| Good job on Shun on obtaining S-Class. Took long enough to get there but hard work paid off. But yeah, he's always aiming for higher and Shun witnessed some serious chaos in that other world. An episode focused on Shun is kinda unique imo as it goes into more perspective on how he approaches obstacles. He's also thinking with his head rather than with his fists. He played through this episode by observing while also taking down some of his enemies. |

| I still to this day love the fact that author added this rando to this part. I just love it how this arrogant prick got humbled by legit everyone there, meanwhile Jinwoo is just getting glazed to the max by everyone lmao. So yeah, he's officially no longer the weakest hunter of all mankind. He's now an official S-Rank... and one of THE strongest as well... I mean, even Yoonho admitted it lol. But yeah, people say character in this show don't have depth and development, and while I agree with that for most, if not all the characters here, Jinho is probably the lone one that actually has good development. I mean, dude at the beginning of the show was a little, well, bitch that couldn't do anything by himself. And now, look at him, he's become to confident to reject his own dad... lmaooo. Though, it didn't end well, and now he's homeless.... well, he's living with Jinwoo for now though. But yeah, time to go back to the demon castle... and I mean, we knew he's gotten stronger since last time he was there, but the fact this dude had a whole kaijuu showdown with his shadow was just... lol. I've never really liked the part in the demon castle, and things still haven't change... ... Though, a certain someone does make this trip a bit more interesting than the last ones.. and she made A BRIEF, but VERY brief cameo at the end... excited to see my queen in her glory next week. P.S. it's not in the episode itself obviously, but this advert they used during the broadcast was fucking hilarious lmao. |

| Everyone's life peaks at some point, and that peak differs from person to person, this is one universal fact. So yeah right now, what we’re seeing is that PEAK life, of our very own, used-to-be an E-rank, and now a S-rank, main guy, Jin woo. I mean the heads of the two top most guilds in the country come and pay a visit to you, acting like your average sales-person, trying to recruit you into their guilds. I mean that just doesn’t happen with anyone lol. Dude gave them the cold shoulder like usual… I mean think about their status for once lol. He ain’t joining anyone, as you know, “Solo-leveling” is his art after all. That commercial we had when the first half ended, where an actual reporter was reporting Jin woo’s feats and his rise to S-rank was fucking hilarious tho lmaoooo. I loved this mini-arc in the manhwa, and liked it here as well. Though it felt a tad rushed, but okay. Yoonho might be onto something but yeah, it ain’t that easy to figure out. Btw, I forgot that fucking nobody of an actor even existed in this series. I’m glad they didn’t give him a minute more of a screentime, than he already got. All of that aside btw, Jin woo has returned to demon castle again, to actually kinda complete what he left last time. A lot to take in this episode, but yeah, waiting for a certain someone to appear in the next episode. |
| My boy finally being acknowledged as a S Rank Hunter π₯π this is better and better by each episode. The Dangerous thing is finally here, that ant monster flying is creepy πΆ hoping jinwoo faces this adversary as soon as possible, so there won't be another disaster like that island incident. |

| 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. |
| Nothing to say... |

| Watching this animated was so satisfying, Jinwoo's now officially the 10th S rank hunter. Was nice watching everyone's reactions. He's back at the fire place advancing again and the ant appeared, we are getting into the most hype parts of the story. |
 |
| best girl next episode? baek now realize jinwoo can level up in power also the ants will be here soon  |
| He's finally an S rank hunter! Although Baek is possibly onto him. And it looks like the ants from that island are starting to get to the mainland. |
| The first ant makes an appearance!! Can't wait to see Beru. |
 |
| Jinwoo is now finally an S-rank hunter. He completely overshadowed that celebrity hunter there lol. I think it's a bit disappointing that Jinwoo didn't join Jinho's guild. But it's understandable. Hopefully, whatever Jinho is doing now is worth it. His dad might be in critical condition. Maybe when Jinwoo gets the cure for his mother he can use it to cure him too? So, an ant finally made it to the mainland. Things will probably get more intense soon. Wish the other hunter bosses weren't so complacent. They shouldn't have let this happen in the first place. |
| Ah another peak episode, so much info, and I can't wait to see how that insect looking thing will tie things in for the future. |
 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. |
| Looks like it's finally time for Jinwoo to get his S-Rank License. And, after that comes a lot of media coverage and annoyance. His sister also has to bear all this Jinwoo fame. Poor girl. LOL. She just wants to go to school. Also, it seems like Jinwoo has found a way to make money by selling his weapons for a higher price in the real world. He can manage to buy artifacts now. LOL. But, now it's time for him to go back to the dungeons and slay some oppentnts to keep leveling up. |
 |
| Finally the demon route unlocked xD |
| oh no, the chimera ants are here! Bring Netero! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Sung Jin-woo's assessment of S Rank part was as funny as the Manhwa.Really liked how Lee Minsung was humiliated. And now he is officially S Rank and has got the fame he deserves.We also got to see the reaction of different characters to it.Cha Hae-in and Jinah's reaction was the most important. Jinho showed his courage and worth in this episode,he is really a true brother.But his father is now suffering from the ailment that effects Jin-woo's mother. And seems like an Ant has come to the mainland.This is bound to raise future plot developments. Also Tusk is shown how strong is he.And we got to meet strong Demon knights.Even they are not match for Jin-woo.Can't wait for the next episode. |

