Sword Art Online episode 24

I think I am going to get my downstairs neighbors cellphones for Christmas. Like this is the year 2012. Why are people honking their horns to get the kids in the car and off to school? Why aren't you calling from the car that you are here? Why are you banging on the door RIGHT NOW at 11pm at night? Call from the car. CALL!!! Stop making so much noise when there are quiet alternatives. What the hell?

Good thing Kirito is magical weee!

Speaking of technology....Sword Art Online episode 24! I guess my problems are minor in the face of danger. Spoilers for Kirito probably being amazing.

Weird little tree yes?

Episode Summary: Yui sets to work using the pass card to break through the wall. She and Kirito are transported to the hallway Asuna was seen running in a few episodes back. Yui senses that Asuna is nearby and with her child self breaks through numerous walls and what not with Kirito following. They make it outside to the path up to the bird cage. Kirito and Yui both take a moment to note there is no place for any race to receive their permanent wings. They decide that is not a pressing issue and make it to the top. Yui flings off the door and runs to Asuna who is like MY BABY!! Kirito walks over a little slower and he and Asuna share in a private moment where Asuna says she never doubted Kirito would come for her. Yui states that they have to log Asuna out at a console and that they better go. Suddenly Yui disappears and the birdcage is no more. Asuna and Kirito are basically in nothingness and find themselves plastered to the ground. Sugou poofs in and says that he thought something was messing with the programing of the game but had no idea it was Kirito. Sugou strings Asuna up and talks to them both about how he is 80 percent of the way to coding emotions and memories and soon he will rule the world. But before he tests it out on them he is going to have some fun. He starts undressing Asuna and molesting her with Kirito struggling to stand. Sugou stabs Kirito to the ground and turns upt the pain factor, saying Kirito will soon start feeling the affects on his real body. Kirito can only watch as Sugou tries to have his way with Asuna. Kirito starts feeling bad for himself, that his pride has caused all of this.

No your face just makes me sick dude.

Suddenly Akihiko starts talking to Kirito, saying that Kirito was able to beat the program before and since this is a stolen game Kirito can do it again. Kirito suddenly is able to stand up which makes Sugou smirk. But then Kirito either logs in or obtains the powers of the player Healthcliff. Sugou doesn't understand what that means at first but Kirito brings Sugou back down to level 1 and a normal player. Sugou panics and tries a variety of things. Kirito gives Sugou a sword and turns the pain up to the highest level. Sugou tries to attack but Kirito is too amazing. Kirito slowly hacks Sugou into nothingness. Asuna is freed and Kirito starts to get upset. Asuna tells him not worry, that he is her hero. They are able to log Asuna out of the game finally and Kirito says he will be at the hospital soon. Yui reappears to Kirito and says she lives in his nerv gear now and not to worry. Kirito tells Yui he and momma will be back soon. Kirito then has an acid trip and sees Akihiko's shadow. Oh okay. He gives Kirito a seed of some sort and hopes Kirito doesn't totally hate this world. He leaves the future to him. Kirito wakes up in the real world to Suguha staring at him. She is like oh everything okay and he is like yep totally easy. They try to talk about what happened with their incest love triangle but Suguha sends him on his way to see Asuna. So off he goes THE END!

A little too much crazy for me.

That was the most anticlimactic battle I have ever seen in my life. Or ending. Battle or ending. None of which happened because there was no battle and there is another episode next week. But still. What the hell folks.

Because looking for walkways is way too much work.

Yui and her love of Asuna powered her up enough to break through walls and such. Even though it was unnecessary as Asuna got that far in the lab by just walking. I guess if we were closer to the week mark I would have understood the running and desperate nature but um....Kirito started playing this game like 24 hours ago. You got like 5 days left. Also if someone was evil enough to lock up Asuna in this virtual prison I think he might have been smart to put in some fail safes. Maybe there should have been more sneaking around and less being flashy. XD

I do like how Kirito stopped and took a moment to feel bad for all the players in the game. Like oh there is no city at the top and everyone was working hard to fly forever and it was never going to happen. Let me not cry some tears for those crazy people. They get what they deserve. There were 10,000 people trapped in a deadly game and these new kids thought it would be cool to play a similar game with similar technology. Yes let me cry more and more tears for them. What were they thinking? I mean working towards a goal to find out that goal was never obtainable is pretty sad but in the grand scheme of things..RUN KIRITO!

I say that but maybe tears have a pain factor too. X___X

I think it would have been nice if Asuna was crying and thought she was losing her mind when really Kirito was standing before her. Like oh look now I am dreaming and Kirito hugged her. But no Yui and her 24 hour daughter status got the hug first. I would have been like um this is my girl I have been working many hours to save her and all you did was make it possible. Shoo shoo.

It's going to be okay. Probably.

But Asuna and Kirito had their little reunion. I like the little head touching thing and not having some sloopy kisses. That is not really how they roll anyway. Asuna believed in Kirito and Kirito believes in the heart of the cards. All they need to do is walk Asuna to a console and log her out.

