The very first custom character I created has returned, reimagined, refined, and elevated in a new model for Illustrious.
What? You thought the model’s name referred to a ship? No, no. Nothing of the sort.
Some people have Asuna as their waifu. Others, on the other hand, gravitate toward something closer to GGO Kirito... especially after what Sword Art Online Code Register did. So then… why not both in a single body? Technically speaking, that would be the ultimate SAO waifu, and deep down you know it to be true, regardless of personal preference.
I am far from the first person to explore this idea. Similar concepts have surfaced online for years, though they tend to be short-lived. I honestly do not understand the hesitation. Are people afraid that Kirito’s vengeful spirit will come after them? If so, I will take that risk on your behalf. Should he appear, I am confident I could one-shot him.
This new Illustrious version was built through considerable effort and dedication. I began by creating a base model using various official Kirito and Asuna resources like artworks and anime screenshots. From there, I generated a large number of images using prompts that deliberately blended both characters. After carefully curating the highest-quality results—nearly a thousand images—I trained a second, definitive model for Kirisuna. As a result, unlike the 1.5 version, there is no longer any need to reference Kirito and Asuna separately in your prompts, only Kirisuna exists in this model now.
The model was also trained on what I consider the appropriate physique for this character since they are half-boy, a “canon” body that reflects the fusion itself. Consequently, if you prefer a more traditionally feminine body with pronounced curves, you will need to specify that explicitly in your prompts. When left unspecified, the model will default to the physique it was trained on—namely, a feminine upper body (such as Asuna’s large breasts), combined with a more masculine lower body (straighter hips and a firmer, less rounded butt), all within an overall athletic build.
Since this is a custom character, some of you may want additional context to enrich the concept. I have provided my own interpretation, though it should not be considered definitive. You are entirely free to imagine your own circumstances and narrative for how this fusion came to be.
Consider this model a Christmas gift to yourself—something to enjoy now and carry forward into the new year.
1.5
This model was trained with several official images of Kirito and Asuna and therefore it understands some physical characteristics from regular Kirito, GGO Kirito and Asuna.
Kirito's main prompts are: black eyes, black hair, short hair, hair between eyes
GGO Kirito's are: purple eyes, black hair, long hair, hair between eyes
Asuna's: brown eyes, brown hair, long hair, braid, french braid, crown braid
The idea of the model is to mix these characteristics as you prefer. I usually consider past ideas that Kirisuna would have long black hair with crown/french braid and brown eyes, but you can do it your way. The model will generate the character as female, which is its intention. But if you prefer the result to be something more "exotic" there are ways out there if you look for it.
It's possible to generate Kirito's and Asuna's default clothes, as seen in the examples. But Asuna's is easier than Kirito's due to the more detailed descriptions. Of course, it's also possible to make just Kirito or just Asuna in this model. But why would you want to do that? There are other models of the characters, separated, and with much better quality than this one.
I'm still struggling to make my models to work with Weight 1, but that won't be the case here again, so you will need to scale it down a bit to make it decent.
