oh that cliffhanger! What exactly happened to Kirito in the latest SAO
Alicization episode? Did Kirito's brain damage get even worse? So what's up guys
Foxen here actually had a different SAO video planned for today but I'm getting
so many questions what just happened to Kirito why is
the ocean turtle being attacked? Did Asuna just show up there at the very end
to help out? Before we get started be sure to smash that thumbs up and
subscribe! You'll also help our SAO fans find these videos. Also just a little
bit of a disclaimer obviously this video is gonna have major spoilers here
although at the same time a lot of this stuff is intentionally vague partly just
since it's been a while since I read the next four light novels. If you dot want
to know any spoiler not mention in this video just go ahead and post down below!
Please please please just be specific about it tell me exactly what you want
to know. If you say something like give me all the spoilers I really can't do
anything with that. Anyway let's go ahead and get started so at the end of the
previous episode you had all this gunfire the ocean turtle being attacked so
what's going on here? It turns out that the US wants Japan's AI technology
specifically the NSA. The NSA actually contracted this assault team led
by this guy named Gabriel. Ultimately they specifically want to get their
hands on Alice. The win condition for them is to capture Alice in the
underworld then inject into this cube container and finally haul ass back
into the US. keep in mind that these guys are armed and allowed to kill anyone on
board the ocean turtle to achieve their goal. Next up what exactly is going on
with Kirito? What happened? If you recall Kirito was actually hooked up to
the soul translator to help heal his brain damage. At least that was the abridged
version. Suddenly you have these guys raiding the ocean turtle and turning off
the power so what happened? Thankfully the power got restored in time or
should I say backup power? And thankfully no additional brain damage to
Kirito but let's just say Kirito's Fluctlight did get damaged. This
unfortunately it does put Kirito in this coma potato state within the
Underworld. A little bit later you do see Kirito in this wheelchair most of
the time unable to speak. Kirito really only clings on to the
night-sky blade and the shattered blue rose sword.
So yeah it's Kirito will be like this for most of the upcoming sao anime
this really gives the spotlight to everyone else even though technically
Kirito's gonna be throughout most of the anime. If you really want to know how
long Kirito is in the state post down below for the spoiler. Just be specific
so all this time Alice was actually the one taking care of Kirito for
around half a year. They go ahead and return to the Rulid village but
actually live outside it and I know what you're thinking
technically Alice has been sleeping with potato Kirito for half a year. This would
definitely make some SAO people scream that Kirito was cheating on Asuna. As
for what exactly is going on with Alice specifically this is integrity knight
Alice. If you recall young Alice was killed in the most recent episode 24.
The only thing that really remains is just the knight self. Alice herself
still remains with eye patch for a good while longer and for them returning to
the Rulid village let's just say that the Rulid people aren't too welcoming of
Alice when she first shows up back there. As for the actual state of the
underworld six months later Bercouli is now the leader of the Knights
technically. Bercouli is in charge of the human Empire. All the integrity Knights
got told what happened and they really aren't too happy with Kirito. A
good chunk of them actually wanted to execute him. Thankfully right now
integrity knight Alice is serving as his personal bodyguard. As for the rest of
the general human Empire all of them really think that Quinella and axiom
Church is in power in other words for them no real difference.
Next up let me bring up Asuna. When is she going into the Underworld? You
actually saw Asuna there at the end but that was really just Kirito
seeing stuff or his imagination. Asuna will go into the Underwolrd just not
yet. I actually did a whole video on Asuna going into the Underwolrd let me
bring it back up here. Asuna will in fact going to the underworld using the
sword translator next to Kirito. She will be using the god Stacia account so
yes Asuna will be helping out in the war and also helping out Kirito. Let's
just say that Asuna's gonna help heal him. As to when exactly Asuna is gonna log
into the underworld that doesn't happen until the second of the next four light
novels so expect Asuna around episode eight to ten depending on how fast they
actually do it in the anime. Next up let me mention the other two girls going
into the underworld. The other two god accounts will be taking by Leafa and Sinon.
Recall all the previous underworld art hinting at this? Both of these girls will
be logging from the Roppongi hill back in Tokyo. Let me also just mentioned
the Leafa is gonna make bacon her best buddy. That's gonna be fun! Anyway
switching it back up to the ocean turtle attack so who's gonna be the main
villain now that Quinella is gone? You really have two main guys. First off you
have PoH also known as The Laughing coffin leader so yes laughing coffin is
coming back and this guy specifically has this deep obsession
Kirito. They hinted more about this in a novel but unfortunately a lot of
this stuff didn't make it into the season one anime. For PoH specifically
you will find out more about this guy in upcoming SAO Alicization anime. I
got a feeling they're gonna have to bring some of the stuff back. As for the
second guy you have the guy leading the assault mission Gabriel Miller. This was
actually the guy Sinon mentioned in the SAO Alicization episode 1
who won the last Bullet of Bullets tournament. This guy is actually gonna login to the
on the Underworld using the god Vecta account. Keep in mind that this God Vecta
pretty much the ruler of the Dark Territory. Both of these guys pretty much just use
the dark territory races and soldiers as their personal pawns to retrieve Alice
so yes the big human Empire versus Dark territory war is coming. For the human
Empire you have around 5,000 soldiers and over on the other side about
50,000 so pretty fair but getting back to both of these antagonists. Let's just
see how much they flesh out PoH and Gabriel in the anime version. Both of
these guys are let's just say off in their unique ways. So far personally
really enjoyed the job they did with Quinella. In fact anime Quinella in
comparison feels like such a much better antagonist in comparison to these guys
but let's see what happens. And talking about Quinella let me actually mention
this. Quinella is actually dead I know some of you were confused about the line
Quinella just mentioning see you on the other side. This got some of you thinking
that she's a human in real life that was about to log off. This is actually not
the case. Quinella was born in the underworld. Quinella was really just
trying to escape into the interwebs. Unfortunately in the clown stopped that
for her. Anyway getting into the war of the underworld so before this whole
assault thing was coming you actually had this barrier separating the human Empire
and Dark territory. At the point of the six months time skip this wall
separating the two was about to crack and I really hope they do flesh these
guys out in the anime version. It's not really meant to be a black and white
issue especially for the various races living on the dark territory side. If
anything they were also some dark territory leaders that were actually
considering peace talks with the human Empire.
