I love that Eugeo is literally the reason Kirito's Fluctlight got burned so badly, and he's the reason Kirito was able to restore it. BEcause the Kirito from the Underworld, the one who lived at least two years there, more time than he lived on Aincrad, is just a big part of himself than the other's remembers. With Asuna, Sinon and Sugu, they had the memories from Kirito from the REal World, SAO, ALO and GGO., But the one with the backup of his own identity inside underworld was Eugeo. Since Eugeo fused himself with the Sword, then died, his own memories are part of the Sword now, so I guess that's why the object that connected to Kirito is actually the name of the Object of the Blue Rose Sword.

8:30 you know in that state Kirito wasn't thinking about why or how he killed these people regardless of them deserving this or not. He was seeing himself harming others and that made him think and believe "I'm a murderer and a person who hurt others so I don't deserve the love that people are giving me" it was this thought that was stopping him from waking up

[@rizalw110]

The last scene when both of them saying okaeri and tadaima is basically the reversed version when Kirito finally meet awaked Asuna in the Hospital on the last episode of S1

[@sekage_2854]

I fucking love how much of justice they gave to the Asuna VS PoH fight. The animation artstyle, the beauty of her with wings looking like na angel. And Yuuki cheering her up even after death. And yes, she used the skill she got from Yuuki, by imagining it in the Underworld. Also Kirito's mind is done so well. The whole destroying his own heart thing hurts so much everytime. And the fact, that Asuna or Sinon or Sugu couldn't help him, because he needed a forgiveness from his best friend. SO MANY GOOD SCENES, and we got our GOAT back. With such a nice entrance. And ideal showcase of why Bercouli told, that he's will is horribly strong. He showed it with the hand protection. Only by will. Can't wait for the next episodes!

[@diegoabelsarao1919]

13:22 A detail in the adaptation for the Latin Spanish dubbing is that this dialogue was changed to "Hola amor ya estoy de vuelta" (Hello love, I'm back).

[@Phantom_373]

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I think that attack Asuna used on PoH was the mothers rosario technique she got from yuki

[@hafdoy]

yes

[@RiseStreamer]

Was it not obvious?

[@Phantom_373]

@@RiseStreamer well I quite literally haven’t watched this episode since it aired so I wasn’t certain. But yeah I guess it is pretty obvious

[@DmzDmngo]

yes, it is mother's rosario

[@chiannecoleman5546]

Yes it was the 11 hit combo😆😆😆😆

[@GatsuLynex]

I wish I have homie like Kirito, my man doesn't wake up when his wife called but woke up when his bro called

[@prashantpatade4756]

Remember when Asuna wake up in hospital from ALO and Kiriti said Welcome back to Asuna and Asuna replied I m back they both did it vis versa in this episode

[@Emiliodelgado25]

Yep I even liked it when Yuuki spirit also came to aid Asuna in her fight with that monster Man these characters have a great bond

[@rampantkitsune450]

It was nice and I love Yuuki but I just don't think they incorporated the scene very well in the anime. Everytime the music changed was just too... sudden, I guess, and where usually music makes scenes more impactful in anime the change was too drastic that it just kinda ruins the scene for me.

[@furiousdestroyah9999]

13:26 He knows too much 🤣

[@Kirito843]

