The 2nd Trailer for SAO: Movie
Plot: “On November 6, 2022, 10,000 players log into SAO for the first time, only to discover that they are unable to log out of the game. Kayaba reveals himself to tell the players that they must beat all 100 floors of Aincrad, the enormous steel castle that is the setting of SAO if they want to escape the game. Only then would they be able to log out. Dying inside of the game or having their NerveGear forcibly removed from their head will cause them to have their brains destroyed by the NerveGear, thus killing them in real life as well.
Asuna, who has logged into the game with her friend Mito, initially struggles to cope with her new reality of being trapped inside the game. Asuna’s venture eventually leads to her encounter with Kirito, one of 1,000 beta testers for SAO. He has the advantage of knowing important details about the game and the bosses on its floors. He isolates himself from other players and plays the game alone, bearing the label of “beater”, a portmanteau of “beta tester” and “cheater”. As the story progresses, more is revealed about the players and their struggle with being trapped inside of the game.”
