Every bit I write the story, the girls become what they are now. And then, somehow, I don't know exactly, but somehow, my subliminal idea or some hidden emotion creates the characters to exist stiff and capable."[iii]

In existent life, Shino wears glasses containing an NXT polymer which could withstand a bullet; although they are not prescription, they provide her with some security every bit a outcome of her trauma.[four] Series artist abec told Dengeki Bunko Magazine that the spectacles had been created as he felt there were not enough characters in the series with spectacles.[5]

When she was two years old, her male parent died in a auto blow.[six] 8 years later, while at a post office, an armed robber attempted to shoot a pregnant woman, simply lost control of the gun after Shino bit his mitt. Afterwards, she shot him 3 times, killing him.[seven] Since, she developed a fear of guns, inbound panic attacks whenever one is visible. As a consequence, she is bullied at school by her peers, with a finger gun beingness enough to trigger her phobia.[8] To help ease her trauma, her friend Kyōji Shinkawa convinced her to play Gun Gale Online.[ix] Known every bit Sinon ingame, her chief weapon is the «PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II» sniper burglarize, which she earned afterwards defeating a monster in a dungeon.[x]

Before long before the Bullet of Bullets (BoB) tournament, Sinon encounters Kirito, deciding to aid him after believing he is female due to his avatar.[11] After Kirito's true gender was revealed, an angered Sinon[12] attempts to get out him, but they meet again during the BoB.[13] The ii are confronted by Death Gun, who causes Sinon'southward PTSD to relapse when his weapon was revealed to be a Type 54 pistol, the same weapon she had used in the post part shooting.[14] She is rescued past Kirito and the 2 escape, though she is afraid to attack Death Gun.[15] With his assist, Sinon overcomes her fear and the ii defeat Death Gun.[xvi] Afterwards, the two terminate the tournament equally co-winners after Sinon kills them both with a «Gift Grenade».[17] Upon exiting GGO, Shino is visited past Shinkawa, who congratulates her on winning the BoB. However, angry at Kirito, he attacks her with intentions of committing double suicide, and reveals himself to be 1 of Expiry Gun's creators.[18] Shino manages to resist his assault and escape, just is stopped by Shinkawa before she could exit the business firm; Kirito arrives and fights Shinkawa, the latter eventually being knocked out by Shino throwing her stereo at him.[19]

In other media [edit]

Reception [edit]

[edit]

[Sinon] is the first recurring female person character in the anime side of the franchise who is non defined primarily by her connexion to Kirito. Instead she is defined by an incident from her past which she cannot escape no matter how hard she tries, one which has inflicted her with the rough equivalent of PTSD. Her newest attempt to get over it is to employ VR technology as a kind of therapy, a fascinating extension of the base of operations technology which is also explored a chip in Aldnoah.Zero but from an entirely dissimilar bending. Ironically, the unreality of a game designed to give the experience of reality allows her to become the person she wants to be in real life: strong, independent, unafraid of guns, and capable [...] She desperately wants to acquire how to transfer that strength into her real-earth self, and her quest to practise so forms one of the core themes of the Phantom Bullet arc.

Theron Martin, Anime News Network[24]

Richard Eisenbeis of Kotaku praised Sinon'due south role in Sword Art Online II, describing her equally "easily the deepest character to come out of Sword Art Online".[25] Besides, Carly Smith of The Escapist establish Sinon to be a "breath of fresh air" in a show like Sword Art Online, which could take "concluded afterwards its first arc, halfway through the first season."[26] In reviewing the 2d episode of the Sword Fine art Online Two anime, Salvador GRodiles of Japanator.com wrote that "Sinon isn't a pushover in boxing" and is also "a strength to be reckoned with",[27] and found her character to be enjoyable.[28] In terminal his review of Sword Art Online II, Sinon's character and story were praised over again, writing "Overall, A-1 were able to wrap upward Sword Art Online Two's Phantom Bullet nicely. We got to see Shino slowly recover from her trauma and the evidence did a decent job in explaining the process behind Shinkawa and his older brother's evil scheme – fifty-fifty if their scheme had some far-fetched elements. To top it all off, they were able fix things up for the next big storyline in the series."[29]

GRodiles besides praised the interactions betwixt Sinon and Kirito after Kirito revealed to her his truthful gender, claiming "the serial deserves some props for the mode how they executed Kirito and Sinon's recent interaction [...] While most viewers might criticize SAO for having Sinon react negatively towards Kirito when he told her the truth, the guy kind of deserved it for non beingness honest with her when they start met. Thanks to this situation, we tin can see both characters develop in a manner that won't turn into a mindless sequence where Kazuto pretends to be a woman; thus destroying any distractions that would prevent the bear witness's plot from moving forward."[30] In a review of the beginning Blue-Ray disc of the Sword Art Online Two anime, Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised Sinon as a "potent female co-atomic number 82", noting how unlike the other recurring female characters of the franchise, she is the only ane not defined by her relationship with Kirito, but rather an incident from her past.[24]

Martin continued his review in role two, where he lauded the writing of Sinon's backstory and sufferance of PTSD equally "masterful", writing "The way she falls apart even in her Sinon persona when faced with a item stressor is quite credible, as is the way she struggles to cope with her crushing fright; she is desperately afraid to die, but even more agape of living with the fear [...] [It] almost seems like a deliberate message is being sent to the audience, and the way she finally finds her resolve and fights back when her life is in serious jeopardy is heartening." He as well praised Michelle Ruff's voice acting in the English dub.[31] Anime News Network's Rebecca Silverman also praised Sinon's portrayal, noting her to be "a much more than interesting character" than both Kirito or Asuna, every bit "what makes Sinon a more successful character than any to previously announced in the primary series is that she has more depth. Rather than existence just a scared or traumatized character, she's someone who is actively working to change herself [...] it feels like this is a turning point for Kawahara's writing skill. Sinon isn't perfectly depicted, simply she's got more going on than previous characters."[32] Sam of The Otaku's Study similarly noted how Sinon already established herself as "one of the virtually developed Sword Fine art Online characters" despite actualization in only 7 episodes thus far, praising her backstory and contrast betwixt her in-game and out-of-game personas.[33]

One time you get by her cold exterior, you'll find a loving person that'll protect you from afar. Which works when y'all're stuck in a gun-based mmo."[43] A Newtype character poll had Sinon placed first in female characters, notably edging out boyfriend Sword Art Online character Asuna.[44] In a fan competition where respondents chose between 41 options for the side by side Sword Fine art Online figurine, Sinon placed fourth (Gun Gale Online version) and ninth (Alfheim Online version).[45]
