1
00:00:09,940 --> 00:00:11,166
Agil!
2
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:13,490
Sorry I didn't get here sooner.
3
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:19,120
Liz! Silica!
4
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:24,896
You came! You actually came!
5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,686
Of course we'd come!
6
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:28,790
How could we not?
7
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:33,590
You've been pushing yourself so hard...
look how banged up you are.
8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,890
You're overdoing it, Asuna.
9
00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:39,640
Leave the rest to us. Everyone's here!
10
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:41,430
Everyone?
11
00:00:57,410 --> 00:00:59,120
Those red guys are the enemy!
12
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:01,330
Vanguard, charge!
13
00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:02,450
Push them back!
14
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:08,170
Rearguard, join the Underworld
forces for now, and check your spells.
15
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:11,250
It's not like we have a
personal beef with you,
16
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:15,026
but we're going to make you pay
for what you did to our friend.
17
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:18,656
Three times the amount...
no, make it a thousand!
18
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,390
You bastards!
19
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:57,030
End to Eternity
20
00:03:05,450 --> 00:03:11,420
You might not even make it back, but you
still converted your precious characters.
21
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:13,420
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
22
00:03:13,630 --> 00:03:15,566
What are you talking about, Asuna?
23
00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:18,896
I believe we all made it
through SAO and ALO
24
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,970
so that we could protect what we love
right here, right now.
25
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,100
Yeah. You're right.
26
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:29,470
Thank you.
27
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:31,980
Hey, Liz, Silica.
28
00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:34,560
Who was it that brought you all here?
29
00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:39,756
Come on, Asuna, who do you think?
30
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:41,176
It was Yui.
31
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,280
Yui gave us this heartfelt speech about the
Underworld and the people who live here.
32
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:55,920
Thank you, Yui.
33
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:10,810
Um... Lady Asuna?
34
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:14,060
Who exactly are these people? And also...
35
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,020
those knights?
36
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,070
They're my precious friends!
37
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,900
They've come from
the real world to help us.
38
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,226
Is that right?
39
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:32,766
I'm so glad!
40
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:36,226
I thought that everyone
from the outside world,
41
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:40,420
aside from Lady Asuna,
would look scary, like those soldiers.
42
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:45,446
Of course we're not all like that!
I'm Lisbeth! Nice to meet you, Mr. Knight!
43
00:04:45,470 --> 00:04:47,970
I'm Silica! It's very nice to meet you!
44
00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:51,390
Right, nice to meet you! My name is Renly.
45
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:57,270
Liz, how many people converted in all?
46
00:04:58,190 --> 00:05:01,796
Um, maybe a little over two thousand,
I think?
47
00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:06,570
I did my best, but I couldn't convince
every single player who heard me out.
48
00:05:08,410 --> 00:05:09,950
That's more than enough!
49
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,056
But to keep reconverting a possibility,
I'd like to avoid a war of attrition.
50
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,476
Let's not expand the front lines too much,
and bolster our healing.
51
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:23,420
Liz and Silica, I want you to fall back
with 200 or so and form a support unit.
52
00:05:23,630 --> 00:05:24,446
Understood!
53
00:05:24,470 --> 00:05:26,050
Okay! You can count on us!
54
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,866
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but
please join the monks and use your healing arts.
55
00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:35,536
Since the real world swordsmen
aren't familiar with the sacred arts,
56
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,730
it would really help
if you could teach them the formal arts.
57
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:40,730
Uh, right, Lady Asuna!
58
00:05:42,610 --> 00:05:43,610
I...
59
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:46,110
will fight at the front!
60
00:05:58,710 --> 00:06:00,840
Now we won't lose.
61
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:05,630
Now that everyone's here.
62
00:06:27,650 --> 00:06:29,530
It's all right. We can win!
63
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:34,830
All together...
64
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,540
we can definitely win!
65
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:44,300
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 7:18 AM
Ocean Turtle
66
00:06:55,970 --> 00:06:58,930
You think that was in time?
67
00:07:01,310 --> 00:07:02,730
It was in time.
68
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:05,190
Definitely.
69
00:07:15,370 --> 00:07:19,040
Seriously,
I can't believe I was so careless.
70
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:25,790
Who knew that they'd have American
VRMMO players dive into the Underworld?
71
00:07:26,670 --> 00:07:33,510
Not only that, but it was an existing AI
connected to Asuna's cell phone that detected it.
72
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,986
Even if there was no other way,
73
00:07:36,010 --> 00:07:41,980
letting those players in has made some
information on the Project Alicization public.
74
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,876
Compared to Alice falling into enemy hands,
75
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:50,690
and being used as a passive AI
on an unmanned weapon, this is way better.
