| Criticism can still go to Reki for writing Leafa to be a damn idiot. Shouldn't take very long to realize the person attacking you while laughing like a maniacal idiot is probably not a good person. At the very least wasting your time being drained while more important things are going on is probably not a good use of your time. Not wanting to kill people left and right? Great. Refusing to make even the slightest effort to escape...not a great move. Honestly, kind of wish they managed to end with this episode last season instead of opening with it. Not a great first look for the show coming back. The first episode was ok. But not very good. The Leafa scene just tanked it and the rest was just alright beyond that. It's got room to improve and get back to the overall quality this arc had. But not a great return to the show. |
IceDragoness said: This episode with Leafa was disgusting. I don't think the author has ever touched a woman in his life. I've lost respect for the series. It genuinely made me quite angry watching it. The excuse of not being able to kill anyone then instantly destroing her in seconds shows leafa had the power to escape, but she didn't for no reason. No excuses for that awful scene story wise. The show shouldn't be PG-13 for the majority of the time than have a random hentai scene thrown in every so often. All anime that air late night should automatically have 16 or 18+ age rating. |

Zozo_Bean said: emraanash said: it was worse than before however I have question : - does the series currently following manga?? - if asuna and other players from real world die in underworld, will they die for real?? - is this season finale? this summer doesn't have any mind blown anime, disappointing. :((( 1) So far its following the Light Novel I think, from Volume 18 onwards. 2) I don't think so. I think they just lose all the accounts they own on any other full-dive game. But they do however feel the full pain when damaged, as there is no pain blocker programme implemented in the Underworld (im not entirely sure about the specifics tbh, so sorry if im slightly off) 3) It's the final season of the Aliczation arc only. Idk if there will be more SAO after, but when people say this is the final season, they mean it's the final season for this particular arc. So far it's unconfirmed whether they will make another season (as far as I know), but it probably depends on how many volumes the current season will cover. The last season finished after covering volumes 15-18, and while I haven't read the light novel, it says that volume 18 is the last part of the Aliczation arc. And currently, that means there are volumes 19 to 24 which could be used as another series, although they may not want to, as most of these only have been released in Japanese, and an English release of the novels usually takes around 3 years. So if there is another season, it may not be for a while. But don't quote me on that; idk how anime production takes place too well. Hope that helps. (if I'm wrong about any of this plz correct me I don't wanna spread misinformation) thanks that really helped. |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| This anime series getting worse with every season but why people are mad about the tentacle rape scene? I am just curious.. |
| “You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin”. |
Oh great more supers like characters just arrived , Tch the only thing worth around here was Leafa getting that tentacle grope.....  |
Zozo_Bean said: 2) The scene didn't really have any reason to be there, or at least the lewd parts of it. There wasn't really any character development or story telling that came from it. Hey hey. The anime handled the scene very badly. But they did the purpose of the scene from what I remember. The orc had his development and his eye burst, didn't he? |

The orc had his development and his eye burst, didn't he? Sorry yeah I should have explained my opinion better: I agree. The orc did have character development from it, but he would have still had the same character development without the sexual side of the attack happening. I have no problem with Leafa being attacked, even attacked by worms (or whatever they were), its just when they added in the sexual part to it that it seemed like it had no purpose. Basically I think a scene that was similar to that but without the kinda rapey side would have been fine to show the exact same character development. But idk that's just my opinion. But, yeah you're right, and I do agree that the Leafa scene was good for character development when you look past the bad side of the fight. Also, what's SAO Progressive? A spin off series of the light novel? Yeah that rapey side of the scene took us LN readers aback as well. From what I remember from the LNs, the scene was pure torture and nothing sexual was written, pretty sure some degenerates would've imagined it anyway but still the anime took it too far. And yeah SAO Progressive is another ongoing LN series which is basically a reboot of the Aincrad arc which goes floor by floor with amazing world building. IMO it's way better executed than both the original SAO and even Log Horizon. |

With anime as usual Any one who thinks this scene is too much has never watched this anime before and should not be watching it in the first place "Vinland Saga and BERSERK" ???? Now that's a fucking lie lmfao. I'm not caught up on Vinland but saying that SAO has more rape than Berserk is completely astounding. Have you read *any* Berserk? |

