| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, after that fight, it looks like Eugeo and Kirito manages to move on and progress further into the tower of floors. Alice is also back! It's been awhile and honestly at this sage, I think they should be prepared for just about anything. Alice seems rather cold seeing them though. Speaking of which, I find her battle stance to be really dangerous leaving little openings. Not to mention, her sword attack itself is not something to take lightly. Yup, this could be their biggest challenge so far yet. Kirito not holding back as expected while coordinating his attack with Eugeo. |

| They, a human, were doing it for justice, so it's strong. She's dead... Main guy used the knife, so the librarian agreed to save her. A maid appeared to lead them via elevator like object. She's been doing it for over 100 years and forgot her name. Their next enemy is Alice girl. He failed to freeze her (She used the power of her sword to unfreeze it). The wall collapsed and Alice girl and main guy fell, but the wall recovered on its own. The title of next ep... are they trying to discuss for pause of war? |

| What just happened at the end, lol? I can't believe people said Alicization is the best arc in SAO. It's filled with pointless side characters and fights. The only blessing it's brought so far is best boy Eugeo. God, can't wait till it's over. |

| That thing Kirito did to beat that woman looked dark as hell O_O Pretty sure that later, Kirito is gonna regret using that dagger to save her tho But man, every time I see how people in this church has lost their memories, it makes me hate Administrator even more....This shit is wrong man TwT Alice's sword being like Byakuya's Senbonzakura from Bleach put a smile on my face though and given what its made from, I'm not surprised to see how powerful it is But I fucking knew that something was gonna happen that would have ended up messing up their plan to save Alice lol, god damn it xD If they gotta climb all the way back up that's gonna suck But anyway, I just hope that nothing happens to Eugeo in the meantime |
| Good episode. Looks like Cardinal decided to take care of the Knight from last episode after she suffered major injuries. Loving Alice's powers, they're pretty cool. I hope we get to see more of what she can do with her sword. It's essentially Byakuya's (Bleach) Senbonzakura right? xD Kirito and Alice's little skirmish was quite cool. A1 really nailing the fights this season. :) What happened at the end? It almost looks like someone triggered the wall break rather that it happening because of the clash. |

| Kirito's enhanced armement sure ended that dual with Fanatio quite dramatically. But the injuries that he took sure was a lot. Despite the fact that she was an enemy it was nice seeing Kirito work so hard to save Fanatio. Hmm thats a long time elevator girl's been doing her job. The convo with her provided some interesting insight into the life of those that live within the church. The momentary peace between Alice and the two sure was nice. A nice calm before the storm moment. Impressive in that Alice's sword's true form was a tree. The dual between Alice and Kirito and Eugeo though was awesome and showed well the power that she commands. Though their combo attack was well executed Alice's sword sure put paid to that plan. That dual sure ended rather dramatically. |

| Damn Alice is OP, and sad that the loli girls didnt join the Kirito Harem..... |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| Fine episode. The little fight that Alice and Kirito had, had a predictable-ish end imo. But still, the episode did have some decent action. |
| eugeo - "waaah, waaah! i dont understand why integrity knights dont use their power for more" what kirito shouldve said - "they are being mind controlled... you know this already!" |

| Alice sword is really terrifying... she was somehow able to push Kirito back and Kirito could barely have the time to react, either that sword is just way too over powered since it was a first creation thing, or it is Alice herself who is just strong, and have the technique to use it at the full potential. Also can someone confirm to me if the fight was suppose to be a little longer than this? I felt that it was way too short. I mean I might've spoiled myself for this light novel a long time ago. But I thought the fight here was suppose to be a little longer before Kirito and Alice blew each other out of the tower. I would be very grateful if somebody can let me know. Thanks! |

| Damn, Alice is way more OP than i thought. Really enjoyed this episode, especially the action scenes as always. Waiting for next week! PS: i wonder who broke the wall at the end.. someone trying to interfere with their fight i believe. Next ep. maybe we'll find out. |

Chevalsky said: do guys think the fight scene is so slow just like in slow motion? xD it's not so fun to watch the fight It's explained in the novels. Alice's style uses single STRONG sword strikes instead of several fast moves. (Kirito is is totally blown away from those strikes this ep lol) Was it high norkia style..? or something. The style was mentioned before in the academy episodes too. During the fight Kirito was surprised by how strong and threatening that style can actually be when performed by someone of that level. Previously Kirito looked down on that style. |

Alice is saikou no cooooool! |
 |
| Bit too much of a Saber clone appearance-wise but ah well, at least the sword effect was pretty cool That sure as hell was not how I expected the episode to end though |

