Sword Art Online Leafa Tentacle Scene Shows SAO Will Stir Controversy Once Again

Sword Art Online has a long history of stirring up the pot of controversy, and getting people’s knickers in a twist.

Especially US journalists who report on anime (more so than anime fans themselves).

Sword Art Online Alicization: War Of The Underworld Part 2 is at it once again. And we can only imagine what’s to come as the anime continues to air.

A quick recap

With season 2 it was the scene involving Asuna Yuuki and that sicko who wanted to violate Asuna.

In season 3 it was the scene involving Ronnie and Tiese, who were almost violated. The brown and red haired girls who respect Kirito.

Fast forward to 2020, and now we have the scene of Leafa and the tentacle scene which brings us to today.

Most people aren’t losing their minds about it. But a lot of people pointed it out.

Many say they enjoyed the first episode, minus the tentacle scene which they felt was unnecessary.

Just watched Episode 13 of Sword Art Online: War of Underworld. The Episode was sooo good and filled with action. Lets ignore the tentacle scene with Leafa haha, but was worth waiting 6 months.

Now the waiting game begins. 6 more days until the new episode comes out..

I would have loved it if we could have made it through this season of #SwordArtOnline without a certain someone getting tentacle molested within the first 10 minutes of the new episode pic.twitter.com/5C2xwK5fh1

New Sword Art Online episode was hella hype and lived up! Even tho…

That one scene with Leafa…

I can understand if the series was setting a very dark tone with what’s to come, sure, but if the most brutal scene was this one, there was literally no point of tentacle hentai :/ pic.twitter.com/mqkNEIp5f5

Happy to see so many people getting triggered over a small tentacle scene. Get over it. If it was a guy in this situation 99% of you woke dumbasses wouldn’t give a shit. It’s art. Don’t like it, find deviantart and make your own.#anime #SAOキャラ診断 #SwordArtOnline #sao_anime pic.twitter.com/Vao418Hrna

And of course – fake news and websites who love spreading it for attention (Comic Book) have come out the woodworks. With a news piece claiming “fans are shocked” when that’s actually false.

No one is outraging and the response is pretty tame, but each to their own.
