¶ Exploring Solo Leveling Worlds and Characters"
all right , what's good everybody . This is koko gatsu back with another episode here at the zone podcast , and we got a little bit of a difference here today . We got me fantasy club president koko gatsu being joined with our friendly neighborhood admin talos gundam , as well as also professor tuck . Level infinity .
I'm gonna let him go on to that , but , without further ado , we're gonna go ahead and talk about this awesome anime that hit everyone by storm who was not aware of it . We'll put it in that aspect there , solo leveling . In fact , this anime was so big that talos has specifically told us every single time a new episode dropped .
He said don't contact him , leave him alone , let him enjoy this show as it came on . So , without further ado , we're gonna follow on to his lead , talos . Go ahead and get us started , my man so , first and foremost , what's goody ?
what ? What's up with the world ? Um , where have you been ? Because some of y'all seem like y'all under a rock . If y'all have not been on solo leveling , I promise you you are missing all the way out . You are missing out on so much goodness , so much goodness . So where do I begin ? Because I don't want people to Misconscrew what I'm about to tell you .
There are three Different worlds for this . Correction , there are four Different worlds For this . There's the light novel , there's the . There's the light novel , there's the Manhwa itself , there's the anime . And I want y'all , and I want y'all to know something . The fourth that a lot of people don't really realize there is an Actual . What is it ?
There's an actual manga , not just a manhwa . There's a manga . The light novel tells a different story . It all falls within the same category , but the light novel tells a different story from the manhwa and the manga .
Is it just from a different perspective ?
There are certain things , there are other stuff that was added into it A lot of times , especially from what you get the chance to see , especially in the anime . The anime will pull from the light novel a lot of times too . It doesn't just pull from the manhwa , it pulls a lot from the light novel a lot of times too .
It doesn't just pull from the manhwa , it pulls a lot from the light novel .
I didn't know that .
Okay . So let me begin by saying this this anime . If you have not watched it , go watch it . Go watch it , by all means . Go watch it . Go watch it , by all means , go watch it . If this is your first time , I would rather you read first and then watch , but if you are not big on reading , go watch it .
Go watch that first season , cause you're about to be spoiled . Oh man , it's so good , it really is . Go watch that first season , cause you're about to be spoiled .
Oh man , it's so good .
It really is Alright . So enough sugar coat , let me get down to it . First things first . We have a character . His name is Son Janu . He's the main . He's Billy Badass . Now won't you understand me when I say this . When they ask you who's Billy , he , he's Billy , he , he , he's Billy . He'll walk the dog on your favorite character . Don't get me wrong .
Right now it's gonna it's gonna seem like no , the fuck , he can't this , this , this is not legit . He can't do this . Oh oh , you give him time . He can't do this . Oh oh , you give him time . He can't .
Uh , so he's an e-rank because in their world they go , they have a power scaling system that goes from e all the way up to s , or at least it's known as s . There are double s's , there are triple s's in and above S's .
The triple S's are actually what they call nation ranked , but at least within the public eye and most known , they are just E through S . He is an E rank , the lowest of low . I want y'all to know this man when he first starts out , relatively can't hurt a fly it was given . Naruto .
No , this was worse than Naruto , because he the lowest rank of mankind , or something like that this was worse than Naruto , because he when I say the lowest rank of mankind or something like that , he was the weakest of all . That's crazy , that's a crazy name .
He was the weakest of all . I want you to know something . I want you to know something . It hurts me to my heart . When they even said that Cause , I was like my boy was getting hurt from the slime . Yeah , not no , rimaru Tempest neither , and this is no joke .
He was getting hurt from like Weak stuff that most people Can knock over with like just a slap . He was getting hurt from that level of stuff , so can knock over with like just a slap .
He was getting hurt from that level of stuff so , as tuck normally does here with the timeline , we come to know of sungjin woo when he literally and when I literally , he's literally going into a dungeon , like we don't get to catch him outside of it . Typically I'm talking about like chilling . No , he's getting ready to go into a dungeon . He's with a team .
They're getting ready to go into a dungeon . They think this dungeon is pretty low level . What they do not realize is that this is a double dungeon , because , matter of fact , nope , before I skip too far ahead , let me explain what a double dungeon is . Double dungeons are your dungeons that house high-ranked monsters , but they're hidden .
High-ranked monsters , but they're hidden . Why are they hidden , you ask ? Because when you first see the first appearance , you'll see a boss and everything and you'll think the dungeon is going to close . But that's not the actual boss of the dungeon , because there's another part of the dungeon that's hidden . It's hidden away . That's the high-ranked part .
Most double dungeons Are kind of they're typically easy to spot , but this one was not , because typically you can spot a Double dungeon and know what kind of Level it's going to take take . So most people know , and especially when you're going into what is known as a e-rank uh dungeon oh , they thought it was going to be easy .
So the highest that the second part of the dungeon should have been would have been like maybe just at low c , low c tier , maybe just regularly like high d tier . So they could handle that because they had at least a b-rank killer . By the way , this b-rank killer , I hate her .
I hate her already . I'm just letting you know that , so Hold on .
You hate her .
I like her . She's kind of cute .
I don't care how cute you may be , if you can't function and do what we need you to do , I don't need you there .
So this B rank healer , whose name is Lee Juhi she Is a good healer , however , whose name is Lee Juhi ? She Is a good healer . However , kama , she's scary . She's been traumatized . We're going to put it like that she's been traumatized . She literally is that one healer . That's like I've seen things Redo a healer and flinches .
Almost .
Not even redo a healer .
He still did what he had to do . He was forced to . He still did what he had to do . Now she Would freak out .
She'd freak out . So she was like that girl in the beginning of um , of um . Godly , I can't even think right now . Goblin Slayer , episode 1 , first 8 minutes yeah .
I'm going to say yes , but only in the aspect of . So that's the only episode that I actually watched with goblin slam and , be honest with you , it's not that I didn't want to watch the rest of it . Stuff just kept coming up and I wanted to move to the back of my mind .
But in that aspect I will say this the trauma that wound up hitting her at that point was different , because remember they raped the girl right there in front . That that's a whole different type of trauma situation that's going to freeze you up , like right then and there , especially like she was a young girl , so like that's not something .
That's a whole different type of thing . Now , if you have been in battles , you've seen people get hurt dramatically , like you've seen people's guts get cut open and you know you have the power to reverse that type of thing . And she's been in I can't remember she's been in multiple dungeons . She's been in dungeons with June multiple times .
She's healed him on the brink of death multiple times . But right now you got to freeze up . You have seen death in people and now you got to freeze up . You have seen death in people and now you freeze up basically .
So like legit , she , she , she's , she's uh , how we're gonna put it she , she's , she's very unreliable when it comes to healing , like she's great , don't get me wrong , but she , she's very unreliable when it comes to healing . Like she's great , don't get me wrong , but she's very unreliable when it comes to big time boss monsters .
