[00:07] Sortieliena
    Kirito.
[00:09] Ronie
    Kirito-senpai.
[00:13] Asuna
    Welcome back, Kirito.
[00:19] Vassago
    So you're finally awake, huh?
[00:22] Vassago
    Seriously, you're the best, Kirito.
[00:38] Vassago
    All right, let's pick up where we left off.
[00:41] Vassago
    What got put on hold back in Aincrad.
[00:46] Vassago
    The continuation of "showtime!"
SIGN    Awakening
[02:39] Vassago
    Come on. Don't let me down, all right?
[02:48] Vassago
    I've been waiting almost two years
    for this day.
[03:03] Vassago
    Just throw away that crappy sword
    and use your left hand.
[03:07] Vassago
    Those guys you froze
    killed a ton of your comrades.
[03:12] Kirito
    I know how you do things.
[03:15] Kirito
    Turning people on each other,
    sowing the seeds of hatred,
[03:18] Kirito
    and inciting the next battle.
[03:20] Kirito
    You really messed with us in SAO,
[03:23] Kirito
    but you won't get away with that
    in this world!
[03:26] Kirito
    No way!
[03:28] Vassago
    Yeah? Then what will you do?
[03:31] Vassago
    Once the ice melts, those guys are going
    to massacre all of your precious friends.
[03:36] Vassago
    The only way you can stop that
    is to kill those guys first.
[03:39] Vassago
    Go on, give the order.
[03:42] Vassago
    To slaughter them all!
[03:48] Vassago
    Well, if you want to be stubborn and die,
    that's fine.
[03:53] Vassago
    Don't worry. After I kill you,
    I'll put Lightning Flash and the others,
[03:59] Vassago
    every last one of them, into the ground!
[04:08] Asuna
    Kirito!
[04:13] Tiese
    Please. Kirito-senpai....
[04:33] Vassago
    How are you...?
[04:44] Eugeo
    Let's do this, Kirito!
[04:46] Kirito
    Eugeo.
[05:15] Kirito/Eugeo
    - Release Recollection!
    - Release Recollection!
[05:30] Asuna
    What was that?
[05:43] Asuna
    Are those the players' life resources?
[05:47] Asuna
    Kirito is logging them out
    so they won't suffer, right?
[05:52] Vassago
    You bastard, you've got to be kidding me!
[05:55] Asuna
    No! Not again!
[05:57] Yuuki
    It's all right.
[06:00] Yuuki
    Look.
[06:03] Vassago
    What? Why aren't the resources coming to me?
[06:08] Yuuki
    You said so, didn't you, Asuna?
[06:10] Yuuki
    That "life is for transporting
    and imparting souls."
[06:13] Yuuki
    And all the people from these different countries
    who came to this world
[06:16] Yuuki
    don't really want to kill each other.
[06:19] Yuuki
    Everyone wants the same thing.
    An exciting and thrilling world.
[06:24] Yuuki
    Like the land of fairies where you and I met.
[06:27] Yuuki
    They want to go to a beautiful, fun,
    and joyous world.
[06:31] Yuuki
    That's all there is to it.
[06:33] Asuna
    Yes.
[06:36] Asuna
    You're right, Yuuki.
[06:48] Kirito
    Release Recollection.
[06:58] Vassago
    Damn it!
[07:02] Tiese
    Eugeo-senpai once told me.
[07:04] Tiese
    Kirito-senpai's black sword
    used to be a huge black cedar tree
[07:09] Tiese
    in the far north of the Human Empire.
[07:11] Sortiliena
    I see. That's why
    that sword can absorb sacred resources.
[07:43] Asuna
    Kirito.
[07:49] Vassago
    You really are the best, Kirito.
[07:53] Vassago
    You're the only one who's made me want to kill
    of my own free will this much.
[07:59] Vassago
    It's a shame to end this now,
    but no venue could ever top this one.
[08:06] Vassago
    Now, let's have some fun, Black Swordsman!
[08:09] Kirito
    Yeah. Let's end this.
[08:36] Kirito
    Burst Element!
[10:00] Vassago
    Impressive. That's more like it.
[10:04] Vassago
    But it's not over yet.
[10:07] Vassago
    Even if I log out of this world,
    I'll never stop coming after you guys.
[10:14] Vassago
    Until I've slit your and Lightning Flash's throats
    and ripped out your hearts,
[10:21] Vassago
    I'll just keep coming!
[10:23] Kirito
    No. It's over now.
[10:31] Kirito
    You'll never log out of the Underworld.
[10:45] Kirito
    This sword was originally
    the Demon Tree in Rulid Village.
[10:49] Kirito
    A giant tree the villagers couldn't chop down
[10:52] Kirito
    even after swinging their axes
    for two hundred years.
[10:54] Kirito
    I just sent the memory of this sword
    into your body.
