Welp, we're on the way to the last episode. Igris, a great opponent, but not enough to beat him. Sung sitting on the throne was kinda dope and
stabbing Igris in the eye with the dagger looked wild. AND yeah, the time he should dodge the most obvious attack, he didn't.
We'll know how Sung can handle this assault next time.
I'm waiting for some announce about a sequel (hopefully)...

That fight was way better than I expected. When Jin was getting thrown tumbling in mid-air in 1st POV then cut to Igris about to slice him in half with the sword was crazzzzy. That sense of disorientation while getting thrown in a hip throw or leg sweep really shined through with the storyboard and edits.

Plus when Igris dragged Jin through the bricks was pretty badass.

Hand to hand fighting when done right is so refreshing.

This dungeon was a tough one for Jinwoo. Dealing with tough enemies is one thing, but doing so while being unable to heal his health or replenish his magic stats asks a lot of him to make sure he doesn't get hit.

He did well to adapt to these rules and made the soldier mob enemies look weak. However, things got much harder for him when he went up against Igris, decked in full red armour. The fight was full of hard hitting moves from Igris as Jinwoo struggled to deal with the constant onslaught of attacks. In the end, he used the element of surprise to finally get the upper hand and boy did he do a damn good job at that! The animation quality for the fight itself was impressive, too. =)

Even though Jinwoo did win and gained some excellent rewards, he's not out of danger yet. The real job-change challenge has begun, where even the menu system itself wishes him "Good luck." in lasting as long as he can against an infinite spawning enemies and losing his teleportation stone while low on health and magic is far from ideal.

Great episode overall. With the Jeju Island raid about to begin and with Jinwoo in a pinch, the next episode should be another banger.

Alright by far the best fight we've gotten yet in the anime. Really love how they are going all out with the video game fantasy now. Mages with detection, assassins with stealth. I also love the gearing fantasy, seeing the character sheet with him wearing the collar from the previous un-clearable dungeon was a nice touch. Man needs to figure out what his best in slot is.

Worth mentioning too I really liked the idea of the other guild progress raiding the island. 3 times they've entered and still have to figure out what the trash mobs are capable of. Just a cool concept that there is a raid out there that the S-rank hunters have barely even started to full clear. Makes me wonder how insane the flame castle will be for a solo clear.

@FullyCharged we saw a glimpse of the gauntlet stats when he got them, but it only showed the dmg reduction, not the additional effects. I doubt they would've just forgotten about it when it was such an important detail during the fight.

I don't know why they would deliberately get rid of it tho. Maybe it's to make future fights harder for him. The gauntlet was kinda OP.
@Vedrun The fight makes so much more sense now. That's OP as hell against a single weapon.

wow... you really had to give me a cliffhanger like that XDDD. Such a good episode. I have a theory that he can die in that dungeon, in the stage of the dungeon that he is. I don't think that he can ever pass it alone... unless.. the people we saw (I actually can't remember their names) but the people travelling to an island on a mission, actually might be going to his dungeon? And when they turn up, he can leave? Not sure, just speculation but I'm thinking more that he has to "die" eventually in that dungeon to get back to the outside world. The longer he survives, the more xp he gains or something. Anyway I will find out next week I guess...

Can't believe how good an episode this was

That was Jin's hardest battle yet! And just when we thought it was over he was overwhelmed with multiple lower grade knights and magicians.. losing his teleportation stone at the end.

If he dies in that quest he probably dies for good, right? The teleportation stone was a fail-safe...
I think Jin must be an A-Ranker by now. And the red knight he defeated was probably S-Rank.
Jin will probably reach S-Rank, or higher, in the second cour.

@Fenyy Interesting idea. The quest of those high grade adventurers (some of whom are S-Rankers) on that island might indeed be connected to Jin's quest.

MC literally put on plot armor before the fight.

Insane animation, this title is treated better treatment than many of the most popular Manga series.

How many times is Jinwoo going to get a Teleportation Stone beaten out of his hands?

I think that I would rather see Jinwoo fight a bit weaker Bosses that he brings down through a combination of all of his skills rather than having to go "berserk" and win with the power of plot.

Rather obvious that Jinwoo will beat the Centipede during the punishment for missing his daily quest, through his power-up, I would enjoy if the same level of foreshadowing is applied to his ridiculous victories like the one this episode.

@Morragan when he sat on the throne he faked being unconscious to catch Igris off guard, he stabbed his weak point, which he couldn't before because Igris is way too fast to hit the small opening in his helmet, that's why he choose to fist fight.

When he pushed him into the wall he used his strongest skill repeatedly while stabbing his weak point until he was out of mana.

Just because people don't seem to be able to comprehend what happened, doesn't mean it was cheap. The only problem in the whole fight was, that he used the gauntlet to catch the sword, without explaining why it could do so in the first place. The gauntlet originally had the effect to prevent injury to his hand, which is why he could catch the sword. They didn't show the effect tho.

@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 he is doing it to survive in the dungeons,help his Mother and sister economically and trying to find the cure for his Mother sickness,moreover now he is helping Jinhoo as well, no heart and soul? How so? The only thing i see here that has no substance is this comment of yours.

@Dukino Exactly lmao I still really don't get the hype behind this show 11 episodes in. It's just another power fantasy/wish fulfillment anime, but I don't get why this one gets so much attention. But yeah there's not much to see here. With how much hype there's been around this show I was expecting way more but it's just pure spectacle and no real substance. This is apparently supposed to be for his mom but like... No lol

For maga readers, the episode was kinda meh. But I think if you watch the show with no experience than it was fun I guess. Can't predict where the Anime is going but if the mess up the end of S1 the show will have no bright future.

@Vedrun No, that would be believable if he didn't take a few sweet seconds to shout the edgy "I'm not finished yet" line. The victory was cheap. Whether you feel like it was or not, they could have adapter that scene way better by just having him shout it after stabbing the knight in the eye.

@Alkimia it is not famous for its story which is alright but for the manhwa readers it was really cool to read it as everyone felt as a player while reading and visualizing alongside Jin hoo...His growth from double dungeon to the very end and each time the fights got better and enjoyable to watch thats why it has got that much craze and popularity that A-1 pictures adapt it finally while delivering it 🔥

@Gilgamesh216 They keeo brining up this disastrous bug island mission like the audience is supposed to know what this means. What does it even mean?!?!!?! They've only shown glimpses of people dying why should we care?!?!?! They keep piece mealing what happened and it sucks!!
@Dukino Sorry to hear you're not feeling the Bug Island mission storyline. It seems like the gradual reveal of the events isn't quite hitting for you. Hang in there though, as the pieces will eventually come together to create a more impactful and compelling narrative. Sometimes the slow build-up can lead to a satisfying payoff! As someone who has read the manga i would say keep watching, hopefully it will all start to make sense and draw you in more because it’s a really nice arc. :)

The most anticipated fight of the cour and they kept interrupting it with useless scenes about events that won't even be part of said cour. And they even included one of the sister eating a sandwich... man, what a mess.

And the way how this Igris boss went from absolutely owning the fight to losing it in two seconds because MC started shouting cliche shounen lines was simply laughable.

Great fight. Excellent animation consistency.

Exactly what's needed from this production.

Great follow up to the serial murder in the dungeon arc/episode. In level of production quality.

Keep it up for the remainder of the run. 👍
