JiangHaoyi1979 said: 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. He's in a simulation real world physics and logic doesn't apply . No one complains about attack on Titan breaking the laws of physics and that is set in a real world |

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 But since you asked... This is the best season so far. But it's still... SAO. "Strong girl appears; strong girl gets in danger; Kirito-sama saves strong girl; strong girl joins Kirito-sama's harem". Same recipe used over and over again, every season must have one of these (Asuna, Sinon, Alice). It took a while in this season, but it seems like it's going to happen again. I thought I'd finally be able to give a SAO season an 8, but it's moving towards a 7 after this episode. Well they have to have a weakness they cant be perfect all the time |

well they reinforced the idea that Kirito is Jesus LOL It's kinda droll now that they bother showing Kirito misstep. |

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 Do people still think kirito resurrected himself ... Lol He didnt but he weirdly died way slower in the first arc than everyone else the stabing of hearthcliff was pretty much bullshit even tho i love sao i can see that it has flaws |

I mean, if you're gonna mention somethings thats not to your liking once again, you've gotta mention the things that the season has improved on. Kirito as a character doesn't feel as one dimensional as before, the animation is one of the best I've seen in a long running Anime (especially in this day and age), interesting world compared to gun gale and alfheim, a better crew of characters and the best thing being that Kirito isn't OP for no gosh darn reason. He actually struggles and can't beat the integrity knights one on one as of yet, and actually is improving. |

He NEVER shattered, it was his imagination. he didn't even too much time to die ! because of how the scene was shown, you think he died way slower than others. check the time after his hp reach Zero and remove his imagination, you will have around the same amount of time for him to shatter as Asuna did a few min before him! Just as Asuna did not instantly shatter as she started to glow in Kirito's embrace. Kirito also didn't instantly shatter after he started to glow and moved his hand to hit kayaba 1 more time. Kayaba did not defend and instead smile and let kirito kill him coz he was impressed of what he saw. There is also many layer of logical and game mechanism here as well to explain it all. some are shown in the anime if you are careful enough, but some are only noticed if you read the novels. I'm normally too lazy to write a full on explanation, specially in MAL which is full of mindless haters lol but a few day ago i find someone in reddit who hated SAO but was also intelligent to think for himself, and i explained these all to him, so if u want to read, tell me, i will find it in my old messages and copy paste them all here. |

I'm so sorry for those who say "omG KiriToxAlICE new SHiP Fuck ASuna" because, Kirito is and will always be devoted to Asuna, no matter how many girls join ""Kirito's harem"" (lòl what harem?!) his love will be just for her. Asuna will be the main protagonist along with Alice in the next cour and trust me, she will be one of the strongest and motivated characters. Btw, I really, really like Alice, she's a cutie <3 |

Kirito has some OP stats. They were hanging with 1 arm each and casually talking for 5 min. And then he had to flip up, balance himself, and pull Alice up each block for ~80 floors 😂 I didn’t expect Alice to be such a tsundere haha. She’s cute. Eugeo’s fight next episode with the first integrity knight should be really good. Didn’t think we’d see him so soon. |

Kirito actually got weaker stats than many others including Alice lol you can see how alice lift him so easily when he was falling while he was pulling alice so hardly lol also it was not ~80 floor lol :D they were on floor 80 when they fell out if they went down 80 floor that would be the ground xD I can't remember the exact number but they fell down to 65-70 or so then start coming back up so they go up like 15 floor or something before taking a rest at those status. |

At first I wasn’t sure what I would think of Alice. We have only soon her as a kid and she was super nice, smart and caring. She was cold when she was introduced again but only because of the memory loss but you can see how she actually is during the episode from how she changes as they are climbing. Plus she shows off a cute and caring side. Her character is definitely growing on me. Going to like her even more now. I had to call bullshit on the part when Kirito was holding her up by the chain and she pulled her sword out of the wall. Like no way on the little rod was holding her up and staying on there without falling off 😂 Overall it was a great episode!! 👍🏻 |
Feb 9, 2019 2:21 AM
#122
I mean... I was thinking how the chain would just cause both of them to fall to their doom if one of them did fall.... but I guess logic doesn't quite apply here... Well pardon me for underestimating Kirito and Alice then, who can not only withstand holding the weight of a falling person with a chain but also fling them up to crazy heights with just a chain. Hope this is the starting of the beginning of Alice turning around to Kirito. Either she decides by the end to aid them or the administrator can immediately make her forget everything with a system call, who knows? |

Say What Now?!🤔 She couldn't have thought of a cleaver way around it?! I really like Alice's Character but that sceen really bugged me. |

I really like Alice's Character but that sceen really bugged me. She was not embarrassed, she was not used to doing anything out of the norm. so she could not do it. this scene was to show us how Knight Alice lost her wild and mischievous personality she had when she was a kid because of becoming a knight. The Kid alice would even find loopholes in the law/rules and go have fun in the festival or such, she was used to doing something out of the ordinary. but Knight alice only go by the rules and never did anything outrageous like climbing out of church tower using a fking rode. that's something only someone like Kirito with a mischievous and reckless personality can come up with. |

-Earlier: Wow Alice is so cool and beautiful, although cold and brainwashed. This episode: Tsundere waifu material. -Didn't expect Alice to cower in shyness and worry in such a manner just for that situation. Just how often does she venture beyond the Cathedral lol. Someone who's been out a lot would be used to encountering odd and new scenarios. -Some upper body strength they have... -Alice gets a reality check and realizes that laws themselves may not be as inherently and competently "good and just" as she thought just by virtue of being laws and providing order, and it appears she is still able to recall some lingering things from her past. -Minions were laying in wait on a high level, so clearly either the Administrator or someone high up is colluding with the Dark Territory. -Commander is Alice's uncle eh? Hmm... |

I think it's a given now that Kirito had Alice fall into his trap, the lucky bastard. I feel bad for Eugeo just for that haha, well, it looks like he'll have to worry about that after he deals with this dude, it turned out the hero is well and alive, I can' wait to see his reaction when he sees his sword. |

I kinda like Alice. I wouldn't have thought she would be like this een as a Knight who was brainwashed. The height and the way they climbed really made me anxious. I wonder if that ship will mean some kind of an attack soon. It's a bad omen either way, since we saw some shady scientists there a few episodes ago (not to mention one of the original scientists who "corrupted" the residents of the Underworld). |

Kind of a meh episode, but it looks like next one is going to be awesome again. Alice might be badass with her sword skills, but apparantly she is afraid of heights? Come on now... We go back to the real world and Asuna to find out something about an escort boat going in the wrong direction... Maybe that will somehow be important? Oh man I'm getting bad vibes about that cliffhanger at the end with Eugeo. I remember what Kirito told him like 10 episodes about the "Stay cool" thing only being used during real goodbyes and I feel like that was foreshadowing for this fight he is about to have with this dude in the bath potentially. |

YES!! This is the perfect voice for such a character, if I was thinking about it just by looking at him, this would be it. Now that I think about it, judging from the opening, this was the perfect opportunity for Eugeo and Bercouli to fight alone so it was obvious he was going to be on the 90th floor. The Alice and Kirito moments are nice. I appreciate that, even though they erase their memories which I hate, at least the characters still have a personality. |
