The distribution commemorated the broadcast of episode 24, the climax of the first half of "SWORD ART ONLINE ARISATION" (hereinafter referred to as "SAO Arisiation"), with appearances by Tadashijo Matsuoka, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Haruka Tomatsu, and Ai Chino. They talked about their enthusiasm for the third season of the series.

The first half, "Part I," looked back on the contents of "SAO Alsification" in its second season. In addition, a "hanging quiz game" based on episodes from the series was held. The teams were divided into Matsuoka-san and Tomatsu-san's team and Shimazaki-san and Chino-san's team. While Matsuoka-san and Shimazaki-san were hanging from the hanging device, Tomatsu-san and Chino-san answered the quiz. As a result, Mr. Shimazaki and Ms. Chino's team won and got a high-class steamed bun. On the other hand, Matsuoka-san, who lost, was punished with an "Ass Sword Attack". Mr. Shimazaki shouted "Enhancement Armament! and then he gave Matsuoka-san his best shot, but the sword went off his buttocks and landed on Matsuoka-san's lower back. You, waist ...... waist! Mr. Matsuoka screamed in agony, and Mr. Shimazaki embraced him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Mr. Shimazaki embraced Mr. Matsuoka and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

The second part of the show, which was interspersed with the delivery of the 24th episode of "SAO Articulation," began with a somewhat heavy atmosphere. This is because the show ended with the shocking loss of Eugio Shimazaki's character. However, when the performers mourned Mr. Shimazaki rather than Eugio, saying, "Nobunaga......" and "He was so healthy. ......," Mr. Shimazaki replied, "I'm alive! I'm alive!" and "I'm alive!" to which Mr. Shimazaki responds with his best effort to lighten the mood of the audience, if only a little.

Of course, it is true that the cast is saddened by Yuzio's death. Matsuoka-san, who has worked with Shimazaki-san as a "partner" throughout the two-court season, revealed that during the post recording of the final episode, "even in scenes where I shouldn't cry as Kirito, I was struggling to hold back my feelings because I felt like they were overflowing. On the other hand, Mr. Shimazaki said, "Eugio's respect for Kirito is similar to how I feel for Sadajo Matsuoka, so it overlaps with my own feelings," and added, "Sadajo's great regret made me feel relieved.I feel like I have done what I had to do, just like Yuzio did.

Looking ahead to the third season of "SAO Arization: War of Underworld," which was announced to air in October 2019, Ms. Chino said, "Alice may become a key character in the story. We don't know what will happen, so please keep watching". Ms. Tomatsu said, "Asuna (who didn't have much to do in the first half of the show) will play an active role in the future, so please look forward to it! Please look forward to it! Mr. Matsuoka shared his thoughts on the "battle" of the third season, saying, "In the second half, I will do my best to carry on Eugio's thoughts and feelings.