Well Neel, a lot of what you think is from a viewer perspective, which is probably why you don’t understand what Keita was doing when he decided to dive off the edge. In hindsight and viewer perspective, of course we have a reason to say it’s stupid because we aren’t the ones experiencing it, but then the moment we put ourselves in their position, you realize that it’s actually a pretty realistic thing for someone to do in such a harsh circumstance. Keita and his friends were trapped in a foreign world that kills them if they aren’t careful. In essence, SAO became reality. This new guy they never met, Kirito, comes in. He’s also, from Keita’s eyes, just some other guy who has a similar level but is introverted. Kirito lied to them so he could fit in. You also need to remember the negative stigma Kirito had as a person in SAO, and why he had no friends. So when Keita found out his friends (the only people he had in this world) ended up dying because of a person that he barely even knew and decided to let that person come into his friend group that led them to die, of course he’d be thinking irrationally in his grief. I think that’s what makes SAO so realistic despite with what people say. Everyone reacts to their grief and pain differently. Some people react like Keita, others bottle their emotions up like Kirito until it explodes like we see here. That’s what humanizes them, even if they are just one off side characters. This is why Kirito feels this way. He’s literally the pinnacle of a person who blames himself for everything even when it’s out of his control. He’s so young yet he’s put through situations that a typical teenager, even ADULT would never deal with. And in a world that’s so realistic like SAO, (literally, SAO isn’t that far away from us in terms of timeline placement, the only difference is that SAO’s world government put money into VR way sooner than we did) we get realistic characterizations that are different from typical Shonen anime characterizations. Not everyone deals with their trauma the same, not everyone can go out in a blaze of glory, not everyone has the mental fortitude to keep fighting when their friends are gone.

[@chiannecoleman5546]

And you know there is so much argument on why Eugeo was the one to wake him up and not just Asuna and the other two girls it’s because he spent two years with him and training him he saw himself in eugeo so his death took a major toll on him and not only that he now remembers that they are childhood friends so it make sense why he need that ok from eugeo but yes the three main girls did help a lot

[@Destruire_esa_ilusion]

and if we count they chilhood...is like 16 years of memorys

[@xhanker1352]

"A true man never dies, even when he's killed" - Kamina

[@rayzen119]

Asuna did that.. she raised the earth a bit under his foot so the attack just grazes her. xD

[@WeebKun-qi9gs]

Asuna meets Yuki under tree. Yuki dies Kirito meets eugeo under tree. Eugeo dies Moral learnt: don't meet anyone under tree😂😂

[@Emiliodelgado25]

I understand why Kirito would want to keep holding back from being back to normal because it’s not just about losing Eugeo it’s about remembering the tough things and people he hold dear to his heart and the tough person he’s becoming when it comes to him fighting. To me I just think he should’ve just forget about what happened to the past where he failed and keep moving forward, and he can, because in the first episode of sword art online alicization he told us about what he wants to do when he graduates 🎓 And he wants her to be a part of it, and she agrees with it that was something I guess the problem was after what he been through last season just brought him back to remembering the tough times in his state. But I’m glad he’s back to normal.

[@regulist3444]

Neel, i think you watched after Higa(hacker good guy) precisely, in the end of the season) especially what he did and who was speking to, just to understand the level of mental strength to know yrself and don't break as it was shown in the first episodes of Alisization on Raft And, the moment with shield, yes Goldeyes Kirito is always OP

[@jazperpascual2078]

were almost there boys

[@user-wm7lv9yp5f]

A-1 Pictures the goat unlimited budget!!🔥🔥

[@nicklopez3133]

The moment he gets his hand back. ^^

[@Kuro_Neko420]

neel about to see peak SAO on the next episodes

[@Neitive]

[@allengrove1864]

[@fukiruhd]

[@Agemus6139]

The guy killed himself due to survivors guilt. It happens a lot irl.

[@Incredible_Master]

Oh yeah boys we're almost there next episode it is THE come back and BTW that was the skill that yuuki gave Asuna back then

[@ivan2105jr]

I would love if you rewatched the openings again

[@nurusds3]

Those particles effects was just so gorgeous.

[@carrotcrafts003]

I suggest watching danmachi ( is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon) anime after completing this. It's an amazing series and will be worth your time for sure.😊😊😊

[@TRGha770]

the kirito scenes are the best in the whole show in this and the next episode

[@chiannecoleman5546]

Tbh I believe Asuna won this fight if it wasn’t for the mate chopper that absorbed all that negative sacred power she would have killed him…this is my favorite Asuna fight because this shit is badass then again she’s a badass in general…and she’s the only person who can up against Kirito and WIN except for Yukki ❤

[@Emiliodelgado25]

You know, I even discovered why do you even show in memory of when he fought Sugou because even though Sugou deserved what was coming with each attack the way, his face look it look a bit too much pain that make kirito feel like he was literally trying to kill him in such a brutal away and that’s a kirito is not the kind of person he wants to be.

