The SAO underworld war begins you have fun at tale going all out but only after
suffering a heavy toll so what's up guys Foxen here SAO Alicization War of
the underworld episode 6 the midpoint not only financial but Sir flames burned
brightly this episode so hit that like ring the bell and let's dive into this
you see sao episode at the star that's the dark territory side you got the new
chief of the mountain goblin Koro you which is actually one of the sons of the
previous goblin chief the wolf ogre leader dude with the crossbow. What a
good boy very prepared. I did like that you got this pre-war overhead overview
it really reminded me of my MMO days either waiting for this huge raid to
begin or a massive guild war to launch. On one side about 50,000 then over on
the human side about 3,000 recall that little movie 300 similar vibe here. Even
on the human Empire side you got a shot of each of the different integrity knight
units there were a fair chunk of you asking why Kirito the broken was
so close up. In reality Tiese and Ronie should have Kirito near the supply line
which isn't too far the anime made it feel like they were right behind the
integrity Knight army although let's be fair that purple-ish light should
have been shining up the whole area there by right here notice a date
November 7th the date the gate has fallen. The date should actually sound
familiar this was also the exact date the
original sao was cleared. Oh my god is a Kayaba reference? but anyway the war
of the underworld has begun all it thanks to Emperor Vector's command not
mentioned in the anime was this Skull thing. This was actually something provided by
the Dark Mage leader and as he saw it allowed Gabriel to give orders teach of
the dark territory leaders naturally the first group being sent forward would be
the goblins this included the mountain and field
goblin variety also notice some giants and works there too.
in total 10,000 goblins 2,000 orcs and 1,000 giants I don't like those ons not
mentioned in the SAO anime was how this was actually a strategy suggested by the
Dark Mage leader Dee. Unsurprisingly that wicked Leader wanted to use these
guys as sacrificial pawns a little bit later she wanted her group of mages to
just light up the place from afar. As for Sir Flames here you had the guy having
this ring flashback really him recalling back to his forgotten loved one he first
saw this scene back after Eugeo turned him into a freaking popsicle.
in the anime you get this sense that this was his current determination but
wasn't mentioned was his dream he kept on seemed he actually never told anyone
about it otherwise Quinella's clown wouldn't mind wipe him that ring you son
was actually the same when he woke to find as an integrity knight the
depressing reality was that this dear person was no longer part of this world
you know about 70 years being been max for a non integrity knight person getting
into the actual crimson integrity knight assault I really can't be the only one
thinking it his visual display of forest definitely has to be among the best time
to farm some barbecued goblins I almost are feeling bad for the little
bastards getting nude come on someone just get behind him and keep on making
him arrows mix-up. Next up Miss sniper Fanatio getting in that position. Fanatio
really just wanted to take out one of these dark territory leaders from the
get-go take out the head and you'll get a temporary advantage unfortunately miss
Fanatio missed or did she I was bidding the anime wouldn't dive into the
details so quick abridged version the Giants in the dark territory assigned
have this massive superiority complex really aided by their size. They look
down and not only humans but every other dark territory race however in this
moment this giant leader realized that he was the one being hunted by this
female Knight not to mention about to get killed. In those few seconds fear
indulged his very being and he stumbled back which is why Fanatio happen two
minutes it actually wasn't this giant fella dodging on purpose lucky bastard.
Then for Fizel and Linnel the lolis are back it feels like the anime added the
scene just to give them commentary on the war groups on top of this to give
some establishing shows from this you got little bits of foreshadowing as well
as some pretty obvious next plans for these two troublemakers remember say no
to lolis. Anyway getting to Eldrie's group the gunman's his army was facing where
much much brighter the Goblin leader here knew they were being put out to die
as part of the first assault group so why not just make it harder for them
they actually planned the smokescreen strategy to allow them time to attack
their supply chain that way they could hopefully avoid a head-on fight and
hopefully avoid getting killed too then afterwards they be able to circle back
when more troops came in clever little bastards anyway back to the crimson and
Integrity knight versus those generous bags of XP hey you have you to assemble
making a cameo hopefully for the human Empire
there's some XP share going on for this party anyway getting into mr. giant over
here so what the hell was going on with him was that a glitch in the matrix this
was actually something similar that happened to the past slimy noble dude at
this very moment the giant self-image of being the superior being came in
conflict with the fear he was feeling ultimately it led to a partial collapse
of his lanky unlike Raios this giant just got hooked now consumed by his rage and
hatred. That hatred then reach all the way to Fanatio's lightcube in other
words you really had this giant incarnation that was binding down Fanatio.
