THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


The duel. Kirito uses his dual blades against his opponent as the timer goes down but he struggles a bit. I like Kirito's clothes in that duel outfit although it's not his style imo. The little moment he had with Asuna was cute though.

Thank God for Asuna...

Sweet episode as


Also, the ending....hmm ;) marriage?

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
As the end approaches of the episode as the following,

Came along with the spoiler
it was the KYAAAAAAAAAA YES! As much I personally like to keep Asuna to myself the love deed is done and shown well. Not too long kissing deep, not sure how much but emotional enough. Blushing seemed balanced too. Might edit later cause needs to calm down.

About the fan service, well finally they did in the spoiler
That for sure cannot be denied. Asuna in her glorious bra and panties along with ass. Just like in the poster version, which matches it. It was fine and since I myself have Asuna naked around as a desktop thingy nothing else to say it was done right. It got better later on with Asuna facials in the spoiler
whom are blushing good.

Apart from that which really just show Kirito’s love and its point of start along its spark. The episode itself was good in another sense of fighting in general. Here are the rest of my thoughts.

About the beginning, sure went by fast in the spoiler
despite that the fight was condensed and fast. In thee end Kirito lost big time and it’s plain sad to see his little Beater Alone status go bye but at least he is booty now and he can stop being a little egoistic prick alone in the game now.

About Kirito x Asuna, the first of that in the spoiler
got a nice meaning out of “Caring for someone when they are in deep regret/past contemplating” rings a good bell there as that hug most likely was more meaningful than last one being for too long and stoic at best despite trying to be emotional. This one does a better job at it.

About the look a like of Alexander the Great from Fate Zero, well the guy does have some resemblance to Alexander in the spoiler
so it reminded me a little of him since I terribly miss that series. Regardless the Asuna teasing of him was quite nice to see for its MOE.

About Kuradeel, he is so insane in the brain that this is where the following,

comes in along with the spoiler
WOW! Guy almost kills Kirito! SHIT! O_O What’s to mark are several things. For one Kuradeel belongs to the “Laughing Coffins” which means he kills real people for fun from the looks of it. Second of all Kuradeel is plain INSANE IN THE BRAIN! He need to get to a mental ward and be locked for life less you want him to kill you and your whole family, which he most likely is capable as much as Charles Manson did.

What was lovely is how Kuradeel got dealt with in the spoiler
by not only Asuna but Kirito. Seems to be right back at him and his evil deeds. That being said Kuradeel MUST DIE! He is insane and cannot get the help he needs in SAO. Therefore he must be eliminated.

Might edit later cause needs to calm down.

BTW End Art in the spoiler
is wedding time. Yeah sure Kirito finish school, get a job and family with Asuna. That’s the way of life.

I find that the 3D girl in the spoiler
rather imitates well Asuna and does a good job at her cosplay. Just sharing the best IMO render of IRL person to Asuna. Maybe not perfect but close enough to perfection compared to others.

Strong opponent, so the guy lost.

He talks to the girl about the time he joined the team because she asked about not joining the team. He's just afraid that more people would die because of him. She said she will be protecting him, so she's not going to die.

That Yusa-san's character is in the same group as him with another guy, who seems kinder. Yusa-san's character is evil, though, because he's a spy. She saved him just in time.

That was unexpected because the two became close all of the sudden. Even promising of marriage!

Missed the livestream. Damn PapaKiki.

The duel was pretty sweet. Dat sakuga. Especially the conclusion.
Kirito looked stupid in white though. Doesn't fit him.
Though they kind of changed some minor stuff in lots of parts but ehh, what can you do. It was still enjoyable to watch. Could have been better but never mind.
Next should be Morning Dew Girl. Should be good. Can't wait to see her already.
Oh and love the end art.

Well they changed things but it was ok again its a ADAPTATION so you can expect it.

As the episode the duel was really good really enjoy it specially the end.

The betrayal was ok,Kurandel crazy faces were good,and HAND SLASH!!


Kirito and Asuna Kiss was sooo cute!!! and then Asuna "misunderstanding" was so fun her faces were great.

