Looks like the SAO Goblin Slayer collab finally happened!
Integrity knight Alice is back.
So what's up guys Foxen here.
SAO Alicization war of Underworld episode two such a great episode.
So if you loved it too smash that like ring the bell and let's dive into this SAO episode.
Starting this off Kirito, so even in this potato State this guy’s still desperately
trying to reach out for his weapon.
It really seems to be Kirito on instinct . The poor dude still has this fighting spirit somewhere
in there.
Then switching it to Alice I like how Alice was extremely quick to get her sword and armor
no hesitation.
Go my blue-eyes White Dragon.
So about the Goblin Slayer SAO tie-in.
Although don't worry these goblins don't like grapes.
They simply want to go stabby stabby and then chop you up into delicious meat.
Then for Alice jumping down like a freakin boss.
It really reminded me of Rogers doing the same in Captain America Winter Soldier.
Did someone order the Alice special and come on you were thinking it too.
Super Hero landing.
Side Note I was really loving the detail on Alice's braid here.
As for the clown's long-lost relative over here my god does this guy have some grapefruit
sized balls.
Let me not only ignore but also argue back to this mysterious blonde.
The one who just jumped down from the freaking sky.
I don't know whether to applause this dude or just call him stupid.
I guess money is a great motivator but get this you have the plump bastard finally revealing
his true slimy colors.
Oh it was that dreaded blonde bimbo witch.
Alice must have been like thanks buddy.
That was after all the countless favors that Alice fricking did for him.
Great memory for this guy too recalling young Alice crossing over to the dark territory
side but if you actually think about it let's actually be glad that Alice is an integrity
knight or at least someone with actual power or authority otherwise I could really see
everyone else siding with this bastard.
Of course except Selka.
And you really have to love Alice this episode.
Oh did you say something bitch please.
I’m Alice, an integrity knight and hopefully you noticed she did happen to sneak in ranked
third in there.
Come on buddy go ahead and bow down to me.
For the animation here very nice notice with the sobbing Selka then the transition over
to the smiling pirate Alice.
I mean you even had Alice's Papa falling in line.
To me it really seemed like this guy was relieved at this turn of events.
I mean not only cuz they got protected by Alice but Alice's supposed punishment really
being the opposite of what it initially seemed like.
As for the bite sized monsters here of course you have the goblins.
You saw a bunch of these back in that ice cave in like Episode four.
Now you also have some orcs here to say hey guys after I end this let's go ahead and celebrate
with some bacon.
For Alice here, go my blue eyes use birth stream on those goblins.
To bad that Alice doesn’t have two more of those that would have been fun.
And trust me I did like the Anime version of this although it would have been nice to
see Alice with Amayori right behind her.
Oh well.
Fun fact about the underworld dragons unfortunately they can't keep shooting out those lasers
constantly which is why you had Amayori in a little bit of a cool-down.
In the middle of all of this did you notice it.
Looks like moneybags still had his priorities in line such dedication but anyway bank
tellers you really had Alice showing off here.
It really was like this level 100 player versus some low-level newbies.
Watch Alice probably didn't get any XP from them although it seems like these
guys really came to just wipe out the whole town and at least in the anime version there
seemed to be hundreds of them.
You know Fanatio and her bankai would be real useful about now.
And then talking about the monsters over here did you notice this orc guy over here?
That one should have been like a walking bag of XP.
No one kills steal that one.
Anyway getting into another standout moment from the episode integrity knight Alice is
officially back back to a hundred percent.
There have been so many questions from some of you about why Alice just didn't heal her
eye.
The truth is via sacred arts and it’s gonna done that easily at any moment but she purposely
held off doing so at least for some time.
It was Alice's cross to bear.
The light novel version of Alice here had a few more thoughts.
She actually thought back to Quinella
Quinella had created Alice's integrity knight body and that practice was almost a Sin unto
itself.
By trying to control the whole human Empire power and then concentrating that into a few
puppet knights that really only led to Quinella own loss of humanity and then eventual death.
Ultimately this leads into Alice’s progression she was now determined to use her power as
a knight for all Underworld citizens.
You know similar to Eugeo and Kirito.
This right here is a huge and forward back in episode 1.
She really only had a handful of people she really cared for in the actual town.
And oh my god is that Geass reference?
Or Sharigan for Boruto Papa fans.
Then for Alice thanking Kirito there was
actually a little bit more to this actually specified in the light novel book was how
Alice's purpose in life post Quinella that really only one thing that was keeping her
going was her caring for Kirito.
No real other motivation existed to keep on living.
Alice realized that she thought she was taking care of Kirito but as the cloth disappeared
it actually might have been the other way around.
Kirito helping her.
But seriously you really don't want to mess with the pissed-off Alice.
It sure has been a while Alice unleashing her bankai or shikai in this case?
Although this really seemed like this storm of golden shurikens completely overpower for
these weak as monsters.
Winner the mother of Dragon.