[10:58] Kirito
    I don't know how many years or decades it will take
    before you're let out of the STL,
[11:03] Kirito
    but you'd better pray it's not too long.
[11:07] Kirito
    Someday, when pioneers
    build a village around here,
[11:10] Kirito
    maybe some kids
    will chop you down with an ax.
[11:22] Kirito
    System Call.
[11:23] Kirito
    Transfer Durability, Right to Area.
[11:51] Klein
    Kirito.
[11:53] Klein
    Kirito, bro.
[11:56] Klein
    You're always stealing the spotlight,
    way too much!
[12:06] Ronie
    Senpai!
[12:09] Agil
    Seriously, he's something else.
[12:12] Lisbeth
    Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
[12:15] Silica
    Yes! I'm so glad he's okay!
[12:34] Renly
    I knew from the moment I first met him.
[12:38] Renly
    That he and those two swords would save us all.
[12:42] Asuna
    Yes.
[12:45] Kirito
    Everyone, thank you.
[12:48] Kirito
    I definitely won't let your feelings,
    or all the blood and tears you shed, go to waste.
[12:53] Kirito
    Truly, thank you.
[13:04] Asuna
    Kirito, Emperor Vecta and Alice are...
[13:08] Kirito
    Right. It's hazy,
    but I remember the situation.
[13:12] Kirito
    Let's go rescue her.
    I'll need your help, Asuna.
[13:34] Kirito
    Excuse me.
[13:36] Asuna
    What? Wait. Kirito?
[13:38] Kirito
    Okay, we're off.
[13:54] Critter
    Damn! What's that moron Vassago doing?
[14:02] Critter
    The JSDF commando unit will storm in
    in eight hours and twenty minutes.
[14:07] Critter
    Per Captain Miller's orders,
    once eight hours are left,
[14:10] Critter
    I'm supposed to resume
    time acceleration inside the Underworld.
[14:14] Critter
    It can't be helped.
    Vassago, hang on a little longer.
[14:25] Critter
    I need a key.
[14:28] Brigg
    Let me handle this.
[14:30] Rinko
    Hey, Higa! Hey, I'm talking to you!
[14:34] Rinko
    Open your eyes! Come on!
[14:41] Higa
    H-How's Kirito?
[14:43] Rinko
    Kirigaya's Fluctlight activity
    has been completely restored.
[14:47] Rinko
    It's almost too active now, to be honest.
[14:50] Higa
    I-Is that right?
[14:53] Kikuoka
    Really, now. After I told you not to overdo it.
[14:56] Kikuoka
    Although I'm to blame for not realizing
    we had a mole among the tech staff.
[15:02] Higa
    What's going on with the Underworld
    and with Alice?
[15:05] Kikuoka
    The players connected from America, China,
    and South Korea have logged out.
[15:12] Higa
    They came from China and South Korea, too?
[15:14] Higa
    Not as reinforcements, but as enemies?
[15:17] Rinko
    Apparently someone played on
    their mutual animosity as online gamers
[15:21] Rinko
    to lure them into the Underworld.
[15:24] Higa
    Is that right?
[15:27] Kikuoka
    The 2,000 players from Japan
    who came as reinforcements were mostly wiped out.
[15:32] Kikuoka
    At that point, there were still more than 20,000 Chinese
    and South Korean players left,
[15:37] Kikuoka
    but luckily, that was when Kirito woke up,
    and in a flash he—
[15:42] Kikuoka
    Wh-What?
[15:46] Critter
    N-No way.
[15:49] Machine
    Fluctlight Acceleration rate safety limiter disengaged.
[15:52] Machine
    Fifteen minutes
    until maximum-acceleration phase.
[15:56] Machine
    For any personnel in the Soul Translators,
    please initiate disengagement protocol immediately.
[16:01] Rinko
    What does maximum acceleration mean?
[16:04] Rinko
    Isn't the FLA rate limit 1,200?
[16:07] Higa
    1,200 is the safety limit factoring in the lifespan
    of a real-world human's soul.
[16:13] Higa
    5,000 is the limit at which
    we can observe the Underworld.
[16:18] Higa
    Neither are the hardware limit
    imposed by physical constraints.
[16:21] Rinko
    Th-Then what is the hardware-based limit?
[16:25] Higa
    During the maximum-acceleration phase,
    the FLA rate will be just over 5 million.
[16:30] Higa
    The two STLs in Roppongi connected by satellite
    will disconnect automatically
[16:34] Higa
    once they can't keep up with the speed,
[16:37] Higa
    but in the case of Kirito and Asuna,
    here on the Ocean Turtle...
[16:40] Rinko
    Are you serious? Then hurry!
[16:42] Higa
    - Hurry, we have to get them out of those STLs!
    - But the initial acceleration phase has already begun!
[16:47] Higa
    If we pull them out of the machines now,
    it will damage their Fluctlights!
