Another good eps.

I have always been amazed of how beautiful and captivating this part is, and until now it haven't disappointed me.

Every eps has its own story to tell, and this one is about an integrity knight named Renly, who is trying to conquer the fear of being rejected and that guilty feeling of having killed his best friend.

Hard-hitting back-story though, but is it really necessary?

And, pls tell me that Asuna will have a fight with Alice soon. Plssssss :))

A pretty good episode although I don't care much for the Renly guy... seems just an excuse to throw in even more flashbacks again.. I'm starting to get my Naruto Shippuuden trauma back these past few episodes. The pacing really needs to speed up a little.. hopefully we'll see that next episode. I need more screen time for Alice as well.. maybe Asuna appearance soon too... and for god's sake Kirito needs to wake up soon or I'm going to lose my shit lol.

great action as always...


I don't remember why kirito is in a coma, can someone help me with that, please?

After he rkd Administrator, he accessed the console thingy and tried to communicate with those aboard RAFT, but then I believe Gabriel's crew did something to the power which essentially caused his fluctlight to malfunction or something along the lines, hence the comatose state


thanks brother..... :]

I'm glad that this episode did shine some light into why Renly retreated like a coward from battle. During a sparring battle wit his friend in the past, his friend's sword broke when Renly went to attack, which in turn made Renly accidentally delivered a fatal blow to his friend. No wonder he's so petrified to fight in the war, but it doesn't change the fact that running away from the war was a cowardly thing to do.

On the plus side, he opened up to Tiese and Ronie, while guarding Kirito, before a goblin came in and started acting so smug and overconfident. After seeing Kirito clutch the swords in his hands, Renly finally got his act together and took down that goblin. He got his mojo back so quickly as he went back to the battlefield and with his unique shuriken-style blade, he took down one of the goblin generals.

Bercouli's attack on the second dark territory unit was pretty badass, but this was easily outdone by Alice, who unleashed a devastating beam that wiped out a large portion of the enemy army. Damn, she's already flexing her powers... XD

This was another good episode. Asuna still hasn't shown up at all which is still a bit odd, but I'm guessing that she'll appear in the next episode or two, hopefully.

Nonstop action from the start, little Quinella flashback, Alice unleashing a devastating spell, Dark Mage leader loosing her cool,

Amazing episode!

Alice spell seems to have obliterated the two enemy units completely, I wonder how effective that blast could have been if aimed at their main forces. In theory their deaths should unleash enough magic points for alice to gather again, I wonder if that happens now that apparently the enemies mages are gone.

Also, reddish skin is underrated.

one of the more decent episodes of the anime so far. i hope we can see more of the green knight in the story so he is not just some mobs used to once again make kirito like a great husbando
if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that.

@Superns18

About your review: you really think this beats Alicization P1? At the moment WOU seems kinda stale, even if a big war is going on. Atm I’d say it’s a 7/10, with P1 easily getting an 8/10, being the best SAO that has come out.

I can say for sure that this is the best SAO ....everything is different ,the MC isn't kirito, the author is giving a lot of attention to other characters and made us relate to them ,I can't stop loving Alice more and more (tbh i think i will start shipping her with Kirito),it's rare to find any plot holes , the bad guys are more developed ,more interesting and very strong , i can feel the story more
finally I am loving it so much and for me it's the best anime of this season ...at least for now

Easily blows part 1 out the water. That’s because I read the source material so I know what happens and it’s not even close. That combined with the fact best girl gets her time to shine as the protagonist and her taking care of Kirito for 6 months. Easily in my top 5. The story also gets a lot darker, writing gets better, stakes get higher, other people besides Kirito shine, and there’s plenty of emotional moments.

Great episode!

That flashback about Renly explained why he is so affraid of fighting, and it was sad how he finished killing his friend!

Ronie and Tiese found him and also a goblin, even in that state Kirito wanted to save them, and Renly got inspired and saved them!

Renly have twins respect, and mine, his dancing blades were awesome, i liked that!

Bercouli's time splitting sword was epic!

Alice is storing dead people energy from both side disabling thermal element from dark mages, Alice sent a powerfull beam with that energy stored, it was awesome!

Looking forward next episode, and for ASUNA!

imagine getting mad at others opinion (about imaginary characters no less!) grow up m8

also they are both 800 times better than the blonde tsundere number 1003. who has 0 personality and all she does is be annoying all the time

" flat characters"

perfect description of alice


Imagine not making any sense. She have more personality than Hinata and Mikasa combined. She prideful warrior, a caring sister, practically act like a mother to Kirito and a tsundere. You can't make any argument, all you can say is that Alice is bad but nothing to back it up. It's like talking to a uneducated child. You are lowering the average IQ of users in this thread.

It's fine to not like her but to say she is a bad character is just you being incredibly hypocrite.


wish i could like your comment 50 times in a row. the guy has no idea what he's talking about and Alice is miles from being a flat character lmfao. Flat, buddy, means that a character DOES NOT CHANGE OR GROW throughout the plot.
????????????????
Alice literally has more development than anyone in this freaking anime lol. She is wonderful, has a personality, has her own way of thinking, changes that way of thinking, adjusts it, cares for everyone and is just a perfect character imho.
I'm really torn apart personally, but also not really. I do think that Asuna and Kirito have this... bond which won't and shouldn't be broken, but overall I love Alice's character way better than anyone I think.

Sadly, the second group of dark territory team was funny that everytime they made a move it fails. Both Alice and Renly was cool on this episode, nice.

Damn, poor grunts, taking the brunt of it all. Don't the Human Soldiers know the concept of shields? Shield formations? Not even a spear and shield formations in sight. Of course they will get slaughtered if they only hold one sword and try to fight the physically stronger Dark Territory inhabitants. If it weren't for the Integrity Knights, even if they had the numbers, I'm pretty sure they would've been annihilated. Anyway, I'm glad that green haired guy finally got his courage back to fight, lol, he even said that "I'm pretty sure there were some deaths already". LMAO, green knight, you're unit's almost wiped out and in chaos, do something. The last scene with Alice was really good, damn, the way she annihilated that entire army group was just awesome.

Opening up the shed of light that is Integrity Knight Renly and his broken cowardice, that all started from Administrator Quinella. No matter how he tries to muster his courage, it's only by sheer will that he overcomes the trauma and makes it back to the battlefront. His battle skill, IMPRESSIVE as the double-wing blades spliced the enemy in half in glorious animation. All that for the 1st half.

As soon as the Dark Territory engages their aerial forces, Uncle Bernoculi and Alice made their respective moves. The former showing his display of powers, and the latter exhorting in FULL annihilation. To protect not just Kirito, but even a soul that can be saved in this tragic war, no second thoughts are tolerated.

Holy shit, did Alice just take out the entire dark mage and orge unit in one hit?!

Even though he's a bit of a pussy, i actually really like Renly. He doesn't pretend to be this heroic knight; he's a bit of a coward and he knows it but he still gathered his courage and is fighting!

So, Integrity Knights like Renly can feel fear at times.

I like the part where Alice annihilated thousands of wolfs and witches. That attack was way too powerful.

Yeah mang. One doesn't even need the subs to understand "bursto element." Lmao, mages got rekt. An amazing scene really. I wonder if she ever finds out those thousands of mages she destroyed were actually human souls too...
