Sword Art Online Season 1 Recasting
Project Overview
What is this?
This is a recasting for a fandub of Sword Art Online.
Synopsis:
The year is 2022, and gamers have lined up on launch day for Sword Art Online, a hotly-anticipated MMORPG that lets players connect to an immersive virtual reality world with special helmets called Nerve Gear. Kirito is one such gamer who's eager to jump back into action, having spent a great deal of time as a beta tester, and quickly becomes friends with newbie warrior Klein. But soon, Sword Art Online's 10,000 players discover that not only are they unable to log out, the only way they can return to their physical bodies is by beating the 100-level tower's final boss - death in the game means death in the real world. Now, with no one else to turn to, Kirito and the other participants must survive the game as best they can.

He was one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in Sword Art Online, where he was the guild leader of "Fuurinkazan", one of the clearer guilds.

Geez, you're the same as ever. (notices Asuna) Wait...WHOA! You're a solo player! What the heck are you doing with a...(REALLY notices Asuna)...girl?! (freezes in place)
(grabbing Kirito by the belt) Kirito...listen. Stay alive, you hear?! I don't care how you do it! Just stay alive 'til the end! (starts to cry and lets go, allowing Kirito to keep walking)
In SAO…we had a code. “Never let another player's HP hit zero, no matter what”. We knew if it dropped to nothing, that player would die. (we see more flashbacks to crimes that Laughing Coffin committed) Laughing Coffin didn't care. They killed dozens–no, hundreds of people. The Assault Team HAD to step in. They put a party together to hunt 'em down…and capture them.
DESCRIPTION
Daizen is a minor character in the Aincrad Arc. He is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in "Sword Art Online", where he was the Head of Finances of the "Knights of the Blood Oath" guild.
PERSONALITY
Daizen is a very profit-minded individual who would turn any event, like Kirito's duel with Heathcliff, into a money-making financial gain to the guild.

We tried, "teach", but they said it's not good enough!
Awesome. That was SO AWESOME! (All kids walk up to Asuna and sing praises) Aw, I've never seen anothing like THAT!
DESCRIPTION
Kain is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in the game Sword Art Online. Along with Gin and Mina, Kain is one of the children picked up by Sasha and cared for in a church in the original city since the beginning of the MMORPG Sword Art Online. When they are held captive by members of the Aincrad Liberation Army guild because Sasha allegedly failed to pay their taxes, they are filled with fear.

After Sword Art Online was cleared, Rika began playing ALfheim Online with her friends as a Leprechaun blacksmith. During the course of the game, she opened a new blacksmith store in Yggdrasil City.
PERSONALITY
Lisbeth is a very friendly person that can get along with just about everyone she meets. She is hardworking and takes great pride in her abilities as a blacksmith. She will become very defensive and aggressive if someone were to challenge her pride as a blacksmith much like Kirito did after accidentally breaking the best sword she had created. She has a bad temper and can get somewhat violent, such as when she grabbed Kirito by the collar after he broke one of her best swords. Lisbeth is very teasing as well.

Oh, c'mon...you don't have to apologize or anything. (steps up to whisper in Asuna's ear) He might be a little weird, but he's not such a bad guy. Don't screw this up, Asuna. He's a keeper.
(depressed) Leave me alone...he's all over her and it's driving me nuts. Acting like that at school, it's so tacky!
Yeah, well, that's sorta kinda your own fault. You said it was gonna be our little secret, but you went and blabbed it to everyone. (grins wickedly as Kirito stews)
DESCRIPTION
Keiko Ayano, known as Silica in "Sword Art Online" (SAO), "ALfheim Online" (ALO), and "Project Alicization", is a supporting character in the Aincrad Arc, one of the main characters of the Girls Ops spinoff, along with Suguha Kirigaya (Leafa) and Rika Shinozaki (Lisbeth), and a reoccurring character throughout the Sword Art Online series.

(closing her menu) Fine! I don't care! You want my items? Take 'em! But I'm never gonna team up with you again! I know there's a TON of other Parties who would LOVE to have me on their side! (turns and stomps away)
I...I think it's cool you're with the Assault Team. I could try for a hundred years and never make it.
I didn't talk you into it! It was YOUR idea! YOU said we should let them have their "little romance" for a month, remember? I mean, God! Talk about naive! (Rika sighs as Keiko looks out the window at the sky)
DESCRIPTION
Mina is one of the 10,000 players who were trapped in the game Sword Art Online. Along with Gin and Kain, Mina is one of the children picked up by Sasha and cared for in a church in the original city since the beginning of the MMORPG Sword Art Online. When they are held captive by members of the Aincrad Liberation Army guild, allegedly because Sasha hasn't paid their taxes, they are terrified. They are all the more relieved when Kirito and Asuna appear and drive away the culprits.

