While it was certainly over the top, i don't think the scene per se was wrong.

It was not out of nowhere, as we were told about how Frenica has to undress and "help" Humbert with his bath. And it's not like people in power never abused those they have power over. Heck, every second movie about the middle ages deals with some noble raping a commoner. On top of that, they mocked Eugeo all the time and wanted to get back at him.

What makes me wonder is how it is not a violation of the taboo index. According to the SAO wiki, the taboo index includes taboos related to kissing, stealing, hurting people ("lowering their life"), destroying stuff and so on.

Apparently the kissing one is only with respect to kisisng on the lips. Maybe so parents are allowed to kiss their kids foreheads or whatever. Still, did they seriously not do that while doing basically anything else?

Stealing is taking away stuff. Could be an apple. Bam, taboo index. But taking away someone's control over his/her life is okay? And they didn't "steal" their swords or cloths (as in, removed them from where the girls put them without their consent)?

They didn't damage any of their clothes? Whats with the cloth they used to bind them, and which Humbert used to bind his arm? Where did that come from?

And lowering life only refers to bleeding or what? What about blunt force trauma? And can people loose their mind in that world? And they never intended to do anything that would lead to bleeding? Not biting, no hard slap? What about the bonds? If it's too tight, and it constricts blood flow? Still no "lowering of life"?

And Eugeo had to fight the taboo index when he wanted to get closer, and lost his eye when he drew his sword. Nothing happend when he, immedatiely afterwards, sliced Humberts arm off - the taboo starts with the intention.

So even if rape itself is not in the taboo index, theres a lot of things on the list that should be difficult to avoid when doing so, especially when it's people like Humbert and Raios who like to hurt people. Like it often is the case in real life, it was all about overpowering, humiliation, hurting people (Eugeo mostly). Not about having sex.

And then we have the weird case of Alice, barely "crossing" the border with her fingertips, with no intention of doing so, and it's immediately confirmed that she has broken the taboo.

So not only are there loop holes in the law as written, each rule is interpreted differently (some as written, some as they might have been intended etc.) or the whole index is interpreted as seen fit.

Unless it's explained why this is the case, *THAT* is bad writing. As the taboo index, which is long established in universe, and quite strict, but an invention just for this story is bend, circumvented and ignored just to fit the story, instead of creating an index that fits the intended story in the first place, or working within the self imposed limits.



I've been told it gets explaind more and you missed the noble law thing where higher nobles can punish nobles and someone use that law to do punishments like that. Unless the taboo index dosnt see anything wrong with it as it's following under the authority law of nobles in which case its probably a intentinal loophole

How many rape attempts is this now? kek


How much ?!

Only maybe two times. SAO 2 and SAO3

Asuna does not count because he was not even trying to rape her, all he did is lick her face and touch her. I never understood why people call it rape !!

Its so funny to see all the vanilla and salty comments in this thread over something that was setup to happen from jump street given how vile these two characters are

Man its such a crime that a writer would have the audacity to include something as unrealistic and unthinkable as rape, even though this type of thing happened a lot throughout history especially by noble cunts like this

Man the SAO writer should just take his fan fiction ideas and be thrown in jail for doing such a thing

Everyone that is okay with seeing how fucked up the world and people can be should feel bad and kill themselves, our pure vanilla ice cream eyes and naive outlook on the world should not have to be tainted by this

5/5 episode though, glad those cunts got what they deserved in the end. I just wish the other one died too

Again.
I don't know if it's going to go on this way but I wasn't ready for it. To me it felt like I wasn't watching SAO but something else although it wasn't a bad episode.
Don't know if it's bad or not and now I'm not understanding what the tone of the show should be, but whatever it's SAO so i don't really care......

This thread is basically Week 1 of the Fall season with Goblin Slayer all over again except this time with the popular title. Guys...did y'all really think you were going to get an arc in SAO that didn't have a rape scene? I mean, there was a pseudo-rape scene in Fairy Dance, then Sinon almost got raped in the Gun Gale arc, like...really y'all?
Don't believe the hype.

Is there gonna be rape scenes ahead? I really don't mind being spoiled, I just want to know what to expect, because I can't handle rape and NTR. If our main girls are gonna be raped or even just kissed or licked again, that would be hard to handle!

