....I warned you... O.O*
Hi! Now, I'll be reviewing Episode 17 of the Sword Art Online Anime Adaption, "Captive Queen" ^.^
So, in the last episode, Kirito showed off his awesome strength and speed by killing a Salamander. He kills another one, and asks the last Salamander, Kagemune, if he would like to fight. He refuses, saying that he didn't want to face the death penalty, as well as Leafa, when she is asked.
Leafa then asks what she should do now, whether to fight or thank him, to which Kirito jokingly replies that he sees himself as the hero who saved the princess, and that she should be running into his arms. This angers Yui, causing herself to show herself to Leafa, saying that only Mommy (Asuna) could hug Kirito.
Leafa asks what a Spriggan like Kirito was doing in a forest of Sylph territory, and he says that he got lost. Kirito says that he needed to get to the World Tree, and Leafa volunteers to help him. Leafa teaches Kirito how to fly without the use of a controller (which Kirito used previously) and they head to Sylvain. (Earlier, Leafa said that they should go to a neutral area, but Kirito opposes the idea saying that Sylvain was closer. She warns him that in Sylph territory, like Sylvain, other Sylphs could attack him, but he could not attack back.)
Leafa and Kirito arrive at Sylvain
When they arrive, Kirito hits a tower's wall because they doesn't know how to land. Leafa heals him, and shortly after, Recon arrives. Upon seeing a Spriggan like Kirito, Recon gets ready to attack, but Leafa stops him saying that Kirito saved her. She then takes Kirito to an inn.
As they eat, Kirito asks whether Recon was Leafa's boyfriend, to which she says that he was only a party member and a real-life classmate. Leafa then tells Kirito about the grand ALO quest of reaching the top of the World Tree. Players would need to go through a dome guarded by powerful NPCs. The first race that reaches the castle on the top would be rewarded with unlimited flying and be reborn as Alfs (This explains why the races are so hostile to each other and why they don't work together...wait. I think I kind of spoiled a bit... sorry -.-;) She tells him not to give up, even if it takes years, and Kirito replies that he is looking for someone and needed to reach the top very soon. After agreeing to meet up at 3pm the next day, Leafa logs out and tells Kirito to log out in a room upstairs.
Suguha wearing the Amusphere. It's like the improved version of the Nerve Gear.
SUGUHA (Leafa) wakes up in her room and blushes after remembering meeting Kirito.
Yui and Kirito sleep.
Yui returns to her real form and asks if she could sleep with Kirito until he logged out (he agrees).
Asuna (left) and King Oberon/Sugou Nobuyuki (right)
Asuna sits in a chair in the golden cage when King Oberon (Sugou Nobuyuki) comes to visit her. He tells her that he is secretly performing experiments that altered human emotion, sense, and memory. She says that he would never get away with it, and he leaves after locking the cage with a number combination. Asuna cries for Kirito to come save her.
Yay! :D
So, this time, we get a better sense of the characters and the situation.
We get to see Leafa, who we find actually Suguha in this episode, and we get to see Asuna as an elf!!! :3
We also learn that Sugou Nobuyuki is the King Oberon and of his cruel plan.
But, to really sum up this season so far, Kazuto joins the game ALfheim Online as Spriggan Kirito, gets help from AI/Navigational Pixie/Daughter Yui and Sylph player Leafa/Suguha, and is now trying to reach the top of the World Tree to save Asuna, who is imprisoned in the game by evil, cruel, sadistic, most-hated-character-in-SAO Sugou Nobuyuki, her fiance.
Again, this is another great episode. And please, please, please watch the Sword Art Online anime or read the SAO light novel!!!! >w< It's really great!!! You won't regret it! :D
I hope you will join me next time on my review of Episdoe 18! Bye! :)
