OMG this episode was insane!!

[@El2ro]

I know!

[@vilyanexp]

Yheee you'r right

[@caitlynnsmiles3328]

This is why everyone has mixed feelings about this season... All I can say is there is still a couple episodes for a reason.... I can't wait for GGO (next season), and hopefully Alicization one day. Great video as always Suzy!

This is why I love watching her reactions. Because she really gets invested into the anime and truly gets attached to the characters.

[@MelonTheAnimator]

Cassandra Lee Morris (Suguha's VA) performance in this episode is fucking incredible. An all-time great bit of voice acting.

[@Kraytdragn]

Agreed. Shes a pro. Strongest voice performance no doubt.

[@DBT1007]

But.. Yuki Kaji's wife did it better.

[@RymeofDawn]

If you want best voice acting of all time look up "When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace- I don't understand". Best scene ever I got the chills listening to it. The best part is that it was all in one take.

[@DigimonFan814]

Yeah, she does do a great job. Honestly though, I pretty much love all of the main character voice actors in SAO (Cherami Leigh, Bryce Pappenbrook, Stephanie Sheh, Christine Marie Cabanos, Sarah Williams, Patrick Seitz, Kirk Thornton, then Michelle Ruff and Erika Mendez from the second season). Also, even though this was the role I first heard Cassandra Morris in, I'll always associate her with her role as Taiga in Toradora!, where she also gives a fantastic performance.

[@rere9991]

This episode was a emotional fest T_____T Sugu's VA did a stellar job at that scene you could literally feel her heart breaking. The worst part is getting heartbroken then after trying to move on and develop feelings for someone else, it turns out to be still kirito and then getting her heart broken twice and shattered it was painful to see tbh. Also if you notice her speech most of her anger and hurt comes from Kirito distancing himself from her more than the unrequited love

[@hedgegaming7805]

A moment of silence from 14:53 to 17:58....truly a moment of speechless

[@attackontitanfollower]

I ended up doing one of Erens break downs (like from season 2 of AOT) when I saw this

[@albagrifoll6598]

As a viewer I wanted Kirito to find Asuna asap but at the same time I didn't want Sugu's heart to break...

[@th6410]

Kirito’s monologue kinda explains the point of this arc. It’s not that he’s cocky, it’s just the realization of reality. We need to moved on from the fantasy which is arc 1, to the real world and how harsh it is (consider the weird stuff regarding that bastard and tentacle thingy), how small and limited we are... This is like a transition where “nothing will end, nothing will begin” if nothing is done. It might also explain why some people including me love Aincrad that much, much more than the following ones. Maybe deep down we all have dreamed about that fantasy world, everything is so beautiful there that when it ends, we feel like facing the tiring things in daily life again.

[@TheDVNE]

Suzy’s reactions literally give me life, there were so many feelings during that segment. Even Leafa’s voice actress reacted to it and brought up a lot of feelings as well even voicing that part, so happy Suzy could react to this, hope she reacts to SAO Season 2, Part 2.

[@RoyalFusilier]

It's hard not to feel bad for Suguha here. That's the real doomed love; a family member, and the show, and even she, knows, like. It's never going to happen. Ever. But it still rips her up inside. Leafa/Suguha basically carry this entire arc; I was able to watch through it to the end, uh, pretty much entirely due to her.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

That's probably why so many don't like this arc. They just ignoring all that drama and focusing on other things like the faction conflict or the sci fi stuff or Asuna's family stuff with her deranged fiance. . . wait her family stuff is drama too. Maybe they just don't like Suguha?

[@Kusogaki_ch]

[@DigimonFan814]

Yeah, this episode is really good, even if it is heartbreaking. It's nice to see everything come to a head, and as much as people love to rip on this arc, I love that it still treats this story respectfully; Suguha is a really tragic character, and even if her feelings are uncomfortable, you feel sorry for her because she knows that they're not right and tries to push them away, only for fate to be particularly cruel. It reminds me more than a bit of the storytelling style that you would get in a traditional Greek tragedy.

[@Great_Olaf5]

This is where one of the big themes of SAO comes to the forefront again, the fact that no matter what barriers we on our lives, even ones as literal as an entire artificially constructed world where we choose new names and take on new faces, those barriers are just constructs, and they are not absolute. No matter how we try to separate our actions in one context from those in another, they're still our actions, and they still have an impact on us and those around us. The decision (by mass agreement, for anonymity) to try and segregate real life and virtual life is what led to this tragedy taking place. If it weren't taboo to talk about real life in games, Suguha and Kirito could have both known from the start exactly who the other was. She still would have had the problem of trying to get over her cousin, but she (probably) wouldn't have fallen in love with him even harder in the process of trying to do so.

[@coma70se]

Such an amazing view. Not many people take note of that especially on their first viewing but it's something that comes up prominently in SAO. This isn't even the first instance of it in the anime but it's certainly one of the most powerful

I forgot how much of a clusterfuck of emotions this scene was. I thought this was about the love stuff but it just encompassed their entire relationship. Regardless your views on the incest part it's a pretty emotional scene. I feel like people put way too much thought into that subject, they act as if sugu had no shame over some incest stuff. she clearly felt terrible about liking a family member. Also...it's fucking anime xD weird shit happens all the time. so rip :p great video Suzy.

I can tell by your genuine reaction that you are someone who has experienced heartbreak like Sugu has. I know, because I‘ve also been there before. It was so easy for people to dismiss this arc but it does a really good job showing us Kirito and Sufi’s relationship. Yes it’s not as strong as the first arc (or the one after this), but I never tell anyone to skip it. Also, this was my first time watching the dub, and wow Sugu’s English VA absolutely captured the emotions of that scene.

Yepp this episode shows the "real danger" of MMOs, special when NOT using voice chat ( TS, Discord and so on ) in the guild / party. I have been through that a lot. On the other hand i met my 2nd rl-wife in a MMO and we had some wonderful years.

Everyone have their own specific favorite arc in SAO. But SAO is good because it has done a nice work in showing the character development of Kirito throughout the series.
