Rob7 said: At this slow pace, Asuna's entry is going to be the final cliffhanger of the season. What is ridiculous, since her "entry" in underworldo (at least in Kirito's vision) was the cliffhanger of the previous season. Anyway, next episode we will be presented to another random unknown (until now) knight. She didn't enter on the last season. She only entered episodes ago and after the antagonists. Rob7 said: Hey RATH, why is Alice so special? Let'me guess: that is because, from absolutely nowhere, now she manages to freely manipulate human souls, emulate genki dama ray lasers, call dracarys and maybe even create life. - It is because she can... broke rules. U don't say! --- pff, im kidding, it is because she was granted with harem privileges by plot God. The part you forget is that she can only do all of that into Underworld, not in the real world where she would be just a android. Imohammed206 said: GurenNoOu said: Asuna will be on episode 10 or 11 Yeah before they said it will be the end of ep 8 or beginning of 9 So what made it 10 or 11 now ?? Did the studio add some kind of filler ?? Asuna is going to appear still on this season, probably at the end of ep 9. And no they didn't put filler, what's there is basically what happened, even if they cut out many parts of the story including backstories, internal monologues and things that gave more context to characters and such, which is normal in LN adaptations I guess. |
| Still no Asuna. T___T If she appears in the last episode I will be angry. Good episode. Poor chief of the ogres (werewolves?). He wants them to return to the grasslands and live like they did before this war. Poor chief of the orcs too. He has to look at his lover(?) sister(?) and 3000 people being sacrifices as fuel for the dark spell. Vector and Dee Eye Ell are monsters. Nice sacrifice by Eldrie. I didn't really care about him, but he was really cool here, protecting Alice and going all out. I wonder whose hand it was that gave him a push when his life was depleted (Kiritos or Eugeos)? It was nice he remembered his mom at the end. And Alice going into rage over his death and annihilating the dark mages felt so good. Alice is gonna act as a decoy. Nice strategy by Bercouli. Just that, 4 Integrity knights out of 7 went as decoy, and Eldrie dies, so only 2 are left, what can they do on their own? ^^; Let's hope most of the bad guys go after Alice (and that Asuna also appears there), so the poor guys who are left with only 2 Integrity knights don't get massacred. |

I don't focus on every detail but I can say that her sword can absorb those souls (it was granted by the Administrator) when she was Synthesiased. |
| How many is the population of the Dark Territory btw? The human land has 80,000 people if i am not wrong, so... just the hordes gathered by Vector was 50,000? Almost the entire "white human"* population. So, how many fuructolaitos are missing there? *japanese subtle racism: dark territory, for only dark coloured skin people, who are not "human", even some part being exactly human. ok, it is not even subtle. |
 |
| wew this was great. I actually felt pretty bad for the orcs sacrificed and I'm pretty sad Eldrie is gone. I give him props for doing what he did. Now Gabriel has seen Alice, I wonder what's gonna happen next. am very hyped for the next ep |
 |
| It's a truly amazing episode, wow! Eldrie's part was gorgeous and very impactful, I loved it. I need to rewatch it now! |
 |
| And I was wondering why orc leader didn't look like a bad guy when they introduced them all. Now I know. |
| >Alice kills a couple thousands with a giant laser cannon >They retaliate by killing one person Alice: "How dare you? You're going to pay!" >She then proceeds to kill tons more Just what on earth are these double standards lol |

| I feel so bad for that orc leader, I had a feeling a large scale sacrifice was coming from the dark territory's side, but this was quite harsh for the leader to watch all his men and his love perish like that. If it were me, just put me in there as well. RIP Eldrie, that looked like a nasty way to go :/ That was really nicely animated and left more of an impact than the previous death. Gabriel has found his target, I wonder if he'll make a move now. |

