In this virtual world, Josh would be able to move again, albeit in a limited fashion. Josh didn't hesitate to say yes and began playing on the launch day. That was the day when the infamous SAO events occurred. True to his military past, Josh was not fazed. "Beats being in a damn wheelchair," he said. He trained constantly to aid those around him and to enjoy every second of movement. Eventually, he meets up with Dan Basaka , Saito , Kasai , Seya , and Masamune.
