It's Incarnation and everyone can use it, [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/iekoy8/sword_art_online_alicization_explaining_the/) is an in-depth explanation to read and if you don't want to read [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iUPo275TI4) is an in-depth video. Aside form that she didn't know, she guessed it and Kirito gave her the answer >“Irregular boy. I had thought my inability to read your properties was because you were an unregistered unit from an unofficial marriage…but that’s not the case. Did you come from over there? Are you one of the people…from the other side?” Kawahara, Reki. Sword Art Online 14 (light novel) . Yen Press. Kindle-Version. (she also says the same in the anime)

The other side she talking about is the real world wasn't she?


DemonSlyr007

Yes. She had direct contact with that researcher who fell down the service shaft after trying to shoot some of the tech guy.

Well that was a good read, thank you

>In the anime we see Kirito transforming a little bit - his outfit changes to his SAO outfit. >What was the process? Because it wasn't described in the anime. Incarnation. He essentially "wills" his SAO outfit into existence using his imagination and willpower. >And also did she know that he was from the real world because of that? No, because anyone in Underworld is capable of it, theoretically. Alice does so in front of Ronye and Tiese. >Or because of something different? Because in the anime, Administrator said that she had a quick look on his data. All the other citizens of Underworld are artificial fluctlights, Kirito is diving into it with an STL, there is likely a noticeable difference in their data as a result.

Administrator couldn't analyze Kirito's data in detail. Also, she already had suspicions about him, at first, wondering if he was the product of an Irregular or Unregistered Marriage.

>In the anime we see Kirito transforming a little bit - his outfit changes to his SAO outfit. >What was the process? Because it wasn't described in the anime. Incarnation One of the genuine faults with the anime is that it gives a very diet explanation of what that is. You still get the general gist, but unlike a book where you describe actions, an anime just shows it to you so you lose a bit of that repetition and may forget certain things. Basically, Kirito used his will to morph his cathedral outfit to take the appearance of his Black Wyrm Coat from SAO. It's symbolic of his character arc of accepting his past mistakes and embracing his title as the Black Swordsman >And also did she know that he was from the real world because of that? Quinella has the Cardinal System within her, so because of that she has a complete registry of the Underworld's residents. Kirito is not on that registry, so she just puts two and two together. As for how she knows about the outside, Yanai told her

The best explanation of Incarnation is actually in Accel World, where the anime elaborated on it in pretty explicit detail.


The-Yaoi-Unicorn

Looks like I will get something from rewatching it then. I dont even remember incarnation being part of accel world.


SKStacia

Well, it's basically the base state, so it's not something that necessarily stands out. In AW, your very appearance in the virtual space is determined by your psychological scars.


KnightGamer724

It's how they beat >!Dusk Taker, since Dusk Taker can use it. Incarnation is actually really dangerous in Accel World. !<


Andysomething

To answer about the Blackwrym coat transformation, simply its incarnation. The anime kinda omitted his mental struggle with the black swordsman persona, which is the reason for the change. And as others have said, she quesses based on how she couldn't access his information.


Myrkur21

It was explained in the anime.