Please spoil me, Senpai!
if im not mistaken. until the last of this arc wont be any rape again. but there will be a lot of bloodbath and more gore than before


I'm fine with gore and blood, but rape or even just attempting to rape is too painful for me. Even just stealing girls is a bit difficult for me to watch!

So it will be just blood and gore [no ntr stuff] until the end of this arc, but what about next arcs.. I heard this season is gonna cover more than one arc, right? I appreciate it if you'll tell me about that too.

I joined this site quite a while back and rarely see the need to write something...but:

How some of the haters here have made it to episode 10 in the THIRD SAO season just to complain is beyond me, thats quite the effort just to shit on this anime.
If you dont like it just put it on your dropped list and score it 1 you numbskulls.

I went out of my way to check some of the profiles of those haters and with a mean score of under 6, i am wondering why these guys even watch anime.

Well their standards are very high, you know. They are like anime expe... no, they are Gods. And since 1/10 exists as a rate so they have to use it all up to punish those below them and make the anime industry improve with so-called "criticism". Don't you know that they made the Earth goes around the sun and called that a Fak?

I was not expecting that from SAO. lol.

I don't like sexual abuse in stories. It feels like a cheap way to show that the saviour is a hero and the abuser is a c*nt. Still, the abuse scene didn't feel like it was just there to shock us as it drove Kirito and blond Kirito to break the taboo index and move forward. Plus, they showed the abuse the right way. Instead of focusing on the naked girls like Goblin Slayer did, they focused on the horrific act and the ugliness of the attacker.

The tongue was gross. Why do they add that in anime characters?

The violence by the two Kiritoes seemed a bit too much, but I'll forgive it. That scene was so satisfying.

The marks in Eugeo's eye said 'System alert.' lol. I feel stupid for not being able to read that when it was first shown in episode one.

I liked that the protagonist wasn't the one to save the girls. Instead, they were saved by someone else, and that someone else was saved by the protagonist.

Is the Alice the real Alice? The way she spoke, it sounded like there are many Alices, and she was one of them.

So far, I am liking it. Although, I am kind of afraid that this will become bad again, like SAO usually does.

And they didn't just save them, but they also saved Frenica

Incredible how with just a simple warning at the beginning of the episode you get this tense sensation; waiting for everything to go wrong Those heartbeat SFX didn't help to lessen the effect. What is the same, it seemed that the episode was gonna be good.

I highlight that in this episode they answered a question I had about WHY those two could do everything they wanted without no higher power correcting them while still being students. It was not just the "Oh, I am a noble (and the bad guy) so I do whatever I want" but it was, once again, cause the Taboo Index which grants them authority above anything else. They could do all they did because as nobles, they could "punish" by their rules, even if those terms were against the taboo Index, which in this case, they were. I am fine as long all reasoning is within the rules of the lore they lay down in this story, which so far has been the case.

Very interesting how the fluctlight "bugged" as he found a... paradox? in whether save his life or violate a taboo. I suppose this will be left for a little bit more down the line.

Another thing I want to add is that the sound effects were incredible. From the clock tic tac and the heartbeats to the creak of the swords clashing and the energy impacts, all of them were charged with overwhelming energy which is appreciated.

In the end, I am glad their superior recognized the true merit of Eugeo's actions and Kirito's true purpose in this world and that they are both destined to greater things. I'm eager to know how the reunion of this duo with Alice will play, as I assume she holds no memories of them.

I don't like it either but as it is a strong emotion in real life, it is used on a story to convey something. If cheaply used it will look awful, but if it is used well it can be the cradle of awesome and emotional scenes. The problem is when they use it to make fanservice; sadly as Goblin Slayer did on episode 1. Here you can't see fanservice, rather, you focus on the horribleness of the act itself and how the victims and even the savior are unable to do something about it.

Yep, knew there was gonna be a rape scene as soon as they showed that warning screen. Of ourse there's a rape scene. Just binged all the a available episodes and I've been enjoying it so far, except when they go back to "the real world".