So , and mind you now where I am , if y'all are trying to figure out , we're still within the first two , first two to three episodes . Like I , I'm not even , we're not even in the double dungeon yet Now .
¶ Terrifying Dungeon Encounter With Deadly Statues
However , they had , I'll tell you right now , they had an opportunity to leave . They had a whole opportunity to leave . We wouldn't have had a story if they just chose let's get out of here right now . They got foolish and they walked into this room . Oh , oh , oh . You know that old saying when is your God ?
As a matter of fact , for those of you that have watched SAO Abridged , where Kirito says now , maybe you're wondering where your god is . You don't have to wonder anymore , because he's right here and he's fresh out of the emergency . That is the level of fuck around and find out that they here , because when they walked in there , those doors closed .
They thought oh wait , I am good , I am great . This is no problem , because it's just a bunch of statues . What are they doing ? Statues aren't moving , okay , okay . Sun Jin Wu had the intense , intense urge to be like . You know what ? I think we need to move .
And , sure enough , as he moved lasers from the big statue all one person down , they starting to panic . What do we do ? What do we do ?
that whole thing was kind of like scary at that moment I'm not gonna lie in a little retrospect when you weren't expecting , because as long as you knew something was gonna happen . Because keep in mind , like I watched the anime before I went and read the um the lion webtoon and the monwa and stuff .
This is before that , so understand for me , it was fresh for me on , like the first couple episodes that was kind of like it threw me off for a moment because you were just like oh yo , we need to dodge . And he even said it .
Like you know , I don't know if it was weathered , because I've been close to the brink of death so many times and I've been in multiple fights and my body just instinctively knows that there's danger , but something told me we need to get the fuck out of dodge , bro , like this is about to get bad , let's , let's look , look , I'm gonna you something .
As a person who plays MMOs , I looked at that and was like nah , bruh , I know , I know when trouble's coming . This is true . I knew it was going to be bad For me , even because , even though I read it first when I saw it and I saw how they played it out once again , a this is coming from a person who plays mmos .
There is no way , no way in hell . If I know my rank is low , hey , talos , you want to go ? No , talos is not why that right , there is death .
We are under level what do you mean if I know my rank is low in the E dungeon and then they say , oh , it's another dungeon . I'm going to be like , nah , I'm good , y'all , I'm going to be right here until y'all get back .
I'm good , love , enjoy . I'm going to be right here until y'all get back , y'all already defeated the boat . I want to keep . I want to keep this flow going . So right , one dude says no , we can leave , I'm just going to go , I'm going to head to the doors . Bad mistake .
The moment he got there and touched that door they realized them statues ain't still Uh huh . Yeah , I'm talking about Completely decimated him . For those of you that got little kids , I would not let little kids watch this right now at their age .
If you're trying at least not to get them into gore and stuff , don't let them Because , yeah , that right , there was ugly , it was brutal , all right . So now , now we're getting up into more episodes . Hey , look , there's a tablet on a statue and the statue says pray to God , you know , basically worshiping . Alright , one person thinks to worship .
Well , first off , it was kneel before God . They kneeled . That stopped the lasers , but it made the big statue get up , the one that was sitting on the lasers , but it made the big statue get up , the one that was sitting on the throne and he started walking towards them , going to crush them . Next thing said Pray to God . Basically , worship him .
You know , one person thought that he was doing the right thing . This deity did not answer to the prayers of a regular God . No Hindu Buddha Christian prayer was going to help . He got squashed .
Everybody panicked so bad . Everybody was like oh , hell .
No , they panicked so bad so , when they were saying , offer praise , hey , guess what ? They all ran towards statues . However , they came to realize right then hey , you cannot run towards a statue With a weapon . Them statues will kill you , cause that also fucked them up . They had to run towards a statue with a weapon .
Them statues will kill you , cause that also fucked them up . They had to run towards the statues that were Gifted in Bringing praise , aka the statues with Instruments .
Can I be honest on this real quick . It seems like we're all D&D players Now , you know . Welcome to the fam . But I have to say June had to have like high-ass perception advantage on the fact that he was the one who noticed that .
He was like wait there are statues that have and I recognize this , since I'm such a veteran D&D player , you know I'm like I'm like a level 1000 wizard .
Says the person . Says the person who almost died In a mock battle , but okay .
I purposely had not released that . After this episode I'm releasing the mock battle .
Like I said , I'm talking about Shoot on like a chicken wing , but I digress , anyway , you know , like legit . So yeah , here we go again . They all got to these statues . Now they got the final one . Offer a sacrifice to God . Now there's an altar . This altar does nothing Right now , because they're all still standing there . However they all go .
People start going to the altar , one by one , by one by one . Flames light up , all right . The door opens , oh , oh , we're great , we're good . Now we can leave One person steps off . The door starts to close again one quick thing that was .
That was important as well onto this , because it didn't make a difference for later on , our man june . It took him a minute to finally get to the final statue because they realized only one person could be under one statue , so that was . The other thing about it is that people had to die , which was even more fucked up . Um , what's the ?
oh , yeah , yeah , people had to die so then , even worse than that was the fact that he finally had made it to the statue , but in making so , he still wound up passing the statue with a weapon and wound up chopping his foot off . So he's also heavily handicapped .
While they're trying to do stuff , because now they have to drag him everywhere , it's important to the story .
So , right , going back to the altar , alright . People start fleeing . Now my boy sungjin woo . He decides hey , I'm gonna sacrifice myself , go save y'all . You know , save yourself and everything else because , mind you , during this time they all want to put blame on the party leader for coming in here .
A lot of people wanted to put blame on the party leader and stuff . Yada , yada , yada . Now you know , sung wasn't like I wasn't finna do that , not finna do this . And Sung knew okay , ain't , no way you gonna make it out with me , somebody has to stay . So son stays and them statues was basically about to kill him .
However , the system kicks in and says hey , you've completed the objective . Would you like to become a player ? He chooses yes and boom , wakes up in the hospital .
It took too damn long to choose .
yes , bro , he's getting beat to death by these guys , Like , basically , you know you're getting beat to death , You're getting beat to death , but nah , he chose . So he wakes up in the hospital . You have people from the government who literally come in . They just want to check and see if he had quote unquote reawakened Facts . It didn't show anything .
He's still registered as an E . They left him alone . Now , mind you , during this time he's still registered as an E . They left him alone . Now , mind you , during this time he's still . He's looking and he can see that he has something completely different Because he now has a hub .
He now has a HUD system , which now , which you know Tuck is very much so familiar with because , as his character plays in my D&D campaign side note you know tuck is very much so familiar with because , as his character plays in my dnd campaign side note , you know they have hud systems so they can see things just like as if it's a video game .
They can see stuff and they're like oh , what is this ? So you know he's , he sees that they have this little daily thing that he has to do and and he's not thinking nothing of it he's relatively not Until it gets late . Once it gets late and he hasn't done it , he hasn't completed it by day's end , he gets teleported to a desert area .
