Eugeo (Sword Art Online)

Eugeo (ユージオ, Yūjio?) was the deuteragonist of the first half of Sword Art Online: Alicization. Eugeo was a child born in a remote village in the Human Empire of Underworld, where he was assigned the Sacred Task of felling a giant tree with his childhood friend Kirito. After a mishap during an adventure to the mountains resulted in his other childhood friend Alice Zuberg being apprehended by an Integrity Knight for breaking the Taboo Index, while his memories of Kirito were sealed by the administrators of the world, Eugeo spent the following six years focusing on his work to avoid thinking about his lost friend, until Kirito's return to Underworld led to Eugeo building the resolve to embark on a journey to become an Integrity Knight himself to rescue Alice, as well as acquiring the skills to wield the Blue Rose Sword he had retrieved from the mountains where Alice had broken the Taboo Index.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Eugeo is a kindhearted and considerate person who thought about the needs of others as well as his own, and wishes to see Alice again after not seeing her for many years.
 * 2) Eugeo always offered to help Kirito valet with her duties and attempted to minimise her workload. He also tried his best to maintain a good relationship with his valet by participating in bonding sessions with her and even scolded Kirito for trying to avoid the sessions.
 * 3) As much as he looked almost identical to Kirito, he is pretty cute.
 * 4) Eugeo is also pretty skilled in terms of using a sword. His weapon, Blue Rose has ice manipulation, exceptional strength and cutting power, seen when it was able to cut the demonic tree Gigas Cedar.
 * 5) He has great relationships to other characters:
 * 6) * Kirito, his best friend in Underworld, whom he shared the «Sacred Task» of cutting the «Gigas Cedar» with, and had Kirito's sword forged and made in return.
 * 7) * Alice, who also grew up along with Eugeo and Kirito and played around with each other back when they were children.

Trivia

 * He and Kirito can be a slightly popular yaoi couple in the franchise, comparable in popularity to Kirito's coupling with both Asuna and Alice.
