You refer to the nudity? Yea, probably. It makes sense in that situation and also in the broader context of that kind of technology just being there. Still, it's a Japanese anime (from Japan) ... and not quite the kind of show where you'd expect young adults to be so casually nude around each other. I mean even I (at heart a very German* person) find that situation somewhat weird (in a huh-really way, not in a screaming-and-shouting way)

*) For context: Germans kinda get nude all the time without much fuss (saunas/spas, beaches, friggin public parks (sunbathing) - clothes come off!

I really dislike Pitohui and Elza.

The scenes Elza and M naked give me irritated. Is it Important to put them naked just to confirm Elza is bi?

Please consider some people who watch anime at Public Area, they will think this is H*****.

I like the chemistry between Llenn and Fuka. Both of them the best characters, and go to hell for Pitohui(Elza).

Am I missing or forgetting something? Why were those two butt naked together at the end?

That was a bit weird, wasn't it? I thought he was kinda like her servant/manager/watchdog or something along those lines(?) My memory is a bit rusty, though.
@Dickegrobe i had to search it up bc i found that so weird too LOL. i found out that they were childhood friends and
i think elsa is around karen's age though just a small build.

By far the best episode so far. The action and dialog was great and the fight to the death was just like the first season.

We got some nice action during this arc, but it lacked any kind of emotional weight the first season had.

So wait, was M the naked dude? That looked so very wrong.

I can't remember.. LENN knows who Pito really is or just Fuka?

edit: I totally missed the deprivation tanks the first time. I read that someone said he's Pito's manager. I guess they're really used to being naked in front of each other.

@dragynfaerie
Yea at the end of season 1, M brought LLENN and Fuka to mee the real Pito. It was revealed that he was her manager but also at one point was a cliche fat guy stalker type that followed Pito one day. Pito then lured him to her house where she tied him up, scolded him, and proceeded to blackmail him supposedly.

Well this took longer than expected. And seeing their real characters is also such a whiplash, since SAO made everyone look like in real life.

Also kirito made a cameo. Nice.

I guess I'm OK with the Elza and Goushi nakedness, but he seemed way too confident/assertive around her from what we've been told about their relationship.

You can fuck off with the Kirito cameo though. I've always asserted GGO is better than SAO because it doesn't have Kirito. So not only is that spoiler, but Pitohui is ruined forever for being a Kirito simp. Grrr!

Man, that headshot was really elevated by having Fuka's hair explode out behind her in lieu of a blood splatter (like you'd expect if this wasn't inside a game). Very nice cinematography!

No way LLENN failed a headshot at that distance lmao, AND NO WAY THEY DROPPED A KIRITO CAMEO LOOOL

The way LLENN killed Pitohui was insane, from stabbing to headbutts to fkng throwing her into the moving motor blades, absolutely demential, she is way more crazy than Pito, I think it's a good thing she didn't participate in SAO lmao

Man, that real life scene between Pitohui and M... they are into some really kinky shit lol

I need more Fuka 😍 I wanted her to be the only survivor and win, would have been so funny. I adored so much her verbal confrontation with LLENN, just 2 girls trash talking to each other like real friends ❀️

I can't wait for the next episode to see their real selves, my beautiful Miyu ❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️

PD: LLENN is schizophrenic and nobody can convince me otherwise.

No way we got a small Kirito appearance lmao. Remember that he looks off coz that was his before-irl-scan avatar in the beta test lol.

that shot upside down while falling was nutty from Eva ngl. A lot of throwing with some free kill scenarios though. Pitohui ran out of plot armour lmao, she survived for so long

Feels like a random end but we're still gonna get some more episodes. What're they gonna cramp in the next 4 episodes?

Never ending plan to watch list...

Ain't no way the GOAT himself The Black Swordsman made a cameo in this episode.

Epic battle, it really feels like a season finale even though it wasn't.

I imagine the author of this series is probably required by contract to suck Kirito's dick at least once.

The fact that Kirito left such an impression on Pito cemented his legend status. Truly one of the cameos of all time.

