Oh, I must be in heaven!
Such a freaking intense battle!
So what's up guys?
Foxen here! This week
Kirito and Eugeo versus integrity knights synthesis two. It looks like a new
Integrity knight
fight each week.
By the way, did you notice any changes in the opening?
I do have a full in depth breakdown on the new SAO Alicization opening.
Definitely check that out
after and don't
forget to subscribe for weekly SAO videos from a super SAO fan!
This week two wild lolis appeared.
Awww
Some super cute adorable little girls.
They only wanted to see some dark territory demons.
Funny how Quinella is using that obvious lying about Eugeo and Kirito.
These guys aren't demons.
At Least not Eugeo.
I gotta Love Kirito;s
reaction to these girls. Kirito was like, oh, not old enough.
I'll leave them to you buddy, but holy hell, that loli stab, holy crap.
That is deep.
These lolis were traps all along.
I recall reading this chapter and just being really suspicious of these two little girls.
I mean come on.
Little girls are always bad news in horror movies and an anime. Potentially sometimes
having god tier powers. Who knows they could have been the demons.
There is a slight change here from the light novel. Linel originally gave
her full name as Linel Synthesis 28 before stabbing Eugeo.
It seemed like Eugeo let his guard down and since the little swords of theirs look like
wooden practice swords to him.
As for Linel and Fizel's origin, what the hell was up with that line from her?
Oh Quinella just ordered the monks and nuns to create them. Just knowing Quinella,
I could only imagine that not being on their fun conditions.
Both of these turn out to be one of Quinella’s fun experiments.
Let's just go ahead and test the boundaries on resurrection.
What was that one line about
not doing human transmutation on the dead.
Quinella must've missed that episode, but forget about the resurrection part for a second,
just making little kids kill one another.
I mean with the anime version
this gives a deeper crap taste in my mouth.
Come on Quinella.
I'm trying not to hate you. Although do notice.
It looks like Quintanilla wasn't great at everything. You've got
the exploding
munchkin at to start.
Then this deform flesh chunk over here.
That was definitely straight out of full metal alchemist.
I do have to give the two little girl some massive credits.
They were actually clever in a way.
They figured out the correct way to be monster reborned without the monster part.
The simple solution just make your death as clean as possible.
A one hit kill.
To be honest I'm not sure whether these nasty side effects were due to Quinella's just sucking
at resurrection or just a given property of playing God with other people's fluctlights.
A fluctlight should almost immediately be destroyed when killed, so perhaps that's a
bigger part of it.
Something they didn't mention in the anime was how these girls didn't come back out
of the revive completely aok.
They often lose chunks of memories from the past few days when they respawned and then you
could just imagine how it affected their mental state. Either way at the very end only 2 remain
more Haha, but holy crap.
Both of these two girls, how to endure this non stuff daily, just killing for three years
straight.
I do wonder what made when Quinella finally say, screw it. Time for the next experiment.
I mean if you think about it this type of thing would have required Quinella to be there
onsite for the purpose of actually doing the reviving.
I could only imagine her calling a quit sooner or later for more important manners.
Like sleeping naked on her best friend.
I'm not sure to think Quinella was stupid for taking too long or for being freaking persistent.
I guess she does have time on her hands.
Something interesting that got cut out of these girls backstory.
You heard them on how they technically weren't integrity knight, but still had the Synthesis
rank in their names.
Originally they were only apprentices at the start, it was actually briefly mentioned
how these two were matched up against newbie integrity knight.
Unsurprisingly
these two girls came out on top.
I mean they had three fricking years of killing over and over.
In other words, both of these two girls simply replace the two knights they executed.
I'm just wondering how Quinella handled that situation.
Oh, these two young girls got some into replace two integrity knight.
Yeah, that's it.
Don't ask questions Bercouli or Alice.
So next time floor 50.
By the way, it was super quick, but did you notice the art of the three goddesses at the
very top?
I am loving these small details, Anyway
Say hello to integrity knight synthesis two Fanatio.
So Fanatio is second in command for all of these integrity knight, but is she really
the second strongest?
But sorry, little ladies Kirito has awoken. Kirito for the win
with that Ninja move, I did find it interesting how they didn't show you had Kirito's face
while they were moving these guys upstairs to the 50th floor.
I was a little surprised to see this girl is carrying this paralysis cure on hand.
