Solo Leveling 2x8

AHHHHH I LOVE THIS ANIME

Comments

One of the coolest fight i've seen in a while

Minidiamant

I love how they had very little monologue and only low music in the most intense leg of the fight. It made it feel all the more raw and satisfying to watch.

Haven't read the source material. But I'm still pretty convinced some cosmic entity is gobbling up realities and using the fallen as its foot soldiers to invade new worlds via the "gates." As I see it, the demons unified to fight something tremendously powerful (echoing what Dad Wu said about a greater threat coming.) But the demons got wiped out and woke up in the tower gate. I'm assuming they can't remember losing because the defeat was too sudden and overwhelming. I still can't figure out exactly where the MC fits in all this. But my running theory is that another entity has coopted some of the "monsters" to train a countermeasure against the reality devourer. At the very least, I agree the system is training him for a specific purpose. I don't think Jin Wu is supposed to be a threat to humanity. Because that seem overly convoluted when the "Gate Lord" entity or whatever can already field monsters that require entire squads of S-ranks. And supposedly, this is just the beginning of the apocalypse.

I'm pretty sure it's not a spoiler to say Jin isn't all that great at reading woman right now despite the attention he gets. Later on though 😏...

GrimPitbull

Tbh, the "showsplainers" are getting pretty obnoxious for this show and I say that as one that have read the source material.

Erik Nilsson

ngl it did take me a second to make the connection because the lighting in the opening makes it look like she has blue skin

Killian_Jones_Hook

That’s a good point. But like I said in my OP, fantasy always has sub types. I do agree with your premise. I tend to think that’s a bit into the weeds. Same thing can be said about drakes too!

Cashryn Sins

I keep saying this every time someone brings this up, but all of those are dragons, they're just subtypes. Wyverns are the most commonly debated, so we'll take them as an example, all wyverns are dragons, not all dragons are wyverns.

Goobert

Ah yes. A shadow lord. Hm. Interesting concept.

Michael

Damn I remember that now

Karatsuki

Technically every voice over is a Dub

Karatsuki

Esil threw the double sided sword thingy but it did nothing except distract Baran for that 1 second Jin Woo needed

Karatsuki

Did she miss the elf in the opening even after skipping to almost that exact moment?

Karatsuki

Honestly I would love to see your reaction to the at least one episode of the English dub version. It’s goes so hard. The VA name is Aleks Le and his performance is God Tier

Billy Morrow

our boi drip woo hit em with dat sweet chin music

I know Alicia won't read this. but for those you do care to learn about dragons here you go! There are a couple types: Dragons, Wyvern, Basilisks, Wyrms, Drakes, Hydras, and Coatyls. Now there are others, but those tend to be more unique such as the asian dragon or the arctic dragon. The way to tell them apart is by the amount of appendages they have. A dragon will not only have wings, but 4 legs. 2 front and 2 hind. where as a Coatyl has only wings and looks more serpent than dragon. But then you have Wyverns who's arms are usually melded with their wings, or their wings are a part of their arms. (i've seen both). Then you have Basilisks which have no wings. Like Drakes. But I have seen some drakes with wings, but cannot fly kinda like chickens. There are always exceptions, but i find this to be the quickest way to know the difference. you'll at least be about 80% correct. xD

Was not expecting the fuck'n Nameless King to show up in Solo Leveling. Also that artstyle change for the uppercut was so sick!

Damion Thrakos

I wouldn’t call her down bad for wanting to join him she just wanted to feel useful similar to Jinho (little brother)

Prince of the Saiyans

Jinwoo feels mor like a Monarch the Lord

Joseph Zen-aku Kaga

No, he said he used the Ruller's Hand - the ability to remotely use a weapon he acquired form the first key dungeon. So he just grabbed the spear and used it to kill the boss.

HubertNNN

Impressive of Jinwoo to beat the Nameless King fight on his first try. Took me like 20.

