I was honestly disappointed by this episode. While Solo Leveling has had some incredible moments in the past, this particular episode felt like a letdown. The animation was decent, but it didn't capture the intensity and excitement that fans have come to expect. The pacing felt rushed, and the supposed big moments didn't have the impact they should have. The character development, especially for the protagonist, seemed to take a step back, and I didn't feel as engaged with the story as I usually do.

It's hard not to feel that this episode is a bit overrated. It didn't live up to the expectations set by earlier episodes, and I found myself losing interest at points. I'm hoping the next episodes can redeem the series and bring back the high stakes and emotional depth that made Solo Leveling so special to begin with.

This episode truly stands out as one of the finest of 2025. The animation was top-notch, and the transformation was absolutely mesmerizing. It reminded me of the iconic Super Saiyan 4 debut from Dragon Ball GT episode 38 - a moment I'll never forget. The design and execution of that transformation were truly remarkable, capturing both power and elegance in a way I hadn't seen before.

Akira Toriyama has changed the world of anime forever with his incredible vision. From the humor of Dr. Slump to the action-packed moments in Dragon Ball, his work has shaped countless stories and inspired fans around the world. His legacy is undeniable, and even though he's no longer with us, his creations continue to bring joy and nostalgia to us all.

Thank you, Toriyama-sensei, for everything you've given us. Your contributions to anime will live on, and your characters will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in peace, and know that your impact will never be forgotten.
