We Need a Hero

This episode really had potential it could've gotten a rating of 9.5 minimum if they hadn't ruined it it's obvious it was on purpose bro the moment when Jin woo stopped goto was way cooler in the manhwa as it his aura and superiority go check for yourselves even the moment when he interfered to save cha hae in bro it was waaaaayy better in the manhwa the animation is great in this season we have to appreciate that but they have to stop deleting some scenes as a manhwa reader I can feel and see the difference also tbh the fights are better in the anime's but some scenes are better in the manhwa.

Disappointed with how the scene where they got stopped was animated and directed. You can feel Jinwoo's superiority much more in the manhwa, and the scene is way more devastating and impressive... such a shame. And most importantly! Why didn't they include the moment where Goto literally freaks out, sweats buckets, and says he literally saw death and thought it was his end? Maybe a choice from the writers, but still a shame. Can't wait for next week, though! However, I also understand the intention of maintaining a fast and dynamic pace, but sometimes I feel like they skip a bit too many scenes while keeping others that aren't really interesting. That's just my opinion !

Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 10 Review: "We Need a Hero"

Episode 10 of Solo Leveling Season 2 delivers an exciting mix of action and character development, setting the stage for the highly anticipated Jeju Island raid.

Plot & Character Development

Sung Jinwoo finally crafts the Elixir of Life, reviving his mother from her coma-an emotional moment that highlights his motivation beyond just power. Meanwhile, the Hunter Association gathers S-rank hunters for a dangerous mission on Jeju Island, overrun by monstrous ants. Jinwoo wrestles with the decision to join the raid, torn between protecting his mother and confronting the growing threats in the hunter world.

This episode also explores the emotional toll of hunting, particularly through Lee Joohee's decision to retire after experiencing the dangers firsthand. Jinwoo's transformation is evident as he begins to weigh his responsibilities, not just as a lone hunter but as someone who could change the course of battle.

Direction & Pacin

Director Shunsuke Nakashige skillfully balances emotional moments with intense build-up toward the Jeju Island raid. The episode moves swiftly, keeping viewers engaged while allowing key character moments to shine

Fans are buzzing about Jinwoo's next move-will he join the Jeju raid? His decision could mark a turning point in his journey. Speculations also swirl around how the upcoming battles will test his evolving abilities

Episode 10 is a turning point, masterfully blending personal stakes with the looming war against the ant monsters. As Solo Leveling builds momentum, fans are left eagerly anticipating what's next.

But anyway just wait for one piece fan to downvote it on all websites they're so cringe.both of them are so jalouse for solo leveling success that's crazy this is literally the worst but absolutely worth fan base is the anime community they are not anime fan lol. POV a one piece fan : I'll give credit where it's due-the visuals are top-tier. But amazing animation means nothing if the story isn't engaging. The pacing feels rushed, the emotional moments don't land, and everything just moves from one overpowered battle to the next without letting anything breathe. It's all spectacle, no substance.

Final Thoughts

Episode 8 looks fantastic but lacks any real weight. If you just want to see Jinwoo flex his strength in beautifully animated fight scenes, you'll probably have a great time. But if you're hoping for actual tension, character growth, or a story that makes you feel something, you're out of luck. Solo Leveling is starting to feel like a show that only looks good on the surface, and that's a shame.

To all the people complaining about this episode being not as good as good as the manhwa are even lucky we got this in the anime. Solo leveling is adapting the light novel for the anime not the manhwa and we didn't even get all the fights in the start of this episode In the light novel. People need to stop complaining because sorry to tell you this but basically every anime ever isn't going to do still shots as well as the manga. Very big shocker right. And also would you guys want these fights to look out of this world or the fight we are getting at the end of the season that is the most hyped solo leveling episode yet. Some people don't deserve this anime of your complaining about this anime.
