| Shun really had to step up this episode to take on this Orc Army. It wasn't even about winning or losing the fight but about surviving. What an episode though! They made this feel like a movie and gave that feeling of despair. That Ogre mage leader was no pushover. Shun has come a long way since being first introduced. |

| I mean, the hype was there since the end of last week already, but once that staff list dropped, the hype was just brought up by tenfold. So, let's see if it lives up to the hype. Picking up right where we left off on, Haein is about to pull up to the gate... with her weapon of choice being a pickaxe, great, and Jinwoo and the others facing off against those orc things or whatever. To which, the group leaders gets his shit ROCKED by the main dude orc with ease. But thankfully, Jinwoo saves bro... and hits him with that "ARISE"... shit's about to go down when you hear that, and you know it. Jinchul also pulls up to investigate the crimes scene, and yeah, as expected, that gate is FUCKING DANGEROUS. So yeah, bro goes in immediately... although, when we switch back to Jinwoo, it looks like he has this pretty much handled. Handled so much to the fact where he does the most DISRESPECTFUL shit ever and takes bros own soldiers and turns them into his OWN LMAOOOO. Fuck me though, talking about the animation for a second, the camera movements this episode are genuinely fucking MAD. And yeah, playtime was over because Jinwoo finally stepped in himself to put the finishing blow on this big ass dude, and FUCK HIM UPPPPPPPP. And yeah, ANIMATION WENT FUCKING BONKERSSSSSSSSSSS. Dude got jumped, and that was that. Jinwoo does the usual, arise's bro, and with that, it's over... It's so over for Jinwoo that is because he looks back to see that Haein AND Jinchul were spectating the whole ordeal... xD Fucking insane episode, not the best Solo Leveling episode, but it's up there in the top three for SURE. Kikuchi SB is unmatched. This season just keeps on getting better, and next episode will be no different. |

| Yeah, this is such a tailor made event for Jin woo to show who he is lol. I remember liking this part back then. I mean in addition to Jeju island part in the first season of the manhwa, this was one such sequence where Jin woo went all out, without holding back much. Pikachu faces all around, because of course, I mean he was just an equipment carrier for them… much worse, an E rank, so seeing the entire shadow army and such, plus Jin woo with all sorts of acrobatics taking down an entire army, who would’ve flatted an entire bunch of A-rank hunters, with ease, would get anyone dumbfounded. Animation looked the best this episode, I guess the staff really knew what they were doing, and the stakes this episode had. Bad guy who looked like Doctor Doom really had no chance whatsoever lol. I kinda feel bad for him… REALLY. I mean with so many people in attendance… like Cha Hae-in and Woo Jin-chul, there was absolutely no way Jin woo would’ve not looked like someone with unlimited aura. The secret is out, and yeah, too bad Cha Hae-in couldn’t sniff Jinwoo one more time:( A-1 knocked this out of park, with the fighting scenes. Now the world will know or more like already has started to come to know about Jinwoo. Unmatched aura xD |

| PEEAAKKK ANIMATION |
| Sawano and A-1 you saved my worthless broke ass life. Don’t talk to me about no fucking MAPPA or Ufotable. These are the goats. Pure spectacle for fans to enjoy today, jaw still is on the floor. I should’ve known the orcs weren’t gonna have shit constructive to say. My dumbass came into the ep thinking they were gonna talk about whatever impending calamity is coming, and the orc chief only knows one thing, killing humans. He did bring up an interesting point about how when he spawned that was the only thing “programmed” in him… but who made these dungeons and by extension the orcs/magic beasts.. they talk as if there’s a game maker of sorts out there and that would be in line with Jinwoo being called a “player”. That was pretty much it for any semblance of story or worldbuilding this episode tho. The rest was clearly a reward for the slower last couple of episodes, pure Sakuga for fans to mouth water over. The staff LOVE Igris man his scenes are always insane. That decapitation animation with the continuous camera shot jeeeez. Chills. Jinwoo vs the orc leader with shadowborn in the background.. *licks fingers* immaculate. This was perfect. ANDDD we got Cha Hae-in crumbs. Still not enough but it’s a start lol. Still waiting on seeing Jinwoo pops again.. great episode tho |

| Damn I need more.... Funny how jinwoo just saw this as another boss fight, and didn't really panic. Funny as shit when he said he didn't like giants xD The PTSD was real haha |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| another best episode , peak animation ! |
 |
| This episode definitely lived up to the hype. Great action and animation all around, it's always a treat to see Jinwoo go all out. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| A-1 really brought this part to life. |
| Peak Leveling episode. I should say. A really good episode. Obviously a major one. So, I'm not surprised by the priority this episode was given. But, it was epic and very enjoyable. |
 |
| That was hype and he got Tusk. Cha Hae-In's so cute blushing. Don't worry girl. |
 |
| Barely finished the episode in an hour with all the servers crashing but this was epic |
| It's just insane quality. |
 |
| Insanely good episode. I need more! |
 |
| This entire episode was quite funny to me with how predictable everything went down, especially with the major "fight" itself. Shouldn't even be slightly a secret at this point with the system rigging everything for Jinwoo. Because of this, despite all the animation endeavors by Kanno and the rest of the staff, I couldn't feel even the slightest bit of exhilaration or tension whatsoever. It's mere graffiti on the walls at that point and "rule of cool" can only go so far. I actually laughed really heard when Jinwoo pulled out the MP replenishing potion. |

| This might be a top 2 or 3 contender for the best Solo Leveling episode yet for me, truly a feast for the eyes for animation lovers lol. Anyways Cha Hae-In being in the episode, 10/10 |
| Excellent episode.Cha Hae-in was funny with the pickaxe. Jin-woo single handedly saved the entire strike squad.Also he gained numerous Orc Shadows and we have Tusk in our team too. Cha Hae-in wanted to talk to Jin-woo but she couldn't,maybe next time.She has definitely fallen in love with Jin-woo.Both Cha Hae-in and Woo Jin chul have witnessed the powers of Jin-woo.Now is the time for Jin-woo to be declared as the S Rank Hunter publicly. The animation and soundtrack was top notch this episode.Eagerly waiting for the next one. |
 |
| Another fucking banger. But the only thing I disliked was the soldiers fighting in the background. It felt like CGI movement. |
 |
| The episode was absolutely wild. The animation is so freaking good. It's hard to praise it because of how high it is lol. The wait was worth it. The dungeon boss said more cryptic things about some sort of superior power. I wonder what exactly is controlling the monsters and if they're even sentient. I wanna know what their goals and motivations are and how powerful they really are. Another one added to the collection. Now, more people know who Sung Jinwoo really is. I hope Jinwoo joins his little brother's guild. That'd probably shake things up a lot. Wonder who that guy at the end was. |
