Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 05

Departure (旅立ち) is the fifth episode of the Sword Art Online Alicization anime adaptation. It aired on November 3, 2018.

Adaptation Notes

 * Adapted from Volume 10, Chapter 2, Part 1-2


 * Laughing Coffin raid flashbacks were anime original scenes.
 * The entire scene of Kazuto being loaded in an ambulance and his heart stopping when Asuna told the nurse that he was injected with the same drug that Death Gun used, was omitted.
 * Asuna did not notify Suguha, until after Kazuto's operation was over. In the anime however, she had notified her earlier, resulting in Suguha arriving at the hospital with her mother, Midori, in an anime original scene.
 * The scene of Seijirou convincing Mrs. Kirigaya to place Kazuto under his jurisdiction and supposedly transfer him to a military hospital was anime original content.
 * Lisbeth and Silica being present at Asuna's, Leafa's and Sinon's meeting in ALfheim Online was anime original content.
 * The scene where Asuna, Suguha and Ryoutarou check out the harbor and discover the helipad while Shino, Rika and Keiko check Rath's facility in Tokyo was anime original content. They were able to conduct their investigation with the help of Yui, thanks to their Augmas.
 * The scenes of Rinko receiving Asuna's E-Mail, and of her and Kayaba's past relationship were both anime original content.

Trivia

 * One of YUNA's songs, longing, can be heard on the radio when Ryoutarou is driving Asuna and Suguha to the harbor.
