SAO Ep. 20 "General of the Blazing Flames" 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! We're on episode 20 of Sword Art Online, "General of the Blazing  Flames" now!!! :D (Although it's a bit sad that there are only five more episodes :( )

So, Kirito and Leafa jump out of the cave and fly into the air. They head towards the location where the Sylph and Cait Sith's leaders are meeting at, and on the way, Yui senses the 68 Salamander players ahead of them. Leafa gives up, saying that they would never make it on time, and tells Kirito to go to the World Tree, but Kirito rejects the idea.
 Just before the Salamanders attack, Kirito lands in between their forces and the Sylph and Cait Siths telling them to stop. He bluffs, saying that he is the ambassador of the Spriggan-Undine alliance, who supported the Sylph and Cait Sith alliance. Meanwhile, Leafa tells the Cait Sith (Alicia Rue) and Sylph leaders (Sakuya), who are confused, that their lives were in the hands of Kirito. The leader of the group of Salamanders, General Eugene (brother of the Salamander's leader and said to be one of the strongest players in ALO) doesn't believe Kirito and challenges him to a duel. If Kirito could survive his attacks for 30 seconds, he would believe his story.

herp-a-derp :P

During the fight, General Eugene uses his sword, "Demonic Sword Gram" which can go through swords and shields. Kirito tells General Eugene that he had managed to survive for thirty seconds, but he says that he decided to change the rule to a deathmatch. Then, Kirito uses magic to summon a smoke curtain and borrows Leafa's katana. When the smoke clears, everyone but Leafa thinks that he ran away.
Then, Kirito attacks the General from above, blocking Eugene's sword with Leafa's katana in his left hand. He uses his experience in SAO's using two swords and wins against the General.

Kirito finishes General Eugene.
This picture is just a bit....uh...disturbing?
After staring at it for a while, I get really creeped out o.o

Kirito asks Sakuya to revive General Eugene, and he asks whether he believed him or not. He is reluctanat, when a Salamander behind him, Kagamune (the guy in episode 17 who left Leafa and Kirito alone after Kirito killed his allies who was also in the Lugru Corrider) says that it was Kirito and an Undine who wiped out their party in the Lugru Corrider (previous episode). Eugene then believes Kirito and leaves.
Leafa tells Sakuya about Sigurd's betrayal and Sakuya expels him from the Sylphs. Then, Sakuya and Alicia Rue thank Kirito, and he tells them that him being an ambassador was all a bluff. They flirt with him, trying to get him to join their own forces, but he rejects their offers, saying that he had to reach the Aarun. To help out with the Cait Sith and Slyph assault on the World Tree, Kirito donates a huge amount of Yurudo/money (all from SAO of course).
When the Cait Siths and Sylphs leave, and Yui pops out of Kirito and accuses him of cheating, saying that his heart beated faster when the leaders flirted with him. Kirito says that it couldn't be helped because he was a guy. When Leafa askes about herself, Yui says that she was okay, surprising Leafa. Kirito says that it was because he didn't see her as a girl (-.-")and flies up

I don't know why, but when I see this picture, I think, "LIKE A BOSS".

Meanwhile, in the bird cage, Asuna, inputs the code she memorized before and opens the gate. She walks out and leaves.

Well, I think that this was another good episode.
In the end, when Asuna finally walked out of the gates, I felt like she could actually escape by herself and join up with Kirito and Leafa later. (I really like those kinds of stories with strong female heroines :3)
And again, I am amazed how Kirito/Kazuto is so freaking badass and awesome.

Here's another picture from Deviantart.com drawn by GreenTeaNeko:
Sakuya is on the girl on the left, Leafa is in the center,
and Alicia Rue is on the right .
I should mention that Cait Siths have ears and tails)

And this picture is kind of like Asuna's reaction to the leaders flirting with Kirito XD (by hallow1791 on Deviantart)

That's all I have really for now. I will try to finish up my reviews soon!!!
Bye! :D
