And their entire Country, world is run by the Axiom Church, hmmm, where have I heard this before? Oh yeah.... Anyways, clap clap, good Episode. Those goddamn guys Raios and other guy deserved to lose an arm or two. Actually rape is forbidden, it's just the lowlifes found a loophole. Higher nobles can punish lesser Nobles how they see fit, which goes around the Taboo Index I think. Nevertheless, you are entirely right on the rest. Damn, they're smart, to think that those "Nobles" actually found this kind of loophole, they must be living the life, well until, you know, their arms got chopped off and now the other one is dead, now I wonder how the one's in the outside world(real world) are looking at this, surely they must have found out that someone has committed the crime that they wanted. |

Yeah one is dead and the other will have a hard time playing red hands that's for sure. Well the way I think it's that there are different Taboos and killing is probably the ultimate one which the real world is looking for, but since the one who killed is Kirito. The outside world won't be interested cause Kirito his human... Still makes you wonder, if Eugeo who is a good guy went through all that to brake a Taboo now imagine if a nasty guy breakes it too and what crazy shit will he do after in a world full of "sheep". |

| Can someone tell me why the Alcinization director douche is looking for NPC's with the ability to kill if on episode 1 we watched two of them killing each other in the dark world. Those two don't count for some reason not yet explained? |
iamYuyaSakaki said: jiroutachi said: Bro chill, it's just fantasyPeople in this 9th level of hell of a thread are admitting to enjoy watching rape and think it's perfectly fine to be turned on by a rape scene. And yet you think I'M pathetic? Man, this place really is God's personal garbage dump. It's like watching a bunch of flies hitting their fucking heads on a lamp over and over. Anyway @Sourire is right, these forums are swarming with trash, I'm not going to bother with any of you sick weirdos and edgy teenagers anymore, so peace and have a good day Not just fantasy, but a fantasy world within a fantasy-- with the victims being AI generated people who aren't even real in the fantasy world lol. |

| LMAO this episode was so funny. Alice hype. |
| Finally reached this episode, I loved the previous ones, they built well enough Eugeo and the world, and with this one they did a great job of showcasing how fucked the laws that this world are constructed upon, are. Maybe they futher amplified the rapy feeling a bit vs the LN, but this was needed to create the kind of response I can see most people here giving. Alice is here, and she looks cool in that sweet armor! KaiserNazrin said: Now this is where Alicization start getting freaking good. The main heroine finally make appearance! I waited so long for this. We are in for a ride right now, cant wait for the next couple of fights, and despair... |

| Was overseas and stuff, so ended up watching this about 1 week late. Anyways, that's the end of this arc. I'd say the whole rape thing was a little more convincing than the whole Kirito's flowers coming back to life because he talked to a random woman voice in the air, then convinced the other flowers in the garden to revive his. It's a shame that the 2 nobles never showed any character depth and just felt one dimensional. As far as what I can take away from the information at the end (and how this entire thing was supposed to be those 2 dudes training AI to break the law for military purposes in the first place), basically breaking the law is the test and these people were never escorted to a prison or executed or anything of the sort. In fact they probably get trained as a knight or warrior or whatever. Other than that, they took a little too much effort to emphasise blonde noble dude going crazy and glitching the system. Wonder if it's just for extra impact or it's actually some limitation to the system that will be addressed later. |

| nice they are finally towards the tower and thensome hmmm... I guess kirito still cannot remeber he was a part of this world too as a younger self |
 |
| I liked the way they delivered this episode, It showed a character grown comparing this Eugeo to his child counterpart where he couldn't move and save Alice (Not like he could do much anyways) But in this moment he moved by his own will. And seeing how this world works it takes a lot of will to oppose the Axiom church rules, losing an eye in the process. And Kirito comes in just the right moment and stand side by side with Eugeo assuming full responsibility by his side, showing a reliable friend. And Alice is finally here!! |
| Me at the airport: Okay, I should probably watch something that won't make people give me weird looks, so I'll watch the latest episode of SAO SAO Episode: Viewer discretion is advised. Me: Oh shit SAO Episode: *sexual assault scene* Me: Oh fuck SAO Episode: *guy gets arm chopped off* Me: HOLY SHIT Well, I didn't expect that from SAO. (The dude getting the arm chopped off at least.) |

