first it was attack on Titan and now SAO too? What is going on? So what's up guys Foxen
here! And that's right just like Attack on Titan SAO is also entering its final
arc pretty soon. Cuz of that they recently released this awesome cover for
the first book of the final SAO chapter. On the cover you have furry Alice
and Undine Asuna. I got a strong feeling this neko Alice will sure be
popular and there goes another hundred dollars on her upcoming figure. Then
let's not forget about Kirito. He's got some interesting armor going on.
What's up with all that padding this time around? I guess Kirito forgot
how to dodge. Also looks like he's holding some generic looking blade. Again
what is going on? Is Kirito getting reset to the beginner level again? Then
behind all of them you see the shadow of the Aincrad Castle. Once again the
original SAO will play huge part in this. This final SAO arc is titled 'Unital
Ring' and it takes place right after Alicization. Let me just go ahead and
give you the short intro from Amazon. Kirito and Asuna are suddenly involved
in this mysterious game. The name is Unital Ring. This survival MMO begins in a
new world were all the VR mmo's built with the seed program have merged. So
yes Unital Ring quite literally everything is coming together at least
that's what it sounds like. As for the release date this is actually
coming out next month in December although of course the official
translation will be years behind unfortunately. And about this final arc
the Unital Ring. The question sao fans are wondering is how long will it be? SAO
Alicization was ten light novels plus two for the site story. I got a feeling
this final arc won't be as long. At the same time I don't think this being a
light novels is too crazy in other words this final arc should be long but not as
long as Alicization. Let's just go ahead and assume this final arc for SAO will
be eight or nine light novels so how long do we actually have left for SAO?
Keep in mind that Reki has heavily slowed down releasing light novels. I mean the
guy is working so much. He's working the main SAO story and SAO progressive, accel
world, Isolator and at least one or two more
things so i'm thinking at best it'll be two light novels a year maybe three. This
does mean three or four years until the last SAO
arc is over. So just thinking about it that's like 2022.Oon top of that you also
have however much time it takes for this to get adapted into the anime so roughly
speaking SAO still has another four to five years. Yes attack on titan will be
over before SAO is and even then i don't discount possible side stories. Just
to quote great Titan "that does put a smile on my face." And in case you're
craving even more info about this Unital Ring arc the prologue actually got
released a while back for it. There are minor spoilers here but i
won't be avoiding main stuff Alicization. Here are some of the
highlights it starts off with some mysterious voice talking about
unification or uniting. This is presumably Kayaba or rather the Kayaba
copy that's somewhere floating around the interwebs. This whole story is kicking
off a few months after the end of Alicization. For Kirito it's actually ten
days before his 18th birthday. Even less time before Asuna's birthday. At this time
Kirito's struggling to pick out a present for his beloved Asuna. Nnd by the
way the Augma and AR Yuna is referenced now too so even the SAO movie has been
integrated into the novels. As for cat girl Alice they do mention why she
picked the cat race in Alfheim online. Alice really just wanted whatever was
easiest to become a dragon rider with. Near the end of it suddenly SAO within
Alfheim online start shaking then cut. Is it the unification they were talking
about? Most likely. So let's go ahead and pause right here. Post down below what
you think is happening! What do you personally want to see in this final
SAO arc? I'll let you know my quick thoughts on this so first off let me
actually start with my worries. The short summary of this really sounds like the
type of story you'd see for an SAO video game instead. This unification of
the VR worlds seems to be part of Kayaba's master plan but the question is why? And
then the Aincrad castle will play a huge part in this once again. The
question is just how much other stakes gonna be raised to this time? I really
don't see Kayaba or SAO in general bringing back the death element. At least
not how I was in season one so could this eventually be leading up to a total
world destruction in some way? Either by nukes going off, the loss of the internet
or some other doomsday scenario. Another thing worth noting is that this arc is
actually not based in a previous written web novel which could be a good or bad
thing. It'll definitely be interesting I mean
no one's gonna know what is coming up next.
Anyway now let's get into my hopes for this final work I would definitely want
to see more of an Asuna focused from the very start.
I mean Asuna did have an amazing role in SAO Alicization. Unfortunately that
wasn't until the later half. I would love to see Asuna up in front from the very
beginning which sounds like what they're doing. I mean something similar to what
they did in the SAO ordinal scale would be great. Also don't forget this
is the final work this should be when Kirito and Asuna finally officially get
married in real life although I do expect this to be near the end of the
arc. Since so far they've been teasing you for years and years about this from
stuff like official art which includes game art there's multiple wedding asana
figures and so on. Asuna and Kirito finally getting married
would be the perfect way to end this series so let me actually toss it over
to you guys. Question of the day what do you think about the Unital Ring cover?
