| Shun taking on more demons for his goals. This guy really has no bounds on how much he wants to achieve this season. Not going to lie, the Demon King with the white dragon's appearance looked really badass. Shun looked like the underdog at first but he managed to behead that dragon. One of the better fights this season imo. It showed how much Shun has grown in terms of combat skills and is able to fight on same level with the Demon King. |

| Yeah, the only thing I even remember from these Demon Castle trips were Esil for whatever reason, so finally seeing her in anime from is nice to see. And I mean, it's not JUST because she's probably the cutest waifu we've met up til now, but as well she's actually helpful to current Jinwoo. And again, because she's just too freaking cute man. But yeah, forget to mention it last episode, but the ants have finally made it onto main land, and already fucking that shit up lmao. The BTS process of the raid is also a mess. But, for now, lets just focus on the main thing, that being that absolute fucking spectacle of a fight that went on. Not on the same level as high as episode six, but still such an insane fight in and of itself nonetheless. And I mean, you know the fight is serious when it starts to rain, and to say it was serious, DAWG IT WAS FUCKING SERIOUSLY INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. And again, it's not just because Esil is cute that I like her, she was actually helpful to Jinwoo there in the fight, and gave him teh resolve to lock tf in and BEAT THE DUDE'S ASS IN THE SICKEST SEQUENCE EVERRRRRR. If episode six was a 6/5, this was a 8/5. Insane. Also, nice aura framing like nothing happened at the end Jinwoo xD |

| Guy is rizzing up girls left, right, and centre lmaoo. In his own world there is Cha Hae-in, and yeah you see the, even in this demon castle which is filled with barbarian beings to the brim, somehow the guy got stumbled upon a cute little girl, who was just *trying* to kill him for a bigger cause:) Though the one gripe I’ve with this series is that it never tried to give much screen time to its side characters. Esil is the newest addition in that bracket of side characters, so yeah, let’s see if the adaptation would take any liberties, like they did with Cha Hae-in’s case. The ants are out in the open, and yeah, however obvious it was, they’re going to cover Jeju island this season itself… it seems confirmed now. Can’t wait to see that tbh, as it’s almost non-stop action there. Though that being that, I was waiting for the Balan fight. He the big bad final boss of the castle after all. The fight was alright I feel, however it got concluded in this episode itself. I mean they’re NOT missing at all when it comes to fight scenes in this season, so that stuff was as expected, but again, they could’ve extended the fight, at least, till the next episode. Though this episode itself served as a nice set-up to the main thing, which is Jeju island, so I guess, a nice one all things considered. |

| Lived up to the hype oh my days what an episode A-1 you have done miracles on me π Jinwoo aura is so crazy he’s pulling demons now like cmon how tf you bag Esil effortlessly like that lmao. She’s so freaking pretty but please start getting her family name right!! Finally some crumbs about the story and the purpose of these gates and the tower. Whoever put the demons in that tower clearly don’t want much information getting out which explains the filter on Esil. So my early theory right now is that whoever made the game/turned Jinwoo into a player is pitting humans and demons against each other to prepare for an even bigger enemy coming. Maybe taking the strongest of both races and preparing for that big bad. Kinda have some Darwin’s game vibes. Japan and Korea collabing on the Jeju island raid.. I’m sure that’ll go well lol. It’s crazy that just one of those ants is an A rank and you’re talking about an entire army plus the queen. This is gonna be insane I can’t wait to see it play out BARAN VS JINWOO OH MY GOD. Idk how to rank the fights in this series yet but that’s gotta be up there. Bro punched Baran’s head into the fucking sky with the power of a nuke, not to mention ripping his arms off Jesus. Now the Radiru family are on top of the demon tower, but what’s next is Jinwoo actually gonna find that elixir π€ need next ep badly |

| Esil is cute. Other than that, the fight was pretty cool. At this point, it's just Jinwoo doing his usual things and it doesn't surprise me anymore. However, I really wonder if there will eventually be a time when he struggles pretty badly once again. I wanna see that and how he improvises at that time. For now, everything is fun to watch. It doesn't offer much but it's enjoyable. Looking forward to more. |

| Ah, yes a new fodders for the shadow army. I like how reasonable Esil's father is. He did not only give away the item without a fight but also he didn't make any funny tricks or try to deceive Jinwoo. Those two armies facing off & clashing with each other looks good... (Esp the duel of those two lords) |

