What the hell? First Kirito got poisoned and now kidnapped too? AErenaron just says join
the club buddy. So what's up guys Foxen here and welcome to the ocean turtle
which sounded better in Japanese. Anyway let's go ahead and get started with this
week's breakdown. SAO Alicization episode five. By the
way I will be talking about some changes coming to SAO videos later here. At the
start of this episode you saw the Laughing coffin attack so yes SAO
Alicization is gonna have a lot more callbacks to the original SAO and
laughing coffin. I was really wondering whether they were completely used new
animation for these older SAO flashbacks or just reuse some footage.
Now you saw what they did which seems to be a mixture of both. The start of it it
was footage from season two plus a small chunk of new animation. I personally
hoping they do anime some new older scenes. Anyway for the rest of this
episode you're back in real life with Asuna and Suguha so yes the big mystery
and fate of what happened to Kirito got revealed in the anime. I've seen so
many of you that thought that Kirito got saved just like in season two but
unfortunately this time he wasn't so lucky. Kirito did in fact get
injected with that lethal poison crap.
Worse is that Kirito may never even wake up. His heart stop for five minutes
and no oxygen for that time and hopefully you have no experience with
this but that's definitely no joke. I've actually had a family member who's
gone through something similar although due to an illness instead of getting
assaulted. No oxygen for a good while you're looking at long-term brain damage.
Once again no joke. Anyway as for Kiku coming in here seeing Kiku appear here
in the anime was super surprising. I almost held out what the hell I get 5
a.m. in the morning and I'll get to why in a little bit although for the anime it
seems like they were just making it super obvious with the Rath guy
appearing. Oh Kirito you got hurt only we at Rath got the technology to
heal him. We could make him better repair him, Next up you have Asuna telling all
the girls in VR. Notably Kirito's best buddy Klein wasn't there but don't feel
bad. Klein is not a main character yet. More
importantly was the fact that Asuna and his family got denied access into the
second hospital. Not that it really mattered since key
they'll never got actually admitted into it. Can you just say shady as hell. Right
after Kiku not only appeared but gave them the suggestion to move Kirito
and then freakin hell yes Yui returns! I'm telling you I've been missing this
adorable little fairy. Anyway as for them trying to track down Kirito
thankfully Asuna has been tracking Kirito's ass for more reasons than one. Asuna
won't let them have Kirito for themselves. As for the car ride by the
way did you notice the Yuna song nine minutes into the episode? Freaking
loving this type of juicy SAO fanservice although with the SAO movie
selling over a hundred thousand copies no surprise at all. Still wondering if
Yuna's gonna get a cameo and I'm not counting the opening showing by the way.
And holy crap maybe they are making Klein into a main character! I wasn't too
surprising him in the first episode I'm actually more surprised to see Klein's
ass that has a freaking car. I do wonder where he lives most people living here
in Tokyo Japan don't own a frickin car. Hell they don't even have a license. Next
up Asuna and the other two at the warehouse. Oh yes even more sweet SAO love. The
Augma devices back and definitely enjoying all these little callbacks to
the movie. It makes sense for it not to just disappear. Now this just makes it
super easy to interact with Yui in real life but getting back to the actual
Kirito situation. It turned out that his ass might have been shipped overseas
by Amazon Rath. And then another SAO movie callback the obvious one here of
course being Asuna's promise ring but let's not forget about that apple
necklace. You may remember it from the movie and it's funny because I somehow
still see some of you worrying about Alice replacing Asuna and to be honest I
don't know why the hell. If this is you I highly suggest reading the novels if
anything listen to Yui's speech. She just gave Asuna.
Now it's Asuna's turned to rescue and help out Kirito. Oh yes her positions
have been reversed from the time that she got trapped in Alfheim online. Next up
let's talk about the new lady Rinko. The one who not only took care of
Kayaba but was also part of Shigemura's lab and yes a professor from the SAO
movie. You got everyone here the professor, Kayaba, the a-hole Sugo
Rinko and Higa but back to Rinko. Yes Rinko was Kayaba's
lover. They even they had a bunch of sexy fun time together although it
seems like Kayaba had a thirst and love for some distant faraway castle. I could
only imagine how annoyed that Rinko got but more importantly is the return
of Kayaba the great sao creator which is the guy that was responsible for about
4000 people dying although it just knowing Kayaba he wouldn't take any blame for it.
So far I've been itching to make a video on Kayaba. Hopefully now soon I'll be able
to. Next up the Ocean Turtle's grand reveal and yes they call it a turtle so
this pyramid structure is taking the place of the shell I'm guessing? To be
honest I don't recall if they actually showed an image of this in the light
novel. This whole base doesn't actually include a head of a turtle or Pig so I'm
not sure what they're going on about. It actually looks like some advanced oil
facility. By the way let me just quickly mention one change I wasn't a fan of was
a blonde lady here mentioning Rath. Definitely let me know if you noticed
but I really think they should have waited to reveal her being Asuna to
the audience and now yes a blonde lady it was Asuna all along. Turns out that
Asuna knows perfect English no accent mmm never knew so Asuna is turning out
to be agent of all seven and a half. And By the way that description of the
flawless English was from the novel and let me just say Asuna is supposed to be
impersonating this actual blonde lady. That guard should have known something
was off as soon as he saw her eyes. Although let me be fair I guess they did
throw in the line about the guard noticing something but then the scan
didn't show any issues. Thanks Yui! and I yes for the ending
they caught Kiku red-handed with his pants down. Don't
Frank was freaking Asuna. Mama bear is super pissed off!