This area is definitely not on his own planet . Why ? Because there are gigantic centipedes , by the way . Whoever did that ? I want you to know to the artist , whoever thought of that part uh , fuck you . I'm gonna say it now loud and proudly fuck you . Why ?
Because , as a gamer , I hate those types of moments where , literally all of a sudden , there is a world within , there's a world within a dungeon that you have that you get dropped into if you're trying to complete a puzzle and you don't get a chance to complete that puzzle correctly , so there's a monster down there .
That's either a you can't kill it , or b if you do kill it , you don't relatively get nothing from it . Ie final fantasy 9 when , uh , the freaking cerberus chases you in one area and you just have to avoid him , because if you don't and you get in a battle with him , he can easily wipe you or you beat him . You don't get nothing from him .
But I digress . So after he survives and is brought back , you know panting almost dead again because like , oh my god , we skip around and we see , hey , when they come back to him in the next episode , this man looks completely different . He looks completely different . Muscles , all Bruh , he looks completely different . So look .
Don't forget , there's this whole solo leveling A bridge , now that they've already done that , they've already started doing , and literally the sister , his sister , is now into him because she thinks he's just like no , you're a whole different person . Mom and dad's gone . You wanna come talk in the room real quick and I'm like .
Look , we're not even gonna get on that .
So yeah , right , come talk in the room real quick and I'm like , look , nope , we're not even going to get on that . So , yeah , right , let me get back to it real quick .
¶ Character Transformation in Dungeons and Fights
Um , like I said , he's basically healing Everything else . As a matter of fact , no , hold on , side note . Side note he hasn't fully changed , changed yet . He's changed a little bit , but he hasn't fully changed . Um , before he goes and completely changes , let's go and kick it to where he goes into his first dungeon alone . He goes into this dungeon .
Now , mind you , he gets a key from one of the daily rewards because he's doing his dailies and everything . You can start to see where he's looking like he's starting to change . He hasn't completely made his change over , but he's starting to change , all right . So he gets this key . This key is for a dungeon that is basically in a subway .
It's basically in a subway , it's basically in a subway area . He goes into said dungeon and once again , the old him is still there . He relatively wants to panic and just be like I can't beat this , but he somehow comes up with the courage and just fights . He fights his way through .
I'm talking about fighting these animals , fighting these dogs , and he's starting to get titles , and in here . Those titles give you abilities . Case in point , one of the titles that he earned allowed him to basically kill any beast . It basically made him stronger against any beast , monster , beast type monster , if you will . So he's literally just like .
I can do this . I can do this now . I got this Because , once again , there's another system that we need to talk about , real quick , too their monster system , their monster system . Their names have colorations to them . If you see a name that's in red , that monster is stronger than you . If it's orange , it's relatively , either on the same .
It's relatively either on the same level or either either a little bit stronger than you , just a little , not much . But if it's I forget what color it was , I think it's gray then that monster is weaker than you .
So , yeah , he was basically beating monsters , and the first monsters that he had come across were these uh hounds , these iron jaw hounds , like and he's like he's fighting them , fighting them , fighting them , fighting them , them to the point where now , as he's going further down , they're no longer a threat to him , like he's just beating the brakes off of them .
I like how they were able to show that too , with the whole coloration of the names , where it was like , if it was red , he absolutely stood no chance . If it was orange , they're like equal level . And then it was like if like equal level .
And then it was like If they're yellow , then he's yeah basically , yeah , I thought it was either Yellow or gray , and that's what I was saying , like , yeah , you know , hey , it was showing it so well , so so well . Now he gets down into the Bottom of that dungeon .
He has a Snake boss to deal with , and it was no , like no Ordinary snake boss to deal with , and it was no ordinary snake boss , you know , it was like one of these big ones . He literally broke his sword on its scales . That's just how tough this snake boss is . What did he do , though ? To beat this snake boss , you ask ?
This man used his full strength and suffocated , basically breaking it's windpipe and spine they did a really great job for that like .
In my perspective , they did a really great job sizing that into the story , cause there's a lot of times where people increase their strength and they just assume that that means that , oh , my weapon attack is much stronger . But it's like no , no , it's your strength . Your weapon did not upgrade . Your weapon is not more durable .
Your weapon is not stronger , nothing like that . You just did your strength . Granted , it does help improve your attack because you're swinging the weapon , but there is a difference in support . I like how he was able to pretty much understood that because you're swinging the weapon , but there is a difference .
I like how he was able to pretty much understood that . He was like you know what ? I increased all my strength , but this weapon isn't really doing what I need it to do . So he unequipped it and was like yeah , let me just use my strength on this .
Boom , we finally got a big difference and he was able to see okay , putting all my stats , putting much of the stats and the strength made a huge difference . I really liked how they were able to explain that and stuff .
So right , he beat the snake monster . Boom , he got one of his first daggers from the snake monster Moving on . Relatively he basically , when he came out of the dungeon , oh , he was a lot strong . Most people didn't relatively , did not ?
Well , the guard that came that was over there did not recognize because while he was in said dungeon there was another dungeon break so they were trying to contain it .
By the way , in dungeons happen throughout the world Monsters can break out of said dungeons if those dungeons are up too long and no one goes in them , or if that monster is just strong enough and can literally break out in an instant . Those are those high level dungeons , but we'll get to those . Those are those high level dungeons , but we'll get to those .
So he literally went and because this uh guard was was like hey , you know , you got , you can't be in this area such and such . And he found out he's a hunter , like oh , you're meant to come over here . And as he was just passing by , he saw that there were D , d and C rank hunters Fighting some C rank Stuff .
They had a B rank healer who y'all already know , and she was already having flashbacks From the double dungeon . So she was no good , no good , like they were gonna die . Sun Jin Wu was like you know what . I can kind of help him from here without getting into any , uh , you know any , limelight .
So what he did was he took the broken sword , cocked it back and I'm talking my major league baseball pitched it right into the Stone Golem's head , cracked his entire defense . He cracked the Stone , golem's entire defense .
Defense that they couldn't even break through , no matter how many attacks they tried doing . They couldn't do nothing . They couldn't do nothing .
The tanks were getting beat . They couldn't one-shot this thing , they were just barely holding it back , at best .
Exactly , and the healers wasn't doing nothing . Tuck , I'm telling you , man you talking about , she looked cute and all that .
No , she just needed to stand there and look pretty , I'm strong .
So here's the thing . I'm sorry , I'm sorry , sorry . I'm gonna tell you like it is . It wasn't . No , she could just stand there and look pretty and she was about to die . So we gonna say it like it is Right , cool , alright . So he basically cracked it and left Now , he basically cracked it and left now .
After that episode , that's when you see the full transformation to the Sung Jin Woo that most people know . Oh , his whole demeanor , his whole outlook or outward appearance was changed . That man was literally . His whole outlook or outward appearance was changed . That man was literally . That man literally had rids and he didn't know it .
I'm going to say it like it is that man literally had rids and he didn't know it .
When the nurses was like oh my goodness .
