don't worry guys Alice and Asuna got this wait yo u're calling over a hundred
thousand American players? We're gonna need some dual blade stat. So what's up
guys Foxen here SAO Alicization war of the underworld
episode 11 final episode next week. Just when you thought things were going whoa
after Asuna I arrived so if you're awesome go ahead and smash out like ring
the bell and let's dive into this juicy episode kicking this off for a little
late night drink day between Quinella and Bercouli. Even more fun topic at
hand one's own death and I really just eat stuff like this up not only fleshing
out Bercouli's background but also Quinella in the process - too bad -
Quinella didn't give Bercouli the royal treatment not on this night. Their little
scene sure speaks volumes to the super-crispy ex ruler. I mean how frickin
insecure can you possibly get? You think someone eventually will rise
against you taboo index created. Despite that you still had this person
who was constantly trying to control everything in this state of fear over my
status someone wants to replace me on the flip side this brief Quinella cameo
actually did hint at the shred of humanity remaining at the time and can you
blame her? Quinella had no one which is why this lonely grandma had to turn to Bercouli
for some chatter. As for Bercouli here from a jug of whiskey now to
wine. I'm liking that he's quite the drinker props also to the anime to not
cutting out this fun Bercouli habit sorry Alice and Eldrie. Fastforword to present
day just gonna love Bercouli smiling at that thought. A man who smiles in the
face of death and I was definitely getting more that Kirito vibe that I
mentioned but if you want to compare it to a different anime it actually reminds
me of that giant fellow from Vinland saga so really loved how the anime
portrayed this little Quinella dream. For some of the cut detail keep in mind
this meeting between them was over 150 years ago. Bercouli here also has the
ability to know the exact time. He woke up at 4:20 exactly next up the intro
updated now SAO awakening which is actually the Title of SAO light novel 17
AKA the stuff this episode now dives into mmm SAO awakening what could that
mean i wonder? By the way the Asuna song opening definitely has grown vastly on
me so hell yeah finally a karaoke song i could actually do although don't mind
the sound that's a completely different ballgame. Fun fact here the title cards
for each episode keep on getting a more steady key by the episode mmm
is that a grim foreshadowing? Anyway post Kirito themed slumber party this
turned out not to be that Kirito recap episode that some of you feared
but just time for some early breakfast Chow before often some more dark
territory mofos. Oh Kirito you're looking better it
just happened to be on the Morning Post Asuna's return. Come on Asuna gift
Kirito some of your lovely healing home cooking morning Asuna has
some interesting food for donned if the underworld was going at 1,000
times of speed that would mean she would have to eat a thousand times the normal
amount in the same time period hopefully she went to gain some extra pounds from
that then for that awkward joke sure Alice. Kirito being that Christmas
ornament surely helped although Kirito definitely didn't look impressed
by event I do like us and actually being the one sleeping I keep those side in
the anime that's right Alice on the floor like the bee you are see this is
why I don't like this stuff in the a/c or anime it's almost turning you against
this great character that you loved for such a long time now lovely touch with
that Asuna blush by the way a bit surprised no goddess Asuna PJ mode merch
has been announced yet switching to the dark territory side these melee guys
were up awfully early I was almost afraid they were gonna cut out Gabriel
just forcing his order down East Khan's throat keep in mind none of the dark
territory guys could disobey power you had their whole clan training from
childhood to become these hardened warriors but now or their brand a third
of them are gonna die not in battle but falling down a freaking hole definitely
not an honorable way to go or as east can put in lower than a dunks dev and I
really do have to get further props through this episode with all the
incoming integrity Knights on top of Ishakn's cry out to his people it
almost felt like Bercouli Alice and the other integrity Knights were the
villains of this story which has been true to some extent for the dark
territory point of view I mean even Sheta didn't hold back any longer she
was making some very nice shredded taco meat right here notice closely on Ishakn's
face doesn't that red glow look awfully familiar the dark territory
doesn't have this explicit taboo index but they are bound by a similar
principle everyone on the dark territory side has to obey the most powerful ruler
currently that just happens to be Emperor vector and speaking about
Gabriel oh yes a conniving guy has something cut up with Critter oh ho no
let me welcome you to the most amazing English you've ever heard in an anime my
god I couldn't stop laughing and I'm sure they weren't going for that come on
guys get some actual native people to do these lines hell I do it for free I mean
I've already been to the studio before so just give me a call next time let me
be the chubby dude with the blonde did you notice in these messages some guy
was asking the top important question not about the waifu's but can you become
the waifu. Switching it back to the room with the two more bodies Asuna's phone
here must be close to dying that thing was working overtime.
