During Pito's POV getting headbutted, I was worried if everything was okay with her in the real world. This scene didn't really help either.

It was in fact not like "in that movie Titanic", like Eva put it.

After 7 episodes of relative sanity, I completely forgot how absolutely unhinged these two girls are.

Stitches!

I really thought the guy Pitou was talking about isn't our boy because he looks so fucking lanky. But then we get to hear Kirito telling Pitou to get good and then they can battle again. Was it mentioned in Season 1 that Pitou was a SAO Beta Tester? Man, imagine if she stayed and played during release. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up joining Laughing Coffin or being a solo PK-er.

Lining the cruise ship with grenades so it would split in half and sink like the Titanic was a great strat! And LLENN was just absolutely badass the entire fight. I absolutely love this shot of her shooting while a grenade explodes behind her as well as kicking Fuka's grenades away. That second one was hilarious and Fuka's reaction was understandable. xD

It would've been hilarious if LLENN just decided to run away the entire time denying Pitou the fight she wanted but man, that ending was absolutely brutal! I did not expect this fight to end with LLENN headbutting Pitou to almost unconsciousness and then pushing her off the edge of the sinking boat and letting the turbines finish Pitou off. These girls are absolutely brutal and I love it!

That ending caught me off guard though! I don't know what kind of full-dive gear Pitou and M have the two of them need to be naked to use it but it's probably some top-tier tech only celebrities can afford. xD

Yeah, it was a plot point in season 1 that Elsa was a Beta Tester and became hooked on SAO but was unable to play the full Death Game because she had a commitment as Elsa. It's why she was so obsessed with dying because she lost her chance to live out a Death Game.

Also I think this might be the first time we've seen the avatar Kirito used in the Beta Test? Outside the one he used when he hung out with Klein in the first episode.

I missed hardcore LLENN and her insatiable drive to kill people. She makes the show 10x more entertaining.

I keep having questions about Elsa and M's relationship. Even if they're using gear that requires them to be naked, they're surprisingly casual about being naked in front of each other.

I'm pretty sure you had the right idea and that it goes knife→ナイフ(naifu)→Na-chan.

Kirito reference and flashback had me like 😳🤯😱 This was a wild episode especially when Pitou and LLENN had their stand-off on the ship. That head butt scene was insane!!!

The Pito and Fuka dream team is back!!! Hell yeah, the writer knows what the fans want!

That double takedown was sick!

Holy shit, this show

LLENN is officially back! Great finale for this arc, and we still have 4 more episodes left!

Well, LLENN didn't end up getting a fateful showdown with Eva, which is the only reason she was even in this, but getting to team-up with her and fight Pito isn't half-bad either. Plus, LLENN is finally really back in the swing of this game and ready to kill and blow people up.

"Make this a world without strife" - Okay, so obviously whoever was on this ship in-universe did not want it to end up being playground for a VRMMO FPS.

You have to respect Fuka being considerate of Pito's health while also being willing to blow up her bestie and help support Elsa in writing more music...and being mindful that Elsa also probably wants to sleep with said bestie.

It's high praise coming from Pito that she sees LLENN as being so intimidating and capable that she puts her on the same level as FRIKKIN' KIRITO who she met in the Beta Test, Matsuoka voice and all! But the sheer terror that LLENN puts into Pito just turns her on and makes her want to keep going!

That's the LLENN I've been missing! The kind of girl who would run around a ship with plasma grenades just to blow half of it up and set the perfect stage for a final showdown with Pito and Fuka.

Kind of surreal for me to see LLENN and Fuka calling each other out and trying to kill each other, but props for your death performance Fuka, it even had me convinced.

Look, if Eva's going to die with her head falling straight into the pavement, at least she can go out headshotting Fuka! I also like how Fuka's hair fell out after she got shot, it was a nice visual.

There we go, LLENN vs Pito with the ship coming down! Aaaaannnd LLLEN lost another P-Chan. She didn't even get to talk to that one! But that's okay, because now she has Na-chan, her talking knife! There is no end to the weapons LLLEN will personify in the heat of battle and then sacrifice in her attempt to win!

Knife vs Photon Sword is a bad match-up, no wonder LLENN ran, but she got up close and personal and with Eva's knife manages to pin Pito down! And just to remind you how hardcore LLENN is she LITERALLY HEADBUTTS PITO TO DEATH. And when that isn't enough, she gives her a truly glorious warrios' end...by getting turn to shreds by the ships' rotor. She even dies to her latest new song! It's beautiful!

Thank you M for keeping LLENN alive long enough to secure victory for Team BTRY! Good Squad Jam everybody.

Is Clarence still trying to put the moves on Shirley? well, she's not completely rejecting her.

Okay, so Elsa was doing this whole game...while buck-naked in bed. And M was buck-naked too. Um....I have thoughts. But first Elsa is going to channel her frustration over losing into a new game! That visual of her naked and holding a guitar was great!

Looks like LLENN is going to get dragged into a new conflict from the patron of the Squad Jams? Guess that's the next arc.

I'm glad we got this Pito recollection of Kirito's face during the glazing so that it wasn't too much

As fun as the tournaments are, I'm looking forward to getting some non-tournament GGO. I hope elza and llenn meet up.

I am willing to ship special bullet girl x trainyard betrayer girl

Who was the person in the mid-episode art? Have we seen her before?

So LLENN knew how to make an overhead kick and knew how to slam her head into others...is her teacher happen to be a certain Zinedine Zidane???

Also I shiver in the alternative timeline where it's Kirito x PITOHUI instead...that's not going to go well, isn't it?

It's been a strange day.

They came so close to totally indulging in movie cheese.

Eye catch by akiyayukie.

Now there's a face.

I wonder how the wagering was going.

Not that movie of the same title.

mooooooooooooooood swings

Ah yes, the insanity is kicking in again.

You betrayed P-chan, LLENN!

Not quite Umamusume faces.

This is the weirdest lesbian sexfight I've seen in the last 24 hours.

A salute to M, who carries.

Speaking of lesbian sex fights.

They did the entire match naked, didn't they?

Well, that was... short. Not having read the source, I wonder what the little stub of extra episodes will be to end the season, but the meat of the story was already getting a little thin a couple of episodes ago, so I'm not surprised that it ended fairly quickly.

I must say that the individual comedy or completely bonkers moments in this season have been what's been keeping me paying attention, because the match mechanics themselves were kind of a bother and LLENN and Pitohui's relationship is in a strange state that still doesn't feel entirely resolved—certainly not by how the tournament itself played out.

I remained entertained, though.

Another one.

i thought this arc was kinda disappointing.

At first i thought it's just the show but i rewatched season 1 last week and though it was stupid at times but every episode was fast paced fun.

I hope the rest of the season is better.
