| I enjoyed this EP, much of the elements I wanted to see animated from the LN is there at least, and I already expected what's about to happen in this EP and It was spot on. however the battle between Oberon and Kirito is surely lacking both on LN and in Anime, It may not be the cliched Hero-fights-the-OP-boss-and-wins-epic-victory but the way kirito kicked Oberon's butt suggest that SAO directors are doing this to pull the best fanservice they could give. heck Kawahara sure loves NTR, we saw this being pulled on AW back with Noumi arc |
Paul said: Hasekura-sama said: On a side note... why the fuck did Kirito care more about the Grand Quest being a lie than saving Asuna? Did he? It looks like all he did was mention it, nothing else. Not like he tried to send a ticket to Sugou. Haha, true, but i thought he'd be more eager trying to save Asuna. |
| I was hoping Kirito would've took the sword, shoved it in the guy's eye and swirled it around a bit. Get it in there real good. But instead, he gave him the gun to the head treatment. C'MON KIRITO, you could've at least let him squirm around a bit limbless. |

| Kirito is a total S. |
| Final episode next week...Kirito vs Sugou in real life |
| I even thought this was derp in the novel, to see it animated is just holy crap |
| hmm i wonder if yui have any underwear on... that white dress is short and...sexy?...lol (this is the lolicon side talking) |
| Great Episode. Asuma finally logs out, That piece of ..... whatever is name gets brutally killed, in-game albeit, but still any character that attempts rape deserves a cruel fate ( Like the Fatty in Btooom!). And that kiss on Yui's cheek was cute. But the animation in some parts were eh...... Still, a great show. Side-Note: So you hate the show, so you could, you know, not watch it, but thats a stupid idea. All masochists here. I hate this show, but I must keep watching. |

| Out of curiosity, was anyone else bothered by the element of 'pain' that was brought into this episode? This episode pretty much tells us that there is pain in the game, even though everyone's constantly saying "there is no pain felt when damaged". So has this "there is no pain" that Kirito mentioned like in the very first or second episode been completely false? |
| The anime is better than I expected. That Oberon .. I wonder how guys out there reacted. I bet they were freaking out. LOOOOL |
| If I became a Hunter, I can catch all my family member and sell them for high price |
| How is it going to end exactly? And what about "Gun Gale Online" and "UnderWorld", are they just going to skip those two? |

Well nerve gear controls your brain so I don't see it being impossible to have it so you feel actual pain so no it doesn't really bother me. Nerve gear is very dangerous to say the least. I mean GMs have the ability manipulate the nerve gear so you can die upon death in game and even to manipulate your emotions/ thoughts. |
| I don't believe i have shit my pants so many times within one hour before. Sugou got ass raped like Triple penetrated haha |

The switch for pain or no pain is probably programmed in the game from the very beginning so i would say the former. |
| Loving this episode. I am so sad for it has only 25 episode. Just one more episode and the series will be done. |
 |
| Man Kirito should have kept calm though Sugou was just giving Asuna love pecks no big deal. Like take a chill pill. Anyways took forever to download this, but anyways I guess I was expecting a lot more since it's concluding this arc. Sugou being the final villain was a let down I guess what I expected was for him to actually put up a fight and his grand scale idea was pretty stupid to me ....it felt extremely easy it wasn't a matter of Kirito being OP this time it was the villein being UP. (lol underpowered) It might have been more engaging in the LN though |
| SAO would redeem itself if Sugou had got to Asuna's real body first and killed her. Breaking Kirito's heart. But that will never happen. |

(lol underpowered) It might have been more engaging in the LN though Actually it was more engaging here, because of Sugou's superb VA. I find it funny they use the most talented seiyuu in the show on him...makes me lawl. |

"If you don't think this shows a 15/10 amazing masterpeice, that delicatly handles the LN and is really deep, why comment on the show retard? go waste your time somewhere else!! You can't watch or comment on something that is mediocre or how you are dissapointed with what could have been~ *Random ad-hom attack*" No idea why I spend 10 mins reading these threads everyweek. b/c u are a masochist |
| Can not wait for episode 25, I know what's going to happen, I just want to "see" it being wrapped up, words can only take you so far. I'm hoping they will say a 2nd season will come out next year, there's certainly enough material for it because why build up the Laughing Coffin crew but then again it has following the light novel series very closely and well might I add. |
| Yay! So happy after this episode! Can't wait for the last. =) |

There was pain the entire time.. There was no pain in episode one but if you remember Kirito felt it when he cut his hand in real life, and thats why fighting in towns was bad because it hurt. |

