| It shouldn't be a surprise that rather than taking part of the raid, Shun decided to be with his mother instead. Still, I think it was a cool moment for him to protect Cha Hae-In. There's some character rivalries built into this episode as well. Pretty cool to see Beru making an appearance in this. They're definitely just getting started on this so the main battles should be more exciting ahead. |

| I mean, considering that Jeju Island starts next week, I thought they would keep all the resources for the next couple weeks, but hey, to my surprise, this episode still looked really damn good lmao. Idk about the fact that like all the attacks this episode looked like they was pulling a Luffy and spamming that gatling gun, but that match between Jinwoo and Goto looked really damn good. Had impact frames, dynamic camera shots, everything you'd expect from a big fight, and NOT a small fight like this xD But yeah, fight got stopped, obviously. And Jinwoo got out with just a scratch on the cheek, meanwhile Goto left with PTSD thanks to Jinwoo lol. Little jump cut briefly to the island though, and yeah, a certain someone made an appearance there... we'll see more of him soon. Speaking of seeing people, was nice to see some of the OGs again this episode for whatever reason. A nice addition. But yeah, the REAL highlight of the episode is the basically all of the B part, where the arc that's been hyped up since day one, the arc every reader has waited for ever since the anime was even announced, the Jeju Island Raid arc, is officially underway.... ... WithOUT Jinwoo, mind you though lmao. Even still without him though, these aren't any weak hunters picked up off the street, they are some of the most powerful hunters in the world out here fighting. They can hold their own without the man himself. Even without Jinwoo on the field though, a certain someone there has aura on the same level as him... and that final scene of him FUCKING BEHEADING THAT POOR HUNTER WAS JUST THE EXTENT OF IT. These next three episodes are going to be peak Solo Leveling, and I'm all here for it. |

| 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. |
| Finally the official commencement of 4th Jeju Island Raid begins now🔥 🤩. Jinwoo vs Goto would have broken the training chamber resulting in heavy casualties around that building. Jinwoo. Ants are evolving at an alarming rate & Beru is one of those results. The Kind healer finally volunteers joins the mission 😭 we'll know what's going to happen to him still excited to see the remaining actions. And the 1st Victim of Beru is the healer from Nippon.    |

| Another banger episode from A-1 I am loving the Japanese hunters. That was a cool sparring match with them. Got to see my baby Cha Hae-in in action and Goto and Jinwoo going aura for Aura. I hate that they cut it so short tho damn it I wanted to see them go all out! The Jeju raid is finally here and it looks like it could be the most important raid in history. The ants are evolving at such a fast rate and I like that we got to hear the queen’s inner monologue. Not only are magic beasts getting stronger, they’re getting smarter, but why? Still think it’s some sort of multiversal game that whoever made the world has created to fight off some sort of invasion. That super ant that was created is going to be insane to take on. That aside, Jinwoo know his OP ass should’ve been on the raid with everyone else. Essentially the most powerful person in the country and sitting out the most important raid ever lol. That fucking cliffhanger ending oh my goodness. I was just starting to say how cute Shimizu was and how I liked her and boom, decapitated. An S rank gone just like that. Granted she’s a healer, but if that ant can sneak up on S ranks and kill them so easily he’s got to be incredibly OP. I can’t wait for next week |