76
00:07:53,030 --> 00:07:59,080
That's right, Alice isn't just a control AI
for UAVs anymore.
77
00:07:59,250 --> 00:08:02,870
She's a new form of humanity
born in a true alternate world.
78
00:08:03,580 --> 00:08:06,000
{\an8}You realized that long ago.
79
00:08:06,340 --> 00:08:08,920
{\an8}Isn't that right, Kirito?
80
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,240
H-Hey,
Rinko! Could you take a look at this?
81
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,700
What are these fluctuations?
82
00:08:35,910 --> 00:08:42,660
{\an8}It means his lost consciousness
showed activity for just a moment.
83
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,960
{\an8}But there's no way that could happen.
84
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,170
Wait a moment.
85
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,050
Aren't both of these times
when the girls used the STL to dive?
86
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,520
What does this mean?
87
00:09:02,730 --> 00:09:07,520
Is it just that he had a strong reaction
because someone close to him showed up?
88
00:09:07,940 --> 00:09:14,110
No, the damage Kirito sustained isn't something
that could be repaired for such a poetic reason.
89
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,280
Something has to be causing this.
90
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:19,046
The self. The subject.
91
00:09:19,070 --> 00:09:21,490
The image that defines you as you.
92
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,410
Could there be a backup
of that quantum pattern somewhere?
93
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:30,686
No, that's impossible. We never
once duplicated Kirito's Fluctlight.
94
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:31,340
Hey.
95
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:37,430
Even if there was a backup, it would be impossible
to extract the self-image and copy it over.
96
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:38,986
Hey, Higa.
97
00:09:39,010 --> 00:09:44,180
Is there an active quantum pattern
that can be connected to his Fluctlight?
98
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:46,140
Where? Where is it?
99
00:09:46,770 --> 00:09:48,100
Higa, listen!
100
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:50,956
What is it?
101
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:54,466
Higa, you keep mentioning
the subject and the object,
102
00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:57,150
but can you really
separate them that easily?
103
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,636
Aren't the subject and the object just
philosophical concepts for expressing relationships?
104
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:09,516
But humans are social creatures.
It's not as if we exist as solitary beings.
105
00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:12,776
The others who exist in you.
The you that exists in others.
106
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,106
Up to a point, they're all connected,
like a network.
107
00:10:17,130 --> 00:10:18,510
Wouldn't you agree?
108
00:10:19,550 --> 00:10:22,946
The you... who exists... in others.
109
00:10:22,970 --> 00:10:24,100
Right!
110
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:26,680
A backup self-image.
111
00:10:27,310 --> 00:10:29,416
We have it. We have it!
112
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,336
We have data we can use
to restore Kirito's shattered subject!
113
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,650
It's inside the Fluctlights
of the people closest to him!
114
00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:42,870
But to extract that data,
we'll need an STL.
115
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:45,886
And we couldn't reproduce it effectively
with just one person.
116
00:10:45,910 --> 00:10:48,080
We'd need at least two... no, three people.
117
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:54,590
Mr. Kiku, the girls diving from Roppongi
are connected to Kirito, right?
118
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Yeah, that's right.
119
00:10:56,590 --> 00:11:01,550
Sinon teamed up with Kirito to resolve
the Death Gun Incident six months ago.
120
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,640
And Leafa is Kirito's younger sister.
121
00:11:05,390 --> 00:11:08,560
We can do it!
We might be able to restore it, then!
122
00:11:08,770 --> 00:11:10,706
Kirito's self-image, that is!
123
00:11:10,730 --> 00:11:15,416
If we can extract the image of Kirito
saved onto their Fluctlights,
124
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,860
and connect it to the areas he's lost...
125
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,160
That should do it!
126
00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:24,370
You're kidding me!
127
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,790
The only place we can do all that
is the Main Control Room!
128
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,550
Don't be so disappointed, Higa. It's
good knowing that there's hope for Kirito.
129
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,906
We can launch the actual operation
after all this is resolved,
130
00:11:40,930 --> 00:11:43,366
and those people have been
driven off the Ocean Turtle.
131
00:11:43,390 --> 00:11:45,930
But by then it'll be too late!
132
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,996
If the commando unit
from the naval escort Asahi storms in,
133
00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:54,480
and a huge battle ensues in the Main Shaft, the
sub-power would probably get knocked out, too.
134
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:56,376
If that were to happen,
135
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,150
Kirito would be forcibly logged out
of the Underworld while still unconscious.
136
00:12:01,450 --> 00:12:06,716
And then most likely, Kirito wouldn't make
it past the initialization stage to log in,
137
00:12:06,740 --> 00:12:09,250
and he'll never be able to
connect to the STL again.
