Everyone looks so expressive and jolly...except Kirito. He looks like a blank slate.

To me, he looks smug, as if he's rubbing his harem into everyone's face. Like, "look at all the b*tches I get. Are you this popular? I don't think so, loser."

And right here we have the two main complaints of Kirito's character lmao

Ah, SAO. You glorious train wreck, you. Looking forward to the movie.

Is that really Yui in front (and who's got her sash)? Seems a little wrong to have her as a shrine maiden, though I know this is promotional only. As for faces, I'd say Kirito has a look of confident determination. I'm supposing the look of a husband/father is intended, though harminia's interpretation also works. But what is that expression on Liz, "you might get lucky"?

Yeah, it would be. If you mean the purple sash, that's Kirito's and it's his hand holding it. All the girls have red sashes (they're all shrine maidens). (It's a confusing picture)
