| Damn, Jin-Woo ran into a serious challenge as he advanced into that dungeon. Might be his toughest battle yet as he faced off against Blood-Red Commander Igris. Hell of a fight he put on and that knight really pushed him like never before. That comeback though. He managed to defeat the commander through sheer will power and going beyond his limits. One of my favorite fights in this anime so far! |
 |
| The Knight Who Defends an Empty Throne... Igris... every bit as intimidating as I expected Jinwoo receives a quest notification from the System, indicating a job change quest. Feeling a premonition that he could become stronger, Jinwoo steps into the gate. Continuously assaulted by monsters without a moment's rest, Jinwoo fights back tirelessly against mobs of soldiers. Waiting for him at the deepest part is a knight named Igris, possessing extraordinary power, reminiscent of the Double Dungeon from before. Jinwoo quickly reminds himself that he isn't as weak as he once was, thanks to his leveling. And thus begins the fight between Jinwoo and Igris. While it's nice to see Jinho's family, something that's been lacking in the manhwa, I would've preferred if it happened in a less important episode. Going from that to Jinwoo's intense battle breaks the flow. The animation is back to being crisp, and this episode was a feast for the eye. And then there's Igris, who sees Jinwoo fighting bare-handed and decides to do the same... lol. I'd forgotten how much I love Igris. But he's a serious threat, and the anime really brings that out, especially with the stellar animation. I think I even spotted some cuts by Takayuki Kikuchi, a true master. And Jinwoo, with that Sawano track playing, you knew things were about to get serious. Easily the best fight of the series so far. But maybe defeating Igris was enough for Jinwoo today... or maybe not? Losing the hearthstone, his only means of escape... now he's going to have to fight for his life to get out of this. |

| Nah bro, the Igris fight is just next level, the animation and the music are on point. 8 minutes of pure peak! Igris is goated! The ost makes him even more threatening. They cooked so hard, It's like they poured their heart and soul into it. And they're teasing us so early about the incoming Jeju island raid again, but it's gonna be in the next season/cour. Can't wait to see what's in store for us! Let's wait, Let them cook. The next episode tho, I can feel it in my bones, it's gonna be epic. It's about time to... |

| These episodes all feel like they are 5 minutes long... |
 |
| nice a full sakuga episode again igris is awesome next week episode title is arise its time |
| All these scenes with the camera flying around are insaaaaane 18:11 This scene with rough lines oh my god This episode was frickin beautiful wtf Last one next. It's called "Arise", which is word I've heard a ton from manhwa readers, so looking forward to that, should be epic. The end is near already, but it feels like we just started. |
 |
| well this is one of the best arcs but didnt hit me that hard he manga gave me chills when jin woo sat down on the throne this probably has something to do with him not completing his daily quest |
 |
| Sawano and A-1 you’ve done wonders on me holy 😭 the knight commander fight was immaculate. I’m not anywhere near a meathead, but I was moved. The camera angles, the storyboarding and direction.. the OST.. perfection. Love how they emphasised just how overpowered Ingris was as well. It was a combination of timing and luck that saw Jinwoo get out of there alive. Picking just the right time to stab Ingris in the eye. I’m noticing Jinwoo stabbing enemies in the eye as a recurring theme by the way lol.. pretty much all the enemies he’s faced that are stronger he’s gone for that. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. There’s still so many powerful enemies in this world that he’s behind in terms of strength. I can’t imagine what the S rank hunters and enemies are like. Speaking of S Rank hunters, this Jeju island raid they’ve been teasing for a while looks like it’s gonna be crazy. Looks like a little conspiracy plot in the background as well.. Hype for the finale next week and hopefully a s2 announcement |

| This show may be on tack to getting 10 if the animation is this insane. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Well that was animated very well. And so fluently and fast. Cool episode :O |
| Damn that fight against Igris was dope as hell. The hype, the music, and it goes without saying, the animation, were all on point. I have such an insane respect for animators, man, the work they put in for shitty pay and treatment is insane. What great work this week and I hope they'll deliver another banger in next week's finale. Dukino said: But what did this fight mean other than looking cool? Yep, nothing just like I thought. Heart and soul meaning nothing when there's no substance behind it When the action anime with cool-looking hype fights has a hype fight that looks cool: 🤯🤯🤯🤯 It shouldn't matter if there's "substance" behind it, it's an action show whose main draw and selling point is the fights. They give the audience just that, exactly what they're looking for, then good, the show did its job. Someone with Demon Slayer in their favorites is the last person who I would expect to be complaining about this. And before any assumptions are made, I like Demon Slayer (solid 8/10 for me), I'm not trying to knock it, or knock you for liking it. I just figured, what's the difference between this episode's fight and the flashy fights with cool visuals that ufotable gives us with DS. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

@Yuyu1ch1 But what did this fight mean other than looking cool? Yep, nothing just like I thought. Heart and soul meaning nothing when there's no substance behind it
| @Dukino you'll know in the next episode. I don't know why y'all always expect to find out every single mystery the moment it appears lmao |
| I don't know if I'm watching Solo Leveling or playing Elden Ring |
| I keep moving forward |
| Loved every second. Seeing Igris animated and going hard on Jinwoo made me love him even more than I already am. This fight truly did surpass the manhwa version. |
| The guy draws strength from nothing. In animes like Bleach and Dragon Ball they don't know about their own hidden powers, but this one is based on skill, is it out of nowhere that the guy becomes strong without activating any skill? |
| Wow, they went wild with the animation. The system told him good luck lol. |
| This was by far the most exciting one. Cant wait for him to say Arise |
| damn that was a full action episode apart from a couple scenes, interesting without healing and with barely any armor, the fact that he could take that many hits from a superior enemy, no comments lol after beating the knight, a new quest started, to survive as long as possible (i wonder if that means he can die and respawn, or has to actually leave the dungeon alive (i mean, they gave him tha tstone after all) and ofc, just like before, he had to lose his teleport stone... dude lol 1 episode left, probably another one with lots of action |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| If the recap episode didn't release, the last episode would've been released today. Oh well. Wow. Jinwoo actually fought the red knight from the OP. I mean, it's obvious cause everything shown in the OP happened in the show. But I was wondering if the red knight was just for show or if he wouldn't fully appear in this season. Glad he did. Man, the fight scenes in this episode were incredible. So glad they didn't skimp out on it. Wondering what the last episode is going to be about. |
| igris fight lived up to the expectations. well done 🙏 |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| The fight was just incredible. |
| So the island arc would probably be the cliffhanger next week. 🤔😏 |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| The animation in this episode was on a different level. The fight between Jin-Woo and the Blood-Red Commander was amazing. Not a lot of plot progression this episode, but the action made up for it. |
 |
| igris was whooping jin woo, he got that dog in him fr. animation and camera work were stunning.  |