What is this fricking pokemon? Could it be that they were actually testing this
poison on themselves?
I bet that's it. Either way
good thing the
experienced Kirito was actually suspicious of the little girls from the very start.
I'm sure that's part of the SAO experience kicking in.
Unlike the very trusting, naive Eugeo, I bet these girls reminded him of Selka
back from the village.
By the way, I do have to mention something about Kirito here.
Despite showing us SAO expertise, Kirito’s perfectly fine with just showing his back
to the other, integrity knight
Number two, plus her squad.
I guess
got to be thankful
these knight are so polite in the UnderWorld.
Anyway
now Kirito versus the knights. Fricking Fanatio
wasted no time going into her.
Shikai form.
Does this second in command integrity knight really need to go all out with that much
power or did she really just wanted liquify Kirito
quickly?
Either way Kirito was quickly turning into Swiss cheese.
Kirito's first attempt to smash her only resulted in that broken wing on her helmet.
Great job, buddy.
As for the heaven piercing blade's origins
so nice to spill this information to an enemy without though even asking for it.
I'm not sure if Kirito would have thought about using a mirror if she didn't say anything,
but anyway, this divine object was one of Quinella’s little experiments.
She used a whole ton of mirrors just to abuse the power of the sun
Goddess. Pretty much creating this weapon that could use solar beam none
stop..
What the hell I'm calling hacks! Mot mentioned in the anime was how this in reality was this
an abandoned experiment by Quinella. Preparations for all of these mirrors to use as a weapon
took way too long.
Quinella really didn't want all these 1k glasses to go to waste so she made this
divine weapon.
See Quinella isn't all bad.
She recycles!
As for a Kirito's counterattack mirror, mirror on the wall, please reveal who's the
fairest of them all.
Aww too bad that mirror quickly melted almost immediately.
Something not mentioned in the anime is how it’s actually pretty easy to create
these objects like mirrors are knives using the lower tier elements, sacred arts however,
the life and these things isn't comparable to the true thing.
They only last a couple of hours at most. Anyway getting into Fanatio's grand reveal.
Oh, she's a lady, but more importantly, insecure about being female.
I was really curious to see how this will be portrayed in the anime version.
I mean, she was freaking pissed the hell off.
That's how you know
You fucked up Kirito.
Even Asuna didn't prepare you for this rage.
I actually don't recall how many of the integrity and I didn't know about her being female.
The two little girls here definitely didn't
On the other hand, the top knight Bercouli definitely knew, and I'm sure Alice knew
too and probably some of her knights squad. Unfortunately not shown in the anime were the reaction of
her knights finding out that she has this beautiful lady face.
By the way, here's the second thing not mentioned about something regarding the dark
knight in her flashback. That was actually a commander of the dark knights.
I'm just loving the little hints being dropped.
As for Kirito's
thoughts on this
It turns out he is all about gender equality.
Like a certain other isekai protagonist.
Kirito mentioned something about losing two females in the past, most recently totally
Liena senpai, but Kirito has also been pushed to his limits against Asuna in SAO.
Of course that match up not shown in the anime. As for Fanatio's little memory here
that was the top knight Bercouli.
The sad part about this is that she does have a thing for him, but her feelings haven't
been returned and that's saying even after she tried to pretty herself up to get his
attention.
Like I said, I'm actually feeling bad for her about 100 plus years of waiting for that
special
Someone to notice you but no luck.
Anyway something new
revealed this episode or should I say unleashed this episode the Divine Sword
Release recollection. Pretty much an integrity knight’s Bankai. Unfortunately
for her dumbass
that was pretty much a suicidal move. The heaven piercing sword will penetrate
anyone would our discrimination.
Thankfully you did have the Eugeo to the rescue with his own blue rose shikai. The
enhanced armament
So yeah
Eugeo’s technique focuses more on stopping the
opponent, literally freezing them into place, which is pretty appropriate.
Better get that ready to use on the Alice.
I was really curious to see how the blizzard move would look in the anime.
I only pictured more vines and roses on the ice
freezing the knights.
As for Eugeo’s screaming out that these knights don't know what justice is.
Let me add a little context to this. Eugeo had been thinking that these knights were just the
worst and outright hating them for what they did for poor Alice, but now he just finding
out just how human these integrity knights actually are. Despite that Eugeo can't bring
himself to actually think that these knights are being in the right, which led to you just
screaming out that line about them not being just.