And you really have to love that dragon transition talking about Amayori this scene was really
nice seeing that birdie on top.
These dragons must be the gentle giants of the underworld and did you notice Amayori
is back with integrity knight gear too?
So after the Rulid village attack aftermath several things were left out from the Anime.
First off the casualties not mentioned in total about 20 people died and then a funeral
was held a few days later.
Somehow Moneybags survived this incident.
Then something cut out from Alice.
Alice actually went back to inspect the cave the dark territory army crossed over.
This time Alice actually flooded the cave then completely froze the whole area.
No one in the target territory side would be able to cross over now.
Not unless they had someone to match Alice’s sacred art skills
but backed Alice present time away she goes.
I really loved the scene of Alice just taking off a little Selka ran after her.
I'm sure you've seen similar scenes before and I do love the rich details in the SAP
light novels but text in a book really can’t replace scenes like these.
Anyway back to the real world the ocean turtle.
A lot of you guys have been wondering what exactly has been going on in real life since
the assault in that cliffhanger and really not much time has passed for Asuna and friends
barely like half an hour.
And talking about Asuna do not screw with Asuna.
Never get between her and her man
keep in mind Kiku here has an actual black belt in judo and kendo and the guy was about
to piss himself.
At this moment I'm thinking this guy would have rather been out there than in here.
Just seeing Asuna in this moment really makes me think what would SAO be like if the fairy
arc situation was reversed.
Her rescuing Kirito.
I guess this arc is kind of like that.
And then Higa actually credited this to Asuna being an SAO survivor so
Getting into the actual details about the ocean turtle.
You're getting this fuzzy situation cluttered up so you have the bad guys taking over the
main control room.
Asuna and her friends escaped to the sub control room and then lock themselves in.
Thankfully or hopefully the bad guys shouldn't try to bomb them otherwise the light-cubes
maybe destroyed.
The bad guys right now are also in control of one Soul translator room and also the nuclear
reactor on board of this turtle.
What could go wrong?
So right now there seems to be a lot of foul play at work
Their only possible reinforcements right now it just happens to be on standby until a certain
blonde is secured.
Smells very very fishy and it's not this damn turtle boat.
So yes now ultimately is turning into this race to capture Alice.
Who's gonna capture Alice first?
Gabriel Miller or Kirito and yes about KIRITO I swear I’d probably have close to a heart
attack if I was Asuna right about now.
So you know about Kirito getting injected with poison.
The good news?
The dude is not dead.
The bad news the situation has gotten worse.
So yes the truth the about Kirito.
The dude doesn't have horrendous Underworld lag.
It is oversimplified but the self-image part Kirito’s own will segment of his fluctlight
has been Damaged.
Thanks Gabriel.
So unless you get that fixed Kirito unfortunately is gonna be on permanent afk.
Then for the actual end here nice little tease with Asuna eyeing the soul translator Plus
that rings.
Kirito you’re tearing me apart.
Kirito moving on to the post credit hopefully you didn't miss that.
Turns out one cliffhanger was not enough
you got the mr. hacker dude over here and friends.
Oh the underworld has been unlocked and yes the real fun is about to begin.
Due expect Gabriels’ backstory perhaps next episode.
Oh and did I miss something?
The new ending by Lisa OH You guys have been asking me about this and
you heard it last video.
I've really just been loving Lisa song.
Give me the full version like now!
This thing is completely Alice focused.
Could this be the best ending for SAO season 3 yet?
And I'm gonna be real with you were real honest.
This ending immediately got me
into tears it made me feel Alice's pain throughout this whole arc.
This ending really embodies the crush state that Alice has been in up until this point.
And yes there is a lot more into this but that gets into very heavy spoiler territory
stuff at the very end of this arc.
If you do want to know go ahead and post down below otherwise keep on wondering.
Next up getting into the SAO light novel changes going into the anime.
Honestly very few stuff cut or changed this episode.
Originally after integrity knight Eldrie found them there was actually a next day.
Throughout the day Alice was actually getting ready to leave.
She felt now that an Eldrie found her the knight commander Bercouli would be coming
next to see her.
Alice at this point really didn't want to go back to being a knight so she wanted to
run away again with Kirito to a different location.
In the Anime they just completely cut that and went into the Rulid village getting attacked.
Next up something between Alice and that lovely fellow.
So during the Goblin battle even after what the guy did to her trying to blame her, Alice
still help them push the guy move Forward to get away and then during this
BATTLE slight change with Amayori.
In the novel the dragon only shot also one burst stream of destruction but Alice called
Amayori a second time
Unfortunately Amayori was still on cooldown so instead she just flew down intimidating
these guys over and over.
Then Alice used her ultimate move.
By the way really quickly my full breakdown on the new SAO war of the underworld opening
is now up.
There is so much hidden juicy stuff here so much that your head would freakin explode.
Go ahead and check that out next!
Anyway go ahead and post your thoughts on this episode down below.
Also what do you think about the ending?
