.hack//sign- Promise-- Episode #8

As usual, our episode begins with Mimiru. She is worried and wants to find Tsukasa. But of course, where can she find him? While she talks with B.T., she tells her that she really wants to see him. B.T. sees how worried Mimiru is about Tsukasa, and hopes that Tsukasa gets the e-mail Mimiru sent to him.
Meanwhile, Tsukasa is in his usual misty place. This is the first time we've seen Tsukasa since he teleported away in episode 6. Tsukasa goes back and remembers a flashback. He is at school and watching people play a sport, and they come up to him and appear to be laughing. He goes back to reality and says that he doesn't really want to see Mimiru right now.
Bear is talking with Mimiru. She decides that she is going to just sit and wait for Tsukasa to come back. Bear says it's Mimiru's choice, but it may be a little too much for Mimiru.
Sora is getting restless. Ever since Mimiru blew the chance for him to talk with "Little Tsukasa", he has been going around asking other Wavemasters where Tsukasa is. Anyone who doesn't have any information in killed.
Subaru and Silver Knight are talking, and wondering what they should do. They can't exactly control Sora and make sure he helps them. At least the monsters that started to spring up after Guardian healed them are calming down.
B.T. starts to talk with just Subaru, and says that she is the only smart one. She should figure out what to do with Tsukasa's situation.
Mimiru is sitting down, still waiting. Suddenly she sees him trying to teleport away! She runs to talk to him. When she sees his face, she realizes that it was someone who wore the same clothes as Tsukasa, but a different player. She apologizes for bothering him. Bear comes and sees Mimiru. He soon finds out Mimiru hasn't even slept a wink, all she's been doing is sitting and waiting for Tsukasa's arrival.
B.T. and Crim are talking about a "bigger flow", something beyond Tsukasa. Tsukasa caused a lot of difficulty, but there is something beyond him only few know about. This could be a major disruption to The World.
Sora unfortunately teleports right behind Mimiru. Mimiru hears him and hides under the dock she was sitting on. To fish her out, Sora stuck his Twinblade through the wood. She reluctantly gets up and asks how he found her. He simply tells her that she's been all around the Message Boards. Players have been describing a Heavy Swordsman just sitting around and waiting. Sora asks Mimiru if she set a time. When she tells him she didn't, Sora gives her a valubable lesson. "When you want to meet someone, give them a set time so you can meet!"
Sora sat for a long time til he got really bored and went away. It was the night when Tsukasa finally comes and sees Mimiru. Mimiru tells him that she is going to hang out with him. Tsukasa replies "Do what you like."
Remember the voice that always talks to Tsukasa? Well, that voice is evil. In the episode it talks about Tsukasa knowing nothing about what it's planning to do.

.hack//sign- Reason-- Episode #7

Mimiru, Bear and B.T. are talking as usual. Bear wants to know what Mimiru did to make Tsukasa so angry, but Mimiru won't tell. Bear tells her that Mimiru has to make a decision. She has to either leave Tsukasa alone or continue worrying about him. She gets angry and runs off. Anyone who comes near her would get yelled at.
Once Mimiru was by herself, she wonders why she even met him. She remembers back to the flashaback where she introduces herself. She was so friendly, and he just shook her off. When she continues down further, she finds a little girl standing in the middle of the path. She wants to play, she says. Mimiru says she doesn't have time to. The new player says she wants to go adventuring in a dungeon. Mimiru then informs her that it's the toughest dungeon to go to. Mimiru sees that the player is uneducated, so she asks how long the player has been on. Two weeks, she says. No one will play with the newbie, so she says she is going to leave. She isn't enjoying The World as much as she thought she would. Mimru asks her name, and she tells her her name is A20. Mimiru feels reckless and decides to go with her.
When Mimiru and A20 arrive at the dungeon, they are immediately confronted by a monster. A20 gets scared and asks for Mimiru to help. Mimiru sighs and tries to take out the monster. But the monster is more interested in beating A20. After the monster hits her once, A20 heals. She keeps uselessly healing until Mimiru tells her to stop. Mimiru gets angry and leaves A20 to fend for herself.
Mimiru sees B.T. Mimiru knows that B.T. has been with Bear for a long time. Mimiru asks B.T. what Bear does for a living in the real world. B.T. won't tell her. Mimiru walks off again and wonders why she started playing. Mimiru then finds Subaru and starts to talk with her. Subaru is also worried about Tsukasa, but doesn't want to look for him, because the Crimson Knights were told to leave him alone. Mimru tells her that she should look for Tsukasa as a regular player, not under the name of the Crimson Knights.
Mimiru goes back to the dungeon where she left A20 and sees her sprawled on the ground. A20 says she used her last potion and doesn't have any left. Mimiru heals her and they get going. A20 says she hasn't made as much progress as her classmates, A13 and A15. Mimiru knows now that A20 is just a student number. A20 wants to quit, but Mimiru hates quitting in the middle. They walk until they're face-to-face with the final monster.
Mimiru knows the type of character A20 is RPGing is good with speed, so A20 provides a distraction for Mimiru. She finishes off the monster and they proceed to the treasure. It's a Golden Gruntee, a special item that raises stats a lot. A20 says that Mimiru should have it, but Mimiru refuses and lets A20 take it. It's the first time Mimiru has seen a real Golden Gruntee.
Mimiru sends an e-mail to Bear and B.T. and decides to look for Tsukasa again.

