SansrivaaL said: first page full of Kirito haters lol. Kirito was fckin amazing holding of those guys without a healer, I mean he was up against swordsmans/tankers/spellcasters and only 5 I think were left lol. If he had someone healing him like Leafa he would have owned and probably would have been the one opening the door not those 5 idiots. No most of them were left intact. Kirito lasted for ~3mins and then got killed alongside Klein. |
 |
| Didn't see Kirito's fight thumbs down. Overall though, the episode had good moments. Not a big fan of the the season 2 drama however. |
| Great episode. Not much Kirito, but impressive animation. It's pretty obvious where this is headed. |
 |
| Here we have Kirito cutting down magic like a boss. Oh, Klein's also here. The Sleeping Knights have nice teamwork. And they beat the boss too. Asuna is fast while Yuuki is OP. Hooray, their names are on the Swordman's Memorial. (^_^) Seems like Yuuki HAD a sister before and Asuna seems to resemble Yuuki's sister. And now she's crying. I feel like I'm about to ride a feels train. (T_T) |
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. |
| wearing the most powerful sword at ALO as sub weapon, only Kirito.. can't wait for the feels that many people're talking about.. |
| Hot dang! Yuuki is officially my new favorite character in all of Sword Art Online. I thought Yuuki calling Asuna Nee-chan was cute and I wanted her to keeping doing so. But what is the issue with the Sleeping Knights? What's wrong with Yuuki? I AM SO CONFUSED!!! |
 |
| Not a bad episode. The fights were pretty enjoyable, good dialogue and a little cliffhanger. It did get annoying with all the teasing about the mystery of Sleeping Knights and Yuuki, but guess we'll find out what happens next time. I really like Asuna, so much better Sinon... The battle OST is amazing. You can hate SAO all you want, but the tracks are an undeniable strength of the anime. 4.5/5 |

| Damn that was cool. Yuuki and especially Asuna tore shit up in the PvP sector. Asuna has obtained god mode. Yuuki rekt the boss at the end. Kirito and Klein were also rekt at some point. After putting up a hell of a fight I'm sure. Drama bombs dropped constantly at the second half. From the time they left the boss room till the very end everyone was hiding some pretty big secrets. Of course this is gonna lead to some kind of feels trip by the end. |
| I got way too excited for Klein's small cameo. >__< |
| Another great episode. Was tearing up a bit, remenbering stuff... and by the end even let some tears. Yuuki is SAO's best girl, she can even built a harem of her own! |
 |
If that's the case then it's way too obvious and Asuna should have pieced it together by now. I've disliked this season ever since they ended the Gun Art arc. I feel like no effort has been put into making this interesting anymore. "Oh there's a quest lets go do it! YA!". There's no more sense of danger anymore. |

The show is not about the sense of danger though. The sense of danger came from VR which is what the show is clearly about. Not everything needs to be about danger. Danger, death etc can be present and not be harmful to everyone but a select few. |
| The fight wasn't too long, Asuna caught its weak spot and changed the strategy. Kirito makes a brief apperance and pawns the other group. I'm wondering how to these guys now know who Kirito is. He beat Death Gun, and is current champ along with Sinon in BoB. They were surprised he dodged those moves easily with his sword. The arc is coming to a close, Zekken obviously is hiding something from Asuna. The tears at the end left Asuna in a confused expression. Only 3 eps left and next episode says "Journeys End". The arc could conclude in ep 23 and ep 24 could be used as a filler. That's only if the show were to conclude in the next 2 episodes. |

PriestSlayer said: Amazing episode, The Sleeping Knights completed their goal and i think it's fairly obvious that Asuna and Yuuki are sisters, or she's gonna die or something like that. (I'm an anime-only watcher btw) Kirito was pretty bad ass, as always. The OST this week was fantastic too, Madoka Magica style.  SO MUCH DOUJIN MATERIAL! 5/5 That is where the whole Yuuki gonna built a harem idea cames from! She wants Asuna for herself, to the point Kirito harem will be reduced by one!! BTW this |

