EPISODE CONTEXT

Following episode 2's establishment of Kirito's new reality and his alliance with Eugeo, 'The End Mountains' deepens their bond and introduces key supporting characters like Selka while expanding the Underworld's lore. Sitting early in a 24-episode season, this is foundational setup—building the emotional and narrative infrastructure needed before the pair's larger journey to Centoria begins in earnest. The deliberate pacing here directly feeds into episode 4's pivotal 'Departure,' where the story shifts into a more active gear.