Can I get your phone number , like what ? But yes , but yes , but yes . So he left the hospital at this point , still doing his dailies . You know the push-ups , the sit-ups , the crunches , the runs . He was still doing all of this .
Now we start to get to where , hey , we start to get to where , hey , he's starting to meet uh , his , his actual teammate , teammate . And he met his teammate , who his name is you , jenho met his teammate and another raid that he joined , this group was looking for somebody to pick up and we're gonna tell you right now , this group was shady .
They were shady as shit . They literally was just trying to get people to pick up so that way they could get them killed .
Now , at first they were going to kidnap Eugene Ho and use him to blackmail his father and to give him the money , but they figured out a better way to do it because , hey , we can let him die in the dungeon and then just say , oh , we don't know what happened , we survived , we couldn't watch their back , you know , because it happens all the time .
¶ Assassin's Defeat, Sung Jin Woo Triumph
But here's where things messed up . They didn't know how strong Sung Joong-Woo was Because , hey , they went into this dungeon and they left them too . I'm talking about barricaded them in and everything they left them too .
They thought the boss of the dungeon which was a giant spider , by the way , very cliche but giant spider they thought that boss was going to kill him . Nah , not likely . Sungjin will beat the living brakes off of this monster .
With no effort . Yoo Jin Ho from that point .
Yoo Jin Ho thought , oh my god , he's a hidden ranker , he's a false ranker , somebody who literally you know . So he was playing on the graces of this man . He was like nah , let me mind this stuff for you , sir . You know , I got you , I got you Nah . So he literally just started doing all the work .
All right , they came back in Mind you I'm only doing this because I want us to have enough time here to tell everything . So they came back in mind you , and I'm only doing this because I want us to have enough time here to tell everything . So they came back in . Sung jin woo was like what up ? They thought , uh , yoo jin ho beat the monster .
So they were like yo , yoo jin ho , you know , like you know they . They started trying to tell the plans and everything else . Like Yu Jin Ho , look , go ahead and kill the E-Rank , like we got you . You know what I'm saying . Go ahead and kill the E-Rank , join us and everything else . Alright , the system didn't take kindly to that .
The system literally told Sung Jin Woo yo , you got a brand new mission Right here , right now . Them fuckers and I'm gonna put it to y'all in my turn them fuckers . They could say they wanna kill you . Kills them , if you don't , you'll die .
Yeah , it's the whole thing too , you're like oh yeah , they were going to kill you , so I'm going to kill you if you don't kill them . So you're going to have to figure this out .
So basically , su Gen Wu literally was like fuck it , you know what ? Alright , in my terminology , I'd be a red player for the day . Wipe them all off the map . Now , mind you , the leader of this group , the Tank , His brother is an S rank hunter , but his brother left . His brother left Korea and went to the US .
So His brother didn't know what was going on and I might just give it a little bit at the end , like his brother felt , like , you know , felt sadness in himself , like oh , something has happened to my brother , or whatever .
But continuing on from then on , yu jin Ho and Sung Jin Woo you could see them hanging out together , like that man was like Yo , I want you on my team , like let's knock these dungeons out , etc , etc . They were Doing the damn thing .
One key major factor here to notice , to note Right within this section here coming up , is that sungjin woo had another , another major fight here , because we're going to go , we're going to go through I'm gonna skip some point , but we're going to go through here here , another major fight with an assassin . This assassin thought he was billy .
Badass , don't getass , don't get me wrong . Before Sung Jin Woo got what he got , he was Billy . He was Billy to a degree . We ain't finna say he wasn't . He was Billy to a degree . However , the assassin was hired to do a job . That job was to kill three prisoners , because these prisoners killed this man's child .
Yeah , this man's child yeah , his client's child his daughter so the assassin did his job too well . He killed the three prisoners and he killed two other people that was in on the mission that was only because they wound up being in the wrong place at the wrong time .
They saw him with the dead bodies and they was like yo , what are you up to ? And he's like , damn , there was supposed to be no witnesses . Oh right , there's supposed to be no witnesses , and yeah , that's that part .
So from there on he decided he was going to try to kill everybody and just walk out the dungeon by himself . First mistake you went at the healer , because guess who was the healer there ? You guessed it Lee Joo Hee . There was also another person . There was also another person in there with them as well . His name was Song Chi Yu .
Song Chi Yu was the leader of the double dungeon that failed . This was basically a redemption card . The other two guys that got killed Were also in the double dungeon . But they blamed Sung Chul at the time .
Hmm , yeah , they were True , but hey , first mistake of the assassin you went at the healer Nope , yeah , they were True , but hey , first mistake of the assassin you went at the healer Nope , sun Jin Woo stopped that shit . Like yo , what you doing ? I know you didn't just reach over here Like you thought shit was sweet . Alright Now .
First off , the assassin went at Sung Chi Yu , at Sung Chi-yul right Now . Sung Chi-yul . He's a mixed up case in which this is something that I don't like about this world .
Like you know , hey , they're giving gifts , but their gifts don't always match up with what they actually can do , because his gift was he was given magic , his skill set , basically said he's supposed to be strong in magic . However , he's a martial arts teacher , so he's more physical , so basically , it made him a magic sorcerer .
And , honestly , because that did better .
With that , though and that's one of the ones that you can say based on the writing or even just the character itself into the fact that , if I have martial arts , that I've been giving the gift of magic , obviously I'm still going to be using my martial arts skills , but I'm going to be building up my magic too combining had a hell of a time .
He could have been like Ines , you know shit . Like Ines has like a magic form . Ines has a magic form , he has a physical form where he excels in either one , and like how he chooses to fight , he has , he had options and as old as he is and as many people that he's trained , it kind of was a really like drop ball .
On the fact that he just literally let one side go . Yes , because at this point , yeah , he lost an arm . Well , guess what that means ? My physical is not gonna be as strong , but that doesn't stop your magic , bro . Like , come on , man , you had . You have abilities .
I can see what you mean on that , because it's like you really dropped the ball into that and you're a teacher , you should know this .
Just come on , man so , yeah , you know , it literally was just hey , this , this was a just . I mean this and this . To me , this is where the writing was like you know , hey , this was a drop ball moment . This was , this was like there was stuff you could have did better for this , but I digress , right .
So them two were fighting , them two were fighting and the assassin was basically about to win . Sung Jin Woo steps in . Hey , y'all know how this goes they fight , they fight , they fight . Assassin gets a little cocky , but then Sung Jin Woo knocks him back and he's like yo , you're not normal . So the assassin basically goes and uses his move stealth .
He's like I got him , I got him , I can win this . Sung Jin-woo makes this man fear God , devil and every piece of dirt that was in there , because when this man literally went to go and look at him and go to strike him , the move that Sungjinwoo used hey , no , he showed him I'm death , you about to fear everything .
That man stopped in his tracks like what the fuck ? And died right there because Sungjin will kill them . Like there was nothing he could do as he was dying . That man even said you're not human .
