The first part of Sword Art Online III Alicization had premiered in October 2018 and
then followed by the second chapter of the story on Sword Art Online III – War of the Underworld which aired in
October 2019. Personally, I am more amazed and left in awe with how amazing the
entire Alicization Arc is but the real excitement for me really
started with the War of the Underworld which really gives so much drama and
action. In fact, War of the Underworld
landed at no. 6 of my top 40 anime list of 2019 just behind the other giants like Attack on Titan,
Vinland Saga, and Dr. Stone.
In this post, I will share several details that
we need to know about the upcoming anime which includes its release date, the
returning cast & staff, as well as what to expect from it based on
available information from the novel.
Sword Art Online III – War of the Underworld: The Last Season Release Date
Also known as Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of the Underworld Part 2, the anime release is scheduled on April 25, 2020, as part of the
spring anime lineup. Furthermore, there will be a special episode which will be
released on April 11 and a recap of the first-cour of War of the Underworld on
April 18. The anime will premiere on several Japanese TV stations including
Tokyo MX, BS11, MBS, and AbemaTV. [Update: Due to CoVid-19 issues in Japan, Sword Art Online III War of the Underworld Part 2 release had been moved to summer 2020.
Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of the Underworld Part 2
There had been teaser video for Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of the Underworld Part 2 and it shows Asuna, Sinon, and Leafa taking their
stance against the Dark God Vecta as the Underworld had been in a dire
situation after our evil guy captured the priestess of light – Alice. In the
trailer, Kirito finally has his awakened appearance and therefore, he’ll
definitely be in action in this climactic showdown of good and evil for the survival
of the Underworld and its inhabitant.

Sword Art Online III
(Alicization Arc - War of the Underworld) Plot
Despite the defeat of Quinella—the pontifex of the Axiom Church—things have not seemed to calm down yet. Upon contacting the real world, Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya finds out that the Ocean Turtle—a mega-float controlled by Rath—was raided. Due to a sudden short-circuit caused by the raiders, Kirito's fluctlight is damaged, leaving him comatose. Feeling insecure about the people at the Axiom Church, Alice brings the unconscious Kirito back to their hometown—Rulid Village, disregarding her banishment due to an unabsolved crime. Now, Alice is living an ordinary and peaceful life close by the village, wishing for Kirito to wake up. However, tragedy strikes when Alice notices that the Dark Territory has already started to invade the Human Empire. Reassuming her previous alias, Alice Synthesis Thirty, she promises to defeat the Dark Territory in order to defend the world that Kirito and Eugeo worked so hard to protect. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
