I guess that he never thought about Dual before the fight with Eugene.And right after that he gave all of his money to the Lords....

Sorry Recon, but Sugu-chan isn't for you. She still belongs to his onii-chan and nothing else. :P

How did he get that card? Did I miss something last episode?
Yes.Asuna dropped it in the beginning of the ep.

His sword is a two-handed sword while his previous ones were one-handed.

If people like the LN so much, stop watching the anime.
Sick of the these "the LN is better comments".
If you think so, go read the LN again then.

They aren't mindlessly bashing it, and are providing reasons why its better. And why would anyone stop now, only 3 episodes left.

Think of it as this, DW in SAO is a stance, in ALO, its not a stance, its just equipping a weapon to your main hand and off hand, so anyone can do it.

The same way he smashed through all those guardians in the end when he received Suguha's sword - he's Kirito and he mostly slashes from the top with the big one.

Dual wielding doesn't require a skill. The <<Dual Wield>> skill in SAO gave him boni and the ability to use dual wield sword skills like starburst stream. SAO revolved around sword skills, so using two swords without the <<Dual Wield>> skill and losing the ability to use sword skills was completely unviable if you wanted to survive.
ALO doesn't have sword skills, so there is no penalty to using two swords if you have the combat experience to utilize this style.

THAT Drill moment and Kirito face... Pace was much better than previous episodes. At-least he entered in the final realm.

It would've been lot better without cheesy drama and that early fight. I think Author is so much obsessed with drama overall. I wish if he had just keep it a bit straight even if that imouto loves his onii-chan.

Irrelevant? It's a bug in the system. He already said he was a cheater instead of a BETA tester (beater) this time around. I was explaining why he retained dual wield. Go back and watch episode 16

Can't use dual wield? He's been using it all this time. Right it isn't a "named" skill but is it pretty clear he is dual wielding

This episode was one of the cheesiest I've seen all year. There were so many things in this that had me laughing for the wrong reasons I don't even want to begin to list them off. Recon's self sacrifice was probably the biggest face palm moment for me Sigh.... Almost to the finish line Hybrid you can make it.....*whispers to self*

You dont need a skill for ANY move in ALO.As long as you have experience with it you can use it.

We have been saying this since the fight with Eugene.

Well that was pretty much entertaining, at least not focused too much on the romantic stuff. Nice music at the final scene. Though from now on it's pretty obvious that will be in the next 2 episodes.
Btw obviously healers should get some aggro on them too, so if tank is not good enough they will be targeted.

Loved this episode. 2 to go, I can't believe it. It's pretty obvious they'll do a 2nd season, anyway.

Also, by the looks of it, I guess we won't see more of Silica and Liz this season. They COULD animate the part where they show up after rescuing Asuna, but I doubt that will happen.

I just felt sad for Recon though, since when he confessed all he got was a punch.

Oh man, Racon went ham, and exploded lol, and damn that was some World of Warcraft raiding right there when that help arrived.

Looking forward to next episode and "Asuna rescue thing" conclusion, cuz' last episode (ep 25) will probably be Asuna and Kirito chillin' in real world.

And lol'd at that Elf boss locking himself up.

Great episode overall. I was a tad bit dissapointed in a couple of things tho, first the drill, and i get what everyones saying about how it made more sense, and kirito doesnt have dual wield, but i mean in his fight with general eugene it still looked awesome, so why not again, even if it isnt more effective? Also, Im glad that sugu and kirito r friendly again but I did want kirito to make sugu realize that he loves Asuna, instead he told her that he has a chance. Maybe im sounding ignorant bc i havent read the LN, but im an Asuna fan and i dont want any competition from kirito's cousin

Honestly why do they seem so surprised about getting help from the the two races they knew they were coming and even welcomed their aid in a previous episode and to even as why they tried alone. Kirito is an mmo play and should understand that to progress further it should be treated as they did in SOA. Not to mention i think in a previous episode where he was in the hospital he was told how long until the marriage was happening so correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think he is in a drastically huge rush? I don't know if its just me but it feels like as this anime goes on it continues to develop more and more plot holes and also I feel that they keep pushing the dues ex machina/main character=superpower notion just too often.

I was laughing and laughing when Recon sacrifices himself for no reason at all. Leafa gets all sad as if his death actually meant something. She later sees Kirito getting sliced up and just stares in awe, tears flowing, and then goes 'oh right, I need to be healing'.

I think the fact that Kirito can die in the elf game has made him retarded. No longer is he thinking logically, now he just rushes in with his wang flailing about. And why shouldn't he? It's not like it matters if he dies.
Good note on the time limit. Even more evidence to Kirito being a retard. :P