Definitely don't stand in the way between Asuna and her Kirito. She's
like a minute from shanking his ass. Next up let me actually talk about the
SAO video changes so starting now I'm gonna be combining the light novel
changes and cuts into this video. Naturally it's not gonna be anywhere as
detailed and I'll get into the reasons why at the end of this video so first
change here. Unfortunately no ambulance scene for Kirito. I really thought
they would flashback to it but so far they haven't and honestly I'm pretty
disappointed for this cut. More so cuz you had this really important Asuna Scene.
You saw Asuna that was in deep total shock as
it happened. She thought "Kirito it's a lie right? You're not gonna leave me right? Didn't
you say we'd be together forever? Then Asuna saw Kirito's heartrate
stop pulsing on her phone. I'm still holding out hope that they'll flashback
to it. This was a super strong moment and it even got put into the manga version.
Like I said so far I'm not happy with this change. It almost seems like the
severity of Kirito's situation is being planed down or just not getting enough
focus in the anime. Even Asuna's horrible mental state weren't given
enough detail in the anime. So far Asuna in the novel was a total wreck.
She almost wasn't able to sleep at all in the past two to three days since Kirito
got attacked. Next up let's talk about Mr. Kiku major change with this guy
appearing in person, I almost screamed out at 5 a.m. when I saw that.
Originally you wouldn't have seen Kiko until Asuna met him on the ocean turtle.
Hell Asuna couldn't even get a hold of this bastard. For the anime now you have
Kiko talking to all of them. Oh yeah I'm gonna take Kirito to this place that
only I could cure him. Oh did I say that? I never said it would be at a hospital!
Next up Asuna telling the girls about Kirito situation. One of the
biggest change here is that Silica and Liz are now invited. Asuna originally
didn't tell these two until much later. Hell they didn't originally appear until
the finale of this arc. I do have to say though I'm actually happy with the
change especially with the addition of them in the ordinal scale movie. It only
seems right to tell them earlier. It also makes a great addition for further
marketing promotion. I'm thinking a new SAO figures! Anyway as for a
different change the girls actually spend a good amount of time reaching the
point that Rath may be involved in the novel. I'm actually glad they simplified
it a bit although perhaps it was too obvious when Kiku showed up. Next up let
me actually talk about stuff that they just cut out completely so the girls
were wondering why exactly someone would even want Kirito. To them Kirito
was just a normal high school kid one sweet enough to often buy them lunch. The
reason for kidnap Kirito could be due to his swordsmanship. Kirito has his
amazing reaction speed, the ability to adapt to a system and his survivability
in other words all stuff related to VR. Here they brought out the possibility of
it being a grudge. Could Sugo somehow be involved? suna then
mentioned that that creep was fortunately still in jail. So for all
bail attempts were rejected for his slimy ass
especially when they found out he was trying to escape to the US. Yeah keep his
ass out. As for Yui here they also cut out a good chunk of discussion on the AI.
Asuna reach the conclusion that Rath may not be working on the new VR game
but instead artificial intelligence based on the acronym named ALICE. They then
asked Yui about AI and whether she was considered one. And yes this is a very
important detail for the Alicization story so I'm thinking they're gonna
touch on this somehow later on. Anyway here was when you brought up the
discussion about the top-down and bottom-up AI. Here's to oversimplifying
it Yui herself is considered top-down AI which is pretty much this super
advanced Alexa or Siri. A very sad Yui then explain how she was not true AI at
all. She would just listen to question A then research her database to reply with
response B on the other hand bottom up AI would have a brain structure similar
to that of a human so true artificial intelligence. Next up we have Asuna and
the guys checking out the areas. They actually added Sinon, Liz and Silica
checking out the Roppongi Hills location and yeah they definitely took the subway
there. I'm actually glad to see the addition for this stuff since that will
help for stuff coming later in the novel. If you want to know the spoiler post
down below! And then a lot of their talk about Rath and the Soul translator then
got moved to the three talking about it in the car. Right there along with the
other three checking out the various areas this is actually another change.
I'm glad to see since originally it was only Asuna. So far they got noy only
Klein, Silica, Liz more involved but also Kirito's sister Suguha with trying to
locate him. Originally it was only Asuna flying solo after their solo meeting in
VR. The only thing lacking so far was Asuna's thoughts on this whole situation. I'm
still holding out hope that some of this will be brought up later and that
they're doing a lot of these changes just to prevent repeating information
twice or more times that happened a lot in the novel. Anyway next up Kirito
meeting up with Rinko so this flashback got moved up a bit. You do get to find out
more about Rinko later on this involves the whole Rath project, her connection
to Kayaba and especially Kayaba's work were during her stay on the ocean turtle.
Anyway those are all the cuts and changes so far and you might be
wondering why they change from the standalone video. To be honest and
there's a lot of reasons and not a single one thing. Unfortunately right now
there seems to be not enough interest definitely not enough for the hours it
takes to put all the notes together. I am getting this sense that a good chunk of
SAO fans don't even know that SAO season 3 is currently airing. Either way I
didn't want to kill off the series so I'm combining about what the main review
for now although I do have a feeling it may come back later. With this change now
I'll have time to get to other SAO related videos that I really been
wanting to make but just didn't have the time but anyway more important let me
hear from you now question of the day. How much did you like this Kirito less
episode? Are you glad they finally revealed what's going on in the real
world? Was anyone else missing Asuna too? And how about the adorable Yui? So far
which SAO movie callback do you think was the best? Anyway if you enjoyed this
