His whole gimmick is being a duel wielder, and he was able to afford it (each sword costs 150k and he had 302k).

He def should’ve just bought 2 swords, but the writers just had to nerf him 😭

    Though this is a futuristic VR game so it would be possible to just fumble around with everything all at once and dual wield two single swords, but the author wrote the LN years ago basing it off of the games of the time instead of completely imagining a new concept of VR interaction, so the world of VR games in SAO is constrained to what would be considered “outdated” game logic to their future. So i wouldnt say it was a case of purposefully nerfing Kirito, but accidently because of wanting to incorporate the things they loved into their story instead of being “completely original”.
