REACTING WITH SOMETHING WITTY CO-CREATOR!! | SAO Abridged Ep 17 Reaction

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

I can’t imagine another series in which I prefer the parody over the official series. The sibling chemistry felt so real here and I will forever thank SWE for getting rid of that stupid incest plotline.

[@MikMoen]

But ONII-CHAAAAAN!

[@Itsukazutrap]

The light novel is so much better than the anime. And yet it's still not as good as Progressive (novel again). Unpopular opinion, but Aincrad was the worst arc due to the pacing and all that is missing to make the relationships and story believable. Alfheim became kinda good and had an interesting theme, trying to criticise incest and saying "dude even if you have feelings, of wrong, learn how to kill them"

So I actually had to read the novels to understand WHY people don't like Spriggans: Each of the races in the game have a specialty in certain magics: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, etc. Spriggan magic is specifically good for illusions, stealth, and trickery. Aka: Alot of rogues, thieves, and trolls go Spriggan to assassinate, steal, and genuinely screw with all the players of Alfheim online.

Depending on how it works Illusion magic sounds like it would be an incredible griefing tool.

[@neestar054]

Episode 17 REALLY hammers home how they acted around each other, and the bits and pieces leading up to this cuts so deep now.

[@jonmercano1138]

I’ve seen people point out Kirito’s asthma and that it may be the reason for his mom pulling him out of kendo, and Suguha talking it up could’ve come off as taunting even though she might not be aware of his asthma. I had kind of a similar thought… Regardless of the reasons for him leaving kendo, Kirito still managed to find another interest that he got really into, so of course he’d stick with it. Suguha, being a child, thinks the way to get him back is to talk it up, which doesn’t work. And he’s not wrong for not going back, he should be allowed to be his own person with his own interests. On that note, to hear his sister talk up kendo so much when he’s not there anymore, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he assumed she was fine with him not being there anymore. So they both developed separate interests that took up time they used to have together, and from what she was putting out, it seemed she didn’t mind. •Also delving a bit more into the kendo stuff: Their grandfather was apparently a piece of work, caring only about Kirito and being extra hard on Suguha to get her to quit. There’s a good chance she’s piling on resentment towards him onto her resentment for Kirito, especially with her taking up the perceived responsibility of ^manning up for him after he left. She didn’t need to do that, she could’ve quit also. But if you look at how she words it, I think she truly did like kendo in spite of their grandpa’s harshness “I tried to make it seem fun, so you could realize what you were missing.” Kendo is fun! You’re missing out not being here! Unless she means he was missing out on spending time with her like he used to. But she is still doing kendo so 🤷‍♂️ ^I wouldn’t be surprised if this is why she emasculates him, having come to perceive him as weak for quitting •Also! There’s one line in her vent, only one, but I’d say extra telling, about her previous perception of Kirito. “I wanted to be just like you.” She looked up to her brother, to the point of wanting to learn the same thing he was going to. She put him up on a pedestal and thought she could be on it with him. But from her perspective, he stepped down from it and left her on it. And she took it upon herself to fill that role in the hopes that it would bring him back. All this to say she’s being very unfair to him, placing a lot of expectation and perceptions on him and being upset that he didn’t meet them. But not to say she’s necessarily wrong for doing so, because she was just a kid. I think she’s definitely wrong for how she’s been treating him without giving reason. She needs to work through all these unresolved childhood issues and also recognize that her brother didn’t stop caring for her and abandon her, _he was also just a kid._ Idk about in this, but in the original, Kirito is only a year older. I have to imagine/hope their 1v1 duel is gonna be utilized for talking this all out, because she definitely needs to let Kirito have his say on the matter. Pinwheel

[@S.A.F.T.I]

The best part of their reworked relationship is that neither are particularly in the wrong. Just things that piled up over time and spilled out. Masterful writing. I can continue to enjoy both characters even with conflict.

[@onilink134]

​@@S.A.F.T.I I especially like the fact that it completely blindsides Kirito, where it's probably been festering inside Sugu for years, even more so when Kirito was trapped in SAO. He was busy trying to not die and free Aincrad, so his sister wasn't really a priority in his thoughts, but Sugu... Despite her tough front, she strikes me as having been very worried about him, so he was in her thoughts all the time, and with those thoughts came the resentment and then the guilt for resenting him when he's basically in a coma, and it just kept piling on, and on, and on... until the masterful explosion we just witnessed. Just flat out amazing character work and voice performance.

[@dolofonosesostrefis]

In the original show, they do make clear that spriggons are presented at character creation as the sneaky, backstabbing fairy. Complete with illusion magic and treasure finding skills. Meaning that they have the same stereotype as rogues in d and d. It was not until the abridged series that any hint of real-life racism was apparent, to me at least.

[@collecter343]

Wasn’t it a thing in ROTJ where we weren’t sure whether Luke was still good or not because of the dark clothes and choking out Jaba’s guards? Makes sense why the robes were picked for the Jedi if black was supposed to be ambiguous.

[@Avenger85438]

@collecter343 I think that was just because they were still developing what was and wasn't associated wirh the dark side yet. As they said in the video, Luke's black get up was meant to be the official Jedi uniform, as they were originally conceptualized as a type of Preatorian guard, before evolving into the Knight Errant image they are now recognized as.

[@alicepbg2042]

...cousin? they are siblings.

