The worst scenario I could imagine is "Kirito after saving Asuna in the game, rushes to the hospital and we see only a glimpse of Asuna smiling then Kirito smiles as well then end credits... no kiss no hugs"

.. if that happen I'll delete all 24 episodes I've been keeping in my folder.

I can see the rage a lot of people will have when they watch this episode. I wonder at which scene this episode will end? I hope the annoying scenes with Sugou will just go fast so that we can see the reunion of Kirito and Asuna in the real world at the end of the episode.

Holy....

the rage will be delicious

thought it probably end when kirito get mod acesss

[Entravity]

Definitely needs more delicious rage. Next episode will be full of rage! MWAHAHAHAH

[sky black swordman]

I can only imagine the rage in the soon to be created Sword Art Online - Episode 24 Discussion / Poll thread, Random Curiosity, and other anime blogs.

Maybe just skip to the part where

Spoiler for Spoiler for ep 24:

Kirito beats Sugou's a**

[Tenoia]

The upcoming rage will certainly be entertaining.

[Divini]

Look at that beautiful frame by frame art that will be the 'ntr' scene.

Bet A-1 spent more money on that than last episode's battle.

[Flere821]

Bleargh, I'm raging already at this part of the plot I've never liked the NTR stuff in SAO, so hopefully it shows Kirito curbstomping Sugou within the same episode.

[Tenoia]

It definitely should. There's no way that that scene will drag on for that long. Besides, these previews have for the most part showed parts from the first half of the upcoming episode. If they are extending the beatdown until the episode after this one, then they're going to run out of time to adapt everything. There is quite a bit of important stuff that occurs after Asuna is rescued, after all.

[Ryousha]

I can't wait for Kirito beat Sugou down after the intervention of Kayaba Akihiko.

The fight won't be that long since the fight in the LN itself isn't even counted as long....probably will only be 5 or so minutes long fight overally.

[MasterVampire]

Why would people be raging at 24?
I dont get it.

You mean apart from Asuna having her clothing ripped off and will be raped if the villain succeeds? And Kirito being grinded down onto the floor because as a player he can't defy cheating GMs? Surely you've read the LNs?

Hmm I probably need to go back and re-read that part, since I thought it would be a bit longer than that. Really, I don't know exactly how the rest of this arc will play out.

Spoiler for Spoilers for when Kirito reaches Asuna; I'll put this here just in case.:

The heavy rape/NTR tones when Kirito gets locked down/paralyzed and Asuna's clothing gets ripped is one reason. The other reason would be Kirito suddenly coming into contact with whatever the hell part of Kayaba that was there, obtaining mod powers, and proceeding to use said mod powers to turn the situation into his favor. I can already tell that all those naysayers are going to have a field day.

[Hooves]

We should just have Kirito falcon punch Sugou

[Divini]

I actually expect more rage from the 'Kayaba out of nowhere pulling a deus ex' than anything else, once the episode airs. Because somehow I have a feeling many viewers won't be able to push their suspension of disbelief that far...

(Although I was perfectly fine with it, only because I wanted Sugou to suffer horribly)

[RRW]

either way episode 24 & 25 will be glorious

That's how the normal anime-only viewers' response should be I think since I might be giving that kind of "WTF why is Kayaba just suddenly appear in ALO !? O.O" if I'm a first-timer. Then again, since the purpose of the haxing help from Kayaba is to pwn back Sugou I won't mind that much too though.

[Prologue]

What happens to Asuna in the light novels during this particular scene?
