When does Kirito wake up? How does Kirito even recover? Nope unfortunately
it's not going to be from a big smooch from Asuna. What up guys Foxen here.
No surprise there's been so much hype for Asuna returning to the
front line back to main character status but now that the SAO goddess is
back how about Kirito too? And yes this is gonna be a very juicy SAO video
When does Kirito awaken? How does Kirito even recover? What's
ultimately gonna be the secret magic? Since you're awesome go ahead and smash
that like to help Kirito out! Ring that bell and let's dive into Kirito!
Before getting into the actual solution it is really important to understand the
Kirito issue so What's Wrong Kirito? What happened to you? Let's go
back to the end of Quinella for SAO Alicization. Victory for that ultimate battle
came with a heavy toll. The dual blade black swordsman lost his arm
no more dueling for you but most importantly poor blond boy Eugeo got
snapped away. Recall the last time that Kirito suffered a heavy loss like this? It was
back in that one lovely Christmas themed episode what did Santa bring to the
naughty boy? Death for the whole guild Enjoy. Now fast forward to SAO
Alicization war of the underworld you got Kirito and potato mode but
why? During the Quinella fight Kirito suffered that extreme hardship at the loss
of Eugeo. Forever gone was his partner that he deeply bonded with over his
Underworld adventure. Thanks to Gabriel and Vassago Kirito ended up hurting
himself inside the Underworld. That short circuit led to a surge in the soul
translator. Kirito at the time was mentally attacking himself for the
horrible sacrifice that was made. This ultimately led in Kirito actually
damaging his own fluctlight which now leads into the current Kirito. At
the moment his self image has been severely damaged.
Kirito's current appearance and state now reflects Kirito's deeper desires. It's
almost as if Kirito wished to vanish completely from this world
in other words logging out completely from both worlds. Since deep down inside
Kirito has kept on punishing himself for what happened even Kirito's arm
couldn't be fully restored. Sorry Alice. Thankfully Alice has been
taking care of the poor boy for Asuna. Alice has helped to keep his sword clean.
So now that you know the depth of the issue how to fix the Kirito?
Unfortunately even with the God account Asuna just can't give Kirito a
happy ending. Not yet anyway. First off when can you
expect Kirito to return in the SAO anime or at start to come
back to you. Keep in mind SAO Alicization War of the Underworld part two is said
to have only eleven episodes. That'll be 11 episodes to split up to Sao light
novels light novel 17 and 18. Keep in mind in the final SAO light novel
for this Underworld adventure is actually much longer than the previous
one. Assuming they're gonna split the anime mostly evenly that'll be five
episodes for SAO light novel 17 and then the last six episodes for SAO
light novel 18. You can expect Kirito to come back around episode 5. I honestly
wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of cliffhanger for an episode. It'll end
with what's been going on in Kirito's mind. For the actual episode estimate at
earliest it'll be around episode 4 to the latest being episode 6 emphasis on
this being a rough estimate. I wouldn't be surprised as they keep on moving
around events, scenes, abridge character dance or cut out stuff completely. I am
just praying to the SAO goddess Stacia that they adapt Kirito's inner
conflict extremely well otherwise it'll just greatly diminish what comes
afterwards. On top of that also what came before this great build-up so all this
is great but that doesn't actually tell you when Kirito will be back to
being the Dual blade black swordsmen Kirito. For the second rough estimate I
do expect in the build-up Kirito's return and definitely leave his
mysterious comeback on a cliffhanger which only makes this estimate harder to
predict. Expect Kirito back in fighting form around episode 6 or 7 although this
depends on how soon and how much they actually want to cover for Kirito's
coconut drama. Next important thing how does Kirito even get fixed? Does
Asuna help heal Kirito? It won't be directly but Asuna is one of the
people involved in Kirito's recovery. Huge shout out and credit to Higa. Even
though Higa is responsible for part of this underworld war mess you know it
just have been a god vector account free for the taking.