| When you want to make murder AIs but make rape AIs instead. Comparing the censored and uncensored scene it really does look like a pointless change, it really didn't tone it down or anything. Also it confirmed to me that going out of my way to download an uncensored version would have been a waste of time. |
 |
| Whoa, did not expect this from SAO! I mean it's not the first time things got rapey in this series, but here it was not only that, but also gore with Eugeo's eye blowing up, and him and Kirito cutting villains' arms off, and one of them dying, and later half-naked girls ending up covered in his blood... Pretty hardcore. Gotta admit, enjoyed this episode a lot, I love my edge every now and then, and here it worked out perfectly <3 And there even was Alice at the end! |
  |
| Holy shit... I was expecting something from what I've heard the past 3 weeks but that was just insane. By far the best sword art online episode as of yet. |
| People out here saying that Sword Art Online has changed and this will be the best season ever. LMAO it's still the same shit. Reki Kawahara's a hack. Can't create a good villain to save his life. |
| meh, always with one dimensional villain & bland old gary stu saving the damsel in distress at the last minute.. and people still rate it high |
 |
| Jeez, that was hard to watch. I'm glad those guys are out of the story though, for now anyways. I'm guessing the guy that got away will be back sometime in the future, but hopefully I'm wrong about that. Wth was happening before he died?? Seems like it's not only Eugeo that has that seal to not break the Taboo Index. We got even more questions to be answered now, but at least we finally get to see Alice. It doesn't seem like a happy reunion though :/ Things are getting interesting... |

| Well i can say i hated the last 2 episodes. Those two nobles were such arrogant and disgusting pigs that would loop their way around the rules because of the position they were in. Absolutely disgusting. I hate characters like that. Simply being assholes to be assholes, first cutting kirito’s flowers and now attempting to rape girls. Fucking disgusting. And how is that a fair punishment? They are allowed to rape these girls just because they claimed to be offended?? How fucked up is that? Makes absolutely zero sense. And now Kirito and Eugeo are going to be criminals because they stood up for the poor girls. The fucking pigs got what they deserved but they also got Kirito and Eugeo to commit a crime like they wanted them to. This whole sequence of events was torture to watch and I couldnt stand any minute of it. I cant believe Kirito and Eugeo are actually going to get punished for that. They had a nice relationship with their pages and a goal to reach too, and now it is all ruined because of those repulsive pigs. Also surprised at how graphic this is getting. This is SAO right? Sheesh. Now Alice is back as an integrity knight? Dont really understand that but im sure they will explain |
 |
| The almost rape scene was so intense! Eugeo just there watching and those 2 disgusting guys doing that...argh It's so stupid that in a world ruled by so many laws, nobles can do things like sexual abuse and not get punished and the ones that saved the girls get punished...twisted |
 |
| Eugeo losing his eye was super creepy >.< I guess the whole system error thing meant that he couldn't move his body against the Taboo index D: I didn't expect that one of the baddies would die not gonna lie also I almost jumped out of my seat when the first arm was sliced off but when Kirito did the same thing to the other guy I was freaking out XD |
| Well that escalated quickly and ended with one giant bloody mess I thought the content warning was for the (attempted) rape but I wasn't expecting exploding eyes and flying body parts and a guy literally glitching to death in agony And somehow I knew Alice was gonna be the one to "arrest"/escort them |
| I'm a fan of SAO to begin with, but they really know how to pull off the visuals and animation for the scenes they want. I had pretty strong feelings with this episode. I am unsure whether the barrier for Eugeo was psychological or physical, but either way it must have taken a lot of strength to overcome it. I've always liked Kirito, but Eugeo having more realistic struggles without such committed decision-making as Kirito is very refreshing and inspiring to me. |
 |
| Can't we just have Eugeo as the ACTUAL main protagonist of SAO overall instead? |
 |
| Good ol' Swort Art Online can't finish a season without showing sexual assault and attempted rape at least once. I like the season as of now but villains are, like most of the time, absolute cringe. |
| damn this episode was wild |
 |
| the rape scene was so forced and unnatural. one time tiese looked "broken", soon after they regained consciousness. after that, they went to send krito with SMILE to jail. what a psycho. shit anime will always be a shit anime. |
| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| That "viewer discretion" message at the start doesnt bode well ಠ_ಠ Jeez what a scene in the bedroom ... I didnt expect SAO to show so much blood and showing us arms being cut off. Pervs trying to be "clever" by literally taking the Taboo Index as the only rules, "rape" is not covered in the Taboo Index so that means it's okay right ... FINALLY ALICE! Loving this season so far. |
 |
| -That was some fucked up logic by the nobles to justify their actions. Disturbing how there is no law against this kind of act at any level, and now Eugeo and Kirito are criminals. -That execution was pretty satisfying to watch. Proper punishment paced well and not too fast. -Alice!!!!! -Does being damaged like that apply to everyone who goes against the Taboo Index, or was Eugeo just a special case? Hmm.. But how was the Church able to implement that? It's not just a morality system, but a subjugation system that doesn't allow for the particular context of a given situation. Could this Index be a literal area of memory (thinking of indexes in a collection in programming) that pertains to the behavior of all the people who live in that world, and some group had managed to come across it and figured out how to write to it? System exploit. Is the Church's act of enforcement a second layer in case the inherent compelling force that would deter an individual from breaking the Index failed? |

