are these like, filler side arc characters we never got to meet?

They're from that totally canon movie Ordinal Scale!  Reki did write the story for the movie at least.  So I guess it was decided to work them into this arc.

IE, the movie introduced a version of the SAO game into augmented reality, meaning the main characters could battle in uniforms and avatars in teh real world, forgetting that's not how augmented reality actually works.

The movie introduced a sleeker, cleaner animation style that all subsequent seasons have mimicked since.

If I remember right the guy was the top player in Ordinal Scale. Yuna died in SAO and her dad recombobulated her as an AI thingamjig.

which means he would have to have written this arc much more recently than everyone keeps saying he did

Right? I'm confused by this. I thought Asuna and the others got way better accounts than this? How do the badguys who have hacked access have better accounts?

They bad guys don't have better accounts.  It's a war of attrition and they just kept spamming more red knights until they wore them down.  Though Vassago and Gabriel's personal accounts are probably pretty good, since they've had them for years.

Hmm. Then why has Asuna seemingly had so much trouble with even scrubs like the red knights? Aside from her big entrance. If they wore her out just from the numbers it felt like she got tired way too fast given how much she should outclass them.

Yep, THAT is his motivation LOL.  His shitty dad made him give up a kidney for his half-brother.  So he hates Japanese because of this and I guess hates Kirito specifically because he looks liken his half-brother?
