THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Alice is a cool girl, a bit serious for a personality though. Seems Kirito and Eugeo are being punished after their recent actions. I call BS on that. The guys they took out deserved it if you ask me.

About time we got to see Asuna in real life again. It's been awhile. The mystery thickens regarding Kirito and Eugeo's connection to Alice. Sure didn't take long for them to break out. I'm also kinda keen on the technology going outside in the real world. (that robot for instance).

Hope Kirito and Eugeo can get out of their mess now that Eldrie Woolsburg is here.

Eugeo guy trying to touch her, but she hit him because she doesn't know him.

Kouhais brought their swords before sending to the jail.

Back to Asuna girl and she met a robot. Just one day spent for them since last time?

Discussing about the function of the robot and getting improved. To put data from another world to here? And there's second model in progressing.

A guy (or probably the second model?) seems to talk to Asuna girl?

Talking about Alice girl, a possibility of getting memory erased.

So needing level of 38. Using each other's chain? It is successful. And use that broken chain to break the door. They ran out so easy. Then seeing many flowers.

Wondering what Alice girl think of her own origin...

Meeting a knight. So they knew they will escape?

It's funny how a few episodes ago fans were talking trash about Tieze and now it turns out she's the one who genuinely loves Eugeo while Alice became a slave of the rules and follows them without hesitation.

Good episode.

Looks like Alice does indeed not remember them, that's kinda sad.

Asuna. :D
It was nice to see her again but Ichiemon stole the show if you ask me. Robots ftw! xD

Am I correct in assuming those two scientists that Asuna passed were actually Humbert and Raios or I guess more correctly housed the fluctlights that were those two? I guess that grin made me weirdly suspicious.

Kirito and Eugeo breaking out of prison was cool but I'm just surprised that guard never woke up after they busted the door. :3

Fight against an integrity knight next episode should be cool.

A tense but nonetheless interesting ep. Eugeo's reunion with Alice isn't exactly the type he had in mind i guess. Alice sure has changed much over the years though trading her warm nature with a cold and harsh one. The words that Tiese and Ronie exchanged with their former masters sure was heartwarming. The robot scene with Asuna was pretty cute. Higa's names for the robots though lol. AI's like the fluclights will be a boon for humanity if they can be used. That was quite creative in making use of their object authority to use the chains to destroy each other. Eugeo's reaction on potentially losing Kirito due his memories returning sure was amusing. Looks like Kirito and Eugeo will be facing their first trial sooner than expected in the form of integrity knight Eldrie. Looking forward to next week.

A pretty calm episode, but Eugeo and Kirito have encountered some trouble now that an Integrity Knight has shown up. Despite making it past an incompetent guard who somehow wasn't awakened by slamming chains and broken down doors, escaping wasn't going to be that easy.

Ok so Asuna saw a robot called Ichiemon, but when she and that other female scientist were making their way to the cafeteria, she somehow saw someone she knew, so that can either be the one who injected Kirito with the poison since the were some focus on the way he walk (remember the part where Kirito stabbed the crazy guy in his tight?) or could be someone that had kept Asuna longer in the SAO world in season 1.

Kirito and Eugeo's bromance is going well. Good thing the interlude at rath lasted only for 5 minutes. Slightly disappointed that they skipped mentioning the importance of "sacred flowers" for doing magic and how rare rose is compared to other flowers. Eldrie looked as good as I imagined him to be. Hyped for the next episode's fight.

I wondered if it was possible to use the chains as a tool, and it was possible it seems. lol. However, I am surprised that the church didn't predict this outcome and use chains that are appropriate for the prisoners.

Kirito and Eugeo are too cute together. I hope Eugeo is also a real human. They did say there was one more person like Kirito in the Turtle.

Asuna accidentally said "ssu". This was the only time, throughout SAO, that I thought she was cute.

Why are some people trying to kill Kirito? Isn't he just a kid? How old is he outside the game?

For the first one, it's just a suspicion. From the grin I just thought that it could be a possibility that those two were the ones who were the basis for the fluctlights that were Humber and Raios. Since there are fluctlights that were based off grown people and Kirito himself was pretty much one.

I'm not really sure how you can defend the guard at all, it was clearly a little plot convenience. I don't mind it but that was definitely real convenient that they bust open a door making so much noise and the guard who's entire job is to make sure that no one breaks out of prison is basically unfazed and just snoozing. If chaining people was all that was required to stop prisoners why in the world do prisons have so much security?

