Kirito and Asuna trapped
inside of the Underworld,
time to start repopulating. So what's
up guys, Foxen here!
SAO Alicization War of
Underworld episode 21.
You even got a flash from the
past with Mr. SAO making a cameo.
So be sure to Goddess smashed out, like ring
the bell and let's dive into this,
but really quickly a thank you to
bookWalker. I know you love SAO
so why not find out what Asuna and
Kirito were doing for 200 years?
You can't find out, add bookwalker. So it checked them out.
After today's episode titled,
Beyond Time. Over at the
Ocean Turtle side  you got
Alice's lightcube being ejected.
I actually kept on seeing this question
from our lot of you last episode. Oh,
what would Alice do? She doesn't
have a body. Keep in mind
despite her not having a body,
she would be able to convert to other
VR worlds like ALO or GGO no
problem. You could bet that's what
Quinella had planned. Then for Asuna
You got to see the other side of things.
And just to clarify about her choice
Asuna didn't know they would be stuck
for 200 plus years. On the other hand,
Asuna was able to see the acceleration
countdown from the admin console on her
side. She knew that the underworld
was about to be locked up,
which is why she chose to
remain with Kirito,
until he was able to log out
too. Switching to Kiku finally,
getting off your ass, got to save your
best buddy Higa but for the tough news,
you may have saved Alice
but you're losing Kirito and Asuna. Then
for Rinko side come on, A1 pictures.
How much are you cutting
from these characters?
Rinko thought that Asuna
staying behind was so youthful,
so earnest and so tragically beautiful.
She thought back to her own situation
with Kayaba. Kayaba had left her behind
disappearing into VR, but she did
wonder what would she have done
ff she was given the
option to go with him?
Would she have destroyed her own
brain? Just like Kayaba had done.
She previously thought that the
floating castle and creating this isekai
was Kayaba's only desire. But
during those two years Kayaba
had found something, learned something.
SAO had changed
his way of thinking.
Kayaba had realized that SAO was not the final
destination. It was only the beginning.
That's what eventually led high about to
developing that high density nerve gear
prototype that killed them.
That's what led Rinko to design the
Medicuboid from the data Kayaba left her.
To which then all the data collected
from here from Yuuki helped Higa and Rath
finished the Soul Translator.
The Underworld now should have been the
type of reality that Kayaba was searching
for a true Isekai
So had Kayaba's desire come true? To
which Rinko realized that wasn't it.
This still didn't help to explain
another piece of the puzzle that Kayaba left
behind the SEED package.
Every VR MMO now had a standard
foundation based on the SEED architecture,
which was how the Japanese players
were able to convert their accounts.
It wasn't mentioned at
this point exactly,
but I do recall it being somewhat
hammered down how this conversion function
from VR to VR world was not only a
standard function, but Kayaba made it
so it cannot be disabled.
So what is the point of it?
Why was it required for all VR
worlds to have a shared architecture,
to be linked in this way?
Rinko wondered about this and the
great Kayaba mystery continues. I'll
just saying SAO Unital Ring!
And now it makes sense
Why the anime cut this. Foreshadowing for
stuff not in SAO season three. Anyway
for Alice's lightcube
I woulda chucked that thing in my pocket
or bag and then put an empty one in the
briefcase, just in case.
So one minute gone by plus 10 years. Asuna
and Kirito would have been
almost 30 in underworld time.
Hopefully married by this point.
Rinko here was hoping they could log
them out before their soul lifespan was
reached. If so,
they might be able to erase
all the memories from this
max acceleration period.
The only problem is that they had less
than 12 minutes to do it. As for the Grim
adventures of Kiku and Higa, it looks
like Kiku was about to pass out.
Don't drop this guy like a hot potato.
You know what happened to Yanai for
Kiku here? I like how he was like, Oh,
the reason I'm doing this.
You mean saving his ass?
Or should I say saving the brain of
RATH. For the Critter side of things,
still trying to get Alice from their end.
These guys are really working overtime.
I even like how Critter went above
and beyond with the Apple watch map
he hooked up new for the anime and no
one cares, but they found Quinella's simp.
Now of very Berry pancake.
You may recall this dumb ass falling
when Rinko dropped that wrench. In the
original that didn't happen.
Critter just concluded that he may have
just slipped and ended up in the same
state. For a Kiku. Oh no, it looks like
good deeds don't got unpunished,
his dumb as just how to take a
bullet in the ass. In the anime,
totally didn't make that clear,
but at least Kiku did score a
plus one from taking the damage.
