This video is brought to you by Eugeo, who
sacrificed the remaining presence he had within
the Blue Rose Sword to aid Kirito one last
time!
It’s been a long time since Eugeo had his
final breath in Underworld and a much shorter
time since he last appeared as a memory mirage
to sacrifice himself once again to save Kirito.
With all that, things naturally can get confusing
as to what exactly happened to Eugeo that
allowed him to appear after his death, what
happened when he gave away his soul to defeat
the Angel of Death, and what to expect of
him in the future.
Welcome everyone, it’s me Gamerturk, your
best source of Sword Art Online information
and this is a mini Alicization EXPLAINED Special
focusing on Eugeo’s circumstances and how
he is indeed dead.
This should not be a long video as I start
preparing my script, so chances are, I’ll
have 4 timestamps below as Introduction, Death
of Eugeo, Death of Eugeo’s Soul, and Eugeo’s
Future, the final one consisting of some War
of Underworld Epilogue spoilers followed by
Sword Art Online Volume 24 Unital Ring 3’s
cover and illustrations, although I won’t
go into Unital Ring specifics myself and will
direct you to a separate video to talk about
that character.
So if you want to jump to specific events,
those timestamps will be in the description,
along with Amazon and Book Depository affiliate
links so you can grab the Novels for yourselves.
With that, let’s cast away the sly foxes
spreading misinformation and get on with Alicization
EXPLAINED!
First off, let’s quickly cover the relatively
obvious portion and how it ties into later
scenes, Eugeo’s physical, actual death itself.
Obviously, Eugeo has died back in the Human
Realm Arc against Quinella.
However, what he did prior, set certain fundamental
things of Project Alicization in motion to
make sure his soul was preserved.
Divine Weapons in Underworld that possess
a “Perfect Weapon Control”, something
you recognize by the controlled/limited release
method of “Enhance Armament” and unleashing
method of “Release Recollection”, have
those abilities because the weapon itself
has a significant past that is now embedded
in the weapon to allow it those special properties.
This is of course most easily recognizable
if the Weapon is created from a Divine Beast
as the Memory Release function utilizes those
memories embedded in the weapon to bring those
beasts back to life as a mirage of sorts,
Eldrie’s Frostscale Whip turning into the
snake or Deusolbert’s Conflagration Bow
turning into the phoenix is very clear to
see.
The same also works if the weapon is not sourced
by Divine Beasts, just not as visually stunning,
Night Sky Sword’s ability to absorb energy
comes from the fact that the Gegas Cedar did
the same for centuries, but I won’t go deeper
into all the details as the core concept relevant
to us here, is the “Memory of the Sword”,
something that was teased as early as the
first year of the Swordcraft Academy, which
the Anime skipped, which I mentioned back
in my respective Alicization EXPLAINED episode.
Divine Weapons hold data of their past for
these powers to manifest from.
In a sense, they are a mini-database on their
own.
And when Eugeo fused with the Blue Rose Sword,
his existence, much like any other entity,
became a part of the memory of the Blue Rose
Sword, with part of his soul being embedded
into it.
And even when not human or even when not a
Divine Beast, the objects can take initiative
on their own, similar to what we have clearly
seen with Gigas Cedar, most notably during
Kirito vs Volo Levantein battle, when Gigas
Cedar decided to absorb the Spatial Resources
without Kirito doing anything to withstand
the Mountain Splitting Wave.
And that brings us to the second point.
Eugeo’s remaining soul fragments and its
death.
You have seen multiple times in War of Underworld
where Eugeo’s soul within the Blue Rose
Sword supported many people during hard times
and eventually manually requested a direct
connection to Kirito’s Fluctlight to wake
him up.
After that point, it is no longer just the
fragments within the Blue Rose Sword supporting
Kirito, it is also the memories of Eugeo from
Kirito amplifying his manifestation.
Effectively, throughout Volume 18, what stands
by and helps Kirito is the Memory Data of
Eugeo stored inside the Blue Rose Sword, as
well as Kirito’s own Incarnation based on
his memories of Eugeo.
However while Eugeo was there for Kirito until
the very end, the end actually consumed all
his remaining existence at last.
At the end of the battle when Kirito looks
back at the Blue Rose Sword, he explicitly
states that Eugeo’s fragment inside the
Blue Rose Sword was finally consumed to its
fullest by the final battle that took place
next to the World’s End Altar.
This meant that there was no longer an objective
version of Eugeo’s soul lingering within
Underworld.
Which basically means Eugeo is no longer able
to manifest within the world by himself and
in fact, let me make it clearer, Eugeo is
completely gone, snuffed out of existence
completely.
He is no longer alive in any way shape or
form.
Which brings us to the final topic header.
The future, starting with the Volume 18 Alicization
Lasting Epilogue.
If you are watching this video when it goes
live, that means you got 3 more episodes left
for you to get to this scene, so until then,
the following portion will be spoilers and
I recommend you leave for now and come back
in 3 weeks when “that scene” happens,
you will understand when it does.
Please leave a like in the meanwhile and I’ll
give you 3 seconds to stop and leave the video.
3, 2, 1, okay.
The final couple of pages of Sword Art Online
Volume 18, Alicization Lasting is the very
end of the Alicization Epilogue, where Kirito,
Asuna and Alice dive back into Underworld
and instantly come across a gigantic space
monster.
Tiese and Ronye’s descendants, Stica Schtrinen
and Laurannei Arabel watch 4 figures from
afar fighting the space monster.
They were probably too young to recognize
the fabled Star King and Star Queen who had
been “gone” for a while now already from
the world, but the third person, the Golden
Knight, they did recognized from a picture
in the throne room, she was Alice, one of
the most important Integrity Knights of the
War of Underworld that took place 200 years
ago.
And the fourth person they saw, the flaxen
haired boy turned straight towards Stica,
Tiese’s descendant and directly waved at
her smiling softly.
So that brings us here, if we are to believe
Kirito that Eugeo’s soul has been completely
snuffed out by the final battle against Subtilizer,
the only remaining possibility in our hands
at that point is the Eugeo that shows up at
this point, is through Kirito’s own Incarnation,
the same way Asuna summons Yuuki back during
her fight against PoH.
So that is basically it.
Eugeo no longer exists on his own, and the
only reason he appears in the final scene
of the Epilogue is thanks to Kirito’s Incarnation.
But there’s even more in the future of the
series with Eolyne Herlentz making an appearance
who awfully looks like Eugeo.
But I won’t talk about him in this video,
the main reason being, at the time of this
video being made, we know too little about
the gentleman.
But if you are curious, I got two separate
videos on him, one focusing on why he absolutely
cannot be Eugeo unless new rules are introduced
to the narrative and one focusing on all the
illustrations and basic narrative on Sword
Art Online Volume 24, Unital Ring III where
we have a scene with Kirito and Eolyne too,
so if you want more information on the guy,
do check those two videos.
But that’s all I got on Eugeo for you at
this point in time, where Unital Ring III
has been released a way back and no info on
v25 Unital Ring IV for the time being.
