Review of Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld Part 2

It wasn't boring but it wasn't up to expectations maybe! I'll conclude both the seasons in just 6 points. (being honest 2nd season doesn't even have anything to be discussed, so most of the conclusion is from season 1🙄) 1. The end of Kirito's heroic abilities is the start of this series. 6 months already have passed after the fight with Quinella. Alice is taking care of Kirito, who's in a constant state of Coma, doesn't recognise anyone because all he does is that he eats when he's hungry (Alice feeds him), drinks when he's thirsty (of course Alice Takes care of him), sleeps when he'ssleepy(sometimes even With Alice on the same bed because he's too unconscious to realize that he's with a girl😂), doesn't talk since he can't move his body (not even his lips). The beginning was so frightening, that It left me speechless.. How on earth Kirito became like this? Was it because he couldn't save Eugeo? Was he sad to THIS extent that his body became like THIS? THESE were My thoughts.. The thing that made me emotional was, Kirito unknowingly grabbing Eugeo's sword whenever anyone would try to touch it. Even in his unconsciousness, he remembers Eugeo and his sword because he loves Eugeo more than anyone! All that is left of Eugeo is his sword, (this was very Saddening..) His unconsciousness is filled only with the regret and sadness of not being able to save Eugeo during the fight with Quinella because of which he's considering himself a person who should never be forgiven. He considers himself at fault that's why he's not responding, being in a state of helplessness even when a war is about to start in underworld. Alice is taking care of him only because she has fallen in love with him, after he saved her from Quinella.

2. I won't lie if I'll say that I watched this season, till last episode, ONLY IN THE HOPE that Kirito will wake up, but he didn't wake up from coma, in the WHOLE SEASON.🙄 We, the audience, are so accustomed of seeing him saving everyone that Even I was expecting his HEROIC Awakening so soon 😂 For me, it wasn't easy to accept that he's not going to take part in the WAR because of this coma state. But YES, This happened! And it really pissed me off since Sword Art Online is nothing without KIRITO so how could anyone enjoy this season. 🤷🏻‍♀️

3. Major Part of this season involves FIGHTING SCENES of Dark territory with HUMAN territory, it involves the coordination of army, their leaders & Soldiers. All the fighters of Central Cathedral, who were once against Kirito, now were hoping to see Kirito again on the battle field because everyone admired him because of his commendable Fighting qualities. Plus, they were already short of soldiers after Quinella died, they wanted someone strong to fight Dark territory. Quinella, who once made all of the leaders & soldiers so strong, we hated this fact back then when they were fighting against Kirito. But now it became the reason we were assured of human territory's victory in this war, thinking "WOW, QUINELLA SURELY DID A RIGHT THING BY MAKING THEM STRONG." Alice and Bercouli are Amazing leaders, it was proved during this war. Secondly, all the time, Kirito unconsciously wanted to fight, but couldn't move his body. Especially a scene, where his disciples were about to be attacked by some dark territory soldiers (More precisely monsters😑) Kirito couldn't lift the sword, but he was constantly trying, even when he was unable to do anything, unconsciously.. This fact was really saddening..

4.Another villain Was introduced in this season, who already had been acquainted with Sinon in Season 2, Gabriel. Being very honest, his influence wasn't strong enough to scare the audience, like Quinella had. Every audience had a general idea that Once Kirito would wake up, this person is going to be defeated by him anyway! The only fact that he was MERCILESS, triggered this thought that he'll harm Alice. Alice could get hurt, this thought was scary, since ALICE NEEDED TO BE SAFE, everything happened because of Alice's safety. So, until she was taken back to the real world, she had to be kept safe. Other than that, nobody could find him scary. (Kirito had faced hundred times tougher opponents, who was he? 😂). Gabriel was the one who started the war actually, not worrying about the lives of people of Dark Territory, (Despite being their emperor) which brought quite a disturbance amongst their Army leaders. They were beginning to rebel against Gabriel because of his unconcerned decisions and many of them sided with Humans eventually.

5. Asuna came back to this Underworld, as Stacia who's a Goddess of Creation, to help Human territory in this fight against Dark territory. She primarily came to assure Kirito that she is never going to leave him. Kirito despite being unable to recognise anyone, reacts ultimately after Seeing Asuna in front of her. She knew right at the moment when she saw him, how lonely he had been in this world for so many months, especially after Eugeo's death, so her words "You did well! I'm here now. It's okay" made Kirito cry ultimately. Even though he couldn't speak, yet he kept crying because finally he was assured Asuna is there. (Yes😍His unconscious was aware of Asuna.) I had a hope that Kirito would wake up from Coma if he'll see Asuna but it didn't happen, which is also quite unpredictable. Sinon also came to see Kirito and to help Human territory in the fight against dark territory. Now the twist in the plot began (in the real world).

6. Since all of this was happening in Virtual world, but what actually was happening in the real world was also shown alongside. Kikouka and his ally Higa were constantly keeping an eye on Kirito's fluctlight (actually they were the ones who sent Asuna in the first place to help Kirito in awakening) and Higa noticed a huge change in his fluctlight ever since Asuna and Sinon went to see Kirito. He was about to get awaken, but all Kirito needed was some work outside the Underworld that could only be done by Kikouka and Higa (but they were attacked so they couldn't get it finished so easily). This all technology thing will be understood only when one watches this series, but all I remember is, that Kirito's fluctlight needed a Collection of memories from SAO SURVIVORS who already had entered Underworld, especially Kirito's close allies, Asuna, Leafa, Sinon, Lisbeth, Klein etc, so that they could assure him that HE WASN'T THE ONE who CAUSED EUGEO'S DEATH. This needed to be done sooner, Higa had to do it, because Human territory needed him.

Now this was all Season 1 (till episode 12) but, Kirito didn't wake up, till the end of this season.😑 What the audience could do, was to wait for Kirito's awakening! That's it. It was really difficult to see a war where no Old character was there, except Alice.
Bercouli was really Admirable in stopping Gabriel from harming Alice. He fought with Gabriel and amazingly he defeated him. His death after that victory was so upsetting 🙄

Till episode 6 of season 2, Kirito didn't wake up. (just imagine how slow this season was🙄) Last 5 episodes were the ones, where we saw Kirito's strong powers and he also used Eugeo's broken Sword.
The only thing noticeable in season 2 Bercouli's death and Eugeo becoming the reason of Kirito's awakening.

Kirito never forgot Eugeo, even when he was fighting. He cried tons and tons of time, while missing him, asking for his forgiveness. Whenever he was about to lose, Eugeo came to encourage him in his unconsciousness and Lift him up against the enemy. Eugeo, despite dying, became Kirito's strength. ❤️ The only Factor, I loved.This was the only incident that left the Audience with some emotional feelings.

Story: 4/10 - that's also because of a good beginning (Kirito's Coma state) Other than that, everything was predictable and very slow.

Music: 5/10 - background music might fit the situations, otherwise I didn't find the openings and endings worthy enough to be heard or loved.

Art: 9/10 - the only Factor to be praised was Art. Animation was amazing.

Enjoyment 5/10
I enjoyed only when Eugeo didn't die in Kirito's heart. I enjoyed only when Asuna and Kirito's love still was blooming.
The fights and technology things dragged this WAR OF UNDERWORLD so much that enjoyment wasn't possible.
Overall I'll give it 6/10.