Awesome climax and wrap up. Enjoying this season more than the first one.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is "GUN gale online"... right? If so, where the fuck is the usage of the "guns"? Headbutts, knives, lightsabers or whatever... no guns though.

Cool Kirito cameo though, I guess.

Mysteries science still cant answer:

why were they naked?!

Why cant they stop glazing Kirito even during the climax of the second season of the spinoff?

When did we time travel to the future, because surely this was the final and not just ep8/12?!

What even is the age rating of GGO?

Overall this was climactic but it also feels a bit stale, no new teams, nothing surprising, atleast Pito got to fight LLENN again but still..
This season showed why buildup is important to get a proper payoff..

PS: Pito really is a character who deserves to be put into one of the more gritty SAO scenarios, all this talk about fighting and killing just doesnt do it when they wake up in their beds 5s later..

I wasn't expecting that Pitohui and Kirito flashback! It was a nice way to bring around that whole season 1 plotline of her being bummed that she missed the death game everyone got trapped in.

This Squad Jam had an awesome finale that was just as brutal if not more so than the last. Llenn's honor killing of Pitohui by pushing her into the giant fan instead of letting her drown was satisfying.

Definitely an exciting end tot the Squad Jam 3. I like how they built up Pito’s trauma from Llenn beating her last time. I thought it was weird for them to reference Kirito though. Nevertheless, I am excited to see where the story goes from here with its remaining 4 episodes. (8/10)

Finally, SJ3 is over. The Betrayers won... But since BTRY was a new team composed of members from other teams, how the heck will the prize be distributed? That is if there is a prize for all this lol.

Wait, didn't the last episode say Pito was still using the NerveGear or something? Now it seems like Elsa and Goushi were using some sort of super-advanced true "full dive" VR experience that you need to be naked to use. That shit was weird as fuck.

Pito in general was super weird in this episode. Why is she still afraid of LLENN? Especially after the showdown in the last season? I thought the two made up or something. I guess Pito still has some sort of death wish.

Fuka and Eva killing each other was cool. But Pito vs LLENN was definitely the highlight. Glad she ditched those ugly body armor. She looks hotter without them. The only thing I dislike is that LLENN keeps acting like a pussy even though she has been playing this game for so long. I also would've liked Pito to be sliced to shreds with the rudder instead of just exploding.

This time P-chan didn't go sentient. Instead, it was the knife, Na-chan. Man, every time a weapon becomes sentient they just fucking die. That's kinda dark if you think about it.

Oh and there was a cameo from Lord Kirito in this episode. Wow so cool.

With only 4 episodes left, wonder what type of arc will be next.

Because Elza wanted to fight Karen in a serious mood, she's doing every tricks just to make LLENN serious.

Oh, I loved that they added Kirito in the background story of Elza. It was a nice addition to see him.


Oh, so P is scared of L...?!

P.S. I love that insert song of Reona.
So, LLENN finally succeeded of defeating Pitohui, winning the tournament.

P.S. #2 I see... So Elza and that guy is actually in THAT relationship... πŸ’€ (and there's no censoring...)

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Point blank headshot + full auto after, but Pitohui was not hit even once. Nice. LLENN should drop the gun, heck, all weapons, woiuld work way better for her. P-chan might be sad, but P-Chan can't compete with going full killer rabbit. She doesn't have to think when she's headbutting other people do death, too, which is huge given that she apparently spaces out everytime something happens. Unless there's a holy hand grenade in the game she'd be the sure winner of all future tourmanents that way.

I also wonder: Given that equipment takes up zero space and is not visible until and unless you are using it (except some, for some reason. LLENNs own knife was visible, but the one she got from Boss not..I'd expect it the other way round at least). Nobody was able to tell what the others have as equipment, nor how much of each etc. Assuming they can afford it, why isn't everyone packing 10 photon swords, 20 different rifles, 100 grenades and stuff? Anyone serious about winning should absoutely do so. I also assume you pay for it with the currency you make playing the game. Should be easy for the top guys to farm enough money. But it seems that most are so set in their ways that they do not even bring a knife or handgun.
