[Spoilers] Solo Leveling 2nd Season - Episode 6 Discussion

2287

Yeah, this was like, made just for Jinwoo to show off lol. I remember loving this part back then, besides the Jeju Island stuff, this was one of those times he just went full power, no holding back. And ofc, everyone had Pikachu faces ‘cause, like, he was just their equipment carrier… even worse, an E-rank. Then boom, shadow army everywhere, Jinwoo flipping around and wrecking an entire army that would’ve wiped out a bunch of A-rank hunters like it was nothing. Yeah, no wonder their brains short-circuited.

The animation was crazy good this episode, guess the staff knew this was a big deal. That Doctor Doom-looking dude had zero chance lol. I kinda feel bad for him… LIKE, REALLY. So many people watching, Cha Haein, Woo Jinchul, and all, there was just no way Jinwoo wasn’t gonna look like some kind of unlimited aura god. The secret’s out. And rip Cha Haein, no more secret Jinwoo-sniffing this time :(

A-1 went absolutely nuts with the fight scenes. Now the world knows, or is at least starting to get the idea, that Jinwoo is just built different xD

This might just be one of the best things I've watched this year (so far), which I know isn't saying much since we're only 2 seasons in, but I doubt we'll get a lot of shows that'll rival this one. I already went in with high expectations, and even then they were somehow thrown straight out of the ballpark, whatever A-1 cooked here was fucking insane, shit had me grinning like an idiot the whole time.

Absolute cinema

  A-1 showing what they are capable of given unlimited budget. I am just crying because tbate doesn't look anything like this.

A hard day for Solo Leveling hater. Orcs army cheering looked like a FIFA crowd at the beginning, but A-1 managed to hide them nicely in most of the cuts, especially when stronger Shadows were fighting them in groups. Liked the final fight too. Very good episode overall.

  why you gotta twist your words so hard 🤣🤣🤣

literal cinema

The animation in itself is leveling up as we move further in the story. A great episode. I can only hope for it to get more interesting considering what's yet to come.
Kyuugo 1y
I was grinning even before the ep started lmaoo. I read the manhwa so I knew whats going to happen but A1 is just blowing away my expectations!!

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

I wanted to see more audience impact tho, specially after taking in Tusk. The chain scene was really good! I don't remember that being significant in the Manhua.

Episode 6 will probably be the highlight of this season and A1's animation was stellar. It's gonna be a wild ride from now on.
- CallMeWeeeb 1y
  beru fight will be the icon of s2 in all honesty
  Virowo 1y
  s3*
  Nogtog 1y
  if we're at this point with 6 episodes released out of 13, why wouldnt beru be in s2?
  Virowo 1y
  Yeah nevermind what I said, with the amount of skipped content and the potential fact that last episode's length would be doubbled or something I guess we'll make it through that point which is insane ngl I'm so hyped!
- Puplord 1y
  There are 2 more big clashes coming up this season which is going to be much intense than this one.
Red 1y
This has to be the best episode so far, seeing Sung go all out was just EPIC.
immatoll 1y
This season is just awesome. I don't care if it does not have a complex story or not. This is just peak action and visually satisfying in every regard. As well as the OST composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. And the MC is just a f**** badass.
Azazel21 1y
this show releases around 4am in my timezone and it's so worth staying awake for, goddamn. Absolute cinema, peak action anime right here! Major props to the animators and staff for pulling this series off

[Heavy manga spoilers] So when Tusk gets defeated he sees the shadows standing above him that turn into the other shadows and then get distorted and stuff - this is hinting to the existence of monarchs and stuff, but was the shadow that killed him actually Bellion? You can tell by the face and helmet they look very similar? Am I imagining things? Or is this a huge foreshadowing only present in the anime?
- sund3r 1y
  Think you might be onto something! My interpretation is that Tusk saw the vision of Bellion ending his life but it in reality it was just Iron landing the final blow.
- Historian 1y
  The webtoon also hints at the existence of monarchs if you reread this section. He goes something along the lines of "it can't be, a mo-" when Jinwoo resurrects the high orcs in front of him. So yes, it is major foreshadowing toward the existence of monarchs.

Legit When I first saw A-1 being the studio I thought oh hell noo, but holy sht do they continue to prove me wrong and wrong. They're cooking so hard This is above and beyond crazy good
Natison 1y
wow, this episode is the best so far, beautiful animation and camera direction. they went nuts with this ep, but probably because its one of important ;)
ILoafAnime 1y
As a casual viewer, yep, that was pretty awesome. It's kind of great going into this show with zero expectations. Best episode so far.

GOT FCKING CHILLS FROM START TO FINISH

The episode was wild! Honestly, after season 1, I really thought the anime was gonna flounder like God of highschool or Tower of God. I thought It was gonna be another botched manhwa adaption, but no, they're nailing this season. I'm so glad to be wrong. Solo Leveling deserves a quality adaption and I feel like they're doing the art of the story justice.
DragonApricot 1y
I mentioned this elsewhere, but the igris 2v1 brought me back to the naruto days, where the whole budget was thrown at the super technical close quarter combat. Because when Naruto wanted to showoff, holy fuck was it impressive and that was the same vibe i had here. I pray their budget and resources increase for the rest of the story.
OhRLY 1y
Seeing Tusk again made me yell and cheer, our favorite magic goofball!
Obelius 1y
Peak cinema masterclass
Kappejoj 1y
Two words: PEAK LEVELING

A1-Pictures reminding us what they can do, this may be be my 2nd favorite fight scene after Demon slayer s2, gonna be hard to beat Ufotable.
I hope Solo leveling can reach Demon slayer's popularity, this is just peak anime right here.
arreglofloral 1y
the animation was insane for a weekly anime. I also felt sad for the orc boss, he had no chance... tusk is really cute !!!

  now i know why

fight was so goood. A-1 is crushing it
devloz 1y
Great episode. Definitely fun watch, but not without flaws. Can't have no criticism, since the reveal scene is very important to me. The whole reveal seemed to be skimmed over. I remember him taking his sweet time being oblivious, fucking around with Tusk and his soldiers count, while normal people watched on.

Maybe it's been a while since I've read the manhua, but I don't think he was being this smug and enthusiastic. At least in front of enemies, he would be dead serious, and later on, would become rather disinterested. Well, "predator smiling at prey" might have been in his repertoire, but that was not it.

Animation holds up, but the background fights need a bit more love. Looked like turn-based combat. It felt like drinking expensive bourbon and doing cheap vodka shots in between sips.

"I'm not stuck here with you. You're stuck here with me" moment. Absolutely satisfying to watch.

action is dope, just ready to see the needle move in terms of story