He actually does come through in a huge way for Kirito he actually noticed
this activity and Kirito's fluctlight at three different times during the
ongoing war what do you think happened during those times
bingo. The debut of each of the under organizers Asuna, Sinon and the late
Leafa. Kirito current problem resolves around his damaged self-image
he gets solution perhaps a backup of Kirito's self-image could exist somewhere
let me just go ahead and oversimplify the quantum stuff the fluctlight data
from other people close to Kirito should be able to be combined to restore
Kirito's self-image there are two issues associated with
this for one there needs to be enough luck light data so enough people close
to Kirito and two they need to actually extract that look like data
from people hooked up this is soul translator. Thankfully at this point you
just happen to have three people close to Kirito in the on the road
bring on Asuna Sinon and Leafa hurrah Kirito saved! Except not good enough
Asuna friends almost complete the Kirito self image backup but something is
missing that someone say close partner eg Oh welcome back yes he will have a
small Eugeo cameo on side of Kirito's mental bashing ultimately best buddy
Eugeo was the one to provide that last push to Kirito comeback stand my
dear friend my hero. By the way just to clarify from Eugeo's own words this
was a fragment memory of Eugeo inside of Kirito's heart and mind the cherry
on top for this will not only be seeing you two again briefly but Asuna holding
onto Kirito tightly as he makes his return. Next up some vaguer Kirito self
honestly extremely obvious stuff from all that build-up yes Kirito will
make a full recovery in the under road Kirito will get his missing arm back
he's gonna deadpool that little sucker back into normal big boy sighs let's
also not forget about the blue rose sword that frosty replacement will get
fully fixed as good as on these shiny popsicle on top of that the release
recollection oh yes that's definitely coming up again for the blue rose sword
this will definitely also include Kirito's night sky blade. I know some of
you have been hyped for that and let me not be a downer but I'll just be
completely honest. I would suggest not to be that hyped up for the night sky blade
released recollection. I personally feel most of you will enjoy Kirito
becoming the dual blade black swordsman a lot more again compared to actually
seeing anything coming out of the night sky blade alone that said how the anime
displays us visually will play a huge part so all of this sounds great but I
do hope the anime fixes a few things I got two major issues the first it's more
like a fix to the anime adaptation they really really need to stop cutting out
character thoughts or inner monologue. This his is even more true for Kirito's
inner struggle and what comes afterwards some of the upcoming stuff will
reference stuff back in SAO season 1 this will actually include some stuff
that didn't make it into the anime which I actually be interesting to see how
they bring that back into the anime now more importantly he
did the will feel extremely overpowered on his return
that'll be especially true they slash out a bunch of this stuff out as always
the reason or explanation has always been in the SAO source material let's
just hope this is not one of the times that the SAO anime puts a novel in a
blender and only gives you a small glass full second major issue my personal
issue involving the events surrounding Kirito recovery you just found out
about Kirito needing the help from people that he's close with between Asuna
Leafa and Sinon one of these is not like the others for Asuna totally makes
sense for her being there as soon as currently Kirito's lover they spent so
much time in the SAO death game hell they were even married at one point and
actually Kirito and Asuna pretty much behave like a long-term married couple
at this point. For Leafa she's Kirito's beloved cousin or little sister figure
depending on how you slice it naturally these two have a rich history not only
being blood related but having grown up and lived with each other still to this
day and then he has Sinon the little bookworm that Kirito came in
contact during the GGO incident. Up till the point of Sao Alicization they've
known each other for roughly half a year this whole Shin an inclusion fell
borderline forced maybe a level below that and trust me as a fan Sinon and I'm
totally willing to let this go by. To this day I still am a huge Sinon
venom I definitely loved her whole arc and development I am buying her goddess
she and her figure on day one eventually the sniper Sinon and when I got the
funds to do so come on release an integrity knight scene and
figure two that said to be fair to both Sinon and Reki I mentioned being willing
to give this a pass especially since I needed people currently connected to the
soul translator. If I were to make up numbers I would say Asuna helped 50%
Leafa around 25% and Asuna would have been like 5 to 10%
no biggie here but then you combine this with other stuff at one point in sa you
only have Goddess Sinon and that freshly entered be on the Underworld. Sinon seeing Kirito
actually got a small reaction from Kirito definitely nothing on the
level of Asuna's arrival. Naturally Sinon and cared about Kirito's well-being or
lack thereof in this case however you actually have Sinon and giving potato
Kirito a peck on the cheek on top of this Asuna was in the room behind
when that happened I mean really she didn't even has a dump and Oh Asuna was
okay with us again really unlike the whole suppose that Alice
kissing that was not really a kissing this actually happened then to some
extent Asuna was fine with it - what the hell Sinon definitely of all people
shouldn't be doing that even considering it especially not when Asuna is right
behind her not when Kirito in this broken state
definitely not what even Asuna didn't kiss him not in this state adding more
to verse Sinon a little later and minced out loud that she likes or even
loves Kirito she didn't followed this up by saying there's a lot of
people who care or love Kirito too. Please please if they do nothing else
for the love of Goddess Stacia don't include this in the anime. The SAO season
three anime has so far fixed some of the issues I recently had with the whole
Asuna versus Alice episode that was done pretty well and they could do it again
delete this whole thing and Sinon just say that you care for him full stop.
I mean they've already cut out the Kirito kissing Selka scene. You could
cut out one more pack just one more but enough mini rant.
here's a quick interesting tidbit for me and don't try to keep this brief I
actually wanted to double-check the original Japanese tanks just to see how
the whole Sinon kiss scene actually read a major reason being it failed
extremely out of character for Sinon especially her out of all people not to
mention doing that to someone in this coma ish State on top of that what their
lover being right behind him that being Asuna who is also very close to Sinon
at this point even more reason to be suspicious about the whole scene
I should note in typical Japanese fashion there is some vagueness baked
into the Sinon when I first read this with my understanding from the Japanese
source scene was that Sinon touched Kirito's cheek and lips which is still a
little weird but four marks at the boat given the context honestly I wasn't
confident enough to confirm this which is why I reached out to a couple of
native Japanese people that I know including someone who does translating
for a living the results unfortunately it was a mixed
bag one person sided with it most likely being the Sinon Peck scene. Then the
translator emphasized it could be either case given the context as a situation in
other words up to debate nothing concrete in my face
either way I'm still hoping this was a mistranslation so either nothing to
worry about or they could just remove the scene completely anyway ask any
burning SAO question down below I do emphasize try to ask as soon as possible
so go ahead and post any juicy thoughts down below how high are you for Kirito
return how do you feel about the whole Sinon scene definitely subscribe
so you don't miss future indepth anime videos and I'll see you guys
later.