PERSONALITY
Yolko appeared to be a extremely terrified and traumatized person when her former guildmate and boyfriend, Caynz, "died", but she is proven to be a good actor when it is revealed that she and Caynz had staged the murder and Yolko had pretended to have been traumatized.
VOICE
"Natalie Hoover"
- american
- female teen
(a bit embarrassed) You won't believe me but...after it was over, I was going to tell you the truth. I am sorry we had to trick you to help us out. (Kirito chuckles a little)
I can't believe it! Did you...did you really plan this?! (Grimlock remains silent, but he does frown) HOW COULD YOU, GRIMLOCK?! ANSWER ME! Why did you kill Griselda?! Was it the money?! Was the money so important to you that you'd kill your own wife for it?!
DESCRIPTION
Issin is a member of Fuurinkazan
PERSONALITY
Fuurinkazan is a guild started by Klein and a group of his friends from the real world. They had waited in line for a long time in order for each of them to obtain one of the 10,000 copies of the game. All of the members of Fuurinkazan have known each other since before SAO started. Klein had protected and guided all of them, until all of them had become well-capable players on the front-lines.

BOSS! (The Guild form up between Kirito and Klein, angry looks on their faces...for a few seconds, anyway. And then...) Whoa! Are you really THAT "Asuna"?!
DESCRIPTION
Suguha Kirigaya, known as Leafa in "ALfheim Online" (ALO), as well as "Project Alicization", where she had temporarily used the Terraria account, is the deuteragonist of the Fairy Dance Arc, one of the main characters of the Girls Ops spinoff, and a reoccurring character throughout the Sword Art Online series.
PERSONALITY
Unlike her cousin Kazuto, Suguha is upbeat and outgoing. She is much more social and converses easily with others. Even when Kazuto began to push her away after finding out they were not really siblings, she still treated him with good spirit and tried to get back in his life. She can be very aggressive towards those that annoy her or cross her and can easily lose her temper. This is demonstrated in one case when Recon attempted to kiss her after confessing his love to her and she punched him.
VOICE
"Cassandra Lee Morris"

Well, for one thing, the Salamander and Sylph races never got along. But those guys were organized and THAT wasn't happening until recently. I dunno. If you ask me, they're gearing up to try to clear the World Tree soon.
(narrating) "I wanna see what virtual reality's like." I wonder when I first thought that? I used to hate virtual reality games with a vengeance. And I blamed them for stealing my brother away from me. But, later on, I got curious. I didn't know WHY my brother loved them so much. So I figured, "Maybe I should see why for myself."
I know my brother. And right now, he's risking his life in that game trying to find out WHO this person is. When he came home last night, he had this look on his face, like he'd seen a ghost. He must have bumped into the guy yesterday during the Prelims. I bet THAT’S when he realized someone from Laughing Coffin was in GGO. Someone who figured out how to kill players for real again. My brother went back to put an end to that nightmare. To find out his name and stop his PK’ing once and for all.

DESCRIPTION
Yui, officially named "Yui-MHCP001" (Mental Health Counseling Program 001), is a supporting character throughout the Sword Art Online series. She is a top-down Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that was originally developed by Argus to address player mental health concerns in Sword Art Online (SAO). However, when Kayaba Akihiko turned Sword Art Online into a death game, Yui was forbidden from interfering with players whatsoever by the Cardinal System, which led to her collapsing due to being forced to monitor player mental health without being able to fulfil her duties.
PERSONALITY
Yui had become melancholic when the death game began, as she was not allowed to comfort players and was forced to continue monitoring their psychological parameters. When she finally, after nearly two years of only seeing insanity, misery, and anger, noticed a couple, expressing happiness and joy, she became overwhelmed with curiosity, which led to her ignoring the Cardinal System's command not to interact with players.
VOICE
"Stephanie Sheh"

You humans are so complicated. (flies to Kirito's shoulder) Honestly, your psychology is confusing. Why do you act so horribly to each other when all you want is companionship?
(slowly and quietly) My...my name is...I think my name is...I think, uh...Yu-i. Yui. That's it. Yui.
Not to worry, I know JUST where to start! On November 9th, in Gun Gale Online, a player called “Death Gun” fired his weapon at an avatar appearing on a monitor. That same day in Nakano Ward, the player of THAT avatar mysteriously died.
