| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, Linel and Fizel. Never judge kids by their cover. Had a weird feeling about the episode considering the floor they're on. On the other hand, I guess the challenges Kirito faces does show the increasing difficulty. Fanatio is no pushover either. I'd say this is one of his toughest battles so far. |

| They went off-guarded. Eugeo guy was talking with the two girls and both got stabbed. They got carried straight to 50th floor. They were born here and were experimented since young. They were the survivals when experiment stopped, and joined as trainees. Main guy already got the cure and can move when the girls talk too much. He hides behind Eugeo guy so he can judge their weapons. He fights alone while Eugeo guy recovers. The enemy uses the sword that the lady created from the reflection of the sun from the mirrors. It pierced like gun. Main guy was also able to create mirror. The enemy is a female. She's conscious of her being a female knight. After crossing swords, she realized he's different and she's going serious... or not. She shot the ray like not recognizing who is the enemy (including hitting herself). Eugeo guy released his skill and stopped her. Hatred alone cannot defeat her. Official Twitter mentions that OP & ED are slightly different. https://twitter.com/sao_anime/status/1086638158110961664 |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Two loli girls so cute. |
| This episode is a prime example as to why loli's cannot be trusted |
| I'm a little lost on how Kirito deduced that the loli's were gonna use some sort of poison/paralysis . It isn't hard to detect that they were upto something but I'm not sure how he knew from seemingly their scabbards that they were gonna use a paralysis attack. Anyway, it was a good episode. The fight was super cool and the early animation with Kirito charging towards the knight and then jumping off the pillar was really cool. Eugeo using his weapon arts was awesome too. Is Kirito using his next? Wonder what it is. |
 |
| Amazing episode. The fight between Kirito and Fanatio was so amazing. There ase some changes in the OP.. Bercoulli appeared, also starting with with this ep , this part of the anime will be called "Alicization Rising" . CR again is using google translate for the next ep title. . the name is NOT "The Osmanthus Knight".. THE NAME IS "The knight of the Fragrant Olive" (people who are playing SAO games know who this name refers to) |

Well in underworld time there has a been a 2 year timeskip so I assume this was part of the academy training. |

| Ah Linel and Fizel finally make their entrance nice. Their deception though was pretty well played. These two though sure have been living a harsh life within these walls. Watching Kirito turn the tables on the two though was pretty satisfying. Kirito's perception skills are as impressive as ever. Im glad they changed the name of Fanatio's subordinates. The fight with Fanatio sure was intense due to her skill and the unique properties of her sword as well. Despite her initial anger at being unmasked its nice that Fanatio was able to regain her calm and thus her true skill as she fought on. Despite the odds Fanatio's refusal to lose was pretty impressive. Can't wait to see whether Kirito and Eugeo would be able to overcome Fanatio's stubbornness. In a way the integrity knights aren't really evil per se as they too fight to protect as well. |

| A little confused where that female integrity knight's inferiority complex is suddenly coming from.... isn't this a matriarchal society, with the Pontifex being female? Lol |
 |
| Though not an LN reader, I do think the relation between Fanatio and the First Hero was overshadowed quite a lot. Her character was taken too light off. And never trust a deranged Loli. You never know what's in those lil cuties. Like how? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Wonderful episode! First part i was like, dont trust in that little girls, and as i suspected, i knew they were devil! The fight between Kirito and Fanatio was fantastic, Kirito charge against the four knight was with a really satisfying animation! SO, Fanatio without helm, showed to be a beautifull woman! Fanatio's Release Recollection affected even her, i understand how Kirito felt about that! Eogeo's weapon art was awesome, and animation aswell! Looks next episode we will see Kirito's weapon art, will wait for next week hyped! |
 |
| Opening change, I like it. I love the animation of this season. It seems that Quinella can even revive, well, she is the administrator. |

Kirito has his fair share of experience with that. Remember that he was part of the force that tried to weed out Laughing Coffin in Sao and those guys specialised on things like that? Remember Kuradeel when he actually paralyzed Kirito and he almost died due to it? Over the years he learned and is now overly cautious in regards to stuff like this. |

Seems like it's more of a case of him being prepared for the worse cast scenario rather than him knowing for a fact that they were gonna do it. Makes sense I suppose. |