| This was great episode with even better character developement. I'm just bit annoyed by using the same type of villain (and his snake tongue) over and over again. Ok, so Kirito basically broke the highest law of this world and killed someone... and Eugeo pretty much attempted the same, breaking the same code. No wonder they had to be removed from the sight right now with the commotion they created (and life-long trauma for both girls who were friend with someone capable of such horrible act). In every other reality they would be gravely punished but we all know that in this world the ultimate goal is actually to gather all those who can break taboo and create Integrity Knights from them (universal soldiers if you like when giving them body). The problem I see here is how the situation was settled by Kirito. He basically went against what he said before and solved the situation by violence, he really killed him in the cold blood. It doesn't really matter he probably knew the blong guy is NPC, that doesn't change a thing, he just ended someone's existence. And this should have serious consequences on his behavior, even IRL, I mean, such things change people a lot. Sadly, I fear this series won't dabble in this area. Cause it would be very interesting probe into human psychology to force them do things out of hatred and observe their consequent personality change. I know, it's very possible the blond guy and his sidekick were planted there intentionally - to actually stir the situation and provoke them to those deeds. But it still doesn't change the fact that the deed was his own doing. I really hope that somewhere down the line Kirito actually realizes he's been being used all the time and tries to battle these emotions. Seeing Alice again was nice change of pace. Though now one have to wonder how are Integrity Knights going to fix this mess. Remind me again, who actually enforced those Taboos back then and why that happened? |
| No regrets waiting for the BD to be out. This episode is simply thrilling to watch. |
| Well that escalated quickly. And....that execution was pretty satisfying to watch. It's not the first time things got rapey in this series....I watched S1 this year so I remember that other scene very well. SJWs are crying for this? Lmao. @MrAnthrope It's just anime, chill a bit lol. @Tan_H It's called realism. |

| Props to Tiese's and Ronye's voice actors for doing a great job. Gj Eugeo too managing to surpass the system. Still can't take those two seriously with their generic rapey faces lol. Nice seeing Alice again and she's looking great wew. |
