| holy shiet it just got real right here@@@ |
 |
| that fight was like a massive tribute to Asuka's fight in End of Evangelion... |
| I'm crying right now. Nice episode, really liked the fight but found the way Sugu learned Kirito was her "brother" a little dissappointing But then right after that... :'( |

belatkuro said: I wasn't expecting much from the fight but I'm still satisfied by what I saw. Most of them were how the LN described it, from blocking with his left arm to throwing one of the guardians to another and stabbing them. The animation was fluid but some shots were pretty weird. Oh well. inb4 why was his HP bar dropping slowly And that Leafa/Sugu suffering, from the rescue attempt to the big revelation. Good performance by Taketatsu Ayana. inb4 forced drama and incest So they ended it at that part. Should be good next time, though the episode after next should be that. Better prepare myself for that. This ^^ Leaving that behind .. it was a really intense episode but i quite knew that he isn't gonna reach the top . 24 mins felt like nothing ... bippo said: You forgot the copypasta: |

| Good episode. Felt bad for Suguha. But the warning signs were there. Kirito/papa was always looking for "momma". doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out "momma" was most likely his lover/wife. Kirito is one devoted lovesick puppy. plowing along like a possessed demon. man, there's a lot of masochists watching this show. |
transcendent12 said: that fight was like a massive tribute to Asuka's fight in End of Evangelion... I second this XD |

 If you didn't see ANY of that coming, you must not have any brain cells. Seriously, this episode was pure MEH I just want to move on so it's done. Kirito was just raging from the patch troll, and Sugu's being... Sugu. I just want this episode to be done with!  |
| Suguha sure is an emotional roller coaster.. my god. I don't feel bad for her one bit. She's been a selfish brat the entire series. Also, how did Suguha not even realize who Kirito was before now? Same voice, identical hair/style. I mean..basically his chara sounds and looks just like him. AND did she literally -never- find out his name he used in SAO? It had to be in the paper or something, or heard by word of mouth.. Blah.. |
| Hahahaha I laughed so hard. The end of the episode was so wonderful :) Nice fight here. We got some tension. |

Takuan_Soho said: Let me add to your negative of Kirito.....Hybridbloodszak said: So when Kirito distanced himself from Sugu when he was little did he do it so he wouldn't get feelings for her? No, what started it was when Suguha stood up to his grandfather protecting him. Being saved by his younger sister made Kirito feel both guilty and even more like a loser. His inferiority complex (aside from a natural talent for computers) is what drove him into the VR world and is still with him when in enters the real world (the ending should have a great scene about this). In many ways he is like Haru from Accel World, though less spherical in nature. He also discovered that the people he thought was his mother and sister were actually his aunt and cousin, this revelation (which he took as a form of betrayal) propelled him further into his introverted cocoon. Suguha on the other hand, has no idea why he pulled away. She thinks it has to do with him finding out he is her cousin, and a lot of her emotional state is due to her not being able to figure out where she stands with him. .......About thee end, sadly it amounts to the following,  A curled up Suguha. F YOURSELF KIRITO! YOU RANKED DOWN MAN! You are a sore loser. Perhaps good to Asuna but a total jack shit towards Suguha. Way to fail on making a girl CRYING instead of SMILING! JERK! |
| The animation was fine this episode. Anyhow, I pity Kirito more than Suguha in this part. Kirito had a big big big problem and Suguha just added more into it. They did well in adapting this part. InfiniteDestiny said: Yeah, that! It's inevitable but I hope they will not prolong that. I hope they don't slow down the pacing. I wanna see the scene where it should be interesting to see how they pace the rest, really not looking forward to that |
| Awesome episode! I thought with the awkwardness that would come along with piecing together this fragile moment of truth between Kirito and Sugu would cause them to drag it on in order to either avoid it or try to get the audience to really look through her perspective. Instead, they had Sugu dive right into it and we could really feel as if she were screaming those words at us and we're trying to read into some of the words, trying to make it as if she 'tried' to fall in love, didn't really fall in love with Kirito and so on. Also, I think Kirito's rather half-composed "'I'm sorry" and rather casual body language wasn't all that realistic. Considering that his sister just confessed her love to him and his character in the game, I thought he'd be more torn by wanting to comfort her, apologize to her, and perhaps even be slightly disgusted by her as well as shocked and confused by what she's saying and what he's thinking. I expected a bigger reaction from him but one false move and I suppose he would become hated among the crowd so it is a wise move, in a way, that they merely had him slide down the wall with an unreadable face. It also shows that in a way, he KNOWS he's rather guilty because he's been flirting with the Leafa in the game way too much such as biting her hand as a 'joke', taking any excuse to tough her, not noticing her obvious blushes and etc. I think he deserves whatever treatment he gets from Sugu the next episode (and I hope she delivers it nice and bitter!) and that he should man up and seriously acknowledge her feelings and respond in an appropriate manner (which is one he'll have to figure out himself in this situation). |
| I don't feel sorry for Kirito's sister at all, frankly she's weird. She's in love with he brother but she knows that wont work out so she tries to fall in love with some random online. But more importantly the episode was good this week, the fight seen was great and the flashbacks of all the fights in the first game was good. |

rul said: I don't feel sorry for Kirito's sister at all, frankly she's weird. She's in love with he brother but she knows that wont work out so she tries to fall in love with some random online.. Well it's not like Kirito's been all loyal to Asuna either. Whether or not Sugu was Leafa, he still led Leafa on too and I would even go as far as to say he led his own sister on at rare occasions. |
| EPIC!! Best episode so far!! |

