Goddess Stacia Asuna has finally arrived oh yes it's time for Asuna to kick some
butt. Gabriel just long out now so what's up guys Foxen here!
SAO Alicization War the underworld episode nine. three more. At last Asuna Stacia
has arrived plus a quick appetizer fight. Since you're awesome go ahead and hit
that like ring the bell and let's dive into this episode. At the very beginning
you have the god vector aka Gabriel mentioning Alicia Alice. Last episode
some of you were confused about this. Could Alice actually be Alicia
reincarnated? Let me just clarify this there's actually not too complicated.
Gabriel is simply freakin insane I mean I know
Alicia and young Alice look kind of similar but no relation. This episode you
had a very nice surprise any changes for the SAO war of the
underworld opening. Midway through those he actually now have Asuna
into her god Stacia account oh but am I forgetting about something
they also showed goddess Leafa and Goddess Sinon yes I've already revealed
that aka spoiled it they will be using the goddess terraria account and the
goddess Solus* account. Both of them are on the cover for SAO light novel
17. As for other changes you got the addition of integrity Knight Renly,
Scheta, and uncle Bercouli fighting it off. For
a scene change you got Alice teaming up with goddess
Asuna taking on vector. So it has been a while since I read SAO light novel 18
so don't quote me on those but I really don't recall this type of scene
happening definitely not this team-up combat scenario. I'll touch on this a
little bit later and don't forget Kirito previously this Kirito shot was
during the Quinella fight now you got Kirito on the dark territory side oh my
god I would say spoiler but more like very obvious upcoming stuff. Don't worry
Kirito will wake up eventually. Anyway getting into Alice and Bercouli's
plan that's now it's in motion working as expected
so a quick war update the dark territory side is down to about half of their
troops you still got all the boxer guys and the dark knights untouched at this
point. How about nuking those guys too. Right
here I did like Bercouli bringing up the possible peace option that is if they
could take enough of them out so freakin awesome
funnily a mention of Shasta even though they they cut out that last Bercouli
scene of Bercouli sensing Shasta's last moment. Cut out here from the SAO
anime was them doubting whether the new dark
knight leader would have inherited Shasta's mindset. Then a nice little moment with
Renly Bercouli now admiring the young
intergrity knight. What a change for Renly Alice also brought up how Quinella is
damning ritual shouldn't be a requirement for an integrity knight I
like the touch of Alice touching Eldrie's remaining whip hmm very subtle
foreshadowing here? Anyway next interruption yes a pugilist were
definitely outrunning the Dark Knight's on their freakin horses. Bercouli
hinted this our territory race has trained their bodies to the absolute
limit. They use incarnation to power themselves up to the point of being able
to outrun horses, making their bodies as strong as steel to stop blades and
easily smash boulders. Their only weakness ironically that happens to be
magic what is this freakin pokemon? Psychic
I mean sacred arts is super effective! this is partly since there's really not
much of a chance for them to train against sacred magic in the dark
territory side. Cut out from the SAO anime was actually a funny scene Bercouli
happened to suggest to Alice, hey how about stripping down you know since
armor and clothing would be useless versus these guys. In fact it would only
slow you down. Then welcoming Scheta girl funny how even freaking Bercouli
was scared of her. It is debatable whether this guy was afraid of her or
more like creeped out by her. She's known as Scheta the Silent which almost never
talks so let me just put it out there I've always been a fan of her role in SAO
Alicization. I've always got this Claymore vibe from her. Come on Claymore reboot
one day. Getting into Scheta versus Iskahn I mentioned before how
always got this Rocklew vibe from him and prompts to the voice actor picked
out from him. Same thing for Yotta she's even a fang
girl too. My god I wouldn't ask for a figure for her but
that's not gonna happen. but holy damn they did it they actually
did it no holding back at all for poor Yotta
getting sliced like a hot knife through butter. Your arm is gone. For Scheta's
backstory here at this point I'm just glad they included something. Quinella
really just put it out there for the anime. Scheta has this obsession with
slashing which was something that confused even Scheta herself. In the
anime that she fast forward to it Scheta had already retrieved the flower that
quinella requested you had the divine black Lily sword being born a sword that
could cut through anything. To me really felt like Quinella was
screwing around with Scheta with that BS.
Oh your curse may be broken what a load of nonsense and yes there is a good
chunk more to Scheta that I'll come back to. Anyway getting into Scheta's
carnage so many limbs shredded on this day by her and oh yes they definitely
kept it in the anime. Bercouli here hinted at something pretty
important. Quinella claimed that it was it murderous intent from Scheta but
actually that was in the case. Scheta simply loved slicing away killing was
not a priority. Switching to Vassago making his move. I'm
actually glad that they kept the scene of Vassago going off to join the fun
just showing this post already having done the action. Take a notice of Gabriel
right here this trained veteran correctly predicted where Bercouli and his friends
would move towards. By the way Vassago's random English
always makes me smile. Anyone else? Anyway back to ishkan
joining the brawl or should I say one-sided Massacre? My god Scheta is a
frakking boss actually attempting to stop mister one punch here with her hand
in hindsight not the best of ideas. Then for Scheta's literal small talk here
I did bring up that Claymore vibe from her. The SAO anime definitely double
down on that for me with that soft voice and her being this lady of a few
words. Fun remark out of her about ishkan gun being ultra hard for her. In fact Scheta
was always looking for the perfect place on a body to slice it up.