Well next epsiode will get Morning Dew Girl,see how it goes!!

BTW Asuna Epic skills were shown!!

Omg. I saw the screenies. Is that what I think it is?!?!?! Well, waiting for the subs. Will edit later.

They completely destroyed the epic battle between Kirito and Heathcliff. I know that they can't really prolong it but what the hell? That's it? Omg. Major facepalm.

What the fuck. They fucking skipped tons of characters. What's more, the new characters just popped out without any introduction. Hi Godfrey!! Bye Godfrey!! Damn it.

Seriously? They made it look like nothing happened. The incident with Cradil I mean. I guess the director really hates talking and shit. Just animate it! Dont explain anything! Good job A-1 !

Why? Why do they need to skip it? They were supposed to go back to HQ to tell Heathcliff what happened and ask for a temporary leave. Then Kirito was supposed to tell the stuff he said to Asuna on the way back not after defeating Cradil. So fail. FAIL.

Fuck this shit. Our chapter 16 - 16.5 were wasted. Holy mother of fuck. What a disappointment. Fuck.

No need to small size this. This is a discussion let's talk about them....:P

Slut? NO WAY! Marriage is coming up, can't be a slut even before sex marriage as along as marriage happens. Rather smart way to show out this.

They had sex or not who cares it's a game. Did they have a passionate time, YES! And that counts a lot, sometimes I can be a little pheremonal kid but this time around it was cool.

Bitching? Only one from me is that I want Asuna for myself along with other guys but that's about it. I don't see what bitching there is when the love is not fake at least. Not unlike Chiyu x Hauruyuki you know.

It's not shown and even if they it would meaningless cause it's a virtual reality game. The meaning is passion in this case and IMO it was there.

Expect bath and naked Asuna is all most likely the merchandise alluded too. That's fine and if it makes money so much the better to have not thread-full disgusting low quality frames such as last episode one frame that should not be there.

Kirito doesn't look good at all in white, it's feel odd.

Do you not think it's weird that HeathCliff won the match?
Kirito just end up frozen in the air, he was supposted to take him down with that hit.

Well, Kirito got almost killed and it was really painful to watch Kuradeel torturing people, even thought it's just a virtual reality they still can feel pain at minimum level.
Asuna is getting pissed and almost killed Kuradeel, if Kirito really died here she would go raging and go ahead and killed Kuradeel without hesitated.
But of course the main character won't die.
Now I understand how easy it is to killed in SAO, you paralyzed the players and keep hitting them with your sword.
If Kirito just stand still and do nothing he will definely be dead right now, but he didn't gave up even thought he went paralyzing.

He didn't use a sword or anything just a sword skill with his hand, his unarmed skills must be high to killed him in such an instant. LoL


Asuna and Kirito having sex and they kissed. (>_<)

Asuna x Kirito getting married now and we finally will see Yui-chan in the next episode. Papa!! Mama!!
I wonder who is voice acting her, hope it's getting cute. :)

I haven't read the LN but wow a lot went down this week : O The camera shots they used in this episode were amazing such as when Kirito had the upper hand then the GL used his special attack I particularly enjoyed.

Did they have sex btw in the anime adaptation O.o? She punched him after he said he only wanted to stay the night but then Asuna wakes up naked. I heard from a friend that in the LN they do and have a hentai chapter pretty much.

I really love this show. Another fantastic episode. Between the suspense of the duel to almost seeing Kirito be murdered, then to the relationship of Kirito and Asuna finally progressing to the direction we all knew it was going. Also plenty of funny/cute/adorable moments. Overall just a great well-rounded episode that i enjoyed thoroughly!

Next weeks episode should be amazing as well.

Take into account that Kuradeel's life bar was almost empty after Asuna's attacks. That's why Kirito managed to kill him so easily with a single hit. I don't think it was some super skill or anything; it probably was just a simple punch.

Nah, it was skill, not something unique like dual wield but still not some random punch (he simply punched Klein in ep 9, you can clearly see differences)