[@gabouchar9977]

​@@alicepbg2042They are cousins in the actual show. If I'm not mistaken on this (I haven't watched the show in years, so sorry for possible mistakes), they were raised as siblings and their parents never told them the truth about it. Kirito found out about it when he was younger (like 12 or 14) which made things akward for him and he distanced himself from her, and she found out while he was stuck in Sao. That's why she fell in love with him, because cousins being in love is somewhat okay in Japan (I think it's legal, and at least used to be somewhat accepted).

[@Zachattack1cub]

@alicepbg2042 No, they actually *are* cousins. What had happened was that Kazuto was adopted into their family at a very early age, likely while Suguha was still an infant, and thus she grew up completely around Kazuto from the moment she had cognizance. Meanwhile, Kazuto likely had vague memories of his real parents, and when he grew to around 12-14 years old he had asked their mom about it and she deemed him ready to know the truth. And thus the awkward atmosphere between Kazuto & Suguha blossomed as we knew it in the original show.

Funny thing, SAO Abridged will always be held special to me. It's the reason I started watching anime properly. Before that, I'd just seen Princess Mononoke (still best) and Akira. YT randomly recommended SAOA episode 4 to watch one day. I think ep 4 was the latest out at the time. I didn't know what SAO was, but by fate I clicked it. The quantum super computer line won me over. Watched the previous episodes. I decided to watch the official show to know what they were parodying. Liked it. YT then recommended DBZ Abridged. Watched a few episodes, liked them. Figured I'd watch some other popular anime, and made a list to watch while waiting for the next SAOA episode. SAO, DB, DBZ, FMA/FMA Brotherhood, Cowboy Beebop, etc. I was pretty much hooked and have been watching them ever since. So all the SWE guys and gals are BAMFs in my book. P.S. The last time I interacted with SWE on twitch you were doing your RPG thing. One of the character's got his dick destroyed. I think the words "every ruined hole in your ruined dick" was said and it declared that nobody could top it. I took it as a challenge. I commented "roll for Carrie to play it like an ocarina. It was spotted and said out loud and the crew burst out laughing. I made the BAMFs laugh. I was proud. Much love to everyone. Have a good weekend.

I'd argue that episode 17's cliffhanger moment not being funny-haha made SWE's work even more worthwhile. Despite starting out as just a parody of the original, the story they came up with brought more value to the characters they developed and nurtured over the years than the original creators could ever aspire to. They took something (maybe) good, made it (definitely) great, and continue to hand-mold it into something (undeniably) grand.

Hearing SWE talk in the past, I believe it was Mack, fairly early in the show who had the idea for heading in a slightly more emotional/serious direction and wasn't sure Matty would go for it. I'm so glad they did though, because their funny/serious balance is fantastic and really sets SAOA apart.

This is the reason why I love abridged so much. It actually made me feel emotional on such a deep level

[@Agamotto57]

Ooh a look behind the scenes? I didn’t expect such a treat! My head be spinning like a pinwheel from excitement

[@Wixvhen]

I feel bad for that guy with the giant pinwheel. Prolly meant a lot to him. Until maintenance got rid of it.

[@collecter343]

Not really maintenance, more the methheads got too out of control

[@lucasbroome1048]

And you were worried about this season... lol

[@IanCaine4728]

Such a cool special guest!

[@TheArcSet]

Wow, thank you to both of you. DS1 Catacombs boss. Such a good rewrite.

[@WaveK89]

First of all, if anyone at work steals my lunch, they will rue the day they even bothered existing. Second, damn do I love how hard the VA for Suguha went for that last scene. 100 out of 10 performance!

[@djmagichat1721]

Pinwheel. Now that that's over, this is dope and I am excited to watch. I had another hell of a week today.

[@dragonnsv9710]

Dang been awhile glad this series was still going!

[@DemelicosHelsaint]

The ending still makes me cry ;~;

[@Skybound-wd4pm]

Something I see in reactions when saoa gets serious is how they start looking for the humour, and struggling to find it. It reminds me of “Art is Dead” by bo burnham. The laughter is uncomfortable, they try to find humour simply because it’s what they’re primed to expect, but there is none, and all you have left is the genuine masterful emotion and pain.

They're take on the sibling relationship was so much better than the original. That and the missing gamer mentality.

[@clarisacalderon9555]

Also just resized kirito finding out leafa js his sister IS very luke skywalker.

[@syranas]

Oh have fun you great blooming Pinwheel!

[@undeathghost5627]

I knew it was coming. I knew where it was going to end. And when it happened I still screamed "YOU CAN'T END IT THERE YOU BASTARDS!" at the screen when I saw the end-cards appear. I was so unreasonably angry even though I knew it was not only the obvious place to end it but the only place to end the episode. Something Witty Entertainment truly know how to transform this show to the next level.

[@refurbishedtechpriest9076]

Look at you Alicia, making connections and snagging prime co-hosts. I'm legit happy for you. Also... Pinwheel. 🐀

[@GrimmBones]

12:50 Fun fact, according to Google: "The first electric domestic refrigerators were invented and produced by Fred W. Wolf of Fort Wayne Indiana in 1913."

[@TheDrCN]

Somebody got wires twisted in the timeline. This serious and touching story about siblings trying to fix a broken familial relationship got put in the Abridged, and somebody accidentally put the stupid weirdly horny parody version into the original series.

[@5Klo5]

Therefore created a paradox in which if not for original SAO, SWE would not make this plotlike in the Abridged
