Bercouli...

Honestly for the genre, he had one of the best finales of all history. He's always been an interesting character; from being Rurid's folklore hero, to the first Integrity Knight, to Quinella's true friend, to Fanatio's lover, to Alice's father figure... I couldn't help but cry a bit along with Alice when everything came together. With how intense his fight was, I'm glad he was the one to slay Vecta, regardless of what happens after.

5/5 for the Fluctlight named Bercouli. You had a good run bro.

The converted players join the underworld in this episode

Bercouli & Emperor Vecta fight and both die in the fight. Except Bercouli is an AI and Vecta is a real person.

Speaking of Vecta and his brother, they are both diving in again on their converted accounts from SAO/ALO (aka the laughing coffin accounts)

Pretty exciting start so far, much better than part 1.

With no doubt, one of the best-animated fights in the series.
I'm glad Bercouli's sacrifice was not for naught.

Maybe the bercouli vs vector scene is the best fight scene in Alicization. RIP Bercouli.

So wait... that blue-haired dude impregnated Fanatio and now he's having fun with Quinella in heaven? Who writes stuff like this? And the boring generic villain got his ass kicked but will simply come back again... The writing is really lazy this season.

Oh, come on... Bercouli was the one keeping me invested :c

Also, the whole thing with Fanatio came out of nowhere like ???... It was kinda hinted in the OP for last season that they were sleeping together but there was no hint in the series whatsoever. Plus, Fanatio and the baby didn't cross his mind until the very end and he left with Quinella ????... Hell, there were even more hints of him having something with Quinella than with Fanatio actually.
And what is Fanatio even doing on the battlefield if she's pregnant?? Lady, can you please think about your bendi and step down?

Great fight but it sucks that Bercouli is gone. From all the people, why him! And also what was that farewell part, I thought he said Fanatio was his only apprentice. What happened to that.

Loved Renly's reaction "who are all of you".
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

awesome episode, Bercouli Vs Gabriel was amazing. Animation and OST were incredible throughout the fight. Bercouli's dragon sacrificed themselves, giving Bercouli a window of opportunity, slaying Gabriel's past and getting the victory, even though Bercouli died in the end. Bercouli will always be remembered and he fought with honor like a warrior. Poor Alice and Fanatio, I am going to tear up. They both cried when they found out that Bercouli died. Alice now carries the memories of Bercouli and Eldrie. Everyone from ALO showed up to help out, and Gabriel has another account... not again. He is for sure converting his GGO account. Hoping Kirito wakes up soon, Higa is going to try and repair his fluctlight through a back up self-image through the image of Kirito from Asuna, Sinon, and Leafa because they are close to him with a strong bond.

6:25 Yeah, they really like to show Asuna's armpit as much as possible. I love it! hehe
7:43 Isn't that the reason why the JSDF started/supported this project? they want to use the ALICE AI for their forces as well.
Hmm, I have a feeling Yanai is the traitor.
Bercouli's skills are so cool and OP. I'm a sucker for powers that can manipulate space and time. I never expected him to kill Vecta.
Ah, so that's why Bercouli didn't fully return Fanatio's feelings. He was always in love with Quinella. Well, Quinella is the 3rd best waifu in the show, after all. At least he left Fanatio a baby.

R.I.P. Bercouli, truly awesome fight (although too bad this doesn't stop Gabriel completely).

What a masterpiece of an episode, berucouli vs emperor vecta was absolutely beyond epic. The animation of the fight scene and the background music during it was a masterclass of a work. Seriously berucouli took down dark god vecta's account which literally kinda makes him on par with those super admin account.

Fanatio was a mommy but now she'll become an actual mom, sad berucouli will never get to see his kids.

Despite knowing quinella's true nature, berucouli still keep her inside his memory as a kind ruler.

Seeing the entire group fighting with asuna while the original theme of sword art online playing in the background was an amazing moment.

Seeing Alice crying her hearts out kinda makes me sad, I'm gonna miss berucouli. ( ´,_ゝ`)

Emperor who cannot be killed by a sword is killed by a sword, but not before eating some hearts, souls, and willpowers. I didn't even try to make sense of anything that happened, it was all just a cool looking fight. And cool it was. Didn't expect Vecta to go down so easily, considering the huge deal they made about him having "???"s in his stats and all. Whatever.

Some more inexplicable stuff happen, dead Bercouli flies about and talks to someone who is still alive, has a little ghost scene which serves no other purpose than to hammer Higa's (nonsensical) explanation into our heads.

Speaking of Higa, they yet again failed to notice something critically important. This time, they completely forgot about Kirito, supposedly no one monitors him at all, and only now they find out that Kirito's "self-image" was active a couple times. This leads Higa to come up with a (nonsensical) way to "save" Kirito by replacing his missing self-image by "backups" from other people.

Great job... because other people have your self stored in their head, right? It's not right every person thinks of you differently, and none of them knows the real you, right? It's not like mashing together these "backups" from several people would create a completely new person, and this person could easily be completely inconsistent and weird...

At least Higa is immediately punished for his stupid ideas and past mistakes by raising an obvious huge death flag when a "volunteer" joins him on a dangerous mission. It's clear what is about to happen, the only question is - does Higa die, or will Niemon (Robot No.2), who "has no balancer", magically save him and get destroyed emotionally in the process? Ichiemon (Robot No.1) might bite the dust too, but I think his chances are better.

I wonder why the admin accounts are weaker than their accounts from other games
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´。✪ω✪。`)

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)