oh yes Yui is back thankfully Yui took notice of the incoming danger tying to
get the SAO gang back together I was actually pleasantly surprised to see a
sheen on a leaf on the preview are for this week's episode like holy hell the
SAO anime already got to this point don't worry guys like they're hinting in
the opening update reinforcements are coming up
but will they be enough anyway switching it back to RATH screwing up was it he
guess fault or Kiku's turn to fry. I mean no one notices the underworld
acceleration being turned back to normal speed great job guys but who knows maybe
they're just super sleep-deprived either way yes yes Sinon and Leafa have
arrived there's only two so translators left no
more. Switching it to the SAO group in Aincrad so does everyone just happen
to have access to Asuna's place I'm guessing that Yui has key access. This
whole scene actually reminded me of the entire update from Asuna back and alpha
now online since the anime did add that new Asuna seen Lisa has already got
updated early on the whole Kirito situation which now helps to speed this
up a lot I'm not sure if it's been explicitly said or change for the anime
but the NSA was originally the one involved in the secret operation
associated with Gabriel's contracting company and really what an amazing Yui
moment here she made an excellent point from the initialization of the first VR
world to the whole SAO death game it has all that up to the birth the balance
and I'll just say I enjoyed this whole little visual trip down memory lane no
surprise that Yui unfortunately didn't mention little Yuuki here and hopefully
you can't combine the UN on the background to so key info time client
here gave a minimum 30,000 player estimate but that could easily balloon
into the hundreds of thousands client was like on second thought I must
at this one out a go here had the point of all dude is 4:30 a.m. in Japan
afternoon in the US? GG man. We're done for you better hope there's a ton of
Japanese early birds or Japanese businessmen who know nil asleep Mex up
lives giving her State of the Union or rather underworld take notice of the
three territory leaders present thankfully these hardcore guys happen to
be online to rally up the troops even Cat Alicia was there but her tell her to
use a nickname in this mission also known as Yuuki's guild in the crowd
minus one purple girl for Sakuya here Oh Kirito that VR addicted boy hasn't
logged in for 10 whole days stop right there
say no more this is definitely a gun level threat then for Less getting into
more the details of the upcoming risk for volunteers first off the only way to
logout from the underworld is to die no logout sound familiar
oh don't mind me here in the back just my SAO PTSD kicking in but more
important the underworld has no pain absorbers time for some real pain any
pain in the Underworld could potentially be worse than anything in
real life in real life you would either pass out or just die after a certain
pain threshold not true in the underworld and three a piece of detail I
just love to win reading this years back there are high stakes for everyone
involved here definitely don't die otherwise your
years of progress in VR will be snapped away in an instant goddamn I would just
hate to be in that hot seat right about now poor lives she wasn't exactly
selling this on the road recruitment - well I do have to get props to there so
guys for being honest they could have easily skipped out on these minor
details of course you had to have that one a-hole that just had to throw out
the SAO Survivor card all of the SAO survivors secretly look down on everyone
of us normal VR guys I mean hell insecure can you possibly be I'm sensing
a little projection here thankfully all of this led up to a very strong moment
from Liz I think a lot better than the light novel Liz brings up the constant
issue that SAO survivors faced in real life posed as a yo the true reality
of their daily lives the Japanese government pretty much sees
an SAO survivor as a potential threat in other words a ticking time bomb here I
was really over the moon scene Liz's top moment combined with Lisa's and song
such a powerful message at least for us anime viewers Liz here made the
excellent point of what has been true for kirito and Asuna since the SAO days
actually a living in VR VR for them isn't just some place you visit no you
live and breathe VR post sao this way of looking at VR has become much more
common in the current SAO world which honestly no surprise VR is everywhere I
mean for you and me it might be a little different to relate a much closer for
example for us would be gaming in general or how about our slice of life
anime nope don't just watch anime you want to breathe and live anime the
cherry on top for me here was there a little bow and pleat at the end it just
screamed out totally Japanese of them I would really love to applaud Liz's
speech I'll be honest it didn't give me soaked in tears but it got my eyes a bit
wet did you notice a mysterious person in the crowd could that be Yoona as a
little pixie and then of course next to her Eiji keep in mind that Angie is
still around Eiji has been involved in some events
post SAO Alicization so if they're back I'm a hundred percent on board with this
but come on don't just teasers if you're gonna do it is actually give them a
scene during the actual war coming up but hold up a moment this wouldn't be
SAO Season 3 if it didn't come with that lovely cliffhanger I only wish they
showed the final shot for a few more seconds
Asuna Alice Bercouli ready for round 2 tens of thousands buffed up red Dark
Knight's have showed up dun dun dun I was actually half expecting this to be
the mid-season finale post this episode I freakin love Liz's speech so much it
really SAO season 3 episodes like this one that makes me wish the entire SAO
arc was adapted in this manner so just a few days ago I was actually having
drinks with someone who has much more influence in the anime realm than any to
hear the topic of SAO came up it really is a shame that SAO season 3 was only
given around 50 episodes to be adapted in I gave out a rough estimate if they
wanted to fully adapt Sao well they'd have to do it more like a shounen anime
think Naruto or currently my hero academia. Naturally the pace would take a heavy
hit but you would get more out of every character perhaps overall more impactful
moments naturally some things would be over explained further
you would maybe have to double the SAO season three episode count or at least
add another 24 episodes and yes I am a war how the first segment sounds only 50
episodes there's so much other anime that struggles to get more than a 12
episode season next up getting into the line over to SAO anime changes some
highlights thankfully today very little slice down first off Bercouli
As the guy was waking up he has some morning thoughts. He thought about how he
was now the oldest human in the underworld. He now felt like he could
understand what Quinella was talking about in the past
Bercouli realized that Quinella was searching for this death that she could
accept one needs a fitting death you'd had to find an opponent so powerful that
you'd be struggling to get victory Bercouli holy now felt he could relate next up
Alice Alice actually has some quick self-reflection before charting into the
fight I was thought back to the other day when she melted the dark territory
forces after that Alice now felt that she had no right to an honorable battle
all that was left was to find was her plus ultra self next up some more
details regarding the whole American invasion
I think they justifiably simplified the whole American MMO recruitment in the
current world the US had heavy vr regulations partly due to extremist
measures due to this there was a heavy crackdown on VR violence if he wanted to
make a game with a lot of blood or any damage to limbs or body you'd have to
heavily change your game oh you're not slicing up people but big as bugs
instead this whole state of affair had American VR users pretty pissed off
which are something that gave your own credit took advantage of then for
something a little bit more personal just a quick tidbit for me regarding the
SAO episode breakdowns keep in mind I do live in Japan the sad part about this
when it comes to covering SAO or anime in general is a super late release time
for SAO that's around midnight so since SAO season 3 has begun i've
been getting up around 3 to 4 a.m. every sunday for me just to start working on
