| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh boy, that escalated quickly. Some characters in this episode are seriously so creepy with their "punishments". I felt bad for Tiese and Ronye there. No wonder Eugeo is beyond pissed this episode. That Raios guy is one creepy bastard. I noticed they censored some of the scenes, wonder if BD/DVDS will remove them. About time Kirito came there and kicked their ass. Those bastards deserved it....especially Raios. |
 |
| Well this episode certainly answered how gory & messed up the adaptation will be from here on out. They certainly didn't hold back, like jesus christ. Knowing what's ahead makes me almost scared. I legit felt discomfortable and disturbed during 3/4 of the episode which was the intended effect. |
| Kouhais not back for 3 hours... That girl in question came to ask for rescue. She was asked again, and her roommates went to talk to him for her. So that guy caught those kouhais captive. His room is creepy. It's as if they are in illegal place. They used the law of being higher loyalty than them to begin to get a move on them. That again... Eugeo guy cannot move. Because Eugeo guy tries to break the rule, he hurt his eye, but able to attack one of them. Another guy was about to "punish" him, but main guy came to the rescue. Main guy won against him. Both their arms are cut and wanting their own blood to be stop bleeding. Because that long hair guy wanting to protect himself and broke the law, he died. It appeared again (the head when breaking the law). The teacher cured his eye, and gave them warning before going to that side. They finally met Alice, who doesn't seem to remember them. Eugeo guy seems to sense the familiarity. New OP and ED announced on screen after the ep.

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
 Man that was amazing. It really evoked emotions out of me. Not only that but the animation was very smooth. Idk how these japanese animators do it but they are extremely talented. I think this guy named Takechi (sorry if i am spelling it wrong) animated this scene. He is the main animator for the show. I am glad they ramped it up. The Japanese fanbase are loving it as well. Even making memes. Lets see how ppl will enjoy this episode. I think SAO fans are used to it since the first season and that Asada thing. Time to pull up the doujins. |

| Yesssss Alice is here ! ! My favourite parts start from next episode onwards omg !!! :D They made Raios' punishments there even more creepy than in the novels with the licking ewwww lol |
 |
| This was creepy af and I liked it. Can't wait for what's next. |
| lol that rape scene is so exaggerated i love it, there is much censorship too bleh i cannot be bothered to watch the BluRay version when it comes out and finally Alice shows up as an integrity knight? so those who violate the taboo index become integrity knights? |
| How many rape attempts is this now? kek |
 |

Ahhhhh I thought it was just the lighting XD |
| An interesting but also chilling ep. Things sure escalated here. To think that their goals was Tiese and Ronie though. Even for nobles their depravity sure knows no bounds. Eugeo's overcoming of the taboo index and the drawing his sword though was pretty impressive. It was eerie in how Raios managed to stay indifferent to his friends plight though. Kirito's save sure was timely. The dual between Kirito and Raios though short was impressive. Raio's last struggle between obeying the index or worry about his life was intriguing given how it ended. Tiese and Ronie though sure had a traumatic experience here. The magic in underworld though never ceases to amaze being able to reconstruct lost organs. Those were some wise parting words though. And Kirito and Eugeo finally have their reunion with Alice though not in the way they expected. |

Xenosaga-Izanagi said: it will be a 4 cour seriesIt escalated so quickly; I wonder if this series is just 13 episodes. |
 |
| no wonder the Taboo Index is not violated that much in the their world since you will get that system alert/error like from Eugeos eye and make your body unable to move anyway now i wonder whats that taboo index is for in the first place if you get that system alert/error anyway |
| I always wonder why SAO has to resort to depicting such sexual violence in order to evoke some kind of strong emotion from the viewer. It gets the job done sure, but is there really no other way to do it? Good episode though. Extremely well produced episode, real props to A1. The first half was legit incredibly hard to watch and they did really well to make those two a pair of disgusting scums. The worst kind, of course. I was really happy to see Eugeo overcome the taboo to cut that guys arms off. Extremely cool way of showing it as well with the system alert and the eye bursting. Kirito taking down the other dude was awesome as well and I'm very glad he died. xD Personally, I would've subjected the both of them to some nice slow torture before killing them. Unfortunately Kirito is too much of a nice guy to do that. xD Alice at the end, I love her armor. She looks so beautiful in it. <3 Seems like she doesn't remember either of them? Interesting. |
 |
| thats stupid CR version ugh. I cant believe they censored it. In the TV version it wasnt censored. |
| Wow... As someone that is not a fan of SAO (other than first 15 episodes) I must say this was incredible... This episode made me feel like back in the day when i just started watching anime and having a lot of fun. |

