TOO F***ING FAR!!! EVEN FOR AN ANIME!!! I really couldn't care less how you take this post. I'm putting down exactly how I feel. That pr*** got what he deserved. With the pain limiter or leveler, whatever, at 0, he should be dead. Your mind would register all of it at such a high level that it would more than likely cause your heart to stop. When all that crap was going down I was clenching my fist so hard I couldn't move my fingers back. I was already down for other reasons but Asuna, Kirito and Yui being together made me feel so much better and then he went and pulled what he did. Anime or not, I won't tolerate s*** like that. On that note, I still enjoyed the series and do hope for more but if anything else along those lines pops up, I will not hesitate to drop this in an instant. I guarantee some people could list other animes that may do some of the same or worse and I'm asking you, please don't. I do not want to or care to know.

I don't know who but I know somebody mentioned back near the start of the arc that they could see Kayaba having some kind of role in this one and I have to say, good foresight. That was a good call. I don't think there should be any doubt that the other arcs will more than likely be made especially after the introduction of that "world seed" I believe it was called.

I think she was surprised because of that fight they'd had. She may have expected him to hold a little resentment towards her.

They'll probably be fine. When those "scientists" were bragging to Asuna one told her that the captives were "dreaming" or something like that. Maybe some issues readjusting but I don't think they'll be mentally scarred. And if so, hopefully not so badly that they won't be able to recover.

@Graedan: With regards to the above quote/response: You could have a point there with your pessimistic part.

With my mind distracted from writing this, I'm calmer, but still pissed. At least he FINALLY got what he deserved.

I agree wholeheartedly, I was so "no their not going to ...". But it was almost necessary to enrage kirito to be able to get up from being pinned down and his hatred for oberon was expressed by cutting him up...I was reading CR's sAO forum and you would not believe the number of people who were pissed at kirito and thought it unfair fight and not justified...WHAT????c,mon now.....my hands too wwere clenched and could not wait for kirito to slaughter Oberon.....

Oberon mentioned that once the pain level thing was set to 3 or lower it would start having effects on their bodies in the real world. I can't remember specifically, but I don't think Oberon lowered Kirito's that far before Kirito took over. Kirito set Oberon's pain level thing to 0 so unless Oberon was lying, his real body should have sustained at least some damage. Regardless, there should still be a scene in the next episode that wraps everything with Sugou up. His crimes in ALO need to be brought to light and he needs to face his punishment.

And yeah, I'm with everybody else who says that Oberon took things a few steps too far this episode. That was just.... ugh. I understand he's supposed to be completely evil and crazy, but I thought it was already established and it wasn't necessary to have Asuna be assaulted like that.

Ah. Its always meloncholic to see a good series end. Spoilers for final ep *25*

So yeah we get Sugou, who looks like he took physical damage form the pain sensors at 0. But he's still crazy. I'm glade they didn't have Kazuto kill him though. THat character was trash, scum and loads of other things but killing him wasn't worth the coast of his own future. Scaring him so bad he pissed his pants was a rather nice touch though. Stil would have loved to see Asuna lay him out herself though. Was glade to see Liz and Silica agian. And of course Klein too. Good to hear no after effects happend to anyone traped for the experiments. And see them attendin the school. Looks like we see what could be the starting set up for what Accel world has with theri network of interchanging virtual worlds too, thanks to Kirito having Agil share the World see with everyone. Wil be interestin to see how this might play out later if we can get more SAO animated. And by the end to see the Castle Aincrrad come back and all the player go towards in, after Kirito providing some self assurence to Leafa, was pretty cool. And I guess all their stats were reset form what Kirito said. So looks like they get to rebuild themselves up. This tiem though I think Kirito might actauly join in a guild though. .lol

Anyways hope we can get more SAO in the future. I've enjoyed this show. Some things may have seem like a bit of let downs here and there but over all this was my favorite show of the past few seasons. Would love ot see the more of this one.
