‘Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online’ Preview Teases Fierce Gun Battle

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online‘s premiere episode introduced fans to a tiny pink girl in the middle of a tournament known as the Squad Jam. While this has taken a back seat due to flash back episodes filling the story in, it seems the tournament is set to come back.

The preview for episode four pits LLENN and her partner M (who fans were introduced to in the last episode) back into the midst of the Squad Jam, as they not only deal with enemy players but professional players as well. It’ll be fun to jump back in considering how fun it was to see it during the premiere.

For those unfamiliar with the spin-off, the synopsis for Sword Art Online: Alternative Gun Gale Online is as follows:

“In the world of guns and steel that is Gun Gale Online, LLENN has been a devoted, female solo player. She is obsessed with two things: donning herself entirely in pink and honing her skills with consistent game play. She soon discovers her love for hunting other players (a.k.a. PK), soon to be known as the “Pink Devil.”

Meanwhile, LLENN meets a beautiful yet mysterious player, Pitohui, and the two click right away. Doing as she is told by Pitohui, she enters the Squad Jam group battle.”
