I couldn't care less about Alice but in her defense it's not a double standard because the people from the Dark Territory are the ones who attacked them first while they only try to protect their homelands.


(Should i polemize? Should i? Come on, why not)


- Human Empire = Israel

- Dark Territory = Arab League


- Final Load Test = Arab-Israeli war.


The Dark hordes attacked first and with more men, but the Human Empire was just too strong.


You ought to look at the leaked CIA documents on Israel. It's actually the other way around, Israel invaded a territory which didn't belong to them. Also, I'd also avoid making such remarks unless you want to end up humiliated with a lecture on history and current events.



Back to topic:
You know the image of an honorable knight that often comes up in movies, scripts and historical events? Well that knight is Eldrie a true hero. Seriously, look at the amount of courage, respect and love he has for others. What an honorable person.

Also that statement where Gabriel calls Alice as Alicia. That's messed up, don't tell me he's going to do something very messed up with her if he catches her.

Also, the Dark territory people were not even interested in fighting it was the psychopath leader Gabriel forcing them to do it, most of them just wanted to live their lives in peace.

Finally, the last and most important question, where's Asuna? Seriously, when will the best girl show up? HURRY UP AND SHOW ASUNA!

What is it with this season trying to make it seem as though we should care about the deaths of characters we've just barely met?

If he didn't want his girlfriend to die, then send someone else to lead the meat squad. Hell, don't have anyone lead the meat squad at all. What's it matter?

This was amazing. Absolutely stunning.

Asunas entrance is probably the pv next week and ep 10 is her for real.

Disgusting pig people got sacrificed, red skinned witch waifu uses the lifepower of her sidechicks to survive.
Damn Im so excited. Nearly forgot I miss Quinella.

I wasnt a big fan of alice last season, but this .. this is glorious.

PS: lmao at the score. Im glad the industry doesnt care about us.

omg R.I.P Eldrie, he fought to protect Alice till the end. I actually felt pretty bad for the orcs sacrificed too. Looks like Gabriel finally found Alice.

10 minutes in real world are 10.000 minutes in UW. A day is 1440 minutes long.

So the 10 minutes of RW are the same of almost 7 days in UW


We know that Gabriel just has arrived a couple days before the begin of the load test, so it means that a delay of just 2 or 3 minutes to Asuna entry was enough to make SAO fans be very angst. lol[/quote]



You are correct!! goob job calculating time

Wasn’t really hung up over Eldrie dying until he called Alice “mother.” That kinda left me in my feels.

No surprise that Gabriel would sacrifice all them people, he don’t give a fuck about anyone in this world. Btw that dumb dark mage lady literally cost the dark forces like 1/3 of their army for no damn reason. Everything she tried failed. Pretty amusing.

So whens Asuna gonna show up. She finally gets to save the day for once and she doesn’t even show up tf is this??

Alice is the queen, a suitable protagonist instead of Kirito. I love her. Time for busty brown girl to die soon. Enough of her and Vecta using forbidden jutsus. I had enough of Eldrie, not sad to see him go finally.

Man I can't get enough of alice, she drives me wild, like a animal in heat. She is the perfect blonde at this point. Courage, honor, loyalty and beauty she is such a babe. Hope she can fk everyone over.

Gabriel ordered to sacrifice 3000 people, the black wizard attack that resulted failed thanks to Eldrie's sacrifice
Alice is going to confront Gabriel in order to reach the World End Altar, this is gonna be great

Damn. I think they rushed it. But damn. The insanity level of the characters in this episode was so high. Dee Eye Ill sacrificed 3000 ogres, Eldrie charged and sacrificed himself. Darkness was mad. Curse you, DIL. Just die. That last dialouge, Alicia. I hope my hypothesis was right. Damn, sao. This is what I want. I'll give it 9/10 now

That orc sacrifice is definitely powerful, I feel bad for the good souls that happened to be born in the dark territory, just as there is bad scum like those two rapists in the human world (from Kirito's and Eugeo's academy), there is always gonna be the nicest of people in the place of darkness. That orc chief is going to end up hating on humans even more now, truly hatred comes from not understanding the other.

I wish I could feel anything towards these knights I barely know. Apart from maybe Alice, they barely have any personalities.
We seem to be breaking the laws of this universe more and more, with the guys surviving at negative HP just long enough to say his goodbye to Alice... Maybe these are just on purpose to show that willpower can break these worlds like Kirito did in Aincrad?
Orcs and ogres are people too! But again, I can't really feel bad for them in the 2 mins they are shown. I get the principle behind it, that it's not all black and white, but eh...

People mentioning how the flow of time is different kinda makes sense in relation to why Asuna isn't here yet, but that also doesn't make this season any more interesting to me.

it seems Eldrie was the first integrity knight that slained in this battle ( if Dakira from 4 heavenly blade Of Fanatio didn't count)

RIP Eldrie.. at last moment he could showed his purpose and real value to Alice, and... with those revealment from Alice, Vecta'll make his move.

One of the best episode in the season so far.

The dark territory residents are 'humans' too, in a sense. They also have dreams, hope and loved ones. Seeing the Orcs tribe sacrificed and the Wolf chief trying to take Alice to end the war and go back to his hometown made me tear up a bit....
These characters have souls too.
I wish their side can be explored more.. That fake god really ruin everything. sigh..

Also, rip Eldrie. I find him a bit annoying before cuz he kept getting jealous over a sickly person but he really died honorably now.

Wonder what (or rather who) pushed him tho?
Is it...EUGEO MY BOII?? ;-; 🐦

As heroic as Eldrie's sacrifice was, it's kind of underwhelming that the sacrifice of 3,000 Orcs did no damage besides that.

I really like Alice in this season, need more rage moments, this one was way too short. Exchanging 3000 orcs for one rather weak integrity knight is not too bad of a trade I guess.

I have no clue what this story is actually trying to do anymore. It feels like the main reason that this battle is even occurring is because the Final Load Test has been foreshadowed so much that something needs to happen. Unfortunately, this battle makes little sense in context and is fought by characters who are hardly established. What's even crazier about all this is that the viewer knows how pointless the battle even is because we know why everything is happening.

I honestly feel that the main reason Asuna and Kirito are not in the story right now is because there is no way the could be and not tell everyone the truth.

This keeps getting better and better, I like that. Eldrie died the best way he could have and even got to see his memory at the end.

That annoying garbage is plotting something, I hate it. Just die already.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

well that was intense and EMOTIONAL, Eldrie sacrificed himself to protect everyone else, leading the deathworm curse attack away. Despite the perfect weapon art not being able to stop the dark attack, Eldrie defied the system going into negative HP. Alice holding Eldrie as he told her not to cry just reminded me of Eugeo's death, I AM IN TEARS MAN
The dark mage leader is also dead by Alice's perfect weapon art, deserved revenge and justice right there. She is a freak and power hungry. Those orcs were scarified for nothing and was an unsuccessful strategy. 5/5 episode with Alice being amazing as always

8:06 I want to f*ck her in the ass!
I feel bad for Furgr and his tribe. They were one of those demi-human tribes who aren't evil, and they want to live peaceful lives. I also feel bad for those Orcs and the Orc waifu. So much sacrifice just to take down one opponent.
The rest of the mage waifu army got wiped out. It was a painful sight.
Eldrie's sacrifice + that special attack scene was awesome. It's too bad he wasn't able to confess to Alice in the end.
