[32/33]

32/33, also known as the cake timeline (cakeverse) or crab timeline (crabverse), is an alternative Sword Art Online universe where Eugeo and Kirito never broke the Taboo Index at the Swordcraft Academy. This universe was originally created by series author Kawahara Reki as part of his self-published short story series called Material Editions. These Material Editions were later turned into a series of Blu-Ray/DVD bonus short stories for the Alicization anime and even got new side stories set in this timeline.

Table of contents:


If You Were Here

If You Were Here is an Alicization what-if story, answering the question of what would have happened if Raios and Humbert hadn't been around to force Eugeo and Kirito into breaking the Taboo Index. In this timeline, Eugeo and Kirito graduate from the Swordcraft Academy, win the Four Empires Unification Tournament, and become Integrity Knight apprentices at the Central Cathedral. However, Quinella (Administrator) and Cardinal are still at odds with each other. Can Kirito find a way to resolve their century-old conflict and bring the two to work together?

The story was released as a bonus for the limited edition versions of the 8th BD/DVD volume of the Alicization cour 1-2 Blu-Rays/DVDs and is based on Material Editions 28 and 29, with 50 pages of original content not part of the MEs.

  1. It was a great read. Kawahara-dono is an amazing writer and I love these AUs/What If/Pseudo-VN-Everybody-Wins-Route. The Alicization arc was already a 9.80/100 but this additional material made me round it to 100/100 (or a straight 2.500/1.000 if I'm allowed to give scores that are more than perfect). If Reki-kan continies to share more extra material the Project Alicization may get even better than the iconic Fate/Zero doujinshi novels. Urobuchi better watch out. <3. 有り難い あなたの勝者.