Sorry about that. Although in my defense sarcasm is hard to detect through text and your statement hasn't even been the most absurd one in the thread so far. |
| Nice tentacle rape and Kirito harem. Another OP friend saving the day at the end of the episode. I liked the episode. Emperor with some serious genjutsu power. I want Alice to wake up, she's the best girl in this in my opinion. |
 |
| Are you fucking serious? Did we really not have enough attempted rape scenes already in this series? First episode and we have a goddamn tentacle rape scene, cause there's really no other way to show someone is evil under than raping. Sure you can argue that it wasn't how the author written it, or that it might not have been penetration, but this is still fucking stupid. Like SAO is already full of bad stuff, but at least most of the time it was enjoyable until Alicization where everything just gets thrown out the window... I couldn't feel anything bad for the commander. Vecta is just an OP account it seems, doesn't have anything to do with the man himself being good. Lame. Asuna doesn't really seem as powerful as I hoped with that account. Using that earth splitting ability like 3+ times and that's about it. Shame. Some more players joining in could be fun, but I really have 0 expectations at this point. I'm just here cause I'm curious what this whole thing is gonna end up at. The supposed best arc of SAO. |
 |
| I hate when SAO's fan service is like this! Leafa's got a tentacle's scene, what the hell...f*** this!They should do better without it |
 |
| The OP "Anima' by Reona and ED "I Wiill" by Eir Aoi were so lit, love both of them and really fit the situation of the story. after Sinon "Solus" arrival , next one is Leafa "Terraria". somehow her arrival was kinda ...haha.. idk what to say... that tentacle thingy tho.. good grief she blast that witch to the dead. It seems Vassago back with his POH and tried to engage Asuna & Kirito, and another familiar face.. Klein arrived too.. i guess we can see more of ALO Squad arrival in the next episode, really excited for that. |
| Sinirim bozuldu ya. Yarısında kapadım valla. Ben hentai mi seyrediyorum diye bir an düşünmedim değil hani. Ne zaman daha iyisini yaparlar belki desem her zaman hayal kırıklığına uğratıyor valla tebrik etmek gerekir.Helal olsun yani. İki ay önce bir sitede bunları demiştim. Hala aynı fikirdeyim. Gerçi orda serinin bağnaz aşırı fanboyları şikâyet etmiş sanırım , site yetkilileri de tarafsız bakmayarak yayından kaldırmış yorumu, komik. Ecchi seven biri olabilirim ama 13 yaş altı seyreden kitlesi bile olan bir animede bunun yapılması çok yanlış. Seriyi ben de seviyorum ve her geçen gün içine ediliyor. Ama bu yapılan rezillik resmen. Göstere göstere "tentacle" sahnesi yaptılar ve bunu çocuklarda seyrediyor. Bu kadar açık mesaj olamazdı ve bunu görüp hiç değilse yorumu silmek yerine mantıklı davranmayarak yokmuş gibi var sayılıyor. Burdan size soruyorum siteler tarafsız mı olmalı , yoksa işlerine geldikleri gibi mi davranmalı? Sırf çok ünlü diye hiç ses edilmiyor ama Deadman Wonderland'i içerdiği şiddetten ötürü nerdeyse durduruyorlardı. Bazen kuruluş ve toplumlar işlerine göre mi kuralları esnetiyorlar diye sormak gerek. I'm angry. I shut it in half. I didn't think for a moment if I was watching hentai. Whenever I say maybe they will do better, it always disappoints, I must congratulate him. I mentioned these on a site two months ago. I still agree. Though I think the fanboys of the series complained about the fanboys, the site officials did not look neutral and removed the comment, funny. I may be someone who likes Ecchi, but it is very wrong to do this in an anime that even has an audience under the age of 13. I love the series too and it gets into it every day. But this disgrace is official. They made a "tentacle" scene for the show and the children watch it. It could not be such an obvious message, and it does not make sense, rather than seeing it and at least deleting the comment. From here, I ask you, should the sites be neutral or act as they do? It is never called out just because it is very famous, but they almost stopped Deadman Wonderland because of the violence it contained. Sometimes it is necessary to ask whether organizations and societies bend the rules according to their work. |
| Reki Kawahara has a rape and tentacle fetish, i'm sure of it. first it was with Silica and a tentacle plant monster during Aincrad, then with Asuna with another tentacle monster during Alfheim, the Fairy King wanting to rape Asuna near the end of Alfheim, then the Knight dudes almost raping Kirito's and Eugeo's apprentices during the 1st Alicization and now we have Leafa with another tentacle rape scene... that's already 5 attempted rape scenes, 3 of them involving tentacles. geez, in Goblin Slayer the rape scene made sense in context of the World they live in, it's in the very nature of Goblins, plus they only needed to show it once in the Anime, that was enough to convey to the audience that the Goblins are the bad guys, you don't need to show 4 rape scenes just to portray they're bad. it's either Reki has no other idea on how to show someone is a bad guy or he just wants to add his fetishes in his show at this point. the almost rape scene by the Fairy King with Asuna was enough, it had an impact, it showed in a very simple way that he was a bad guy but doing it over and over just lessens the impact. your reactions goes from "oh no! it's a rape scene" to "it's another rape scene..." |

