Sword Art Online Season 2 Fandub
Project Overview
What is this?
This is a CastingCall for Sword Art Online Season 2 Fandub. The characters present in this CastingCall will be characters seen in the Phantom Bullet Arc, the Calibur Arc, and the Mother's Rosario Arc.
Summary
It has been a full year since the end of the Sword Art Online incident and ten months since the end of the ALfheim Online incident. Although things had returned to normal for some time, mysterious incidents occur in another VRMMO game, called Gun Gale Online (GGO). In two instances, a player in the game is shot by a mysterious person in a mantle who calls himself "Death Gun", and the shot player mysteriously disconnects after a few seconds, only for their real body to be found dead days later. After the second such incident, Kazuto Kirigaya (Kirito) is asked by a member of the VR Crimes Division, Seijirou Kikuoka, to investigate the rumours that the incidents in-game are related to the deaths of the players in the real world.

DESCRIPTION
Si-eun An, known as Siune in "ALfheim Online" (ALO), is a supporting character in Mother's Rosario. She was the second sub-leader of the "Sleeping Knights", a guild of terminally ill patients who met in Serene Garden and played various virtual reality games as a form of palliative care. Si-eun had played a variety of virtual reality games, including Insect Site, until the guild eventually arrived to ALfheim Online, where Si-eun chose to be an Undine.
PERSONALITY
Si-eun An is kind at heart, but also somewhat sensitive and emotional. Si-eun is not as emotionally resilient as Yuuki, as she was ready to give up many times, but, after meeting her and learning that she had been going through the same pain all her life, Si-eun forced herself to continue.
VOICE

My name is Siune! It's wonderful to meet you! And thank you so much for coming today!
That's the catch. If we want the names of everyone in the Sleeping Knights up on that wall. WE have to beat the Boss together. Just us. No one else. So we talked it over and came up with a plan. A party can have up to seven players, max. Therefore, we decided to find someone as strong or even stronger than our most powerful player, Yuuki. (Yuuki looks embarrassed) And hope whoever we found accepted our invitation. (Yuuki nervously scratches her head)
DESCRIPTION
Nori is a supporting character in Mother's Rosario. She is a medium-range, damage-dealer member of the Sleeping Knights, a guild of terminally ill patients who met in Serene Garden and played various virtual reality games as a form of palliative care. Nori had played a variety of virtual reality games, until the guild eventually arrived to ALfheim Online, where Nori chose to be a Spriggan.
PERSONALITY
Nori, like all Spriggans, has darker skin, gray wings and black hair. However, she has thick eyebrows and lips, as well as a large physique which are not common traits among Spriggans. In battle, Nori is equipped with comfortable, non-metallic armour with a black choker and a long steel quarterstaff that almost touches the ceiling of an inn.

You REALLY need to get a grip on those nerves, Tal. Seriously. Every time you meet a girl, you turn into a blubbering mess. Anyway, my name's Nori! Glad to meetcha!
Geez, we got our butts kicked! What kind of attack WAS that? That's gotta be against the rules.
DESCRIPTION
Natsuki Aki is a nurse who works for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) and was assigned by Seijirou Kikuoka to oversee Kazuto Kirigaya's medical condition at "Chiyoda Hospital" when he was hospitalized as well as during his rehabilitation. She is later assigned to watch over Kazuto during the "Death Gun" incident and after Kazuto is injected with succinylcholine.
PERSONALITY
Natsuki Aki graduated from the "Tokyo Self-Defense Senior Nurse Academy". Since the Nursing Academy is affiliated with the Self-Defense Force, those who enroll in the Academy are treated as recruits entering the army. This is why Natsuki not only became a nurse but also received the rank of Sergeant First Class in the JGSDF, and should have been working in the Self-Defense Force's hospital.

