* [[TragicVillain Eiji]] has quite a large fanbase. He's easily one of the most sympathetic villains in the entire franchise, with him being DrivenToVillainy out of grief. He's also depicted as a [[EvilCounterpart dark mirror]] to Kirito, with the two boys having similar histories in SAO, only with Eiji having a less happier outcome. There's also those who like him just for being [[EvilIsSexy a pretty boy]]. [[spoiler:It seems his popularity has been acknowledged and he's made a full HeelFaceTurn as of the Alicization anime and joined the good guys.]]

* Godfrey, [[spoiler: who is killed off after 4 minutes of screentime]] is this. His bro-ness personality and appearance reminds viewers of another EnsembleDarkhorse: [[LightNovel/FateZero Rider]].

* Ronye and Tiese, the valets of Eugeo and Kirito respectively. These two girls garnered a tremendous following the instant they were introduced, with fans falling in love with how {{moe}} and cute they were. The amount of fanart existing of these two is staggering, to the point where someone unfamiliar with the series would mistake them for MainCharacters. SAO merchandise is all too aware of this and has been marketing these two just as heavily as any of the other main SAO girls.

* The Central Cathedral elevator operator who's briefly seen in Episode 16. Fans' hearts went out to her given she has one of the saddest and most pitiful existences in the Underworld. For 107 years, she's done nothing besides operate the elevator, eat and sleep. She's even forgotten her name and the only thing she wants to do if she's released from her Calling is fly the elevator through the sky.

* Young Alice Zuberg. While Alice Synthesis Thirty doesn't really count given she's permanently joined the main cast, the less featured Alice Zuberg, the {{Childhood Friend|s}} of Kirito and Eugeo is still insanely popular. Taken away from her home at the age of 11, she was kind hearted and bubbly, with Eugeo viewing her abduction as MyGreatestFailure. [[spoiler:She was never allowed to grow up given she was forcefully extracted by the Synthesis process and replaced with Alice Synthesis Thirty.]]
