SAO war of the underworld is back this time with a new opening today.
Let's go ahead and get an in depth deep dive into the new opening.
What does it all mean?
Trust me, the level of detail they've done for this opening is top tier set up.
You're excited for SAO Alicization smash a thumbs up and subscribe and let's get into
this.
You got resolution being done by Asuna’s voice actors.
Haruka Tomatsu. Definitely posts your own thoughts on resolution down below the
song and the song animation combo.
How do go previously that?
The opening for SAO season two and one of the endings for SAO season one I especially
fucking love the Mother's Rosario opening, which is way it does pay me to say it, but
if I do want to be honest, I was at a little bit down by this new opening song only.
Let me mention that.
I have listened to several of the various Asuna character songs, this new opening thought
and a little like that.
It really finally like Haruka was focusing more on sounding like Asana.
That may be the reason why it sounded a little bit too karaoke.
Like still, let me just clarify that.
Even though I don't think is one of the top SAO songs, I still like the song.
I'm sure it's going to grow on me.
It always stones.
Anyway, getting into the actual resolution opening breakdown, I really love what follows.
You have so many key SAO characters up until this point. Kicking this off was Asuna.
The SAO girls, Liz silica Yui some of the guys, Klein and Agil and they really did
this guy wrong.
He could barely see his axe.
This is followed by Leafa on Sinon, the guild leader in disguise.
Kayaba,
Yuuki, my God, do I miss her so much. Yun and
Eiji. Getting that SAO movie tie-in Quinella and her bite-sized have Cardinal
integrity knight Alice, blonde boy Eugeo and that's it.
It does feel like someone is missing.
Who could that be?
And by the way, one of the Sao season two openings to something similar only with player
info cards.
And then last one here is Kirito with the SAO gear.
And did any of you catch this?
Someone reflect that in his eye.
Oh, the other Kirito in current state Kirito the Broken next up, the Alicization invading
title, so it looks like they're continuing on the trend.
This is actually one of the titles for SAO light novel 15 number 15 of course starting
the war of the underworld stuff.
Then for Asuna making our second appearance, you have Asuna and the goddess Stacia of design
reaching out compared to the light.
Now a version, it's the lot less pain and more white and perhaps red, which honestly
I don't mind.
It would match her SAO colors.
In fact, it looks pretty similar to the new Asuna design for the upcoming SAO game or
the perhaps Asuna us not pink all the time or not pink at all and one of the later SAO
covers I'll, it looks more white and red, so perhaps this really just changes depending
on the lighting.
Anyway, next up, Alice sleeping.
This actually almost made me think blonde Asuna and do notice at this point only one
eye open.
Naturally Alice will be sleeping without the eyepatch and my God, I really love the detail
on Alice's go within hair in the next and you actually have alleys burning, whatever
the hell she was cooking co Alice have just burnt some pancakes and do notice Alice coughing
or our mouth due to the smoke.
I do like how Alice, this is almost as counter to Asuna who's an amazing chef as herself
go coming in.
Awesome sisters bonding.
You should know that Alice had a really tough time getting used to those.
The first month she got back as her kid hit the next to the window.
Do notice it was really quick, but there was this blue bear looking over Kirito briefly.
This blue birdie is definitely a reference to the now disease blonde boy Eugeo specifically
it looks like an Eastern Bluebird and keep this little guy in mine.
He actually appears later on.
Next up, the integrity knights, the Crimson integrity knight working hard at training
the human empire army.
I like how they're conducting this right outside of Quinella's tower. As for the green dude
over here.
So I've actually seen some confusion about whether this could be Sinon.
Sure you have the hairstyle is matching and the colors are similar, but some things something
might be missing and I know what you're thinking, but it's not one of those reverse Kirito chan
situations and don't worry, Sinon definitely got her time to shine.
They'd run an SAO Alicization that'll be in the war of the underworld part two.
But back to this green hair dude, he actually looked like integrity knight Wren re you really
only have this black and white pay from the book to compare and at this point he's firing
armor.
So it's kind of hard to say exactly.
Next up, integrity knight Eldrie, taking care of some of the dragons in the same scene.
It looks like Fizel and Line are helping to, plus it looks like they might not be so loony
anymore.
Van for a split second.
Oh Whoa.
What do we have here?
Integrity knight number 12 so she has got this pretty awesome tiny but deadly weapon.
You're going gonna love seeing her in action next up.
Thick Fanatio who in Bercouli’s plays to any, as you can see his sword on the top and
his robe right next to her.
