Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 16

The Osmanthus Knight (金木犀の騎士) is the sixteenth episode of the Sword Art Online Alicization anime adaptation. It aired on January 26, 2019.

Plot
Eugeo and Kirito manage to overcome Fanatio's fierce resistance and inflict a mortal wound on her. Kirito decides to use one of the sacred daggers given by Cardinal to heal her, despite the fact that they were meant for Alice and the Administrator. Fanatio is then taken away by Cardinal, while Eugeo and Kirito proceed to the 80th floor, where Alice is guarding the entrance to the Administrator's chamber. Kirito engages Alice in combat, hoping to create an opening for Eugeo to use the dagger on her, but their fight causes a breach in the outer wall and both of them are dragged outside by the wind pressure, leaving Eugeo alone and distraught.