Alice finally makes her appearance as an Integrity Knight.
Eugeo couldn´t believe that Alice is in front of them, is a shame that Alice push him away and also threatens him, which means that Alice does not remember them.
The farewell of Tiese and Ronie was a bit sad, Alice showed a little mercy and let the girls say goodbye to their mentors.
Kirito and Eugeo are locked in the central catederal waiting for their interrogation and finally their execution.
In the episode we have a parenthesis and we return to Ocean turtle, where we see Asuna still worried and unable to cooperate, then we are given an introduction to what appear to be robots that will be the receptors of the artificial intelligences they want to create, after that Asuna and Rinko retire and they run into two workers, who are very suspicious and I know that in future episodes they will do something wrong.
We return to Underworld and the boys has been in jail for a day and a half, after reviewing their situation and verify their objectives, they easily flee their cell, then they manage to reach the entrance of the tower but for their bad luck they are intercepted by an integrity knight , who introduces himself as Eldrie Synthesis Thirty One and he says that Alice gave him the orders to wait for them to appear, so in simple words, the boys are in serious trouble since they only have chains to defend themselves from their rival who is an integrity knight.

In fact, Alice dont remember them!

They got brought to jail like alice had been when she break a tabu's code!

And their cute Kohais brought their sword! And had one minute for last words! Was a sad moment!

It always nice to see Asuna time, she is starting to thing she would like to help Kirito entering in Underworld too! I am waiting for that!

They managed to fled from jail really easy, unfortunately Alice predicted that and send Eldrie to wait for them!

Hyped to see how they will fight against a integrity knight without their sword!

I think Alice personality is cold because she had her memories erased. Like Kirito said, the church probably messed with her memories.

Seems like they're also already trying to make robots out of the fluctlights, that's gonna backfire on them big time, I'm sure.

Now we wait for the first fight against an integrity knight,
though Kirito and Eugeo are gonna get their ass kicked since
they got only their chains and no swords.

Alice finally makes a return to the screen and she doesn't seem to remember Eugeo at all. I have to say that the punishment, execution, is a bit much for what they did... those guys from last week deserved what they got.

I wonder if we'll see Tiese and Ronie again after this.

We get to see more what happens in real life! And Asuna ofcourse! After that whole stuff about the robot talk, Asuna seemed to recognize someone in one of the hallways? I am curious to see who that could be.

Took them 1,5 days being in prison to escape already. With Alice anticipating that they would, Kirito and Eugeo have a battle to face now!

Alice is such a clever knight to predict that escape, so does it mean she remembers them?

That breaking of the chains was a clever plan by Kirito, that is why he is the best in-game character of all time. At first when I watched SOA I didn't like him but as he progressed and showed how much compassion he has, I changed my mind and gave SOA a decent rating. He and Asuna are the reason SOA is great.

I'm loving this season and it's one of my top five anime this season.

Alice must have had her AI rewritten and the main objective for Eugeo here is to find her missing memories...assuming that it hasn't been deleted yet...

So that Ichiemon robot thing is going to be the vessel that the AI from the project is going to possess? I guess it's just a prototype until they come up with Androids for the AI. Speaking of which, I wonder if the series will end with Eugeo and Alice coming to the real world as Androids...

Kirito and Eugeo had just enough Object Authority to rip the chains apart. How convenient. And how convenient that Alice has her student Eldrie waiting for her as she predicted. If Alice is a mentor, then she must be a pretty high rank then. Looks like next episode, Kirito Belmont and Eugeo Belmont are going to try to give Eldrie a whipping but to no avail since chains aren't swords.

So ur gonna tell me it only took them 10 seconds to get rid of their chains and break out of their cells and they're the only ones who've thought of doing that? It didnt seem like a complicated theory to me. No one had ever tried that before? Oh wait. They got put of their cell? How tf did they get out of their cell? How kind of shit prison is this.

And like I predicted, Alice and the integrity knights had their memories erased. All their name end with Synthesis (Number). There are 31 of them judging by his dialouge. Man everything is so god damn predictable.

Again, miss me with that they're doing in the real world cuz I don't give 2 shits what Asuna thinks or sees. They've literally established nothing in that 5 min scene of Asuna, except spilling out techy bullshit which in theory doesn't even make any God damn sense fundamentally. You expect me to believe some light in my brain is responsible for my memory? Lmfao.
