[@Candoran]

Honestly I’m kinda scared... Star King Kirito gives me dangerous vibes, like he’s protecting Underworld to the exclusion of any IRL concerns. 200 years, or even part of that time if he put Her Majesty Asuna into Deep Freeze or something, is more time than Kirito ever spent in the physical world or even spent with Asuna... these sorts of timeframes can change a person. Kirito attempts to be good and help others, but if my assumption that Kirito stopped his aging the same way Quinella did is true, then he cut off most of his emotions as well. All that would be left to him would be cold, hard logic, and pure logic untempered by morals or emotional investment can be dangerous. In short, I’ve been worried about Kayaba’s plans and methods for the last 3 seasons, but I’ve finally really started to understand what makes him tick (by completely discarding his likely-obfuscating response to the initial question at the end of the Aincrad Arc 🤣). The real issue for me now is Star King Kirito’s current mindset, as I don’t know what it is but it gives me bad vibes and my vibes have hardly ever been wrong at any point in the show.

[@DVRKSTXR]

I completely agree. As Star King Kirito was talking, I got mad Quinella vibes. Cold, hardened, and detached. He may be even more dangerous than Quinella was though. While both the Pontifex and Star King have sworn themselves to the protection of Underworld, the Pontifex used fake love as a manipulation tactic to usurp power and control over the Human Empire. When really, she only ever cared about herself. Whereas, Star King has lost everything and everyone that was personally close to him, due to them all dying and him still being alive. He has nothing to lose and nothing holding him back from getting what he desires at any means necessary.

[@darkstorm2579]

@@DVRKSTXR That does make Star King more dangerous. He would probably be Kirito's hardest opponent if they ever fought.

[@denzelreyes1129]

Ponczos_22 it’s sad indeed, but they’ve already lived for centuries on end because of Quinella’s synthesis ritual. So after the war, SK Kirito and SQ Asuna returned to them the lives they should have lived, allowing them to age and then die. Especially in Fanatio’s case, since she wouldn’t want to outlive her and late Bercouli’s child. Selka is an exception to the rest because she wanted to spend time with Alice since before Alice was captured and became a knight, which is why she’s in deep freeze.

[@colin-kun3611]

Omg.. that’s really sad :/.. I so wanted them to interact with the realworlders.. hopefully Bercouli and Fanatio’s child is still around.

There’s no way I wasn’t the only one that was confused and felt bad for kirito this episode. I needed this explanation

[@darkstorm2579]

Pretty good video. It's a shame they cut out the Alfheim scene. Other than that, I'd say it was a solid adaptation. I like how the anime made sure to have Star King's voice be more intense and cold, signifying that he's very different from regular Kirito. Then there's the brief shot of himself and Kayaba. The way S.K. Kirito's eyes look and his expression that scene is great.

I've really enjoyed the alicization arc and how Kirito feels like a more complex character now compared to what we previously seen in the anime! I'm also really interested in the Star King, how the child of Fanatio and Bercouli ended up, and what happened during the 200 years in Underworld.

[@Candoran]

8:37 I really struggle to reconcile your statement here with Alice’s exact words in this moment. She didn’t know any other “real worlder” other than Kirito until basically a couple days, at most, before she left Underworld. However, while it’s impossible for her to be talking about anyone else, I GUESS “love” can have multiple meanings. Eugeo clearly loved Kirito like a brother. I doubt Alice loves Kirito like he’s her brother, but he protected her sometimes and she protected him sometimes, so a bond was definitely formed. Not necessarily romantic love, but still a powerful bond. That’s the only way I can really spin this to say she’s not in love with him. But the people making the subtitles could definitely have made it clearer.

[@GameFanaticBR]

maybe a TL note: such as "Keikaku means plan"

[@Gamerturk]

That is literally it. A huge admiration for the person who broke her shackles and showed her the true world. I always say this time and time again, if you want to see how she feels, look at her explicitly describing what and how she feels in elaborate ways in her own inner monologues. And none of that is the description of a romantic love. That's why all the way back in WoU EP5 I said what I said. That's why I talked about Alice in the episode where they sat down with Stacia. Alice has been very clear about her feelings in the inner monologues.

It's really nice how you're adding in the details from the LNs, since that--notwithstanding any flaws in the story itself--is the biggest problem with the anime, that it cuts out a lot of the details from the LNs which flesh out the story (and, in the case of Incarnation and all that, make it understandable).

