AMAZING EPISODE - the feels just keep flooding in - so endearing and sad - the finale will induce serious tears - (also wondering if they will hint to upcoming events and possibly have s3 - i really dont see why not)\r
this adaptation is just so well done at this point (the writting, VAs, Animation of course)\r
Love the development for Asuna and showcasing how strong Yuuki is\r
the resolution between Asuna and her Mother was great as well\r
Mothers Rosario GREATNESS\r

Setting:Mothers Rosario (マザーズ・ロザリオ, Mazāzu Rozario?) is a side story in the Sword Art Online series that takes place in-between the Phantom Bullet and Alicization arcs.\r
Plot Summary:While Asuna, Leafa, Silica and Lisbeth were doing their homework in Kirito and Asunas Log House on the 22nd Floor of New Aincrad, Lisbeth informed Asuna of a player known as Absolute Sword who was challenging players on the 24th Floor, while offering an 11-hit Original Sword Skill as a reward. Asuna was told that the mysterious player had actually converted from a different game and that over thirty players who had attempted to challenge the player, including Leafa and even Kirito, were defeated. Hearing that Kirito had said something to the player before being defeated and not sharing what he had said with the others and thinking that the mysterious player had come for a reason, Asuna decided to challenge the player as well.To her surprise, the player was actually a girl, named Yuuki. Asuna battled intensely and even managed to force Yuuki to use her powerful Original Sword Skill, but was still defeated. However, Yuuki then suddenly asked her to come with her and Asuna was brought to a bar in Ronbaru, the main city of the 27th Floor, where she was introduced to Yuukis guild, called Sleeping Knights, which consisted of six players who had all converted from other games. The guild told Asuna that they were looking for a player who was as strong as Yuuki to fill in the last remaining slot in their party and help them defeat the next Floor Boss to have their names etched on the Monument of Swordsmen
