In the first part of Alicization we’ve seen a person working with the Rath who seems sinister.

Agreed, harem posturing in this episode was cringe.
Im usually the first to defend SAO when the inevitable "its harem" comments start, because it really isnt imo when the entire focus from beginning to end was on Asunas and Kiritos relationship. But this makes it hard to do so, theroetically my point still stands. But this just gives peak harem vibes instead of "oh didnt know you had a waifu" or "im gonna be jealous for the rest of my life" like the rest were.

Noooo not even his own waifu could awaken Kirito....;_; this is too sad. I almost cried when they both cried as she held him. ;_________;

It was hilarious to see Asuna and Alice fight, both claiming Kirito to be theirs, hhhhhh. Also, poor Ronie, now she stands no chance. “You're one of us now, Ronie”, stop it, just say the harem word Asuna.

Kirito's harem is growing by the day...
Anyway, Asuna finally arriving was great. Probably the first episode I found good so far in that regard.
Kinda sad she can't use more of her power even with a supposed superuser account, but I guess she can be OP enough without it anyway.
Since there's only two more episodes left, we might get some more fights and then the others joining somehow in the last episode, huh?

Finally.... Asuna reuniting with Kirito, with those preparation from real world and circumstances in Underworld.. it took several episodes for this to happen :D

Loved the sad yet romantic scene when she hugged him and he responded with tears...

and.. the Episode ended with Ladies night trading information and experience about Kirito XD. .. Still.. KiriSuna FTW haha..

can't wait to see Asuna and others in action in the next episode.

Aww Kirito reacting to Asuna strongly yet still not able to hold her.
I'm dismayed tho. I love Alice, but I don't hate Asuna. Of course, if Eugeo were still alive, I want him to kidnap Kirito instead haha 😂

Well, that senpai finally come out. A bit awkward how everyone suddenly went girls night. Like, you guys are still at war, hello? But maybe they just need a break, sigh. Poor kirito has to be in the same room lol.

It's good that Asuna is honest, but I don't know if saying too much is okay. I already expected the mole. Kikuoka himself seems fishy from the start xD

Aaa I haven't seen Asuna inside a virtual world in over a year! It feels so nostalgic~

I loved the fight between her and Alice. And also when they were arguing with Ronie and Liena about Kirito, lololol I'm so jealous of his harem.

Definitely my favourite episode of this season so far.

Plot hole.
Why Kirito and Asuna just didn't die in Underworld to proceed instant logout without waiting for 200 years?

Or at least, why they didn't made an external observer call to remove time acceleration? 5k FLA cap for controlling Underword from console may explain this, but not the first question. Being kicked from inside forces STLs to safely disconnect fluctlights.

FLA lock is software contolled. As we see, pulling handle didn't accelerate FLA immediatelly, it gave us countdown time. So, there would be absolute rights from inside of system core to control speed on some actions and interruptions…

Haha, it's kind of funny how they think they can compare with Asuna in terms of the time spent being alongside Kirito. Although I was expecting their reunion to be more impactful for Kirito. He will most likely wake up when Gabriel is about to kill Asuna or something close to that.

I've been enjoying these past episodes, really hoping the last 2 are just as good. Also the way Bercouli stopped that fight was so gooood!!

great and pretty cute episode, that reunion between Asuna and Kirito was so EMOTIONAL, I was really hoping he would wake up again. Didn't take long for Alice and Asuna to meet as they crossed swords with each other, with Alice thinking she was an enemy spy. Good thing Bercouli stepped in to sort out this scuffle. I like how Alice and Asuna were briefly arguing with each other, with Alice wanting her to not enter Kirito's carriage without her permission and Asuna telling Alice to stop referring to Kirito in a familiar way. Can't forget about Ronie addressing Kirito as her senpai. The meeting helped set everything straight with Asuna explaining that the enemy from the real world is after Alice and Asuna needs to take Alice with her to save the Underworld. Code 871 is the Seal of the Right Eye, apparently set up by someone from the real world, slowing down the experiment on true intelligence where the AIs are to violate the Taboo Index. Finally, Alice made a deal with Asuna, letting her see Kirito in exchange for Asuna telling her everything she knows about Kirito, and then the two talk about the time they spent with Kirito; Asuna partnering up with him for two years and dating for a year and a half while Alice fought alongisde him for one night, and caring for him for 6 months under the same roof. Ronie comes in too about being his page and learning sword skills, and Liena also returns to talk about training with him. It was nice to see all the girls get along, especially Alice and Asuna. Also, why do people think there is a harem? There isn't, Kirito is loyal to Asuna and only her. Everyone else shares a close bond with him, but that doesn't mean that there is a harem.

They aren't, there is no harem at all. They are going to discuss their experience with Kirito. They share strong bonds with him, but that doesn't mean that its a harem. Please pay better attention.

Actually, there is no harem. Kirito is only loyal to Asuna. The group of girls are only going to talk about their experience with Kirito. They share a close bond with him but that doesn't mean that there is a harem.

Nicely animated catfight between Asuna & Alice.
12:58 If that's the case, then Eugeo could've been chosen as well since he was able to break that seal too.
19:10 I like that outfit on Asuna. I wish the other waifus would wear something sexier too. 
Wow, it's been a while since Liena appeared. I thought the show forgot that she existed.
I like the harem scene at the end. Ah, it must be nice to have so many waifus. I'm so envious!
