| bruh I get the whole bad reporters are bad, but what kind of reporter asks during a conference "can you open your head for us plzplzplz"???? but wait, what happened to PoH's body loL? also something tells me Eugeo was more than just a friend to kirito ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Alicization has actually made me like Sword Art Online Might just pick up Unitial Ring when it drops in a few months |
 |
| First episode this season where I didn't skip anything; good stuff. It finally feels like there are real consequences now. |
 |
| I'm all welcome for some Alice but the writer manages to make the same mistake of the 1st season once again. At least one epilogue episode in the underworld with some developments should have been done. |
| Those reporters sure got told by Alice, funny thing is if this were to ever happen in reality. You can be sure that people will ask very similar questions maybe except for the whole open your head part but hey, I wouldn't put it past that happening. Little montages of Kirito and Asuna's time in the underworld was very nice, would've loved to see more of where that came from. I assume she's in some kind of android body like what Kayaba was in previously but more polished I guess? Kirito missing Eugeo so much. Such bromance. :( |

| A good episode, preserving Elder Kirito to bring peace to the other world together with Kayaba is a good "gift bow" to end the season. I am confused about how only memories of the underground can be erased, and then some are preserved in your mind after erasing, wasn't erasing fluctuations enough? So Kirito wants to save Underground for his virtual children? I don't understand what happened to Asuna either, wasn't it that dying in the Underground did you die in real life? All good, the waifus good and the quality of the animation good, but this season there were many questions that surely will not be answered even in the light novel, I like animes that at least give a hint, but nothing here. |

It’s possible to choose what erase or what not, otherwise they would not be able to erase only the memories of Underworld without erase the ones of the real world. They can manipulate Fluctlight on pc, so that’s give to them the opportunity to operate on them with the pc. Asuna didn’t die in Underworld, she was ok, she only spent some hours connected so her body was fine, of course. Both her and Kirito manage to get through 200 years in Underworld but in the real world the amount of time was of some hours. Kirito stayed in bed for a lot more time (months) so he need a bit of rehabilitation. |

Yes, anything is possible ... for the plot, you CAN erase the F lights every year on underground too, you can live 1000 years together cloning your memories ... but I just want to know how they do it. And that's what they didn't do today, explain it or give a hint. How do we know that Asuna didn't die underground, why was Kirito alone in the end since only he lived 200 years? In the end you don't answer me anything. |

| I feel like he didn't need to make them delete everything but whatever. I feel bad as it does seem they don't remember and won't meet with Alice, at least for a while. Alice is irl basically for Kirito anyway... |
| bruh |
| I think asuna may have been frozen along with Alices sister, during the time, so Kirito had been alone for 200 years? perhaps, don't know at this point |
 |
| thank god finally some good decent episode about time SAO finally had some truly SciFi moments Alice saving this series so hard They cutted some sweet moments from the novels tho or idk maybe that scene is on next episode. |

| Yeah so now at least they're all saved, nice, and even Alice is in the real world (as an AI) he's still crying for Eugeo though xD |

It’s sci-fi, it’s all about sci-fi tecnologies, there are a lot of dialogues in the series about fluctlight and the way they’re seen in the series. It’s sci-fi, most of the tecnologies in this kind of series are impossible in reality but if you want to try to make analogies, it’s like if they can have a sort of file on pc which represents a fluctlight and manipulate it in an easy way with some sort of API. The same thing can be said for the rest. Asuna and Kirito didn’t die until they were disconnected by the Rath after 20 minutes in real world and if you want to know what happens in the years they spent in Underworld there is a whole arc called Moon Cradle for that. |

It's not that I want to read her whole story, just to know what happened when Asuna couldn't bear any more memories, while Kirito did ... |

Cleostar said: They cutted some sweet moments from the novels tho or idk maybe that scene is on next episode. I really hope something like that will happen in next week's episode. Alice's meeting with Kirito in real life on the episode felt quite sudden (like how she got there very quickly) and was rather only for a short while before Kirito's memory deletion. I'm looking forward to seeing more moments of Alice being together with the rest of the gang as well! Maybe they're saving the best moment for last. I wonder if we will get an adaptation of the Unital Ring arc one day... |

