Dude. THe quickness and how easier it mutilated her as an S rank hero is supposed to show how fucking strong the ant is.

so what? jinwoo will lose then? why are they letting their guard down anyways? What about the guys at the A rank dungeon where the ogres were at? They were relatively powerless but weren't made out to be idiots. The enemies were op but nobody needed to die in order to prove it.

Also, why not kill the other 2 before they can realize what happened and have a dramatic pause to look at the girl's body? If it's so powerful, it didn't need to leave the nest, could've just waited there for the guys coming after the queen. Doesn't need to target the healers first because a cut head is impossible to stitch up. What was the shadow soldier jinwoo put on everyone even for?

And all this inconsistency is unique to that one scene. The whole deal makes no sense. As in why not just nuke it or bombard it? Why are Japan and korea the only ones dealing with it?

It better not be that the ant has "a terrifying presence" or some shit, that makes it even more nonsensical that nobody knew a huge ass fucking bug was coming.

Jinwoo knows about the strength of the other S ranked now, but he's not going to Jeju yet, with this ending we know that it's not gonna as easy as they thought ahah, not to mention next ep's title

finally getting into the thick of it, and it ended kind of how I predicted, the last few episodes are going to be INSANE, and I'm super stoked for it. I kind of felt like maybe the BGM wasn't as great this time around but it wouldn't surprise me if the following episodes are peak music and animation. It was smart of sung jinwoo to add the shadow soldiers, and we also got to see a bit of the other characters' personalities. I really don't like how confident and smug some of them seem to be, because things are about to go very poorly.

When I was a kid I used to get excited about anime where characters were killed off, it was cool and daring. Now I'm 32 and I don't want anyone to die on screen. I'm tired of it. I think if they keep doing this, I probably won't watch season 3.
@Ozu_sensei yeah dont watch next episode, for your sake lol.

It's a soldier not a guard, and it's job is to hunt down intruders. Also the queen has guards, every ant obeys the queen's orders and goes out hunting for food because they're starving.

This has been discussed in another thread, but you can't just nuke magical beasts. Mana is the only thing that can hurt them.
Also Korea wants to reclaim the land, they can't just blow up the island. Other countries are not dealing with this because they have their own problems, they also ask so much money Korea can't afford them. Japan is not helping because they are so nice, they have ulterior motives...

Jinwoo starts putting shadow soldiers on everyone, it's his stalking habit. He does it with everyone he meets.
"nobody knew a huge ass fucking bug was coming" You only saw one group who were careless. The other groups can sense it. But it's so fast they can't see it move.

This motherfucker Goto Ryuji and his japanese buddies acting like they own the place was fucking frustrating to see, being honest. This stuff airs in Japan so I’m not sure how they’d adapt the controversial part of Jeju island, but yeah, I’m kinda looking forward to it lol. These mini fights or more like these people training among themselves was pretty dope to see btw. As all of us might have expected anyway, we did get Goto Ryuji fighting Jinwoo, and yeah, the disrespect was REAL from Jinwoo. Dude was holding back the entire while and even stopped his super strong attack as if it was nothing.

The entire stuff was too much to handle for that man’s fragile ego lmaoo. One more sec, and who knows, he might have died. Good that people separated them lol. Though yeah, Jinwoo opting out of the raid might seem something very surprising but yeah, he has a family now and he wants to spend time with them, so I see nothing wrong with it. Though you just know you cannot have the most important arc of this series without the main character right? So yeah.. looking forward lol. Ant queen is fucking menace and so all those other ants spawning out of her. Pretty much a build-up for how the raid would look like in the coming episodes, I mean now that all of them have come together.

Things do seem rushed but yeah it is what it is. They need to cover this whole arc in the next three episodes after all… though stuff has started to go south now.

I kind of agree, but yeah it's to be expected. It's kind of disappointing but at the same time we have to finish this arc in 3 episodes. I've (like you I presume) been waiting for this since the first episode aired, so I'm on the edge of my seat. Anime only fans will love it!

