| At the time when he made the kill, Jin-Woo wasn't in the best state of mind so it's no surprise that he tries to recall what happened. Nonetheless, this episode shows that he continues to want to improve himself and go beyond expectations. He's got a strong work ethic if you ask me. Jin-Woo once again had to fight some nasty monster this episode. Now that I think about it, he's fought some insane shit this season already. The show still adheres to RPG and game elements with the battles though. This episode also had him in one of the more difficulty ifghts. |

| Well, Jinho being the super rich kid he is, of course he’d try to get Jinwoo on his side, but knowing the benefits he gets from the system, that’s just not a profitable deal for Jinwoo. But trust me, their relationship is there to stay, so rest assured that meeting ain’t gonna sour the mood going forward. As for consequences of whatever Jinwoo did to those thugs last episode, the younger brother of that dumb af big brother will come to take his revenge. Will see that in due time, but for now, it’s the usual grinding, with him exploring the dungeons and such, except when he actually did get in trouble against that three faced wolf sort of, I mean he had a genuine reason to clear the dungeon this time around, so of course he’d not let go of this opportunity this easy. Plenty of blood raining this episode, but despite facing the difficulties of like let’s say, lower hp or something, Jinwoo did actually beat the main boss, the cerberus, and hey he got that ELIXIR OF LIFE. We know how he's gonna use that anyway. Be it a moving episode, but the standards haven't quite seen a low yet. Great job. |

| Somebody's gotta stop A-1, because seriously, they're on fire with two wins in a row. While clearing the C-rank dungeon, Jinwoo, who had ruthlessly dealt with the attackers from Hwang Dongsuk's squad driven by greed, felt bewildered by his own ability to take human lives without hesitation. However, as he continued his training and completed more daily quests than required, he encountered a key that would lead him to a dungeon. After entering the dungeon, Jinwoo starts to think about how if a key's rarity is proportional to the dungeon's difficulty, then the dungeon he had just entered... was an S-Rank one! The new scenes they added to the anime really make a difference. Like, for example, they show Jinwoo visiting his mom, which never happened in the original manhwa. I mean, he's supposed to be this family guy, but they never showed him visiting his sick mom, at least not in the first 50 chapters that I've read. I love how the anime really dives into the beatdown Jinwoo takes from Cerberus, unlike in the manhwa. I mean, it's his first time tackling an S-Rank dungeon—there's no way he's walking out of there unscathed. But when he picks himself up again, it's like a whole new level of determination kicks in. Huge kudos to A-1 for picking up this project and putting so much care into it. People might argue about other studios, but when A-1 commits, they really shine. This episode is hands down the most visually stunning one yet. And Jinwoo... man, he's unstoppable. Beating an A-Rank boss like it's nothing. Just keeps on leveling up, all on his own. |

| It would be an understatement to say that A-1 Pictures are giving justice to this anime, the adaptation has been a masterpiece since the beginning. At this point, Manhwa/Webtoon fans are enjoying a buffet. Mr. Woo Jinchul of the Korean Hunters Association is becoming suspicious of the events surrounding Sung Jinwoo. Reading reports about Jinwoo (assumed to be E-rank), surviving twice, they cannot overlook this case. And S-rank Hwang Dongsoo is now heading to Korea seeking revenge for his brother, Dongsuk. Sung Jinwoo and Yoo Jinho now face imminent danger. The Cerberus fight was so cool! Jinwoo having a "Health and Longevity" buff was so cheap, allowing him to consume Kasaka's Venom Gland without experiencing permanent damage from poison. It's so funny that he's unable to get drunk due to the buff. Jinwoo now has the opportunity to cure his mother with the Elixir of Life. Of course this is good news for him, knowing that he may finally be able to bring his mother the healing she deserves. Jinwoo's decision not to continue venturing through the castle was a good call because he is underleveled, unlike other power fantasy characters who just go straight ahead and rely on their plot armor. |