Imagine it ending with the prologue to Underworld Arc >.< (Showing Eugeo cutting a giant tree with Kirito behind him, Alice coming over carrying a basket from a distance) salmon3669 said: Or they could end it with Volume 9 Prologue II. Boom! Jaws dropping everwhere. Might be better this way too ^^ |

| So many questions and no answers in this episode. It was a great episode but I want to know what's wrong with them already. Great animation in the fights as always. |
| Wow, I'm glad that they cleared the boss level in this episode, but the feels men, Yuuki, why? ;-; |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |

|
| I am prepared for the incoming feels. I think. This arc is definitely a good one so far just based on animation quality and actual interest from me. The lack of Yui/Kirito/Asuna cringe moments are already making this arc fantastic. |
| That was amazing. Kirito so cool. lol poor Klein as usual. |
| Starting to enjoy the series again ever since Yuuki was introduced. They pulled out some of the best OSTs from season 1 for the battles which was awesome. If this arc ends with no molestation/attempted rape then it will be great. :D |
| Nice episode. Kirito to fast for magical attacks to hit him. Sleeping Knights vs the BOSS. Round 2. A weakness found this time. Some good action and Yuuki going in for the kill was great. Poor Yuuki for tearing up. 3 more eps to go. |

koroX said: Great episode. 5/5 Hmm, I'm not really sure whats happening, but my best guess is that the Sleeping Knights are all cancer patiens or some sort of leathal illness. That is only a hteory though. Exactly my thoughts. You beat me by six minutes. |

That is only a hteory though. Exactly my thoughts. You beat me by six minutes. That's what I was thinking too. That would explain their reluctance to talk about themselves. What I don't get is Yuki? Could Asuna really have a sister she doesn't know about? |

| The fight was very good, and I like how Kirito hit these magic attacks like a champion. Yuuki is getting cuter after each episode |
| Great episode, once again. Loved the fight scenes, and the animation quality is top notch as usual. Somewhat sad that SAO'll end in just a couple of weeks. Really hoping for a good ending. |

That is a crucial one in every team fights especially boss fight and yet. -_- 7VS 20 was possible because the 7 were incredibly haxx. 2vs 40+ ended exactly as it should - the two getting owned hard. No there is not. VR is focused on realism. |

| Oh god the feels of this show! Knowing what's coming makes it THAT much worse... I literally watched this entire arc with a heavy heart... and now it's just gonna get worse :( I hate to say it, but that wall of fame on Level 1 of Aincrad reminds me so much of those murals that they have to engrave the names of fallen soldiers. The similarities made things twice as depressing, even though it was suppose to be an achievement to celebrate about. Kirito's parts were really diminished here. I thought we'd actually get to see Yuuki interact with him somewhat.... ah well... there's always the stuff in the next episode. Bring on the feels! I got my goggles ready, not gonna get ninja'd by onions! |

Liesianthes said: This episode animation, OST is perfect in a normal anime. Yes, in a normal anime set aside those 7 vs 20 and 2 vs those guilds back-up battle which is kinda impossible but who cares this is SAO we're talking about but. There is one certain scene that made me go WTF and that is after Asuna discovered the weakness of the boss, she asked the other healer to take care of the support because she will tell the plan to Yuuki directly and she did. So does that mean that the common "PARTY CHAT" doesn't exist in this game? A futuristic game and yet, no party chat? That is a crucial one in every team fights especially boss fight and yet. -_- I'd imagine VR would make you use verbal communication instead of text. Still even in real life if you need to talk to someone four feet from your location you walk/run to them. Not text them lol. This showed how strong Kirito is without being OP. Of course he is very strong but even he is not a match for a guild. He bought enough time for Asuna+Sleeping Knights to enter the boss room. Then came the badass V pose which seems to be the trend in this arc which is awesome. Yuuki obviously starting it. |

| Meanwhile all the LN readers are just laughing at our guesses. Just thinking to themselves going these guys just don't know. |
 That's all I have to say. |
 |
| Something very sad is totally coming... |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| I would search all worlds known and beyond unknown for the seven dragon balls to wish Yuuki and the Sleeping Knights another chance at life. |

| Yuukis not telling asuna something... |
 |
| Asuna's lost imouto confirmed? Maybe Yuuki just had a sister that was also named Asuna and who died or something. But first thing would be cooler. The girls in the opening don't look like one of them is Asuna though, so it's probably not it. Anyways, Mystery is shaping up. |