(resting his head on her shoulder) I'm sorry, Kirigaya. I guess I'm not the “awesome counselor” I thought I was. I wish I could take away the burden you're carrying, or at least help share the load of it. What do I know? I've never even played “Sword Art Online”. When you say you “killed someone”, I don't even know what that means. But…there's one thing I know. When all's said and done, the reason you did what you did…was to save someone else, wasn't it?
Of course he will. His Fluctlight's stable so far, and his neural network's on the mend. All his vitals are looking good, too. He is a tough cookie. He's the one who cleared SAO, after all. (Asuna puts her hand on the glass, the ring that Kazuto gave to her is visible. Koujirou looks to say something, then looks down)
DESCRIPTION
Kyouko Yuuki is one of the main characters of the Mother's Rosario side story. Kyouko is the wife of Shouzou Yuuki and the mother of Asuna Yuuki and Kouichirou Yuuki
PERSONALITY
Kyouko Yuuki was a cold person who had resented being born in a family of farmers and desired a better future for her daughter. To achieve this, Kyouko was willing to regulate various aspects of her daughter's life, from her education institution to her future spouse. This was reflected in her strict parenting style as well, such as demanding her daughter to come to the table at a specific time, forcefully expelling her out of FullDive when she was late and threatening to confiscate her AmuSphere.
VOICE

It hardly qualifies as “meeting” if you're using that toy! Besides, doing your homework is not a TEAM activity. If you're with your friends, you'll just fool around. (takes a sip of her drink) Asuna, you don't have time to play around anymore. You're TWO years behind everyone else. You should be studying as hard as you can to make up for all that lost time.
Enough, young lady! I don't want to hear about him in this house again! And you're wrong. It wasn’t MY choice. It was your father's. HE suggested that crook marry into this family! He's never been a good judge of character. But don't worry. Yuya might lack initiative, but he seems stable. And stability is the cornerstone of marriage.
DESCRIPTION
Miso is one of the members of Dyne's squadron in Gun Gale Online.
PERSONALITY
Miso took part in an attempt to ambush a mob-hunting squadron in a wasteland field. As their targets were taking longer than expected to reach the ambush point, Miso spent the free time he had by checking on his gun. After some time, their target was spotted and, after Dyne told Sinon which player to target first, Miso and the others proceeded to get closer to the squadron to be ready to engage them.
VOICE

Yeah, man! This ain't the time or place to respect your solo status!
DESCRIPTION
Urðr (transliterated as Urd or Urdr) is one of the rulers of the Beast-type Evil Gods in ALfheim Online and the NPC that gives "The Holy Sword of the Ice Palace" quest, the real quest for acquiring the "Holy Sword Excalibur".
PERSONALITY
Urðr was created by the Cardinal System’s Automated Quest Generation function, which based the character on a myth from Norse mythology. Unlike most quest NPCs, Urðr's core programming is connected to the language engine module, therefore, instead of having a fixed response routine, she has a certain level of Artificial Intelligence and is thus capable of much more flexibility in her dialogue routines as well as sounding far more realistic than a regular NPC.
VOICE

(closing her eyes) In the past, Jotunheim was similar to your Alfheim. Covered in lush greenery and beautiful lakes, it basked in the blessings of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. We, the Hill Giants, lived in peace and harmony with our kinfolk, the creatures. Far below the splendor of Jotunheim is a realm of ice and snow known as Niflheim.
You removed Excalibur from its plinth! The quest has been completed! Now that the sword, which slices wood and iron is secure, Jotunheim can return to its former glory. It is all thanks to you and your bravery. My younger sisters would also like to express their gratitude towards you.
DESCRIPTION
Verðandi (transliterated as Verdandi or Verthandi) is one of the NPCs that are part of "The Holy Sword of the Ice Palace" quest.
PERSONALITY
Verðandi was created by the Cardinal System’s Automated Quest Generation function, which based the character on a myth from Norse mythology. Unlike most quest NPCs, Verðandi's core programming is connected to the language engine module, therefore, instead of having a fixed response routine, she has a certain level of Artificial Intelligence and is thus capable of much more flexibility in her dialogue routines as well as sounding far more realistic than a regular NPC.
VOICE

My name is Verðandi. Thank you, ‘o brave fairy warriors. To think I can gaze upon a green Jotunheim again. (sighs) It's like a dream.
DESCRIPTION
Skuld is one of the NPCs that are part of "The Holy Sword of the Ice Palace" quest.
PERSONALITY
Skuld was created by the Cardinal System’s Automated Quest Generation function, which based the character on a myth from Norse mythology. Unlike most quest NPCs, Skuld's core programming is connected to the language engine module, therefore, instead of having a fixed response routine, she has a certain level of Artificial Intelligence and is thus capable of much more flexibility in her dialogue routines as well as sounding far more realistic than a regular NPC.

