| Damn, Taeshik really is something...psychotic and has a lot of ego. Almost like the opposite of Jin, but no pushover at all. It's kinda interesting how some of the most dangerous beings in this show are not the monsters but humans. Jin did eventually step in to challenge him so this turned into somewhat of a character showdown. A lot of attitude this episode but I think it's also the music that made this episode that much intense. |

| I mean at this point he looks like a whole new person anyways, so stop getting surprised every next second lol. By the way, goblins in anime being fodder for leveling up would never stop being hilarious to me. Though this dungeon raid, which was the reunion of the survivors of that tragedy, was a red flag from the start, but getting to know why those prisoners were brought there to begin with just confirmed the obvious… … I mean that spiky dude being a hitman, who’s a freak in himself, who just wanted to kill those prisoners for fun brought those people along with him under a facade of clearing a dungeon. This man really is the lowest of the low, I mean after killing pretty much everyone except Jinwoo’s group, he still wanted to get rid of the rest of the bunch, just so the word about him doesn’t go out. Been a long time, but I remember this part well enough. This was the first instance when someone other than Jinwoo himself got to know about his awakened powers. And man, what a contest it was between the two. Studio has done a good job with fight choreographies till now, and they did excellent with this episode too. Just Jinwoo’s aura, and that's all it took to get done with Taeshik. The sequence of people showing pikachu faces over Jinwoo’s powers have started now, and man this will go for a very loooooooooong time lol. Another good episode. |

| A-1 just keeps getting better somehow. During the raid organized by the Hunter's Association, Jinwoo reunites with Song Chiyul, Lee Joohee, Kim Sangshik, and Kang Jeongho, survivors of the Double Dungeon. They join Kang Taeshik and others from the Surveillance Team to explore the D-rank dungeon. Jinwoo, Song, and Lee split up to investigate separate paths, but they are startled by Kim's scream from a different route. Hurrying to Kim's location, they arrive too late. It's great seeing the Double Dungeon crew back together, but the focus at least first part of the episode is on Chiyul this time. He's fighting monsters and even going up against Taeshik with just one arm. Joohee's dealing with some serious trauma too. The episode doesn't hold back on the blood and gore, but it's well done. Sangshik's death hits hard, and the animation is top-notch. One thing I wish they'd change is the characters' eye colors. Despite that, it's an awesome episode overall. Taeshik's death scene is powerful, and Joohee looks stunning at the end. Can't wait for the next one. Jinwoo can't hide forever. Even though Chiyul took the hit this time, it's clear that he's now an assassin lurking in the shadows. |

| Sung Jin-woo vs Kang Taeshik was incredibly cool, a battle of the speed assassins. The fight choreographies and the music was so good. Watching Song Chi-Yul, who only had one arm, fight with a sword was truly beautiful. He was a master swordsman, as shown by him training a S-rank in the previous episode. I feel sorry for Lee Joohee and Song Chi-Yul, they had just reunited before experiencing another incident, and Kim Sangshik's death was unfortunate. |

The Battle was on another 💫.  |
| Damn savourable episode. really.. to see it animated had a different effect as expected, it was spectacular, it receives my highest acclaim. Both holding an equal amount of power.. at first. but soon the tables turned in favour to Sung due to his enigmatic system, and other peculiar skills. Truly, the fight b/w Taeshik and Sung was possibly the beginning of the end, BUT! NO SPOILERS (tho you guys already knows XD). A legendary battle of assassins. I can't help but gloss over it Kyuuuu~ I really love series like this. |
| "All things, be they divine or mortal, find their ultimate end. It is not a harsh punishment, but a merciful pardon."  |
| Wtfffff didn't expect Kang to be someone like this. Damn man. Rip Kim, I feel really bad about his family. (And also for Jungho, no one is talking about him even though he was killed too lol) These blue eyes looks cool as hell. Oh hey, the crystal from the first episode. Joohee looks really beautiful here. I said that I hope no one dies this time last week? Yeeaaahhhhhhh. Amaing episode, the fight looked really damn good. It was like two monsters fighting each other. |