It kind of sucks that they
left out Critter somewhat
freaking over the dance of
bullets. I'm just the PC guy,
dammit. The anime also left a vague,
but do you recall how they were contracted
to  steal Alice's lightcube.
The client actually ordered
them to destroy Alice
if they determined she was unrecoverable,
which means time to blow it all up.
Critter here actually didn't have a pair.
He actually thought that if
he decided to blow this up,
he would have nightmares
for the rest of his life.
Let's go ahead and get captain
Gabriel to make the call.
I was actually really happy to see
where they moved the Gabriel scene,
but Gabriel, you ain't looking so
good. Are you? Oh, could that be fear
I smell? That sweet sweet emotion.
Sorry, Gabriel. Payback's a bitch.
What a lovely Ring expired scene.
Did you forget? This was Japan.
I gotta say, I freaking love this.
The anime captured this
whole scene perfectly,
especially with the bloody loli and
kind of obvious why they couldn't do this.
But originally Gabriel was also shouting
out for a Vassago and his guys to help
him out. Then for Critter coming
in for the nice surprise. Ah,
you could actually see Gabriel's
claws, peeling off. Ring vibes
definitely intensified. And
that's what you get you bastard.
I mean killing the blonde and
then countless others. Oh yeah.
and Critter day confirmed no pulse,
better double tap that guy just to be safe.
But Holy crap, it looks like
Vassago isn't doing much better.
He looks like a dried up tree.
How appropriate and okay
I need to point out this anime change.
Originally Vassago was described with his
eyes closed, sleeping
peacefully. In the anime
it's anything but that. The dude
looked like someone just sucked him dry
like a vampire. Perhaps Alicia had him
for dessert. Switching back to Rinko,
10 minutes and counting. So plus around
100 years for granted, Kirito
and Asuna Kirigaya.
keep in mind that theoretical limit for
anyone's fluctlight is around 150 years.
Naturally. They don't have any
way to actually confirm this.
It could actually be much higher
or way, way lower, but anyway,
bigger turtles to fry at the
moment, Critter what a great guy.
They actually did it setting this place
to blow up sky high Megumin approves.
So don't worry guys.
You don't have to worry about
the Underworld in a few minutes,
they won't even exist. And I do have
to give props to this random guy, Oh,
just a sauna. He could tell from his face.
He knew he was lying his ass
off going into that room.
He was very likely to get
extinct in the process,
but there's someone called for help
back to Rinko. You got to admire,
Higa working his ass off to shut
off the two machines and Kiku.
How about playing the hero? But what's
what that ketchup stain come on. Kiku.
There's only so much he could do,
especially when climbing up and
down ladders and freaking hell.
Each one of you most
keeps on getting shot,
getting into it a while terminator appears. Welcome back from the dead Kayaba.
So at the very least the anime cat,
this chunk of Kiyaba in
here's the major point,
Kayaba asking a Rinko to fulfill his dream,
which is a connection of the two worlds
that are currently divided. Oh yes.
Exhale, world vibes, intensified,
and ma you dumb ass. Only.
You're realizing how much
Rinko meant to him post death,
which there is supposed to
be this parallel between
the two for Kirito and Asuna.
For a small but important anime cut.
They did ask why Kayaba waited
until this moment to act.
I had no intentions of interfering
with the other ones simulation.
He only appeared at this moment
to protect Asuna and Kirito.
The two that had transcended the system
he built. For another Kayaba cut
wrinkle wondered if this
was what Kayaba wanted.
The Underworld was now
officially a new reality,
a world made incarnate by the invisible
power of young people who sought to break
free from the existing system of reality.
What Kayaba had discovered in those
two years in the castle was the endless
possibility they represented, which
was this bright power of the heart.
Then for Kayaba Terminator mode, Rinko
had no idea how Kaia bus slipped into it.
But one thing was clear.
The Kayaba inside of it had to
be the one and only original,
but come on Kayaba! failure.
right before the final stretch,
really pulling Kirito aren't
you? It looks like Rinko to the rescue.
She had to be his Asuna.
Now stand the Kayaba come on.
I'm really hitting these anime cuts
on the day that Kayaba woke up from the
death game. He told her I don't
believe in miracles, but you know what?
I saw a miracle today for
the first time in my life,
he was talking about the sword that went
through him and destroyed the last of
his HP. It was like he did they'll
refuse to obey the system and go away.
He instead pierced him with his blade.
Perhaps it was that moment that Kayaba
had been waiting for all of his time.
