In an interview with series creator Reki Kawahara, the writer noted that the female characters in Sword Art Online were not based on anyone he knew in the existent world, with him stating "I don't commonly make a graphic symbol, setting, or anything before I start writing. As I write the story, the girls go what they are at present. And so, somehow, I don't know exactly, only somehow, my subliminal idea or some hidden emotion creates the characters to be strong and capable." Kawahara too added that he wrote the series to demonstrate that he views online gaming not as a social sick or escape from real life, and thus decided to evidence games in a more positive low-cal in his calorie-free novels.[ane] In another interview with Anime News Network, interviewer Lynzee Loveridge noted that Asuna is a "very stiff, capable female grapheme", likening her to Genji's mother in The Tale of Genji, to which Kawahara agreed.[2]

At Sakura-Con 2013, Kawahara noted that "the character of Asuna I might accept created a little too perfectly for Sword Art Online. When teamed up with Kirito, there were hardly whatever bug the 2 as a pair could non overcome", in response to whether Asuna was a "tricky character" to develop.[iii] In an interview with Haruka Tomatsu, Asuna'due south voice actor, she said that "rather than having something similar to her, I experience that to me, she is the ideal person that I would want to go. After all, she can cook, she's smart... I call up that she's the type of adult female I wanted to go and admired. Leaving aside if I can melt well, though, I really like to cook. I don't really know if I tin can say if we are alike because of that, though."[four]

Abilities

Lambent Low-cal ( ランベントライト , Ranbento Raito ) is Asuna's signature ane-handed rapier. She connected to utilise it equally her chief weapon of choice until the fateful battle on the 75th Flooring. Kirito used this rapier to stab and defeat Heathcliff in the terminal boxing, thus clearing the game. Her rapier, combined with her speed, earned her the nickname "Lightning Flash."

The main heroine of Sword Art Online and main protagonist of the 7th volume, Asuna is a friend and later to exist married woman of Kirito and a sub-leader of the "Knights of the Claret Oath", a medium-sized lodge acknowledged every bit the strongest guild in Aincrad. Being one of the few girls that play SAO and extremely attractive, she receives many invitations and proposals. Asuna is a strong-willed, accomplished player known in-game as the "Flash" for her extraordinary fast sword skill. Later, she falls in love with Kirito and they marry in-game. Towards the end of the SAO arc, she saves Kirito from a killing blow by Heathcliff at the cost of her life. However, her decease was only in-game and she is shortly reunited with Kirito shortly later the decease of Heathcliff.

Despite the completion of SAO, Asuna remains unconscious and is instead detained in some other virtual reality called Alfheim Online. She is forced to play the role of "Titania the Queen of Fairies", with Nobuyuki Sugō, the man responsible for imprisoning her, playing as Oberon the Fairy King.

Reception

Cherami Leigh has received praise for her performance as Asuna in the English dub.

Asuna finds that she feels more at home in the recreated Sword Art Online than in the real world. For ii years in the online world, she was a warrior in charge of her own destiny and helped lead others in their fight for freedom. In the real earth she's the heiress to a rich and distinguished family full of CEOs and politicians and is thus expected to go to the best schools, get the all-time grades, get a highly respected job, and ally an influential high-society human being — her whole life has been planned out for her since birth. In that location is no room in the plan for spending time in an online game with her friends, going to a not-summit tier school, or loving a normal boy. Much of [...] Asuna'south struggle with who she is and who she wants to be as she is pitted against her overbearing, intolerant mother at home.

Richard Eisenbeis, Kotaku[5]

In a review, Richard Eisenbeis of Kotaku hailed Sword Art Online as the smartest serial in contempo years; Eisenbeis peculiarly noted how the romance between Kirito and Asuna is explored bringing "definition to exactly what love is similar in a virtual world."[vi] However, in the second half of the novels, criticism was levied at the aspect of turning Asuna into a dryad in distress trope, stating that a strong female lead was "reduced to nothing but the quest item the male lead is hunting for."[vii] Eisenbeis farther complained that "in the first arc of Sword Fine art Online, Asuna was a potent fighter and i of the leaders who thousands depended on to get them through the decease game live. In the 2d arc, she was powerless, locked in a literal bird cage and molested by her captor while waiting for her hero to rescue her. In Gun Gale Online, she was fiddling more than a spectator cheering on her man. And even in Calibre, she was just another member of the ensemble cast."[viii]

Responding to this criticism, Karen Mead of Japanator.com disagreed, writing that "in Asuna's example, her actions are instrumental to her own rescue; if she hadn't broken out of her cell and gone exploring late in the show, Kirito wouldn't accept gotten the carte he needed to become to where she was and rescue her", thus invalidating her role as a damsel in distress technically, though the criticism itself was notwithstanding seen equally valid. The claim that Kirito serves as a "Gary Stu" blazon character was also contested, citing his relationship with Asuna.[9] Nevertheless, Eisenbeis praised the fourth arc of Sword Fine art Online as it focuses primarily on Asuna's betoken of view – an "excellent choice" in his opinion, as it "allows Asuna, who suddenly went from stiff female person lead to weak damsel in distress in the serial' second arc, to once again come up into her own and develop as a character." The arc every bit a whole was called "both heartbreaking and beautiful."[5]