It's not that I want to read her whole story, just to know what happened when Asuna couldn't bear any more memories, while Kirito did ... Try to find logical reason with a sci-fi series is always a bit of paradox but I can see what you mean and then, as I said, there are a lot of episodes concerning fluctlights and the STL which gives to them the chance to operate with fluctlights. It’s a lot similar to the way we handle AI but with human’s brain instead. I work with AI and I made some analogies with that and that may work but the tecnology to interact with a human brains is something impossible nowadays, especially on a level like that as in SAO. Both Kirito and Asuna manage to get through that, Higa said that the only fluctlight he copy was the one of Kirito because he would be find otherwise, but Asuna’s fluctlight was still here. They were both safe until the end and the end is when they get logged out. Then they stayed unconscious for some time and the first to wake up was Kirito. |
| Is Reki Kawahara going to bring to life and kill Kayaba Akihiko more times? "Died" in Aincrad, appears again in Fairy Dance and "died" a 2nd time just to come back again in Alicization and "die" for the third time. Apparently he will come back to life again in Unital Ring, probably to die AGAIN... What's next? Kayaba Akihiko in Accel World?lol |

| Kirito finally making it back to his room only to break down remembering Eugeo really hurt ;~; |
 poggers in all seriousness, some frames of Alice is so fucked up lmao |
| Man... Kirito saying "The Queen" & "Her Majesty" just hit different, you know? It really made the weight of the 200 years feel true. Seeing Alice in the real world was also fascinating, it's like a bittersweet emotion with how she felt in the episode. (Wonder if we'll see Yui like this at some point.) (Alice is also a straight savage, and I'm here for it.) And Kirito's Clone. Damn, was not expecting that. Although when it was revealed I was really hoping he copied Asuna too, so they could stay together. Kirito / Kayaba should be a crazy interaction. |
| Everything's kinda COMPLICATED. We have the real dood and the fake dood, yet we don't know who's the real real one anymore. Then we have a robot which isn't exactly a robot but is an AI, so it is a robot and at the same time it isn't. Where did they found the body though, why is her walking so correct, why doesn't she bump into every obstacle on her path, how much rice bowls for a Chinese child does it cost to manufacture such precise sensors? All the questions yet remain unanswered. But, we got one good thing to lean on to – blame the goverments... Like, you... always wanted to do so... didn't you? Everyone blames the goverment, let's join the party. Kikouka-san has a plan. You know who also had a plan? ADOLF HITTLER. I was hoping not to see Ms. Incest in this episode but the dreams don't come true, thus the harem is still intense. Pretty chill episode, great for watching before sleeping because it won't get you hyped up. |
 |
| They even had an android ready and made her into just like Alice. Awfully convenient. At this point Yui could also get one, seems like she is as good of an AI as any. Also gotta love the fact that I should care about this research when we all know they want to use them as weapons eventually. I don't quite understand how much time has passed, considering that the 200 years shouldn't have been more than a few days at that speed. I thought they would be able to leave as soon as they got back the controls to the base. I did like the fact that they made Kirito kinda broken after having spent 200 years there (not again in there for some reason? No idea about that one). Seems like they became king and queen and even made peace. I wonder if they had kids and all that. From what I've read there are books about all that, so we might get a movie or something. Seems reckless to put Rinko as the head of that base from a public perspective as the assistant of the evil Kayaba (even if she convinced people that she was innocent). Once again we are gonna get more Kayaba... I wish we would just move on already. I guess the Kirito copy might come up later as a problem. |
 |
| I swear Kayaba has "died" like 4 times now just to come back the next season. it's pretty hilarious |
| This episode tackled quite the issues of technologies. That part with the AI taking over the jobs of real worlds was handled with just a no, so that was kinda lacking in sense we still don't know how that would work. On another note though, we can already see the new world happening with the collab of two great minded copies. Can't wait to see the series finale. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| So Alice is now an android but differs from them because she has a soul. She definitely made an impression on the world press, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around Rinko's comment on humans marrying AI's and having families with them... I wish they expanded more on Kirito and Asuna's lives in the Underworld. It definitely sounds like they became the supreme rulers of the Underworld. Am I the only one that gets ominous vibes from Kirito's copy? I also feel like the season will end on a cliffhanger. We still don't know what happened to PoH's body and who those Chinese and Korean characters were. |
 |
| 1 episode left. Definitely still the worst season and will that way. Such a shame, cuz the budget was amazing. At least the copy bit is interesting Also as usual, Aniplex USA didn't even proof read their subs. 22:13 Alice says "... feel I'm might wither away" |

