Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 22

Titan of the Sword (剣の巨人) is the twenty-second episode of the Sword Art Online Alicization anime adaptation. It aired on March 16, 2019.

Plot
Kirito, Alice, and Eugeo were struggling to fend off the Genie's attacks, until Kirito decided to target Chudelkin directly. He unleashed a powerful burst of incarnate arts, which altered his appearance to resemble his old outfit from Aincrad. This revealed to Administrator that Kirito was not a native of Underworld, but an intruder from the outside world. She engaged him in a brief conversation, before summoning a monstrous creature composed of swords, which she named Sword Golem. Kirito, Alice, and Eugeo had no chance against the beast, until a giant spider intervened and restrained the Golem. The spider was none other than Charlotte, the observation unit sent by Cardinal. She sacrificed herself to buy time for Eugeo, who followed Cardinal's instructions and stabbed a dagger into a hole in the floor. A portal opened and Cardinal emerged from it. She disabled the Golem with a lightning strike, healed Kirito and Alice's wounds, and lamented Charlotte's demise.