138
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,686
{\an8}That's why, no matter what,
139
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:19,300
{\an8}we have to treat him while he and those three
girls are still diving in the Underworld.
140
00:12:20,670 --> 00:12:23,220
I'm going, okay, Mr. Kiku?
141
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:26,010
Going... where?
142
00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:32,406
STL Room Two, where Kirito is now,
and Maincon below the pressure bulkhead
143
00:12:32,430 --> 00:12:35,560
are connected by a cable duct
on the stern side of the Main Shaft.
144
00:12:36,110 --> 00:12:39,780
There should be a
maintenance connector in there.
145
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,360
I should be able to control
Kirito's STL from there.
146
00:12:44,860 --> 00:12:49,006
But the maintenance connector is on
the other side of the pressure bulkhead.
147
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:52,636
If they notice you,
you could get attacked from below.
148
00:12:52,660 --> 00:12:54,936
So let's go with a decoy operation.
149
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Decoy, did you say?
150
00:12:57,380 --> 00:13:01,066
Of course, we wouldn't send in
valuable human resources.
151
00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:02,816
Once we unlock the pressure bulkhead door,
152
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,180
we'll have it charge down the stairs
for humans on the other side of the duct.
153
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:08,340
That.
154
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,970
I see.
155
00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:14,890
You mean Ichiemon.
156
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:20,416
Hold on! All that one can do now
is slowly go up and down stairs.
157
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,490
It can't possibly rush back here
if the enemy spots it!
158
00:13:24,650 --> 00:13:28,320
I do feel bad for Ichiemon,
but he's just going to have to do his best.
159
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:32,830
But given the way he looks,
the enemy might not open fire on him.
160
00:13:33,370 --> 00:13:37,306
Well, that's true,
he's sure to stick out like a sore thumb,
161
00:13:37,330 --> 00:13:42,050
so we can probably convince them
that we have an epic plan up our sleeves.
162
00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:45,146
At the very least,
they won't be able to ignore him!
163
00:13:45,170 --> 00:13:48,406
So while the enemy's dealing with Ichiemon,
164
00:13:48,430 --> 00:13:50,616
I'll infiltrate the lower cable duct,
165
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,970
and operate Kirito's STL
through the maintenance connector.
166
00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:55,680
While we're at it...
167
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:58,650
do you think we could deploy Niemon, too?
168
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:00,400
Unfortunately, that's not possible.
169
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:05,546
Like I said before, without a balancer,
170
00:14:05,570 --> 00:14:08,296
Niemon will only fall over
as soon as he starts descending the stairs.
171
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,320
I see.
172
00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:14,556
But Higa, even if you did fool them
long enough to unlock the bulkhead,
173
00:14:14,580 --> 00:14:18,346
there'd still be some
risk of you being spotted.
174
00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:21,726
Shouldn't you take a bodyguard with you?
175
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:26,356
No. As it stands now,
we can't spare any of the JSDF staff.
176
00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:32,510
Besides, the only one who can easily move through
that cramped duct... is scrawny little me!
177
00:14:33,390 --> 00:14:36,480
I'm going to zip over,
and zip right back, okay?
178
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:42,690
If it weren't for Kirito, Alice's Fluctlight
wouldn't have become what it is now.
179
00:14:42,980 --> 00:14:46,166
That alone is such a great achievement,
180
00:14:46,190 --> 00:14:48,030
but while trying to protect Alice...
181
00:14:49,150 --> 00:14:55,160
That's why, if there's a chance we
can treat him, we have to take any risk.
182
00:14:55,660 --> 00:14:58,120
Or we won't be able to look him in the eye,
am I right?
183
00:15:00,170 --> 00:15:01,460
Um...
184
00:15:02,170 --> 00:15:05,960
I'll go with you, Chief Higa.
185
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:12,720
As you can see, I'm scrawny, too, but I
think I can at least take a bullet for you.
186
00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:18,350
And besides, I'm the one who's
been maintaining those cables till now.
187
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:24,650
To be honest, I don't really remember
where that maintenance connector is.
188
00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:27,070
So thanks for coming along...
189
00:15:27,530 --> 00:15:28,610
Mr. Yanai.
190
00:15:59,350 --> 00:16:01,060
I've grown tired of this.
191
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,126
Your soul is so heavy.
192
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:07,860
It's too thick. And tedious, as well.
193
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,570
The only thing on your mind is killing me.
194
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:13,990
Begone.
195
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:16,990
Don't be like that.
196
00:16:18,950 --> 00:16:21,330
I've still got enough left to enjoy this!