| I so want him to say "Ore-wa Hunter janai... Gamer desu" I that world the rank you get is the one you stuck with, you can't train and make your stronger, unless it's reawakening, i want those S-level hunters to realize that he can always get stronger so bad! and it seems like one already thinking that That mother f**king ant was just standing there, i got to be real here, i'm terrified of those f**kers IRL because there's an ant with wings specie, they only show up at summer when super hot insane including sand storms, didn't see them for a while but when i was at school as a kid, there were millions of them, i used to stay indoors all the time so i won't go outside they were everywhere, disgusting sht can get up on you. |
| Seems like I misunderstood that guy to be a figurehead for Jin Woo in the last episode. Turns out he ain’t even fit for that. Jin Woo came for re-evaluation, and Baek Yoon Ho and Choi Jong In are already waiting to recruit him. That actor gives a press conference, thinking he’ll be an A Rank Hunter for 2 years to hide his scandal and then make a comeback in entertainment industry. Jin Woo is stopped by the bodyguards of the press conference. Chairman Go Gunhee comes to the rescue. The re-evaluation is making them all scared, or shocked. Their expressions are satisfying. They realise that he’s stronger than any S Rank Hunter present. The news spread quickly to the media, and they caught Jin Woo off guard, making him the headlines as the 10th S Rank Hunter. Jin Woo had asked Jin Ho to follow him, and so he does. Jin Woo goes to get artifacts, and the salesman took a joke too far that Jin Woo almost destroyed the place π€£π€£π€£. Wow, he’s leaving 3 shadow soldiers to protect Jin Ah. Back to conquering Demon Castle. At 80th level. |
 |
| I feel like a proud dad having seen Jinwoo go from a bum to S rank officially! But now he’s gotta deal with all the media frenzy that comes with that. Another great episode. Lmao at the two guild leaders still vying for Jinwoo signature and buddy just does not give a fuck at all. No S rank discount on gear, eh? π those prices are crazy. Luckily he can sell his quest items for a massive profit to offset em. The shopkeeper should not have joked with him about breaking the glass tho lol. Respect to Jinho for standing up to his dad and going his own path, but it’s messed up that his magical ability is basically killing his own dad and isn’t that the same illness that Jinwoo mom has? It’s like natural human evolution is just weeding people with low magical resistances out. That shot of Jinwoo at the end holy shit the aura. Seeing a magical beast literally cower in fear was amazing. But it looks like there’s magical beasts in Korea?? Next ep should be fun. |

| If anything I hope they keep the streak going, been banger ep after banger ep, honestly way too hyped for ma boi Beru's introduction coz if Tusk got such an op adaptation bet Beru's is bound to be generational. |
 |
| once again it was a great ep i'm excited for the next one... the ants just arrived h x h multiverse |

| Having to become an S-Rank really draw or being unwanted attention. That aside. Jinwoo is enjoying his time in the Demon Castle. |
| Our boy is officially S-rank! It was very satisfying to see everyone stop paying attention to that ridiculous actor and focus on Jinwoo. Things are getting more and more interesting: the hunters are still chasing Jinwoo, but luckily, it seems like he'll be joining Jinho. Or at least, that's what it seems like. One of the island's ants has arrived in town, which could kick off the next story arc. But for now, the real excitement is Jinwoo's return to the castle; this time, even the monsters are afraid of his presence. What a tough guy, aura! |
 |
| If he is this strong already, I wonder where the story can possibly go from here. I would like a story where MC is absurdly OP, but someone else is still stronger just for the sake of it |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| That ending was just π€π» Literally: "Are you scared little soldier?" π ants are coming. |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| Boring, a letdown compared to the previous episode. |
| Next best girl making an appearance! Satisfied that the anime made emphasis on action scenes that manhwa couldn't fully express. With this pacing, I reckon Jeju Island Ants Arc will be in next season. |

akonni said: With this pacing, I reckon Jeju Island Ants Arc will be in next season. Jeju Island starts after the next episode... |
| We have now a glimpse of the most anticipated arc~ (If jinwoo sells some of his trivial stuffs he would be a freakin billionaire for sure.) |

| @akonni Yeah, I hope for the anime to give her a better treatment than the manhwa did, but to be honest, it probably won't happen. |
