EPISODE REVIEWS


In this episode, we can feel a bit of tension at times, as Kirito's secret is revealed, despite this. We can understand some of the dialogs and intentions of the other players and thus be very curious about the central character or the villain of this new season.

The changing room comedy is a bit forced, but the shift to high-stakes combat saves it. Kirito deflecting bullets with a sword? Ridiculous, but undeniably cool. The real value is that dark cliffhanger—it grounds the arc in genuine stakes. Definitely watch it, not even a question.
