SAO Ep. 18 "To the World Tree" Review


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

Hi! Right now, I'll be reviewing Sword Art Online's episode 18, "To the World Tree".

Oh, and also, as a warning, this episode has some Sugu-fanservice :P

So, in the last episode, we find that Leafa is actually Suguha, Kirito's sister or, more accurately, his cousin (*squeal*).
Suguha logs out and starts to remember why she joined ALO. The next day, she goes to school and meets her friend Nagata Shinichi, whose avatar is Recon. Nagata questions her about what she would do from then on, to which Suguha answers that she would help Kirito (who she doesn't know is really her brother/cousin) go to the city of Aarun, under the World Tree.

She goes home and logs onto ALfheim Online, meeting Kirito in the game world. They go shopping for new items, and Kirito gets new clothes and a huge sword (no weird jokes, please) that is as tall as he is. When they head to the Tower of Wind (it is easier to start flying from high altitudes when traveling long distances), Leafa and Kirito encounter Sigurd, another Sylph player who is the leader of the party Leafa is currently in. Sigurd tells Leafa not to go (because she's a good player),and the two argue, when Kirito intervenes. He said that Leafa was not an item and could do whatever she wanted, angering Sigurd. Just before Sigurd attacks Kirito, one of his comrades said that he shouldn't attack a defenseless player in front of tons of witnesses (it would ruin their reputation), and so he stops.

Sorry, you can't really see Sigurd's face, can you. :\
I promise you that I'll get a picture of him some other time.
Also, do you see all of that green? God, there's so much.

On the balcony of the tower, Recon manages to catch up to Kirito and Leafa before they leave. He tells Leafa that as much as he wanted to leave with them, he was still suspicious of something and wanted to check it out first. The two leave and fly off toward Aarun.

Gawd, Asuna looks pissed (and she has every right to be)
I just want to kill Sugou really bad right now. Or see him die.

At Asuna's cage, Oberon shares that he has told Kazuto of their marriage. Asuna then  tells herself that at least Kazuto/Kirito was still alive. As Oberon leaves the cage, Asuna faces a mirror, and manages to see him punch in the number code of the cage's lock. Asuna starts to memorize the code.
Leafa and Kirito are in the middle of a forest. They finish fighting a couple of monsters, and decide to stop and take a rest, as their wings were also losing power. Leafa disconnects from the game first. In the real life, Suguha makes Kazuto a sandwich and takes a bath. Then, Suguha logs in and Kirito disconnects, switching places. While Kirito is disconnected, Leafa and Yui talk (If I remember correctly (I watched this episode a while back), Leafa asks Yui why she calls Kirito "Papa". Yui answers that "Papa is Papa", confusing Leafa and thinking that Kirito was possible perverted/strange ^^)
Kirito joins the game again, and senses someone watching them. He asks Leafa about it, and she explains what Tracer magic allowed players to watch others using an animal. The two fly off again, and a red bat is seen watching them. A group of Salamanders start to move on the ground (dun. dun..... DUUUNNNNNNN!!!!!)

I guess you could say that I enjoyed this episode too (although there was lots of fanservice -.-").
I keep wondering when Suguha will find out that Kirito is actually Kazuto urge her not to fall in love with him, but it's not like she can here me anyways. Plus, that's what makes this anime good too.
When Asuna starts to memorize the code number, I actually felt that she would get to go outside and save herself (I like those kind of stories where the trapped heroine saves herself and stuff :P). I thought, "Yes!!! YESSS!!!! You go girl!!! >v<"
Let's just wait and see what happens ;)
And I still hate Sugou, even more now. He's just such a hatable character. Just seeing him makes me want
him to die (I sound so mean)

Anyways. -.-
Here's a picture from the last SAO Season that I wanted to share :D (It's fan-made; it didn't actually happen....maybe...)

Poor Lizbeth. She misunderstood. -v-


Well, that's all I have for now, you guys >w<
Join me next time though, and be sure to watch the Sword Art Online anime adaption!!!! :D
Byyyeeeee!!!!