albador said: im asking if there is more rape scene in the next volume? just think im going to drop this series. stopped reading at like the last volume of the arc, before that there was no more rape-cannot say so about the last volume |
 |
| Wtf did I just watch? I didn't even feel I was watching SAO with all this otp goriness. Anyway, with everything that transpired Kirito and Eugo managed to reach Alice since they also broke the rules. Finally, Alice is here. |

| Who would've guessed that things would play out this way, surprise surprise. But seriously, this episode was comedy gold. Raios fucking jump and tongue, tho...   How long is that thing even ? At least we're done with this, guess the next episode will be an interesting one again. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It is the rape season hehe. Freaking died when Raios just jumped like that. |
 |
| Sexual assault is fucked up, but I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous it was when Raios jumped onto the bed like that lol. That, and his ridiculously long tongue. If you want me to have a strong negative reaction you can't start it off that way lol. Anyway, those smug bastards finally got what they deserved, especially Raios (thank god he's dead). The things that happened to Eugeo with his eye, and Raios as he died, were interesting. Finally, Alice has arrived (she looks a lot like Saber from Fate). |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Now this is where Alicization start getting freaking good. The main heroine finally make appearance! I waited so long for this. |

HiraKey said: Can't wait to see this thread will full of haters complaining more and more for this episode and probably from now on :)) It'll be so funny to read their comments XD Mattinator95 said: It's gonna be fun comparing western reactions to Japan's hyped reactions seriously on a few series accounts they loved it XD if anything, us "haters" are gonna have a field day roasting this episode lmaoo btw will there be more pear? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 🍐 |
 |
| The animation was awesome and the atmosphere was chilling for this episode. But I'm not a fan of how much SAO relies on rape as the main theme for many encounters like this. It feels too convenient story wise. |
| Oh my god I knew this day was coming since I read the LN yeaars ago, I knew this was gonna happen when the plot drive for Kirito and Eugeo to commit those "crimes" would appear. Needless to say, beautiful animated, it was exactly what I read, a lot of people be like "In the web novels they got blabla" but yeah no, the web novels aren't canon at all so you can forget about them. Finally Ms Alice is here, my babygirl, I've been waiting for you for almost 5 years now. ♥ On the go, this is gonna be such an epic comment section, with the overly fanboys and the narcisist haters, as matter of fact, already doing a good job entertaing me, specially someone who's so butthurt commenting pretending he's not lmao. |
 |
| God, I have seen thousands of "rape" scenes on anime, and I will always know that it would be interrupted, cuz then it wouldnt be on normal anime pages, but god this time I swear I really felt bad, Eugeo take his time to do something, its the first scene I watch that just one more second and the "rape" would be done, but at least the way it ended, like the death guy and his partner with a cutted arm, that was a really comfortable punishment, not just the common punch on the face, definitely this SAO arc looks great. |
| I am not going to lie this takes a lot of guts to even watch this episode. I knew this was coming eventually, but the way how it was done was to the uttermost best of the extreme. Even if it is for mature audiences or something this was not easy. Even for me, but I knew Karma at its' finest would happen. Even if it was a rule or law in order for a punishment that is suppose to happen. If I myself see someone I care about greatly,and they get a punishment that is not appropriate at all even if it is the peron's "right", I am not gonna sit my stupid butt there and watch. I would go in do the same thing that Eugeo and Kirito did. Call me stupid, but I would've done the same thing no matter what. Anyone can understand and see that. |
HiraKey said: moodie said: You asked a question and I answered. Just drop this if it bugs you. You wont get anything indepth about why ppl enjoy SAO. He always does this for all SAO threads You can enjoy yourself reading his reaction :) There will always be "those" triggered salty elitists that doesnt want you to enjoy what they dont enjoy, just ignore him and enjoy his salty responses. |
  |
| Thoroughly impressed by the delivery and direction of this episode. The animation and the dark theme made it very uncomfortable to watch, which is a good thing in this case. And the conclusion was equally satisfying. Hopefully the episodes to follow will have this level of delivery and direction. |