[@riskiananda3781]

I have been waiting for this!

[@allengrove1864]

Can't wait for the next one let's go

[@sas23410]

get ready for one of the best next episodes!

[@daleA91]

Hey Neel, if you're taking anime requests try the anime: Arifureta shokugyou de sekai saikyou. Otherwise known in English as Arifureta from commonplace to world's strongest.

[@danialshazmi1898]

I hope u will be happy with the ending

[@julesvr5205]

PoH actually died from Asuna's attack, but his weapon kept him alive

[@SlimeTenseiImpact]

13:26 to 13:29 the sequence of him seeing the ed was glorious. cliffhangers suck so much.... and if it happens to a game you know you will be pissed off, "cought" "cough" (Honkai Imapct 3rd)

[@samuelchensantoso9677]

Lets goooo saving this for tomorrow

[@yuukiggentleman]

after this i really wanna see the Abridged SAO reaction and the 2 yt videos what it did better that the anime XD

[@lorenzrafaelpitogo6433]

Next episode for me is the best episode of this season

[@hin0te190]

it sucks bercouli never got to see Kirito return and witness his battle prowess ;(

[@Shehzaad_95]

Neel after every episode ending 😑😑😑😑

[@misakamikoto48]

Yah this ep is one of my fav in this season such a banger/hype 🔥 And seeing all the old characters in this season makes it more nostalgic. I don't know to others but First season of SAO is still my fav it have something that I can't explain maybe the characters also the plot where it all started cause I love to play computer games before, I relate to it more. Somehow season 3 reminds me of Isekai world more than Online Game genre. I like the First arc and the GGO online cause I used to play counter strike and some old pc games when I was still a kid. But don't get me wrong I still like all seasons of SAO. I don't know why others hate this anime its actually better than other isekai anime without plot (I didn't mean isekai anime with good plot cause I like some isekai anime too) maybe they just want to ride the hate train of this anime before, cause if I remember SAO is pretty popular when it first released it became one of the talk of many anime fans and they have a lot of merchandise but because of its popularity a lot of haters came and the rest is history. I still think SAO is still popular but not as popular when it first released. ( It because of that haters who always think this anime is bad & makes new anime fans think it is really bad)

[@taiyo-sama6332]

a lot of people think SAO is bad cause of ALO arc and, in War of Underworld for Leafa vs the magician bitch where there is the "rape" scene, buti i still think is one of the best ever anime released and all the seasons are goated

[@NhatNguyen-jt2nm]

hey bro. Prepare to react to the eminence. It's about to be released . 1 hour more

[@shirou_white]

Before you rewatch the opening, don't watch the same video you originally reacted to because it's missibg out the last 2 opening (its missing the last one for sure)... It would be best if you look up every opening individually and put them into a playlist...

[@french-rasulyusof1315]

Can you react Sao last recollection opening

[@rimuruuu4978]

I hope you watch the SAO PROGRESSIVE too. You'll see this 2:42

[@Aldinew354]

Thanks Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

[@bergkatze3186]

Hype!!

[@IHonestt]

The best *Enhance Armament* 🔥🤌🏻

[@carrotcrafts003]

The entire part where eugeo helps kirito to wake up was like someone was shouting GAY in my mind like he didn't wake up for 3 girls but he woke up for a pretty boy.😩😩😩

[@antisocialbeing6006]

Nah it just more of a brotherhood and Eugeo being the last straw for Kirito to wake up, its not just him all of them have impact for Kirito it just that happen he came last and the fact that he is dead makes it more sentimental

[@voltagedarth6453]

The bromance goes crazzyyy

[@Morphfow]

I'm third 🥉

[@ronarazoro]

first

[@Supremo3_rimowo]

To suck it
