03x42 - Memories

[bunniefuu]

Guess I'll head home.

It's like...

It's like there's something
I need to do right away.

Next, last stop, Hon-Kawagoe, Hon-Kawagoe.

In 2022, mankind finally

built a full virtual environment

Kirito.

Sachi!

Memories

Stop, everyone!

Calm down!

Get a hold of yourselves!

He's a serial k*ller!

Are you going to do what he says?

Don't att*ck our comrades!

Don't give in to his power!

Please! Just hear us out!

Is he a devil?

Just you wait.

I'll wake you up soon.

If you keep lying there in a daze,
everyone's going to die.

If you won't wake up...

then I guess I'll start
by k*lling this guy.

How could you?

It's no use.

I can't even stand.

It's all right.

I know you can stand, Asuna.

Now stand, Asuna.

To protect what you love.

What is it you want?

Isn't it obvious?

The one in black.

Ever since I tried and failed to k*ll him
on floor 5 in Aincrad,

he's been the only thing I want.

Why do you hate Kirito so much?
What did he ever do to you?

Hate?

I thought you, of all people,
would understand how much I love that guy.

In a world full of scumbags, he's the only
guy I could believe in unconditionally.

Never breaking down,
no matter how much I tormented him,

never getting corrupted,
no matter how much I tempted him,

he's always given me hope and joy.

That's why...

it's unforgivable that he ended
up like this when I wasn't around.

I'm going to wake him up no matter what.

And whatever it takes to do that...

I don't care who, or how many thousands,
or tens of thousands,

I'll k*ll them!

Hope? Joy?

Because of what you did,
how much did Kirito... how much...

I figured out how this world works, too.

All the spilled blood and lost lives here
is converted into energy.

Back in Aincrad, the stats of my Mate-Chopper
would do down every time it k*lled a monster,

and the stats would go up
if it slashed a player.

Look.

Here in the Underworld, it's naturally
powering up by absorbing human life.

On this b*ttlefield, all the lives
you people took are swirling around,

as well as the lives
of the Japanese fighters they took.

If everyone starts k*lling each other, it
will flood this place with a lot more life.

And once I've absorbed all of the life,

I'm going to k*ll
every artificial Fluctlight in this world.

All those monsters in the land of darkness,
and the humans in the Human Empire.

If I do that much,
it should wake him up.

If he is the Black Swordsman I believe in.

Don't worry. I won't k*ll you yet.

I'm just going to make sure
you can't interfere anymore.

You need to witness it.

Him waking up,
only to die in my arms.

It's all right.

I'll always be by your side.

Asuna!

You can do it, Asuna!

Asuna! Asuna!

Get up, Asuna!

Asuna!

I won't lose.

To someone like you,
who only knows how to hate...

I will never lose!

Thank you... Yuuki.

Oh no! That man's sword
is absorbing sacred resources!

My allies! This is the true nature
of the Japanese!

These spineless traitors
and the dirty Japanese...

k*ll every last one of them!

Kirito.

Don't! Stop!

Don't!

Tetsuo!

Damn it!

You were a beater...

You never had any right
to get involved with us!

No more! I don't want to see any more!
I don't want to hear any more!

I don't want to remember anymore.
I don't want to know what happens next.

You've hurt Asuna...

way more!

My hand!

I... I'm the one who should've d*ed!

Kirito.

Asuna.

Kirito.

Sinon.

Big Brother.

Sugu.

But...

I don't have any right
to receive your forgiveness.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Asuna.

I'm sorry, Sinon.

Sorry, Sugu.

I can't stand anymore.

I can't fight anymore.

I'm sorry.

Why? How come, Kirito?

This still isn't enough?

Just one more person.

If only there was one more person
with deep ties to Kirito,

who'd accumulated
a strong mental image of him!

What's this connection?

Is it coming from an object
inside the Underworld?

Kirito.

Kirito.

Eugeo!

You're alive, Eugeo?

This is the memory of me
that lives inside you.

And the fragment of memory I left behind.

Memory?

That's right.

Have you forgotten already?

At that time, we were both certain.

Memories...

are right here.

Yeah.

Right here forever.

We're always connected to you.

No matter how far apart we may be.

No matter if we have to part one day.

Memories and feelings will stay
connected forever. Isn't that right?

It's okay, Eugeo?

It's really okay for me
to start walking again?

Of course, Kirito.
So many people are waiting for you.

Now, let's go, together,
to wherever this takes us.

Kirito.

Is this... the scent of roses?

- Enhance Armament.
- Enhance Armament.

That's...

a Perfect w*apon Control art!

Kirito!

I've waited so long for you.

Now, let's dance...

Kirito!

Oh no!

Welcome back, Kirito.

I'm back...

Asuna.

Next time: Awakening.