More or less ^ I dont deny I had some rather large disappointments with some of the adaption but overall ive enjoyed it for what it is despite all the changes [the LN is the LN and the Anime is the Anime ] - ah and I still contend t he series really (LN and Anime wise) should be able to just be ended here - |

| Rape Episode...... ;) Too convenient ending.... As always,,, but better than SAO arc ending (deus ex and ass pull crap)..... WTF? Will they create another world from the world seed and trap themselves there? If so, that would be fucking retarded///// 3.5/5 |
 |
| Not what I expected but not too bad as well. |
 |
| This anime has rape and tentacles WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? 15/10 anime LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!! |

 |
| i laughed when king fag cried like a bitch not as good as Nomi in Accel World but still funny |
| That part where Kirito started his retribution on Sugou was much gorier and painful than I imagined when I read the LN. o.o Anyway glad to see this anime finally reach the end, its been great. |
| I was wondering nnangle said: What are the chances of a second season, then? I say there is a big chance for a second season. The sales are going well and SAO is popular both to the fans and haters. But for me, as a fan, do not find a season two very pleasing because of the bad adaptation. Though I wanna see Sinon animated badly! |
| WOW.. just WOW xD This actually made my heart rate go up.. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT |
| EPISODE SUMMARY 1. Yui grows up for no reason. 2. It takes morning til dawn to fly up to a birdcage Kirito spotted. 3. Save the fanfare for later... but wait no, we have to go through the cliches and wait for the bad guy to show up, and then pretend to be shocked. 4. Predictably, Suguo's one of those retarded villains that mixes business with pleasure, preferring some exhibitionist masochist sex episode to finishing off Kirito and controlling people, basically throwing years of work away for 2 minutes of pleasure. Is it even possible to take these villains seriously when they're such jokes? 5. Kirito remembers Heathcliff's login ID and password that he never had. 6. Kirito turns pain to 0 for everyone. I wonder if it affects people in the rest of the game. 7. Yui saves herself again to local memory. By the way, Alfheim Online must have the worst system security of any game since Diablo 1 if it allows users to upload whatever local program onto the server with admin-level access. 8. Kirito tries to act cool by telling Asuna it will all be over, and then haves fun torturing LV1 Suguo... 9. Apparently every game played on the NerveGear is completely compatible with every other game. Imagine importing that awsome LV5000 sword you got on Disgaea 4 PS3 to Dark Souls PS3. Yep, that's how NerveGear works... Yeah, I know... Somehow the light novel explains all of this like cake, flawlessly like a literary masterpiece -- but it's a literary masterpiece I'm not interested in reading; nor will I ever be interested in reading Twilight no matter how much people rave about it, and I wholly judge it based on my experience with the first movie. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| So you can access the whole system by just saying "System Log-in. ID: Heathcliff"? Well, only Kirito knew that ALO was a copy of SAO's servers because of Yui. You can log into someone else's ID without a password or confirmation? @_@ Or maybe Kayaba gave him the right to access his ID through the system. |
avehn said: Wow. They made something that's worse than the actual material. This arc was horrible and I think the author has rape/NTR fetish or something. I wonder why he dont give up on teenager content and focus in adult one and name it "Tentacle Hentai Online" it would be way more interesting in my honest opinion ^o^ since sao is practically a kid rampaging trough mmo while girls gets almost raped all the time. No plot twist, no originality, rape services everywhere I never saw such a foreseeable anime like sao. If a 2nd season is aired I won't be watching it, I'm not able to enjoy sao anymore. Chuunibyou is by far the best anime of this season or of this year also. Edit: Rape my girl Online would be a nice choice too. |

Actually, in the novel, Kirito whispered a password when he logged in Heathcliff's ID. Though they didn't reveal what is that password. Sword Art Online Volume 04 said: I looked into Sugou's surprised eyes, opening my mouth. A set of words echoed in the depths of my mind, I repeated them. "System Login. ID «Heathcliff». Password....." As you can see, Kirito just repeated what Kayaba told him in his mind. Blame A-1. |

| All the haters can't stomach the almost-rape scene tryin' to come up with weak excuses for downgrading the series.. Lol. I actually wanted to see Kayaba's return, predictable indeed but Sugou's end was well done. Why waste time on a trash mob. |
| Okay what the hell 30 pages that quickly? I'm impressed though, I think A-1 did quite well here, oh and it took Kirito and Yui from day to sunset to reach Asuna's cage which I found humorous. I still found the 'I'm gonna violently kill you with pain absorption level 0' scene extreme but that's just my preference. This conclusion was fitting and I'll leave my final thoughts for this show on next ep's discussion. Far from exceptional but definitely enjoyable at times. |