He could bet there we're playing with a difference store.
Last night you actually got this hinted at back in the battle Fanatio versus Kirito,
and can you really blame her?
I mean, my God, who doesn't want a piece of that?
Mm mm.
And you about Bercouli surprised as he, those dudes smoking out.
This must be after some fun time with the Fanatio.
So you got this guy looking at the art display from the great legend that three goddesses
battling the sinister God vector.
At this point in time, you've seen so many variations of this throughout the underworld,
including Quinella ceiling next up, the Eastern gate.
This gate right now is currently separating the human empire from the dark territory.
Unfortunately, this thing is about to come down soon.
Tic TOK between this.
You do see some monster erases the ogre slash Wolf, the mr bacon ORC, and a goblin.
Next up, Alice, you got to realizing that the real ad village is on fire.
In other words, being assaulted by the dark territory, which is something that already
happened by the end of episode one.
Next up, the dark territory general is there's 10 of them.
You've actually been teased him in the recent trailer.
First off, two human races, the Assassin's Guild and the commerce guild does is followed
by a giant and then the two goblins, the mountain one and the field one.
Then you have the Wolf guy officially known as an ogre and the ORC on the side after you
have the leader of the dark mages and to the side, this boxer slash fighter slash gladiator
guy, and then the final of the human race is on the dark territory side, the dark Knight
commander Shasta.
This is actually the dude that fanatical fought before, behind all of these guys as Gabriel
Miller with that chessboard.
Honestly, and not that subtle, although it is a perfect way to show off how these dark
territory of race as an armies are just pawns for this guy, Gabriel in this suit here really
just gives me this business vibe.
Notice in the background, those butterflies.
So you have a collector right here.
I just mentioned this as a Navi as referenced at Gabriel's backstory that's going to dive
into his obsession with the human soul and by extension Alice.
Expect Gabriel's backstory around episode three or four and also expect the possible
controversy as for Gabriel eating that chest B's, specifically the King.
So much symbolism right here.
One Gabriel himself becoming the King piece.
Two or reference that Gabriel does once he enters the Underwood three, going back to
Gabriel's obsession with us.
So you got the guy in literally devouring the standing for this soul idea right at the
Gabriel.
You have all these like cubes, more symbolism right here.
What immediate one will be on the desk caused by Gabriel during this war, which in turn
is causing all of these lights to go out.
Next up, back at the ocean turtle.
I did find that interesting.
I have Kiku here, almost serves as a parallel to Gabriel in the Sean.
Kiku has turned his back to the human empire and on the road behind him.
Plus notice you could only see the glasses not as eyes, so menacing.
You actually have Kiku munching on this Apple desert.
The guy loves his sweets.
Could this perhaps be a reference to Gabriel's infamous line?
Your sill should be so sweet before switching scenes.
You're going to get that Kayaba bind Aincrad reference in naturally.
The current underworld is what Kai bar and his VR work had been building up to.
He got himself has been linked to Chi BA for some time since the SAO incident.
Naturally you have Kayaba about turned around.
I'll just mention, you will see Kayaba in the upcoming war half.
As for the Aincrad Arc has mentioned that the SAO movie wasn't the last time.
You're going to get to see it.
Next scene, Kirito in the soul translator and us in a patiently worrying.
They're buying poor Kirito and also pour us and not having to deal with this crap.
For us it was the SAO incident than us and and losing some memories and most recently
though getting attacked and really, I love the assess here adventures, trust me, but
at this point he did those heading towards some Subaru level of suffering.
Next up.
Five guys.
Say you have a Gabriel Miller in the middle, the laughing coffin leader on the middle,
right on the middle left the hacker they brought on board and then the guys on the far ends
really just random meets shoes.
Next up, the lightcube cluster on board the ship.
So this thing right now is holding all this air.
Dozens of the Underwood.
How about you guys not blow this up up next is he gun Rinko he got both of these two hacking
away.
Nice little detail with he guy eating one of those solely PowerBars.
I personally do enjoy these bars on a regular basis.
Next up, Asuna are running into the VR world.
Us now, here's really giving this theater vibe being up in front, but don't forget about
the others.
Leafa Sinon and silica, Liz Agin and Klein who sucks and yes, freaking love Yui to bet
there's not enough UNCs in three.
This right here is definitely a reference to UES.
Important role this season.
Her reaching out capture that Alice in the middle of that becomes Alice is like cube.