Pedram said: This EP was Awesome :D Lelouch0202 said: Seems like it's more of a case of him being prepared for the worse cast scenario rather than him knowing for a fact that they were gonna do it. Makes sense I suppose. true, Kirito got a lot of exprience and problem with poison, afterall a majority of Laughing Coffin ppl used poison Specially paralyzing poisons, it's even shown way more in Sword Art Online Progressive novel. so you can say he is extremely cautious to this, also both Aincrad and UW are made by Seed, maybe the material for poisons is also same as Aincrad. Regarding this, remember the flashback on episode 7 about the tournament kirito and eugeo participated before they enter the sword academy? Kirito's opponent at that time used the same poison as the one the twin lolis used that's why he's familiar with it. The anime did not elaborated the tournament back then, too bad. |

| Great fight scene this episode, even if how we got there did feel slightly contrived (and over-the-top on the exposition front too); it was nice to see a fight that was fluid and didn't involve people just standing around and talking for ages like the one last week (there were one or two such moments, but they felt far more natural and far less contrived than last week). |
| It was obvious those girls were up to no good. That female knight is a pretty good opponent and her ability is also quite deadly. Glad to see Eugeo being quite constantly useful instead of having Kirito soloing for the most part in this arc. |

You never know what's in those lil cuties. Like how? If you watch the OP you'll see that Bercouli appeared and fight with Eugeo + the scene when Quinella rises from the blood is a little different from the last episode.. As for the ED I didn't watched closely |
|
| The fight was awesome. Everything else was pretty mediocre. |
| No surprise Eugeo was stabbed, you can't trust kids lol, they looked suspicious from the beginning. That's our Kirito for you, he had those 2 figured out from the beginning, and as usual he is a big softy for letting them live. That was quite a cool move Kirito used to reflect her attack back at her. Wow that was some fight they were giving us once her helmet came off, it was very exciting. That is some way to end the episode and hype up the next, looking forward to seeing Kirito's enhance armament and the ending of this battle. |

| It was more than obvious since the beginning that those 2 girls weren't simple apprentices xD Good that Kirito got it before it was too late. The fight scene!!! 10/10 Eugeo's skill, damn! I wonder how they will defeat that girl. So is Alice the Nº1 integrity knight? |

| Great episode, if not amazing tbh. Probably my favorite one so far. The girls Linel and Fizel didnt strike me as trustworthy and sure enough it doesn't take long for them to bring Kiritio and Eugeo to the 50th floor. The fight with Kirito and Fanatio was just top tier. In general everything about it, the sound effects in particular were amazing to me. very much looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| a whole sakuga episode! that was an awesome battle lets see what the enhance armament of Kirito is in the next episode |
| I saw through those two last week... I knew that it was going to turn out like this; but hey, at least it wasn't as dragged out and they'd gotten right back into the action 'cause that fight was special. I really wanted to see kirito's armament but I guess Eugeo's was enough for this episode. Great stuff. Honestly. SAO consistently delivers some of the best fighting... those sword fights. Heaven. |
 |
| What a great episode! The fight was great When the alicization version of Swordland kicked in, I was afraid of going back to the Kirito that could just over power anything but I'm glad I was wrong It's kinda funny how much difference it makes to a show when the characters are straightened out. It also helps that om genuinely invested In the world of Alicization. Carltons log: 15 episodes into SAO Alicization and its still going strong, will it really turn out to be an improvement over the SAO we all know or will it soon go back to being SAO? Stay tuned |
 |
| this was intense! The action so far really is great. Even so I still dont feel the story and characters. And, well, Level 50 and 30 episodes left? Hm. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| What an episode. The fight scenes were just awesome. Eugeo's Enhance Armament was pretty cool. |
 |
| Well, this episode was quite something. Action and OST were on point. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Never let your guard down to a kawaii loli, who knows what she's capable of! |
 |
| Rule #2: We don't love these hoes, because when you love these hoes...well you saw what happened... So basically Lizel and Fizel were being used to help Administrator level up her revive spell lol... Wait...how can Kirito cast out a mirror so fast? No System Call? Looks like the key to defeating the Integrity Knights is to hit them where they hurt most. For Fanatio, it was her hidden identity. I guess that "believe to become stronger" element is going to be a big role when Alice becomes involved, and that power can either help them immensely or completely render them helpless depending on how it plays out. |
 |
| Good. Good good very good. Now I can say it. SAO is a great anime. I didn't know what to think.. Aincrad arc is good, Mother Rosario too, but Fairy Dance and GGO aren't good. Well they are actually pretty bad imo. But hell, HELL THIS FUCKING SEASON. It's actually good! Very good! The animations, osts, story.. IT'S FUCKING FIRE! The only problem is Kirito edgyness. Except that Alicization is actually getting better and better. So finally, after this amazing episode, Im pretty sure that I like this anime, and Im not ashamed. |

| Great episode overall. Love the sakuga this episode, we meet the twins and the vice captain Fanatio synthesis 2. Her ability is light element, its cool to see her ability giving our MCs hard time. And they end it with cliffhanger. Guys all episode is fights so expect this same intense in future battles. |
 |
| Gotta love exposition villains. They give you their life story and unveil their entire plan without even being asked too with a bonus of taking up half the episode while doing so! A bit of a quality dip when the two were exchanging blows. Eugeo's new attack was pretty cool. |
| that ed transition tho |
