Christmas update is coming soon! Anyway this week's SAO episode kicks off with
the CG goblins versus a CG soldiers. You know it was only a matter of time
although I am glad to see them using the stuff sparingly.
Not to mention this pretty awesome Linel and Finel scene. Yeah the
kick-ass loli duo making goblin slayer proud. One thing to notice is that
this actually was a new scene for the anime. Getting into the nutless integrity
knight Renly oh yes Quinella still making a cameo.
Unfortunately for this green knight she's still had her clothing on but anyway
you're getting insight as to why this Integrity Knight coward ran off. It turns out
Quinella had deemed him a failure for being unable to master his divine weapon.
The poor dude ended up being put in storage like a sack of potatoes. What the
anime didn't tell you was that Renly was
actually frozen for five years youch! Bercouli only got off easy. Switching it to Ronie and
Tiese despite them looking like they were awfully close to the war the last few
episodes they're actually in the supply tent area. Gotta protect potato Kirito
but really all these guys really weren't ready for the dark territory
army to break through so quickly. On fact the plan was if Eldrie screwed was taken
down somehow Renly and his army would have been right
behind him to assist but you know the green dude just pissed himself and
hauling ass out of there.
Right here Renly did take careful notice of Kirito.
His first thoughts of him was that he looked extremely fragile but still
the guy was clinging to two divine weapons no problem this was a feat
comparable to stuff that integrity Knights could do oh and did someone
mentioned goblins? It is almost comical how the human side is so scared of the
weakest that the dark territory has to offer. At the very least Renly did try
to reach for his weapons. Then for Renly's flashback here oh my god did he
just take out Kirito? You saw this guy competing in this tournament which
is actually similar to what you saw Kirito and Eugeo do in the past
flashback. The guy actually killed his best buddy but I'm sure you got the
feeling that there was more that was cut out you're here about this soon. Then for
Kirito you're the afk dude still strongly gripping his pulsating big
blade. Despite this guy being in potato mode deep down Kirito still
wants to protect this 2x interns what a guy.
And notice even in this state the great Kirito was motivating this veggie
knight. How surprising a level 100 player was
able to take out a level 5 goblin no problem. It just sucks to see that Ronie
and Tiese didn't get any time to shine. I mean who's protecting who now? Holy
hell did Renly's nuts drop this episode. Oh yeah it's gonna gather all
that juicy Goblin experience. I mean Renly fully digivolve into
goblin slayer this episode. The weak little goblin stood no chance. Getting
into the actual challenge Renly vs. the Goblin leader but really did it matter?
This goblin leader was mostly all talk. Renly finally achieved bankai - I mean
release recollection. Quite the achievement for someone that couldn't even use
a perfect weapon control. I think the animation for this was mostly fine but I
really had a issue with this whole scene. I really felt like a Renly's big moment
had a lot of the bite and depth taken out of it.
Was it just me? The whole Renly scene from start to finish felt a little bit
too shallow for me. Switching it to something more bite-sized you had Linel and
Fizel finishing up their own goblin XP farming. I think even this scene wasn't
up to bar. In the background you saw like 10 goblin bodies in reality
there should have been hundreds of goblin bodies in the background. That's
how powerful these little two Devils are. Anyway switching it to more exciting
stuff with the dark territory Quinella aka Dee. Time to unleash all those adorable
winged minions. Aren't they so precious? Unfortunately the anime skipped over
some of the Dee and minion stuff axe here. Let me fill you in. In case you were
wondering why Dee was being so helpful to the god vector? If anything Dee was one of
the most motivated people to capture this Alice girl that he wanted so badly.
That way Gabriel could return to wherever the hell he came from. Dee would
then be able to take the dark territory throne for herself. Previously the only
obstacle that stood in her way was Shasta but do you know mr. dark tornado
is no more. Dee is actually quite ambitious she wanted to take over the
entire Underworld not just the dark territory side. That way she could
actually storm Quinella's tower and then hopefully gain access to Quinella's
immortality sacred arts. If only she knew. Then for the lovely minions these should
look familiar. Kirito and Alice actually had their own
little run-in with the minions outside the tower. Not mentioned in the SAO anime
were these minions being part of Quinella's little experiment. Minions
actually require this vast amount of resources to create for Dee so they were
pretty valuable definitely more so than any goblin on the field. Switching it to
the badass Bercouli now you know why Bercouli was holding back or hopefully
you do? To be honest I really didn't get a good sense of why this was that he was
holding back in the SAO anime scene. Previously before the war Bercouli had
flown over the sky just continuously slashing away. Via Bercouli's perfect
weapon control he was binding his time until the dark territory aerial forces
made their move then he could take them out all at once. It was due to this
minions posing such a danger to them. In this scene all the slashes that Bercouli
made into the future all appeared at once. For the actual anime scene I don't
know it felt like something was missing was it too quick did they cut out too
much of Bercouli's inner monologue. I mean cuz really I was really looking forward
to this moment but the scene really didn't do it for me. Did any of you feel
the same? Let me know down below. Anyway getting back to
Alice and her spirit bomb which to be honest was not a bad comparison at all.
You're now finding out what Alice has been up to this entire time.