.hack//sign- Encounter-- Episode #6

The episode begins with Mimiru, Bear and B.T. Mimiru is very angry that Tsukasa was captured. She sounds like she is starting to hate B.T. as well. To defend herself, B.T. says that she got info from the Knights by accident. Mmimru was still disgusted, though, because of the lie B.T. told. B.T. defended herself again by saying she heard it from someone, and is not sure if that's true or not. Mimiru wanted to do what she had been contemplating: rescuing Tsukasa!
Subaru and Silver Knight are in the place where Tsukasa is being held. Subaru goes in alone and tells everybody to stay back. She goes in and sees Tsukasa, who is apparently angry. She apologizes for the way he was captured, for it was not her who did it. But when she finds out that the game can physically hurt him, she starts to get worried. She realizes that Tsukasa would be better left alone, after trying to get Tsukasa to talk with no avail. But she just had to ask Tsukasa if he knew anything about the Key of the Twilight. Tsukasa says he doesn't know anything. Another dead end.
Mimru has met up with Sora. He says he knows where Sora is. Tempted by this, she asks where he is. Sora says he won't tell. Mimiru wants to know, so he says he will tell her where he is, but she will have to help him. She reluctantly accepts. She follows Sora to the dungeon where the Crimson Knights are holding Tsukasa. Sora charges in, killing everyone in his way, including Silver Knight. They all lie face down on the floor. Sora sees Subaru and Tsukasa, and tells her that Tsukasa will be going with him now. She refuses, but this gives Tsukasa the time to run. He does. Mimiru and Tsukasa start to run, but they are blocked. It's Crim, and he's not too happy.
He says he won't let them past. He swings his sword, and Sora jumps and stands right on top of it! They get into a heated battle, letting Tsukasa run out into the open. Crim knows that Sora has a lot of good battling skills, but is puzzled by Sora. If Sora has all this power, why doesn't he do good out of it?
Mimiru finally gets a chance to talk to Tsukasa. She firstly tells him she didn't want to help Sora. Tsukasa hates her. He tells her how everyone is so selfish, and teleports away. Sora comes back and tells Mimiru that the battle he had with Crim was a draw. Sora missed his chance to talk with Tsukasa.
Silver Knight, now back online, is talking with Subaru. He wants Tsukasa arrested, but Subaru disagrees, and says that he should be left alone, because the trust between the Crimson Knights and players will diminish. They run into Crim. Crim tells him that's he glad he quit the Crimson Knights, and that Silver Knight can't protect Subaru. This angers him, but he can't do anything about it.
Mimiru is talking with Bear, and asks why he always covers for B.T. She doesn't like how he stands up for a girl who lies all the time. Bear doesn't exactly answer. But then they find out many new monsters are popping up. They show one monster, slashed down, but is then revived by... Guardian??
Subaru is worried about Tsukasa. She doesn't want him watched anymore, and all the new monsters should be left alone, under all circumstances.

I mentioned Crim in the last .hack//sign episode, so if you're wondering who he is, this will help you. 

