Although an arguably less important character than Shin ’s dear Schnee , Girart ’s tale is touching because the instant they see each other for the first time inThe New Gate , their reunification essentially acts as one farsighted final goodbyethat had no other conclusion than Shin having to do an unthinkable labor – ending Girart ’s lifetime . What makes this whole tragic spot bittersweet , and more in effect story - wise , is that it was made at Girart ’s own postulation , because it would concede him the only compliments he had forget after his unnaturally protract life . The fact that the serial publication also touch to the fact that Girart lived as long as he did out of a desire for that wish to be forgather put even more grandness on Shin granting this tragic wish for his champion , despite the obvious cost it would later take on Shin .
This whole dynamic would n’t have been as efficacious if Shin never had this former family relationship with Girart , and it ’s one that all borrows fromIn The Land of Leadale . Even worse , the series also foreshadows an even more tragical version of these events with Schnee , a graphic symbol who clearly loves him and who Shin cares profoundly about .

The tragic twist , however , is that , inSAO , Kirito could still meet Asuna after leaving Aincrad since Asuna was also a human player . InThe New Gate , Schnee is a mathematical product of the game , and will be left behind once Shin returns home .