BlakexEkalb said: Still bothers me that Eldrie was actually able to push himself beyond what he can endure. I understand the message, but I unlike those rage modes we’ve seen with that giant orc(?) and that one dark knight it’s like they unlocked a special transformation, unlike Eldrie who basically just cheats the entire system. All of them are using incarnation, but not consciously. They have a very strong will and their cluster is affecting the Underworld in different ways, with Eldrie being able to get alive for a few minutes even with his life as negative before dying. Incarnation won't be a permanent thing, it's something that goes for a few minutes overruling the system, which is why Eldrie didn't survive. Don't forget that Incarnation is will and imagination given form. Pretty much any instance where the rules of the system are changed by sheer force of will is some sort of incarnation effect. And incarnation is a feature of the seed, which in Underworld it's strongly made as in UW the imagination is what rules that virtual world, while in the games of VRMMORPG it was much more rare to happen due to how different they were. HaXXspetten said: >Alice kills a couple thousands with a giant laser cannon >They retaliate by killing one person Alice: "How dare you? You're going to pay!" >She then proceeds to kill tons more Just what on earth are these double standards lol Maybe, just maybe, because Eldrie was a dearly person to her. |

| I never thought I would say anything like this, but seeing that this season has 7.88 score, I have to say: MAL scores really are full of bullshit. This is easily the best season of SAO so far, yet its score is still going down. This definitely deserves a score above 8. People at this point are just down voting just because it is SAO. If this was a new season of anything else, everyone would be like "OMG fucking insane masterpiece 10/10". Also look at some of those "reviews". Pretty ridiculous NGL. |

| I agree that it was Eugeo who gave Eldrie a push. There was also a scene around the 16:25 time mark that put Eugeo's sword in the foreground to imply that he was also watching over them. That was right before the moment when Eldrie appears. |

The point is: To us, the viwers, he was not. The anime (the ANIME for the f* sake of God, not the source) is failing to make the audience to share the feelings of the main characters. I mean, just few episodes ago (previous season), all these knights were pathetic enemies, and now the plot is pushing them over your face, "you must care about them!" No. At this moment, my level of sympathy for the knights, except of Alice, is the same for the part of dark hordes who are being forced to be sacrificed in this unbalanced war. -------------- And the Bercouli is the WORST. Come on, stop of smiling a bit, stop being just chill and cool. It is a war, do show some legit concern. |

| O damn the Eldrie part was actually not bad, except for the part that he somehow miraculously lived long enough to say goodbye to Alice lol I could swear the orc part with his wife was longer in the source, pretty sure they skipped a flashback I think Seems like the Human Territory is absolutely dominating, just wait until we make an appearance to change things around huehuehuehu Also judging by the title next ep seems to be the one with quiet knight that I thought was gonna happen this ep Rob7 said: How many is the population of the Dark Territory btw?

I was explaining why Eldrie was important to Alice and why she acted like she did with so much anger even though she killed much more, as he was a important person to her. It had absolutely nothing to do with viewers be it in the original comment I was responding or my comment. Like, what a huge misinterpretation.. |

| I don't even remember who Eldrie was xD |
 |
| SAO is really trying hard to appeal to emotions of the viewers, first with the Knight Lady, then this Wolf Guy, then the Orc Lady and now Eldrie. It all fits perfectly well from a story standpoint, but I didn't find it emotionally impactful. |