You are definitely not human . That murderous intent is like a real , real attack . So like like even back in pokemon you'd be like , oh , like death , stare , like , like what is it ? Death , glare or something like that , and it freezes your opponent in place and stuff and it makes them like not be able to like to lose a turn and stuff like that .
That makes it . It makes a big deal . You use those strategies right and some like he did a great job in the fact that he was able to learn that pretty quickly . He was able to like okay , I know what this attack does . It scares my opponent , they freeze in place , giving me an attack of opportunity . So it's like really good job on that one .
He's getting stronger , but he's also mentally increasing himself as well .
I'm totally getting and digging all the D&D references because these opportunities , you know what ?
I mean , d&d is really just an RPG . It's its own MMO in itself .
So , right , here's another thing . Here's another thing Moving on right . So Sung basically deals with everything , like he . Basically , I'm going to tell y'all now how this goes . They didn't show it in the anime . However , if you read in the manga , what happened before they walked ?
Well , what happened before Sungjin walked out , one of the killers was still alive . He took him to the boss's room where it was like a bunch of goblins . He let them goblins kill the killer , kill one of the criminals actually the prisoners and then he ended the boss .
So , yeah , that should let you know already what kind of what kind of level this man is on . So after that , after that one key , one keynote , real quick one keynote , um , he basically went and knew that there was going to be kind of some trouble . Uh , government officials came what ?
The same one in particular that had talked to one of the same ones in particular had talked to him before because , by the way , the assassin was the other government official that was there in the room that , when they tested them again , um , the other government official that was there in the room when they tested him again , the other government official came and
this government official was like , who did it ? Who killed . And so his teacher , which is Song well , song , basically , was like no , I did it , I killed him . Look , I have a B-rank killer with me . You think I wasn't going to win . You know , make Making up a lie .
This man's whole thing was kept secret , so government believed it , went on about their way , even though they were still suspicious as hell . At this point here , lee , who is our healer , she quits , she retires . She told Sungjin Woo hey , look , after seeing you do what you do , I'm done . This is not life for me , I'm going home .
I'm going home .
I was just saying it took a minute . It took a minute like you were scarred at some point ptsd should have been kicked in and I was like hey , look , look , look , you should go home . Like I know you're trying your hardest , you're trying to be great , but this ain't your story .
Go home . She didn't necessarily need it either . Like she could have picked up any other job . Seeing like her family wasn't like struggling like Dune's family was Dune's family's
¶ Guild Building Negotiation and Dungeons
struggling . He has to do this Like that's not an option . His sister is still in school . He has to keep paying for . He's paying for his sister to be in school . He's paying for his mom's healing and shit . Like he has to do this . She ain't need none of that . She ain't need none of it whatsoever .
As soon as that PTSD kicked in , you're like you know what my family is ? Well off , I'm gone . I'm pretty well off . I don't need to be doing this .
Like , yeah , I'm gone , I'm gone , but you know , once again , like I said , I want to condense everything .
So here we go , moving forward relatively kind of quickly , um , after this him and quote , unquote , his sidekick , cause that's literally what they consider , this man , they can they consider Eugene , who his sidekick , basically , at this point , um , they start doing dungeons .
Dungeons uh , this does not go unnoticed from other people because literally , what you have to do is , in order to do a dungeon , you have to have at least a team , and that team has to at least consist of I believe it was , uh , four to eight people . Yeah , yeah .
So what they did was they hired people just to sit around and be lazy , sit around and be lazy while him and him and Eugene , who basically went in the dungeon and they wiped out dungeons , like , like you , you got to literally know All right , this man is beyond strong for it to only take two people to wipe out a dungeon Two .
Oh , keep in mind , they were starting to take bets on how long it was going to take . I think the time that it wound up being was like two minutes . It was like we went in , came out quick , it's alright time to move on to the next dungeon , like already . And then they saw the dungeon close and they were like yo what ?
And they were getting paid in the millions . By the way , y'all they were getting paid in the millions A piece , not together as a group Millions a piece . So you know this is wild .
Easiest moment of life , bro .
I already took care of it , kept my mouth shut forever .
So another key point here you can't get the shit out of me During this time , right During this time , before I leave , and goes this next key point the shit out of me During this time , right During this time , before I leave , and go to this next key point during this time , we had an individual from another guild like yo , I want to hire you , come ,
whatever you got , we'll pay you whatever what's-her-name is paying you double . And so I'm going to tell y'all now , at this current point um , in the anime , it's , I believe , they say it a little bit differently , but in the uh manhwa and light novel , he basically told him so basically , you're gonna give me your guild building .
He's like huh , yeah , that's what he offered me . I'm , I'm , I basically Own the guild building . You have to give me your guild Building in order for me to switch and come over there to y'all .
I have to be able to run your guild , like and he asked the dude , like you know , he used his ability on old buddy Because he wanted to know , like , who knows my information out here in these streets , and why are you ? You know ? And once again it was just hey , you know , simple shit , folks , just being nosy because you're making waves .
When you make waves like that and you're soloing dungeons almost by yourself , basically because that's really what he was doing , walt's name was just there for like , hey , I'm just gathering shit , I'm not going to fight nothing , I'm just gathering .
Now moving forward something I did want to mention as well too , because keep in mind the fact that he also has an item system which is foreign to everybody else . Like people are able to buy weapons and stuff , but he's able to like access his own personal store , so he's able to like buy potions and shit .
And I like how he did it , where he cut the dude , he scratched him and then was like eh , and then after he's like , okay , I trust you . Now they gave him a potion and told him to drink dude drunk and he's like Holy shit , wait , I'm healed . He said what the hell was that ?
I'm so confused . Yeah , basically he was healed . So he was like Yo , what the hell ? So I kid you not right .

Understand me huh , what's up ? If I can mention only one thing , is that I was very upset . So , right before that whole egress battle even happened , before the beginning of that battle even started , like the episode prior , they've got a license to make the solo leveling video game , which is still coming out . It's still not out yet .
It's still on pre-order for beta , um , for beta access . Literally ruined and spoiled that entire segment in the fucking like ad for the video game . Like , literally spoiled that entire thing .
So I was so because I know the um the I think it's the mobile one .
The mobile is out now .
By the way which I am playing on mobile . I am playing the mobile as we speak , right here , right now . I am playing the mobile . Why , you ask ? Because ? Because it's glorious . It is definitely glorious .
Well , yeah , that was . The only thing that made me mad was the fact that that whole ad spoiled it completely for me . I was in this all of a sudden arise and just talked about it . I'm like what's this OK ? Well , this seems pretty interesting , but I don't think we got that far in the story yet . Next episode drops .

And , believe me , I want you to understand why this conversation is going this way . Because Egress laid them hands on that man . That was abuse .
And when I tell you , the manga , the manhwa and the light novels don't do that fight . Well , they no longer do that fight . Justice , we thought it was justice in this , in this , in the , in light novels and stuff . No , the anime did this justice .

