Mother's Rosario.
Episode Description:
Months later, Asuna receives an urgent message from Kurahashi that Yuuki's condition had deteriorated. Asuna rushes to the hospital and requests Kurahashi to hook Yuuki up to the Medicuboid one last time. Asuna meets Yuuki at the island, where Yuuki creates a scroll containing her original sword skill and gives it to Asuna. All of Yuuki's and Asuna's friends and allies arrive to see Yuuki in her final moments, fulfilling Yuuki's wish for all of her loved ones to come see her before she dies. After Yuuki's memorial service, Asuna meets Si-eun An, real-life persona of Siune, who has been discharged from the hospital after her successful treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Asuna and Si-eun learn from Kazuto and Kurahashi about the idea of applying the audiovisual bidirectional communication probe for medical technology purposes, thanks to Yuuki's contributions. Asuna is surprised that the Medicuboid designs came from a benefactor, Rinko Koujiro, the doctor who monitored Akihiko Kayaba during the SAO incident, thus Akihiko was the inventor of the Medicuboid. Kazuto and Asuna join their friends for a picnic photo after discussing how the virtual world has benefited them in the real world.
