17:20 Kinda wrong on that? It's only the tank that was the highest rank, and Joohee who realized that they didn't do sh!t, and it was someone else. The others, lower-ranked ones were just like "scr@w it, we beat it". 😅
One thing I love about Jinwoo’s characterization is that he’s obviously not a gamer who understands the importance of balancing stats as he levels up, but he IS someone with a massive complex after spending years mocked for being “the weakest” so obviously the first thing he’s going to do is pump every stat point he can into physical strength, and it actually pays off big time in that boss fight.
Which is really lucky he has that complex because most people who don't understand stats in games try to divide them evenly trying to be great at everything which really fucks you over most of the time.
@@AniMangHwa_ Exactly. Which is why he got beaten up by the snake, Kasaka isn't it? Because he's not agile enough to dodge them. I guess the strength adds in to his durability too.
A1 PICTURES are proving to be the only studio that understands what the manhwa and webtoon community want, if it's true omniscient reader's viewpoint, viral hit and much more manhwa and webtoons are getting an anime, I only trust A1 PICTURES to do the work, no one else😂😂
ayo i hope omniscient readers comes out too :D solo leveling and omniscient are my fav's if they come out im leaving life behind and binging it every day i can XD
Yeah people really didn't realize there's no better studio for manwha adaptation better than A1. If you see god of highschool and tower of god than you will understand what I mean.
The coolest part of these reactions, is knowing the twists to come, completely subverting everyone's theories and assumptions thus far. Like others have said, the story may not be super complicated, but it's really cool seeing Jin Woo's development and growth. I can't wait to see him arise and face the challenges ahead.
Thats the end of "sung wimp woo". The arc of "sung drip woo" starts next episode 😂. Csnt wait for yall to see the glow up. Also the only enemies jin woo really struggles with are from the dungeons the systems give him. Thats basically what the story is about. He struggles in the side quests and comes back and breezes through the main quests.
The anime didn't specify it because i think they chose to use the time for the Joohee scenes but the sword Jinwoo used was Kim's sword (the guy that ran away in the double dungeon after crying about his family) remember Jinwoo picked it up and said he'd take one of the statues with him before getting killed.
Yeah he was the one that said I have a family and ran off crying. And technically last episode Jin had his old dagger back but we know it broke in the dungeon against a goblin that's how he got stabbed. And technically again when he had his arm cut off he could've been holding on to the sword still muscle memory and all (predator scene dillon getting his arm severed but still pulling the trigger)
@@asherealey4911 honestly I wouldn't know, the knife got repaired magically, so I'd assume the sword since it was used in the double dungeon would've got ware and tear or destroyed from the interaction with the statues got repaired to by default, and Jin not really i'd say proper sword management/cleaning (wiping blood, checking dents etc) for the instant dungeon and constant swinging it and getting it stuck in the ground at the beginning weakened it bit by bit. Plus boss monster strong you could make an argument for either.
To the girl reactor, pretty sure the reason jin woo didnt jump into the golem fight is because he was assessing the situation first. Seeing how the hunters fare, if they can handle it themselves then there is no point in helping. Also i think he doesn't want the attention on him. Which is why he threw it from far away
some points to clarify: level ups come with the same full heal as from the daily training, which is why he healed after the first lycan. The sword he was using was the one he picked up in the double dungeon when its owner (Kim: the last guy to run off and leave him, JooHee and the guy who lost his arm behind) when his arm was cut off it kept holding it, so it got stuck in the inventory. He is still only E rank because the ranks are just in relation to what the association marks you as (based on the reading of your power), he is as strong as a higher rank but would need to be retested (like they tried to do in the hospital) to change his rank, the C rank you saw was the grade of the new dagger.
But there is an argument to be made about how powerful his attacks were. The testing system doesn’t matter because he wasn’t tested the instance he came out of that dungeon.
