Are You the King of Humans

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.

The most anticipated episode of this season, and after watching it, A-1 definitely understood the assignment. This episode was phenomenal, in my opinion, probably the best fight in the entire series so far, and it makes me really excited to see what's to come from this series and A-1 Studio. A masterclass in animation with some very big-hitter animators such as Yoshihiro Kanno, combined with the angelic and eerie Hiroyuki Sawano OST and score, this episode was perfection; everything you could have wanted from an adaptation frankly elevated the source material in a big way. I was extremely satisfied with the episode, and I hope we get the same level of consistency as we have had in season 2.

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.

There are very few words to justify this legendary achievement! This episode, despite all we have seen, delivers a fight that was out of this world!

This episode sees the arrival of Sung Jinwoo.. and I probably don't have to say more than that! What happens next is just pure insanity!

This fight was the most cinematic, intense and crazy experience i have had in a long time! I think I forgot to breathe, blink.. as Beru transformed and the fight reached god mode, I forgot that I even excisted! Those 10min made me forget about everything else!

The animators went beyond what feels possible to create an experience that failed to escape my dreams and I immidiatly wanted to rewatch!

At the end we get another Cliffhanger from hell.. I dont want this season to end next week!

Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 12, titled "Are You the King of Humans," is an action-packed installment that delivers an epic battle between Jinwoo and the Ant King.¹ The episode begins with Jinwoo's shadow soldiers fighting ant magic beasts, followed by Jinwoo's arrival on Jeju Island, where he swiftly eliminates hordes of winged ants and heals injured S-rank Hunters with his potions.²

The battle between Jinwoo and the Ant King's son is intense, with the son infecting Jinwoo with a deadly toxin. However, Jinwoo uses his Player Log to detox the toxin and unlocks a new skill called "Mutilation" to gain the upper hand. The animation is top-notch, with A-1 Pictures delivering impressive visuals that make the fight scenes thrilling to watch.

While some viewers might find the convenient timing of Jinwoo's new skill acquisition disappointing, the episode's pacing and cutaways to other characters' storylines help maintain momentum and excitement. The cliffhanger ending, which reveals the Elixir of Life's ineffectiveness in saving Hae-In, sets the stage for a suspenseful season finale.

Overall, Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 12 is a must-watch for fans, offering an electrifying battle and raising the stakes for the season's conclusion.

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.
