THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
No OP as it is the end of the arc. So only the treasure can defeat the king? With that heavy hammer that is lighter for Freiya, she turned into Thor. Another hammer, which is lighter, is given to the friend who convinced the group the save Freiya when the king's defeated.

They found excalibur, but it's stuck too deep that he has too yell and be strong to take it out. That sister girl has sharp hearing that she can hear flying elephant when falling. He through the sword away because there's no crystal, but Sinon created it through archery and got it back. After being lost hearted, that guy fell in love with an NPC.

Kirito learned a technique at school and gave Yui a chance the feel that she's flying in real life.

Nice ep. The animation during the fights was really good. It was pretty anti-climatic though.

Frejya being a TRAP and being Thor was lol for Klein XD

Sinon definitely best WAIFU saving Kirito's Excaliber :3 Even looking at eachother smiling like that ^^; Asuna's totally been side lined lol

Klein asking Skuld for her contact info was lol. Poor Klein 4ever alone XD

Can't wait for MR.

So this is the end of the arc? A bit short but whatever. In terms of action, it was great but the story was pretty average imo and fairly predictable. Someone also needs to give Klein a hug. Oh well, he might find someone else in the future right for him...

Hot Excalibur though.

Well that ends this arc very short and sweet. Poor Klein Freya turned out to be a trap for Klein. Kirito and friends complete quest and gains Excalibur. Sinon saving sword for Kirito being harem lead is a tough job lol. Well on to the next arc.

Welp, and the mini-arc is already over. It felt fairly average but I still enjoyed it more than the rest. The pacing was balanced as well. The battle against Thrym felt a bit lackluster, in terms of fighting mechanics. At least it was animated in a good manner.

Looks like Sinocchi always has something in store for Kirito-kun after they clear something out together. Klein definitely needs to ask Kirito-kun for some major tips.

I really hope I'm going to enjoy the upcoming MR arc, as much as this one anyway.

Kirito throwing the really heavy hammer! Freyja grabs it easily and turns into Thor xD

Klein getting a hammer out of it! Kirito managing to pull Excalibur and got it later.
The scenario was pretty nice, the tree with those buildings surrounding it.
Sinon saving the sword and telling Kirito to remember her whenever he uses it!

Klein falling for Skuld... it was nice while it lasted.
Nice to see Yui being able to feel like she is flying.

overall this arc is so fun, and they even introduce the mechathronic (?) things that *minor spoiler* later kirito will use.

Last ep discussion someone spoiled that Freiya is a trap or something like that. I looked up to the story and waiting if they adapt it too, and yeah, that was hillarious

I'm so hyped for Mother Rosario! More Asuna is a good thing!

This ep was really good. I really loved Klein's poor reactions, he got dumped twice in this ep, first by Freya who turned out to be Thor, and then by the goddess of the Future - Skuld. And also Sinon was awesome when she got back the sword.
Also, to everyone. It's EXCALIBER in this series, not EXCALIBUR, you bakas!

Well that was a cute little arc. Poor klien though. He can't even use hammers! I thought he was gonna give it to Lisbeth TBH.
I think i know why this arc came before MR too. And i think the little camera scene at the end had something to do with it.

Good mini arc full of foreshadowing for various things in the future.

As a norse mythology nerd, this was great for me to see because they stuck quite closely to the ideas in Norse mythos, especially "How Thor and Loki tricked Giant Thrym" story.


Its a good breather mini-arc, but one should not forget things established here. A LOT of them will become quite important ;)

Thrym got rek'd when Freyja transformed into freakin' Thor.
Klein also got rek'd because of that.
At least he gets Mjolnir, while Kirito gets Excaliber.

Although Sinon does make her moves on Kirito by retrieving Excaliber.
Klein's also making moves on Skuld.

So this short arc ends with Kirito paying for food because he's the owner of Excaliber and not Excalibur.
Even though I enjoyed this arc, can't wait for the next one. (^_^)

By the way, anyone have an HD version of that ending picture?

Kirito threw Excaliber because he couldn't put it into his inventory before completing the mission. And it was overburdening him (RPG term) so he needed to discard it.

You might need to look up definition of filler.

This arc had very clear significance for future storylines(in more than one way) and was a perfect closure for Fairy Dance story arc as Kirito finally got the chance to own up on his promise to get the sword fairly.

Frejya being Thor paid off, damn I can still see Klein's face over it.

Damn how I wish he had broke up with Asunah long ago and was hooked up with Sinon now :(

How many more arcs are there for a 3rd season or rather does it have enough content for a 3rd/4th?

They pretty much was un-prepare to fight that boss. Typical RPG tactics are usually buffing/de-buffing, casting regen effect and bring Ice armor/fire weapon. Overall this arc is short and kinda boring.

That's what he meant when it was too heavy. I thought he meant it was too heavy of a burden or something since it reminded him of the ALO incident lol.

Was the whole thing about the name important in someway when they were discussing it at the end ?

Freya, the Ice Giant, the Hammer and Thor is an actual Norse Legend, except Loki was the one who disguised Thor as Freya.

After the giants still his Hammer, Thor pretends to be Freya and promises to marry the Ice Giant in order to get access to their hall. During the reception Thor totally gives himself away by being Thor and Loki, doing his best to cover for the increasingly impossible scenes, creates a fun bit of 11th century humor (a little lacking by 21st century standards but still fun).

It seems like they are going to do a slow pitch start for Mother Rosario. People unfamiliar with the story, think of next episode as a transition episode rather than an actual episode of that Arc. It appears that it will be more explaining Asuna's situation and her relationship with Kirito. Not a bad decision overall, rather have it at the beginning than stuffing it into the arc once it starts moving.

Say.. It's not my intention to ruin this happy ending moment in this forum but.. When freyja transform, did I just saw a man's (Thor's) butt? Maybe I should rewatch again..

Anyway, I knew the meaning of filler but this mini-arc still got filler-like feels in it.

Also, some of you ask if Klein gonna use that hammer, but as he said, he doesn't have any points in hammer skill. So the hammer is a useless loot for him, and I don't think he's gonna sell it so maybe he will keep it as something from freyja.
