We Need a Hero

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.

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.

So here we have the hyped up Jeju Island finally come and it was pretty good. The fights and choregraphy was nice as usual, though I wish the Goto-Jin Woo fight could have gone on for a bit longer since that was the highlight moment of the episode.

The healer guy just appearing felt a little sudden though and could have been set up more. And then BOOM! Fire, cool animation, ants getting ripped.

I think what's interesting about the show, is that deep down we know that the S-ranks aren't strong enough and Jin Woo is gonna have to show up. This goes against his happiness now, as his mother is cured and there's no longer any reason to fight.

So he's gonna have to, otherwise the nation will fall under attack and he's gonna have to fight to protect his loved ones anyway.

So overall I think the show's pretty interesting and the fights are good even though~

Its not the most deep and compelling piece of fiction of all time and the quality of episodes does vary significantly from COOL FIGHTS to boring slice-of-life featuring characters that no one cares about. The whole ant thing also kinda rips off HxH as well.

But I don't care and cool fights are enough for me. Last but not least, HOLY dam THAT ENDING WAS CRAZY.

9/10.

The Fight of Jinwoo vs Goto was actually greatly adapted in The manhwa they made goto seem really weak, now they made him and all other s rank hunters really seem Powerful i always underestimated them cuz they seemed really weak in the manhwa even tho they aren't so that was really amazing to see, Plus the long awaited reveal of beru is finally here im really excited for the next episodes now more than ever, not to mention the ending of the episode was Insane the animation studio did not hold back the gore so was really cool and terrifying to see how instantly she was gone, but the cliffhanger was a tough one but still acceptable, All an all A 10/10 episode for me.

This was yet another great episode, that gaves us a taste of just how great and unpredictable things are about to get!

This episode had multiple great moments of qction as the other S rank hunters gets to show off their powers! The best and most anticepated has got to be the sparring fight with Jinwoo and the japanese guildmaster!

The fight was short yet intense snd very well animated! Kinda feels like that tease of just how crazy things might get later!

The second half kicks off Jeju Island and the ants are clearly not messing around this time! Seems like we are gonna witness the greatest threat yet, according to that insane cliffhanger!

I need the next episode asap!