¶ Exciting Discussion About Solo Leveling
I'm talking about straight eye , not how you juggle this man Into a seven piece combo , knock him into the wall Into a bounce off the wall , knock him into the wall Into a bounce off the wall and collide with him , hit him and drag him from wall to wall to wall to wall .
I'm talking about no , but by the time they got done , you tossed that man into that throne chair and that had that man looking like yup , that's it . Mama said I'm supposed to go home , I'm going home . That whoa , that was ass-whirping that man .
Zuna at that point remembers he was like shit . Don't I have a teleport stone to escape this ?
Like hold on that nigga . Looking like hey , where the fuck that stone at that man like hey , where the fuck that stone at that man said hey , hold on , hold on .
Didn't I come in here with some shit ? I don't know what the fuck I came here for .
What the fuck did I come in here for ? I don't even know . That's how bad of an ass-slipping that man got . Most niggas are caught in amnesia from that shit . They wouldn't even know their own name . I'm hyping this up if you want to . They wouldn't know their own name . That was the most brutal .
That was the most brutal two minutes of a fight scene I have ever seen . Like you've seen anime with fight scenes ? No , no , no . Have you seen a one-sided annihilation ?
like this . We call them a one-sided ass whooping . I would never . I'm sorry . I'm sorry as a person who plays an MMO . I would never In my life I'm not taking a one-sided ass whooping . Oh nah my nigga , if I'm going down , you going down with me , I don't care how we go , you got to go , you talking about taking .
It was a mix of king . It was a mix of King . It was a mix of fucking Jin .
Like that's what I'm saying , Like that . Ooh , I wanted to ask Igris , who hurt you ? Who hurt you ?
Who hurt you . No , no , the other . Disrespecting this aspect , understand the fact how Igris did this . Igris was whooping his ass with his sword and , like June , was like shit , my dagger ain't doing me no good . I'm gonna have to tell him it's like a nigga circuit .
Exactly , he said he's not playing soccer Igrish was poking his head to the side with his sword . He said , oh , so we're gonna just throw hands , okay . He took his sword off , took the dagger off and took the cloak off and said , alright , come on , come on . That man hit him . He said , alright , cool , I felt that just a little bit in my spirit .
Let me show you what Mike Tyson taught me . Ring the bell , ring the bell .
Oh , oh , oh .
When that hit came off , I blew . It hurt me in my soul . I said no , I don't want none . I don't want none of that .
Oh god .
Oh yeah , you reminded me of Kratos from God of War when you finally finished . No , kratos versus God of War . Like all the little when you finally finish doing the button promos at night .
No Kratos versus Valkyrie .
Oh yeah , like just straight up , one after another , after another , after another , and you're like , oh my god , you tried to stand up . You were like , oh , I'm not done with you yet . I'm not done with you when you going .
It was so brutal . But , like I said , he ends up beating Egress . He beats Egress , then he goes into an area where he has to fight all of these knights . He had forgot once again about his no , no , his dailies . He forgot about his dailies and now , mind you , he was getting his ass whooped .
He was going to die , but it saved him and he was like , oh shit , this allowed him to because when he went in that room he couldn't use potions , nothing .
Yeah , sure he couldn't .
But once he got teleported out of there , oh shit , I can use potions now . So he went , leveled himself up by fighting the centipedes , because this time the centipedes wasn't stronger than him . He went , whooped their ass , healed up , went back in , started beating on the armored knights Because he had a little ability called Dominator's Touch .
Basically he can control any and everything . And he was just like , nope bye . Crushing armors left and right . He figured out , oh shit , I got to kill spellcasters in here . That was making it where it was easy . Once he did this and completed everything , that was when , hey , you got your job upgrade .
Oh yeah , the job changed because he built himself up to be like an assassin rogue and then he was like , oh no , you're going to be a necromancer .
And he was like no , no , no , you've earned the right to do something special , would you accept ? Sure , you're now a necromancer . What that means ? I need magic . And then he said no , no , no , you're no longer a necromancer . Hold on , because you've earned enough points , you're now . You're now the shallow monarch . What ?
Yeah , that's when , ladies and gentlemen , you can see , he started Summoning his Infamous army . The beginning Now .
Mike .
This is all of season . This is all of season , this is all of season one . That's all of season one , ladies and gentlemen , cause I won't tuck in Kokugatsu to give their take On this , how they feel about it , but before they do , I want y'all to understand yes , we're getting season two .
Ladies and gentlemen , it gets better and better because , once again , I say you have not seen Beirut , you have not seen . Ladies and gentlemen , it gets better and better Because , once again I say you have not seen Biru , you have not seen Uh Tusk , you have not seen a lot of his Major guys Come into play .
So if you think that Egress Is bad , you think Egress Top tier . Just wait , just wait , just wait , just wait . Because them ants , once again . If you have ever watched Hunter x Hunter and y'all know about the Chimera , y'all remember the Chimera ant arc . Oh yeah , that's a good arc right there . I take that , multiply it times 100 .
That's the ant art right there . I take that , multiply it times 100 . That's the ant art in solo leveling . The chimera ants ain't got none on the ants in solo leveling . And , mind you , the ants in solo leveling are actual ants . Only difference is they're not small , they're not small .
They're not small , yo , not small . They're not small Yo . These things are gigantic , bro Like you remember the movie .
Eight-Legged Freaks .
Oh no , don't spoil it for me .
If I tell you that I'll be spoiled .
When's ?
season two supposed to drop .
We're going to see , is it relatively soon Did it already get greenlit .
They haven't gave a date yet .
But they're working on it . They're already working on it , damn .
It was greenlit for season 2 , I think Halfway through the first season .
It's real popular here in the west , but I think it's not as popular in Japan , is it ?
Not so as much as it should be , but I know I had talked about it before here's the thing this is a Korean show .
It's a Korean show that's quote-unquote . Not as popular in Japan because folks don't watch it on Blu-ray . Once again , folks who still watches Blu-ray ? That's the point again . That's why I wasn't worried about Japan this time . I love y'all but , sorry , I'm not worried about y'all that much because , legit , not too many people watch Blu-ray .
I mean , you bought Nini Blu-ray over there because of the housing , don't get me wrong . I love you , but that's just something to talk about later .
But yeah , so just something to talk about later , but yeah , um so tuck kofugatsu , how did y'all feel about it ? I love it . How'd y'all feel about it ? Absolutely , I want to go first season one was phenomenal .
¶ Discussion on Solo Leveling Characters
I like the way they they built up the season um . The fight scenes was epic . The drawing style was the chef's kiss exactly Exactly how I liked it . They didn't have enough fan service for me and my taste , but it's to be expected . Season 2 will likely have some baby mamas or something like that Okay , Okay .
I got you .
I'm going to have to hit you with a little hurt feelings here now . This is not one of the ones that's gonna have fan service .
The monster ass whoopers is enough fan service For me , I just need .
One person . He gotta fall in love . He gotta fall in love , he gotta have Somebody in love with him . I mean he got to fall in love with Tuck , it's not this type he got to fall in love with . Tuck , it's not this type . He got to have somebody in love with him .