Previously Kirito looked down on that style. Nope, it's not her style it's her sword that is extremely heavy because it's the strongest divine object as mentioned in the novel. Also about the speed it is not true either, in the novel Eugeo explain that the reason Kirito keep getting blown away and forced to receive her sword is because he can't avoid Alice's slash which is very quick to dodge. Of course it is also mentioned that she has a terrifying swordmanship too. He states that Kirito himself realized all of that and left him in shock and fear hahaha In other words Alice is very OP yes, she's not only has strength and technique but also the best sword and speed. The reason it seems slow is the animation problem tho but can't be helped seeing the quality from previous episode would be hard to keep it from dropping. |

| tfw you are about to kill a boss and there is an update and you repop behind the wall. |
| Kirito's attack was awesome! Alice is a Byakuya. |
 |
| I feel the battle is underwhelming... Feel like a bad slow Tokyo Ghoul battle.. Especially if compared to the Goblin battle from way back then... Hope next battle will be a lot more epic.. |
| Good episode, one thing I like from this season are the sound effects. Tbh I just was waiting Alice to appear. Now to wait for Kirito to join Alice in the group, I suppose. |

SNDT said: More exposition and idiotic fights lmao, truly the best arc! This is what happens when you think you are watching another serie, but no you are watching SAO :^) PD: Slow motion was quite good, I liked the dramatic effect that was breathed in combat. |
 |
| Lol that ending was unexpected. |
 |
SNDT said: exposition? did we watch the same episode?More exposition and idiotic fights lmao, truly the best arc! |
MrBluebear said: but at the same time, fast-fight scene in this series are more worked because of the intensity of the duel...just look on previous season when Asuna fight with Yuuki.... maybe a later fight we have it the intense-fight style I hope... Yeah, there are different styles depending on the scene in question and on what kind of feeling they tried to convey. |

| Awesome episode, finally Alice is back! Kirito's enchance armament is really powerfull, they defeated Fanatio and they managed to use dagger on her to save her, i am glad that Cardinal agreed with that! They managed to reath 80th floor with help from elevater operated, that had a sad life always doing the same! The floor 80th was really beautifull, i loved that garden! Alice is so much powerfull and i love her sword power, i love to see her duel against Kirito, Kirito and Eogeo teamwork made them freeze Alice, but it wasn't enough, her sword's power set her free, Eogeo was really close to use dagger on her, but wall colapsed and both desapeared, and it ended with a clifhanger! Wonder what will happen next episode with that title! Tokoya said: Alice's sword being like Byakuya's Senbonzakura from Bleach put a smile on my face though and given what its made from, I'm not surprised to see how powerful it is Both of you, really well mencioned, i find Alice's sword power familiar, and yes you remembered me about Byakuya's Senbonzakura! |
 |
| Great episode. Really liked how things went down between Kirito, Alice and Eugeo. Alice is so damn strong lol, what a cliffhanger. very excited for the next ep. |

Pedram said: Bleach started in 2001 but the arc when Byakuya showed off Senbonzakura happened in 2005 or the year before, I'm not too certain since it was the specific volume containing that chapter that was released in 2005, and usually we get volumes a while after they come out in WSJTokoya said: Great minds think alike xD (Also, there's no way in the hell that the author didn't rip that from Bleach lol) Alicization was written in 2005, not sure when these Bakai stuff from Bleach was released or became popular tho. if it was later, maybe they both rip it off from another less popular story and we dont know it :P But who knows, maybe you're right and they both ripped off something else lol |
| Wow, that enchance armament by Kirito to defeat her. That's our Kirito for you, doing everything he can to save a life. Man those potions Cardinal makes are incredible they are completely back to 100% It's Alice! this place they are at definitely looks like their past with the field and tree ect, either way it's a nice scenery. Wow her sword is so powerful, Kirito is just doing enough to stay with her, Alice even praised him. I knew it wouldn't be that simple to contain her long enough but what happened at the end was quite the turn of events, now to wait until next time to see how they get out of this predicament. |

| only few integrity knights remain and Alice is one of them i must say Alice seems overpowered with that Senbonzakura sword lol (Byakuya of Bleach much?) |
| Waiting for Alice to yell: EX....CALIBAAAAAAAA |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Excalibur is that you? No, but really the sword is more like a flower whip. So cool, although I cried a little bit because I thought the osamanthus tree was really her closed off memories of Eugeo's tree. ;-; |
| That... wasn't good. No no no no no. After the storm that was the last episode here was I thinking I was gonna see a great conclusion and for the first time have two good SAO episodes back to back. Nope. Episode starts with the conclusion of the fight making the previous cliffhanger useless; They add nothing to Fanatio which was the highlight of the previous episode; They save her by wasting a dagger for nothing; They forget about what they said to the sisters about the Knights being strong; They go and find an elevator (how lucky); They fight Alice in a bland directed scene with fucked up animation (animation that existed through out the entire episode); and end in another cliffhanger (a very poor one). Personally, i think this was the worst episode of season 3 unlike the previous one that was the best. |