Unfortunately that option got completely killed off as soon as the god Vecta
showed up. As for the actual human Empire versus the dark territory let me get
into the juicy details of this. So the human Empire at beginning takes the
advantage. This really means Gabriel and the assault team to user hacker to slow down on
the Underworld to match in real life speeds. They then actually
connect the Korean Chinese and US servers directly into the underworld.
They use their ultra hacking skills to spam websites about this upcoming beta vr
world which really just leads into thousands and thousands of soldiers
logging into the underworld using dark soldier accounts which are pretty much
as free meat shields and warriors for the dark territory side. For the Asian player
side I actually recall them being pissed off since the Japanese were supposedly
keeping the latest VR games and tech for themselves.
And then the u.s. players really just wanted to kill stuff. I got a feeling
they're gonna be changing some of this stuff about the Korean and Chinese
players versus Japan stuff especially since SAO is extremely popular over here
in Asia. Next up switching it over to the other side if I recall correctly Yui
and Rath also do the same for the Japanese players. You got everyone from
how from Alfheim online coming over this includes the girlfriendless Klein Liz
Silica and a bunch of others. I imagine it being very similar to the end of the
SAO movie scene. Unfortunately all these guys are
converted to their accounts over for anything they lost in this war that's
gonna be permanently destroyed or lost. Also these guys have no idea how intense
the pain feels in the underworld. Next up let me briefly mention Kayaba.
Kayaba will be making a brief return. Let's just say that he's not
gonna have that much of a major role but his appearance does help flesh them out
some more. Some of the kind of buff stuff here is really just setting up some of
the stuff for the last SAO Arc SAO Unital Ring. Next up let me quickly
mention something about Eugeo. Let me just re emphasise that unfortunately
Eugeo is gone forever. Eugeo's fluctlight actually got destroyed
the moment is his HP hit zero however that being say let me just say that Eugeo's
presence will be felt for the next sao half. You could also just imagine how
other characters like Tiese and Ronnie will take the news of Eugeo's passing. Same
things for Selka back at the Rulid village. Next up let me quickly mention
something about the upcoming fights so you do have the human territory versus
the dark territory in other words the integrity Knights versus whatever is on
the other side. So for these fights I do believe is gonna
give the studio more freedom in other words more clashing and all that good
stuff from season 1 & 2 although let me also just mention that hopefully you're
not watching Sao only for the fights because to be honest SAO has never been
about the fights. They've always been pretty short anyway.
And Talking about those fights the human Empire has back have been getting ready
by Bercouli and the other knights for half a year. You're gonna see all the returning
integrity knights including some new ones and also some other Academy people like
Liena Senpai and of course the junior students like Ronie and Tiese. Getting
into the grand conflict of course this is ultimately gonna involve Alice.
I'm just oversimplifying in you do have two parties trying to get to Alice. You
got the invading assault team in the main control area meanwhile you have
Kiku and the Rath guys in the side control area logged inside so one
battles taking place in the Underworld meanwhile the guys with guns are trying
to break inside of the other area and yes at one point Asuna and Alice will
meet inside of the underworld. Once again the stakes are raised and the
situation becomes much more complex. I actually have to really applaud Reki
for mixing so many things together and making it blend so nicely somehow
although I just mentioned that I do have my own laundry list of stuff that I hope
they do fix or change for the anime version. I may get into that stuff in
another video and then for Kirito let me just tease you some more. Let's just
say that the dual blade black swordsman will return. You will also see that one
specific special skill of his too. You know the one. I'm still hoping they do some
minor update to his look but I'm doubting that will happen and then for
the end of Alicization I'm not gonna be getting into this here but if you really
want to know post down below just please please be specific when I'm requesting
the spoilers and in general if you do want to know anything not mentioned here
feel free to ask down below but anyway more important let me hear from you how
much more hype does this make you? Who here cannot wait six months? Only six And
which SAO character are you most like to see upcoming again? I bet no one's
gonna say Klein! Anyway be sure to smash a thumbs up and subscribe! Just so you know