And my name is Skuld. You have my thanks and respect.
DESCRIPTION
Thor, disguised as Freyja, is a supporting character in the Calibur side story. He is one of the Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that are part of The Holy Sword of the Ice Palace quest in ALfheim Online (ALO).
PERSONALITY
When disguised as Freyja, Thor first appeared as if he was a helpless woman, however, after being freed, it was revealed that he was actually a strong, determined person, as seen by how he refused to retreat in order to retrieve his lost treasure, as well as how he responded to Thrym's question about their marriage. After revealing his true form, Thor was revealed to be a vengeful character, as shown by how he felt about Thrym's theft of his hammer.
VOICE
"Mela Lee"
- female adult

I will NOT become your wife! These warriors and I are here to put an end to your reign of evil! Return my treasure immediately!
Swordsman. If we continue this course of action, we will not defeat Thrymr. There is but one hope now. Somewhere in this room, hidden in the plunder, you will find the treasure of my people.
DESCRIPTION
Thrym is the boss located on the 4th (last) floor of the inverted ice pyramid dungeon known as Thrymheim in ALfheim Online as well as the boss required to be killed for The Holy Sword of the Ice Palace quest. Unlike the bosses of New Aincrad, Thrym's three large Hit Point (HP) bars are visible to players. He is the main antagonist of the Calibur side story.
PERSONALITY
Thrym was one of the Non-Player Characters (NPCs) created by the Cardinal System's «Automatic Quest Generation Function», thus the character was based on the Nordic legend of Thrym while the created character possessed a much higher degree of intelligence than usual NPCs as the NPC's core programming is connected to the language engine module, thus, instead of having a scripted response routine, Thrym is able to change his speech according to the situation to some extent. Because of this, he is much more realistic than usual NPCs.
VOICE

(chuckles) Winged ALfheim insects. Have you burrowed down here on the whims of Urðr? The trollope? Wretches! How dare you enter here! Did you think you could STEAL my treasure? If you tell me where I can find that woman, I shall give it ALL to you gladly.
(scratching his chin) Yes. That's the spirit, my lovely. I would expect nothing less from the woman whose beauty and valor are known throughout the land. And as they say, the more noble the flower, the more satisfying it is to pluck. After I've SNUFFED the life from these insects, I shall shower you with EXTRA affection. (laughs as the group glares at him)
DESCRIPTION
Sachie Oosawa is a minor character in the Phantom Bullet Arc. She used to work at the Third Block (Sanchou-me) Post Office in Shino Asada's hometown, where Shino saved her from a drugged robber. After the post office incident, Sachie gave birth to Mizue Oosawa, a girl she had been pregnant with during the robbery.
PERSONALITY
One Saturday afternoon in late 2020, Sachi was working behind the counter when a man entered the building and brandished a pistol, ordering the staff to fill his bag with all the money they had. Shocked by the man shooting one of her colleagues for pressing the alarm button, she stood frozen with terror when the robber pointed his gun at her, unable to take action as Shino intervened and killed the man in self-defense during their struggle. When her husband received a transfer after Mizue was born, Sachie moved to Tokyo, desiring to forget about the post office incident.
VOICE

Sachie Oosawa. You're Shino…Asada…aren't you? I'd like to introduce you to my daughter. Her name's Mizue. She's four years old.
I'm sorry. This is really hard. See, I…I should have done this AGES ago. I'm so sorry it took this long. I never apologized, or thanked you for what you did. (so wipes the tears from her eyes. She pats Mizue on the head) I was pregnant with her the day that man came in and tried to rob us. What you did. It wasn't just MY life you saved. You saved the life of my little girl, too. Thank you so much. (she bows) If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be here. (Mizue bows)
DESCRIPTION
Endou is a girl who attends the same school as Shino Asada and abuses her for her personal gain.
PERSONALITY
Endou is a manipulative person who approached Shino and pretended to be her friend just to be able to use Shino's home for personal use and as a place to stay overnight after getting drunk.
VOICE
"Collen O'Shaughnessey"
- american
- female teen
I need a favor. We sort of went overtime at karaoke, and now we don't have enough cash for the train home. We're gonna need about ten. (Endou puts a finger up) We'll pay you back, though.
(chuckles) Poor Asada! You know my big brother? Well, he's got a buttload of these model guns. (Endou slowly walks towards Asada) Wouldn’t it be cool if I brought some to class? I know you like guns. Especially PISTOLS.
DESCRIPTION
Akiyo Sada is a housekeeper working for the Yuuki family. She has two children: one in junior high and the other in primary school.
PERSONALITY
Akiyo is a petite woman in her early forties. She has medium-long brown hair that is tied at her back, while two large forelocks part to the sides of her face. She also has brown eyes and a mole below her lip on the left side of her face.
VOICE

