That attack (which Alice somehow could use now) was cool, as well as the general's, but at the same time spending like 2 mins on the backstory of a new character won't me make suddenly care or even root for them. These episodes are just like the "integrity knight of the week" gauntlet of the previous season... Barely anything happens apart from showing each of them to be OP.
How wide is that ravine even? It seems way too narrow for so many enemies to just slip past and suddenly not being able to see any of the other troops of either side fighting.
I expected more from the two girls. Nice idea to entrust Kirito to them. I get that they had a traumatic experience, but then maybe don't start acting like you could actually save him from even a single goblin.
Asuna can't arrive soon enough, this big war isn't as good as I was hoping so far.

after being cameos for awhile finally Renly got introduced completely with his backstory an determination... plus direct "Release Recollection"

Bercoulli and Alice just took those enemy units with their sacred arts relentlessly, good grief souls/fluctlight from enemy absorbed by Alice so enemy has no resources to do Sacred Arts.

Lol, the difference between the knights and the monsters is too big, one attack and it`s game over.

That green hair knight earlier actions made me doubt the opening song, but his later action prove me wrong :)

It needs a good amount of courage to overcome your fear. Although the process is a bit too fast (and just seeing veggie-Kirito trying hard seems a bit too simple), but maybe that's just what he needed; A lil push to move forward

Omg that ending so amazing, I like this Alice.

And I take back what I said about those 2 "Integrity Knight" kids, I didn't expect them to really help, but that was great.

Also Renly was interesting, that backstory hurt. Maybe that's why they started using wooden swords.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

epic episode, great soundtrack, and Renly found the courage to fight and defeat the chief of the mountain goblins, that was satisfying and awesome. Renly's past, pretty rough and unfortunate, a friendly duel turns into disaster as Renly accidentally killed their friend. Renly also saved Tiese, Ronie and Kirito too while Kirito was clenching his swords, wishing to save them despite being lifeless. Linel and Fizel, the two little Integrity Knights, are skilled in fending off goblins and I'm pretty surprised by that. Luckily it looks like they aren't going to go after Kirito anymore and are going to follow Renly's request to protect Kirito, Tiese, and Ronie. Dark mages can't attack because there is no more energy left in the ravine because of ALICE'S AMAZING ATTACK, HUGE EXPLOSION, LETS GO ALICE! She is the GOAT of this season so far. Bercouli's air slash attack was awesome too, putting down all of the flying monsters in the sky.

2:49 I miss Quinella so much! She's so beautiful both in that outfit and naked. I got a hard-on just from looking at her!
7:45 I want to eat Tiese too!
Renly's mini redemption arc. He's decently powerful if he can get over his trauma.
Damn, that was a nice attack from Alice. The sound effects gave me goosebumps. I felt bad seeing that mage waifu army melted in an instant.

Alice's last move at the end gave me some Fate Series vibes. Started to like it.

Another great episode with banger soundtrack, seeing renly finally overcome his cowardly self and fighting on the Battlefield was satisfying. His sword skill can be quite handy against hordes of enemy like goblin and he used it quite well.

Berucouli is on the move, cutting down every single one of the minion while being on ground is just casual flex for the synthesis knights commander.

Alice taking all those dead human and as well monsters soul particle for her laser attack was kinda sad scene, she's taking all of their remaining souls knowing that even the monster do also bear the same souls as human, she's gonna bear a heavy burden but she's prepared to take it for her sake and kirito'kun sake as well.

Tho I kinda feel bad for all those big tidy witch mommy's who became the victim of Alice's excalibur attack ( ´,_ゝ`)

This episode was definitely a big step down compared to the previous one. The whole “philosophical” angle they tried to push, the idea that even monsters supposedly have a good heart or some hidden kindness, is the kind of stuff we see way too often in modern anime, and honestly, it’s getting old. It just feels like pointless nonsense at this point. I think everyone’s tired of this trend where creators try to turn everything into something “deep” or morally complex, even when it’s clearly meant to be evil.

Overall, pretty disappointing episode.
