Marwile watches SAO Part 22 "Not much to describe" · 11:02pm Jan 11th, 2019
I think this one will go over pretty quick considering it's action for a big part. Which is good because I'm watching the season 1 finale of Rosario+Vampire while typing this. So let's get this done! Also Shirayuki best girl!
We start exactly where we left off, so Goddammit Kirito.
Yeah, he jumps into to help the Knights and takes on literally half of the opponent's army. Klein is also there and... helpful off-screen.
The Knights take on the other half and have some trouble until Asuna switches from healer to attacker to remove the opposing healers. In the process she also takes out about half of the enemies. With the enemies finally defeated they take on the boss and there's not much for me to say. They regularly fight it until Asuna discovers a weak point, which Yuuki then attacks for massive damage.
After the battle Asuna offers to celebrate in her game-home. Siune, the motherly one, declines at first, but Yuuki convinces her otherwise. They're obviously hinting at something being wrong.
Another Goddammit Kirito, as he prepared already party food at the house (he himself is luckily absent, of course). While partying and exchanging stories from other games the Knights realize they forgot to let Asuna have the boss' drops as promised. She doesn't care about those though and instead asks if she can formally join the Sleeping Knight, even adding that she doesn't mind them disbanding soon. They still refuse though, again making it very obvious there's something we and Asuna are not knowing.
To finish for the day they decide to last visit the stone monument, which now holds the names of the Sleeping Knights, causing them to tear up. They happily make a group photo after which Asuna points out that Yuuki has been calling her sister since the boss battle. Yuuki is shocked by that realization and immediately logs out.
Again, I make it sound shorter than it was because of all the action during most of the episode. It was a nice episode, decent action, it was nice to see the Sleeping Knights succeed, foreshadowing and Kirito was only a side character.
At least my boy Klein showed why he is best
girlfriend... Unlike the rest of the useless harem.