Good job Yui.

Insert the evil one!!! I am not sure what Kirito was thinking but his grand rescue sent red flags to Sugou. Maybe if someone was powerful enough to study people's souls in a game they could have thought ahead and made sure Yui fairies weren't able to be super powerful. But at least he thought ahead with the gravity spell. More ways to keep players fighting and not noticing that there was no end to the game.

Um no. It is time to fall apart into tiny little pieces.

The entire scene with Asuna getting molested/nearly rapped...just what the hell. It is messed up that Sugou wanted to trap people in a game to study how to control people. But now he is raping one of the people he trapped in the game. Is he kicking puppies and knocking little old ladies into traffic in his spare time? He is way over the top evil in a comical way. Like sorry there is no way I can take you and your creepy smile serious. But please stop touching Asuna, hasn't she been through enough?!?!?

Yeah. This is YOUR punishment. HMMMM.

Kirito having his woe is him moment....I just don't understand. Asuna being tortured in awful but why are you acting like it is your fault? It wasn't like you caused all of this. If Yui didn't sneak you in...yeah you wouldn't be there right now. So maybe you did think you were hot stuff then but it wasn't like you could have taken a gang of people with you. Only Yui got you in with your super speed stats. So it not like tons of people offered to help you and you turned them down. He had to save Asuna and I don't think Kirito was acting above the game. Just very focused...despite the fact it is just code and what not and there is only so much a person can do.

How was Akihiko still around? Random code?

But then the episode got way too special for me. WAY TOO SPECIAL! Remember Akihiko, the man behind the game and Sugou superior? The one who KILLED or caused the deaths of thousands of people? His memory came and helped Kirito out for some reason. I have no idea why since it turns out he wasn't the real person, just a figment left over. Because Kirito was able to beat him he has high regards for him? I have no idea how this happened or why but it did.

You should have started from scratch dude.

I do think it is funny that Sugou got beat because he stole the game from Akihiko. I guess it is hard to be better than someone if you stole from them in the first place. I mean...it makes sense that Kirito was able to use the Healthcliff program, just not how he found out. Sugou ended up being a loser too. He focused too much on being the GM of the game instead of like Akihiko who trained to make his stats good. Sugou was not prepared to fight and even with the best weapon in the game was taken out with a few blows. So very anticlimactic, the villain was a weak bully who had no power of his own.

Nothing says happy reunion like a present. YAY PRESENTS!

Back to happy times! Asuna and Kirito reunion part 2! I would have been more upset about the near rape but maybe Asuna needs time to process the craziness that is her life. Stuck in a game, kidnapped by a crazy person, threatened into marriage by said crazy person, and now a near rape with tentacles and a “real” person. I love how Asuna told Kirito he was her hero and he said that he wasn't really one but would try to be. Like Kirito is so tired he has no more left to give. He just needs a rest. But it must be nice to hear that your girlfriend thinks you're a hero.

Um come see me NOW please. Thanks.

But get to seeing Asuna faster. I know that you messed up Sugou pretty good and he might be dead in real life but you don't know that for sure. He might have other fail safes in place. No one will take Asuna seriously the minute she wakes up so you need to be there for her. So tell Yui you will see her later, who cares about this new game, and tell Akihiko to eff off. No dude you don't get to leave on a positive note. You don't get anything. And don't give Kirito a new world and hope he does the right thing. The right thing? He was just trapped in a video game and you want him to become the GM of another? I THINK NOT!

Asuna got a bit more WOOHOO with her reunion. Gosh Kirito.

Kirito wakes up from the game without much fanfare. I guess he wasn't in danger so it wasn't as dramatic as last time. Suguha was a bit close but not on top of him trying to get pregnant so I guess that is something. Kirito wasn't panting or crying like he should have been. Like I am going to casually take off my helmet even though I could have been terribly hurt or killed due to a virtual reality game again. Like everything is fine. And Suguha asks a few questions like oh how did things go? Like he just got back from the grocery store. They look at each other and....

Okay maybe this was Suguha saying goodbye...

And then that is it! Kirito rides his little bike to the hospital to go see Asuna and Suguha smiles away. I mean 5 seconds ago I did say that Kirito needed to get there and stop wasting time but it just felt...odd. The finding out who Kirito was and the fight in the area and the raid all happened like an hour ago. A lot was left unsaid between these two and Suguha seems to have moved on. With one episode left I guess there is a bit of time for her to look sad and then seek out Recon for support but...yeah...

THROW IT AWAY!

So one more episode left. Kirito better take that seed and throw it on the ground! Like what the heck? Is he going to feel bad that everyone didn't get their wish to fly and he is going to make that dream come true? No. Just no. But I guess Yui needs to go somewhere. I will scream though if Asuna just logs back in like she hasn't spent forever trapped in two games. Good grief.