I mean , obviously the healer was , but she retired . Yeah , she ain't going to be in season two . Hopefully we're not going to spoil nothing . So I liked it , obviously for most of the same reason that Tuck says mine is a fan service part . Animation was absolute gold . Every episode I watched it felt like I was watching them .
Like you know how , there's always a big difference between when they make the anime TV shows and when they make the movies , because , like the movies , they put more detail , there's more time into it and animation style looks much more crisp .
You can see that the CGI is done fantastically into it as well , and every episode hit like a movie as far as its animation . It was just absolutely fantastic . It was gorgeous , fucking gorgeous , and so it emphasized every fight scene to its maximum , maximum potential . So every single monster that he wound up slaying , it felt you could feel that slaying .
You felt that destruction . He was like , yes , he is becoming our main character , he's becoming that strength .
My overall favorite part of season one obviously the whole fight between Igris , but really the conversation that he had with his corpse Because , mind you , he realized at that point that there's a maximum number that he could have at this point of his army .
He only has so many at this point and I'm saying that on purpose and I'm not spoiling nothing else but then he realized he had to sacrifice 10 nights in order to get Igris and he was like , damn , yeah , he's just that fucking powerful . But he's like I'm not leaving without him .
But then he also realized he only had three attempts to be able to try to resurrect Igris to join his army . First attempt failed instantly . Second attempt he tried talking to him a little bit . He's like come on , you know you're really powerful , I need you over here . And Icarus again resisted . But then that third time he's like I'm not going to give up .
And he had a whole conversation with pretty much in the gist is this he says look , you are a powerful , amazing person . He's like the fight that we had was glorious . I got my ass handed to me left and right and I didn't think anybody could ever do that again .
But at the same time , you are too powerful to be wasting away at an empty throne to a king that may never return again , king that may never return again . Your king is dead , your king is gone and you will be stuck here guarding an empty throne for all of eternity , or you can rise up to a new king . Rise up and serve me .
Let me take you to places that you have never experienced before . Let me take you to places that you have never experienced before . Let me show your power to its absolute maximum potential . Serve me as you would serve your king . Like , just straight up , no question about it . Just straight up to that point of like , I need you . I'm not leaving without you .
You because you , beyond , earned my respect , and it only gets better as the story goes on . Like talo said , we ain't met the other people yet , this is just the first one , but understand , that's how intent his respect is for these , can you ?
spoil me a little bit . And Can you spoil me a little bit ? And when I say spoil me a little bit , I mean can you tell me like what kind of person is going to be with him ? Like an ally , like a mage , a wizard ?
Are you asking , as far as like , what kind of people are going to be with him ?
Yeah , like , what kind of people Are going to be with him ? What kind of fighters ?
Sorry , he's a necromancer . He's a necromancer assassin . He has no one . His entire Team , matter of fact , not even a team I'm sorry , that's disrespectful . His entire army , armies are people who he has come across , fought , killed and brought back and said come serve me hold on Tuck .
You've seen Hellsing Ultimate . Of course you have Hellsing Ultimate . I know Ultimate . Of course you have Hellsing Ultimate . Yeah , because I know you know of a bridge as well . Hellsing Abridged .
Ultimate .
No , I didn't . Oh , okay , well dang , because I was going to say it's just like Alucard , where he finally , wait , do I know who that is ?
I think I've seen some fights .
You should have . I think we had talked about .
Hellsing . Have you not seen Hellsing Ultimate ? I ?
remember the name , but I don't remember . I don't watch so much stuff .
Pretty much Dracula the vampire that's clad in all his red coat , his big red hat that sports the two pistols .
I don't think I've seen that . I would remember With the glass with the sunglasses that glow yellow . I think I started this , but I didn't finish .
I'm going to go check it out . It's going to let you know .
It's real gory , ain't it ? I'm not really into gory stuff .
When you say , when you see , I'm not really . When you say , hey , look , um , what people . There are no people . Oh sure , there are people that that would love to hang , that that hang out with this man , that that would love to be like yo , I , I'm , I'm on his team , we're're team such and such . No , they are team such and such .
They are team solo leveling . You know , but they are , but once again , nah , this man don't have nobody float with him , he does stuff by himself . Once again , he solos dungeons , by himself Called solo leveling , when they say he and , by the way , not to spoil you , but there's another little spinoff where he has his family . There's a spinoff .
But I suggest , if you want to get to that , I would read Solo Leveling first . But just so you know , in the spinoff he does have a kid and that kid is just the kid , ain't even dead shit , but the kid is just as powerful as him . He had a kid From Bert , and that's just in the spinoff .
Who he had a kid with , who , you think ? Oh , the nurse , I mean the healer .
There was nobody else really . Let's be honest on this .
Nobody said he was relatively paying attention to it .
was that nurse at the hospital that said he got trapezius muscle .
He wasn't really paying attention to her .
Believe me .
There are other women that like him , but it's just like he's not relatively paying attention to them . He's not the hero . He wasn't even relatively even paying attention to what's her name , but it's just that she was closer .
Don't let me be in no anime it's over with the hundred girlfriends that really , really , really love me . That's gonna be me regardless .
I say to you all please watch this anime , support it . Please go read the manhwa , please . If you don't want to read the mama , read that right now . Just read , read , oh , oh , please read , because I promise you there are things in there that you gonna be like , oh my god , once they animate this , yeah , it's over with , it's over with .
This is the same way how I feel about um being reincarnated as a slime . Shout out , remember to click this cause if you have not read the light novels and stuff once again . Once again , um you in for a real wild ride . Now . I want folks to understand that , because I heard a lot of people say oh , this new season ain't all that great .
Once again , y'all are like five , six , seven episodes in . There are usually 24 episodes . Y'all ain't in here fully . This man is going to become king of a lot of stuff and he's broken . I'm talking about , I'm going to say it like it is Matter of fact , no Correction . He's beyond broken Because his subordinates are broken . They become OP .
I've seen the stuff that they can do .
They already OP so you believe they ain't OP you know his team of people , that hell yeah with one fucking one punch .
Basically , believe me , ainz ain't even OP at this point . What the fuck ?
With one punch . Basically Believe me , ainz ain't even OP at this point . What the fuck ? No , because see once again . This is why it's good to read . I've read and seen where Ainz goes . Yeah , if they don't , I'm a pitcher fit . If they don't continue , overlord . I'm a pitcher fit because they don't continue , overlord .
I'm a pitcher fit because I promise you Eins , catastrophic class is nothing .
Yeah , I need to know this information Nothing .
Absolute nothing To that man Once he gets his full , once he gets full out like I thought that was world class alright , when you strong enough to create your own class . Alright . Cause you forget , you forget . You forget who you forget , you forget , you forget who his . You forget who his original partners were , who his original teammates were .
Don't forget about the other ones .