| So guys... What Shimizu want in return? Will we ever get the answer? lol |
 |
| The Raid has finally begun and the bodies are gonna start flying soon on the island. Even tho they are S-Rank hunters. They are facing far more dangerous beasts here. I understand Jinwoo, but he should've gone with them. I think he overestimated those guys and I can't blame him tbh. They are way too strong as well. But, let's see how they handle these ants. That last shot was not giving good vibes. |
 |
| I’ve heard a lot of hype over the Jeju Island Raid so I’m looking forward to these final episodes. Things are already off to an intense start with the healer chick getting beheaded in an instant. This is looking like it’ll be tougher than these Hunters thought. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Holy mother of cliffhangers.... |
 |
| Loved the Ryuji & Himwoo fight, was looking forward to it, but it kinda ended faster than how it felt in the manhwa. Nonetheless, glad that the Jeju arc has officially started. Excited for the upcoming 3 episodes. |
The big ant is coming... VIOLENTLY. Meanwhile, Jinwoo: "Don't touch my future wife."  I think we have 3 more episodes on Jeju Island, the last 3 of the season. Enough for those who voted down on the previous episode, because there wasn't enough violence but rather a Jinwoo finally achieving his main objective, to be happy again. |
| ©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). |
| If that evolved ant is strong enough to behead an S rank with 2 other S ranks there without being detected, then they got their hands full for sure. I wonder what if the implanted shadow she had will trigger Jinwoo's attention. The episodes always seem too short, damnit! |
 |
| In this episode we have the start of the Jeju Island raid. At first we saw korean hunters vs Japanese Hunters.Apart from Cha Hae-in none of the korean hunters are really a match for the Japanese ones.It was cute to see Jin-woo saving Cha Hae-in in this episode from the mad dash of one Japanese Hunter. And we had Goto Ryuji vs Jin-woo and everyone is shocked to see Jin-woo matching Goto Ryuji in fight. It was understandable that Jin-woo can't join the raid because of his mother. The raid is huge ,even retired and e rank hunters have come out to join the raid. Korean hunters have joined the fight. The Ants queen's son is born in this episode and his aura was enough to shake the entire island.And he showed his power when he killed a Japanese S Rank Hunter.Eager to see what happens next episode.Overall,a pretty great episode. |
 |
| Bro is great that we finally get to the chimera ant arc |
 |
| The Japanese hunters are pretty good. Crazy that the Korean hunters lost to them. Goto vs Jinwoo was cut too short. Shame. Would've been cool to see the two seriously fighting. And since this will probably be the last Jinwoo fight in a while. 4th Jeju Island Raid has now started. Their plans were competent. But it's an unfortunate timing that they attacked only after a new type of strong ant hatched. If only they came a few days earlier. Tho I guess it could've been way worse if they sat on their ass and did nothing. Jinwoo not going to the raid was also a massive mistake. I wonder if he will regret it later. That cliffhanger was dirty. |
| Nice sparring, if you could call it that lol. The raid officially begins and it's already going wrong, F for the hunters. |
 |
| insane cliffhanger but was to be expected, jinwoo having wayy to much faith in the sranks. |
 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. |
| It’s seldom I write this but the anime adaptation might be even better than the manwha. It fleshes things out and gives just a tiny bit more characterization |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands."

| Boom!! HEADSHOT! |
| "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." |
| The raid has finally begun! I was hoping to see Sung kick some ass, but the fight was pretty short and stopped before escalating. The cliffhangers are unbearable. How am I supposed to wait a week for the next episode with an ending like that? |
| once again, it was a great ep but this woman don't think... |
| PLEASE STOP RATING!!! less than 4 means that you don't know how to judge Anime / Manga!!! best recom on https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh or Discord https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7 |
Farabeuf said: It’s seldom I write this but the anime adaptation might be even better than the manwha. It fleshes things out and gives just a tiny bit more characterization ... So this is the story "fleshed out"? I'm sorry but what is this about the manga being... ah, forget it. It's like trying to put your hand into what you think is a small, still puddle of water and it's actually a piece of very shiny plastic. It reminds me of a time when someone called csm something like "a mature story for intellectual young adults". I chuckled. This time not even. I thought it could not get much worse, but now that even the "let's brutally murder a somewhat agreeable, apparently faultless side character in a way that makes no sense and for no other purpose than to be gory and edgy, even though it's evident that jinwoo will win regardless and no main or main related characters will die" box has been filled, there's not many left. |
| I was expecting a bit more from the S-rank fight, but it was still good. But now, the real deal has begun—the 4th raid on Jeju Island. The Hunter Association needs to figure out a way to get Jinwoo to join, especially with the birth of the Ant Prince. That cliffhanger was unexpected—poor healer, now she won’t be able to get her "payment" for healing her teammate (if you know what I mean). 😂 |

| Beru's here, and tough asf. |
 |
Dang never even made it to the waifu list 😭, red head turnt to no head, some crazy timing fr. |
