| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- No OP as it is the end of the arc. So only the treasure can defeat the king? With that heavy hammer that is lighter for Freiya, she turned into Thor. Another hammer, which is lighter, is given to the friend who convinced the group the save Freiya when the king's defeated. They found excalibur, but it's stuck too deep that he has too yell and be strong to take it out. That sister girl has sharp hearing that she can hear flying elephant when falling. He through the sword away because there's no crystal, but Sinon created it through archery and got it back. After being lost hearted, that guy fell in love with an NPC. Kirito learned a technique at school and gave Yui a chance the feel that she's flying in real life. |

| Nice ep. The animation during the fights was really good. It was pretty anti-climatic though. Frejya being a TRAP and being Thor was lol for Klein XD Sinon definitely best WAIFU saving Kirito's Excaliber :3 Even looking at eachother smiling like that ^^; Asuna's totally been side lined lol Klein asking Skuld for her contact info was lol. Poor Klein 4ever alone XD Can't wait for MR. |
 |
| So this is the end of the arc? A bit short but whatever. In terms of action, it was great but the story was pretty average imo and fairly predictable. Someone also needs to give Klein a hug. Oh well, he might find someone else in the future right for him... Hot Excalibur though. |
 |
| Great episode. Great! Sinon-chi. Does they make 7 episode left for MR? |
 |
| kinda short. I thought for sure they would have had this arc until at least 19. |
| Is Klein gonna use Mjollnir? |
| Freyja turned out to be Thor. Klein's reaction to that was funny. This was a short. I enjoyed it though. |
 |
| The ALO arcs are so boring. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
hantere said: Well that ends this arc very short and sweet. Poor Klein Freya turned out to be a trap for Klein. Kirito and friends complete quest and gains Excalibur. Sinon saving sword for Kirito being harem lead is a tough job lol. Well on to the next arc. Excaliber! You forgot about the last scene already lol. |
| LOL poor Klein, Freyja is a guy :D They finished the quest. All the ice is gone, summer time :P Kirito is rich now.  |
 |
| Kirito throwing the really heavy hammer! Freyja grabs it easily and turns into Thor xD Klein getting a hammer out of it! Kirito managing to pull Excalibur and got it later. The scenario was pretty nice, the tree with those buildings surrounding it. Sinon saving the sword and telling Kirito to remember her whenever he uses it! Klein falling for Skuld... it was nice while it lasted. Nice to see Yui being able to feel like she is flying. |
 |
| Nice that they showed the little flashback when Excalibur was summond in S1 :O And that God looked extremely manly, dont mess with THA HAMMER. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Can't wait to see Kirito wield Excalibur. |
| Kirito, Do you even lift? Sinon best girl obviously. Lol poor Klein, is he really that desprate. can't blame him anyway. Skuld was hot. Short but entertaining arc. loved it. |
| Your honor, I never wrote this post. |
| This ep was really good. I really loved Klein's poor reactions, he got dumped twice in this ep, first by Freya who turned out to be Thor, and then by the goddess of the Future - Skuld. And also Sinon was awesome when she got back the sword. Also, to everyone. It's EXCALIBER in this series, not EXCALIBUR, you bakas! |
 |
| So is the next episode Mother's Rosario? |
 |
| That was a good mini-arc. Way better than GGO. |
| Lmfao, the start was like Persona. "Let's go for an all out attack!" was in my mind. |
 |
| Well that was a cute little arc. Poor klien though. He can't even use hammers! I thought he was gonna give it to Lisbeth TBH. I think i know why this arc came before MR too. And i think the little camera scene at the end had something to do with it. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Good mini arc full of foreshadowing for various things in the future. As a norse mythology nerd, this was great for me to see because they stuck quite closely to the ideas in Norse mythos, especially "How Thor and Loki tricked Giant Thrym" story. Its a good breather mini-arc, but one should not forget things established here. A LOT of them will become quite important ;) |
 |
| Well that was a fun little min arc. Klein best boy. 4/5 |
 |
| Thrym got rek'd when Freyja transformed into freakin' Thor. Klein also got rek'd because of that. At least he gets Mjolnir, while Kirito gets Excaliber. Although Sinon does make her moves on Kirito by retrieving Excaliber. Klein's also making moves on Skuld. So this short arc ends with Kirito paying for food because he's the owner of Excaliber and not Excalibur. Even though I enjoyed this arc, can't wait for the next one. (^_^) By the way, anyone have an HD version of that ending picture? |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| This whole season feels like a big filler. |
| Freyja is Thor?! Eh. What a turn around, especially for Klein. Haha! Oh man. Kirito should have not thrown Excalibur. All that fighting was for nothing if Sinon didn't caught it. I guess the credits mean an arc has ended. On to the next one. |

And it was overburdening him (RPG term) so he needed to discard it. |

| Two things... One... WTH...  Second... Did anyone else think that ending with Yui and the cameras foreshadowed the things to come in Accel World? |

Misiakk said: This whole season feels like a big filler. Roni-sama said: Well, so the last two episodes were only fillers, I was worried it will be an arc without any life risking game, which would make it a little boring... You might need to look up definition of filler. This arc had very clear significance for future storylines(in more than one way) and was a perfect closure for Fairy Dance story arc as Kirito finally got the chance to own up on his promise to get the sword fairly. shawnofthedeadz said: Two things... One... WTH... Second... Did anyone else think that ending with Yui and the cameras foreshadowed the things to come in Accel World? Bow abides by laws of physics and goes to opposite side after firing. And? As for second point - it is relevant. |

| Frejya being Thor paid off, damn I can still see Klein's face over it. Damn how I wish he had broke up with Asunah long ago and was hooked up with Sinon now :( How many more arcs are there for a 3rd season or rather does it have enough content for a 3rd/4th? |

Next arc after MR should take up at least 3 seasons. |
|
| They pretty much was un-prepare to fight that boss. Typical RPG tactics are usually buffing/de-buffing, casting regen effect and bring Ice armor/fire weapon. Overall this arc is short and kinda boring. |

That's what he meant when it was too heavy. I thought he meant it was too heavy of a burden or something since it reminded him of the ALO incident lol. Was the whole thing about the name important in someway when they were discussing it at the end ? |

| i really hoped this arc would last a bit longer. alltho cant wait for some excaliber action :3 |
 |
| Are Asuna and Kirito really still dating. It doesn't seem like it. |
 |

| Good ending of this arc. Freya was a guy haha, Klein was like noooooo. |

| Say.. It's not my intention to ruin this happy ending moment in this forum but.. When freyja transform, did I just saw a man's (Thor's) butt? Maybe I should rewatch again.. Anyway, I knew the meaning of filler but this mini-arc still got filler-like feels in it. Also, some of you ask if Klein gonna use that hammer, but as he said, he doesn't have any points in hammer skill. So the hammer is a useless loot for him, and I don't think he's gonna sell it so maybe he will keep it as something from freyja. |
| I love Minimalist Arts. Such Simplicity, yet hold so much Meanings to me. |

|
| I really love this arc I hope the next arc is awesome also but I doubt I'll like it as much as this one. |
| i was waiting for Sinon's part with the retrieving arrow.. boy did she just made the other girls jealous (^,..,^) ...so the next episode takes place in Kirito and Asuna's house? I guess Mother's Rosario arc comes after ep. 18 |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |

| After every SAO episode I want to play a mmorpg like this but I can't :'( |
