m-i-c-h-a-e-l said: Do physics, strength, and stamina just literally not exist in this world?? They were both hanging from their swords on the side of the wall like it was nothing. Then he proceeds to climb the wall using toothpicks wedged into the cracks, and has to lift a deadweight girl wearing armor all along the way. Couldve used the "generate metallic element" command to create a spiral staircase attached to the wall. And dont tell me it wasnt possible due to the size; because Eugeo was able to cover an entire floor of the tower with ice. Their strength is really high remember about object control authority? It's similar to str status and kirito or alice have a high authority and capable to lift and swing their damn heavy sword so lifting up their body is a child's play. And he's not without struggle too, he even implore alice to stab her own sword to because he can't hold on anymore right? Well alice's armor and sword is extremely heavy after all and after she stab her sword kirito lost strength and fell which shows it's not easy carrying two people. Also what do you mean? Eugeo's technique is the weapon control art of his sword and it's far different than a simple elemental generation art, it's impossible to create a huge and complex thing even alice said what she can do most is changing object shape while she's not capable of changing it's mass or attribute. |

~my list
| Best episode so far. |
| Alice > Asuna Fight me. |
| Everytime Alice talks I have Lalatina in my head. |
| There are lots more banter in the novel, Alice said Kirito's ear is a hole full of insects. XD |

Pretty sure the mechanics of object control authority are different from physical strength and stamina.. That's because anime did not elaborate it much but in the novel it is explained that Object Control Authority is basically STR or something related to physical while System Control Authority is basically INT or something similar |

XD Pretty sure when Alice ask how he plans to climb and he told her to 'obviously' run over the wall but immediately said he's joking because of her cold eyes. And I also remember that he even tried to pretend that he's falling when Alice being anxious he's climbing the wedge because he wants to tease her but refrain because he's afraid of her lol xD |

| Alice suddenly became a lot more girly... Just watching Kirito climb that tower felt exhausting. |
 |
| Damn that's some bad game design. Boostmeister levels of pixel walking right there. Kirito's only alive because of bad game design lmao. |

| I want to forget that Asuna ever existed, so I can ship Kirito with Alice. Alice is too good to be just a part of Kirito's harem. Also I would feel bad for Eugeo. Why does Kirito has chemistry with everyone he encounters? I guess is in his nature to be a fucking player. |
| Yet another episode of Kirito-sama saves a helpless girl! i wonder if we will ever see a girl that doesn't need Kirito to saves her from her miseries! |
 |
| Hanging on a sword on the wall for that long is bound to get their arms tired...unless stamina isn't a problem in this world... He's gonna repeat that all the way to the 95th floor? We need macros... So uhh...what happened to the metal spike that he was just standing on? I was expecting Alice to be a pretty tough girl...but she's showing a bit of Tsundere here. Well after the encounter with the minions, I think her slaying Kirito will be delayed until she gets her answer... Now Eugeo has to climb the tower solo. Can he do it? |
 |
| Kirito has 99 strength apparently lol. I really like Alice’s character shes super cute. Reminds me of Saber a lot. Nice to see her and Kirito getting along and cooperating to climb the tower. I wonder what kind of magic card Eugeo is going to come up with in order to defeat the strongest knight in the kingdom. Probably something with that eye of his. Theres no way he would win in a fair fight. Gotta reach in the plot device bag |

Mariothedog said: Oh no, trust me they are already bullying Alice because Alice lost the weekly female anime characterAlice is going to be the best tsundere of 2019! |
| Wew, they're really far up in that cathedral, quite a precarious situation that is. Using swords and rods to climb up the cathedral walls. I have so many questions about those gargoyle things up there in the cathedral, but it's gotta wait until the next episode or so. |

In the novel it is explained that if you only got Stamina to run for 1 hours, you can still run for 5 hours w'o any problem and your strength ill not be effected at all. but once the 1 hour ended, you will star feeing pain and your life will drop little by little but until ur life don't reach zero you can still run at 100% power lol same with lifting more than you can handle, reduce your life. the heavier it is the more it reduce it. btw it might seems too long but it wasn't that long when they were out there. it was already near evening and then it got dark. pretty sure a few hours only passed. About the Metal Spikes, they are Generated items, they got very small durability and life. they disappear after a few min and can't be reused coz they break. the reason they did not pass the old one and use again is this. and also the reason the old ones disappear and u can't see a long line of metal rode sticking to wall behind them. |