Derek Sanchack

At least he wont go to jail. I hope lol

james blaire

Also alicia calls demon girl down bad but also alicia every other time jinwoo strikes a pose 🤣

Lunatic44

Correct me if im wrong guys but that spear she threw at the end did it draw agro from baran cus hes eyes were red like how iron did it last time. If so it means she was actually useful in the end (nevermind i rewatched it and realised hes eyes were always red like that im blind!)

Lunatic44

well as it is getting animated in japan, I think that wont happen but let see

Sage of All knowing

So, this is demon route time?

Sweyn Nelson

anime is usually still dubbed tho' even in japanese since the animation is finished first before most other things - hence why they mostly use lip-flaps over distinct mouth-movements

Yagi di Hoshi

Thing is, while the Manwha is Korean, it is japan that made the Anime.. So, it is not japanese dubbed as it was made in japan :P

Hallreaver

asking your pal vern why he did a thing whyvern

Lance Ivy

I love Esil so much man

Mel

Best Girl has arrived!

Doxin

Shit got me with that final uppercut. I haven't been this hyped in a while

TheTrueScientist

In the manwha English translation he kept calling the demon girls family "Radish" lmao

Middyrose

I have no idea what will happen next, but given the history between Korea and Japan, I'm guessing those 10 S rankers are all dying brutally

Edward French

Demon King Baran, the Monarch of White Flames! Absolute peak is best girl Esil tho. We're still speedrunning everything, but it makes for peak cinema, ngl.

Mempedede

Wow, his Rizz keeps leveling.

Christopher W Carlisle

There is some prescient that could lead credence to the whole "this is just a game theory. That being Sword Art Online: Alicization, wherein, the NPC's are essentially so advanced that they are sapient AI but, have to adhere to rules of the system, and will experience discomfort, pain, blindness, or even possibly death if they break those rules.

Virtuous_Wanderer

I think just a tiny bit but, it was so insignificant that it really doesn't matter. (literally like a couple panels, and a text box or tow at most right after Esil joins the the team)

Virtuous_Wanderer

Just like Alicia, they would get along

Emperor Moist

They cooked so hard for this episode. Peak animation for sure. Esil isn’t the most serious character but she’s a fun addition :) and the plot be plottin!

Rainet

thirsting for Dripwoo in the first 8 seconds, new record xD The last 20 seconds of the fight imho are some of the coolest animation in this anime so far.

James T Williams

burn bitches burn

dragon emperor ry

I love how Sung Jin-woo is consistently terrible at names.

The Turtle Bear

It seems like they’ve already changed their introduction a little from the original webnovel.

Egregore

No sister leveling this time... ;D

DanielTheHamster

Ahh yes, another episode of Alicia gets leveled. This one ought to be fun! 😆

Yolo Samurai

Love your in-depth commentary: Aaaaaargh!!! 🤪😂❤️❤️🔥

Toasted Toad

I'm curious how they'll handle the japanese hunters, if they'll tweak them a bit or not haha

Azel !!

Alicia The Chimera Ant Arc is starting.

neil

They didn't skip anything in the tower.(That I can think of) He really does just fly through it.

Okoga

I have a theory and since my last one about the eternal sleep sickness was right, I hope this one is right too. We see that the stronger monsters have their own agency, enough so that they can give away to much info. So what I think is happening, the demons, gates and monster stuff is real and not a “video game” or a simulation, but some super powerful force that is orchestrating and training jinwoo to do something. What really tips me off to this is that if this was all a simulation how can so many monsters try and break the rules ? If they are coded to never break these rules they would never get close to doing so. So I think some force or forces are plucking these guys out of the demon realm tweaking their memory and putting hard limits when they approach a subject they don’t want jinwoo to figure out yet. Tbh I kinda find it boring is all this was just to train jinwoo and everything is just a simulation , and find it way cooler if all this is going on and jinwoo is chosen and a super powered force with a ton of control is leading jinwoo down a certain path via the system, which looks like that because that’s what jinwoo would be most adept at understanding, What are yalls thoughts?

Big Fuze

Yay
