YMMV / Sword Art Online Phantom Bullet Arc

• Complete Monster:
  • Shoichi Shinkawa/Red Eyed XaXa is one of the top members of the Laughing Coffin guild in SAO and the resident Master Swordsman, having joined them in the combined murders of hundreds of SAO players. He and other high-ranking members PoH and Johnny Black were often hired to kill other players, such as the Golden Apple guild members. Upon returning back to the real world, XaXa played Gun Gale Online where he discovered several players' real-life addresses and realized this could be used to kill them. XaXa, his brother Kyōji, and later his old partner Johnny Black created the "Death Gun" identity, a mysterious gunman allegedly with the power to kill GGO players in real life through the game. Death Gun's method of killing would involve paralyzing players and shooting them in-game before the real-life accomplice would inject their heart with a toxin to give them cardiac arrest, successfully killing four players. Upon XaXa discovering his old enemy Kirito in GGO, he attempts to kill Kirito's friend Sinon to test if Kirito is the real deal or a pretender.
  • Atsushi Kanamoto/Johnny Black is another top member of the Laughing Coffin guild. As the guild's Master Poisoner, Johnny came up with a way to paralyze opponents so that they could then be tortured to death, and puts this poison into effect during his, XaXa, and PoH's attack on the members of the Golden Apple guild. When discussing what they will do with the captured trio, Johnny expresses a desire to make them fight each other to the death, promising to release the survivor; when PoH notes that Johnny will just kill the survivor, Johnny is disappointed when the surprise gets ruined. Escaping into the real world, Johnny was recruited by XaXa during the Death Gun murders, where he gleefully takes part in poisoning players in their homes, before again making a getaway. After laying in wait for six months, he ambushes Kirito and Asuna on the street, successfully injecting Kirito with poison in a bid to kill him.
