The popular franchise of “Sword Art Online” has given rise to debates and curiosities about its characters, but One of the issues that has drawn the most attention is the size of Suguha Kirigaya's (Leafa) bust.the adoptive sister of the protagonist Kirito. According to a curious episode revealed by Kazuma Miki, editor responsible for several successful works such as “Sword Art Online” and “Toaru Majutsu no Index”, the decision about Suguha's bust was more spontaneous than many could imagine.
Miki, who has overseen more than 500 volumes of light novels and achieved cumulative sales of more than 60 million copies, shared details about the creation of the characters in a recent book. In a meeting during the development of the third volume of “Sword Art Online,” Miki lightly suggested that Suguha's character should have a considerable bust. In his words: “This girl must have a big bust, don't you think?“, referring to the idea that greater femininity would contrast with the strong and energetic personality of Suguha, who practices kendo and has a determined attitude.
What began as a comment to ease the tension of a creative meeting became a key part of the character's design. Suguha went from having no physical reference in the original web version to being remembered, in part, for her prominent bust, estimated at size F. Although this attribute does not completely define his popularity, it has been a trait that has helped the character stand out in fans' memories.
Miki also shared a curious “explanation” given by Abecthe illustrator of the series, who suggested that Suguha's bust growth is linked to the time she spent observing Kirito trapped in the world of Aincrad for two years, thus showing the “power of being a good sister.”
These types of creative decisions, although they may sometimes seem trivial or the product of jokes, show how the visual aspects of a character can influence their reception by the public. And while Suguha is a multifaceted character, her F Cup has been a talking point that has undoubtedly made her more memorable to fans of the franchise.
