Even some of the fight scenes didnt meet expectations like Jinwoo’s reaction getting direct punch from Beru, im still amazed on the animation of this episode. The aura is too much when Jinwoo used Mutilation on Beru. When Beru changed to speed mode, everything is just too perfect!!! 🥵 Just put Chairman Go Gun Hee reaction not as per manhwa aside, this is more than enough 🔥 W EPISODE AND W ANIMATION, WE WON THIS WEEK LAD!

Combat should have been slightly longer but it still was a spectacle, i love the ost they used when he transformed, insane they adapted like 3-4 chapters in 20 mins thought

Welp, I was wrong last week. I thought this week would be Jin Woo vs ants and Goto vs King, with next week being Jin Woo vs King. Shame he wasted a vial of elixir of life, he only has a few of them.

I don't really get why he cares about Hae-in so much. I know from what everyone is saying
, right?
@amf85 Yes, that is all. SL writing is bottom tier after all.

If you don't mind minor spoilers (actually really MINOR) since they cover a few pages of 6 chapters:

too much different between anime and manga. the tension and vibes are not like when reading manga. when people are confused because there are fight among fellow ants is not animated. but yeah the anime is still good enough

@WickedFM i've seen a lot of anime, and i think he is right, even better than fog hill of 5 elements and fate heavens feel 3 that produced by ufotable
@triandd In terms of raw combat complexity etc, there are historically superior battles in anime. it has been a while though, so our brains have space to be amazed again and the general level of combat we get etc enjoy from hunter sung in this series is exceptional.

i am wondering about a future where things like this are animated at 240fps, and it goes from showing slow motion and line scribbling to present speed, to actual pure speed. literally us putting the video into half speed to see the detail of the battle.

@Tsuyo_Mika Are we sure Goto was the strongest in Japan and not just the strongest on the raid team? We've heard them talking about the second group that we haven't seen yet.
@amf85 Yes, he was the strongest in Japan.
This whole operation had two objectives on Japan's side:

1 - Kill all the S-Rank hunters from Korea to cripple it.
2 - Make Goto clear Jeju Island, a S level Raid, which would grant him the rank of Nation Level Hunter (the tier above S rank) to equiparate them with USA and China.

They're rocking the animation, lmao.
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.

Wow did Goto get hyped up just to get off screened? Damn.

With the amount of "reactions" and talk about the Broadcast I was half expecting the fight to drag into the next ep, especially when it started off as a punch out lol.

Poor ant never stood a chance, Main Character kun probably did not even use half of his skills.
He did not steal his shadow huh? And I think he also did not get the demon king before?

Considering the girl has a lot of favourites here and she didnt even do anything until now I expect her to survive

The fight obviously looked good but not completely satisfying either, maybe I had to high standards.

Wait is the healer the only S rank here who actually died? Ironic.

THE AURAAAAAA. THE ABSOLUTE AURA SEEPING OFF THIS EPISODE WAS CRAZY. First half was just a battle between aura farmers. But by the second half, Jinwoo was the ALPHA MALE. The strongest wolf of the pack. You could tell just by the sudden shift in animation quality that stuff was GETTING. DOWN. TO BUSINESS.

Managed to watch it. Animation and music as always carrying the whole thing. Too bad about the last episode and the fact that the whole Jeju island arc has more holes in its plot than a colander.

This was beyond amazing 🤩
I don’t have any explanation for those who rated the episode 1 or 2!!
It’s a shame if put such rating just to bring the general rating down
I think the studio and the staff did a great job and putting 1-2 is an insult to these efforts 🤦‍♂️
I would love to know what is there 5/5 anime, but .. you know .. I don’t care 🤷‍♂️🤪
For me this episode is 6/5

@Goukenslay That chairman-scene will SO be used in the next season of "Sister Leveling", guaranteed :D It's too perfect lol.

@MyllerPhiem Gon has no durability, in a careless moment he received an attack from Pitou which was enough to cut off his arm, but Meruem almost tanked a nuke.
@Katalizor Gon has higher durability than Meruem if you remember that he's an enforcer-type, so the more nen, the more durable his defense. And he only got hit by Pitou because Killua distracted him AND Pitou had a weird skill, neither would be the case in a fight against Meruem.

Meruem btw got killed by the nuke TWICE, lol.

This anime has the most annoying cliffhangers I ever seen in anime or any serials...
I hope he will at least get the ant as his soldier?
What I think he might do is revive that S rank healer as his minion then use him to heal her :O but he could like blind the other ones first maybe? or trap them in some cage or whatever ;p it will be outrage if he heals that human healer..
also why he wants to save Cha so much?

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

Well Super Ant didn't last long, and now I am getting Superman (the 1978 movie version) vibes all those powers and yet they are useless to save someone from dying. So is he going to turn back time? Does he even care enough about blondie as much as Superman did about Lois Lane to do something extraordinary to save her? So yeah why does he care about her at all? He has talked to her what twice? Is that enough in Korea to build a relationship on? Speaking for the audience it's not enough for me to give two shits about her. She should be dead anyway, a hit that powerful should have broken every bone on her left side and turned her internal organs to mush, doesn't look like their healer did much beyond keep her alive. And on the plus side even if she dies he can always make her one of his minions.

Just give me a big serving of sakuga animation and a banging Sawano OST going all out in the background and you have a recipe for a memorable episode and this one certainly nailed those two aspects easily. =)

Sung did have to work hard to win this fight against the black ant, but seeing how he was able to subdue his opponent was very exciting. While his win was deserved and awesome, there is more pressing matters with the deteriorating condition of Cha Hae-In.

It's looking less likely that she will survive when none of Sung's potions, even the elixir of life, can't do anything to help Cha Hae-In recover. Having said that, the episode did end on that cliffhanger just as Sung looked behind him with a panicked expression on his face. Hopefully he can find a way to save her life, but it does make me wonder if that will come at a cost. A guess it might be, but you can't rule out anything at this point with one episode remaining.

A little disappointed that the fight only lasted for half of an episode, but it was an awesome fight. I don't always enjoy Solo Leveling, but when I do, it is Dos Equis...err, major fight episodes. The animation and music during these big fights is great. Also, so happy that his potions didn't magically cure the girl. It adds some much needed intrigue to the non-fighting aspect of the show. Well, it at least added intrigue for the finale. While I just flat out don't care about the series a lot of the time, these kind of episodes are why I'm still here and why I will watch future sequels. Probably will still bitch about the writing and "story," but it can't be helped. :P

Cha Hae-in is in the worst state. I really hope she gets better and Sung Jinwoo finds her the best treatment.

Damn, the fight between Sung and that bug was beyond awesome! Animation, action and everything else were outstanding! The producers didn’t fail to deliver us excitement this season!
