Lol recon didn't know that once a girl is in kiritos harem it's impossible for her to leave.

And I love how no one gave a shit about recon after he sacrificed himself. They were like fuck that little green bitch.

Also, I didn't know Kiritos hax allowed him to use the giga drill breaker

GRAND EPIC battle is GRAND EPIC! I liking that Recon boy, he got guts to sacrifice himself and self-destruct. MOST EPIC part gotto be when Kirito combine his sword with Lyfa's sword for that final blow. Look at those EYES!!! THAT FURY!!!!!! WOW!!!

Despite the serious flaws with the series, I have to say, it certainly does do fight scenes the right way.

Really disappointing and unrealistic fight scene. I lost count on how many times they just took a break to have a little heartwarming chat, or to just stare after Kirito's retreating form, and through all of that the attacking... things... just stood (flew?) around doing nothing.

Not to mention the steadily increasing number of incorporated clichéd scenes, dialogues and just-in-time rescues. This series started out so great, but it's turned into such a huge letdown if you ask me.

As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

This episode might no be of great quality depending on how you look at it, but I actually liked it very much. The problem between Kirito and Suguha couldn't have been resolved in any better way.. not that it got really resolved but still. The duel felt nice. The party/raid encounter was really epic, I was just shivering while I watched it.

On paper this episode really didn't contain much quality(as SAO as a whole actually), but one of the strongest aspects of this anime in my opinion is the immersing feeling you get while watching it. It might even seem funny what awe you feel while watching it, if you look it in way that everything happens in a video game. Not that this is the point.

I expected bit more from a fight like this :/
It's funny how Recon' big scene was pretty much useless. He should have waited a few more second for the back up... Wait, the back up. How did they know they were in there? And of course they've arrived just in time.
And what about that move Kirito just pulled out of his ass? Was that dual wielding at all? It would have been fine if he did like a spinning attack with the two swords or some shit like that, not some kind of a new overpower attack.

I also expected more from the dispute from the fight between Suguha and Kirito, it wasn't really bad, but it just felt rushed and weird.

This is gonna be an AWESOME climax. Resolution of Suguha's storyline was nicely done, had some great action and it felt like it's all building to a bombastic conclusion. Can't wait to see how it all ends. 8.5/10.

I think the Giga Impact style that Kirito used with the two swords was pretty smart. He knew going head to head against them would take a long time, maybe even impossible since more and more fighters appear. So by combining the swords into one sword and using his speed to his advantage he was able to create a hole and break through the barrier.

Good episode ,and now comes the good parts. Save Asuna.

That was soo intense. OMG I didn't think the action could get any more suspenceful, this final clash through the guardians was amazing, Recon using the self destruct and then all of the rest of the members kaguya's alliance show up to help out and that last image 0_0. Of kirito taking both of his duel wielding swords and smashing through to the end, the expression on his face. I got serous goose bumps in this episode.

Finally he reached the top and its great that him and Suguha finally worked out their differences and she chose to help him rescue asana. The end is upon us, i can't wait till he comes face to face to the mastermind behind all of this, that twisted SOB Suguo. (Suguha and Suguo, they almost have the exact same name xD)

That speech about the real world and the virtual world being similar in the fact that you can know somebody even if it's online if you trust them enough (or something like that) that Kirito made is so true.
And that green-haired kid is now officially a badass. Same as Kirito, but he was always a badass since Episode 1 XD That huge fight with that army was awesome!
Also, it's time to save Asuna (well, I hope so, at least...)! :D

Despite all my gripes I'm still really enjoying this series and I actually care how it ends!

Weird, doesn't feel there's enough time to destroy that guy holding Asuna, free all the other captives, and show who Kirito ends up with in 2 episodes.
Such junk...

Kirito is as OP as always. I forgive him though. That was one heck of an exciting charge.

''You need an admin pass to open this door...''. Sugou be trollin' :P

But hey, he got that little OP hacked puppet, so it's not an admin that will stop him!

We also learned that that when he get the two sword together, he literally become invincible. It was a bit deus ex machina that part.

Poor Recon, that wasn't the best declaration I've heard. Even more that he have been rejected by a punch in the guts xD
That was cool from his part, to help a total stranger that he know nothing about.

I found it kinda weird that the army didn't go for all and retired. I mean, to collect money and make that army was to conquer the world tree right? Then why did they stop in the middle of it? Kirito doesn't even care about the unlimited flying.

Lol, Recon's confession just earned him a punch.

Hmm, a duel between Leafa and Kirito. All I could say is...
Nice catch, Kirito! (^_^)

Recon using dark magic to self-destruct himself? Sort of badass.
Reinforcements and dragons? Freakin' awesome.
Kirito using Giga Drill Breaker? Lol, cool.

Dat OST tho.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Endless mobs to kill all day... that quest looks like fun.

Did Kirito really need Leafa's sword to do that rocket-sword thing? (where did her sword go when he landed on the roof?)

Hack-fairy Yui to the rescue.

Quite the epic battle, seeing everyone fighting together was awesome. But what happened to the guardians who can shoot arrows and throw their swords? Not complaining, just a minor thing I noticed. Kirito is sooooo close to Asuna now come onnn. And Recon was actually pretty cool this episode, nice sacrifice.

Some major "GGHHHHAAAA!" moments:
1. Suguha 'SOUL Punches' Nagata For doing literally what she did to Kirito!
2. Just for effect there are way more gourds this time!
3. Tactic of getting through the entrance works that could have been done years ago!
4. Suddenly everybody can be a Jesus!
5. Sudden flash of Kirito having a new eye color! Brownish orange?
6. Its nice to know in heartwarming moment when the other 2 races show up gets spoiled by the fact that they were all in it for the money!
7. 'Double sword Jesus move!'
8. Anime pulls a reverse gravity on us when Kirito is on that cocoon door thing so-much for flight time!
9.Sudden plot twist! "OK cue fairy knights again!"
10. The one thing Asuna Drops solves the problem!

Well at least the tiny little bug thing still starts the outro!
