| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  I'll just put this heartwarming picture here because the rest of the episode is full of DIO URRRRYYYY, Gundam SEED and Asuna hot sex premium deluxe. Blu-ray sales will surely skyrocket again after this episode. If you know what i mean. VERY GOOD episode over all. |

 Oh shit. Well, at least Asuna meets Kirito again. Yui also being happy is a plus for me. Yup, now I'm wondering how this series will conclude its finale. That fight was fucking lame though. |

| Let's sum it up: Amazing face and voices (credit: DIO/Koyasu) of Sugou NTR Cheater skill Anyway, a lot of Asuna and she got to meet Kirito again! So I am contented. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Happy reunion. And it was just a trap for him to come here like previous SAO prayers to be his experiments? (Is that correct?) Such a torture. And somehow Kirito became the God through SAO creator and made that guy weak. LOVE THE OST!! But... so bloody. Some kind of seed is given, which seems like the key to final ep.. And loving the kiss on Yui's cheek. |

| so the gundam seed appears and asuna (kinda) avoids the rape kayaba is as great as ever, all said and my guess is the tonkii part is going to be in a ova, since kirito need to get excaliber eventually... i wonder how much to wait untill GGO and BoB, cause after that they NEED to animate wowo..they skipped so much....who cares, as long the blue-ray comes out quick yui, so damm cute, and dont worry, you are saved up in a usb inside a helmet .__. kirito is a great dad, has a saved copy of his daughter. .. tsubasalover said: And it was just a trap for him to come here like previous SAO prayers to be his experiments?

| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Oh wow, this episode was something. A mixture of revulsion from the first half and satisfaction on the second half. Koyasu Takehito did a fabulous job with Sugou. A little too well coz Oberon was 10x more slimy and irritating in here. Pretty difficult to watch. inb4 NTR doujins galore ._. There might be some but probably not a lot this coming Comiket. And Deus Ex Kayaba! The shitstorm later will be glorious. I would have liked it if he didn't actually appeared in front of him and was just a voice but you can't win them all. And all is well right? |

| Someone needs to make a GIF of Kirito's pathetic crying face so this amazing show won't ever be forgotten. ¯\(°_o)/¯ |
| THE BIGGEST SHIT STORM OF ALL SHIT STORMS WILL OCCUR IN AN HOUR OR SO, PREPARE YOURSELVES! |
| Meaning the author can only have endings which come from some sort of ass-pull. But yeah I liked this adaption pretty well. Sugou's VA was king in this episode (was half expecting him to MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA) |

Make sure that your pipes are wrapped and you bring you pets indoors. Metaphorically speaking. This episode provided everything both fans and haters could have wanted. So both will start raving incredibly enthusiastically, which will lead to the inevitable and 24th rendition of the "You Suck" song. We're used to all that by this point.. But this should at least be x10 worse to the reaction from episode 14. |

Thats putting it lightly, this forum is going to become intolerable very very soon, flames, trolls, haters everywhere, they won't even give time for reasoning either (not that they do often anyway...), well this in itself isn't anything new tho. |

Sugou's VA was king in this episode (was half expecting him to MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA) And let the flame wars begin!!!! The endings can be cliched, hackneyed, boring, predictable, anticlimactic, whatever, but they are most certainly not "ass-pulls" or "deus ex machina" endings. That would imply that the author got to the end and didn't know how to end it, whereas with all the foreshadowing with both endings (SAO and ALO) it is pretty clear that the author had planned for it to end this way. After all if Kirito's final SAO stats were transported into ALO because it was a copy of SAO, then other things (including Yui) could have ridden along into the game. I'm actually not implying it's a deus ex machina...I'm saying that's what people will be saying. The only thing you could say about the ending is that it's overly convenient, kinda like clannad after stories ending. |
nnangle said: What are the chances of a second season, then? extremely high. Or they could do it all in a movie if they felt like being lazy. |
Takuan_Soho said: And let the flame wars begin!!!! If you don't want any flame wars, ou can still skip haters comment. As far as I'm concerned, I'm totally OK with flame wars, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't even come to this sub-forum. |
nnangle said: When do you think we can expect it? 2-3 years? Probably next year, it's really friggin popular. I wouldn't be surprised if it was already in development. |
| Ah, finally got to see Sugou get his just desserts. That was immensely satisfying even though some parts got skipped. One more episode to go and then this forum can die off or cool down or whatever. |
 |
| I guess you are one of the haters, but do you know well they selling LN for SAO? No this show will not end, I doubt so there will be a new season after the crossover. Lolack said: this retarded show is finally gonna end |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| When I realize about the pain absorbs got reduce and what Kirito did to him, it must feel a hell of pain to get his arm cut and sword cut in the head. |

| Koyasu, Takehito gives another awesome voice performance of that no good Sugou. Satisfying from beginning to end. |
 |
| Finally. That is how you do it. Ruthless. Although... it is still kinda convenient... But finally!!! |