@@mahdikhandaker2510 The system doesn't measure how strong he is in terms of rank only level, it doesn't even show the level or rank of his opponents, only a general measure of relative capability shown through the name's color. Like i said his attacks are strong enough to match a boss that drops a dagger that claimed to have a c-rank difficulty to obtain. that means he is at least c-rank in terms of power but that is only his strength, his other stats are lower. Ultimately this is a situation best compared to Naruto, despite fighting Kaguya and others at the end of his story he is still technically only a Gennin. Yeah as soon as he gets tested his rank will rise accordingly but there are several reasons not to do so, 1st the retests are expensive, 2nd if he gets retested and is marked C or even B rank what are people going to say when he keeps getting stronger, even people who reawaken are rare and no one has awoken a third time or more, 3rd he would have to account for when it happened as they did retest him after the Double dungeon and saw him still weak.
The animation is wonderful and I like how they are staying true to the story so far. A-1 really nailed this episode From Jin Woo eyes glow to the last sequence of him killing the boss animation music on point.
Friendly reminder in case it comes up in the future but the Won conversion rate to USD is even more crazy in gap than the Yen. 3mil won is like 2k usd. So just a $2000 sword is enough to make Jinwoo go from running for his life against a monster stronger than him to being able 1shot it and take on multiple at once. Its a good way to show that gear makes a huge difference for a Hunter's combat power.
@@lengors7327 Well duckduckgo is apparently awful because literally every other currency converter has it at 2200. And considering the average salary in South Korea is around 40mil Won a year, no its not 20k USD xD
Btw, the enemy difficulty scaling from Jinwoo’s dungeons and to real time monsters is very very far. That’s why he one-shot the golem. We witnessing the baby steps of the Monarch A1 Pictures stepping up their game
It’s only going to be peak from now on sung drip woo is my personal top 2 favorite main characters of all time he isn’t just op for no reason this was all pre destined and he really works hard for everything he has, world never gave it to him easy. (Plus he’s the most dripped out badass there ever was )
i love how after he grinded all the beasts and levelled up since it also increased his intelligences he even started to talk to himself in a smarter way
Best mf anime right here. My boy just continues to improve... Loving this a lot. People wanna rush but I'm enjoying this anime's pacing. No need to rush art. We ain't cooking minute rice... We're serving a 5 star restaurant meal here
He is C rank at this point in the story. If you read the manhwa you wouldve known this. He beat the snake which had an orange name meaning it was equal to him. He and the daggers are C rank. He reaches High b rank after killing that B rank hunter aka kang tae shik. After he killed him he becomes a high B rank which was confirmed when he encountered woo jin chul after he beat kang tae shik. He said woo jin chul was still vastly stronger than and he'd lose if they fought and woo jin chul is an A rank.
when he levels up, its important to remember that his fatigue and his exhaustion resets. bringing him back to peak condition. thats why when he left instant dungeon hedidnt look that exhausted talking to the soldier
Manhwa/webtoon explains the sword he had in inventory was the sword he picked up at the end of episode 2 that Mr. Kim dropped before running out of temple.
The glowing is his mana gathering. I don't think he really even realizes his right now his mana gathers like that. It continues to happen throughout the manhwa. Eventually, he does it on purpose, but for now, it happens when his determination increases.
I wouldn’t consider this spoilers since you could kinda tell in episode 1, but glowing of any variety comes from the mana emanating off the body of the hunter. Sung has always been massively weak. The mana meter ranked him as only having 10 mana, so he’d never even had enough in his body for it to leak out like that. Now that he’s leveled a lot, he has more mana. The Intelligence stat increases the mana pool. Since he was base 10 and got 1 for each level-up, he should have level 24 INT when facing Kasaka, so his mana pool has grown by a lot already. Just like his eyes glowing when he senses the boss, it’s using mana. Sung’s physical attacks don’t consume mana, so he doesn’t really show it during movement in the episode until he starts to let it leak out.
This episode was INSANE! The animation quality is so good, the VA smashed it, and the score was so intense! As a manhwa reader I haven't been suuuuper pleased with the pacing of the anime so far, but this episode got me right back on board - never been more hyped in my life! 🔥
@@mr.dripwoo5435 No of course not, I'm not talking about condensing the story, just what scenes happen when to contribute to the feeling of action and progress. IMO the character introduction and lore-dump scenes (that I acknowledge are in the LN but not the manhwa) did kinda bog down ep 1 and 3; we could have got to the smile in ep 1 if that stuff had come later when it's of more immediate relevance. It's been hard for me to get friends into the anime because it felt a bit slow in parts, with lots of cuts to other characters that won't become important until later. It's a matter of personal preference not objective, my opinion is only my own, I just think Dubu's pacing in the manhwa (focusing purely on Jin-woo's story in the beginning before introducing characters/lore) was better and may have hooked people more immediately into the anime.
