    This season is really outstanding! Really good I love it, actually I’ve become sao fan because of reading this alicization novel lol (but i won’t spoil anything hhh). These all 4 cours should be in underworld only, so it will be great we have a good story development from zero in this arc. But overall i also like SAO from the start! Keep enjoy!!

    Ok you must be wonder, why is Eugeo so *angry* all the sudden in the past few episodes?

    This is unfortunately a huge chunk of missed characterization. I will attempt to summarize my own interpretation of Eugeo’s development, sort of spoilers ahead.

    ***

    Eugeo is, to a degree, plagued by guilt, ever since he was young.

    It’s not just because he watched Alice taken away from him, but even before that.

    He comes from a family of farmers, but remember what his "duty" was? Tree cutting.

    His family expected an extra pair of helping hands, but Eugeo cannot fufil that, thus shunning him, even though his entire salary from tree cutting goes to his family.

    When he left the village with Kirito, naturally, his family receives no further additional salary from Eugeo’s work. Eugeo thus aspired to become an integrity knight to one day recompense his family.

    But ever since he cut Humbert’s arm off, that goes down the drain as well.

    In short, Eugeo no longer sees himself on a "righteous path".

    What’s worse, in Cardinal’s library, Eugeo spent quite some time reading over history books.

    This is not just because he is a studious history nerd, but he wanted to know something.

    Eugeo wanted to know that, in the recorded history of the Human society, has there been any "criminals" like him, and what path lies ahead of them.

    No such record exists.

    Effectively, Eugeo sees himself as the first criminal.

    Eugeo sees himself as *a monster*.

    He no longer can expect to live a normal life, even after getting Alice’s memories back.

    Thats the first part of Eugeo’s characterization.

    The second part, after the encounter in the last episode with Deuselbert, he views the church and the integrity knights as wicked beings who twist and manipulates peoples. As a result, he resolves to swing his sword with anger.

    However, Fanatio was not what he expected. Her convictions are to maintain the society’s peace and order, her actions are that of justice. Because, if Kirito and Eugeo does win in the end, the human society may very well be thrown into chaos.

    Eugeo struggles to accept that there can be justice within the church, thus his line.

    "how can you possibly act in the name of justice" (the sub translation is a bit weird)