Oh great grounds send me your sacred energy humans and dark army alike this
episode. I did like that you're finally getting this very interesting
realization from Alice. All these souls all these fluctlights, everyone dying
from both sides, they're all the same. In fact Alice was trying to only focus
on the humans who were dying but all the thoughts and feelings coming from the
sacred power from both sides dying were indistinguishable. This actually really
shows Alice's progression. Recall back to the Old Integrity night Alice that you
saw near the start of SAO Alicization. That previous knight would not have cared
about the humans and especially not anyone from the dark territory side. So
getting into Alice's actual hyperbeam oh yes so gorgeous!
All the sacred power in the land converted into this super dense compact
size. You would not want to be on the receiving end of that. Oh my god the
Furry Ogres and the dark mages snapped away. Oh no the best girl witches
melted too! How could you Alice so wicked. Which actually leads into
something I do love. The face of Alice at the very end before firing you saw some
hesitation then post blast you could just feel how much pain Alice was in after
having killed thousands in an instant. You could tell she's still devastated so
going forward Alice will have even more to bear. so overall this episode I really
wish I did love this Sao episode more. it felt like this was the roughest looking
Sao episode this war season yet especially near the start. if they're
already having issues are just episode 7 I'm now glad that they're gonna be
splitting this. Also don't forget about the stuff involving of Renly and Bercouli.
the impact really felt lacking it feels like they're cutting a lot of the
context backstory and details just to keep up with a certain pace each episode.
not to mention just to pack all this into a limited number of SAO episodes. If
they really wanted to fully adapt the Renly stuff
most of this episode should have been focused on him then perhaps ending with
Bercouli and his minions smoothie. On the flip side let me mention those
before rereading the Renly stuff I honestly had almost completely forgotten
about him. In the long term I'm sure I won't mind too much about the Renly
stuff but Bercouli really deserves much more attention come on guys do you Bercouli
justice. Switching it to a huge positive definitely the major
and best in this episode goes to Alice from her thoughts on the battle the actual
freakin death ray. All this topped off with her hurt face at the end so
powerful and beautiful. Next up getting into the light novel to SAO anime
changes the highlights. As you heard he mentioned tons of cut and removed detail
axed episode which means a juicy segment this week. First off Renly meeting up
with the two girls some cut details. Renly actually covered his Integrity
knight symbol as he admitted to running away. Then when really took notice of
Kirito he was so intimidated by Kirito's presense that he took a step
back. Oh my god Kirito's Reiatsu is just too strong!
Next up Renly's backstory a quick overview of it. At the age of 13 rarely
actually got into this for Empire unification tournament. The guy was super
young so naturally he was a genius born with high potential. If you recall the
path to being an integrity knight had two routes. Either breaking a taboo then
followed by Quinella knighting you in bed or two you moving up in the ranks
winning tournament after tournament eventually reaching this special one.
the winners from the unification tournament could become integrity
Knights. Renly was actually up against his best buddy during the finals which
he accidentally took his life. Oh SpaghettiOs before this Renly and
his buddy were really like this pair of birds. They help one another competed
with one another ever since departing on their journey to become Knights. It
really served that this small parallel took Kirito and Eugeo. Post Integrity
knight ritual the talented Renly quickly got a divine weapon. Keep in mind
that these divine weapons actually choose a user instead of the Knights
choosing them however Renly was never actually able to achieve perfect weapon
control. Eventually Quinella got bored of him and as you saw she freaking froze
his ass. Quinella had more interest in Alice anyway. Renly was in actually a
statue for five years that was until the day that Kirito and Eugeo stormed Quinella's
tower. A desperate clown happened to unfreeze Renly to fight the intruders.
At the time of this war of the underworld the 15 year old Renly was not
only afraid of fighting but also afraid of doing any killing himself.
Next up the double winged blade release recollection. Originally these divine
weapons had been a pair of holy birds. Each of them had lost a wing being
unable to fly both of these birds connected their bodies. They then rose
and flew to incredible Heights. Next up a cut Linel and Fizel scene.
Originally both of these two actually got to the tent to save Renly and both
of the girls. Linel and Fizel then headed out to take out more goblins.
Then you would have that scene of another goblin coming in which is
followed by Renly losing his goblin slaying of virginity in the anime
this was sped up some which actually I don't mind this being removed especially
since Linel and Fizel got a new scene added for the anime. Then a cut detail
for both of these two little devils. Before you've been getting involved with
the Goblin slayer stuff both of these two were curious about Kirito. they
really wanted to know about the reason Kirito and Eugeo had given up body
and life fighting quinella but why? What had they gained? Unfortunately in the
anime version of them nothing and it really is unfortunate. Little stuff like
this matters alot. It actually reminds me recently of that loli dragon from
Kemono Michi previously she was just this Hungry Girl but then once he got
insight into her it turned her into this character that was much more than this
little girl who eats anything that moves. Next up Bercouli so Bercouli had set
up the hundreds of flashes in the air of the previous day just keeping those cuts
up in the air had put extraordinary strain on him Bercouli had a few
thoughts while being under this great mental strain he thought it was
unfortunate that his great upcoming battle wouldn't be versus Shasta but
perhaps a different or territory leader. Bercouli thought the death of Shasta was
disappointing. Bercouli previous hope that via Shasta
some peace talks would be possible in the future vent was no longer possible.