| Shit got real once again. Damn. This Taeshik guy was a real asshole. He didn't have to kill those 2 people. But I guess these types of evil and greedy hunters wouldn't be rare in that world. It's a shame that Kim and his friend died like that. Wish they lived to see Jinwoo being a badass... It's cool that Song covered for Sung. That's the least he could've done to help someone who saved his life. Also, I'm noticing that they basically take anything for the report without investigating. Probably not their fault tho. I like how Jinwoo is losing his humanity as he's getting stronger. Reminds me of Parasyte the Maxim. Fight scenes are cool and all but it's these types of conflicts that really intrigue me. I hope the show will keep acknowledging this. |
| That tragedy finally ended with a sour taste. Two of the supporting characters died in a single episode. Joo-Hee still the best girl.  |
| 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. |
| that noob think he can beat mc? smh very ez kill ggwp |
 |
| And the next crazy person gets killed. Good job, great episode! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| I really really don't get the high praise this anime gets. Sure the fights are usually fun and animation is pretty good, but the plot sucks and everything else is just painfully average at best... |
 |
| I thought we'd see Jinwoo solo the boss for this dungeon after he opened those doors, but I suppose ending it with Taeshik is better since he was the main antagonist of this dungeon. Less is more. |
| Song Chiyul's survival group together once again in the dungeon, this time is different as 3 different paths are set to find the boss room. With Taeshik being given a reward to deal with criminals of someone who've had his family broken, he took care of the criminals quick, but also Jeongho and Sangshik, who planned to apologize for their abandonment the last time, but had to make do with their untimely deaths. And Chiyul facing against Taeshik, Jinwoo knows that he's not as simple to be dealt with. The assassin Gunter vs. the false reawakened Hunter, facing a psychotic person like Taeshik, Jinwoo knowing that he's evenly matched, but that he has the system's emergency quest activating to his benefit, as well as the system's granting of his special abilities. That enabled him to clear the dungeon in record time, and the report to fellow investigator Woo Jinchul about his killing from both Chiyul and Joohee, things are not going the easy way from here on out. Jinwoo has attitude, though how long will his power be kept a secret? |

| so good, l'm so happy to have kusirya/frieren/solo leveling airing together |
| well that was some good fighting especially sung jin woo "Murderous intent" was very chilling anyway this confirms he is currently a rank |
 |
| wish they showed what sung jin woo did to the prisoner after defeating the purple hair dude |
Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit. Since Jin has infinite potential, he will keep growing in power endlessly and eventually might even reach godhood. But since with great power comes great responsibility, it might come at the cost of his very humanity. |

| Jinwoo Aura mentioned officially in the anime ✅ Jinwoo gets his first high rank human kill✅ Another really good Solo Levelling episode. Honestly, Kang really didn’t do anything wrong until he threatened my baby Joohee. At that point, he had to go lol. Killing the prisoners I was ok with because they raped a girl and got off light for it, and they clearly weren’t remorseful. The two adventurers he killed had abandoned the party in the first dungeon so didn’t care about them either. But trying to kill the old dude and Joohee to leave no witnesses was too far 🤷🏾♂️ Fight between he and Jinwoo started out a little subpar compared to A-1’s usual standards. Lot of speed lines and some meh frames, but once Jinwoo started powering up it got a lot better. So if Kang is a B rank, albeit one of the very best and gave Jinwoo a little trouble, I wonder what a fight against an A rank like Jinchul would be like.. “The stronger I get, the more I feel something inside of me falling apart” I think this’ll be one of the most interesting things in the series. Just how much will he change from who he started out as. From what I’ve heard he’s gonna get magnitudes stronger, he’s already so different in terms of personality. Much more detached and cold. What’ll be left at the end? What’s that Joohee holding onto at the end of the episode?? |

| was fun to see some of the charas from older episodes, and many of them wanted to apologise to mc for leaving in the other episode, tho i'm sure their decision wasn't wrong the father wanting the 3 bad guys to die was also not wrong i guess the assassin wanting to kill everyone else ( and not just the 3), and specially, for making them suffer as much as possible... he really was a piece of shit huh lol i thought mc was gonna beat him earlier, but he let the older guy fight first, it was also a nice effort from him and the healer girl after the old guy lost tho, mc stepped in and system forced him to kill, was an interesting action scene lastly, was nice of the older guy to cover for mc, since he knows mc wants to keep his strengh hidden but that doesn't change the fact that anyone else can notice how much different and more confident he is now compared to before his revival lol |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| This finished sooner than I thought it would, though it was really good. |
| Episode 11 is going to make Solo Leveling readers berserk. Can’t wait for that singular word. |
| Nice fighto! Keep going! |
| "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." |
| Im starting to really like this show. MC beeing aware of becoming a colder person by getting stronger is interesting. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Great episode, great fight again! In a different Dongeon, with the people from episode 1. Nice to see Joohee is there too. And that Tae-Shik with the prisoners, he's a bit of a clichéd antagonist but that was kind of clear beforehand. Well, Jin-Wo defeats him in an epic fight and becomes stronger again. Even though the two seemed equally strong at first, Jin-Wo became again on a different level during the kill quest. He's also becoming more of a monster himself. And nice to see that he can still hide his true strength, I really like that. |