Asuna is preparing herself with medicals, eletroids and when she is ready, she will enter in STL machine. In reality 10 minutes in UW, 16 hours maybe... so we will se at least 16 hours of combat in UW then Asuna will join the battle 10 minutes in real world are 10.000 minutes in UW. A day is 1440 minutes long. So the 10 minutes of RW are the same of almost 7 days in UW We know that Gabriel just has arrived a couple days before the begin of the load test, so it means that a delay of just 2 or 3 minutes to Asuna entry was enough to make SAO fans be very angst. lol |
|
| So the leader of dark mages and gabriel sacrificed 3000 orcs for nothing, even in bad side i found it sad to watch, orc leader had to watch his men and his beloved being sacrificed! RIP Eldrie he managed to sacrifice himself in order to counter that dark magic, breaking the limits and even going to negative hp, and that scene was really well animated, and the farewel was also sad! Alice went full rage mode and annihilated the remaining dark mages! Gabriel found his objective, affraid of what will be his next move! Where is my ASUNA xD |
 |
| 3000 sacrifice -> taking down 1 target :P That must be using 100000000 mana on a single target OHKO skill :P On the meantime , Alice one cast -> boom 5000+ gone. That -45000 life and still able to talk to Alice for a minute before he died is as ridiculous as cutting Eugeo in half for 2 episodes and he still able to talk. On the meantime other people died instantly when they reach 0 hp :) Also rip the plan of Alice being a docile or something, all she need to do is charge in front, kill everyone, and challenge emperor upfront solo. She has plot armour for unlimited mana/ stamina anyway, and gets stronger as the plot see fits. She'd only ever lose to Kirito anyway. Kinda wonder how Kirito and Eugeo even beat all of those super nutty knights in the first place cuz they're clearly stronger in this war than when they fight Kirito and Eugeo. |

Why do Dark Emperor got in so much faster compare to Asuna? |
| Rest in peace Lenju and Eldrie! Especially Lenju, her death touched me even though we didn't see her in the series before. I wonder where is Asuna? |

Why do Dark Emperor got in so much faster compare to Asuna? Because she entered minutes after him, which will make her reach Underworld days due to the time difference between underworld and real world. All of this difference of time was explained already and the guy you quoted also explained to you. It's a simple concept. He entered 10 minutes before her, so he reached before the war. She entered more or less 10 minutes later, so she'll appear later in there due to how much of difference there was and how much time already passed between him entering underworld and the 10 minutes that she entered there. You all are forgetting that our perspective is with the people of UW, not Asuna, so we won't see it already on mid war but all the confrontation that happened in the meantime of Asuna entering, and then Asuna reaching the war. |
| I think this war is pretty much the best SAO has offered so far. Eye candy action and the emotional scenes serve a good punch. Pretty fucked up to sacrifice so many lives for an attack. I don't know how much potential it had, but Eldrie surely did well to prevent worse. And Alice or Alicia spotted xD |

Still best boy post mortem. But also, this scene with Eldrie going into the negative really makes me hope/believe that Eugeo can be revived. We never saw his fluctlight die (I think), and we've had preivous experience of turning humans into other forms.... so when can we turn him back to human? Will this revive Kirito? So many questions... |

Rob7 said: Fucking thank you! Finally someone talking something that actually makes sense in this forum. This serie is failing in every single way to make the viewer care about anything happening on the screen, so how come this is suposed to be the best season of SAO? It proves once again those people only care about Sakuga and hype for the sake of it.The point is: To us, the viwers, he was not. The anime (the ANIME for the f* sake of God, not the source) is failing to make the audience to share the feelings of the main characters.

| Great fight as usual, now Eldrie became a sacrifice and finally the enemy recognized Alice. |
| Every episodes someone dies but the Dark Territory always suffer bigger loss. 3k pigs people for 1 integrity Knight and an enraged Alice. Not a good trade there. Now that Vector have noticed Alice, he will most likely make a move. |
 |
| I totally agree with Rob7's post here. Rob7 said: The point is: To us, the viwers, he was not.

I think except that I'm feeling for the lower-ranked dark hordes a tad bit more. Alice's double standards xD, absolutely on the mark there. |

| R.I.P Eldrie. This show is now going further than I've ever expected it, and every eps so far just keeps one-upping, again, again and all over again. But, still wondering when will Asuna come into existence :)) |
| love Alice but these are some next level double standards coming off when she used her nuke last week showing Remorse for murdering all those hordes to full on wanting to just slay everyone over one death that to us the anime viewers doesn't weigh that much. for real kinda mainly feeling bad for the lower tier DT hordes (also not a fan of a ton of witch babes being burnt not cool) but them killing all those Orcs in not even a less painful way just sucked ,and turns out the werewolves just wanted back their native? land to live out like shit man |
