Recap

Prior to the events in the 23rd episode, fans saw how Alice tried her best to show the public that she is not a threat.

The first thing that Kirito told Alice after greeting her was that her sister Selka has gone into Deep Freeze at the Central Cathedral to wait for her return. Alice got so emotional and Kirito has a request - he asked Higa to delete all of his and Asuna’s memories during the 200 years they spent in the UW.

At this point, the Ocean Turtle facility is in danger of being abolished by the government. Kikuoka told Kirito and Asuna that he has a plan to protect the residents and the entire Underworld. His plan was to create a copy of Kirito and to carry out his plan, he made people believe he is already dead.
