User:Ivan the Brony Kaiju/Workshop:Death Gun PE Removal Proposal


 * NOTE: This is a recreate blog post of this deleted PE proposal, whom previously created by an user. It was saved before it was deleted by one of admins.

Well The Last Time I Did a Proposal. It got terminated, apparently it wouldn't allow newcomers to make it since the rules here "forbidden" them.

Honestly i really don't care right now. Because for Now I am Smart Enough what a PE Villain is. Because today's topic is Death Gun from Sword Art Online.

What's The Work
Sword Art Online (Japanese: ソードアート・オンライン Hepburn: Sōdo Āto Onrain) is a Japanese light novel series written by Reki Kawahara and illustrated by abec. The series takes place in the near future and focuses on protagonist Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki as they play through various virtual reality MMORPG worlds.

Who is He? What has He Done to Cross The Moral Event Horizon?
It All Began The Shinkawa brothers decided to steal a legal master key, as well as high pressure syringes of a muscle-relaxant, called succinylcholine, that could cause heart failure in extremely small quantities from their father's hospital. Then, Kyouji would operate Shouichi's avatar and, at a designated time, shoot the in-game avatar of their target with a Type 54 "Black Star". At the same time, Shouichi would use the key he obtained from the hospital to infiltrate the home of their target and inject the target with the drug at the designated time, causing the player to die shortly after being shot in-game by Kyouji and thus creating the illusion that a gun in-game had the power of killing people in real life. They chose seven targets, who all lived in Tokyo and had an old-model lock that would not leave any records of being opened, or there were spare keys near the door.

However, after the second murder, the brothers discovered that people did not take the Death Gun rumour seriously. Thus, they decided to modify their plan. They planned to kill three players: Pale Rider, Garrett and Sinon, during the third Bullet of Bullets tournament. However, there were problems with executing this plan. Firstly, during the tournament, the brothers would not be able to communicate, making it troublesome to shoot at the same time. This problem was solved by using MMO's Stream's broadcast of the tournament finals to synchronise their actions. Another problem was that they had to move between the homes of the targets to kill them. The brothers chose the trio closest to their home, but while Pale Rider and Garett lived close to each other, Shino's home was farther away. Kyouji insisted to be the one doing the killings in real life this time, but did not have a license to drive a motorcycle, thus Shouichi invited a third member, his partner from Laughing Coffin, Kanamoto Atsushi (Johnny Black), to help with the killing in the real world.

Death Gun made his first appearance in the first episode of Sword Art Online II, in a VRMMORPG known as Gun Gale Online. As a top ranked player named XeXeeD appears on a streamed broadcast via his avatar, "Death Gun" fires a bullet at XeXeeD's avatar through a video screen, causing XeXeeD to suddenly convulse and disconnect. Later, it is revealed that XeXeeD's user was found dead of heart failure a few days after his avatar was shot. There is also evidence of a similar case involving the death of another GGO user.

He appears again at the end of episode 3, grinning hungrily while overhearing an online voice-chat discussing about him and looking at a photo of Sinon.

In episode 5, Death Gun confronts Kazuto Kirigaya, alias Kirito, in the preliminary waiting area, after Kirito won his first qualifying battle for the Bullet of Bullets (BoB) tournament. Death Gun recognizes his name and asks Kirito if he is the "real thing." towards the end of their exchange, Kirito catches a glimpse of a tattoo on Death Gun's wrist and recognizes it as the emblem of the Sword Art Online (SAO) murderer's guild Laughing Coffin. Then, Death Gun states that he will kill him whether or not he is the real Kirito and leaves.

To prove his "true" killing ability to the rest of the world, Death Gun enters into BoB tournament under the alias "Sterben," which means "death" in German. He appears at the end of episode 8, shooting Pale Rider with a silenced stun bullet and is about to finish him, when Sinon shoots at him. However, he easily dodges her bullet and then executes Pale Rider. At this point, Death Gun points his Handgun into a camera and introduces himself to the world, finishing his monologue with the catchphrase "Its Show Time," which was used by PoH, the founder of Laughing Coffin. At this point he disappears, much to the confusion of his pursuers, who as of this point still do not know his in-game alias.

Kirito and Sinon, reviewing the possible BoB members that Death Gun could be, decide to go after Gunner X, who is located in a stadium in the middle of the map. They mistakenly assume he is Death Gun, since Gunner X's name seems the closest possibility due to it having "gun" in it. Death Gun, who is actually called Sterben, ambushes Sinon with a stun bullet, and proclaims that he is going to kill her in order to anger Kirito and make him go berserk. She makes a move to defend herself, but then sees that Death Gun's sidearm is none other than the Type 54 Black Star, the same weapon she used as a little girl to kill a robber in a bank robbery. However, before Death Gun could shoot Sinon, he is interrupted by Kirito, who shoots him in the shoulder with a marksman rifle and then throws a smoke grenade, forcing Death Gun to retreat. He later takes control of a mechanical horse and gives chase to Kirito and Sinon, who are attempting to escape on a motorcycle. During the subsequent chase, Death Gun fires at Kirito and Sinon with his pistol, terrifying the latter. Eventually, with Kirito's help, Sinon fires her rifle and, though the shot misses Death Gun, it hits the fuel tank of a truck, which explodes and forces Death Gun to abandon his horse, allowing Kirito and Sinon to escape.

While the two are hiding in a cave to avoid an impending satellite scan, Kirito pieces together how Death Gun is able to kill people from a virtual world. He uses an accomplice to break into the victim's house and inject a drug in the player's body, so that when they get shot in the virtual world, they appear to die only moments later from said gunshot, when in reality the player is of drug induced cardiac arrest.

While Dark Wind is closing on Kirito, Death Gun appears and decides to kill Kirito himself. However, as soon as Dark Wind is killed, Sinon turns her attention to Death Gun and shoots at him. Death Gun shoots as well and their bullets nearly collide mid-way. Death Gun's bullet destroys Sinon's scope, while she managed to destroy Death Gun's entire weapon. Shortly after this engagement, Death Gun is approached by Kirito, who talks with him for several moments before attacking. Death Gun counters by pulling an estoc from the remains of his sniper rifle. Death Gun appears to have an advantage, assaulting Kirito with overwhelming speed. In the midst of the duel, Kirito has a flashback to his time in SAO, and remembers seeing a picture of a Laughing Coffin member with red eyes. Further reflection allows Kirito to finally remember Death Gun's old name: Red-Eyed XaXa, second-in-command of Laughing Coffin. XaXa is caught off guard by the revelation, but continues his attack, moving in for the final blow. At this moment, Sinon aims her rifle at Death Gun, creating a bullet path indicator and causing Death Gun to panic and disengage while attempting to activate his Nanomaterial Optical Camouflage Mantle. Kirito takes advantage of Sinon's "Phantom Bullet" in order to kill Death Gun, using the willpower and strength he possessed in SAO. Before his avatar dies, Death Gun assures Kirito that their battle is not over and dies.

Heinous Standard
Despite being a In-game Avatar for Shouichi Shinkawa. Death Gun shows No Sympathy or Remorse to the People he has Killed, even in a Virtual World.

He was even Willing to Kill & Hunt Down Sinon Just to Break Kirito & Make Him go Berserk, Which is One of the Worst Things He Attempted to Commit. He Also Seemed to be Cold & Sadistic to Believe in PoH's Principles. But He also enjoys killing other players, even with full knowledge that they would be killed in real life as well, due to relishing the feeling of being feared by others.

Final Verdict/Conclusion
Yes. But that Depends, I Mean, His Heinous Standards are Starting to Match Nobuyuki Sugou.