Judging by the reaction of Alice and her full name, she either has her memories removed, have amnesia for breaking the taboo, or simply forgotten about Euogne or whatever his name is. In other worlds, she'll have no recollection of her past and will be a totally different person than the Alice they once knew. I've basically guessed the entire plot point so far so I'm pretty confident that I'm gonna be right. Well, guess we'll see next week.

Reki Kawahara explained that his reasoning for having these is at the time of writing - 2005 - majority of the light novels he read that inspired him used this trope. Just as the 90s were full of the "edge" characters that were super popular but are seen as laughable now when they show up.

I must admit, seeing Raios jump into the bed with that pose and his loooooong tongue sticking out did make me laugh a bit.

In all seriousness though, his and Humbert's action to Tiese and Rione was vile. It was a proper tough scene to watch through as Eugeo really struggled to defy the taboo index which gave both Raios and Humbert the right to pass judgement on lower noble classes.

When Eugeo finally snapped and cut off Humbert's arm, I was applauding. I was applauding again when Kirito came along and ultimately killed off Raios, who had one hell of a creepy bugged- out spazm before he died.

With all of this happening, I wasn't expecting both Kirito and Eugeo to meet up with Alice again. What happens next, I have no idea. I can't help but question if Alice still has any memories of her time with Eugeo and Kirito before she was taken away.

We'll find out next week, hopefully, so great episode once again.

SAO never actually had ntr stuff and the attempt rape-ish EP u see here also never actually succeed, not even in the light novel.

But anyway, no there will not be any more scene like this not even attempt rape.
so you are fine.
and check author's tweet translation : https://i.imgur.com/XmbZzTb.jpg

he said these kind of novels were popular back then when he was reading novels and writing SAO. so he used these a bit too much.
but he said he try to not use it anymore lol
Considering he write SAO from 2001 to 2008 ( end of Alicization ) and his new arc is started writing in 2017-2018 ( Unital Ring ). u can be sure the new arc is more "new" in new style lol

I'm fine with gore and blood, but rape or even just attempting to rape is too painful for me. Even if stealing girls is a bit difficult for me to watch!

So it will be just blood and gore [no ntr stuff] until the end of this arc, but what about next arcs.. I heard this season is gonna cover more than one arc, right? I appreciate it if you'll tell me about that too.



SAO never actually had ntr stuff and the attempt rape-ish EP u see here also never actually succeed, not even in the light novel.

But anyway, no there will not be any more scene like this not even attempt rape.
so you are fine.

This is really good news!
The thing is, I watched that scene of Asuna in the 1st season, then I watched Noumi of Accel World, and then this.. so I thought the author loves this kind of stuff!

I know there's been a couple of attempted rapes in SAO before now, but I still didn't expect the show to go to it again. What I find more interesting though is the presentation of Kirito and Eugeo breaking the Taboo Index: naturally, it's effortless for Kirito as he's an outsider in this world, whereas Eugeo had to physically force himself to break it and lost his eye in the process (I thought the Taboo Index wasn't normally broken because people fear the Integrity Knights, but it seems like it physically can't be broken, at least in normal circumstances). The reunion with Alice wasn't too surprising, but I'm sure she won't have any of her memories so it will be interesting to see where we go from here (assuming we don't abruptly jump back to the real world soon).

nah, for most authors it dosen't really matter if they like it or not for these kind of scenes,
they mostly look for a way to create the most hype and drama to make a more impactful scene.

1-2 decade ago the popular things was these kind of novels when they wanted to create a lot of hype or tension, they used the "sexual assault card" many of them even had full on rape.

I remember quite a few example i saw before, or things like The Sacred Blacksmith, had the main Female character raped and no one outraged at all.
but man years later when they tried to give this old novel an anime they changed it so she is not raped coz people made an outrage ! lol

this is just one example of how the audience change over time. fortunately nowadays this is happening less and less.

If they adapt the new volumes, we will have something similar but lighter in the future.

You probably watched cruchyrol or horriblesub version which is even more censored. Instead of using dark shading they zoomed in and cut some scenes

Okay, if could keep that pacing now it would be nice. Seriously, since episode 9, I have the feeling that the story is finally taking off. If they could not ruin it by giving us a real world episode after that, that would be nice.

