Killer Bee has a beat following him lmao

How old is Killer Bee?!

That's the squid lmao

They aren't the Tailed Beasts themselves. They just have it sealed in them. They didn't ask for it, either. It's misdirected anger. And if they actually decide to stop putting up with the shit and go on a rampage, the higher ups would probably just brush it off because "jinchuriki is needed for the greater good."

It comes off as fake and trivializing the issue.

That's what happened?!

Yeah the whole shunning of the jinchurikis doesn't make any sense.

He looks kind of like Choji. Why didn't the attack work? He couldn't go through with it? It hit the swords on his back?

That's what I thought.

Lmao just tell me his life story.

I'll just quote myself from that other thread. For whatever it's worth, Reki put out these statements after the episode aired in Japan. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-12-11/reki-kawahara-apologizes-to-voice-actors-for-latest-sword-art-online-episode/.140635 Sword Art Online author Reki Kawahara took to Twitter to apologize to the anime's voice actors after the latest episode of Sword Art Online: Alicization aired on Saturday night. The episode is widely considered the most graphic and violent of the series to date. The episode streamed on Crunchyroll opens with a content warning for "violence and sexual assault." Kawahara said: "Ms. Ishihara, who plays Tiese, and Ms. Kondo, who plays Ronye, both performed a painful scene with aplomb. Thank you so much! And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Reina Kondo responded to Kawahara's tweet, saying, "Thank you! I think that everyone became stronger because of the experience! I will continue to work hard alongside Ronye. I'm looking forward to what happens next." In a later tweet, Kawahara expressed further ambivalence about the episode's content and offered an explanation for why the series contains multiple instances of sexual assault. "This may be a bit late, but if you're wondering why SAO has so many of those scenes, a considerable number of light novels (although they weren't called light novels back then), epic sagas, and adventure stories I read back in middle school contained those plot elements. I would cite Ōgun Hakusha (Gold Spur) as a representative title. My writing was bound to that as if it were under a spell. "These days, the spell has finally worn off. Nowadays I would prefer to express catharsis through other means. If it was an absolutely necessary scene for the story, I would write it, but I would prefer to do that in a book that isn't a light novel." Kawahara also indicated his surprise at the anime adaptation, which he believes made the content in his novels even more extreme. "I believe that the level of grittiness in SAO is extremely average for light novels. The directing, animation, and voice acting in the anime are too powerful, which has absolutely boosted the impact [of the scenes]. Who would have thought Raios would make such an exaggerated jump...!" ~ So, Reki apologized for the scene, and said he isn't going to put rape in his stories anymore. He said he was influenced by light novels he read in middle school that had rape in them. I would say that someone shouldn't be reading stories with rape in them at that age, but I can't remember what grade we read To Kill a Mocking Bird in. I think it may have been before high school. Either way, I doubt the books Reki read were trying to impart any such wisdom on these issues the way To Kill a Mocking Bird was. And apparently the anime made it even worse and more over-the-top?! Why?! Are the SAO anime staff known for making stuff so over-the-top? Is that why some of the villains act like they came out of Deadman Wonderland?

Yeah I was able to figure that out after hearing him for a while last week. Who was Humbert?

Sounds like they're making asses of themselves. Linking to sex abuse helplines over this comes off as insulting and disrespectful to victims, when it's obvious they're just throwing a fit over a TV show.

I wonder if that cat is akin to Yuno's fairy or Fana's dragon. It's not an elemental spirit though and seems specific to her magic and Vanessa herself.

I've been saying for a while now that Black Clover does better by the women than My Hero Academia. And a few others too it seems.

Man we saw Noelle decapitated and then stabbed but thankfully the kitty stopped it! Witch Queen keeps getting trolled! Lmao that's her hair.

A Red Thread of Fate?! So that's how thread magic could affect fate. The cat is like a familiar. I love how playful and innocent it seems, but so powerful.

What the hell is going on?!

Yami? What is he doing here? Yami like a bishonen here lmao. Yami vs. Queen of the Witches. Wish we saw that. Even Yami didn't stand a chance against her?

Bitch Queen not taking any deals. She put Vanessa in jail until she performs a spell that her magic isn't even suited for? Wtf? Other witches can leave but not her? In the cage from childhood to teens?!

It freezed during the commercial break for JoJo for me. I thought it fixed by the time Black Clover came on but it freezed again. I'm staying on the Adult Swim simulcast from now on just to be safe.

Of course she picks Noelle first. That cunt.

Yay CN is working on SuddenLink again! Ladros turned over a new leaf pffffffffft.

Speak for yourself. Yes it was a bad scene but the show is fine aside from this. SAO does well so it's not accurate to say no one wanted it.

Dumb spying kid, you're going to get yourself in trouble or worse. That was close. No you aren't overthinking it Kira. Thought you were smarter than that! Oh crap the kid overheard all that.