#AskGamerturk I have several questions I have to ask: 1st: why did Kirito request to erase his and Asuna's 200 years worth of memories when saying their roles are done? Could you shed some light on this. 2nd: if theoretically speaking if the Star King & Star Queen were to keep their memories in the 200 yrs spend in underworld would it affect their way of living in the real world. 3rd: I know this is going to sound idiotic even Reki stated that Accel World is a different reality he said in your opinion does the Fluctlight copy of Kirito confirm or might be Graphite Edge or not? 4th: What does in your opinion the future of the Star King Persona Kirito that was copied. 5th: In the humanoid body for the artificial fluctlights do they implement the light cube cluster to it or just attach a cable to transfer the fluctlight to their android like appearance? 6th: Was there any important reason for Kikuoka to fake his death?

Star Queen and Star King I went on a 2 week hiatus of anime to further my... FFXIV addiction... >.> Lots to talk about, lots of thoughts I loved these past 2 episodes. Mostly this one, but the last one was really cool to see Kayaba still maintaining a presence and setting up for the future. Very nice indeed. But for this episode? Star King Kirito stole it. I love the shot into his eye, showing this "I've seen so much fucking shit," and Higa's reaction to it was very, very interesting. It's like as if someone who was revolted, but still had a lingering, morbidly curious thought. Star King Kirito will probably be my new favorite entity in SAO, even beyond Eugeo. I really hope next week tells us more of him, because it's the last episode. The "Even though our memory are gone, our memories will never vanish" is a really nice touch (Took me a double take to understand it, but I do think it's perfect for a one-off sentence). I don't have much else to say other than Give me more Star King stuff and Give me more of the 200 year Underworld content (Beyond just the 2 side stories, before you mention it ;) ), even if it's in a Progressive-style novel after... the actual progressive show. It should be interesting, and I can't wait for it (Because it'll make the SAO world look fucking gorgeous if it's even close to Alicization). Thank you for reading, have a nice day, and see you soon (For episode 23's explained, of course!)

#AskGamerturk thank you for your Explained series by the way, it really helps me to better enjoy it 1. Why was there no kind of explanation for Alice accepting that her world is a simulation? By this I mean, if you were in Alice's shoes wouldn't you have some type of reaction to learning that you've lived your life in what's basically a walled in garden. I would have wanted to see something about Alice adjusting to the "Real World" even if it was anime original, such as her waking up in her "real body" shocked her armor and sword are gone, try to use a few sacred arts, try to check a stacia window, etc. Obviously they have to make cuts where they can to keep the episode from being too long, but is there any mention in the books about this that was just dropped? 2. The answer to this may just be pure speculation but if you login with a account, such as what the employees would do if they were needed to go "in the world" does your appearance in the simulation change with time or no because that's just for the Artificial Fluctlights. 3. Why is it that accounts such as CD-4323 (The Master of the Sacred Arts one) only has a system control level of 20. And the rest that we see are below that, is 20 considered really good or did Rath not think they needed accounts with higher levels (not counting the SA's) because they never thought anyone would study the commands/Sacred Arts so why have one with say a System Control Authority of say 72 when the Artificial Fluctlights aren't skilled at them (before Quinella/CD1-1089 started studying) Thank you!

A few friends of mine got to nitpicking the dialogue about memories pretty quickly as they were already displeased with the dialogue writing lately namely the 'Kirito x Asuna reunite got cut' fĨasco(lol yep, a lot of them out there). And in Chinese version they actually tranlated it into words like 'memories' and 'recollection' respectively, still got them confused tho. I go back to when I saw Eugeo remebering his childhood memories before dying in front of Kirito, and the same kinda confusion struck me, and I HAD read the novels but wasn't able to remember the reasoning. Now I hope these trivial stuff don't ruin some people's immersion and motivate them to get back and watch some previous episodes to get the whole 'theme' around Alicization Again, the explaining of these videos helps.

Star King Kirito sounds so insanely evil, that it seems undeniable that he’s going to become a major complication. The fact that he literally suggested Kayaba to Higa as an ally that they could employ to help them sustain and protect the Underworld makes me think that he will become the biggest threat that Kirito has ever faced at the end of the series or at least in Season 4. Fitting that Kirito’s #1 harem fangirl, Reki Kawahara, would design Kirito’s ultimate anatagonist...as a literal copy of Kirito. Just older and better.

