They actually skipped a whole chapter in this episode, them being in Zakkaria and taking part in that tournament was like 50 pages worth of Light Novel. Also according to the novels Kirito's sword is actually supposed to be black, Kirito and Eugeo literally call it "The Black One" for quite some time since it doesn't have an official name yet. The description of when Kirito first holds that blade in the novel is quite nice so here it is in case you are interested (if not just ignore it, there is nothing but that scene quoted beyond this point): The pommel was a simple weighted design, and finely trimmed leather was wrapped around the handle. The knuckle guard was on the small side, apparently because it was carved straight out of the wood, rather than being a separately attached part. The exposed parts of the handle were the same semitranslucent black color that I remembered from the branch. The leather was gleaming black, too. The sheath that swallowed up the blade was also finished with black leather. I reached out, tightening my fingers on the grip one by one, and tensed. I’d used plenty of swords before, and they were all VRMMO objects, with the sole exception of the dusty old bamboo shinai at home. But in spite of that—or perhaps because of it—I felt something when I squeezed the handle. A sensation that went from my palm through my arm and shoulder, then shivered down my back. The sensation of holding the Anneal Blade when I got it for my first quest on the first floor of Aincrad. The sensation of holding the Queen’s Nightblade the dark elf queen bequeathed me on the ninth floor. The sensation of holding the black Elucidator longsword that dropped from the fiftieth-floor boss. The sensation of holding the pale Dark Repulser longsword that Lisbeth forged for me. Even the sensation of the legendary Excalibur that I earned at great cost in the fairy realm of Alfheim… A thrill ran through me equal to—perhaps even greater than—the moments I first encountered my various companions throughout my adventures. I was rooted to the spot. When the trembling left, I tensed and yanked the sword out of the black leather sheath. Jriiiing! The ringing sound was a bit deeper than the Blue Rose Sword’s. It was heavy, but without the stiffness of a metallic blade. Yet it was also completely different from a wooden sword. It sounded unbelievably tough and yet fierce. I flipped my wrist up straight, and the end of the sword hummed. “Hrmm,” Sadore grunted. “Whoaaa,” Eugeo marveled. I held my breath and gazed at the blade. It looked to be about exactly as long as my old Elucidator. That only made sense, as I was the one who had snapped off the branch at that length and instructed Sadore how long it should be. The blade was the same deep black as the handle that it was connected to, a single piece of wood. It still had that slight translucence, taking in the light that shone through the window, and occasionally glowing with hints of gold, depending on the angle. It was shaped like an orthodox one-handed longsword, but the flat was a bit wider than the Blue Rose Sword’s. The edge of the bevel slope along the flat had a sharp angle to it and seemed likely to break the skin if you brushed it. The blade itself did not reflect light from any angle; it was as though it cut the light itself. Kawahara, Reki. Sword Art Online 10 (light novel): Alicization Running (English Edition) (S.202-203).
