Pitou really wanted the fight of her life. This whole traitor gimmick used in these latest episode seems to just be a device used to set up such a match.

This is probably the most emotional I've seen coming out of LLENN but can't blame her. This felt like a personal fight for her and that smirk...damn.

What a twist this turned out to be. Curious that Pito actually met Kirito back in SAO. Llenn's strat sure was a risky one but one that certainly forced the game forward. The fight between Fuka and Boss sure was fun. Boss went out in style lol. Pito though is one person you don't want to mess with ingame or offline though. That tenacity of hers is unreal. But man what a last fight between Llenn and Pito. 68k shots being fired was impressive.

Kirito!!!


So Pito met Kirito back in SAO Beta Test huh, unexpected.

Man the fights were brutal.
Boss(Eva)'s headshot to Fuka was epic!
Also cool how Pito equipped her armors when Llenn shot her while hanging
Pito really felt her death right there, her bed was soaking wet.

EP 8

Last time well. all the eps until now have been to set up this 3 v 2
So its len vs pito again. although pito has 3 people
Hmmm
I had to refresh my memory on who voices. hmmm
I actually dont remember very well what happened at the end of s1. like yeah len vs pito kinda turned into a brawl and shenanigans


So my main issues with this ep is. Fuka felt a bit shafted like they just wanted to get her out of the way to focus on len vs pito 1v1.
Len vs pito also mostly felt like a rehash of s1. Its a leetle different, although fundamentally it ended up about the same.
I was expecting either pito to barely win 3v2 or to at least see how len handled it, instead we got a 2v2 instead. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing, I dunno.
At the same time I sorta understand they didnt have time(?) to drag it out for another ep or to extend the sequence here.
Its kinda like uhh.

Still 4 more eps to go I wonder if they can make something happen. It really feels like this would normally be an ep 12

The self-fellation towards Kirito is a good way to summarize how low compares this season with the first one.

@Spookyazzhero Iirc M is his manager and friend from childhood.
The water capsules might be related to them using the nervegear instead of the new one, or just a sensory deprivation tank to better playing after the live. Money can buy you a lot of things.

Yet pretty unnecessary to have the only real loli of the show naked.

@CorbanEsp Yeah it was little weird, she did mention she would have been auto logged off if she was using normal NerveGear/AmuSphere but I guess they had some next gen gear?

Llenn and Eva worked really well as a team.
That was an amazing scene when Eva killed Fuka.
The final showdown between Llenn & Pito didn't disappoint.

No, just if she was using the AmuSphere.
It was explained in season 1 that she was using a NerveGear.

Pitohui dropping that info of her playing the SAO beta test and also battling against Kirito was pretty cool. That moment was the calm before the storm that was the final 2v2 clash of SJ3.

Overall, this was a rather exciting episode seeing everyone going all out no holds barred. Eva's way of freefalling towards her death and taking out Fuka in the process was very badass. Same goes for LLENN's fight against Pitohui and how brutal some of their attacks got towards the end.

Ultimately, LLENN was the winner after pushing Pito off the ship and into the the propellers. I had to do a double take after seeing Pito and M naked, which I guess they were like that while playing GGO, but neither seem to mind nor care about that fact, so I have no issues with it. XD

With SJ3 over, it'll be interesting to see what our cast will do for the remaining four episodes. Hopefully it'll be something entertaining one way or another.

The last two episodes are way more satisfying and enjoyable than the last 3 or so after they made the rule change.

Really good banter and fights.

I hope this continues through the next episodes.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Llenn did it! She not only won the squad jam but she fulfilled Pitohui wish of an all out fight between the two of them! After the last squad jam had a disappointing ending of that robot looking team coming in the last second to win, this squad jam was much more satisfying. Having another knock down drag out fight between out two leading ladies that this time ends with one of them winning the whole thing. Our adorable pink devil will live on in squad jam legend after her performance! Llenn and Eva teaming up instead of facing off was interesting. Since finding out Llenn was actually a betrayer all along they couldn't fight directly. Eva ended up helping out Llenn a lot not only by her awesome takedown of Fuka but also giving Llenn the plasma grenades and her knife. That knife especially helped Llenn beat Pitohui. The consecutive headbutts were brutal to see but they showed how determined Llenn was to beat Pitohui and put this all to rest. Inspiring Pitohui in the real world to write an awesome new song and make the next squad jam even better!

Now that I think about it, I don’t recall Pito-san ever mentioning being part of the SAO beta test during the series, but I do remember she said she couldn’t get in during the official launch. By the way, this scene is so Kirito! <3 Always being himself, even during the beta test

Pito is my beloved psycho, but LLENN dunking her ass and getting a Reona insert song along with it, I was honestly cracking up. As much as I love my queen Pitohui it is equally as entertaining when she gets destroyed by a goofy pink gremlin.

I can’t believe Kitito is shown as a throwaway character. Wow, what a downgrade. Seeing LLENN beat the ever-living shit out of Pithoui was brutal seeing how she was cut down by the goddamn ship’s propeller. The ending was a bit of a cop-out seeing how M was told to stay out of the way to make it an even fight. Fuka and Boss taking each other out was poetic justice. Overall a pretty solid episode. What was the deal with Pitohui being naked at the end?? That was weird. I do have to wonder, would LLENN have won if Pitohui wasn’t exhausted? I don't think she would have. Discuss.

she couldn't get in to SAO because of her concert that day which was mentioned by M in season 1. Which is a big regret for her. But for me if she did get in the SAO incident then we would never met her character because she needs to survive in SAO no matter what and Llenn might never met her at all.

I really wish that they would just shake up the formula a bit, like having Eva shoot pito so that the showdown is with fuka and lenn or something like that, the llenn pito fight was really cool the *first* time, but are we going to keep seeing this again and again in every season? I thought it wasn't going to happen this time because of the whole thing where they started on the same team, but as soon as the whole betrayal thing happened I was like 'oh, yep, here comes the inevitable.'

It's just not as interesting any more as some of the other matchups could be. And it's kind of ass how they talk up all these other characters, especially teams like the Amazons and then they do basically nothing.

I did like the M san bit at the end though.

While that was an overall good episode, I still feel they're really trying hard to ruin it. I'm barely recovering from the weird twist last ep (which still makes no sense whatsoever, don't even try to explain it away, it was just bs), now they go and shove in that reference, just so people don't forget about Mr. CRINGE-Our-Lord-and-Saviour-and-the-biggest-Cock-alive-Ahh-his-corniness-makes-me-so-wet-CRINGE himself (and, in the process, downgrade Pito a to fangirl lusting for him because of course). A lot of dumb writing decisions there ...

@Dukino I'm so many chapters in, not worth stopping now.
I really liked S1, that's why I'm watching the show. But since chapter 1 they have been working hard to destroy LLENs development from S1, and there are no real emotion or stakes compared with that season. The only real moment it felt like S1 was when the story focused on MMT and the Amazons and left LLENs team inside that train wagon.

And I dunno why I'm a "fake shophisticated", I didn't came here to shit on SAO, which I haven't watched in years since I didn't like it's wasted potential, I'm just considering stupid the inclusion of that scene, that could have been just a passing story, but needed to elevate Kirito above everyone else.
GGO was great because it stayed away of Kirito's all mightiness.

pretty certain they just had really advanced pods for deep diving like we saw in the background. I think those tubs are just really expensive gaming/deep dive stuff to fully immerse yourself in deep dive.
