Taboo Index (禁忌目録, Kinki Mokuroku^?) is the tenth episode of the Sword Art Online Alicization anime adaptation. It aired on December 8, 2018.

Plot

Eugeo and Kirito realize that their pages are missing and Kirito leaves to look for them. Soon after, Frenica approaches Eugeo and informs him that the pages intend to confront Humbert for her sake, to stop his abuse of her. Eugeo storms Raios and Humbert's room, where he finds Ronye and Tiese gagged and tied up on a bed. Knowing that the taboo code prevents Eugeo from interfering, Raios and Humbert prepare to rape the girls in front of him, until Eugeo decides to violate the code and cuts off Humbert's arm. In the process of violating the code, Eugeo has to fight against the seal in his right eye, which causes his eye to be destroyed. Raios attempts to execute Eugeo but Kirito arrives and defends him. Kirito fights Raios, cutting off his arms, which leads to him glitching to death, while Humbert escapes. After the incident, an instructor restores Eugeo's eye. The next day both Kirito and Eugeo are handed over to an Integrity Knight and are surprised to discover the knight is none other than Alice.

Adaptation Notes

Adapted from Volume 11, Chapter 5, Parts 4-5

• Eugeo's inner thought that the stormy weather was a manifestation of Alice's displeasure, that it was taking him so much time to save her, was omitted.
• The scene where Eugeo asks Kirito whether he has thought of a name for his sword yet was omitted.
• Eugeo's belief that, even with the authority granted to them by school rules, Raios and Humbert could not harm Ronye and Tiese, due to Imperial Law and the Taboo Index taking precedence, was omitted.
• The mention of the ropes Raios and Humbert used to bind Ronye and Tiese being strict, to prevent the former duo from breaking the Taboo Index by accidentally decreasing the latter duo's Life, was omitted.
• The scene where Raios throws himself onto Tiese was anime original content.
• Eugeo's inner thoughts and criticism of the Taboo Index, as it allowed Raios and Humbert to do as they pleased with Ronye and Tiese, were omitted.
• Tiese telling Eugeo not to get involved, as it would lead to him breaking the Taboo Index, was omitted.
• The scene where Eugeo sees an image of Alice as Tiese is about to be violated was omitted.
• The mention of Eugeo being paralyzed from shock after cutting off Humbert's arm was omitted.
• Raios' claims when he is about to execute Eugeo, about how even his father and uncle never killed before and that this would allow him to surpass Volo Levantein, were omitted.
• The mention of Kirito using Serlut Style «Whirling Current» to counter Raios' «Avalanche», as there was not enough room to use «Vertical Square», was omitted.
  • The mention of Kirito's «Whirling Current» reactivating due to Radios' «Avalanche» pushing it back to its pre-motion stance, restoring its strength and allowing it to overpower Radios' skill, was omitted.
    • The mention of Sortiliena having used the same strategy against Volo was also omitted.
• The scene where Kirito offered Raios a rope to stop his bleeding was anime original content.
• The mention of Raios' death being the result of his Fluctlight collapsing, due to being torn between obeying the Taboo Index and committing a Taboo, was omitted.
• The mention of Kirito and Eugeo only being guilty of decreasing another's Life, as Raios' Fluctlight collapsed on its own, was omitted.

Errors

• In the Light Novel, Alice was wearing the standard white Integrity Knight armor when she came to escort Kirito and Eugeo.
  • In the Anime, however, she wore the golden armor that she wears in all her other depictions.