[16:52] Rinko
    Then start the disengagement protocol right now!
[16:55] Higa
    Mr. Kiku, I'm going down there again.
[16:59] Kikuoka
    All right. I'll go with you this time.
[17:01] Kikuoka
    I should have enough stamina
    to carry you down that ladder on my back.
[17:04] Nakanishi
    It's too risky, Lieutenant Colonel!
    Allow me to undertake that mission—
[17:07] Kikuoka
    No, I need you all to defend the stairs.
[17:11] Kikuoka
    Since we'll be opening the bulkhead again.
[17:14] Kikuoka
    And you'll be engaging the enemy directly,
    so the danger will be greater for you.
[17:18] Kikuoka
    Even so, I must ask you to go.
[17:22] Nakanishi
    Understood!
[17:27] Higa
    Mr. Kiku!
[17:29] Higa
    When I was operating the STL earlier,
    I secured a communication channel with Kirito!
[17:34] Higa
    You can reach him on line C-12!
[17:37] ---
    Why do I need to?
[17:38] Higa
    Have him escape from inside!
[17:43] Asuna
    Is Alice... safe?
[17:45] Kirito
    She hasn't been captured yet.
[17:47] Kirito
    But there's a massive presence chasing her.
[17:50] Asuna
    I see.
[17:51] Asuna
    Then we'll protect her.
[17:55] Kikuoka
    Kirito!
[17:56] Kikuoka
    Kirigaya! Can you hear me? Kirito!
[18:00] Kirito
    Mr. Kikuoka?
[18:01] Kirito
    There's no system console, so how—
[18:04] Kikuoka
    I don't have time to explain.
[18:06] Kikuoka
    The situation is dire.
    The time acceleration rate...
[18:10] Kikuoka
    They've disengaged the FLA limiter!
[18:12] Kirito
    Limiter?
[18:13] Kikuoka
    According to Higa's calculations,
    no matter how fast we disconnect the STLs,
[18:18] Kikuoka
    two hundred years will have passed in there.
[18:21] Kirito
    Two hundred?
[18:23] Kikuoka
    Listen, Kirito. You have ten minutes.
[18:26] Kikuoka
    You have to reach the console by then,
    and log out manually.
[18:30] Kikuoka
    You can't log out by depleting your HP.
[18:32] Kikuoka
    If you die after
    the maximum-acceleration phase starts,
[18:35] Kikuoka
    you'll spend two hundred years there
    in a state of total sensory deprivation!
[18:38] Kirito
    Got it. I'll find a way
    to get out through the console.
[18:42] Kirito
    Of course, I'll bring Alice with me,
    so be ready for that.
[18:47] Kikuoka
    Thanks.
[18:48] Kikuoka
    But I want you two to prioritize your escape
    over securing Alice now.
[18:53] Kikuoka
    Listen. Even if we can delete your memories
    after you log out,
[18:56] Kikuoka
    two hundred years is far longer
    than the life span of the human soul.
[19:01] Kikuoka
    The odds of you regaining normal consciousness...
    are almost zero!
[19:07] Kirito
    Don't worry. We'll definitely get back.
[19:10] Kirito
    And Mr. Kikuoka,
[19:12] Kirito
    six months ago... no, last night,
    sorry for the harsh things I said to you.
[19:16] Kikuoka
    No, we certainly deserved to be criticized.
[19:21] Kikuoka
    It looks like Higa's ready.
    I have to go now.
[19:25] Kirito
    Okay.
[19:26] Kirito
    I'll see you in ten minutes, Mr. Kikuoka.
[19:30] Asuna
    Kirito, did Mr. Kikuoka contact you?
[19:33] Asuna
    Is something wrong?
[19:35] Kirito
    No. Time acceleration's resuming in ten minutes,
    so he wants us to hurry up.
[19:42] Asuna
    Right, we can't stay like this,
    or it wouldn't be fair to Alice.
[19:47] Asuna
    Come on, let's go rescue her!
[19:49] Kirito
    Yeah. I'm going to fly again.
[20:14] Alice
    Amayori and Takiguri.
[20:16] Alice
    This is farewell.
[20:18] Alice
    This is my final order.
[20:20] Alice
    Fly back to the Human Empire and return
    to the dragon nests in the Western Empire.
[20:23] Alice
    Amayori, find a husband,
    and Takiguri, find a wife.
[20:27] Alice
    Have many babies
    and raise them to be strong.
[20:31] Alice
    Strong, strong children who will someday
    be able to carry knights as they fly.
[20:44] Alice
    Now, go!
[20:50] Alice
    Ama... yori?
[20:55] Alice
    No! Don't!
[21:35] Alice
    Amayori!
[22:00] Alice
    Kirito.
[23:36] Kirito
    Next time: The Night-Sky Blade.
