I mean, to be fair, because of having to cram several plots together Fujino is KINDA doing that a lot, as I mentioned earlier, like, Inoda's 'amazing' skill isn't as impressive as it was before when there is this random guy who runs the brothel that Sugu JUST so happens to have become a top prostitute of who can brainwash girls thanks to some bullshit development thing powered by plot, but that same plot somehow made only Alice be picked up for this and didn't doom Sugu to ALSO end up under the power of the guy you would think would be using it on every girl in the buildingThat would be super lame. Introduce a item that could counter Kirito's rival and it is never seen again? Maybe this will be part of which ending Kirito will get. If Kirito decides to use the item he gets the cuckhold ending and if he chooses not to, he gets the blissful ignorance ending. The item seems too amazing not to use again.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be interesting if the item came back for Kirito to break Inoda's powers later, I just don't see it happening because of how hard Fujino pushes the Suspension of Disbelief to keep the plots separated (And that's before we even get into the soft-confirmation of Administrator this update of how she's also favoring Inoda apparently, which means he has the kinda plot-protection that would prevent him from Kirito getting such an upper hand on him XP).