His original team , his original teammates . Once again , when you have your teammates , push you . Some of them don't remember you Until you have to show push you . Some of them don't remember you until you have to show them who you are and why they made you what they made you .
Yeah , world class , world class magic , world class magic but anyway I digress .
I don't want this going too long cause I know Coco Gotsu got .
I just got one question , I got one question for Overlord Do he encounter any of his old friends ? I ain't reading yes .
Things get crazy .
That's why I say I want the anime , but go ahead .
Go ahead .
Let's close this out .
We ran out of time on to this one . So far again , solo leveling . We're going to go ahead . Go ahead , let's close this out . We go ahead . We ran out of time onto this one . But uh , so far again solo leveling . We're gonna go ahead and run across the board real quick . Obvious for me five out of five , ten out of ten .
So I mean it would be fair , maybe even a 9.5 , if I was to do that one for old dude teacher man , like there's still one little drop ball into that . But I mean otherwise like to be honest , it's still kind of like 5 out of 5 , 10 out of 10 . I'm going to say it's about the same . Tell us what you got there .
Yes , it's about the same . For me , basically , it's 10 out of 10 . Y'all know I love this . I love this whole hearted . So , once again , keep it going , keep it going .

Oh , y'all thought I wasn't going to jump on this , huh , nah , I got y'all . What's good ? It's Jet Black Extreme and it's time for my impression on solo leveling . It was good , it was great . Honestly , with only 12 episodes , I it kind of left me wanting more .
¶ Soul Leveling
But let's talk about a little bit . First of all , my boy sun jinwoo . And no , we ain't doing that korean versus japanese , like I know . There's like a japanese version of it . We're not doing it here . It's the same logic as sailor moons , where english dub her name is serena , but japanese is usagi tsukino . We're going with usagi Tsukino , okay , okay .
So my boy Sun Jinu . He's that underdog , that E-rank hunter that went with his friend Juhi I hope I pronounced that correctly and a bunch of other raiders well , hunters , excuse me . They went to what is known as the double dungeon and it went south fast , like you're thinking .
Oh , they cleared the dungeon and then this second dungeon showed up and they had to appear from all these statues and the statues was killing them .
Left and right there was 13 people and only six survived and essentially , enu pretty much figured out the riddle to this dungeon at the cost of nearly his life , like he was almost gone like his leg got chopped off , his arm got chopped off , it looked bad and he was like I just wish I had a second chance .
And then , next thing , you know , the system popped up and he managed to get up out there . But from that point forward , life for genu was like a literal video game , to where he had to daily quest . And let me talk about the daily quest where he had to do 100 push-ups , 100 sit-ups , 100 squats and a 10K run . Does that sound familiar to y'all ?
I thought so . Anyway , by the time he put in like a few days of doing daily quests and whatnot , he got jacked . And I like how the nurses at first was like who's that in that room ? You know , they acted like they didn't know who Genie was Like they didn't really notice him until he got the muscles .
So , gentlemen , listening to this , you know what to do Hit the gym , lift those weights like they love it . Hey , don't , don't let them say that , oh , we don't like men with muscle , like , look here , I had this one friend , I'm not gonna even go down that road , that road for her sake . Point being is , just because they say , oh , just be yourself .
I'm like nah , fuck all that Self-improve , get in the gym , do what you can , get your bag , whatever you have to do to really be digging yourself in this world . Because all that political correctness there's a point to where y'all is straight up lying to people . But anyways , essentially genu is as he says in the last episode .
I like how they did the title drop too . It's like , uh , my soul leveling journey is over . Now they got his shadow army including ignis . And oh man , that fight with ignis , man like I like how ignis was like hitting genu with , uh , you know , like jojo style , like just punching the shit out .
Now I'm not saying that I was hoping genu would lose , but I guess you can say that I was very impressed by the Jinoo versus Ignis fight because it gave me base day , night , unlimited blade work , survive . You know how there was like a blend of 2d and 3d animation going on with that fight . And of course , ignis was like the hardest guy he ever faced .
You know he fought that snake . He fought the three-headed dog , the cerberus , if you , uh , other monsters that it's in my mind right now but witness was by far like the hardest challenge . And then after that there was like this unlimited wave .
It was literally like a video game , if you want to put it like that , and he thought it was over for him , like he was lucky he had that penalty to where . Okay , I got like what ? Five , wait , four hours ? It was four hours . I got four hours to think of a way to get out of this jam that I'm in .
And as soon as he got back he was like , oh shit , the mages . That's who's creating these unlimited . Yeah , see , that's the thing . Like , if you play video games , you will probably be like man . I could have told you that .
Um , one thing that kind of caught me off guard was the whole Kong situation , to where , essentially , him and the other guy at first visited you in the survivors of the double dungeons and three prisoners who are hunters so they can participate in dungeon raids to reduce their sentences .
And on the side there was this one customer that was like , hey man , these prisoners . They sexually assaulted my daughter , she hung herself afterwards and the whole shit made my wife go into shock and she got hospitalized . I want you to kill these guys . I got $3 million Well , not US dollars , I think it was like 2.6 .
It was 3 billion yen , I think it was , and that translates to 2.6 million If I'm correct . I may be wrong . Anyways , kong , I like how Kong was , like shit .
I would have done it for free because but you know if you're gonna pay me , alright , because the thing is , kong was like niggas think I'm fighting to save the day , but really I just like to fight , nah , but in a killing form , to where , like , this dude was like one of those psycho kills .
He even had that psycho killer look on his face from time to time . But of course , you knew , handle him . I'm gonna be honest with you .
I'm not gonna say a whole lot of shit that hasn't been said already by the other guys , but it was really good and honestly , I can't wait to see the final form of if you know what I mean , because keep keep in mind , it was like
¶ Excitement for Solo Leveling Season 2
three . Like , for instance , when you see the cover art for the solo leveling anime , you see Jinu when he first started out . Then you see Jinu when you see him for the majority of season one and then right into the background , you see up the top and you see this silhouette and I'm like that's the Genu that we know to where .
Like you know , he got the haircut and all that he's like . You know how they say you stare into the abyss long enough and the abyss stares back at you .
That type of shit to where , essentially , genu is going on this morally gray path of where sometimes he has to kill other hunters as part of the game and for some reason , the system wants him to succeed , something like that . But in a way , what can I say ? I just love a good underdog .
I could watch the rest of the mom welldogs , I could watch the rest of the mom . Well , not watch , read the rest of them . But um , I'll get to it when I get to it . So far , I would rate season one of soul leveling Five out of five stars it was .
I was so engrossed as soon as I started it , like okay , by the time I got to the end of episode one I'm like uh-uh , I gotta finish this whole thing , shit , yeah . So , with that being said , I know it was pretty short , but you know I keep it short and sweet . Watch solo of me if you will . I'm really hoping that Season 2 comes out real soon .
In fact , I'm hearing that we're going to hear more info about Season 2 on 4th of July , but until then you know the drill Stay nerdy . Remember that great things are coming . I'm zoning out of here .