.hack//sign- Captured-- Episode #5

The episode begins with a look at Crim, a swordsman of lightning. He left the Crimson Knights a long time ago for his own reasons. He sees Tsukasa just sitting there. He asks if Tsukasa needs any help, but Tsukasa says he doesn't need any, and teleports off. Crim knows he's done this before, but scolds himself for not leaving his member address to Tsukasa.
A player walks up to Mimiru and asks her if she'd like to make a group with him. She tells him to go away and tells him she's already meeting someone. When Bear comes up to her, he asks why she's so irritable. She tells him she's worried about Tsukasa. She thinks it's not fair that, because Tsukasa doesn't use the same set of rules the rest of the players use, he's wanted for capture.
In the usual boat scene, Silver Knight is talking to Subaru. He tells her that they've been searching all over the place for the player called Tsukasa, and they have got tips from players, but they've never been able to exactly find out where he is, because all his data is unknown. Subaru starts to talk about him, then this weird thing goes across her, and she tells Silver Knight it's nothing.
B.T is sitting alone, until she sees Sora running. She runs after Sora, until she is in the same position she was in when Sora met her. She says she would like to offer an exchange, but Sora says he doesn't do exchanges. She tells him she knows where Tsukasa is. After hearing that, Sora is interested.
Subaru is called to her palace, but goes without Silver Knight. It turns out Crim had called to her. Crim says he probably shouldn't have called, but Subaru doesn't answer. He says he had to go on a business trip and this was the first time he'd been on in a while. Finally Subaru answers him and says that he hasn't changed a bit. Crim says neither has Silver Knight.
Tsukasa is with his floating woman thing. He slashes the bush, and Maha floats out of it. Maha starts to tell him things, and says that it is Tsukasa's, and not Guardian's fault, that Guardian attacks without his consent. Maha says he needs more heart.
B.T. tells Mimiru that she needs to talk. She tells her something secret, that someone, a heavy swordsman, has the same Guardian as Tsukasa. She knows Mimiru will be telling Tsukasa that, and he will come looking for the swordsman. Sora knew what the story would do, and that would thus lead to Tsukasa's capture.
The plan is being set up. B.T., Mimiru and Bear sit on top of the castle, Sora wants to watch, and Silver Knight and squadrons of Crimson Knights are ready for Tsukasa comes. Finally, Tsukasa comes, and is almost instantly surrounded by the Knights. Bear has figured it out. The story was a lie! It was all a trap!
But it simply doesn't matter to Tsukasa. He simply summons Guardian and the Knights, except Silver Knight, are down. But just as it happens, Crim comes riding in and is ready to attack Tsukasa. Subaru finally shows up to where the plan is being held and is appalled at what Silver Knight did. Guardian tries to whip Crim, but Crim simply dodges the whips and knocks Tsukasa over. Tsukasa is captured and is held by six Crimson Knights.

.hack//sign- Wanted-- Episode #4

Mimiru begins the episode when she is walking around The World when she hears two players talking about a new move that a "Little Wave Master" did. She knew they were talking about Tsukasa. Rumours about him spread like wildfire.
Subaru, accompanied by Silver Knight, is talking with Bear. She says she was looking at Tsukasa's log files, and they said he's been on ten days indefinetely. She wonders what would drive someone to stay on that long? Bear wonders if maybe the files were modified in some way, but Subaru doubts it. Why would someone do something like that.
Tsukasa is with his floating girl thing, and wonders what would happen if he died. There is no answer, and then the voice calls out to him again. The voice says that there is a place Tsukasa can go to, a wonderful place. Tsukasa doubts it, and then asks who the voice is. The voice calls out to him, but never reveals itself. He realizes that it's his mother.
B.T. walks over to Mimiru and tells her that Bear couldn't make it, so she's talking intstead. They get into another discussion on how Tsukasa uses a different set of rules, and they hear a bell. It's Sora. B.T. suggest they go and meet with him; Mimiru is disgusted. When they meet him, they ask why he went with the Knights in the first place. B.T. explains that information comes from the system administration and is sent directly to the Knights, so it's easier to get the info. Then they ask if Tsukasa might have taken the Key of the Twilight. Sora says he doesn't think so by gut.
Silver Knight is getting more agitated about Tsukasa. He says the number of players who are seeing Tsukasa is increasing daily. Subaru says even though it's a problem, they would need more help. She wonders if maybe the Administration should make it harder for him to move by making access restrictions. Sora pops up uninvited. He says they need to talk to "Little Tsukasa". He decides they should put a bounty on his head, put up a wanted poster. Subaru says they shouldn't, yet Sora says it's allowed.
Mimiru meets Bear in the middle of nowhere, and they start to talk about Tsukasa again. Bear says he may have seen Tsukasa, but needs convincing. Mimiru asks what he saw in the real world, Bear says he saw someone in a coma, barely living off feeding tubes. A girl!
Subaru tells Silver Knight that she is uncomfortable. Even though access restrictions were placed on Tsukasa, it didn't matter. Tsukasa did as he pleased still.
Mimiru and Bear find Tsukasa in a server with a single castle. They find him, and he shows Mimiru his control over Guardian. Mimiru is not distracted. She asks Tsukasa the burning question: "Is your player a girl?" Tsukasa answers, "No, I'm a guy." and he realizes they've been snooping. He's disgusted.
Tsukasa teleported away, and is sitting down when four female players attack him. He summons Guardian, and they know they can't win. He tells Guardian to stop after a while, but it doesn't listen!
Subaru knows now that Tsukasa is playing outside the system parameters. She says that Tsukasa is now wanted under the name of the Crimson Knights, in every universe and server.
