| Oh damn. Imouto is uber-cute. Give up on Asuna, Kirito! =D |
| Magic casting looks really cool. |
| How is Kirito's class useless compared to others? I really dont get it. he can turn into a big monster and rampage all over the place - you can do big damage although you'd be easy target , also he has hyperspeed. O.O Illusion skills arent bad either ( kirito - kage - nojutsu lmao), he could clone himself or be really tricky.. I found this episode enjoyable. |
 |
| This episode is AWESOME SAUCE! The fight against 12 prick is epic going wild in demon form DAMN! Suguha has awesome cleavage during the fight and IRL xD need more episodes! |
JavierR said: This episode severely lacks sugou. I am dissapoint. As am I. |
 |
| Decent 3/5 :) |
 |
| Amazing episode, And it seems like the next one is going to be very interesting as well. |
| Pretty good episode.Kirito turned into boss from SAO. |
 |
| it was an ok episode...was thinking it could have been more epic but I guess after having read the LN and seeing how this series has panned out from the beginning, it goes to show that expectations are a bitch. Oh well, 6 more episodes to go and seeing how this ends, I'm hoping if they do create another season that it'd be picked up by another studio or a different director(like say bones as the studio and Shinichiro Watanabe on the storyboard). :) prismheart said: This show has taught me that online games are serious business. it is if your a ninja, chinese farmer, or a guild leader who kicks you for missing 1 raid |
| Amazing episode! |
| Dies Irae! :) |
| Damn. I didnt expect Kirito to transform into a monster and just went berserk! I am kinda not excited on the war that will happen since Kirito isn't needed there really... but I guess we will get to see the other leaders. |

Like there's really no RL consequences in the game like in SAO so it just seems overly dramatic.. and lmao @ having something like a paralysing arrow like that in the game, I mean how long would something like that really last in a game? 1. no not really. his stats are already nearly maxed out from the SAO character transfer 2. if it is something you enjoy why not take it a bit more seriously? things can be fun in this instance with out the herp derp of online play. |

Considering the end game content of this game is bad game design, causing a huge imbalance between the races, its somewhat serious. And if you played MMOs such as WoW, some of the higher up guilds are very serious about the content, i know it first hand :P. |
| ALO is actually much, much better than SAO. This game's dynamic duo (Kirito/Leafa) is also way more likeable than Kirito/Asuna. Maybe I'll consider bumping my score up. Maybe. But what the fuck, Kirito; why in God's name did you bite her fingers... And I still don't get why Sugu hasn't figured it out that Kirito is her brother. Wouldn't she know from news or other sources (like Sugou did) that "Kirito" was the name used by Kirigaya Kazuto, the guy who beat SAO? |

It was never publicly displayed that Kirito was the savior of SAO. Only reason why NTR dude knows is because his top admin of ALO(who owns SAO's old server) |

I was referring to the super speed and the OP monster form, unless I'm forgetting the speed in an episode he had neither of those in SAO. 2. I meant they made it sound so dire, I understand taking a game you invest time into more seriously but damn, you swore the guy was doing his backstabbing IRL. Although I've seen enough E-rage to know where you are coming from with this. He has always been pretty fast in this series and especially now with using the older nerve gear with the less restrictions on the full drive. "The spell Kirito casting is an illusion magic that makes a player look like a monster. But the magic is not useful in actual combat. Because the shape depends randomly on the player's combat skills, usually the result is some weak monster, with no change in stats, since most people are aware of this it won't frighten them." - LNv4p215 I guess 2 years trapped in a death game fucks with the psyche a bit. |

I'm sure he had his speed in SAO, but the monster form was just a spell in ALO, most likely cosmetic and doesn't increase your stats in anyway. |

