| Man, this adaptation is insane batshit fast, but also things are not taken lying down. For Yoo Mira, fighting against similar-musble-men interest Ma Mi-Sun is just kinda funny, IDK why but it is. But a sword style vs. a fighting style, the longest reach is the biggest damage, and she claims it easily despite the brutality of a 6-pack woman. For Jin Mori though, the competition officials finding out his true nature of his grandpa (the one who taught him Renewal Takewondo), seems like he is their big fish, and Jin is the key to settling their old scores with him. And trying to keep him out of the compeititon is only their 1st step in regulation, as he faces his old rival, an official judge, to insane degrees. For Han Daewi, no matter what challenges may come in pure strength and effort, he is able to deflect them all, IN STYLE and pure fighting action. Fighting against a lower-tier level Baek Sung-chul isn't easy, but he at least made it out in brute force. Mystic energy? The same that came out of Gan Man-suk, what effects does it have both in and outside of the competition? Another fast episode, but the enjoyment factor is certainly raising up the never-ending hype. Extra notes: On other topics, for webtoon readers, this episode deviated some-to-alot from the webtoon to enclose the content of 13 episodes, so not everything you'll read can be adapted as such, so no grumbling about that. |

| Seems this show really loves using wrestling moves in the fights. Well, considering it takes place inside a ring, it's not a surprise. Yuu's opponent is such a strange girl. I guess everyone has a reason to enter this tournament but the story feels pretty lackluster to me so far. At least the character roster is diverse enough with different personalities. Music is still pretty decent on most parts to get me hyped for the fights themselves. Jin: Take off your glasses Well, he's got style. |
 |
| I like that we got some more action with the other two. It really doesn't feel like this tournament will last much longer at this rate. I didn't expect a giant monster to suddenly appear. That felt so random! |
 |
| It was awesome seeing Daewi fight. His opponent wasn't a pushover. We got to see Mira use techniques with her swords which were impressive. Pretty entertaining episode if you ask me. Not surprised that Jin Mori was able to get back in the tournament but it funny that he was able to win it with a single push. |
 |
| As someone who has not read the manga, but have watched a very good share of ufc i am surprised they aren't branching out with techniques a little further. Like pro wrestling?? What? Why not jiu jitsu, or muai tai?? Lol is it just me? Am I overthinking this? Lol I often do so im not surprised haha But overall, its a great show cant wait for the next ep! |

| Another fun episode. The animation is still high quality and the fight choreography remains stellar. Three major fights in one episode, but the stand out would have to be the fight with Han. Too bad we didn't see everything he could do. The fight with Jin through me for a loop when it was confirmed that Nen pretty much exists, haha. But seriously, what was that? There are many mysteries that need to be resolved with Jin and the tournament/commissioners. The fight with Yu was nice but it was shorter than I assumed it would be. All fights were short, which I am not sure if it's a result of the source material or just a rushed adaptation. But short detailed fights are preferable to many people than long drawn out fights with minutes standing still with inner dialogue and flashbacks. |
|
| My goodness, the animation was magnificent. Didn't expect MAPPA to be this committed. A lil bit fast-paced again, but it is manageable. That fight between Yoo Mira and Man Miseon was amazing. But Han Daewi and Baek Seungchul sold me out. |
 |
| Really digging how the fights look. Sure, it was new for me at the start of the whole thing. But they've kept pace far as I'm concerned. Hope it continues and we see even more good fights. Also wtf was that at the end lmao. Should really watch more fighting based anime tbh. |
| damn the none action parts have considerable drop in animation quality already but the action parts are awesome sakuga though and getting philosophical eh with darwinism  |
| Oh boy Mira yoo, Daewi Han, Mori Jin fighting in one episode and all of em were hype. I specially loved the summoning effect they addes to Q's clown summon. This wasn't in the webtoon but looks cool af. Daewi's move was cool too. Obviously all three of our protagonists won their match and advances to the next round. Daewi's short backstory was nice too. |
 |
| That animation was genuinely amazing. It’s what is carrying this show for me. Starting to dislike this show overall though. It seems like this anime’s main purpose is for making cool fights rather telling an interesting story. Nothing wrong with that but not my cup of tea. I also felt that the moment between Jin and the master was kinda ruined with the whole stand ghost thing. That moment with Jin taking off his glasses was so badass but then out of nowhere this thing just randomly appears and ruins all my appreciation of the moment. |
| I'm really enjoying this adaptation so far and animation hasn't stopped being good yet and this is living up to the hype still. The episode really did go by fast and there were a few fights that happened. Mira went up against this weird American girl named Mah Miseon who entered the tournament for some interesting reasons lets just say and she also knew wrestling moves. Han Daewi was able to take down Baek Seung-Chul and this fight shows that he can face any kind of strength and still be able to deal with his opponent which he did so in a flashy way. The action in this fight was well done and fast-paced. After Jin Mori interfered with that match last episode he had to defeat Commissioner Q which at the end we saw him do with ease which just shows what Jin is capable of. The action and choreography of the fights and animation, in general, are top-notch. The fight do go by really fast but I think it works out with this anime. If you like an action-based show that shows off quick and detailed fighting then this anime is perfect for that. |

