Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Chapter 54 Discussion

Decent chapter, but I ain't so sure about Suho revealing everything right then and there. I mean, I’m glad the misunderstanding was cleared up, as Yoonho said, but showing your hand in front of your enemy, Dojin, without knowing what move he might make afterwards?

I really don’t know about that. Then again, Suho has gotten a lot stronger compared to how he was in the prologue, so maybe that’s why he felt confident enough to make such a bold move. I just hope this decision doesn’t end up coming back to bite him.

How was he supposed to know his enemy is right in front of him?
And how else should he cleared his name? He can't be fighting bad guys and running from the good guys at the same time forever.

Another thing, from a writing's perspective, these S rank hunters are going to get outclassed real soon. In the story this is the perfect part for the writer to use them because they're going to get obsolete soon. Just like how it happened after Jeju Island.
So Suho recruiting them and fighting with them for 20-30 chapters is the best outcome before he leaves them in the dust power vise.

I think it would have been better if he had tried to explain the whole situation truthfully first. Then, if that didn’t work out, he could have done what he did. In my opinion, it should have been more of a last-resort decision, not something to be done right off the bat. That’s just how I see it.


I understand, and I ain't against that at all. I’m just not so sure about the way he managed to recruit them. I get that his situation is pretty bad, but it feels like he didn’t even try to resolve it normally first. He immediately decided to restore their past memories and reveal his powers. I don't know.

They had evidence against him:
- He was seen multiple times wearing a mask when a monster rampage happened somewhere and disappeared.
- He was there when the raid on the Star Dust factory happened and he abandoned his post.
- He was also there when Lee Minsung died.
- He was summoned to the Hunters HQ to explain himself and he fled.
He could tell them what really happened, but he had zero proof to back it up. So the S ranks are doing the most logical thing, they're trying to detain him.
Suho is self-aware and knows how bad his situation looks, so he skipped the small talk.
