PoH. Recall the SAO server post credit scene? I expected that to be connected to
something else turns out is actually one of the biggest
updates and changes to SAO Alicization.
you got Yuna and Eiji logging in via that SAO server
as for the old buddies meeting up Vassago and potato Kirito.
it only took a few years for roni she didn't stand a chance
you could actually see that Kirito has been crying unfortunately not shown was
that Kirito had been trying to get up which should have been similar to the
last time that the anime cut out Kirito should have been reacting to
everyone getting hurt especially Asuna and dammit Vassago so ruthless kicking
down a guy in a wheelchair i wouldn't be surprised if he did the
same to blind people still even at this point Kirito holding on to the blue rose
sword oh unfortunately for him Vassago finally
managed to get a reaction from him oh no Kirito had to give an opening to
this demented bully naturally this laughing coffin bastard
would keep trying to poke the bear and then you do have to give props to
decline for trying to defend his best body but looks like his time to shine
has dimmed long ago the anime did cut this klein
demonstration a bit short klein did try to keep on going but then
got stabbed again ouch by the way did you notice
Vassago's chopper that thing just keeps on getting bigger and bigger
it won't be too long until that thing's actually an axe so getting into it ag
finally revealed Eiji has entered the battlefield
you knew it i knew it they hinted at this guy back at liz's speech and for
several episodes now this was definitely the most surprising
and interesting moment for me keep in mind hq and yoona were not in
the SAO light novels the SAO movie got released long after
SAO Alicization was done so you got some interesting additions
visually you can't see this death evil representation of Vassago's dark
incarnation it is similar to Gabriel in some ways
i mean you have a saga directly affecting the red knights via the
stained incarnation the weird bit here is that these players
are not connected via the solo translator
either way Yuna is here too plus her song i mean you even have unit with
their original skill buzz via her incarnation Eiji really was
giving Vasago a run for his money. I mean combining that with
Yuna even removing the previous darkness from the knights
was Yuna able to reach all of them it definitely seemed like it
if you recall Yuna was this VR idol which should have been global
no surprise some of them recognized her right here you can't notice yunna and
aegis incarnation visually shown as purple
for me really just knowing their background and then the follow-up to the
SAO movie really made this whole moment really special
the cherry on top was Eiji's own incarnation shining through with this
declaration to his old sao past god damn this shows so much growth for
the character not only since sao but since the ordinal scale movie
honestly this really got me a bit teary-eyed
funny because Vassago really was on the ropes cause honestly the guy was
sweating there for a bit but oh did i speak too soon ages been
officially disarmed i knew it i knew it aeg would eventually
need to be taken down for certain events to keep on going in order
Anyway Vassago'a background mid-ass beating my god
did Vassago get shafted so many things are bridged
i almost wanted to hurl at this part, Here's a quick rundown of the stuff the
anime did not tell you. Vassago was born to the Hispanic mother
and Japanese Papa. He never did find out how his parents met but he was sure was
his monetary relationship. Unfortunately his mother got knocked up
she did want the baby terminated but the father forced her to have the kid
and don't get that wrong the father actually didn't give a crap about Vassago
Poor Vassago he never got a gift from his father the only thing he ever got was
his japanese ability you're not going to be surprised if
Vassago's mother hated his existence she couldn't give him a name like devil
or satan in the u.s so she settled on Vassago aka the prince
of hell instead it wasn't until Vassago turned 15
that he realized why his father forced his mother to have him
it was only to serve as his organ donor for his other son that he actually
loved yeah Vassago didn't have a say in the matter
to this Vassago only made a simple request he wanted to live in his
father's country japan his father strangely did accept
which at the same time served as Vassago cutting off ties from both of his
parents completely unfortunately Vassago couldn't
automatically stay in japan from his father's side so he was technically
there illegally he eventually ended up in this korean crime syndicate
these guys trained him to become a hitman this should also explain his
korean knowledge and honestly i can't say i'm surprised
that this was cut out then for Vassago stealing that nerve gear
what the hell was up with this change and then the anime simply made it seem
like he wanted to kill the japanese but that wasn't really it
originally Vassago was given a special task after nine successful hit jumps
the bounty was on someone trapped in the sao death game you know what that means
only one way to kill them the balance he offered was completely insane for this
although Vassago had a hunch that he would never actually get it oh and Vassago
wasn't actually the one that stole the nerve gear
it was actually this crime syndicate that went through great lengths of
getting it as for the anime events funny how he
joined from his crackdown apartment i guess Vassago made sure he was placed
in a hospital soon afterwards ooh did they update the SAO login by the
way in case you are confused about how he could log into sao after the whole
siu incident the japanese government of course
gathered all the nerve gears if you still happen to have a nerve gear plus
an original copy of the SAO game he could in theory still log in anyway
for Vassago and SAO. I like how this guy spawned with this cloak already
Vassago's first experience in VR actually altered his personality he is
finally set free the anime made it seem like he just
wanted to kill all japanese but it was actually all these japanese players who
reminded him of his horrible parents Vassago actually hated all asian people
you might be able to see why this guy changed
anyway back to aeg getting carved up like a turkey holy crap
aeg is a damn fighter going straight for the throat
i don't know if Eiji was just that much of a badass but he sure was making everyone
else around him look so bad and my god they even added Yuna with
their SAO attire they really need to make a SAO
progressive anime someday too bad both of them dusting away into
sacred energy both of them exited at the same time
so yuna should be logging in from aeg's nerve gear or perhaps augma device
freaking finally some of these red knights are catching on funny that it
only took the laughing coughing symbol to open up their eyes
or i guess you could argue Yuna helped in the process and i've heard some of
you mentioned this do you wanted some knights fighting themselves
this episode you got it once again Vassago's incarnation influencing the
entire battlefield so getting back on track with the sro
book events you got Vassago checking up on the potato on the ground.