This, of course having this reference to the system code, also known as a taboo index.
Then Gabriel Miller is back, so they're definitely not being stowed about him turning into God
vector, much like us, not Gabriel.
We'll be using the God Vagner account logging in from the dark territory side.
His goal and obsession is to capture ours.
Hence why you have Allianz being in the middle of all of this, focusing on Allianz.
He actually have Eugeo and Kirito.
Those hand behind her pushing her forward.
That symbolizes how both of them helped Alice in part one to reach to this point.
There'll be further feeling Alice to keep moving forward in the upcoming stuff.
Then for the actual focus on alleys, so pretty obvious Alice will get her eye back.
Sacred Magic good as new.
Thank you.
Sacred arms.
Next up, Alice writing her beloved Alma Yori, C gonna love with a shot of her overlooking
that dowses and thousands of troops down below.
Fingers crossed that they use CG sparingly.
Do notice as Alice moves out of their way.
You've got this Phoenix thing flying into the battlefield and nuking the area I'm calling
hacks.
It feels like this is emphasizing Allis entering the ban of feud.
Naturally with bind Chi, Alice could take out so many troops.
That's where the other integrity nights, you got the Crimson integrity knight to met.
This fire guy doesn't really use a helmet anymore.
Hopefully you get to see this guy blazing up too again.
Then integrity knight Eldrie, she got the guy taking the goblin, the Slayer, a title
LGS, unleashing that ultimate snake whip from the dark territory.
People that are fighting first time you have in the head of the dark majors.
You also have this Wolf guy here, also known as the ogre general.
Then one of my favorite shots, financial here, notably her wearing lipstick here, go get
him.
Seeing the shot in the opening made me feel really happy for her.
Naturally fanatic.
It's going to be spamming her laser.
She's gotten like the perfect bunk eye for this warm.
Just line these guys up, Next up Bercouli finally wearing some armor.
This shot is actually weird.
When I first saw this originally I thought that it was Bercouli versus a God vector,
but it's actually a bird Bercouli versus the dark Knight commander Shasta.
Let me re-emphasize how weird this is being shown here.
Could this be a flashback?
Next up Alice?
Oh my God is an a fate reference.
So yeah, so since they weren't already a no saber comparisons, I guess they just said
screw it for the actual scene.
Notice all around you have so many piles of bodies, goblins, dark nights.
There is a ton of death coming.
Briefly, he got the shot of Ronnie and TC, so these two will show up later on.
They're going to be mostly on the sidelines with the one important task.
Then you had the Porky pig guy holding someone, really helping that the enemy captures the
Amano loss on the dark territory sign, especially in this moment.
Then the two blades really complimenting one another and also representing you and kitty
though for a split second, you do have Kirito, SAO attire, holding both of the blades specifically
during his fight, during the quinella fight.
Keep in mind that alley should have been knocked during this quinella fight part.
Then you have Alice looking back.
Notice here, the background, it's not completely the same but it's similar to when TSA and
young Alice were trying to talk to you to perhaps Alice just has some Royal blood in
her and talking about blood.
The blood evaporating from Alice's hand.
This combined with the eyepatch being blown away.
Oh totally.
This really just signifies Alice being the key to everything.
Noticing the top right.
He can actually see Kirito’s head him in the chair.
Next scene.
Alice, fiercely walking into the dark territory this time freely and willingly or as Alice
wasn't able to do so back in the first episode in the shot noticed in the water on the lower
right reflected in the water.
Are these buildings, this is actually symbolizing the line between VR and the railroad being
blurred even more.
Alice herself being in this huge Testament to that next split second scene.
You have this almost odor looking Alice with their tree or should I say it?
The sword turning to the tree along with the two blades crossing off to the side.
Seeing these two always make me think back to Austin on Kirito’s blade in the season
when opening, but also don't forget about Leif on ketos blade from the Fairy dance arc.
Even the second SAO sees in three opening, half something similar.
Do you recall what I mentioned near the start?
The blue birdy returns this a lot of fellow sitting on top of the night sky blade, so
really Eugeo overlooking Kirito, and then the very, very end, you have all of this reflected
in Kirito's eye although at this point notice the light in Kirito’s eye.
This of course being something that we all know Kirito is eventually going to actually
wake up.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this juicy breakdown.
Go ahead and post down below your favorite detail or any of your own interpretations
for this opening down below.
Definitely check out my breakdown on the first episode.
Keep checking back for my weekly SAO videos and I'll see you guys later.