Also, I was so satisfied when the the two morrons were butchered. But hey, isn't that like real killing? If Kirito consider Eugio human, why not the two imbeciles? After the whole stupid plot point in GGO, and the "I forgot I had a trauma", it seems weird.


when kirito cut Raios, he didn't intend to kill him. in the real world it would be considered a fatal wound, but in the underworld he wouldn't die if the blood flow was stopped by a bandage or something and then treated with sacred arts. Thats why you can see Kirito getting the rope to help stop the blood loss.

the reason as to why Raios died because his soul (fluctlight) entered an "infinite loop" where he had to consider saving his own life or violating the absolute law of the world i.e the Taboo Index. if he made Humbert use the rope bound on his own arm to seal his wound, he would be breaking the taboo of intentionally reducing someones life. but if he didn't he himself would die. hence we see him fluctuating and stuff on the ground. As he wasnt able to come to a proper decision, he fluctlight broke down and his soul died before his body. thats why he was still bleeding even though he was dead. while bleeding even after death may be possible in the real world, in underworld blood will flow as long as one has their life value. So he shouldve been alive even as he lay on the floor.

Arguably the best episode of SAO 3 thus far.
I were almost getting bored of the story, but finally it's starting to get real interesting.

The atmosphere is really built right , and I actually feel anxiety and chill watching this episode.
I like how they don't shy away from showing the actual attempt rape, and Yugio step in way later than I expected too unlike most shonen which the savior comes way before the bad guy do their "deeds"
This is also done way better than Goblin Slayer. I literally feel nothing when those goblins rape the girls cuz the atmosphere is not there and you're not attached to any of the characters, plus they pull away camera and censor everything.

Also they don't shy away from gruesome bloody scene which is another bonus point.
Seriously more anime need to stop treating audience like kids and just show us everything that's suppose to happen.

PS: DON'T watch it on Crunchyroll cuz they're pussy to censor so much.

I am not sure if going a extreme gore genre is the correct track for this episode and I don't find myself amused by it. It seems predictable and boring. Oh look another uggly bastard trying to rape a girl close to xxx to hurt xxx. Wow and ppl belike this is so good and edgy this time when it was the same with fairy arc that asuna scene which probably same with a thousands more hentai and doujin. Well Sword Art Online is quite entertaining to watch (well most people will like the fight scenes) but compared to others light novel it is really incredibly shallow.The writer choose this way to move on the plot where eugeo break the tabbo index and eventually meet alice. I can't help it but I don't really like this part of the story. It is pretty obvious a "normal person" will be triggered by it and some others who like dark themes enjoy it so there is no point to argue just the same reason with ppl like or hate Goblin slayer.

Okay wow
When that sexual content warning appeared at the Start of the episode I was like what?
But after watching through it, this episode is the bomb. The last few episodes were stagnant and this more than made up for it. Those bastards really deserved what they got. Finally some death and gore and now we'll see the story move on from swordcraft acadamy.

Ps: is it me or does kirito feel way less OP in this installment.

I think people are overreacting about this episode.

It wasn't an act to show some "rape fetish", it was an action to see how fucked up the taboo index is and how fucked up the fluctlights act just because they have "superior" hierarchy, and intending to show us how taboo index doesn't have morality at all and rules=/=being good. The biggest role for this was to see how Eugeo managed to break the taboo and act freely in an unexpected situation without thinking about "rules"

Also people saying that both Raios and Humbert are "one dimensional" characters are wrong.
When a character serves a purpose (and a good purpose, specially for development of a main character) they are not one dimensional. Raios and Humbert are the kind of character-irl person who believes that they have power because they were born in high class or with high privilegies, and that's how people act, they do whatever they want and if you oppose them use their status to punish you even if they're clearly wrong morally and logically. They were used perfectly fine to show how taboo index is retarded and fluctlights are no different than humans.

I don't even know what people expect of characters that are clearly written in a specific way to be for one purpose. To be flexible? I will never get why having a sole personality or purpose is "Bad character writing" lol

I don't support any rape or forced sexual situations but I understand if it serves a purpose more important than "shock factor" like other shows... Then it's "okay". This goes too with murder.
