Really liked the direction in certain parts. Particularly during the Japanese -> Korean translation part during the leaders meetup where it is not directly implied but there was a overlap between Goto and Hanekawa both speaking the same lines and then Hanekawa voice gets cut out but you can see her moving her lips. Very well thought out.

This episode was a masterpiece, the introduction of Esil was cute, she's an adorable character, and she gave some insight into the world lore. One thing I loved was how great it was to have an interpreter for the Japanese guild master, and the transition from her speaking to him was done intelligently and smoothly, showing how much thought and care they have for the show. One nitpick I have is how the monarch Baran should have spoken at least a few words at the beginning, not just a random strong fighter, but it compensates that the fight was unbelievably good. This is peak.

@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?


@Vooo Calm down. It was just a joke. And when did I say anything about his sister or mother?

Fuck me, that was insane!!! Jinwoo getting bitches as he breathes, meanwhile in the real world a treat is coming closer home, I'm hyped for the climax, i've read the ant arc is some dope shit and by for what i've seen in the anime I believe it.

Now, there are some good and bad things are there from this ep :

Good things :
1. The animations of this ep was better than ep 06 ...

2. the fight between Sung jinwoo vs Demon King Baran was absolute cinema... Beautifully animated but i still give slight edge to ep 06 [Jinwoo vs kargalan ] in terms of fight ..

3. These two points alone somehow overshadowed the bad points ....

Bad things :

1. This ep was very very very RUSHED .. NGL...

2. All the interactions and scenes that we got of Esil [one of the best SL Girl , if not the best ]and Jinwoo seems like really fast paced .... Not only they cut many scenes of Esil and Jinwoo , but the interactions we got was really fast paced ...

3.Not only this, the animators cut so many things from the manhwa [ like they cut the entire conservation of Go Gunhee and Nation Level Hunter Thomas Andre .... ]

4. And not only they DARE to cut off many manhwa scenes , but they somehow was able to add the entire 1 min long conservation of Choi Jung In and Cha Hae In that was not even in the manhwa [ for this statement, i reread the ch 82 to vh 87 two times ....]

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

Somhowe, every single anime i watch manages to annoy me to some degree by doing things that I find stupid. Sometimes I get very mad and sometimes I'm just mildly annoyed. But up until now, I couldn't have imagined that solo leveling could be an anime that would annoy me so much. This episode was just outright so painful to watch, even more so because of my expectations. Somewhere I heard that a character named esil who would soon show up is actually a "fan-favourite". Now that that has happened, I can't get behind it at all. Maybe she would be a nice character if this were a different anime. But the nature of her character/personality and her interactions with Jinwoo don't fit in at all. So much so that this entire thing was jarring to watch.

Sick as hell.

Awesome fight scene (and also like the addition of the cute vampire girl). Happy that got to see the culmination of the fight against the Demon King this episode.

Also interested to see how much of the Jeju Island plot can really be shown this season. I like that nothing has felt rushed at all (and I've really liked the pacing so far) so have faith that it will be good in however far the story goes.

She really took a chance when she was about to strike him at the start, the first time he spared her life. But I guess Jinwhoo knows she's not really a threat. Interesting her Father can see his Shadows..

Esil thought she was smart, but she didn’t realise who she was trying to outsmart. Jin Woo wasn’t able to get a lot of answers from her.

Go Gunhee orders the fourth Jeju Island raid mission. Jin Woo gets the entry permit from Esil’s father. He then borrows her as a guide, promising her father her safety.

Jin Woo got the entry permit for 90th floor. Igris got promoted to Elite Knight Rank Lv 1. Tank got promoted to Knight Rank Lv 1. So Tank is now at the level at which Igris was in the beginning. Igris is S Rank and Tank is A Rank now.

Jin Woo tells Esil that he’ll make Radiru family number one in the Demon Castle and he did. He gained another follower out of Esil. He soon reached 100th floor. Demon Monarch Baran is the boss. The fight with Baran was tough for Jin Woo.

Guilds from Japan come for a meeting with the hunters in Korea, to plan for the fourth Jeju Island Raid Mission.

Now I understand why they call her the best girl: Esil is a newly unlocked waifu!

This episode was THE BEST. Those last few seconds when Jinwoo punched Baran and blew his head off was pure cinema. πŸ”₯

The system censorship was even more noticeable when Jinwoo tried to dig deeper into Esil's secrets, I'm still intrigued why that happens. Still, there's more action to come with the fourth raid on Jeju Island.

It was a good episode. Finally, the demon castle is completed and we will be going into the Jeju island arc in the upcoming episodes. I loved the fight with Baran, but the animation was flashy in some parts and difficult to follow. Now, he has all the ingredients for the elixir of life. We got to see the hunters from Japan and they were thorough with their research on ants and came up with a way to defeat them as suggested by AI. Is it Chat GPT or Deep Seek? Lol. Can Jin Woo recruit Baran into his shadow army? I think we will see that in the next episode.

Fight was good but nowhere near as great as the one against Barca. Having to fight a mindless brute enemy just fails compared to intellectual one.

Also, having the fight constantly interrupted with the guild meeting was an epic fail of direction. The first season also suffered from this bs.



btw, in the Japanese version where are the foreign hunters from? From South-Korea?

I'm beyond confused when people say this is better animated than the previous episode with the Shaman fight.
The majority of the main fight after the wyvern is taken out is so heavy handed with bright, blocky, post effects, jump cuts, and extreme close-ups that makes it difficult to easily follow what is happening.
When did the norm become that, regardless of visual clarity, the flashier the animation the better?

Events of this whole season feel much better in manhwa. And when static images translate action scenes better than animation... it is unfortunate.

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.
@Pre_Yum I'd say he did struggle pretty badly here. Even though he didn't sustain any big injuries, he almost died multiple times.

Esil carried the entire match. Jinwoo could either die or badly injured during that Atomic Blast. Anyways Esil is soo cute ❀️ Sadly she’s will not get another spotlight until in the end of the series (except Ragnarok)

I really enjoyed this episode!

The animation was solid, especially during the fight sequences.

Esil’s introduction was handled well— tho the blush in the manhwa was better but I'll take it

Very excited for jeju island arc

The fight choreography was epic and A1 nailed with the animation but am I the only one who thought that it was dumb that Baran was distracted by Esils weapon and gave Jinwoo the advantage? I mean Baran was equal to Jinwoos army and Jinwoo he massacred the army but then get distracted by a lousy weapon that didn‘t even put a scratch on him? That‘s really some dumb Deus ex machina moment I didn‘t liked it in Season 1 with the penalty timer in the fight against Igris but this was way dumber.
Baran was really cool and I wished he would have stayed longer.

Baran can't talk. It will be explained much later.
Shadows get stronger from fighting, it was mentioned multiple times. Their level was shown a few times too.
