| I just wondering about one thing, is this Gabriel guy got a power to obtain any soul that he murdered both in real life and Underworld?!?!? That's crazy, he's like having a supernatural power. |
Life is strange  |
| The part 1 of Alicization was quite a let-down but I like how this second part is introduced. Is watching the anime a waste compared to the LN ? Should I read the LN before watching the anime, or can I still enjoy the LN after watching the anime ? |
| That was messed up. That Gabriel is a freak. Looking at those scenes gave me chills. Poor Lipia, poor Alicia... This guy deserves the worst possible death possible, this guy is an absolute creep. |
 |
| So basically the villain is super creepy again. This guy honestly disgusts me and his 'friend' isn't any better there. The dark knight guy really reminded me of Bercouli ngl They had that lil clash scene too. Don't understand why he just suddenly disappeared after trying to attack Villain's mind/fluclight 100% tho |
 “I don’t like expending more effort than I have to.” – Ayanokouji Kiyotaka |
| honestly, these first four episodes is just lame. an intro after an intro after an intro after an intro. basically nothing is going on. just like a certain tv series we all know that has veerrrry disappointing last season (which everyone agrees upon). the narration to introduces the background and setting of the story and character is so lame. i guess they were bound by air time/episodes, but i bet there is a better way to solve this. |
| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| Gabriel is fucked up mannn. Wonder if the humans can defeat that army |
 |
| What a episode the madlads they didnt cut out it. So the comments swarming with a SJW so my post last episode thread is true. The Alicia scene is too graphic, and the Lipia scene too. To the next episode |
 |
| what a waste Lipia has to die in a gruesome way. I found her cute and her body tho... dude, what a curved shape ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) too bad fanatio and bercouli parallel in dark teritory have to die before we get their development fuck reki |

| I'm genuinely surprised as to how psychopathic of a villain Kawahara has created. Even more so, he's killed two of the main anti-heroes. Are they just going to introduce two high-ranking characters just to have them be murdered the following episode? |
| A classic in Sao use harassment and sexual attacks for the catharsis of villains. The funny thing is that according to this article, the writer said he would not use it anymore (to make it politically correct), and in this chapter of Sao the villain had a catharsis stealing the fluxlight from a half-naked woman jkkjk https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/01/20/sword-art-online-sexual-assault-plot-device-comments-reki-kawahara/ Edit: it seems he said it after doing the alicization, I don't know xd. Anyway, meh villain |

Anyway, meh villain You seriously think that it was actual sexual assault? How dumb are you? |
| Now that is something....hmmm where is Asuna |
 |
| i have several questions, in the last moment of shasta did he using enhance armament? and what happened when he attack gabriel? did shasta died because his soul was eaten? |
|
| The Light Novel already made those killing scenes bad, but the anime just made me shiver. Ive seen alot of anime death's, but these ones were cilling to the bone not your normal kills or sounds. But its nice to see they made Gabriel so creepy and hopefuly a good villain in the anime. |
| Medic or Tank Whats the difference |
| Wow, what have I just seen. A teaspoon of bloody antagonist and another one of fan-service ???? Quite dissapointing for such high hopes I had at first. Let's see where it will take us to in the last 8 eps. |
| Well, looks like this season will be interesting again now that Gabriel is now here. Still waiting on how Asuna will interact with AFK Kirito, and still hoping for a good episodes. |

| A different episode archetype looking at the antithesis to the themes of the main characters I really liked the characterisation of the antagonists - it made them feel alive. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Oh no, we get another creepy villain. Pretty disappointed that the two dark knights were suddenly killed off after only 1 episode. They were pretty promising characters who could play large roles in the story. I suppose we're only going to get a "good vs evil" kind of conflict now. |
| Those 3 shots after Lipia's death seem straight out of a snuff hentai scene.lol. And I do agree it's disappointing that those two die here. So in the end the villain seems like another psycho on the surface and that to me is wack. |
 |
| so those 2 didnt send a letter to bercouli ahead of time because why |
| Man, I thought the great Sword Art Online: Alicization would bring it to another level, but that author is as repetitive as his villains. The episodes before gave hope for a more interesting villain Gabriel, it turned out to be the usual SAO dude just more insane. The scene with the dead young girl was a little too disturbing, I don't need such things. And for what purpose and why can random guy eat souls just like that, how can that be part of the virtual world? Lol right after diving in the fantasy world he wasted quite some time with a dead Lipia and sitting on his throne, don't forget your job or JDSF will be coming for you. Oh and I wonder why he is invincible all of a sudden. |

| Ok do not talk about insects with your kids. It can make them psychopaths and want to kill their playmates... And the poor girl could not have another name than Alicia? I missed something or Alice's eye reappears without explanation? Very good episode anyway. The bad guy does bad things and with style. Lipya's death was not surprising, but its effect. The final attack was really impressive too. |
| . |
| fucking Gabriel killed one of the few dark skinned girls I've ever liked in anime welp, can't be helped, I hate him for that but he's got a pretty interesting backstory ngl |
zalapeno said: i have several questions, in the last moment of shasta did he using enhance armament? and what happened when he attack gabriel? did shasta died because his soul was eaten? Would be ridiculous if they imply that every "fuructolighto" person on an atack of rage can crash the system and cause that kind of destruction. So i hope it was just be cause shasta was a Knight, with special abilities, even if it was a kind of system bug anyway, since they exposed something happening in the "CPU". ------------- About his death and the soul eating habillity of Gabriel, he is like an Administrator now (finding his free account WITHOUT PASSWORD), with that unlimited powers that Quinella had. So for the plot, probably he can do whatever he wants. Absorbing souls, imortality, freezing heads in glass... The major doubt to me in the moment is if Gabriel killed that another Alice girl in the real world, what would take the SAO bullshit to another level with that "paranormal" soul leaving phenomenon. |

Ok good, how convenient. Then the staff should have given a god account to Kirito in the first place XD |

Nothing paranormal happens, it was only his imagination. If you notice the way the “soul” is shown in Underworld is identical to the way he imagine that in real life. It’s the Incarnation System of Underworld. |
 |
| Another edgelord villain. I guess Quintella is the highest SAO can get. |
 |
| How did Gabriel see souls in real world? I get it he's a psychopath, but he developed this Chunnibyou since childhood? Then ... he is going to be the only one in that virtual world to see souls fading because he is a superuser with a unique skill to see and consume those souls to gain access to those souls' memories. righttttttt okay I guess? |
