So, I keep seeing this episode discussions now and figured I would make a post about it so the episode discussions aren’t filled with dozens of comments asking.

So here goes,

It does depend on the pacing. So here is a detailed answer to give you an exact idea based on the current pacing of how much of the LN each episode is covering, where we are at after the end of this episode 5, and how far away that is from Asuna’s entrance.

I don't think the action parts will take up a lot of time. Like the whole tower segment had lots of fights in it and each fight took like 2 minutes top some even less (especially ones like the Berculli one). Plus most of the fighting before Asuna shows up is a lot of monologuing

That’s very true... then perhaps a better approximation would be end of episode 7, midway point or 8, or end of 8. I can’t see it being before that though.

She sure is taking her sweet time, isn't she?

Lol, on a more serious note though, I'm looking forward to her return! Hopefully, it won't serve as the cliffhanger for Episode 12 is all I care about now lol.

After seeing ep 6, I don't think the fight reached its peak yet, so ep 7 seems more unlikely now.

Maybe end of ep 8?

More impressive is how nobody, really nobody at all, cares for Kirito-vegetable and when the MC will come back to activity.

Come on, we learned it from Mother's Rosario: This show is about Asuna-sama and a generic isekai hero. lol



BTW, Asuna probably will come at episode 9-10 and the final clifhanger of this season, in 12th episode, could not be more obvious.

Can you guess? ;) hint: "awakening"

I insist in my bet.

If i would have said that the last scene, the cliffhanger of the 1st Alicization season would be "Asuna arriving for Kirito", the LN readers all would laugh, right?

But it was. :)

My guess is between episode 8 to 11. Kirito won't woke up until part 2.
The cliffhanger probably like the end of volume 16.

If they continue this season to the middle or the end of volume 17, then part 2 will cover volume 18. But it's impossible, because that means they have to cover side stories as well (volume 19 and 20). Unless they adapt both volume 17 and 18 in part 2.

BIG SPOILERS :

Before Stacia appears we have to see Renri backstory, Alice enhance armament scene, Eldrie's death and Iskahn - Sheyta fight, from the preview it seems that episode 7 will focus only on Renri (and I guess we'll see Alice divine art too)... Episode 8 will surely focus on Eldrie's death... Just my idea, but it's likely that Stacia will appear at the end of the episode 9 as a cliffhanger. While Vassago will try to kill Ronie in front of Tiese, a white light will appear in the sky > everyone will stop to look at this light > silhouette of Stacia and BOOM end of the episode

Most likely it will be the final cliffhanger of 9th episode, then the 10th episode will be about her and...




*SPOILERS ALERT*





Episode 11, second to last, is going to be about Asuna spoiling everything about real world to the fuructolaitos people without to care about any trauma or reality shock consideration on them, and also the "Harem girls assembly".

And finally Episode 12 will bring back the SAO survivors Gang (plus Sinon) to the plot, announcing what the next season will be about.



*MORE SPOILERS ALERT - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*


Unless they use the same resort they did to Asuna in Alicization S1, we are not going to see any recovery of Kirito-plant in this season, what i guess will be very disapointing for SAO free-spoiled fans.

Not more than the moment when Kirito finally dies.
