| Everything this ep about is just a short fight scene between Eiji (Nautilus) and Vassago (PoH). Ahh, I might feel a little bit nostalgic. But looking at other aspects of it... What should I expect... Oh well, next ep may be promising. |
| seeing Eiji and Yuna made me happy. I also like the character development with the others. |
 Kyoto Animation rocks |
| He's waking up! He's waking up! But first. Flashback episode next week! LOL |
| bruh |
| I never screamed so loudly so late at night LOL. Eugeo makes a comeback :C Also, Higa calling it out-- his own death flag. Triple RIP, but atleast he backed up and restarted Kirito in time. So who's this Eiji guy? I feel bad for not remembering. Is he Asuna's Kouhai? Who she replaced? I dunno...I feel like he should stick out more, but even my recollection of Yuna is faint (just that she was OP singer and had an arc with Asuna). Since he came from the old SAO server (according to Yui), does that mean he's dead forever?... I didn't even realize the SAO servers were still active. Can't remember too many things, unless these are unspoken plotholes/manga background. Seems like they went the -- PoH is a inferior Kirito route.Tragedy. Does PoH have admin powers? Is it his character account skill? How the hell is he controlling everyone? Or is the storyline, that he "controls the storyline" as an NPC account...god I'm so confused. I've failed.

Eiji and Yuna are from the SAO Ordinal Scale movie I haven't read the light novels or manga so I don't know, but I think it was only just a cameo; the real characters were the ones that they changed to after. |

| Wow, we had some great fight scenes during these episode, the animations were also top notch. That Yuuna insert scene was great! I loved seeing her and hearing her sing. |
| “What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?” ― Lelouch Vi Britannia |
| So PoH also will never forgive the Japanese |
 |
| So Eiji only appeared for the sake of getting only owned. And look at that, I have to know also PoH's backstory so I could at least sympathize with him. Sorry but this is the most cringe-worthy episode I have seen on this season. I could not help myself but to think that this arc should have been ended after the defeat of Administrator. PS: I seriously wanted to curse this episode more if I post right after watching as I have watched this episode yesterday. Crylix said: Seems like I'm one of the few who didn't like this episode as much. Alicization up to this point was dope. Fast forward a few episodes into this part, i'm just not feeling it. Ever since Asuna and the old crew came back, i feel like this amazing SAO season has become a cringe-fest of sorts. Please, stop crying all the time. Please, stop saying Kirito fifty times per episode. Please, show some Alice already. So far, i'm disappointed for the first few episodes. I don't really hate them, but surely it's not my cup of tea. Hopefully this will improve, but I highly doubt it. Wholly agree. The arc went to a worst turn after Kirito's harem getting involved and this just went back to SAO's cringe-fest cliches once again. |

| The power of harem gonna wake Kirito up. @dipItFoo |
 |
| SO, UMM, WHY ARE PEOPLE SAYING THERE'S NO EPISODE THIS WEEK? Is it some sort of important holiday in Japan or something? (Damn, I wanna see Kirito wake up already, I can't wait anymore.) |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| it gets worse and worse, first rape now gore and everything here for making any kind of sense is so out of place and boring.... just ufff everythings feels so forced like a fk trainwreck wtf is that elevator scene, somethings falling and ofc he has to fall down not like he could grab to something like a ladder to his left? |

| Eiji showing up along with Yuuna was fun, even if it didn't make much sense the way they got powered up. Sinon's battle was fine, but once again that stupid miraculous electrode shows up for no reason. Leafa's eye... fuck that needless body horror. People losing their limbs and such all just to make things edgier, while basically none of them have any actual consequence. I also find it hilarious how all these superaccounts are barely any better than the Integrity Knights, all the while Vecta and PoH had much more power and could even keep their powers god knows how after coming back with a completely different account. The elevator scene... That's it? The guy just falls down to his death after revealing himself half an episode later. PoH's backstory was lame as well. Hating japanese people cause you had a half-brother who was preferred. I mean I get that it was traumatizing him his whole life, but this is just stupid. Also, good to know people can just log into SAO even after it being locked down. And who was keeping him alive in the real world? His mother? At this point I just want Kirito to finally awaken and deliver us from this stupid season. |

| Omg he's in for heaven soon. How many babes thirsting for him, at least 5 good ones. They've been waiting for ages to ravish him My favs Alice and Sinon get first dibs |

