Phaetons_Folly said: This is actually one of the best set ups SAO has done so far. It's nice to have a good understanding of the main villain at the start of the arc instead of just appearing right at the end. The death of the two Dark Knights did a great job in establishing how powerful Gabriel is, but also the philosophy he will be following in his assumed role. He is a solidly evil character that hopefully turns out to be a great antagonist. To me it looks completely opposite, we rapidly got rid of two characters that could've been interesting and for what, a villain who turned into the standard evil psycho who gets off to doing unspeakable things to people. C'mon, somewhat relatable villains are nice too, add them once in a while too instead of this crap. As for how powerful he is, all I could think of was dude he just logged in on an already existing account. :) |
| That backstory is very messed up, but that means the villain is finally interesting this time. I definitely did not expect that. No idea how he stopped that attack, but I don't see how they can lose. |

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| good episode, but damn things got dark. This creepy, psychopath Gabriel/Miller killed their childhood friend just to see their soul and devoured Lipia's soul. This guy indeed doesn't know what human life is, and what love is, Shasta is right. Not even Shasta could avenge Lipia, that creep just devoured his soul like it was nothing. Both Shasta and Lipia desired peace with the Human Empire. This episode did a good job establishing the antagonist, and soon enough this creep will crumble and suffer. |
| Damn, he murdered Alicia. His thoughts are an example of what goes on in a serial killer's head in real life. Vixur's rage & final attack looked cool! Too bad it didn't do anything against the Emperor. |
| Seeing his past, Gabriel legit has some issues which is kinda disappointing to see yet another psycho villain as I was kinda hyped for having a mercenary as antagonist that didn't went too far in being evil. |
 |
| Lipia and Shasta should have just fled to the human realm, Bercoli might have offered them asylum or something... |
| Well gahhdan, Gabriel is weird |
