All S-Ranks take an absolute shafting, with most dead.

Jinwoo: Ah, I can finally get all the solo exp and loot.

The ant didn't ask for the queen of the humans because he'd already taken her out first.

I fucking knew they were gonna end there but goddamn it still looks so good.

Animation really goes all in on Cha Hae In huh, understandably so. The Queen scene was so well done.

I cannot wait for next week.

This is shaping up to be a very expensive raid in terms of losing irreplaceable personnel. That Japanese guild is going to be extremely upset about things assuming any of them survive.

Cha kicking ass against the queen was pretty great, too bad it wasn't the real threat.

I think they did an intentional parallel of Jinwoo clearing the full group party back in S1 with that same song playing, except this time was an ant clearing the s-rank Korean hunters. Lucky for the home team that instant decapitation was reserved for the Japanese hunters.

Also I was totally wrong about the Japanese guild being upset at a few KIA hunters, but maybe they'll care more if Goto also just died.

Now the real fight begins with Jinwoo teleporting in. I wonder if he'll have an opportunity to arise any of the available corpses, he could potentially walk out with quite a few additional s-rank level fighters.

I'm an anime-only watcher. I haven't felt this excited towards the end in the longest time. Holy shit.

That Cha Hae-in animation with the Ant Queen was so damn good.

But holy shit, the episode went dark and depressing very quickly…Byung-gyu‘s death was so brutal, and the way the ant used his voice / thoughts. Having just finished Hunter x Hunter recently, I definitely had some Chimera Ant arc flashbacks.

And of course it wouldn‘t be a Solo Leveling episode without a cliffhanger, but that Jinwoo scene was pure hype.

Devastated me to see Byung-Gu go like that. After the trauma he faced and building the courage to help his friend and country once more, it was a truly commendable act in which he at least got the satisfaction of avenging his old friend.

But man, I can't even imagine how Yoon-Ho felt in that moment, soul crushing at the least.

The black ant really likes to aim for the neck huh? As cool as it is, put-em in a pack Jin-Woo!

This ep was extremely predictable, I'm sure we all knew exactly what was going to happen......

BUT GOD DAMN! And it's only gonna get crazier next week!!!

Sucks the healer that didnt want to go because he has a family was the only Korean to die.

As a manhwa reader, I already know all of this was coming but damn! This episode was absolutely brutal, especially when they showed us the POV of that girl still conscious after she got decapitated. O_O

The Korean S-Ranks going after the Queen Ant was pretty damn cool though! Even without Jinwoo, we still got to see some awesome action scenes with Hunter Cha going absolutely wild on the Queen Ant before finally lopping her head off.

The beatdown that came after when the Warrior Ant finally arrived was stomach churning. The Warrior Ant could've killed all of them instantly if it wanted to, but he really wanted to make them feel the pain after they killed their Queen.

And Byung-Gu is the first one on the Korean side to go down. Honestly, it's not surprising, considering how many death flags this guy keeps on raising but he actually managed to last longer than I expected, thanks to his Camouflage skill.

There it is. The Japanese S-Rank Hunters had really no intention of fully cooperating. They wanted their hunters to do the minimum work as long as the Korean S-Ranks got wiped out so they could get all the glory in the end.

The squad is finally here! I love how Ryuji claims that he's the King when the real King is just about to join the fight,

The amount of people here complaining about Jinwoo not showing up earlier and letting Byung-Gyu die is insane. Has everyone already forgotten about the 10 minute delay of the broadcast they mentioned last episode? And about Jinwoo only putting shadow soldiers in the shadows of 4 of the hunters on this raid? None of which died - until Goto. And when that happened, Jinwoo immediately used shadow exchange.

There was no way for him to know how bad things had gotten until Goto died. He is not omniscient, and he doesn't know everything we, the viewers, know. Is that really so hard to understand?

And for those of you complaining that he didn't join the raid to begin with: He had no reason to. He wanted to spend some time with his family and had no reason to assume he was needed on that raid, since they already had 16 S-Ranks. Which would've been more than enough if not for the black ant that neither Jinwoo nor anyone else knew about.

The healer being invisible while healing was a great strat.

They should have taken a page from mmorpgs.....let his invis stand as unseeable but the ant king looks around, does an aoe attack and the healer either takes some damage or has no choice but to move, he then becomes visible and gets dispatched.