| This episode was not good at all, just watching Kirito climb that shit and him literally havng to carry Alice's ass was exhausting. Not really feeling this adaptation at all, like its either I grew out of SAO (tho I never really liked this show that much before) or the pace is just too damn slow for me to give a fck anymore. I swear to God I only watch this now cause it comes after Kaguya-sama on BS11. |
  |
| Hope Alice doesn't join Kirito's harem. Wish they paid a little bit more attention to physics in the climbing scene. With Kirito's shoes and the round "wedge shape", he would fall to his death quite easily. Do we know the character whom Eugeo met at the end? The way he was shown looked like we've already seen him. Why isn't Eugeo looking out the window to see if he can save his Kirito and Alice? Are the windows not usable? |
| Oh boi, in the end, SAO is still a harem series. all this story only to make new girl join the harem. i wonder what reaction people give at the end of the series. |

| Yay proper screentime for Alice and oh my is she a lot cuter than I expected to be as a Integrity Knight and a Tsundere as well. Time to add her to the Harem! I have to say, that climbing that wall on such thin pins and being able to stand on it, seems utterly ridiculous. I am not so quick to complain, but this just seemed way off. Back to real life and they are talking about ships... Yeah, I definitely ship Alice with Kirito! I'm sorry Eugeo... Alice is just way too adorable! Eugeo has also run into someone, another Integrity Knight, in a bath no less. |
 |
| For some odd reason, this episode seem to have attracted a couple of cancerous trolls to this episode discussion and predictably left their usual BS behind. Typical, really. Ignore them and they'll go elsewhere to troll. =/ Ontopic now and Alice's constant tsundere expressions was really cute and amusing. Kirito really verbally ripped Alice apart during their argument, with him calling her an idiot eight times in one minute that left her fuming. Cute. =3 But they did come to a truce as they were still hanging on the Cathedral wall and Kirito's plan to climb himself and hoisting Alice up the wall must've been really knackering. On top of that, they had to fight gargoyle-like monster from the Dark Territory that surprised Alice. It's now making her question as to why they would be on the wall of the Cathedral in the first place. As for Eugeo, he's on his own now and he's encountered his next opponent on the 90th floor who, apart from his smirk, looks to be another tough one. I have a feeling that Eugeo's going to have a hard time, but i hope he'll win though. =) |
| Wait how come Alicization has a score of 7.97? I've heard nothing but praise for it thus far and I agree with it. SAO has always been this show that does somethings right but a lot of things wrong which equals mediocre to bad, but this season has been fantastic. It's sad that people will just blatantly hate on it because it's name is Sword Art Online. I didn't even like the first 2 seasons and I agreed with people who were criticizing it but this is nonsense |
 |
| ok wow so they got to talk atleast |
 |
| Kirito and Alice lone time, but I kinda think that for Kirito to hoist Alice up when he is standing on a stake simply violates the laws of physics, since in order for him to hoist Alice he should standing on something that is flat, it also means that he has to have a clear line of space behind him to use his center of gravity. |
| I was not supporting the "all wahman get useless and weak once they meet alpha male kirito" BS in SAO, but here she literally forgets how to climb. Lmao. Alicization is the best part of SAO? Nice joke. It was cute though, calling her an idiot 8 times, boi thats not Darkness you know? The whole episode was sweaty palms material though, and great camera angles. We saw Asuna again, which is a plus. Minister-san was showcasing his Kancolle skills as well. It seems to get interesting with them so close to floor 100, but I still wonder how they are going to fill the last 2/3rd of the episodes. I was expecting some adventure after they flew out off the tower, still nothing here. I dont want to sound to critical, I enjoy the show so far, but with everyone hyping it up before, I dont see its value over SAO or GGO so far |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| It is funny how people are complaining that Kirito shouldn't be able to balance over the thin stake inside a simulation, but no one complains about the physics of manoeuver gear in attack on titan that takes place in real world in super high speed. |
| It's nice how they forced rival characters to interact in a dangerous situation, I love episodes like that. That being said, I can't believe for a second that they were not afraid, I mean, the were having casual conversations while hanging from the world's largest tower like it was nothing, and of course, Kirito saves the day with his godly habilities, that was pretty much bullshit. But it was an okay episode overall |
| Read in some posts above that ufotable was collaborating with A1 on this, but they are no longer? Anyone know when they stopped collaborating? Had a hunch that ufotable was doing some coloring too, because the first ten episodes looked very well done, and the mature scene also looked like some scene out of Kara no Kyoukai 5. Anyways, good episode. An episode with Sabe- Alice in all of it is always good. Not too much to say about the episode, it was just enoyable for a harem guy like me. I still miss OP1 and ED1. |

| Very entertaining episode. I never knew how strong Kirito was until now... He literally swung Alice 10ft in the air lol. Looks like Eugeo will face his first real challenge. Can’t wait for next weeks episode |