All hail the Star King and Start Queen! And great video Turk! Keep it up! I really enjoyed this episode. I am into all the nerdy details so this being an exposition galore was much more enjoyable to me than it might have been to others. But I wasn't expecting to be hit with the cells this hard on this episode. It wasn't just my eyes getting weat, I actually cried tears down my face like 3 different time this episode. I couldn't hold myself together with the Eugeo memories during the ED. I'm right there with you Turk, that ED was finally well used and it made me cry almost more than Unlasting. I really enjoyed this episode and I hyped to see what kind of preparation or cliffhanger becomes of the last episode. I think I'm really going to buy the novels this time around. I do have a question about that now. #AskGamerturk Where in the story do you recommend for an Anime Only to start reading? Should I go back and read everything from V1? Stat from the Alicization Saga or go on ahead to Moon Cradle, Unital Ring and/or the Progressive novels? Does it depend if the person is more inclined towards Action or Character Development, Lore or something else?

[@nitrozeus3288]

If you enjoyed the alicization arc of the anime then I highly recommend volumes 09 to 18 cause those volumes are basically what this season revolves around to. Moon cradle is an Alicization side story and you should pick it up only if you are interested in knowing what kirito and asuna did these 200 years in the underworld. These last couple of episodes are adapted from volume 18 of the alicization light novel titled Alicization lasting

[@TeixJT]

Thanks for the tip @@nitrozeus3288! I do have an idea of what happens in the story, obviously on the Alicization part, but not so much after that. What I'm asking is that from the point of view of LN reader what volumes of the story are either must read, recommend or can live without. Depending a bit on genre preferences as well, since I don't have any idea if a volume is more world building or character development than another that may be more action.

[@Gamerturk]

My usual take is just "start where the anime left off" because I know from my own experience that your brain usually goes "I already went through all this" when you try reading things you already watched. But yeah, especially the Human Realm arc is a massive exception to that imo, with Eugeo's story becoming Kirito's journey in the anime, Eugeo only becoming a sidekick. I'll answer it more thoroughly in the Q&A, but tl;dr is "Start with v9 and move up from there".

[@Gamerturk]

Natsu please, you are way too excited about things that you say too much without full understanding of what you are saying which can lead to a lot of misunderstanding. @Tin, we know some Sacred Arts fade away over time after their caster is no longer around to maintain it. And on top of that, without memory maintenance for the old Knights, they are bound to die due to memory errors even if their age remains frozen. So yes, everybody who is frozen by Kirito and/or Asuna (the only person we know is Selka) can survive due to actually being frozen, the others cannot, one way or another. But we do not know the specifics aside from the Integrity Knights order being "sealed", you can interpret that the Knights themselves are sealed frozen or the Knighthood itself, as far as I know, it refers to the Knighthood, and they banned things like age freezing by deeming it an unethical practice. So what was once the sacred Knighthood, is now just a calling like every other job. After 200 years, they are also no longer "Knights".

#AskGamerturk At this point, SK Kirito and SQ Asuna both spent the majority of their life in the UW (like 90%). So I wondered what could be their actual mindset after all this time and what did the king and queen think of and how do they relate to the « real world », their family, friends, and also their child Yui that they hadn’t seen for a long time now. Were they still attached to their past life since SAO, especially Kirito with his black swordsman persona (well he was 16 at the time) or did they switch into some kind of superior beings who at some point decided to exclusively live for the Underworld ? At least for Kirito, it seems the case when he states that he will « fight only for the Underworld » or even when he refers to Asuna as « Her Majesty » or « the queen » first instead of her usual name. Apart from that, thanks a lot for those explained videos, it's alway very interesting to know more of the Sao universe for anime only people like me ! :)

#AskGamerturk Spoiler warning The integrity knights that got their lifespan freezed by quinella should be technically still alive right?

[@Gamerturk]

There's plenty of hints that certain arts are not lasting and eventually fade away. And remember, while their life is frozen, they still have memory limitations and can't survive without regular memory maintenance.

[@chibiitachi6214]

@@Gamerturk makes sense,thanks a lot 🙏

[@jdoggivjc]

Gamerturk I thought I read or heard somewhere (and I don’t remember where, so sorry about that) that the existing Integrity Knights weren’t necessarily dead, but sealed away, mostly because of what is being said here - while their lifespans have been frozen, their fluctlights had hit their maximum. This of course excludes Bercouli, Dakira, Eldrie, and Eugeo, all of whom are actually dead. That being said, dead, sealed away, I’m probably talking semantics here. Whatever it is, they’re all out of the picture by the time King Kirito and Queen Asuna left the picture.

