SAO Ep. 15 "Return" Review


*Warning: This post contains SPOILERS. If you do not want to be spoiled, DO NOT READ THIS POST
....I warned you... O.O*


Yay! Welcome to the review of episode 15 "Return" of the Sword Art Online Anime!
As I said last time, this is the first episode of Season 2! >.<
That means new character, new plot, and new opening/ending songs!!! :D (....I already said that last time, didn't I?)

This episode begins with Kirito/Kazuto waking up from a nightmare of being on the 22nd floor of Aincrad, when everything, including Asuna, starts to disappear from him.
We go to the next scene, where Suguha, Kirito's little sister, practicies kendo with her shinai (bamboo stick). Not knowing that he was watching, Kazuto surprises her, and hands her a water bottle. He lifts the shinai, stating that it was light. Suguha is surprised, saying that the shinai was considered one of the heavier ones because of the materials it was made of (Of course, Kazuto is comparing it to the Elucidator/Dark Repulser from inside SAO, but Suguha doens't know that). Then, Kazuto challenges Suguha to a kendo battle.
Once they put on their armor in the dojo, Suguha laughs at Kazuto's stance, saying that it was strange. They begin, and eventually Suguha wins.

The siblings spar...I can't really tell which is which, but I think that
Suguha is on the right and Kazuto is on the left based on how they're holding the shinai.

Kazuto then says that Heathcliff would never stand a chance against Suguha and swings and sheathes the shinai as if it was the Elucidator, confusing and worrying Suguha.
They go outside, and Kazuto says that he might pick up kendo again. Suguha is extremely happy and when she asks what he would do that day, he answers that he would visit Asuna.
Kazuto rides his bike to a hospital, narrating that 2 months have passed since he beat SAO. He traded information with the Ministry of Internal Affair's SAO Incident Task Force for Asuna's whereabouts, and learns that 300 players have still not waken up including Asuna, who was located at that hospital.
When he visits her hospital room, he meets Yuuki Shouzou and Sugou Nobuyuki, who seems overjoyed to meet the hero of SAO. Nobuyuki tells Shouzou that he would like to make "it" official and would want Asuna to wear the dress while she was still beautiful, suprising Kazuto.

God, he sickens me.

Once Shouzou leaves the room, Nobuyuki turns into a whole new person, sniffing Asuna's hair and disgusting Kazuto (as well as the viewers). He said that he was going to marry Asuna while she was in a coma and that since he worked in the Full-Dive Technology Research Division of the company currently in charge of the SAO servers, RECTO Progress Inc. (to which Yuuki Shouzou was the CEO of), Kazuto should be thankful to him for keeping her alive. Before leaving, Nobuyuki invites Kazuto to his and Asuna's wedding in a week (I should say that he knows that Kazuto/Kirito and Asuna were lovers).
Later, Kazuto goes home and Suguha enters his room to tell him that the bath was ready. She is surprised to see that he was upset, and even cried, saying that Asuna was going to somewhere he couldn't reach. Suguha then tells him to not give up, and he falls asleep. Suguha then sleeps next to him.
A flashback is played when Suguha and Kirigaya Midori (Suguha's mom) are in Kazuto's hospital room on his birthday. Midori explains that at 10, Kazuto discovered that his real parents had died in an accident and that Suguha and Kazuto were actually cousins, not siblings.

Suguha wakes up.

The next day, Kazuto wakes Suguha up, saying that she would be late for practice. Embarrassed, she runs out of his room. Kazuto then checks his email, finding a picture of a girl who looked like Asuna in a golden cage from Agil.

....Man, I suck at summarizing -.-
Well, how'd you like it? :D
The first episode of Season 2,that is.
Well, I really liked it!
We finally get to meet Suguha, Kazuto's sister cousin. Actually, Suguha appeared in Episode 1 of the anime when she leaves the house to go to kendo practice and also on the News with her mother, Kirigaya Midori. (for some reason, she had greenish hair then. Do you think so too?)

Suguha and Midori in Episode 1

Suguha was also mentioned in Episode 4, when Kirito told Silica that he was willing to help her because she looked like his little sister (Although, I don't really agree with that).

We also get to meet Sugou Nobuyuki, anime's most hated character in history. ARGGGHHH!
I just want him to die!!! He's an absolutely crazy, disgusting, sadistic bastard (can I use that word?)!!!!! RRRAAAAARRRHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Haha, LOL. I saw this picture and just had to put it on here. >.<

*sigh* Anyways, here's another picture I found that's kind of funny.
"....What if Asuna and Kirito/Kazuto's places were swapped?"

Well, just go and watch the anime! :D It's super awesome!!!!
For now, I'll just post the opening of Season 2, "Innocence", sung by Aoi Eir
Enjoy! :D
