Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 12, the Sage of the Library is here and well... To make it very clear to Sony Music Entertainment Japan, I now do need to use the word "Review" for my content, because apparently, my concept was not clear enough to keep the copyright abuse away.
Anyways, we are finally done with the contents of Sword Art Online Volume 11, Alicization Turning, with Kirito and Eugeo managing to withstand Eldrie Synthesis 31 and run away from Deusolbert Synthesis 7 with the help of the Observer and Cardinal and take refuge inside the Great Library Room! Once Eugeo is away, Cardinal changes her tone to speak serious matters with Kirito. What was Underworld and what it became over more than 400 years of history and how Quinella, the Administrator, the Pontifex of the Axiom Church rose to power!

[@aditya34859]

And one more thing, before she merged with cardinal system was she able to perform functions of cardinal system like creating animals ?

[@Gamerturk]

No, she could not. And she still could not. She just tried to overtake her authority levels. Cardinal System still exists to balance the world and generate content when need be.

[@chevaliershakka]

Thank goodness ! A-1 actually did a wonderful choice for once ! Sure we had some cuts in the fight, but since the next episodes we'll probably be action packed, it didn't bother me that much. We also miss some details here and there but I could bear it. Anime can't be as detailed and comprehensive as the LN. The best Christmas Gift was the backstory of Quinella in the shape of a flash-back. Because Dear Lord it was painful in the book. I have great respect for Kawahara's work, but damn he sucks about writing exposition. It's always (almost) people eating/drinking on a café/picnic/whatever-you-name-it and talking... just enumerate facts that we need to know in order to make the plot progress. And so far the Anime thought it was a good idea to do the same. What a nightmare... I know it's sometime unavoidable to have those moments. But Kawahara used that process almost like it was the only way to do it. The saddest part is that in the bottom, the story of Cardinal and Quinella is not bad. But in the form, even for a book, it was lazy . Hopefully this time A-1 didn't disappoint and made the best thing to do. It's not very often (it's almost never), but for once I prefer the Anime version. So yeah ! Just for that, it was a great episode ! And nice video !

[@Gamerturk]

Actually, once the episode ended, I was quite happy that they shortened the Eldrie fight to focus on Quinella's story! If they included all the details that I mentioned in the fight, that would come at the expense of History Lessons, which I'd be more angry about!

[@chevaliershakka]

I couldn't agree more with that. The Eldrie fight was mostly to give us clues on how Integrity Knights are "born" anyway. The Anime kept the essential about that, so it was fine ! Not perfect but well enough !

[@jeffmarcus5124]

I'm kinda sad that the talk ablout feudalism got cut. I think it adds a lot to the underworld. What do you think?

[@Gamerturk]

Yeah, the anime kinda did a shortcut right into Quinella's story there, but it's still present as a concept that anime-only viewers can catch up on. I'm not all too sad about it, but even one or two sentences could have clarified that rift being created between commoners and nobles.

[@drarp]

Bro, this was another great video. You've managed to deliver great material even when shackled with copyright restrictions ---that's awesome! I remembered Kirito and Eugeo's fight against Eldrie being much more complicated, strategic, and longer in the novel than in the anime, and your review just proved me right. On that note, I've gotta say I'm quite disappointed in the anime's handling of this and the previous fights, and this worries me when I think of the upcoming battles (especially the fights involving _the_ bad guy, which had lots of monologues and narration, which don't seem easy to translate to animation). Anyways, see you in two weeks, hope to finally watch your OS video, and Merry Christmas to you, my friend. Thanks for all your hard work. Stay cool!

[@Gamerturk]

Thank you for the kind words! It's surprisingly hard to make do with such small amount of visuals and it becomes even more problematic when said visuals are Anime Original like the 4 Originators, but I do my best :/ As for the fights, I had 0 issues with previous fights in general. Eldrie fight I did have issues with, but looking at the time constraints, they were crunched and had to finish V11 in this episode. I'm honestly surprised and am happy about the fact that they decided to prioritise Cardinal and Quinella exposition than the fight itself. And a Merry Christmas to you too, Stay Cool~

[@aditya34859]

Wait ,so you are saying that cardinal system fused with her automatically . I thought she did something as a result of fusing her with the cardinal system

[@alphy432]

Time for Alicization Rising! Did the Cardinal System was the system of SAO? and if yes does she know exactly who is Kirito and has she met with Yui? Because if I remember correctly, SAO was using the Cardinal System and Ordinal Scale was using the Ordinal System. I tough it was weird that she didn’t remember Kirito especially since he was the one who defeated Kayaba. Thanks for making these episode review! I really like to know the cut scenes it give more sense to there actions and your video are really good!

