I’m guessing that while M pretends to be a real-world genius sniper with his invisible bullet-line skill, she’s the real deal. The real question is what’s up with Pitohui and M’s faceless posse.

Meat shields and providers of weapons for Pito to use, most likely

was there a time when speedwagon didn't get trolled
They're dressed up all tacticool like the pros from episode 1 and directly mention that they're being paid, so they're probably a bunch of pro ringers hired by M to make his hosed up idea of Pito's final battle more "epic".

That was a lot of fun. Really enjoyed Pito going all John Wick on the alliance. Here's hoping that Clarence gets her wish and they do the All Girl League along with Pito and the gymnastics girls by the end of the season or (fingers crossed) in a future season!

She has every weapon because she pays to win, and is also a crazy person. This was a fun enough episode and I'm glad the other teams got to show off a bit and get owned in the case of MMTM, but it also kind of highlights a persistent issue the show has of overexplaining things. It's "show, don't tell" not "show and then tell" guys. The only thing we really got from the scene of real world SHINC explaining their tactic is just more driving home the contrast between how almost everyone except Pito sees death in GGO vs how she and a few others do.

Also big RIP to the machine gun lovers.

The issue with "show and then tell" comes from adapting from an LN, I think. Also as a way to pad out an episode.

The one thing stronger than their passion for machine guns: Bicyclists cosplaying as robots.

Also I don't think the exposition is that bad when interspersed between the action like this episode. It explained where SHINC got the anti-tank rifle and that they got a tip from Sinon, connecting it to the main series for people who have seen it without being obnoxious about it.

It still fits as a 'here's information on this thing for people who haven't watched the first half of SAO season 2' which is probably part of their target audience.

No matter how many episodes I've watched, I still get baffled by LLENN's language and personality when she's in-game.

The crappy-looking fake gore in GGO is amazing and hilarious. That bit where someone disintegrated into a pile of limbs and red pixels after getting hit by an anti-material rifle was great.

I genuinely loved LLENN's bit of "should I really attack Pito after she was wounded?...Yeah, her loving fault". I was really worried we'd get an honour before reason bullshit moment (in a videogame of all things) but I forgot our protagonist's usual bloodthirsty attitude, I guess.

It amuses me that, presumably for brevity, the 3 remaining mask mooks who they were trying to build up as being good if not excellent players managed to defend a stairwell by:

a) Suicide bombing and not killing anyone

b) Rushing down the stairs and standing in the open (and not killing anyone)

c) using a handgun defending the stairwell and somehow not killing anyone.

M should get his money back.

Also, geez, shot-in-the-eye Pitohui was a little freaky, I'm leaning towards M perhaps not uh, exaggerating as much as we thought about her mental state.