@Ozu_sensei I think, for your own sake, you should avoid any anime with the 'action' genre and stick to Slice of Life and CGDCT animes. This was not the first death and will most certainly not be the last

The problem with deaths in modern anime is that they happen too often (devaluing the victim) and serve one purpose - to create shock content. When a character died in Legend of the Galactic Heroes, it wasn't shock, it was sadness, and everything leading up to that moment was epochal.

Now it's, “look at the head cut off, blood, shock, fear, tweet it!”

There's a whole thread dedicated to this topic, you should read it. But in short, they can't. Also Korea doesn't have nukes...

I just remembered Hunter x Hunter's chimera ants arc, I can't believe even Solo Leveling is stealing from other animes 🤣🤣. It's so similar they didn't even bother changing some details.
but anyway with that newborn big ant they're just screwed, jinwoo not being there makes it even worse, from the training he seems to be the strongest out of all of them.

This was always just a brainrot power fantasy show so who cares about it ripping off HxH. It's so bad it doesn't even matter.

Like why does the MC choose to not go to the raid knowing if they fail the whole country is done for? Makes no sense to stay with his mom at this moment. Why does he believe they don't need him when they failed the raids before?

Anyway, excited for this arc.

At long last the fourth raid on Jeju Island begins and things will be hectic for a lot of the hunters. Jinwoo vs Goto was really badass but Goto was really acting all high and mighty. It's a shame the fight was stopped otherwise Jinwoo would have mopped the floor with him. Jinwoo deciding not to go to the raid is no surprise. He has to look after his family but we all know what he decides to do later. Looks like the ants have already taken their first victim. I can only assume things will get much much tougher from here.

Pretty good setup episode, lots of screentime for the other A-rank hunters. Wonder what the summons Jinwoo left in their shadows will do, will they jump out to protect them? Though it's pretty obvious that in the end Jinwoo will have to join the fight as well against that new evolution.

I knew there would be some kind of altercation where jinwoo would step in. but I wish it was grander in scale. like neutralize all 4 s ranks, or having igris beat one of the japan s ranks. what a cocky bunch of idiots. even the cheap shotting goto.

I don't follow jinwoo characters at times. I know he is being changed by the monarchs power and all. but to turn down the s rank raid just wasn't something I expected. unless he went by himself to do it since he is probably just as cocky as any of those other s ranks from Japan. I mean he was really ready to probably be banned from the hunter guild just to open that a rank boss chamber and kill it. doesn't make sense why he would opt out of a rare s rank raid, at least the strongest one ever to appear to mankind thus yet. you would think stopping ants from reaching of home would be more important then helping his mom clean the floors or cook dinner or some shit

ok finally we got to see other characters doing some cool stuff but i was dissapointed that Sung once again had to steal the spotlight, cmon man just once dont interfere
despite the inevitable Hunter x Hunter comparissons, i gotta say, the ants here look as they should, the ants in Hunter x Hunter looked like whatever other animal an didnt had any resemblance to ants other than the name (the queen and a few fodder ants being the exceptions)

The fighting scene at the beginning kinda felt gay. Guys kept saying questionable things and one guy grabbed another’s wrists and pinned him to a wall and then jinwoo dug his balls into another dudes ass so hard it cracked the cement under them. I don’t think it was a bad scene. I was just surprised by the gayness. It felt like they were trying to make a fight as gay as possible without it being too obvious. I also thought it was funny after the fight one guy said “why is he smiling like that it makes me uncomfortable” and I just thought “this guy is horned up off of a smile”. Idk funny scene, but kinda gay lol.

Do the majority of you really think Sung Jin-Him will stay on the side line for long ... he had 5x members of his shadow army, enter 5x individual's during the Japan/ S. Korea S-Rank bout & multiple of them are on Jeju Island during the raid.

Last time I checked, Sung Jin-Him gained the Shadow Exchange skill during the demon castle arc ... where he basically teleported, in an instant, from the demon castle to S. Korea ... 🤔