| This moment added with the ost were pretty hype inducing. https://streamable.com/go4i0u |
| yo that was amazing. I havent read the manga so I wasn't sure what was gonna happen to him, but it was expected... nobody would kill off the mc in the third episode. |
 |
| Man I'm so happy Mori just has that likeable MC charm with a bit of badassery mixed in. Mira And Daewi fight looked so good and the fight styles showed are so fluid |
 |
 So it's the same type of Stand as Death 13 |
| There seems to be some supernatural elements but they are so random that it doesn't even make sense especially that stand at the last. I hope they explain it or else this series got nothing other than sakuga going for it. Well, the trio won their matches. I was hoping for a long match between mori and commissioner tho. |
 |
| Damn.. that was one good episode. Jin: Take of your glasses. lol What was that fruit? Is Park Mujin testing Mori? Well good overall. |
 |
| Ah we missed Daewi's Fourth Stance when Seungchul prematurely downed himself, I don't read the source material but have encountered the Four Gods/Guardians/Heavenly Beasts/etc severarl times over in many anime already so The Fourth Stance was gonna be Azure/Blue Dragon, right? Anyway it seems to have manifested in Mori's recovery. Is Jin Taejin Mori's grandpa? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I love how i enjoyed the daewi fight more than any fight from naruto shippuden 5/5 episode |
DruMzTV said: Better animation XD? Better Studio XDDD? finished the episode and it got even worse. I truly hope there are people out there who can find enjoyment in this thing. But for an action anime, i need: Better pacing Better directing Better animation Higher frame-rate Better visuals Better Studio Better character designs Less blandness Higher budget not reused footage from the anime in the Opening Better Story in general Better effect animation better SFX this is some hot overhyped garbage right there, but again, if you arent very versed in behind the scenes stuff (animation, directing etc), i hope you can take your enjoyment out of it |
| 1. Absolutely love the comedy in this episode 2. Breathtaking choreography 3. My love for Yoo-Mina is growing, I really hope that wooden katana gets replaced by a real one or something 1. Unrealistic use of a metal bat. I prefer the swing and smack than what was in this episode 2. Unrealistic use of fruits. Veggie based diets are not the best for fighters to replenish their body. This should be common knowledge to Jin but he eats the fruits regardless. My biggest gripe had to be that ending. A demon just comes out of this guys mouth and Jin starts fighting with it. I don't know if it was made clear that demons would be involved in this but it should've been present in the first episode. The first episode (to me) demonstrates that GOH will be about hand to hand combat now I'm just learning demons are involved? Realism (in terms of fighting) just brought my scoring for GOH a little lower now until it gets explained. Even then, the explanation has to be plausible. |
 |
| Lol. I don't care about the animation but pacing was a bit too fast. Some scene popping out randomly. It seems like they'll really compress the 100 chapters into 13 episodes. Man. But, I enjoyed it, the action, a bit. Some dialouges are meh but enjoyable. |

This is my same complaint. I'm all for supernatural stuff but it has to be plausible in the realm of the story. 3 episodes in and nothing has been explained or even mentioned. Shit just came out of nowhere. |
|
| Ngl, the Han Daewi fight in this episode kind of makes me confident that Attack on Titan Season 4 might just be in good hands. The animation in fight scenes really is Sakuga. And seems like there's something more going on behind the scenes in relation to the tournament & its politics than what it shows up front. |
| MAPPA is flexing with those animations again. Han Daewi fight is an example that AOT will be sick this year. For the adaptation: Albeit that the adaptation skipped many chapters in manhwa, however they really nailed this. I hoped they just slow down a little bit here. They cram a lot of stuff in one episodes. But yeah, this is some good sh*t right there. |
 |
| So was that a stand, and so IS THAT A MUTHA FUCKING JOJO’S REFERENCE. Still I think this anime is amazing, can not wait for future episodes. |
| Err... the ending of the episode was really weird. But I'll ask the important question here: WHY EVERYBODY FIGHTS WEARING GLASSES?? |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| The fights are relatively pleasant, but when the anime focus too much on that I feel a huge emptiness and an extreme discomfort. There are the design parts that I had already complained about in the comment of the first episode. And finally, the absurdities and internal inconsistencies that end the suspension of disbelief. I couldn't help commenting on the nurse working in a miniskirt uniform, mini blouse, and long socks. The anime too adolescent, too absurd, too stupid. |

on 
| good episode. what I wonder is if he would have won if the Park guy had not given him that fruit |