I just mentioned a somewhat related
juicy as a video is in the works.
Look forward to it. I know he
has the final hurrah for Kayaba,
really pulling off that all might pose,
getting back to Critter and friends
fast, right? You better run away.
So small anime cut for critter.
Recall this whole mission was contracted
by the NSA and CIA Critter was now
getting worried that he
wouldn't get silenced.
Maybe stepped back into
the us as an insurance.
He actually snuck out a micro memory card
from the ocean Critter he actually taped
it to his chest with skin color
waterproof tape just in case,
but getting to the jucier stuff. Oh,
two bodies? Weren't there at the,
I like how these other guys weren't even
questioning Vassago  missing word of
Assad. Go go was the cycle. Even there,
I will point out how Critter never
actually checked his pulse.
And this whole situation was something
I was really happy to see in the actual
story. Vassago ain't dead yet.
This is some foreshadowing.
The anime couldn't avoid.
So getting back to Rinko,
she did have faith that Asuna
and Kirito would wake up.
She actually wanted to put Alice's lightcube into their hands, assuring them
RATH had kept her safe. She also
wanted to tell them about Kayaba,
who risked himself to protect
the Underworld. At the same time,
she wouldn't ask them to forgive
him. That was impossible,
but she didn't want them to understand
the idea that Kayaba left behind and the
goal he had been striving
for. Talking about Kayaba
to,
it looks like what sounded wasn't the
only one that could turn into a ghost. Back
to Higa over 17 minutes for
Kirito and Asuna at this point,
which is around 150 years in
the underworld. All right,
let's get back into it.
The Underworld Asuna are staying
behind for Kirito. Honestly,
I was crying like Kirito
at the end of this episode,
there are 200 plus a year. Adventure
is just beginning and I was really,
really hoping that the anime would
give us not angel wings. Hell yeah,
they did come on. Bring on that
angel goddess Asuna figure.
Even if it's hella expensive,
I'm going to get it.
And hopefully you noticed this thing
of being a parallel to both of their
avatars taking off back in SAO
season one and come on still no
kiss scene. This would have been perfect,
super missed opportunity. Come on
what do I have to do for
that? Do I have to pay for it?
Where is the anime DLC? At this point
they better apologize
with a full on sexy time.
Seen a lot of things to do in these
200 years, hashtag bunny time,
by the way for the butterfly shot here,
this looks similar to the intro scene
where Kirito entered the Underworld in the
first episode. So let me know how
much did you like this SAO episode?
I want to be surprised that most of you
also had this end scene as your favorite
two and most likely a
similar complaint of mine.
It really is a shame of how much
of Kayaba they cut out from here.
It feels like he's been reduced too
much considering how big this moment is
supposed to be for not only his character,
but setting up the stage for future
events. It really is too bad,
but unfortunately for light novel anime,
anything not related
to the current season,
it seems to be the first thing to go.
I've been noticing this a lot
too recently for ReZero.
I really do just have to stop thinking
about everything they do. Cut.
I'm getting more frustrated
about the cut kiss scene.
especially when they went out of their
way to expand in other places like the
Goddess Leafa scene, which was not needed.
The only saving grace for me for Asuna was her angel wings much deserved.
Also keep in mind without getting
into, I do want to hammer it down,
how untoward events aren't done unless
they do add some anime original scenes,
which I do hope they do.
The final two episodes should be the
epilogue next episode titled Alice.
And just for one common question from
the last episode I kept on seeing some of
you ask why couldn't Asuna and Kirito
just kill themselves to log off. I mean,
they can score this double KO,
but keep in mind both of them can't
actually log off the Underworld while
accelerating and used to
go back to one time speed.
So unless they want to join Vassago in
his limbo state it's best not to log
off early, don't reset this isn't
Re Zero. Talk about Rezero
do check out my new ReZero
videos. New episode review is up.
Let's go ahead and get those likes up
so you could enjoy those weekly too.
It's almost there and definitely
do check out Bookwalker.
If you want to know what Asuna
and Kirito were doing for 200 years,
I highly suggest reading Moon Cradle.
That side story is covered in SAO
light novel 19 and 20. Just use my
code Foxen to a sweet five dollar
discount. But if you are
craving more Asuna and Kirito SAO,
progressive is the way to go. But anyway,
bonus question there hasn't
been too much of it this season,
but what's been your favorite key to
their knots in a moment in all of Sao.
Go ahead and let me know
below definitely subscribe.
There is a big juicy SAO video coming.
That'll be fun for Kirito fans and
I'll see you guys a later.