Not at all. Really. Just doing my job, Miss.
Kouichirou phoned to say he won't be in ‘til late tonight. And your mother is waiting in the dining room.
DESCRIPTION
Shino Asada, known as Sinon in "Gun Gale Online" (GGO), "ALfheim Online" (ALO), as well as "Project Alicization", where she had temporarily used the Solus account, is the deuteragonist of the Phantom Bullet Arc and one of the main characters in the War of the Underworld sub-arc of the Alicization Arc.
PERSONALITY
Calm and cool are two words that best describe Sinon's personality. In battle and most of the time in the game, she keeps a cool head. It is actually said that Kirito is the first one to make her extremely angry. Despite all this, Sinon, while perhaps hard to approach, is generally a friendly person and does not mind helping others.
VOICE
"Michelle Ruff"

Yeah, but for a strategy, it was a fail. I mean, we started the op with six and lost four by the end of it. If that's the outcome of an ambush WE set up, it's not much of a win, you know?
But in this world, I don't have those problems. And that got me thinking. If I can become the strongest player in the game, then I'll be strong IRL too. And maybe even forget what I did. But just now. I mean, when Death Gun had me pinned, I was terrified. And just like that, I wasn't Sinon anymore. I was the real me again. I'm scared to die. I am. Although…what's worse is living with this fear. It's so painful, I'd rather be dead. (she wraps her arms around herself) But I know…if I run away from Death Gun…in my past, I'll end up weaker than before. I will. I know it.
I suppose as vets, there's a predictability to how we play. We tend to use the same moves ‘cause they work. Which brings me to why YOU'RE here. (points at Kazuto with a gun sign) I was thinking that a player with a more CHAOTIC fighting style might have a better chance at outmaneuvering Subtilizer. Anyway, the point is…the next BoB's gonna be happening at the end of the year. And I'd like YOU to sign up for it.
DESCRIPTION
Thor, disguised as Freyja, is a supporting character in the Calibur side story. He is one of the Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that are part of The Holy Sword of the Ice Palace quest in ALfheim Online (ALO).

You despicable giant! Your treachery and deceit has come to an end! And now you shall pay for stealing Mjolnir!
(turns) You have my gratitude, brave fairy warriors. Thanks to you, my treasure has been returned and my disgrace avenged. Now then, I must reward you. (his hammer glows, and a gold diamond falls down to Klein, revealing another Mjolmir) That is Mjolnir: the Lightning Hammer. Use it in noble battles. Farewell, my champions. (he uses Mjolnir to teleport away)
DESCRIPTION
Kurahashi is a supporting character in the Mother's Rosario side story and Ordinal Scale. He is in charge of the long-term care department at the Yokohama Kōhoku General Hospital and was Yuuki Konno's doctor since she was little. He had been helping her overcome her human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and was the one who persuaded her to use the Medicuboid.
PERSONALITY
Doctor Kurahashi has a small build and is slightly plump. He wears glasses and the hair on his shiny forehead is parted on one side with a ratio of seven to three. Asuna described Kurahashi as being in his early thirties.

Uh-huh. (picks up his cup) She also said she didn't tell you where she was. So I said, “don't worry about it, she's not going to find you here”. When reception told me you were in the lobby, I was shocked.
Yuuki was born in May of 2011. But there were complications…and the doctors had to give her mother a C-section. Her mother was given a transfusion during the procedure. But unfortunately the blood they used was contaminated with a virus. (Asuna gasps) They didn't find out about it until September…when her mother was having tests run for an infection she got. But by that time…the whole family had been infected. (the two of them stop outside of a room. Asuna looks at the door in disbelief and shock. Kurahashi scans his badge, opening the door) This way. (the two enter the room, and the door closes behind them) We have to keep the room on the other side of the glass hermetically sealed, so this is as close as you can get. I hope you understand.
DESCRIPTION
Jin is one of the members of Dyne's squadron in Gun Gale Online.
PERSONALITY
Jin took part in an attempt to ambush a mob-hunting squadron in a wasteland field. As their targets were taking longer than expected to reach the ambush point, Jin spent the free time he had by checking on his status window. After some time, their target was spotted and, after Dyne told Sinon which player to target first, Jin and the others proceeded to get closer to the squadron to be ready to engage them.