Yes, you are absolutely right. Or I thought I did very'm exaggerating. Thanks |
| Yay, Leafa and Klein are here too. Oh, and we should expect a tentacle doujiin in the future. |

OddOnes said: This episode with Leafa was disgusting. I don't think the author has ever touched a woman in his life. THE AUTHOR DIDN'T WRITE THAT SCENE IN, FFS. A-1 just wanted to be lewd. But let's not attack the personal lives of people just because of the type of fiction they produce, HUH? Reki Kawahara has a rape and tentacle fetish, i'm sure of it. He does not. He says he regrets writing those scenes nowadays...but he was influenced by other fantasy manga that had such scenes. |
  |
| by far the best SAO op ever done. pretty cool ending too which I'm sure has some metaphorical meaning I don't quite understand yet. SAO back at it again with the tentacle rape (idk why leafa allowed herself to get touched up for 5 minutes before executing her with ease lol) also emperor vecta's ability is pretty fucking cool ngl idk why I didn't notice it before but these guys are also laughing coffin members just like death gun klein is here too. maybe agil, silica, and leafa join soon? |

| Wooo!! Klein is back!!! |
| I took a break from SAO for a while after the horrendous War of Underworld part 1. Leave if to Kawahara Sensei to remind me of what I hate about the show most, gotta start your season with an overly emphasized tentacle torture I guess. Classic SAO. |
| [quote=JesusPenguin message=61353618 SAO back at it again with the tentacle rape (idk why leafa allowed herself to get touched up for 5 minutes before executing her with ease lol) [/quote] She's been at it ever since she first made an appearance in season one, that's almost 4 or 5 seasons of tentacle torture, you could say, she's developed a weird case of Stockholm syndrome for this kind of abuse. |
| Ah typical Leafa, What a way to start the ending season ( ͡❛ ᵜ ͡❛) |
| Full great and weird moments as well. I was avoiding "last" SAO long time, but it just can't be avoided. Let's go. |
 |
| They bring Leafa back and then they throw her into a degrading tentacle scene. Come on SAO treat your female characters better |
| First ep and I'm reminded why I took so long to start the second half. |
 |
| Yeah, Leafa is back! Now she'll... get tentacle-raped? What the fuck, SAO? |
| Maaaan, SAO always does the weirdest shit when it comes to Suguha. That really wasn't necessary. |
 |
| And here they come, in their ugly elf form. Poor Suguha, though. The moment she comes, that happens. But at least that annoying thing is finally dead. I feel bad for Bercouli and the others for what is happening in their world. Also were Gabriel's eyes always this dark? |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| I was worried sexual assault online would forget it’s roots. Thank goodness for the brilliance of Reki Kawahara, he truly made the most anime of all time |
| This was quite the action packed episode, Sinon reunites with Kirito and its just as sad and emotional when Asuna first saw Kirito. Leafa joins the Underworld and meets Lilpilin, with Leafa talking about the both of them being human and talking to each other. She even wanted Lilpilin to take her to Vecta, but unfortunately, the leader of the dark mages, Dee Eye Ell, comes back alive, which really surprised me. I THOUGHT SHE WAS FRICKING DEAD. Unfortunately, Dee Eye Ell ends up assaulting Leafa, but Lilpilin resolves and breaks the seal of the right eye to protect Leafa and strike at Dee Eye Ell. With Dee Eye Ell snapping at Lilpilin, Leafa strikes back to save a human, finishing off Dee Eye Ell. JUSTICE AND HEROISM FOR THE WIN. I feel bad for Lipilin cause he lost his loved one back in episode 8, and his development to resolve really reminded me of Eugeo back in S3 E10, and I think it fits well. The fight between Bercouli and Gabriel was good, Bercouli is going to protect Alice like a parent despite Gabriel absorbing Bercouli's incarnation and manipulating his conscious thought. Klein shows up to help Asuna and it seems that everyone else from ALO is about to bring support as well, LETS GO! Great OP and ED as usual. Not surprised that people are complaining/trying to put down the show in regards to what happened to Leafa. Yes, it's obvious that what Dee Eye Ell did was bad and awful and needs to be punished. We hope for the villian's downfall and for the hero's victory. Lilpilin resolves, strikes at Dee Eye El, allowing Leafa to finish her off. It's similar to how Eugeo's development and resolution allowed him to protect Tiese and Ronie, through justice and following good morals. Everything was handled just fine, plus there is much worse out there. |

So many people complain over this, yet there is much worse out there. All people have to do is not watch if they can't handle it.They bring Leafa back and then they throw her into a degrading tentacle scene. Come on SAO treat your female characters better |