That was why she couldn't move the anime really left this more to your
interpretation. Then for Dakira my god did the anime capture this moment
beautifully. Poor Dakira. Arms crushed likes to fan helmets then head possibly
to her body completely crushed to save her beloved Fanatio. I did love
that they're definitely not shying away from showing blood here like some
certain anime. Some backstory cut out here but I will get back to this soon.
Then for Fanatio's revenge time she really cut that titan guy like a
Jedi and help freaking badass was fine auntie oh they really saved their money
shot for Fanatio this episode come on fingers crossed announce that fine
Fanatio figure searching it back to the crimson integrity knight briefly that
see some of the goblins carrying some burnt up Goblins. Some of these
goblins figured out that their leader was only a dumbass who would only keep
charging in which was fine some of these goblins took up some fallen green
buddies to use as his barrier to get closer or just to reduce damage. Then for
the Crimson Integrity Knights switching to blade mode not a divine weapon but
something's still forged by Quinella so sure a group of these guys were no
problem unfortunately these integrity Knights
aren't used to fighting multiple enemies at once. All they ever fought before in
the past has been one-on-one fights. This guy definitely was not ready for though
surprise or cheap tactics that the goblins used. It really felt like this
level 100 player not knowing how to really use his account. Newly added
for the anime was Eugeo's Senpai being that random soldier helping him out or
that try it anyway but never never account an Integrity knight out. Such a
freaking badass moment here too. Bastard did you forget I only carry arrows with
me. Oh yes I got such a Quincy vibe from this moment
using the sword as a final arrow. Goblins Slayer approves of this win. As for Bercouli's
cameo this episode how to get an update on the war situation. I like how
the captain commander is just chilling in the back but just know this guy is
waiting for a certain moment tik-tok. As for Alice in the sky oh my
god is Alice using a spirit bomb? In the previous episode you already had Fanatio
hinting at Alice having this key purpose in the war.
Honestly you might actually already have a good guess as to what Alice is up to
find out next time then the nutless Integrity knight who
just happened to run away and on top of that abandon his unit.
What a damn coward this guy is definitely not Sinon. I sure wish they
showed this first then switched to Alice in the sky that definitely would have
been a way better to end this episode especially no post-credit scene. Anyway
this whole episode definitely highlighted Fanatio and the crimson
Integrity knight's fight fingers crossed that they're able to
keep up this level of animation till the very end
next up getting into the light novel changes going into the SAO anime changes
or cuts the highlights. I think it's now become a game for me which backstory or
details will be cut out. For backstories there was some detail cut out for the
new Goblin leader and the now dead Dakira. So first off integrity knight
synthesis 22 ≈ died she was actually the only one he hurt speak
before when Kirito and Eugeo were doing their tower climb and die love Fanatio
so much eventually she became part of Fanatio's groupie known as a Four
whirling blades. You would think these four were skillful however Fanatio actually
gathered these knights together or had a questionable risk of carrying out
solo missions outside. Fanatio taught them team work to improve their survival chances
in other words as for team up of these knights with this loser squad. Dakira
herself ultimately became on integrity night at the age of 16 at least that's
when she committed a taboo which involved loving another female who was a
year older. What a surprise the church doesn't love you playing for the
opposite team? Dakira actually never confessed but instead ask for
forgiveness at an empty church unfortunately for her Quinella's
wonderful Senate was listening in. Dakira actually thought that Fanatio
resembled the girl a bit that she was loved. Then for something cut out for
Fanatio in the novel Fanatio actually put Dakira then
heaven piercing blade rose from the ground into her right hand
in other words hinting at Fanatio using the incarnate arm just like Eugeo and
Bercouli could do. So let me mention I did love the whole Fanatio
display at the very end although this could have been a nice cherry on top of
that Fanatio sundae. One final thing about the poor Dakira in
the SAO light novel didn't mention how she bridge the gap between herself and
Fanatio really having her body become this beam of light.
you got that a little in the anime when reading this this actually felt like a
callback to Asuna doing something similar in Sao Season one. Recall the
time that Kirito got paralyzed? Realistically Asuna was way too far
to make it to the dying Kirito's location in time however Asuna still
made it in the nick of time. Then for Eugeo's senpai whose name I
forget so you finally got some dialog from this guy in this episode the anime
now added this guy to the crimson knight team. I do like the guy being included here
since I skipped over him earlier by the way definitely don't miss my
videos on the top SAO fights ranked did your favorite make the cut I think after
this episode I might have to rethink that list for anyone also curious about
Asuna I do have a video and when goddess Asuna will make her under
all-day view but more importantly I definitely want to hear down below what
you love from this episode the most was that the crimson Integrity knight and
his barbecued goblins was it Fanatio, her loss and then her plus ultra win or
some other awesome bit chimed in down below watched these juicy videos and
I'll see you guys later!
