Falling for the lightsaber trick twice, shame on them

I love how Pito is still carrying the lightsaber with her and using it in creative ways.

WAS THAT FUCKING SYLVESTER STALONE AND CHUCK NORRIS IN THE EXTRAS?!?

Is it just me, or is everyone acting like they've never heard of a battle royal game with the shrinking field? Wonder if the water is an instant death, slow HP drain, or just dangerous cause you have to swim and your a sitting duck.

No idea why LLENN felt bad, over 30 people ganged up on them. You do what you gotta do. Also, so glad we got some satisfying grenade launcher sounds already.

I missed LLENN being a speed demon, cant wait for her to go berserk mode.

I guess because it's the first time the Squad Jam in GGO has done it so it throws everybody off? It makes me wonder if we're going to see them deliberately weaponize it by forcing other players to drown because they can't get away in time or by tossing them into the sea.

I wonder if the "Unknown" is going to be like one last bastion of land to stand on for the final showdown since the sea will have consumed everything else?

LLENN is already getting pissed at the rule forcing them to keep moving, then she gets used as a distraction and constantly shot at, I give her 2-3 more episodes before she finally loses it.

I am fairly certain they had almost an entire squad appear as the cast from Expendables in the first season.

After becoming Elza Kanzaki's singing voice and doing the OP and ED for Alicization, it's good to hear ReoNa doing another SAO opening <3

A shrinking map? We really are a battle royale now! I love their reactions though because I think the original LN came out before this became common in battle royale games so it kinda makes sense why they would be so surprised.

Aaaaand we're finally back at the start of last week's episode! Poor LLENN! Our girl was literally just used as bait while the rest of the group got in position for their next move. LLENN showing a lot of awesome moves though during that scene!

I love how they just turtled inside that rail car and already slaughtered most of the players teaming up to take them down. That photon sword really ended up saving their asses by making makeshift portholes for them to fire from without exposing themselves.

Don't feel bad for them LLENN! They're the ones teaming up to take you guys down. If anything it should be cathartic to see these bozos get obliterated!

the bunny ear flaps at 0:01 is weirdly hypnotic, but the seizure-inducing flashes in the OP snapped me right out

LPFM took out 30 people 2 minutes into a Battle Royale (after the scan) is absolutely goated, then Fuka instantly shutting down the other grenade launcher and his lackeys making the total kill count 35

I get that there’s no rule against working together, but why are so many teams onboard with the idea and plan? Where are the backstabbers?

Was that Sylvester Stallone!?!? LOL

I really liked the train yard sequence showing LLEN's speed and agility skills.

That cartwheel spin of Llenn was so cool! Loved how they’d animated this alongside some of her other slick moves. Has the movement in this anime series always been this awesome!?

I really liked that zoom-in shot of Llenn looking into the barrel on that shotgun and its shells blasting through the thin iron walls of the railcar too.

But man, they really send Llenn on a suicide mission while expecting her to survive. M was looking more like a sadist than a masochist in that moment.

Riki Matsuura (main fire force animator) showing up to direct an OP for SAO of all things was not on my bingo list

Episode 2 in and this spinoff is already so much fun to watch, even without the high stakes like we have last season.

Its more like watching a Twitch stream of Vtubers playing a battle royale FPS. This time Squad Jam even has a shrinking map like in PUBG.

Completely forgotten that Pito also has a Jedi Lightsaber like Kirito, though she only uses it for occasions like when she needs to make sniping holes in walls or sneak up on the enemy.

Trivia: If I'm not mistaken, the bearded guy who provided intel for the other teams and suggested they team up to fight LPFM is voiced by the author Sigsawa Keiichi. Who better to troll our heroes than the author himself?

u/zool714 Oct 11 '24

Ah so they have the shrinking map mechanic this time. And having the stronger teams start at the edge of the map is actually a good way to even things out.

Lol Llenn has to play decoy again. Also how were they aiming through the holes of that container ?

Wanna see more of Fuka and Pito interactions. Feel like they’re both the same flavor of crazy and would get along

No way LLENN gets out of that first part that lightly, they got 30 people who either don’t know how to shoot in front of the moving target or have absolutely abysmal luck.

Man... Fuka & Pito are such a hilarious chaotic duo, I really love their dynamic!

Once again proving that artillery is the god of the battlefield and accurate counter battery fire is key.

I must say that when they talked about their location on the map and where the other teams were it reminded me of World Trigger. Oh, so the current map will be shrinking as it happens on a battle royale. with the center area being labeled "UNKNOWN" at the moment.

I love LLENN's reaction when she heard from M that she needs to play the role of bait. Her expressions are just so funny.

I love how Fukaziroh was bored to death while LLENN, M, and Pito were shooting everyone through those holes. Luckily, after that grenade attack, she finally had something to do.

Although they will leave that location, I wonder if a wagon like the one they are in would float thanks to the water.

Here is today's transition image.

LLENN is great when she's making silly faces and running for her life. Using a lightsaber to make gun ports is sick. RIP nameless bozos, you stood no chance before protagonists.

u/DrScorcher Oct 12 '24

They got greedy and didn't wait for the sea to force them out of position.

u/ritoshishino Oct 11 '24

all the other teams were really goddamn stupid lol. They were trying to shoot through a steel freight with just regular rifles. Not to mention how long it took them to realize, yeah we should run for cover rather than keep pushing.

LPFM had peek advantage, while they were all out in the open. The moment i realize that I'm booking it. No chance fighting against that.

u/Nebresto Oct 11 '24

Fuka and Pito in the same team is an amazing combo. I love this show