| baran was defeated fast but i expect a op visuals change in the coming episodes for the ant arc esil best girl  |
| anime of da year, twas such a boner killer every time they would switch back to the ants.. twas funny asf to see the contrast of ants and his fight with Baron. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Was this the great fight everyone was so hyped for? It was ok, but nothing special. Nice and fast but without any emotions This series has visually good fights but everything here is so damn stiff, bland and predictable.As soon as new hunters appear and Mc accompanies them, it is already known exactly what will happen. When he fights alone it's exactly the same. There's no sense of danger or stress. It's just him standing there with his hands in his pockets or fighting and looking cool... Arc with ants be like:Mom, can I watch the ant arc, do you know which one? We have arc with ants in the house Arc with ants in the house: |

| @Jollyne7 thats exactly what solo leveling is its just rule of cool and power fantasy |
| Jesus Christ that fight was insane. Episodes like this is what I tune into Solo Leveling for. Shows like this always have people arguing about the lack of story or beating the “it’s carried by animation π€” horse, when it’s not that deep. It’s an action power fantasy, literally just being exactly that. Learn to take anime less seriously, and it’s amazing how much more enjoyable things become. I’m not watching this for its intricate plot lines, rich storytelling, and deep nuanced characters. Give me episodes like this, with solid animation behind it, and I’m walking away satisfied. I apply the same logic to something like Demon Slayer that also gets a lot of shit for a basic story and a “carried by animation” anime adaptation. Anywho, great episode. |

| My girl Esil is here, love her. Hype fight again. |
 |
| Wow you just had to be there, makes you wonder if the build up is this high quality what of the finale. |
 |
| Jinwoo got himself a new waifu. Glad to see he's somewhat self-aware that he's a bit of a chick magnet. But bro has no time for hoes. Unfortunately, she didn't give him much more information either as the system keeps censoring shit. But I wonder what kind of enemy the demons were expecting. Could they be humans? Also, I wonder if Esil will come with Jinwoo and go to earth. That could be cool. A single ant caused that many casualties? Damn. This upcoming arc is going to be bloody. Finally, Jinwoo beat the last boss on the 100th floor. I think he got all the items. He should be able to cure his mom now, right? Hopefully, he won't get interrupted by some bullshit. |
| Baran put up a really good fight I didn't really see how he cut of his arms like that, I hope we could get him to arise. |

| @0451 She is far from being his waifu lol, she is a subordinate. Just because a female is helpin Jinwoo doesnt make them his waifu, do you think his sister and mom are his waifu? |
|
| So when do we get broader plot that keeps getting alluded to? Jinwoo demolishing the monster of the week is pretty repetitive at this point. |
| He got a demon to help him out. That was unepxected. She's cute, I wonder if we'll see more of her. The fight was awesome! |
| To start with I really hope Esil sticks in the show because she's the first character other than Jinwoo I find myself interested in. Which doesn't make this show bad a show can be amazing as even with just 1 incredible lead character and Jinwoo is definitely a very strong lead. But again I hope she stays because she is the first character outside of Esil im interested in and she uses a twin blade which instantly makes me love her and the marks she has on her eyes are really cool. So im praying she sticks around This show easily has the best fight scenes out of any anime I've ever watched in my entire life its really not even close so major props to the animators for what their pulling off with this show. The story may be super basic from what I see but it does what it needs to perfectly Side note: If someone could answer this but at the end what was the point of Esil throwing her twinblade? Im guessing it was just a distraction so Jinwoo could get the upper hand at the end. Is that right? |

| @fullmetalgarbage After ant arc the plot thickens and the most important things are revealed. I think the anime left out the significance of Baran, the former monarch of whiteflame and his role in the mutiny or its mentioned later. |

| Esil is pretty funny and Jin-woo you are continuously making people misunderstand. The Ants have invaded Japan and Japanese Hunters are joining the korean hunters to eradicate the ants in Jeju Island.Goto Ryuji makes his first appearance in this episode. Cha Hae-in as usual thinks about Jin-woo.She really has fallen in love with him. Jin-woo vs Baran fight was pretty intense,and Esil's distracting blow clinched the battle for Jin-woo.Next episode we are probably going to see more about Jeju Island part.I am eagerly waiting for that episode. |
 |
| You know what? With how the narrative has consistently been, I'm not gonna even bother thinking too much about why Jinwoo's dagger didn't just rebound back to him when Esil picked it up to throw it to him to begin with. Hold it, even if it wasn't, why would Baran be so easily distracted by something like that for Jinwoo to just physically overpower him straightaway? |