 "For the sake of humankind, I forsake my humanity." - Cherry |
| How to start an episode with anti-climax. This episode was the greatest nonsense shit in history of SAO. - In the previous episode: How KiriSuna are going to endure 200 years of mental overload? Are they going to "wake up" 10 minutes later as braindead potatos? What happened with Vassago, he is going to release a last attack, right? What happened with Kayaba Robocop? - In this episode: "Please protect the fluctolightos" - Alice become a cyborg and is completly integrated in the real world. How many days have passed? - Kirito wake up requesting to his BIOLOGICAL BRAIN to be erased from particular memories. WHAT? - No one cares about Asuna who also spent 200 years there. - Their bodies was waiting in the back of that Press Conference? How Kirito and Asuna was removed from Ocean Turtle? - IT WAS NOT ONLY 10 MIN to Kirito and Asuna be logged off from Underworld? Seems like MONTHS have passed. WTF And for the DOG's Sake, please PLOT, can you not overcome EUGEO death yet? |

A well done sci-fi gives a logical explanation or at least tries to give it when something happens, otherwise it would be magic. It's not that I want to read her whole story, just to know what happened when Asuna couldn't bear any more memories, while Kirito did ... First of all, They didn't "Erase" the memories of Kirito and Asuna but BLOCKED them. The people at Rath don't understand the human brain( and soul) fully. So all they did was block the Neural pathways of those memories. This has been done to Kirito before when he spent 10+ years in Rulid growing up with Eugeo and Alice in UNDERWORLD (It's Underworld not underground). But Kirito Remembered Some of the things that happened in those years because they were never truly erased, to begin with. Second, The human brain doesn't have a limit. The limit of 150 years of memory is just a theoretical value( And that's for the artificial fluctlights, to begin with since that is the ESTIMATED limit a lightcube could hold due to the accumulation of light particle usage for memories.) But the human brain doesn't have a limit like that. So NO, Asuna didn't die before they were logged out. And also no, dying in UW doesn't mean you die in real life. All Higa said was if they die during the maximum acceleration phase their minds might be stuck in some kind of limbo till the maximum acceleration phase ends and it might do some damage to their brains but obviously that didn't happen. Sorry for the grammar, yeah it's underworld. Thank you for taking your time to explain that !. I know that Asuna didn't die, i saw her. And yes,all that higa said didn't happen but they didn't explain nothing,at least in Anime, if there were sequels ... I think it hasn't difficult for them to add "1 week / 1 month later" as they did when they were in the arc of Aincrad putting the days |

| Geeze. I cried again. Kirito misses his bro so much ;____; Whoever says Matsuoka is bad at acting is deadass wrong. avc_alonso said: Why is it that every second half of any SAO season is worse than the first half. First season: SAO better than ALO Second Season: GGO better than Mother Rosario Alicization: First half better than second half War of the Underworld: First half better than second half. The only one I agree with is first season. MR is just as good as GGO (yes it is DIFFERENT but it's good) Alicization/Underworld didn't have one bad arc in its whole run and this latter half was the best part. Fight me. Am I the only one that gets ominous vibes from Kirito's copy? @RiceKnight59 NOOOPE, I'm getting serious HAL vibes from him and the funny part is, I've never even seen Space Odyssey 2000. xD That's actually very frightening lol |

For some reason MAL users madly dislike the touching history of a girl in terminal state enjoying her last moments with friends and games. They thought it was appalling. But Eugeo ghost being overused, not it is not forced or appalling, it is ok, quality plot. |

Umm, I don't think it's being overused, they were bros and Kirito melts inside mostly because of him, besides the usual characters having more screen time, Eugeo deserved more |