197
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Just a little longer.
198
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Where are you?
199
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:30,840
Where did you go?
200
00:16:32,050 --> 00:16:33,180
Is that it?
201
00:16:41,180 --> 00:16:42,180
Huh?
202
00:16:42,270 --> 00:16:44,020
Or was it this way?
203
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,230
Thirty seconds more.
204
00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:53,150
There.
205
00:16:54,070 --> 00:16:55,610
Found it.
206
00:16:55,990 --> 00:17:01,950
579... 580... 581... 582!
207
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,750
You're up to something, aren't you?
208
00:17:10,210 --> 00:17:12,210
So I missed, huh?
209
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:17,180
Forgive me, little Asuna... Alice.
210
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:28,360
Hey, now... didn't I tell you to stand by?
211
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:38,120
You've never once disobeyed my orders.
212
00:17:48,170 --> 00:17:53,710
Hoshigami, this moment you've
created for me won't go to waste!
213
00:18:15,490 --> 00:18:19,546
The Time-Splitting Sword Uragiri
is "the sword that slashes time."
214
00:18:19,570 --> 00:18:22,950
I just slashed your past.
215
00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:54,820
So warm.
216
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,740
Father.
217
00:19:07,710 --> 00:19:09,000
Uncle?
218
00:19:11,630 --> 00:19:15,170
That's right, I was captured
by the emperor's flying dragon, and...
219
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:22,930
U-Uncle? Lord Bercouli?
220
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,900
Uncle!
221
00:19:33,020 --> 00:19:34,360
It can't be...
222
00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:48,120
No!
223
00:19:48,290 --> 00:19:51,830
Hey, now. Don't sob like that, little one.
224
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,210
My time was always going to come,
and now it has, that's all.
225
00:19:55,420 --> 00:19:56,420
Right?
226
00:19:57,550 --> 00:20:02,130
You'll be fine, little one.
You can make it on your own now.
227
00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:07,970
After all, you're my only apprentice,
as well as my daughter.
228
00:20:09,180 --> 00:20:12,730
Hey, not a bad way to go, huh?
229
00:20:13,230 --> 00:20:14,440
That's right.
230
00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:19,780
You have so many people who will
cry for you. Consider yourself blessed.
231
00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:25,740
What, you were alive all along?
232
00:20:25,950 --> 00:20:31,250
Of course not!
This is the me that exists in your memory.
233
00:20:32,750 --> 00:20:37,550
The memories of Administrator
you've kept inside your soul.
234
00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:41,630
I'm not sure I get it.
235
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:47,810
Still, I'm glad that in my memories,
you're able to smile like that.
236
00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:17,226
{\an8}Don't you resent me at all?
237
00:21:17,250 --> 00:21:20,686
{\an8}When I'm the one who locked you
in a prison of never-ending time,
238
00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:23,236
{\an8}and robbed you of your memories
over and over?
239
00:21:23,260 --> 00:21:26,406
{\an8}I admit it went on so long it got old,
240
00:21:26,430 --> 00:21:29,430
{\an8}but it was a hell of an interesting life.
241
00:21:30,350 --> 00:21:31,850
{\an8}I mean it.
242
00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:33,180
{\an8}Is that so?
243
00:21:38,190 --> 00:21:40,070
{\an8}Forgive me, Fanatio.
244
00:21:41,230 --> 00:21:44,070
{\an8}It looks like we won't be
seeing each other again.
245
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:48,450
{\an8}I'll leave the rest to you.
246
00:21:56,790 --> 00:22:00,630
{\an8}To give our child a happy life.
247
00:22:13,140 --> 00:22:14,310
{\an8}My lord!
248
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:25,820
{\an8}Have no fear, Lord Bercouli.
249
00:22:26,150 --> 00:22:29,280
{\an8}I will raise this child to be proper.
250
00:22:29,530 --> 00:22:33,490
{\an8}To become a gallant, proud human like you.
251
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,090
Well done, Captain.
252
00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:50,986
Well, you got your butt kicked though, huh?
253
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:52,076
What's the status?
254
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:58,666
Like you ordered, I sent in those 50,000
players we scraped up from all over America.
255
00:22:58,690 --> 00:23:01,416
That bastard Vassago died
and came back once,
256
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,150
but then he got super excited, converted
his personal account, and dove back in.
257
00:23:06,690 --> 00:23:09,086
Oh? I see...
258
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:10,820
I see.
259
00:23:16,410 --> 00:23:22,000
All right, I'm diving in again.
Convert this account to the Underworld.
260
00:23:36,470 --> 00:23:38,890
Next time: Instigation.
261
00:23:38,914 --> 00:23:40,914
