decided to make an OS release this week. Just in time for Shino's/Sinon's birthday too... even though this chapter isn't particularly focused on Sinon, seeing as it's the all-star cast chapter, but let's just roll with it.
Anyway, this chapter covers the entirety of the AINCRAD battle up to the boss's defeat (1:39:58-1:46:07 from the movie). Next chapter will finish up the Ordinal Scale adaptation with the epilogue, then we'll only have the Hopeful Chant adaptation to finish.
Compared to the movie, Agil got an extra couple of lines after being whacked by the boss at the beginning of the battle; meanwhile Kirito's line was changed from an iku zo to an ikee, which practically means the same thing except for being more of a command. The manga adds a short line for Kirito to jinx himself after they break AINCRAD's shield. Silica gets a slightly more useful line: instead of a "no way", she gets to be captain obvious by pointing out what the boss is doing. Meanwhile, Agil takes over the role of providing a reaction to the situation. One of Yuna's lines was shortened from "terror of being killed by a boss monster" to "fear of death". The manga skips Asuna's monologue about how taking off Kirito's Augma would guarantee his safety at the cost of him being unable to save the others in favour of a monologue about Asuna realising that she still has her memories and strength from SAO. Several minor Silica and Agil lines got cut. Klein got an extra line to brag about his arm (and I guess Sakuya and Eugene got extra lines to argue about who's in charge?). Page 31 skipped a Sakuya and a Klein line and changed Yui's line. Klein got some extra Asuna love in one panel, while Dyne got to insert another Fukaziroh reference. Silica and Lisbeth got a few extra lines with their final attacks, while Asuna got some more monologue to clarify that she didn't know what exactly the boss was planning to do with its healing animation but nonetheless concluded that it's something bad. Asuna's final attack sequence monologue got changed + a Yuuki flashback was added and Yuuki only gave a push rather than going angel mode. So, all in all, mostly just minor tweaks here and there + some additional monologues.
Finally, a standard thank you to all of those who contributed to the SAO Scans project for helping us get the raws.
