The biggest question is - did Asuna wear a bra in that last scene?

Nope, She was covering her chest with the blanket.

Good episode, A-1 did a good job there portraying that laughing coffin guy, he was just ... sick.


Dat kissu scene was a memorable moment, and Asuna's happy face, smile at Kirito when agreeing his proposal was unforgettable. Damn here she comes, tsundere Asuna.

Aside from that, well it escalated quickly though, they put a bunch of things into this episode, made Kirito x Asuna relationship grew faster than natural. Overall it was a decent episode, but it would be much better if they slowed it down, only if a little bit.

And please people, stop talking about sex here ...

So... during the fight with the time stop and everything turning red. Was that Heathcliff's special move or something? I'm not really sure what happened there. And Heathcliff's look afterwards, it makes me think Kirito made him reveal something he didn't want to.

And no they didnt "do it", lol, well didn't in the LN anyway and I don't see how it looks that way in the anime either.

It definitely looks like they did it, all you have to do is read Asuna's body language. She's naked, pretty giddy after being woken up by a surprisingly calm Kirito who is next to a naked Asuna, and they are ready to get married?

All signs point to them doing it.

Well, apparently in Sword Art Online you can grow back your hand if it gets cut off.

I was really expecting it to be a permanent injury, and Kirito would no longer be able to duel wield, but I guess not.

Overall, it was a good episode though.

I thought so too, would have been an interesting development.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

I thought someone would nitpick at that little detail, but the problem with that theory is that Asuna was totally OK with Kirito waltzing into her room while she's sleeping naked, and didn't even feel all that embarrassed bra-less infront of him, yet was in shy-overload mode back in the dinning room wearing her underwear. Therefore - [no sex theory] does not compute.

Hemm..

Kirito's hand = cutted off -> She cries so much like it was permanent (and i was thinking that too)
next scene = hand back right at its place, in perfect time to drink the tea = wtf? Do i have suppose that the "heal"-thing also lets you grow-back bodyparts? o_O? (and that they used another "heal"-skill/item like when she just got there to help him?)
i mean, it's a game, i could even "believe it", but they really didn't mention it at all D: so i'm loosing the point here... @_@/

i didn't get it to be honest o_o

"A single candle atop the table stayed burning; its thin rays of light made Asuna's skin glow faintly as she slept in my arms. I ran a finger gently down her white back; the warm and smooth feeling that traveled up from my fingertips was absolutely intoxicating. "

Felt like they did have sex, yes.

Something definitely seemed wrong in the fight. Ima guess he cheated in some way, they'll uncover it, and he'll get out of the guild. Just a guess though

(I have not read the light novel so this is what I thought)

Yeah same here I though that he was going to lose his duel wield and have to find a way to heal himself or something. Since when did Kirito go from badass loner to submissive bitch. The duel was awesome but getting married hell no that ruined it for me. I should have read the novel because im extremely disappointed. Though props to Kirito for landing asuna.

Overall 3/5
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

Yea that wasn't his unique skill, they mentioned before the match that his unique skill raises his attack and defense(defense to Op lv) that being said something was definatly fishy with the match. Other than that Kirito in the guild color just didn't feel right but all in all it was a solid episode with the nice bonus of seeing Kirito's and Asuna's relationship grow.

Hey, Jesus can lose fights too!

It was so obvious that Asuna would save Kirito. Also obvious that in the fight Kirito would protect Asuna. KIRITO-KUN, YOUR HAND. ;__;

Nice buildup to showing that that guild leader guy would be insane. By nice I mean none at all.

I still love Asuna though, she's fucking awesome. Especially when she's raging and kicking ass. And that kiss, oh god that was great. I just hope theres more buildup on their relationship. They've known each other for what, four episodes? The implied sex makes it worse.

Other then these things, it was an alright episode I guess. I just don't get why the score keeps on rising, nothing that amazing has been happening other then the side stories. inb4numberoneanimeattheendoffall

didn't like this episode that much.. it was okay-ish, but I seriously hoped for a lot more, especially after the last episode, which was awesome in my opinion.

and all in all the episode feeled a little bit to "rushed".. but I think that's a necessity with only 25 episodes.. sadly

I don't think she cried 'cuz of the hand/arm. She forced him to push himself really hard and kill of a human being. And if I remember correctly, it's mentioned later sometime(might have been in another volume) that it's something similar to that.

Yeap it was too rushed so their development seemed a bit unnatural.

It's not about Kirito's hand cut off that Asuna cried ( and even I don't remember his hand was being cut in the novel so you can say that scene was an extra), she was about to kill Kuradeel, but she stopped and he took advantage of her softness. At that time, Kirito came in and made a finish move, he killed Kuradeel in place of Asuna to relieve her from sense of guilt, remember, it's a murder, a heavy crime. It's gonna leave a scar in mind for rest of a person's life.

So basically was, Kirito sacrificed himself to protect Asuna.

Why so mean? What did tsubasalover do to you.

Great episode , i loved it so much, can't wait for the next one, i wonder what will happen, i want to see more kiss scenes. I have this weird feeling that that Heatcliff will actually be the evil guy behind it all.
I like trains.
You just read my mind. Kiss scenes were awesome in this episode, they were totally natural. I actually have the same feeling, he is the evil guy, isn't he? He looks like a grown-up after-all.

about losing hand thing. It's kinda obvious that in games losing bodypart is debuff at worse and not something permanent. Players don't die from blows in fatal points, why won't they recover lost parts then?
