Sword Art Online Alicization War Of Underworld Ep 17

Remember that Time Everyone Teamed Up in Sword Art Online? Yeah, This Was Like That, But Times a Million.

Okay, so remember how in old-school SAO, everyone had to band together to beat the bosses? Well, "War of Underworld" took that, cranked the dial to eleven, and threw in some tear-jerking friendship for good measure.

Episode 17? Pure chaos (in the best way, of course). We had heroes popping in from everywhere, like they were answering the call for the ultimate video game raid. Seriously, it was like the Avengers: Endgame portal scene, but with more swords and less CGI.

Kirito's Harem... I Mean, Support Squad Arrives!

Let's be real, Kirito has some serious charisma. The cavalry arrived, and it wasn't just any cavalry. We're talking about the whole gang – Silica, Lisbeth, and even Klein jumped into the Underworld to lend a hand. It was heartwarming... and maybe a little bit funny, seeing them navigate the clunky, outdated system.

Klein, bless his heart, was as enthusiastic as ever, yelling out attack names like he was still in the tutorial. You gotta love the guy's commitment to the bit. He's like the comic relief we didn't know we desperately needed in the middle of a digital war.

But the real showstoppers were the girls. Silica and Lisbeth were total badasses, reminding us that they're not just cute sidekicks. They're skilled fighters in their own right. It was a great reminder of how far they've come since Aincrad.

Hold Up, Did They Just...?

The episode also threw in some curveballs, like when the ALfheim Online crew decided to join the party. Talk about a family reunion – a very violent family reunion. The reaction between Suguha and Kirito was something to behold. Pure joy, but quickly overshadowed by the urgent need to slice and dice their way through hordes of enemies.

And can we talk about the way they ported over their avatars? Seeing Leafa flying around on her fairy wings in the Underworld was a visual treat. It was like a glitch in the matrix, but a beautiful, heroic glitch.

Friendships, Swords, and Tears (Probably)

Look, "War of Underworld" could be a little dark and intense, but episode 17 was a breath of fresh air. It was a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming odds, friendship and loyalty can win the day. Or at least buy you some time to figure out a real plan.

Sure, there were still serious stakes. The fate of the Underworld was still hanging in the balance. But seeing everyone work together, supporting Kirito, and fighting for a common cause? That's the Sword Art Online we know and love. And there were enough call backs to keep fans entertained!

It was like a big virtual hug, punctuated by the clang of steel and the roar of battle. Bring on the next episode – we're ready for whatever insanity comes next! Seriously though, after the last few episodes, some insanity sounds kind of fun at this point.

"This teamwork is giving me life!" - Basically all SAO fans.

Oh, and let's not forget the inevitable power-ups that happen when everyone believes in Kirito. Seriously, the dude's got a superpower: the power of friendship.