When will the other hunters discover the MC? This is the most exciting phase for me, the mystery and intrigue. It goes down for me when the MC is discovered and starts working with the other characters. 😅
22:40 I love your optimism lol. I wouldn't want to live there because we would mostly likely be the fodders who die left and right. Mike Tyson, Ali, etc are the ones who would be doing cool shit like this😂
Incoming essay: So I see a lot of people commenting about how they would have put stats in differently, but analyzing it, he actually made the best choice. If he put points in vit then he would have ended up like the guy in dr. Stone who can take a beating for days, but can never win a fight. Putting points in agility would end with mostly the same results, but be flashier. The only difference being that with agility you might be able to get at weak points with less defense, but that isn’t always an option. Perception would allow him to see the weak points and incoming attacks, but without other stats to back it up he’d end up like the a-hole in slime who the old oni killed. Able to see the attack but unable to do anything about it. Since I am anime only I am marking int as “unsafe.” It is possible that int can give you access to spells at certain breakpoints which can then be used to defeat enemies, but, without knowing how that all works, it’s a gamble with the potential to be the best pick or middling. Outside of the magic, the int would help create plans of attack and make the best use out of what tools he has on hand, but our boy is poor and doesn’t have an arsenal to get creative with. This leaves strength. Strength in the end is the best choice to put stats in early as it means he can actually kill things he fights. This then also fills the role of all other stats as a dead enemy can’t attack you in the first place so there’s no need to dodge or take the hits.
It feels me witgh joy watching people enjoy SL this much haha As someone who LOVES the mhanwa and ln, I sometimes am super critical abour the direction an animation of the show, but then I watch people enjoy the anime this much and makes me appreciate it a bit more hehe
Ngl, I'm not upset at the fact that they got after Joohee for not doing her job while on the battlefield for 3 reasons. 1: She chose to go there despite not being mentally prepared for it when she could've not gone at all since it wouldn't make a difference either way. 2: They most likely don't know what happened to her. And 3: their lives are on the line.
I love how accurate to real MMO's the dungeon break party in this ep is! Healers: Come on guys, if we work together we can do this! Tank: WTF are you guys doing, why is this thing not dead yet? DPS: This guy is haaaaard! ~whine
Jinwoo bodied all other magic beasts in the instance dungeon. He could use the teleportation stone, or close the instance dungeon by beating the boss. As you saw he chose the latter. There was no more milking the dungeon to level up further. Kasaka was the last magic beast to eliminate 🤷🏽♀️
A1 PICTURES are the chosen ones for solo leveling, not mappa, wit studios or ufotable, this is how you adapt a manhwa and webtoon into an anime, stick to the source material 😍
Mappa is really hit or miss, did their best to salvage the trash that was JJK but dropped the ball completely on CSM since they don't give a shit about that series
Lmaoo dead ass. Thats why i love it. The building up for hype uses classic scenarios like this. City under threat by LOW TIER villain and you the audience see superman in the crowd. While the characters have no idea.
@21:10 diminishing returns would make that not worth it. He said he wasn't getting nearly as much XP from them anymore, so he would've been there for ages
Iwas soworried that i would not enjoy this episode because I had read this part of the manhwa so many times. Daaaamn, they took care of me! This was 101% badass and gorgeously made!! That last bit was the best. "Oh, i guess they really beat on it. Good thing me tossing that broke ass sword might have helped some." NO. You blew away it's completely solid barrier, and saved countless lives. Sung, don't forget to be modest and self-deprecating, k? Awesome. Just awesome.
the fact that people believe 86, kaguya and fate strange fake were done by either mappa wit studio or ufotable is wild, A1 PICTURES ARE BUILT DIFFERENT AND PEOPLE ARE NOW REALIZING THAT LOL
