Gekijouban Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale

In 2022, a full-dive virtual reality system called NerveGear was introduced by Akihiko Kayaba, revolutionizing VRMMORPGs. By 2026, a new device called the Augma was developed as a competitor to the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. Unlike full-dive systems, the Augma uses augmented reality to immerse players while they remain conscious. It is designed to be safe and easy to use, quickly gaining popularity. The most successful game on the Augma is "Ordinal Scale," an ARMMORPG. Asuna and others have been playing the game for some time when Kirito joins them. Soon, they discover that the game has more to it than just entertainment.