Although I've seen enough E-rage to know where you are coming from with this. He did have that speed in SAO just like Asuna and other front liners did..At least in the LN.In the Ln it is even stated that the animation from the system couldnt keep up with them so you could only see a blur. |
| The speed is explained in the novel. It's not based on skills or stats. It should be fine if I post it since it isn't spoiling anything. Vol 3, Ch 2. said: In this world, only one thing controls how fast you can move: the speed at which your brain receives signals from the «Full Dive» system and reacts to them. Amusphere sends signals to the brain's cognitive faculties, then the brain processes these signals and produces signals which control the motor functions of the body. These signals are then intercepted by the Amusphere system. The faster a player's brain is able to do this, the faster the player can move in the game. Innate reflexes are one of the things that determine how fast this happens but the speed is also improved with experience, so the longer one plays the faster they can move. |

I totally EVE Online o/ -watch your 6 that's some hardcore stuff right there those EVE players are as serious as you can get lol was funny watching him go all Nom nom in his big beast mode,illusions weak? yeah i guess in combat but vs players i think it would be quite powerful look at mesmers in gw2 :P. |

Don't forget since he is using the first generation of the VR tech the NerveGear there are less restrictions with the interaction of the signals to his brain so that gives him another edge over the ALO players aside from his 2 years in SAO. katsu044 said: lanfire said: KaiKatsuya said: and MMO is serious business, really, do you even EVE Online??

It has been some of the most crazy wildly amusing fun in a game I have played! |
| Note that Kirito and Asuna is the fastest player in SAO. So that end scene wasn't really something strange. Lyfa is one of the fastest Slyphs in flying and Kirito is more faster than him. That's at least what I recall in the novel. The monster thingy was just an illusion skill used by the Spriggans. It's not really overpowered since it's just an illusion. Yui told Kirito to memorize that certain skill since it seems that it will be useful. About the episode, I didn't like how they didn't explain how the stuff works AGAIN. Like for example, the classes. I know that it's not really important but they used it in a conversation in this episode so some people is confused. But it was still a nice episode, still a better adaptation than SAO arc. Btw 6 episodes left, I guess they are going to skip the Next episode will be epic!! Can't wait!! P.S I hate the new discussion rule >.< |

Innate reflexes are one of the things that determine how fast this happens but the speed is also improved with experience, so the longer one plays the faster they can move. For Kirito, SAO's skills are his "innate reflexes".His speed,sword skills,reaction time are just like they were during his final moments in SAO. To put it more correctly Kirito's skills in ALO isnt his status from SAO but his playing time of 2 constant years. |
| Oh man, betrayal? Sounds similar to those scams from Eve Online. |

LazyLuong said: If you enjoy this episode, you are going to enjoy the next episode though I can see troller hating on the upcoming fan service scene XD But yea, this arc was done far better than SAO arc. I am actually enjoying the series now, unlike before. Well I'm off to rewatch Ixion Saga DT, sadly not as funny as Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, but it starts off with MC playing online game as well. Fanservice?You mean |
JavierR said: Explanations/info dumps.And many fights and especially this one were more "hardcore" in the LN.Or at least that's how we imagined it.This anime tends to leave a lot of shit out, judging by the posts. |
| so... Kirito is cheating again isn't he? |
winter_mint said: so... Kirito is cheating again isn't he? Nop, every Spriggan have that skill, but unless they're overpowered like Kirito (2 year worth of... GRIND), they won't become something like that. |
KaiKatsuya said: winter_mint said: so... Kirito is cheating again isn't he? Nop, every Spriggan have that skill, but unless they're overpowered like Kirito (2 year worth of... GRIND), they won't become something like that. Well technically, he's been 'cheating' ever since he started ALO. |
KaiKatsuya said: winter_mint said: so... Kirito is cheating again isn't he? Nop, every Spriggan have that skill, but unless they're overpowered like Kirito (2 year worth of... GRIND), they won't become something like that. His years of experience in VRMMORPG doesn't really have anything to do with that skill. ( If you're referring to the illusion magic ) |
The Fight By Scoops
The End Hope you enjoyed it. |
skudoops said: 1. I was referring to the super speed and the OP monster form, unless I'm forgetting the speed in an episode he had neither of those in SAO. All Spriggans have that speed skill since the beginning, it's just Kirito is abnormally faster because of his stats and his strong reflexes and movement from his real life experiences and traits. As well as that illusion magic that turned him to a monster from his imagination, the illusion shapes by how strong the imagination of the caster is. |
