And I saw somebody saying it has an average storyline, when little to nothing of the plot has even been revealed yet and the fact is that even though the plot is revealed they are still people that will hate on it, but that is just how the world is, everybody has different view about things.

Can it get even better?

For the previous episode, i wrote a review in which i pointed out how quickly it ended. This one surpassed that - there's no way it was just 20 minutes! I want more!

I'm not familiar with the Manhwa, but I think everyone will be satisfied with the adaptation, as this episode reaches a climax of the anime, delivering high quality animation, fighting and music/sfx.

The fight between Jinwoo and The Ant King was flawless - simply amazing!

And once again, I have to mention how valuable the colors were in this episode. Jinwoo and The Ant King, Blue and Red - a perfect interplay of colors, wonderfully choreographed. All the frames that were seen during the fight were the greatest Highlight of the episode - remarkable work, truly beautiful.

I was surprised that this episode is even better than the previous one, which had already fully convinced me.

For a full 20 minutes, this episode doesn't let you go.

This episode is exactly what I thought it would be and more. The build up to this fight was really damn good and the fight itself was absolutely spectacular in every single aspect. From the Choreography, lighting, shot selection and overall movement...it was perfection. I love that in the anime it follows more towards the Ligh Novel in how close of a fight it actually was. This was easily the best episode of the series by far and it was such a show stomping way to end the series. Its sad to see Solo Leveling go but i cant wait till further seasons so I'm definitely excited to wait in anticipation for the rest to come. Thank you A1 pictures for this fantastic.

One of the best anime episodes i have seen.

It has so many layers, good animation, pacing, suspense, and it keeps up with manga but also introduces new things.

What surprised me the most and what made me give 10/10 is they introduced which can just be described as phase two or phased combat against much stronger opponents i have seen in both single player and online gaming, and they have not only added that, but the perfect music as a background as well and implemented it into the fight in the best possible way.

The scenes are breathtaking and every second has so much information.

It has left me with tears in my eyes, and i am both pleasantly surprised and proud of being alive to see such masterpiece.

Thank you.
