I think this is also the first place where the anime reveals that he leaves a child with Fanatio behind.

Question was this hinted (or out right said) a lot more at in the light novels, because when this happen in the episode, I paused the episode trying to think if this was ever alluded to before in the show and could not think of anything.

Kirito in the minds of Asuna, Sinon, and Suguru to help him restore his self-image. This is some shaky science and psychology, and I have trouble believing that something like this could be done so (comparatively) easily, but the writing did box itself into a corner here. The minor problem with the scheme is that a risky decoy maneuver to allow Hisaga(?)

And then they came up with almost that exact plan. I haven't laughed so hard at this show in a while, but that really got me. I get the writer has himself in a corner, but to be honest, they really don't need Kirito right now. It seems like the good guys have this on lock and have been like this the whole time. There's really no sense of danger other than whenever they decide Asuna isn't fast so she can lose a random arm.

I appreciate the change in art style with the animators opting for thicker lines and enhanced detail on facials in order to sell the intensity of the sequences.

For those talking about the plan to revive kirito,
First of all the problem they have right now is time, they might get the electricity down any moment if their ennemies get alice to world end altar and if that happens, then kirito dies.

So while the plan indeed isn't sure to work they don't really have an alternative because in a few hours he'll be dead.

For the plan itself, I feel like the goal is more to reconnect his vision of himself than recreating it from everyone else, because yes recreating it would have a lot of problems since others doesn't know the reasoning that went behind each of his actions, but right now the goal is more to make him remember who he was (hence why he reacted to his old friends connecting) because the surge made hime disconnect from himself (but his own self his still here, wether it be locked inside himself or inside the machine, I don't think it has been said anytime said everything about himself was dead that's why Higa was still looking for a way to wake him up, it seems like more of a coma than anything) so that's why even if he the memories of the others only have part of kirito's self it's alright because the goal is to find where is the other part of it (kinda like a puzzle where you'd need to find a piece that was already place from a part of it you got)

On a side note, I'm really enjoying this season and can't wait to see how it'll wrap up, each sao season had it's up and downs but alicizations only had a few problematics eps personnally so I'm really hoping it keeps what it's been doing since the start of alicization (And see if we get more connection to OS since they seem to try to keep that alice)

Also wondering how long is the author planning on continuing, I feel like this year has seen a lot of LN ending so I'm really wondering if Unital Ring will be the last arc because from what I've seen spoiler[All of the seed games getting fused in a single one with a death = account delete (Kinda reminds of Accel Word also might be something there)] it really seems like the plot you'd use when preparing the end of the saga but I guess we'll see, He might also get back to working on Accel world since it's almost been a year without a new novel there