In other words, Eugeo is very much conflict that over his thoughts on these integrity knights.
Oh, and about that cliff hanger
Perfect.
Perfect
way To end this episode.
You got Kirito
busting out his own shikai.
I mean enhanced armament or perfect weapon control.
Just take your pick!
By the way, here's a little something so you're not disappointed next week.
I've seen that a lot of you mentioning or hoping that Kirito's shikai or Bankai is him
dual Welding.
Let me just confirm that it's not.
If you really want to know, ask down below but definitely don't get your hopes up for
something that's not coming next week.
Overall I think this episode was nearly perfect.
Pretty new damn perfect adaptation from the novel to the anime.
Although this episode really got me thinking.
It especially made me wish that they took an extra episode or two just to flesh out
some of the earlier stuff.
I mean just cause every single thing that is coming now is based on this initial foundation.
I really only wish they gave some of the earlier stuff more room to breathe.
For me it just seemed like a simple problem that could have easily been fixed, but we'll
see how it comes out.
At the very least they should have considered doing something like ReZero.
The situation for SAO Alicization and ReZero are super similar.
I mean a lot of stuff was cut out or heavily abridged for the ReZero anime.
On the other hand, ReZero did have these simple anime short specials at the end.
They went ahead and explain some of the deeper stuff about the world, like magic, the government
system or elements that couldn't be fit into the actual episode.
Hopefully they do something similar for the bluray.
The first one is coming out soon.
Next up, let's talk about the opening that got an upgrade.
It is only a couple of changes that aren't too drastic, so I don't think it needs his
own video.
To start those off
at the beginning, you got this new UI during Kirito and Eugeo's intro.
It also now says ‘Alicization Rising’ which was the reference to the light
novel name, which is them literally rising through the Axiom church tower. Next up for
the Kirito slash at the blazing integrity knight. The opening got upgraded to a Kirito
using a sword skill instead of a regular slash. For a completely new scene
you have Eugeo versus Bercouli.
Fricking awesome!
It looks like they heard my complaints about no Bercouli in the opening.
They went ahead and replace that weird
shot of Eugeo and Kirito in the academy apprentice uniforms.
Of course this is foreshadowing the upcoming Bercouli fight.
I mean just seeing this preview in the bath is getting me super hyped.
Please, please do Bercouli some justice.
The guy's pretty awesome.
Next up Quinella!
So now she's looking a lot more evil and that bloodbath.
I'm glad that they touched up this original scene
since the
original
felt like it was missing some detail.
And now for the final major change is just all the images
overlayed with the raging bloody Kirito. You now have solid shots of
Quinella on the bed
and bed of skulls unlike beforehand.
Oh, Quinella please make me your knight!
Same thing for the cubes.
Although that is definitely not as interesting as a wicked Quinella. By the way
really quickly, I do have a full breakdown on the new opening that is out now.
Definitely check that ou
next.
I didn't include a major spoiler section at the end of the video
for those of you that want to know more about what's coming up. As for some of the light now,
novel changes for the anime this episode not much changed or cut out.
It was mostly small but interesting details.
First Office Eugeo getting stabbed by that poisoned dagger. Eugeo at this moment thought
about how he could cure poison
although he didn't know how to cure poison that was prepared for battle usage, you know,
since venom was prohibited in battles.
Next up Kirito versus the second in command integrity knight.
Something mentioned in the novel was how.
this marvel used to construct the tower was of the highest grade.
It basically meant you couldn't destroy it or melted no matter how hard he got the temperature.
For example, if you think back to the previous episode in the fight, the carpet on the ground
melted, but that blazing fire didn't do any damage to the surrounding area.
Now look back at this one.
Just the power of that heaven piercing sword was actually damaging the area.
In other words, she was very much stronger.
Now for the last little detail about their fight, Eugeo noted that there's integrity
knight versus Kirito in the fight meant that both of their swords should have been losing
life. Assuming that both of their divine swords were on equal level in a stalemate.
Kirito's
swords would come out on top since it was thicker and heavier, but anyway
Let me hear from you now!
Question of the day, how awesome would this week's integrity knight battle?
Was it better than last week's fight?
I think last week's fight
definitely look visually better and are you hyped to see next week?
Anyway be sure to smash that