[@vaniljacob]

Alphy This is a different Cardinal apparently.

[@Gamerturk]

It is the same Cardinal. Think of it like you have a game on your PC and your friend has the same game on his PC. You both have the same game, but you have different settings, different save data, different accounts etc. It's the same Cardinal included in the Seed, the Balancing Program, but not the one that was directly present in Aincrad. Cardinal is a program with no real "memory", hence why he does not remember Kirito, but the reasoning behind why she has a body etc now in Underworld will be explained next Episode, so I won't be spoiling those here :3

[@olafsnowman673]

So my question(s) is, when Cardinal tells Kirito that Quinella fused her fluctlight with the Cardinal system, why did Kirito appear to be shocked by that? What did that mean for Quinella?

[@Gamerturk]

That is actually explained in the last minutes. The Cardinal System is more or less the one above all in terms of permissions, aside from the Super Users from real life, but the system itself is bound by its programmed directives. Quinella was not aware of this, but Kirito did. It's a balancing system for games. The main directive is to "Preserve", not "Rule Over" or "Reign Supreme". Kirito realized that with this one action, Quinella had indeed become what her name suggested, the Administrator, but at the same time, had limited herself to the restrictions of the Cardinal System, its programming. As for Quinella, that meant she no longer could seek power. All she could seek was an everlasting world in balance. But that story will continue in Episode 13, so it's not over yet.

Spoiler question. If asuna later joins the main plot, is she able to use the sacred arts properly because her English is good ?

[@Gamerturk]

Without going into any spoiler territory to answer your question, yes, that would be correct. The better you are in actual english, naturally, the better you would be in Underworld's Sacred Arts. Its very similar to ALO, but there, its more Nordic language iirc, so nobody knows the chants and just recite the sounds :P

[@ferus863]

spoiler question!!!! who is the bad rath guy?

[@vaniljacob]

Ferus Which one? In Episode 11 or 12?

[@Gamerturk]

Spoilery Plottwist: Both Episode 11 and Episode 12 Bad Rath Guy are the same people. That's why it was teased in the previous episode irl.

[@vaniljacob]

Gamerturk Are they really though? If OP was talking about Vecta, then it would obviously be Subtilizer, but I don't know if he sent Yanai as the spy or not.

[@Gamerturk]

Yes. Yanai was one of the 4 originators, not Subti.

[@Mewsakura3927]

Time for Alicization Raising! Now it's time for shit to hit the fan and time for some really good stuff to show up :3

[@stonemario6173]

Now I have something to say, I first thought that Eugeo couldn't break any taboo because the system itself wouldn't allow it. Thing is Rath wants their artificial fluctlights to break the taboos. And when Eugeo tries to break a taboo, in his right eye "SYSTEM ALERT CODE:871" appears, I thought the system was stopping him. But that doesn't make sense, and it also wouldn't make sense if it wasn't the system. But now that Quinella is introduced it all makes sense.It was Quinella who made it so Eugeo couldn't break the taboo index, not Rath. Right?

[@Gamerturk]

Quinella just introduced the Taboo Index. Code 871 is not her doing as it existed even before the Taboo Index. The "morals" that the kids were thought by the Original 4 are also bound by the seal. More on that will be explained next episode, so I'll leave it at this for now to not spoil you ;)

[@shugaurushugs7923]

Spoiler question How Will kirito leave thé underworld

[@Gamerturk]

That question poses multiple issues for me. First off, it requires a multi-layered answer due to significant plottwists that affect his condition. Secondly, The official translations are not even that far into the story yet and even Defan very recently published that part of the story as his Fan Translations. I simply do not have the final knowledge since I have not yet read Volume 18.

[@StrictlyAnon421]

Spoil me please, does Eugeo die?

[@Gamerturk]

Your wish is my command: Yes.

[@Gamerturk]

When you reply to a spoiler comment, you should either use the same spoiler hiding trick (adding blank lines so the spoiler is not previewed) or answer in such a vague manner that nobody would understand what my answer hidden behind "Read more" was.
