With this in mind, Gemini can split into two halves and take the form of the opposite of the couple depending on which half appears before who.

While at first glance this could seem unethical, the designers behind Gemini have long since verified that Gemini itself has no actual mind of its own and whatever mental programming it has is next to non-existent until it takes on someone's form. Due to how these entities worked, selling used versions of them is strictly prohibited due to a design flaw that makes it impossible for them to be recycled. Sales were not very strong initially due to initial controversy, and while the controversy had died down to a distant memory, so to do the Gemini units to the point even though they're still in usage, the general consensus appears to have them {{Deader Than Disco}} despite the fact younger couples have a much better time with them anew as if nothing was wrong, but often acquiring one was difficult since vendors were notoriously difficult to track down.

!! "Unknown"
The light elemental obscured by a black cowl encountered in Chapter 1 of ''Sword Art Online: Special Edition''. It hasn't been encountered again on-screen since then, though some of the key observers of its initial onslaught suspect that perhaps it and Chronicler are one in the same. Regardless, it possesses crucial ability to move like an actual player using the [=MaterialEye=], as the type of attacking and evasion movement it pulls against Kirito is not possible for an NPC character to pull off. It was last observed at Level 60, and is capable of inflicting status ailments that are normally not caused by actual combat alone.
* TheAIIsACheatingBastard: It has somehow managed to replicate the movement of a [=MaterialEye=] player within SAO assuming it even isn't human to begin with, and it is also capable of forcefully inflicting just about every single type of status ailment to ensure its own escape by forcing any would-be pursuers into a massively debuffed state.
* ContinuingIsPainful: When it vanishes, it leaves an immense cloud of smoke that causes the "Deathly Ill" status, which is basically the Resurrection Sickness debuff from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' but one that is under normal circumstances earned through repeated amounts of death and revival in a short manner of time. Hence why it lasts an hour instead of 10 minutes, and how virtually every major stat is given an absurd debuff as a consequence; the only way to cure this version of Deathly Ill is to wait out the timer.

Ken's legs are the weird part; even with their humanoid design, they are still fairly large, making it appear as though Ken has giant feet much like a typical ''Digimon'' design.

!! Stag
A very large ferret hob, and a highly aggressive and dangerous individual at Ryōtarō's household. Having survived a gunshot to the head which for all intents and purposes should've caused his head to explode open and kill him, instead what did explode was his overall sanity, causing him to recklessly kill jills at random, and even orphaned a much younger ferret after having killed its mother and the rest of its litter. Under the right circumstances, Stag can be an eerily calm individual at times when nothing is going on; as a very old ferret, he doesn't tend to do much aside from eat and sleep, and his hearing has degraded to the point of relying on his sense of smell to detect things and tell when feeding time arrives.
* BeyondTheImpossible: His EstablishingCharacterMoment from his backstory; he survived a gunshot to the head which should've caused his head to explode and kill him, but instead the only thing that exploded was his own sanity from that wound.

!! Tsuboi Ryōtarō
* CowardlyLion: While he is a coward, he doesn't really hesitate to get himself into a dangerous situation to protect his friends, ''especially'' when it comes to dealing with Chronicler.
* DigitalAvatar: "Klein".
* HiddenDepths:
** He seems to have an UndyingLoyalty complex to Kazuto and will do literally anything that benefits him or his family, hence why his cowardice is nowhere to be seen when talking to Chronicler in Chapter 21.
** He seems much more acquainted to talking to Chronicler in a calming sense, to the point he comes across as a sort of father figure to Chronicler in Chapter 21. It's hinted that Ryōtarō and Rika are significantly older than Kazuto and Asuna in this fic, although while that's not saying much since everyone got {{Age Lift}}ed, Ryōtarō and Rika are almost in their 30s.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Ryōtarō trying to come across as a father figure in Chapter 21 to Chronicler is because [[spoiler:Rika had asked him prior as to whether or not Ryōtarō finally wants to try and have a child with her, to which Ryōtarō has been trying to do his best to prepare himself for what he knows will be inevitable.]]
* OfficialCouple: With Rika.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He keeps his composure when talking to Chronicler in Chapter 21, practically being completely unfazed by Chronicler and Stormcloud at this point. While true he's a coward, he's not stupid; he's fully aware if his panics at any time right now around Chronicler, he could accidentally provoke Chronicler and cause him to lose control of his powers, which is something Rika also takes into consideration on her end.
* RealityEnsues: His scream of utter terror at a mere giant horse is completely {{Justified}} since everything he knew was reality was completely destroyed by Chronicler taking him directly into SAO, and then even more so when Chronicler assists him in basically aggroing a dragon towards them.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Screams in terror at a giant horse appearing before his face when he's virtualized into SAO directly by Chronicler for the very first time.

Kazuto already knows that Ryōtarō and Rika are married, but he doesn't bring it up unless Ryōtarō or Rika are okay with it.]]

Overall, as a {{Deconstruction}} of this trope, Rika has disowned her parents in the process after the marriage was finished in secret.]]
* RealityEnsues: She tries to speak calmly to Chronicler to try and reassure him in Chapter 21, but Chronicler's ArmorPiercingQuestion asking who she even is has some validity to it; she never properly introduced herself to Chronicler beforehand.
* SecretRelationship: [[spoiler:She is actually already married to Ryōtarō; she just keeps it secret because her parents do not approve of Ryōtarō due to his affiliation with Kazuto's family, but Rika doesn't care because she despises the fact her parents are basically calling Kazuto just as guilty as Ken himself is, despite the sins of the father not translating to the sins of the son.]]