Important note right here Scheta actually had no intention of killing
them. Then for the Burning ishkan blaze it up just some gorgeous animation right
here. I do hope you'll see something similar for the upcoming scenes for Asuna
and some other people for the final episodes. Man ishkan really wanting to
strip this girl hmm didn't you just get soft? I mean with her stripping down
shouldn't it be the opposite? Then for the black lily sword versus his ultra
hard fist match turns out that these two warriors despite being born on opposite
ends of the underworld despite achieving different masteries
Scheta and ishkan are very much alike so really have to get props to the SAO
anime. Really what an amazing realization for both of these give me more. Too bad
though another frakking interruption you got Tristan over here with that
tackle assist and don't ask me why this guy reminded me of abridged Tristan. You
even have a badass go from Scheta. sorry my lift dragon is
here better luck in round two. For something cut out for the SAO anime
Iskahn actually pondered for a moment perhaps that might captured the
so-called light priestess maybe then I could ask Vector to spare this woman and
yes he did think it was a crazy thought. Switching over to Vassago
oh the little Ronie has grown both of these two girls didn't get much versus a
goblins but I'll take this Ronie really learned from our Kirito senpai she even
blocked for a fair amount to thanks to Vassago here Bercouli and Alice got
this wrench thrown into their little plan time to split off the teams Bercouli
and male Sinon could handle this spot. Slice go over there and help them
go over there and time to meet a certain somebody. Let's get into it that very
special moment you've all been waiting for it goddess Stacia Asuna under all day
view this whole thing definitely put a smile on my face
about time Asuna talk about being super overpowered and yes let me just mention
Asuna does have some restrictions I do question how they will portray us in the
anime let me know down below how high are you for Asuna making your underworld
a view so talk about a cliffhanger I think the anime might take this top
spot for cliffhangers in anime this year overall for this week's episode what
plus ultra kick-ass episode absolutely loved how shed versus east
gun was handled come on figures when talking about figures what a banging
cliffhanger with Asuna god mode revealed at the rate they been going I
actually almost didn't expect to see Asuna until the next episode and you know
how much I just adore Asuna I love the additions for the opening
although I do think they might be hyping up something that won't actually really
happen then again I do think sao has more flexibility for the anime fights
now fingers crossed educate this up not only for their SAO Alicization finale
but the mid-season finale coming up and except getting it to the lineup changes
going into the SAO anime some highlights cut out needed the star was
Alice actually recalling back to Eldrie you did see Alice holding Eldrie's whip
tightly in the SAO light novel they actually highlighted there's a few times some
of you guys have asked whether Alice has some emotional feelings chores eldery
could Alice and Eldrie have been a thing? Recall that Eldrie had served under Alice
Alice being his mentor that alone would have put this huge emotional scar on
Alice after losing elm tree as to whether something
they could have been possible Eldrie's feelings on the matter were clear
however Alice from the only just started to open up post quinella I do
think the foundations were there unfortunately there just wasn't enough
time for something to blossom especially now with Eldrie being gone and except
something else from Alice when she was with Bercouli before Renly arrived
Alice actually has some thoughts regarding the god vector Gabriel when
she announced herself to the dark territory forces Alice felt something
dark he compared it to Quinella. Quinella's true dark nature felt like this
lightning strike on the other hand the god vector presence felt more like this
endless dark void. Next up Scheta's backstory a quick overview Scheta was known
as jetta the silent this was due to her avoiding conversation with the other
integrity Knights shed the fear that if she was challenged by one of them she
would end up killing them which was actually why she lived in Quinella's
tower for over a hundred years without saying a peep like some of the nice shed
I actually ended up winning the for Empire unification tournament the juicy
bit here was at that particular tournament had to be erased from history
Scheta ended up killing every single one of her opponents fast word to quinella
taking an interest in chateau a great final war had just taken place on the
dark territory side quinella order Scheta to go to that battlefield and find
a remaining living item this living being would absorb the sacred power from
that tragedy Scheta searched for three days and nights eventually finding this
black Lily that you saw the following year Scheta was challenged to a duel
by another integrity night you won't be surprised to find out the result Scheta
ended up killing the poor fool after that Scheta requested quinella
to put her on deep freeze and by the way it really quickly my top upcoming anime
for 2020 is coming soon along with the best anime for this year 2019 can you
just take a guess at which anime made my list but more important in post 2000