| a-1 actually made a good change in the adaptation lol much better seeing eiji and yuna than seeing the torture scenes (which were really bad in the novel) ayy, higa is so precious, must protecc the classroom LOOKS GORGEOUS, god dammit the next episode is gonna be awesome just don't fuck up a-1, remember that ONLY ONE person is able to wake Kirito up, and that person isn't a thot 4/5 |
 |
| Who the fuck was that? Am I supposed to know who Eiji and Yuna are? Even if I am, did they even do anything to affect the story? Looks like it was a pointless effort, though, and I'm left more confused than when the episode started. |
 |
| This anime is so freaking shité |
| That scene of Leafa getting a freaking spear thrown through her eye was unexpected, but cool. Finding these brutal moments is like easter eggs |
| No idea who those two characters are. I haven't seen the movie. |
| They have just given up caring about even a vague attempt at game rules. At least before they vaguely followed the arts that the world used but now its just whatever goes. What was the point of moving their accounts across if they can be held by a lv 1 scrub account? what even are skills anymore? randomly biting. What about character motivation, look we got a new character who we need to care about because he was in sao and look the bad guy is racist because someone he disliked was Japanese oh no! Oh and look the Chinese are attacking the horrible japanese hackers but can somehow talk to them perfectly in japanese! I know sword art has always be awful at this but this season is really reminding me how lazy the writing is. |
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| I don't like how everyone relies on kirito like some god. I hope he doesn't wake up and everyone gets slaughtered. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Woahh Eiji and Yuna from OS, so that was the meaning of another SAO server that was suddenly alive at previous credit scene. Was that an anime original ? IIRC OS LN was created after the movie aired. Too bad even with Yuna's hyperbuff and enhanced Eiji they still couldn't beat POH, well after all he'll be Kirito's opponent XD.. good thing Leafa could hold the enemy and Sinon at least could deal quite heavy damage on Subtilizer good grief Rinko acted quickly and saved Higa on time so he could do his works and working on Three goddess STL toward Kirito, now Kirito's Awakening getting closer cmon.... |

| Sing Art online *cough* |
 |
| THAT SPEAR THROW THE FUCK |
 |
| He is waking up, finally! |
 |
| This episode had all the pros that I try to point out in SAO! Great backstory for POH that gives more weight to his actions aside just being evil. Great Callbacks with Enji & Yuna, because I honestly thought we wouldn't see them again after the movie. Great Action from Leafa & Sinon to really dig into the desperation to chip away at the enemy |
“You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Things more important then what your hunting for, could be right there on the side of the road.”  |
| It's about time Kirito woke up. A season and a half in Vegie state, that's rough. I'm glad whatever happened in Ordinal Scale came back to play a role in this arc. |
| My god this episode was brutal ! love it. Seems like Aincrad Online, Alfheim, Gun Gale, Ordinal Scale are all joining in a full final turn here ! Its own Infinity War. It was cool to see Eiji & Yuna again Great fights |
| Sometimes too creepy, sometimes too cheese, a lot of time deus ex... but damn, this is one of most brutal SAO seasons I watched. I don't remember what it has to do with SAO itself but it's good and I like it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Yanai's fall got a chuckle out of me. |
 |
| I don't even remember who that couple was, but they certainly didn't do much. Felt quite like the pointless episode. |
| A few years ago, I stopped after the first Alicization season because I didn't like how quick the pace was. I decided to continue recently. I still way too quick, they are ditching all flavor text, and now they are ever bringing filler characters... Serisouly. |
| Sword Art Online works best when it is one on one engagements, so this episode works in a way the previous ones of this cour just haven't. PoH is one of the best villains SAO has, and his presence and villainy did a great deal to help this episode. This is in spite of how this episode ignores the part of PoH's backstory that is interesting. It focuses solely on his hatred of Japanese people as opposed to the fact he was a professional criminal and killer before he entered SAO. It looks like the big battles are over, so I hope the cringest parts are over as well. |
| Wait I'm pretty sure Yuna was supposed to be dead, what's happening!! It's finally time for Kirito to wake up and save this and I don't mean just the war. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Another wild episode, PoH messes around with Kirito like an asshole until Eiji and Yuna from Ordinal Scale show up, and the fight between Eiji and PoH was pretty awesome with its animation and music, especially with how Eiji transformed into his KoB outfit. PoH's past was also shown too. Unfortunately, Eiji lost and after both Eiji and Yuna left and the red players notice the Laughing Coffin emblem on PoH. PoH then uses his dark power to control the minds of the red players, having them fight each other. Sinon isn't doing very well and Leafa, my god, poor Leafa, that was just brutal. Thankfully, Kojiro helps save Higa by throwing something down to scare Yanai, causing him to fall off. With the self image of Kirito from Asuna, Leafa, and Sinon, Kirito is finally going to wake up, with Eugeo also making an appearance. It's time for the Black Swordsman to shine and save the Underworld, this is EXCITING. |
