Episode 17 of Sword Art Online has come out, and it is
another one that makes me want to flip tables, break down walls, and jump into
my monitor to strangle characters.
SPOILERS START NOW
It starts innocently enough, though I can’t help but laugh at how clumsy Kirito is when trying to fly. I also have to wonder how much he told his cousin, who plays Leafa in Alfheim, about what happened in SAO, since she doesn’t recognize his screen name at all, nor did she seem to know why he suddenly was good at using a sword when they fought using kendo a few episodes back.
After Kirito manages to get Leafa to agree to take him to
the World Tree, along with prying a little information out of her about the
game, there are a few squee worthy Yui and Kirito moments cuddling in bed for
the night. So cute!
Then, we finally, FINALLY get to see Asuna in Alfheim. Her
character is named Titania, the fairy queen, by Sugou, who plays the king
Oberion. This is the scene that I want to break things from, he gloats a bit
about how he has her and the other comatose SAO players trapped here for
experimentation, and goes on to sexually harass her a bit. I WANT HIM DEAD!
THEY HAD BETTER KILL HIM WHEN THEY RESCUE HER! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF KIRITOS
ASUNA YOU SLEAZY BAG OF SHIT!
*ahem* Anyways, next week I shall give my thoughts on
episode 18, and somewhere between now and then I’ll give an overview on the
previous episodes of the Alfheim arc. Don’t forget to look for Hattah's cumulative
review of the first Sword Art Online arc!