| THat Fairy king need to die. He was a real bastard |
 |
| That guy deserved that and much more. I'm sure that I would spent my sweet time torturing him for all he did to Asuna. Anyway other than the part where he was having his way with Asuna, it was a great episode! So where do they go from here? Can't wait for next week! I just hope that they don't get trapped in another world. |
| damn he set suguo's pain to 0 that dude might be dead in real life but hey he deserved it im glad asun is back and im glad she didnt get raped but suguo nasty he said he wanted to have sex with her real body O.o and her real body was in a coma that fucking weird ass cunt bitch. ----- yeah i didnt like him i still wish yui didn't have to be in the game... and im a little confused as to WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T KAYABA-- however you spell his name---- HELP HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!! still i think the second arc of this anime has been pretty much a let down in it's entirety. one more episode to go!!! |
| Just wow...... Was I watching a fucking NTR hentai this episode or SAO? Oh wait it was the same thing. This episode also showed how bad a villain Sugou really is. Ok, don't make 100% sure he can't move, once Kirito got up I would've taken two or three extra steps to chain him down. Also this proves how much of a loser in the actual world this guy is in that he uses his power in ALO to rape a 17 year old girl instead of not being a pedophile. There are so many more things you can do with the things he had at his disposable to make him a more cunning villain honestly. Is Sugou supposed to symbolize Japanese Otaku in their primal state? O.o Dio is 10x the villain than Sugou ever can hope to be in his life, Sugou is a coward who doesn't plan. Also even more head scratching is why is Kayaba Akihiko being reflected upon in a POSITIVE MANNER? Yes he didn't kill thousands of people for reasons he doesn't even know and made Asuna NTR possible. But what confused me even more is how'd Kirito even get Kayaba's GM status? I'm assuming when his ID got transferred to ALO his status was given GM from Kayaba. This show just creates fake obstacles that boosts Kirito's "inner"(fake) confidence based on what Kayaba said. What makes shows exciting for me is seeing the hero triumph and DESERVING it. Kirito honestly didn't deserve to rescue Asuna, all of the challenges that he faced were facerolls, Kirito didn't struggle. Sword Art Online has just reached Guilty Crown levels of low for me... The only positive thing about this episode I can say is the animation; the running scenes especially in the beginning looked really fluid |

Takuan_Soho said: I don't want flame war. Intelligent and reasonable discussion, fine, getting into exchanges of flames with some trolls, absolute waste of time. I mean, most of the haters have made up their minds already, and they are watching the show just to give them the right to trash it, not to look for valid points to discuss. And let the flame wars begin!!!! Since most of the posters so far seem not to be those haters, why don't we agree here that we are not going to feed the trolls by responding to their provocation. After seeing so many ugly and nasty exchanges going on in this SAO section for so long, I think we should learn to work together to make this potentially "shitstorm" thread a better one. In short, I suggest we do not react to troll posts and we carry on only the meaningful discussion among ourselves. Let the trolls starve is my suggestion. |

| Not a fanboy or a hater but i'm really enjoying the show even if it has a generic plot. |
 |
| Oh well, the "Final Boss" fight was so.. meh. Still a good episode.. but im not sure if i should keep the 10/10 on this anime.. |

| This episode really made me drop my ranking of this show from 8 to 7. To be perfectly honest, despite really liking SAO originally, it's gradually gone down hill. I didn't like this episode, I mean it was pretty funny, but other than that it was quite boring and predictable. |
| Scrumbag Kirito: saves Asuna, forget 299. |

Takuan_Soho said: No complaint about you responding to hyperknees, who did not sound like a hater anyway (Lolack's post is more like it). My post is more a response to your "Let the Flame War begin!" comment.though I know that hyperknees was not saying that it was a DeM ending, that complaint, I thought, was a valid compliment one could make about the episode and deserved a response at the beginning before it ignited a real flame war. |

| Prediction for next episode: Kirito falls off his bike and dies. |

| "Oh right, gotta save Asuna first" -_________________________- What a disappointing reunion, I wanted Asuna to run into Kirito's arms, not hug "their child" which in reality they only knew for like 3 days. I felt like the final fight scene was done really well though, at least better than the reunion. How he killed Sugou did make me laugh a bit though :P Next time a reunion epilogue episode+cliffhanger till next season it would seem. Not sure how I feel about this cliffhanger after what they did to the first season... Maybe they'll learn form their mistakes and improve? Maybe? I mean it could happen.. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

Get a new director, maybe the one doing Uchuu Kyoudai or something. He knows how to use flashbacks/monologues really well. |
| Amazing Episode! Kirito was epic taking the admin control. Asuna finally saved and gets to go back to the real world. I'm just sad Yui is now alone :( @lillietta - I agree it's going to be hard to top SAO. Looking forward to next week! |
| ^ Yui is not going to be alone. As she said she is living in Kirito's Nervgear and I assume she can even go into Kirito's computer if there is a link (she is a program anyway). Even if that does not happen, Kirito and Asuna probably will come back to that virtual world to be with her. Uncanny said: I guess you predicted Kayaba was around in ALO world then? And you predicted that Sugou would really rip off Asuna's dress and was going to rape her in front of Kirito? it was quite boring and predictable. To me I think they handled the episode pretty well. Animation better than average. Very strong voice acting. Story is standard but added with its own spice. Pacing and direction is also among the better in the episodes shown so far. Not the best episode but given my not too high expectation of SAO it is a decent episode. |