few things here the anime cut out but Vassago realized that Kirito reminded him
of his half-brother before the kidney transplant
at least one of the things i do like about the anime flashback was Vassago's
brother actually resembling Kirito Vassago here actually wanted to kill
Kirito right here afterwards log out and kill
Asuna Kirito in real life too only this thought dull the pain that he felt from
his kidney being stolen anyway getting to the other darkness
battle ongoing leg blown out from goddess
one point to gabriel so yeah sniper versus sniper
complete with the bullets getting frisky in reality gabriel have been
intentionally hitting her shots you know underworld second leg goes boom
Sinon should have imagined more bullets then for Leafa fighting for all
the blts i knew they weren't gonna show it you
know those swords penetrating her back lifa shoulda had one piercing her chest
actually splitting her heart thankfully you did get to see Leafa
reattaching her arm like a freaking boss i am glad to see that Lefa gave a gist
of this goddess account being like a curse
she is immortal but not invulnerable so much suffering
i did find it a bit funny that after saying she cannot fall a second later
she does fall to the ground and for the big moment lifa plus
incarnation really fueled by her determination as a black swordsman's
sister they really resemble what Kirito used
against Quinella's clown only much more destructive
and oh hell yeah they did it boom headshot
that looked horrifying as hell this got me completely off guard
see this is some of the carnage that the anime has been slowly cutting out i'm
gonna be scared till the end of the day anyway getting back to legless Sinon
Fabriel you really messed up aiming for that weird ass necklace
you activated her special ability did someone say sniper
don't forget the recharging ability of the original goddess bow is still in
play that's right Sinon you would make
Fanatio proud. That's right take that you blonde murphy finally
getting some damage he got his crispy face really looking
like Shoto from my hero academia you gotta love how he looks so
pissed he looked like a little mad kid not to mention the arm destroyed
hopefully it stays like that i'm still waiting to see him use that sword of his
that's right run away little bitch or i'll shoot your ass
then for the finale for goddess Leafa at this point there were only about 100
left it looks like the anime removed any more
sword decorations on her back there should have been 10. As for Higa
leaking out his life in real life oh my god they did the slimy dude wrong
really getting that death star treatment but wait that didn't happen
originally Rinko did smash his coconut so he was probably alive
now for the anime oh well nothing of valley lost
it is kind of funny how you have high trying to put on a tough guy act oh
don't worry i got shot but it's just a scratch i do
really like how rinko genuinely sounds concerned for him and
props to my man Higa finally getting the balls asking her out
your ass took a bullet but it's all worth it you're gonna get a mcdonald's
date afterwards don't worry it's progress at least
you're getting the foot through the door i also do like higa acknowledging the
death flag just a few more episodes getting into it the trailer sean the
underworld goddesses connected to one depressed potato Kirito at last
hey Higa you okay? Daijoubu? And they did keep it the touching Asuna line
you could have my heart my life my everything
oh it's happening even Eugeo's memories from the broken blue rose sword
hey Kirito are you dreaming next episode should
make your heart cry don't let us down a1 pictures so how
much did you like this episode i think i'm feeling mixed on it
are you liking the sagu despite the anime abridging and
changing his backstory how about the sheena and alifa fight scenes
did aeg and yuna get it better and don't get me wrong i freaking love the aeg
scene but at the cost of Vassago? I mean think about it this is one of the og
characters from back in sao several times more interesting than
gabriel combine that with this final chunk of episodes only being 11.
dammit this freaking sucks klein balls at this point perhaps i should lower my
expectations they'll probably screw up the Kirito
events and any more Kirito and Asuna moments i should consider them snapped away
anyway for more positive things again i really love the Eiji and Yuna scene plus
her song playing i mean the SAO movie has been a
huge highlight for the series and for me personally overall it does echo one of
my past theories this really opening Eiji door for Eiji
and now Yuna to be integrated into future events and to be fair the SAO
movie sequel story already started laying down the groundwork for it
goddess Leafa finally got her moment too it feels like a lot of people did not
like her intro it seems a lot of people also misunderstood her intentions just
because of what the anime cut out hopefully this episode makes up for her
despite the small cunts it might have been better overall than
Sinon scene. Sinon definitely got a kick-ass intro into the underwood
for the actual Sinon vs gabriel back and forth honestly i really do wish i
like to fight more and don't get me wrong i don't dislike
it i'm probably somewhere in the middle at least the visuals were great
as for changes first off was sago i would say that the anime may get back to
it but who am i kidding? Post sao events Vassago actually went
back to collect this huge chunk of cash for the job he did
the boss didn't want to pay him so he murdered him
he then made his way back to the us in san diego he eventually got a job as a
private military contractor in vr combat training against the
national guard and marine corps Vassago's skills shined through but the
guy was not satisfied the prince of hell yearned to get back to the false world
of truth and putting Vassago aside there were so
many little changes which is why i recommend reading the aso light novels
anything involving Goddess Sinon and Leafa felt much more impactful there too
so definitely check them out at bookwalker and i highly recommend SAO
progressive there's also a thousand percent more
argo you should see what she could do with the banana
anyway bonus question for hardcore fans so far in the anime who do you think has
had the best moment Leafa, Sinon, or Asuna? And don't forget to
subscribe there is a juicy SAO video coming i'm also losing sleep for ReZero
too so look forward to that and i'll see you
guys later!
