....I warned you... O.O*
Today, I'm reviewing episode 22 of Sword Art Online, "Grand Quest".
Last time, after arriving in Aarun, Yui told Kirito that Asuna seemed to be directly above them, and so he flew upwards. Leafa tries to follow him, telling him that it was impossible to fly up because there was a barrier where the clouds were (Previously, players had tried to reach the top of the World Tree by flying up.)
However, Kirito ignores her and rams into the barrier and Yui tries to call for Asuna. Up in the birdcage, Asuna hears Yui's calls and drops the card she had found in the Experiment room. Down below, Kirito catches the card, and Yui tells him that it was a System Admin access code, leading them to believe that Asuna had heard them and was waiting.
While watching, I found it kind of weird that the call wasn't really falling down, but floating. :\
Kirito thanks Leafa for helping him and heads to the base of the World Tree. When he arrives, the swords of two huge statues block the entrance, asking him if he was going to go in. A window pops up, and Kirito accepts the grand quest.
Entrance to the World Tree
He enters a huge dome, and flies up, killing armored NPC guardians that are in the way. Kirito is powered by the thought of Asuna, and continues to fly, ignoring the NPC's attacks. Eventually, his HP reaches zero before reaching the entrance to the World Tree and he becomes a Remain Light (I didn't know what they were called until now, but remain lights are the little fire things that players in ALO turn into after dying. They can be revived through magic by another player while in this stage, but after a certain time, they are resurrected and transported to their race's city)
While waiting for the time limit of the remain light, Leafa bursts into the dome and takes him back to the entrance. She revives Kirito, telling him not to rush in by himself. However, Kirito tells her that he couldn't and had to see Asuna again. At the mention of her name, Leafa realizes that Kirito was Kazuto. She calls Kirito "onii-chan" (means older brother in Japanese), causing Kirito to realize that Leafa was Suguha. Then, Leafa logs out in shock.
In the real world, Kazuto knocks on Suguha's door and tries to apologize for using the NerveGear again (he thought that she was mad at him for that). Suguha then opens the door and says that she was mad at Kazuto for being nice to her after returning from SAO and making her fall in love with Kazuto (and then Kirito). When Kazuto reminds Suguha that they were siblings, she reveals that she knew they were cousins. Kazuto tries to apologize, and Suguha slams the door shut. :(
Someone added a caption to this screenshot and I thought that it was funny :P
Episode 22 was just another episode of SAO that I felt wasn't really that important. All we really learn is that Kirito gets a weird card thingy and Leafa and Kirito know each others real identities.
Well...that's actually what I think now, after watching the whole series and reading the light novels O.O
So, you might think differently. (Yeah, I know I really suck at this reviewing thing -_-)
That's all for now. Hope you join me next time :D
