Talk:Sword Art Online Episode 21

Predicting the plot
Well from the title itself, i guess they are planning to do away the whole Jotunheim scene. since maybe the whole (or most) of this episode will be dedicated to Asuna's (failed) escape from her captors.

Looks that way... That, or they may just compress it all into a single episode, as they jump to show Asuna's failed escape or something. Not sure.. By the way. After your comment, you should put the ~ ~ ~ ~ at the end of your posts, to mark who you are! xD TUSF 11:47, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

No they can't skip Jotunheim since Tonkii plays a major role in the Caliber SS and they likely won't miss the chance to animate that when the time comes probably, but maybe I'm too optimistic.

Well im trying to be very optimistic. but since i want the first season to have a really good ending, then i guess Jotunheim has to go, considering the current episode lineup. i wished they would add more episodes to fit most of the events, but i guess i/we are asking too much for the anime staff. Skipping Jotunheim will not have a great impact on the anime, the Caliber side story can be shown as a seperate OVA, with flashbacks and stuff, Think of it as reading SAO for the first time, while there were a lot of side stories that were skipped, they are added later. And oopps sorry my first time posting here so im not sure how put the last part of my edit, ill try to do one here, ill edit it if i get it wrong. Ukiyaejl (talk) 15:06, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

They reach Aarun through Jotunheim, so we might at least get the scenery. But to conclude all the events here and also "The Truth about ALfheim", I don't think they can pull that off in one episode. Am I too pessimistic :(

It is true the reached Aarun through Jotunheim, but my point is that even if they didnt show the Jotuneheim scenes, it wont really affect much of the anime. I mean if you've read the novels, and imagined ignoring the whole Jotunheim scene, it really doesnt make a very big impact on the story, exlcuding the fact that it leads to the Caliber side story. Im just saying, if the anime will end at 25 episodes, then cramping both Jotunheim and Asuna's failed escape scene in 1 episode would not be enough, unless they really do it very well without screwing the plot.
