Episode Rating: 7/10
Honestly, I must say that the ending of the episode was just so creepy, I almost wanted to cry...but we'll get to that later.
Kirito has a new helper now! The girl Kirito saved was called Leafa and she guides Kirito to the nearest city. She also teaches Kirito how to fly without the assisted controller.
In my opinion, the World Tree seems to be like the whole world of Sword Art Online basically. You go up a level and at the end of each floor there is a boss. Also I like the idea of the players getting an upgrade when they reach the top of the world tree as it gives them something to strive for.
In regards to Asuna on top of the World Tree......I wanna kill Sugou so badly. He basically just trapped her up there and is waiting for their marriage, and this episode also reveals his evil plan hidden behind Alfheim Online. I don't really care about that right now though, I only want to beat his ass cause he tried to touch Asuna up! Sugou is obviously crazy in the head, to marry someone that is unconscious and to try and control people's minds is just absurd. I am pretty sure that he is the most hated character in SAO at the moment, even more so than the Army in SAO
This episode contained one of the biggest face palms I have ever had. LEAFA IS KIRITO's COUSIN SUGU??????? LIKE WTF? Honestly and it seems like Leafa has a crush on Kirito as well (which is pretty apparent as he leaves the bar). We are witnessing some direct incest in the making! I gotta say though that just that part was able to throw me off the whole episode so it was kinda disappointing as I was looking forward to see whether or not Kirito was loyal to Asuna even though she wasn't there so a really bad choice for the writers there.
I must say that overall this episode was pretty disappointing. The writers basically led us on with the Leafa and Kirito thing and then totally smashed it down. Of course, Sugou touching up Asuna was no fun either. I however do look forward to how this Leafa and Kirito thing will go even though we all obviously know it is going nowhere unless they decide to incorporate incest in SAO. Not that bad of an episode, but could have been way better in my opinion!
