Synopsis: The next chapter of Sword Art Online II!

ARC 2: CALIBUR

News spreads among the players that the legendary Holy Sword Excalibur has been discovered inside ALO. This was actually the very sword that Kirito and Leafa found in the underground realm of Jotunheim several months ago when they saved Tonky. Hearing the news, they decide to acquire Excalibur before the other players. Summoning Asuna, Klein, Sinon and the others, they set off for the dungeon in Jotunheim for an exciting new mission!

ARC 3: MOTHER’S ROSARIO

Hearing rumors about an undefeated player known as Zekken, Asuna decides to mount a challenge. Zekken has been seeking opponents to duel for an ultra-fast 11-hit combo original sword skill. Not a single challenger has been successful so far, will Asuna succeed where so many have failed?

Contains episodes 15-19, which include the full Calibur Arc and the start of Mothers Rosario. All episodes feature the English dub and the original Japanese track with English subtitles.

WHAT DOES THE FINISHED PRODUCT LOOK LIKE?

And now the part you’ve been waiting for, photos of the actual product. As a note, as was the case with Part 1 and 2 because our release utilises a mirror-like effect on the rigid case we’ve done our best to showcase this in the photos. But trust us when we say it look nice and shiny! (You can click on the images to enlarge them.)