[@tashar02]

Star King and Star Queen. Great review again, Gamerturk. Appreciate your work. #AskGamerturk In the conversation between Higa and Star King, the anime showed the 200 year old Kirito where except for the tone of his voice and outfit, nothing seemed to change in his appearance, like a body of an old man. Did he do something like Quinella who stopped aging of herself and the integrity knights?

[@Gamerturk]

As far as we know, yes, they did not "age" physically.

[@tashar02]

@@Gamerturk Do you know the reason behind it? How was Kirito able to live for 200 years and even after that he could talk simply with Higa? Why didn't his fluctlight memory limit reach its limit yet?

[@Gamerturk]

@@tashar02 The fluctlight limit was just a theory by Higa, it wasn't a definitive limit or anything. He said they believed it would be around that time but obviously, nobody ever made proper research on it due to lack of technology or observation potential.

This episode was very awesome, Alice in the real world, the Star King with his Fluctlight copy, the Star Queen, as well, and the finale almost made me cry, because i really liked my character. 😄⭐⭐

[@georgep1595]

If the Lightcubes are meant to have a 150 year of memories limit then how does kirito's copy flucktlight (Star King) even remember anything? Did Higa modify the lighcube by giving it extra or infinite memory capacity or did the lightcube simply accepted Star King's memory amount?

[@Gamerturk]

Pretty much implied as it is the only possible answer.

[@ponczos_2293]

I just love how Gamerturk says in echoing voice "ALICE LOVES KIRITO", but the subtitles say "Alice said he loves Kirito" *wheeze* Anyway, another good video. Godspeed

[@Uruz7Laevatein]

"Star King and Star Queen" Happy Alice is Alicia and Robot Waifu. On the other hand given the extreme time dilation (like the protagonist of Interstellar) during the max acceleration phase everyone that Alicia knew and love except Selka is pretty much long "dead". Which means she's dependant on Kirito for emotional support and as a frame of reference in the Real World, or hangout with Yui in ALO. Aww well Star King was a fun final challenge boss fight in Hollow Fragment.

[@Gamerturk]

Star King was never in HF. That was just Hollow copy of Kirito.

[@Ryguy92250]

Star King & Star Queen! #AskGamerturk I haven’t read the novels so I’m not sure if these questions have been answered, nor do I have the best memory so forgive me if these Qs have been answered before, but here’s what I got: 1. If Ichemon was badly damaged by distracting Gabriel’s men while Higa went down to the cable ducts, and Niemon was boarded by Kaiyaba and nearly destroyed saving the Ocean Turtle from a bomb, and now apparently sent down to the floor to reconnect the Faster cable... What vehicle does Alice use? Edit: I think you touched on robots being more common in this timeline? Sorry if I missed it! 2. The female reporter questioned Rinko on the potential for fluctlights in the unskilled labor force, but it quickly turned into an argument for AI rights. I was curious on the point Rinko made about fluctlights not being able to be “mass produced” since they have to grow up, but what about time acceleration in the Underworld? Couldn’t they just do that? 3. I never once thought of Alice’s love for Kirito as romantic, more of a reverence for saving, protecting, and cherishing both her and her world, but did Alice ever consider having romantic feelings for him? I remember the anime scene in the tent where she stares into his eyes and thinks on how she doesn’t have the right to have feelings (I know she didn’t try to kiss him, just looking into his eyes) but I wasn’t for sure if she thought about it or not. 4. Does Asuna have memory flashbacks of the 200 years in the Underworld as well? What are her thoughts on the time spent there? 5. The goal of RATH was to make a bottom up AI for military purposes, and since Alice was being protected by Kirito and Rinko, does Kikuoka plan to still continue to develop more AI for that purpose? I could only assume so, but wouldn’t Rinko and Kirito just keep trying to stop him?

The only details of the 200 years is Moon Cradle mini arc and whatever is in Unitial Ring so not much is known for happen in this period.

As Doctor said, all we know clearly is the events of Moon Cradle, and the little flashback sequence you saw in this episode. Unital Ring is expected to shed some light on some things, but dont expect them to be actual stories, more like information drops.

I don't know how long Unital ring is im still on epilog 3 of lasting because i don't want to spoil the anime that much. thank you.

#AskGamerTurk Why Kirito and Asuna did not go for deep freeze like Selka when they were stuck there for 200 hundred years?

Because they had things they wanted to do.
