Kazuto Morisato Table of Contents

Summary: We never did learn Kazuto's parent's names. Now we get to find out what would happen if Kazuto happened to be a demigod that hasn't been seen since the beginning of the Judgement Gate policy.

As can be guessed, this is an 'what-if' Kazuto Kirigaya was the son of Keiichi Morisato and Belldandy. Surprisingly, this only required a few changes to Sword Art Online canon. First, Suguha's mother and Kazuto's adopted mother is now Megumi Kirigaya not Midori Kirigaya. From there, we changed the fact that she was Kazuto's mom's younger sister to her being the younger sister of Kazuto's dad. Second, there are now reasons for why Kirito was able to break all sorts of rules in Sword Art Online rather than his pure willpower overpowering both the programming of the game and Cardinal. Third, Kayaba Akahito's ability to produce a ground-breaking 3D virtual reality game with such a wide range of graphics and sensory interfaces without it taking decades has a reason. Other things will show up such as Klein's real name being different but mentioning them this early will result in spoilers.

The entire story takes place after Belldandy and Keiichi's marriage at the end of the manga for Ah My Goddess. However, if you look at the dates, you will discover that it probably doesn't hold water. I have only two things to say to that:

One: (Jedi mind trick) You do not notice any timeline inconsistencies. Please read and review the following chapters while under the control of the Jedi Mind Trick.

Two: Have a strong enough will to resist the Jedi mind trick and I will arrange for Hagall to drop by and put you under hypnosis. If she is too busy, then I'll get Urd to give you a potion. If she is busy watching her soap operas and dramas, then I'll have Skuld do it. And I won't take away either her debugging hammer or Texas Murder that she has repaired. The power of the author is amazing (Deus ex Author!). Mock not at your own peril.

Canon Compliancy

This is the story line that shows how this what-if could be part of Sword Art Online canon. It just didn't show up in what we saw.

1. The Unfortuitous Accident (Genre: Drama)

As astute observers will observe, this story must have taken place sometime after Belldandy gave birth and Megumi getting married. Answers "How did Kazuto Morisato end up being adopted by the Kirigayas?"

2. Visiting an Old Home (Genre: Family)

Megumi takes her nephew to his parent's house. Answers "How did Kazuto end up with a motorcycle within a year or two of escaping Aincrad?"

Kazuto the Interim Wish-Granter

This storyline explores what if Kazuto was raised by Belldandy and Keiichi. When his relatives, including Tyr, learn that he is trapped by Kayaba, they try to get him free. The best they can do is to give him a temporary license as a wish-granter and the full shares from the energy that is used to fulfill the wishes of the people trapped inside SAO. Now a demi-god will face Cardinal, Kayaba, and Aincrad. But is a half-trained teenage third-class, temporary 2nd category, temporary unlimited demi-god enough to beat the greatest AI on Earth?

1. The Goddess Relief Office's Temporary Intern for Aincrad, the Start (Genre: Adventure)

Kazuto was ready to start playing Sword Art Online. Until a phone call from his grandfather came.

I have decided to try a new style of writing. Rather than weaving one story together, this will be a collection of a series of shorts, some linked together, some not. When I first started this, I intended to do just Canon Compliancy. However, I then went "Ooh, what if Kazuto was made an intern Wish-granter for SAO?" And I liked the ideas enough that I was tempted to abandon Canon Compliancy to write that. But I didn't want to adandon Canon Compliancy since it's existence helped Interim Wish-Granter be better. So I decided to do both.

Updates will be irregular.
