⭐ SAO Alicization War of Underworld Ep 28-29: Watch Along & Analysis

Alice at this point has the highest system control authority (sacred arts) of anyone except one person. I can't tell you who it is because it's a spoiler. At least outside of any of the God Accounts. God accounts all have their own unique abilities which should be already obvious based off what stories you already have been told about them. For reference the Dark God Emperor Vecta is the same God that supposedly steals peoples memories etc like when Eugeo asks Kirito if he is a lost child of Vecta. That is the account Gabriel is in. And even without Quinella/Admin they are still forced to obey the Taboo Index. Code 871 is still in place (the right eye) dark Territory has that code as well though they are under a different thing they must obey. But they must obey Vecta's orders.

Fyi the subbed version is also on hulu. Hulu has almost every anime on it. English dub of war of underworld is only if you have live tv with hulu for the moment but will be added to the regular probably when it is done airing on tv. I'm not sure your version is cut or edited but everytime i start my episode a few seconds ahead of yours and always ends up behind you through out the episode even if I fast forward to before you again.

First off there are no levels in the Underworld, There are 3 stats, Object Control Authority, HP/Life, and System Control Authority, The 70 is Vassago's The dark Knight account object control Authority not his level. You must also Remember Both Kirito and Alice gained massive level ups after beating Administrator and the Prime Senator. Mr Miller's name is Gabriel Miller and his GGO and gaming name is Subtilizer. He was the one who won the first Bullet of Bullets and I believe he won Bullet of Bullets 4 which was the most recent one. Which he won only using a combat Knife. This has all already been explained By Sinon. You will find out what Subtilizer means later. Lipia obviously looks a lot like Fanatio which is also why when the Dark Knight Shasta (her lover) hesitated and probably didn't fight that hard when facing Fanatio. You did miss a after credit scene which SAO does here and there, first after credit scene was either the first or second episode. When Gabriel eats Lipia's soul that is his imagination and willpower at work. He has had this desire since Child hood and never experiences it when Killing either in real life or other games like GGO. But because of the power of incarnation and willpower he know has that power. I will also say try to remember conversations through out the seasons of both Kirito and Asuna having conversations about memories and their significance with the soul. Also remember how important memories are in the underworld. The most powerful weapon are is Release Recollection which is releasing all the weapons memories. Memories are power and partly alive in the underworld. Much of the characters that seem short in the Anime are far more explored in the light novels. The entire world is. I told you the ride will be crazy and epic, well you are now at the top of the highest point on the roller coaster before you drop. Things from season 1 and season 2 the movie and even the first part of Alicization all play huge parts coming ahead, it all ties together, it all matters. Also The final load test is what Cardinal was talking about with Kirito and then Kirito was talking to Quinella? Admin about. it's also part of the after credit scene you missed after the last episode. This was always planed for the Dark Territory to invade the human Empire. This is what they were preparing for. The reason the dark Territory is invading is because in the dark territory, resources are limited and they don't have a lot of food and other resources like the Human Empire.

I think Kirito thinks of Alice as an older sister, but Alice's love for Kirito is something more. I am just not sure she realizes it.

This might be a bit long, but this series is something I really enjoy. The novels give a lot more backstory to most characters which the anime cuts out (Including what went on after Gabriel killed Alicia). For example, Lipia had always been looked down upon by people like the mages and her classmates during the academy. This was because Lipia, as a woman, had decided to become a knight unlike everyone else, which led to the constant harassment and bullying (She also was running a nursery for abandoned children). The guy from the Assassins guild that shot Shasta was actually with Shasta during the academy, but was beaten by him so he basically left and had been planning to assassinate him ever since (At some point he was picked up by assassins guild and there more to that character but it would be too long to write). There’s a lot more stuff, but you’ll find out when you read the novels. I think someone had mentioned before (or maybe not) but always try to stay after the credits since there is almost always an after credits scene. There's also a whole thing with the author using the word love all the time but using in different ways. Theses loving someone like you would a friend, and then there's loving someone romantically, (You might want to keep that in mind moving forward) but apparently people can't tell the difference between both, which is why people always end up saying every girl is in love with Kirito. Anyway, there's quite a few things about Accel World that you need to know before starting it, but ill comment about it for next week as this comment is long enough as it is. As a relating fun fact, Accel World was the first series that Reki (The author) got published in 2009 but was the third and newest series he had written up to that point with SAO being written from 2001 up to Alicization in 2007(Which was the original ending of SAO, and yes, that means that the first arc is almost 20 years old) and “The Isolator” in 2005 (Great series btw). I recently found your reactions and have now binge watched the entirety of the SAO ones. Thankfully, I was free all day on Saturday which allowed me to do that, but I’ll continue watching from here on out, and even if I don’t have much to comment for the reactions, I will at least provide a fun fact about the series that you, along with many others, might not know about.(Although I’m sure I have a lot to comment on since I’m very passionate about this series since it has helped me out a lot). I'll also answer any questions you have about the series moving forward,

The Dark Knight account was level 70, Emperor Vect, didnt have a level, it was just ?????. Yeah i was surprised and annoyed at the treatment of the two head Dark Knights, they were introduced, they were interesting, they were dead. Just an LOL, you watched the ED of an episode for the first time...and it was an episode with a post credits scene, but you stopped JUST before the scene started, lol. (its not overly important, but you can go back and watch it if you want.) And yes, the Second in Command of the Dark Knights, looks almost exactly like Lieutenant Commander Fanato, the second in command of the Integrity Knights, i was very confused at first as well. Apparenly the original plan to force the creation of a AI was the "Final Load Test." Where the Eastern Gate would fall and the Dark Territory and Human Empire would fight for survival. And it has now begun.