AND did she literally -never- find out his name he used in SAO? It had to be in the paper or something, or heard by word of mouth.. Blah.. She was NOT a selfish brat. She couldn't have completely confirmed it was her brother because 1. There would be a lot of Kirito-s because his name would be in the paper and etc. so Kirito couldn't have been the only one using that name 2. Voice can change, it's an online character 3. She probably saw some similartiies but that might be why she was falling in love with this new character and thought 'oh okay so I don't love my brother now that I've found someone like him' or something along those lines so she never really pieced it together properly. 4. Kirito flirts like crazy with Leafa whereas in real life he's more toned down and doing 'brotherly pranks'. Not many sisters see their brother's flirtatious sides and that's why she probably couldn't recognize his personality to be the exact same because he treated her differently. She's never seen or had her own brother flirt with her so of course she couldn't have been like "Oh yeah, my brother bites my hand all the time as a joke and uses any excuse to touch me in real life too! This must be him". |

| Man, I feel so stupefied right now. This whole time, I could of sworn Sugu knew that was Kirito. How did I not know earlier that Sugu didn't know it was Kirito?? |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |

Kurogashi said: well on the bright side, she has a brother who's so cool that you can fall in love with him twice bwhaha I wish I could thumbs you up but your profile pic already does it for me :P way to look on the bright side lol |
| So Kirito ended up breaking Suguha's heart, not once, but twice. Damn too sad. Poor Suguha. |

| 5/5, great episode enjoyed everything ASUNA *-* SUGUHA T_T KIRITO !!!!!!!!!! FIND ASUNA |

I don't know, maybe cause he flirted with her (as Leafa and even if he didn't know it was his sister, why was he flirting with any girl when he as Asuna his wife/girlfriend?), led her on, went from being nice to her when they were little to being a jerk in the middle and then after SAO, two years later when he just randomly comes back, he's all of the sudden really nice but still hiding the fact that he's not related to her. She's getting all these mixed signals, all these random pieces of information hid from her, and then being told and treated in another completely different way in Alfheim, how on earth do you expect her to grasp all this so easily without at least throwing a little breakdown moment in? PLUS, there's the possibility her brain was being chemically altered in the game, so don't forget that. |
 Amazing episode, 10/10 would cry again. |
 |
| ... I'm speechless in a bad way. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| it was not as good as hoped, did not happen too much, tho it was good that she finally found out, a bit strange she did not find out by herself, he looks exactly the same as irl in the game. but there was some good action in the tree. am i the only one who's annoyed they gave his sister big boobs ingame? |

| Duhuhu... |
| A not-so-bad ep. |
| This episode was so emotional, so good. I had my hand over my mouth from when Suguha made the realization (and did the same thing), until the episode ended. |
| Critic. |
| Well this was BRILLIANT episode. - Love how they handled the fight. I had fears considering the OP, but this was intense, emotional and well-animated(in some ways reminding on certain NGE fight scene where certain someone gets stuffed with spears). - The Kirito Reveal was awesome and emotional and Sugu's VA did a PERFECT job at portraying all those emotions. This is right up there with some of the best SAO arc episodes(which is not surprising considering this is one of better parts of this story arc) 5/5 Yumekichi11 said: A curled up Suguha. F YOURSELF KIRITO! YOU RANKED DOWN MAN! You are a sore loser. Perhaps good to Asuna but a total jack shit towards Suguha. Way to fail on making a girl CRYING instead of SMILING! JERK! He handled it very well, considering situation. Kirito(from his POV) never gave any indication for hope for Suguha in that kind of love. It was all Suguha and Kirito did not blow up at her in this scene and actually let her express her emotions, which is pretty much how a normal person would handle such situation. ALso he is clearly shaken up by all of this. AiCon said: I guess. I haven't really been paying attention to what he wears since Kirito has been wearing basically the same thing since he first got that coat from the first level boss in SAO. Considering what that coat/color stands for, for him, its not surprising. kaimax said: Isn't it sad Sacchin Suguha? lol Now now, that trope is reserved to Sachi. Suguha is obviously Akiha. |

Fai said: I can't agree with you. Despite trying his best as such you outline, it clearly is not enough and far far satisfactory. Clearly his shaking up goes back to his inability to reason with his psyche. Yumekichi11 said: A curled up Suguha. F YOURSELF KIRITO! YOU RANKED DOWN MAN! You are a sore loser.

ALso he is clearly shaken up by all of this. But then again no one can blame him on that one. It's all the SAO trauma fault. That being said, he instead should have showed some remarkable changes in his psyche. That of being through all made him stronger. Whom to me it looks like he is either still weak from the SAO stuff and never recovered from it truly or he failed to impress many on the NORMAL level and not VR wise.

| Great ep. Sugu finally found out, but damn this ep felt like it went by so fast. I wonder how they'll wrap this up in 3 eps lol. |

Ultimadrago said: Lol! This made my day. |
Yumekichi11 said: Im honestly not sure what you're trying to say, but lets put it like this: What would you have done at the point that she found out? |

Whom to me it looks like he is either still weak from the SAO stuff and never recovered from it truly or he failed to impress many on the NORMAL level and not VR wise. Dude still has habits from SAO(putting up the sword) and is disconnected(no pun intended) from real world. TWo years of near-death experiences like SAO are not something you just erase and it changes how you are. And no, its not about "making you stronger" - its about being damaged. And even if whole SAO never happened, the whole confession would still get same reaction - there's nothing he could say that could be of ANY use in that situation and being angry at her would do nothing too. He did not do anything wrong, he did not take advantage of her, nor try to, nor ever show any sort of indication of that kind of love towards Suguha. if anything Sugu suffers a bit from the whole "nice guy syndrome" (well or in this case "nice girl), which is not that different from other known characters like Sayaka from Madoka. Its not Kirito's fault and (in this case) its not even her fault, so all one can do in this situation is to let her cry her feelings out, which is what Kirito is doing. There's nothing he can do that would NOT make matters worse OR give her false hope. |
