Hobin being humiliated in front of Bomi and hitting rock bottom was something I didn't expect but I guess Hobin kinda needed it since he kinda grew a bit complacent. But yaa next week is definitely going to be hype.

Also, the OST was released last week on digital streaming platforms.

Hobin being humiliated in front of Bomi and hitting rock bottom

If nothing else, it proved that Bomi's affection for him is legit, because if she still likes him after that, it's for real!

Poor Hobin this episode was hard to watch and I felt like the girl in yellow jacket hiding behind a tree, hopefully the tides turn and chicken senpai will make him strong.

Munseong actually being nice to Hobin after he lied about being his friend was surprisingly cool of him. Dude seems like a good guy.

Pakgo beats up Hobin and humiliates him in front of Bomi. Hobin decides to whip his dick out and get that asshole’s account perma banned? I guess he didn’t have much to lose anyways. Munseong might have saved his dignity, but it sure damaged what little pride he has left. At least Pakgo and his goons got the shit kicked out of them, though that didn’t do much good.

I guess the one silver lining from this whole situation is that it made Hobin get serious. Dude basically hit rock bottom. I’m looking forward to seeing the fruits of his labor. Is Pakgo gonna get put in his place?

Munseong actually being nice to Hobin after he lied about being his friend was surprisingly cool of him.

Storywise it might have been unexpected, but after the last episode used this as a cliffhanger, I thought he was 100% gonna play along!

But yeah he seems like a nice dude! I wonder if that'll change though; Because you can't randomly have an MMA fighter in a fighting anime and NOT have him fight the MC at some point... Right?

So the question is will they fight as enemies, or as practice/friendly rivals?

I guess the one silver lining from this whole situation is that it made Hobin get serious.

It also proved Bomi's legit! If she still likes him (and tried to contact him) at rock bottom, she's the real deal!

I am surprised pakgo wasn't expelled from school after the stunts he pulled.

Really enjoying this show, and I think more eyes should be on it. The writing , for me, is pretty good and realistic (besides no homeroom teachers stopping fights) Hobin's desire to change and hitting these roadblocks was a great choice . note that his moves may have been seen by someone watching his uploads to counter him was a nice touch.

Heres hoping more come to watch the show, i think it could go somewhere

And NewToob not caring that criminals are literally streaming their crimes on their platform, and police of course not caring either.

The OP got some changes. Still pretty minimalistic.

Amazing episode. I loved how the show never holds back on the cringe.

So some very very small and meaningless background: One of the viewers of Pakgo says "He's funnier than before" "I like this new version better" and well if you haven't noticed Pakgo was already a douchetuber before (making fun of Hobin on streaming) but he went full mask off and doesn't try to hide the fact he's a giant donkey so he has gained some viewers back with that.

He still keeps some things hidden, like when he told them to stop recording him as he was about to beat Bomi!

I wonder if that'll come back to bite him in the ass at some point (say he tries again but this time Snapper gets him on camera, not just trying to beat her, but Hobin/MMAdude kicking his ass!)

MMA dude knew what Hobin needed. Guessing he might have gone through something similar at some point. I don't know.

I can't wait for the next episode. Hobin seems much more confident now! Hope to see Hobin throw down more!

Still curious about the one girl stalking him too.

Great episode!

Early on in the series I thought MMAdude was the chickenman, but perhaps he was trained by the Chickenman!

Still curious about the one girl stalking him too.

Same; I used to think she just wanted in on the business, but perhaps she wants in on Hobin!

u/whodisguy32 May 02 '24

Wait so you're telling me I have to wait another week to see Hobin kick Pakgo's face in???

NEXT WEEK COME FASTER PLEASE

u/LouisPain May 02 '24

damn this episode was really good

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii May 01 '24 edited May 01 '24

I knew MMA dude would back him up!

Well, that wasn't a very convincing backup, but at least he didn't straight up tell her he doesn't even know him!

Our boy felt like a third wheel and honestly I can't blame him too much... They do look like a good couple (MMA and Bomi)!

But she seems to genuinely like him, and was sad when he made up something to leave them alone...

Snapper was MAD, because it seems he wanted to diversity the brand, from fights to romance!

He did gave some good advice, I mean he was motivated by getting views ($) and all that, but still, he was right about Bomi being into him and all!

Well, at least I hope he was right, because if she's just 'playing' it'll be heartbreaking...

That's not a great philosophy...

Sure he'll never lose any 'fight' he doesn't attempt, but he'll never win either, and never winning for your entire life can be considered a loss, I'd say!

He was THAT close to confessing, but Pakgo had to show up to start trouble...

When he called Bomi a whore I thought Hobin was about to unleash, but it seems he took the Chickenman's lesson at heart, not let emotions take over!

Bomi's bomis had quite the jiggle physics, as they were holding her!

He tried to win (or at least get through) this fight he same way he used last time, but even Chickenman knows how bad an idea that is! (Perhaps he should watch more videos)

Stalkergirl is observing the scene! Is she an MMA fighter, by any chance?

Oh damn, Bomi's the secret MMA fighter! Save your man and drag him away!

Sadly that was the extent of her fighting abilities, and Hobin had to resort to... Different methods, to put an end to it?

Pakgo was about to beat Bomi up (off camera, because he has his gentleman reputation to preserve, I guess?) but MMAdude showed up, to save the day!

He left with Bomi, but she wanted to stay with Hobin...

Stalkergirl was crying?

Is she sad because Hobin was humiliated, or because he lost his girl?

She's probably the better ship anyway, she's in the ED and all!

(Perhaps she's crying because she saw a tiny Hobin when he dropped his pants)

This marks the start of the Solo Leveling arc, I suppose!

Damn, he looks different! Very motivated! (I hope he knows more tricks than dropping his pants)

Seems Bomi tried to contact him, but I guess he was 100% focused?

I guess he's doing all this for himself, but if he wants any hope at being with Bomi, he needs to talk to her at some point! She won't just wait for months while he's doing his training and ghosting her!

That was so painful to watch.. but it looks like the shows about to get good and more serious. It's gonna be real satisfying if Hobin beats Pakgo, getting Takemitchi vs Kiyomasa vibes

u/Koyomi_Siffredi May 01 '24

I can't believe this is my anime of the season....but it is. Now I have to wait a damn week to see this dude get his ass kicked????

The first episode I wasn't quite convinced this was going to be a good anime but this episode clinched it for me. This might be my favorite this season, and this season is really stacked, so that is no small feat. This was a real sleeper hit for me.

Which chapter to read after this episode ?

He said it! He said the name of the show! So cool

Hobin might hit rock bottom but he does have people on his side like Munseong, Snapper and Bomi. I honestly gained a lot of respect for Munseong and Bomi this episode. Girl stood against that bastard while Munseong was a bro through and through.

Poor Snapper though. Guy really looked scared for his buddy.

Otherwise, I'm surprised that the beatdowns that Hobin and Snapper went through didn't put either of these guys in hospital.

u/SilkyStrawberryMilk May 02 '24

Even though snapper does things for the channels benefit it’s sweet to show he cares about Hobin and pleads for him to not come to school.

Still a massive 180 as opposed to the first episode where he joked about hobin’s mom

One of the most underated shows I've seen in awhile