| the cerberus fight is cool also he got a chance to cure his mother with that elixir of life |
| This was Jinwoo's toughest challenge yet, coming dangerously close to the brink of death for the first time since the premiere episode. Thankfully, unlike then, he has a lot of tools in his arsenal that allowed him to just barely come away from that battle alive. After that struggle, he got a craft guide for the Elixir of Life. He's a step closer to being able to cure his mom. Gotta get stronger first though before coming back to that dungeon. A-1 killed it again this week, what another great action-packed episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Awesome episode. Too bad he is on the hit list now. |
| The action was really cool again, Jin Woo had to fight hard this time though. Sucks that next week is recap episode. One extra week to wait. |
 |
| well sung jin woo almost died again he should really sign the deal and buy some good equipment soon well i already know whats gonna happen so no point in saying what i think anyway sung jin woo is in danger |
 |
| another episode of peak Episodes like this are great because they remind us that even though Jinwoo has come far, he’s still got a LONG way to go. That Cerberus fight was insane but we’ll get to that a little later. After everything that went down the last couple episodes, it’s nice to see Jinwoo and his little sister having some quality time together. Bro went from getting teased by her to being the overprotective older brother. His levelling up has had some major changes on his personality. Personally taking 30 billion won to do some raids sounds like a very easy decision, but after seeing how treacherous people in this industry can be, I understand why Jinwoo was skeptical. But 30 billion is 30 billion and like his sister said that would totally change their lives. Making things easier for his mother and sister. Idk if saying he’d take Jinwoo’s secret to the grave if he accepted really helped Jinho there… kinda implies you’d tell otherwise lol Crazy seeing how easily Jinwoo can do double the training regimen now after struggling with the standard routine at the start. Getting those nice loot boxes is cool. That’s on top of the detoxification ability we learnt about. Being a player has some cool perks Dongsoo’s brother revenge plot is interesting too. I wonder what he got going on that he would prioritise over his brother’s presumed killers? Also funny that he would assume two very low rank hunters were able to take out his brother. Now onto the climax of the episode, the Cerberus fight was intense. As usual the Sawano OST only heightened the moment and made it even better. A-1 cook with the story boarding and direction during the fight and it definitely conveyed how difficult the fight was for Jinwoo. Getting his arm bit off and damn near chewed up by the Cerberus was wild. These fights are always so brutal. I wish he would’ve killed it a different way than the eye stab that we saw during the spider fight, but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, I guess lol Smart move not to head off into the castle if you’re struggling with the guardian.. we’ve got a short term goal for Jinwoo to strive towards now. If that’s what’s on the outside, I can’t wait to see what enemies await inside. Recap episode next week so nothing new till two weeks 😩 |

| I wasn't planning on posting anything about this show, but I genuinely don't get the hype around it lol like yeah I guess the animation is pretty cool but idk I've been on the fence between dropping this or not since episode like 3 or 4, and I still am. Only reason I haven't yet is because this show got so hyped up so it must be really good... Right? Idk I might stick around to the end to see where it goes but it does feel just a little overrated at least to me |

| @Alkimia nah drop it since its a simple power fantasy story the hero will keep growing in power until no one can stop him anymore so thats it if youre not enjoying it so far you will not enjoy it later on too |
| Ofc cerberus would fall after taking only a few hits in his one of six eyes... |
 |
| Wow so great keep up the good work :) |

| I thought I was watching SAO for a moment; bro is like Kirito but bloodier 💀 |
| Yeah definitely you have to praise A1 for creating this masterpiece adaptation. The Cerberus fight was so unique though in the manhwa Jin-woo faced less difficulty than in the anime.This a change.Jin-woo also got the elixir of Life which can be used to cure his mother. Jin-woo is not overconfident so he didn't try to clear the entire dungeon. Jin-woo also got the Detoxification Effect,this will come handy against poisons. Jinho makes an interesting offer to Jin-woo knowing Jin-woo's strength.Hwang Dongsoo - the brother of the Hunter is targeting both Jin-woo and Jinho.They should be prepared and careful.Overall, a pretty great episode.Eagerly waiting for the next one. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode. As others have mentioned, the animation is impressive. I like that there is room for world and character building along with the action. |
 |
| So if he does all the drugs in the world he just gets megabuffed??? It would be cool if he fought an eyeless Monster so we could get a different fight |
| Every "new" thing manhwa readers spot comes from real original which is novel. So give producer some respect, thnx. |
| Fantastic, it's finally getting on it. Igris is close |
| Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO. |
| Damn the animations were pretty good this week. Good episode and it was definitely fun to watch. |

If you don't like it you can watch other shows instead? |

| @deg Yeah I think I may just end up dropping here in that case. I can't really say I've been enjoying the last few episodes as much as with other series. @Gilgamesh216 Exactly! Like based on all the hype this show has been getting especially near the start I was expecting a bit more but yeah the story isn't anything groundbreaking or deep, imo it's mostly just pure action and things I've seen before in other places. |
|
| Daaang! A-1 nailed it. The sereberus fight was too short and underwhelming in the manhwa, but in the anime it felt like a real threat. Loved it 5/5. |
| Noticed the animation dropping a few times; but thats just due to the fact that it has been really solid up to this point. Some nice character and world building. Epic fighting scene. |
| . |
| Entering a new dungeon and already facing a boss level monster lol. One more bite and he would've been dog food. |
| Poor Doggo got killed. :( |

| Instead of getting ready, Mc goes straight to such a difficult dungeon and defeats the monster again by stabbing him in the eye with a dagger xD It's a pity that MC's relationship with her mother is poorly developed... it practically doesn't exist, so I don't really care about the plot with this potion, they seriously could have give at least one flashback or something😐 |
