Episode 5/5

What a sensational anime, seriously. The direction was at its peak in this episode. Great fight sequence and the dialogues outside of the fights were also very interesting. I'm really starting to like this, a more than perfect adaptation.

And now the ant arc is coming, I loved when it happened in Hunter×hunter, I don't know how it will be addressed here, but I'm looking forward to it.

sheesh...this show sometimes man arlight..


i feel like i would've liked this over the top fight more outside of a few cuts if there was more in between animation and it didn't try to put everything on the screen makes for to be a little messy to watch , my eyes opened just a little at the prospect something gave him a bit of trouble.


this ... waifu subplot for all these npcs unable to speak this whole time and the hints we get of them having intelligence leads to this...



but there was some hints of a story here even if it feels like we have chimera ant arc at home

Wait wtf, so the demons are real demons? Like from hell? I thought they were just creations of the dungeons. Are we aupposed to feel sorry for them now? And now one is "squee-ing" for him? Though I must admit I almost came in my pants like her when he said "I was getting tired of looking up"
Squeeeeeeee! ;p
Also so the giant insects are like a whole seperate thing? Like are they going to become the REAL enemy and unite all of them?
What an odd left turn.

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 ....]
@AJ_JOD true, some of these removals and summarizing plot points are kinda annoying . Gotta rate it 9.5/10. Still have igris fight over it

It was right decision to have Esil by his side. She "distracted" Baran and managed to blow the final kill.
Felt a bit too rush on the fighting, whats with the ripping Baran hands off...

From season 1 to season 2, they still like to cut the fight scenes to information scenes that have nothing to do with what is happening in the fight. As a result, I couldn't focus or care about what was being explained.

But, THIS EPISODE WAS FIREEE, THE BLACK AND WHITE SCENE IS VERY WELL DONE ANIMATED.

Good fight but it was too short, anyway we only grind and slugged thoroughly on all that levels and after Baran's head for his drops.

Kept calling her family name as Radish. πŸ˜‚

To me personally this was actually one of the weaker episodes. But this has also always been my least favorite arc of the whole story, so the hype didn't really hit me this episode.

It also had a few issues, mainly that the cuts were pretty bad. They just love those random cuts that show a complete different scene for like 3 seconds. Putting most of the ant cuts into one or two longer scenes would've done wonders for the pacing and flow of the episode. Would have made the fight feel longer as well.

The other issue was that this fight was the hardest to follow until now. I liked the other fights much more for several reasons. Still solid episode, but I'm personally glad we finally got this arc over with.

Interesting that he didn't Arise the demon knights (since they were stronger than all his non-hero orcs). Or maybe he did off screen, I guess.

I'm hoping he Arised the dragon. I'd want a flying mount if I was Jin Woo.

You won’t find it bro. This is not the anime for you if you’re looking for a story. This is pure action power fantasy. It’s simple and straight to the point.

A1 what the hell you people have done....

One of the best animated scenes I have seen EVER. Outstanding work big big respect.

For once this demon castle arc was actually well written compared to other ones so far. The final battle v boss was truly incredible. Jinwoo finally have an actual tough opponent for ages. And he have to rely on plot armour and Esil distraction to beat him. An actual close hard fought win feels much better.

Easily the best episode of this series, after 20 episode I can finally say Solo leveling indeed PEAKED...

Esil is a sudden new addition that I didn't expect to be the enemy that attacked Jinwoo previously, but his power easily overwhelms her during their very short fight. Thankfully, he did spare her after she gave him crucial information about how to progress up to the higher floors.

Thanks to her help, Jinwoo made it to the 100th floor and faced off against Baran and his army. Simply put, A-1 brought their top talent for this battle with how stunning the sakuga animation was during the whole fight. Thanks to Esil, Jinwoo was able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat with a beautiful uppercut on Baran's chin.

Hopefully with Baran defeated, this should give him what he needs to complete the elixir of life so he can cure his mother's illness. Not only that, but the plans for the next Jeju Island raid has been made with assistance from a Japanese hunter's guild. I can't see Jinwoo having anytime to relax as I do see him joining this raid.

Jinwoo finally reach the 100th level of the demon's castle to battle the demon monarch Baran. He gets the help of Esil, the eldest daughter of the demon family Radiru to get the permit to advance the level. Meanwhile the winged ant has started to attack prompting the Hunter Association to call in for help from their neighbor, Japan who sent their largest hunter guild.

The reward was an insanity though, with a masterpiece of a fight, especially Himwoo's final outrageous manga-changing uppercut. Himwoo with the drip bruh, chill the heck down.

Good fight though. Loved Ryuji's debut. Excited with

@AJ_JOD I think the next episode will show that scene with Thomas, they might just changed the order of the events, not a first time compared to manhwa, as for point number 4, that one is from light novel
and of course, many season 2 parts seems like they are rushed, I think they just want to get to that Jeju Island Arc already, but it doesn't bother the pacing of the fight, you can't really make a 15 minutes fight, because will feel like it's all dragged then

I'm kind of confused though. Wasn't defeating the Demon Lord in this dungeon supposed to be a way to get all 3 ingredients to make a cure for his mom?

Like in episode 3 of this season JinWoo got the second ingredient from the 75th floor.

Thought he might maybe get the last ingredient from the 100th floor?

As usual Jinwoo fighting monsters is not that exciting. I was a bit interested in that demon girl, but all she did was become a Jinwoo fangirl? Meh.
