    Best episode yet

    10/10 Animations 10/10 fight 10/10 Igris this episode absolutely nailed it. The tension was built up perfectly, making every fight feel intense and high-stakes. The pacing was spot on, keeping things exciting without any unnecessary filler. Every hit, every move, and every moment kept you locked in, making it one of the most thrilling episodes so far.

    Visually, the animation quality was next level. The fights were beautifully choreographed, with insane detail and fluidity that truly brought the manhwa to life. You could feel the impact of every attack, and the way they animated Jinwoo's powers made it feel like you were watching something special. It's clear that the studio went all out to make this episode stand out.

    A masterclass in hype and execution!!

    The latest episode of Solo Leveling delivers everything fans have been waiting for-and more. From the moment the opening sequence rolls in, you can feel the tension building. Baran, the Monarch of White Flames, is finally given the respect he deserves, portrayed as a true force of terror. The animation is absolutely stunning, with fluid motion, crisp choreography, and weight behind every attack.

    The fear factor was real-Baran's presence loomed over the battlefield, but Sung Jin-Woo was on another level. And that moment when his head got taken clean off? Beautifully brutal. It's the kind of moment that leaves you in awe, reminding us why Solo Leveling is peak action anime.

    Absolutely cinema and masterpiece

    It was a great and epic conflict with the king of demons Baran, and the quality is excellent, and I loved fighting while he was in the rain, he was excellent, and thank you for dealing better with this work, which will be one of

    . The most beautiful works in the new generation

    The fight was long unlike in the manhwa And I like that they gave King Baran his right in this work and fighting the shadows was very wonderful and they did not spoil it, but better in dealing with them, what a beautiful and enthusiastic work to fight the king of the ants of beru and I hope it will be better than this wonderful fight if you do not follow this work, you have missed something wonderful and big

    And thank you very much.

    Animators went CRAZY!!

    I am baffled.. truely baffled at how INSANE the quality of the fight and animation was in this episode!

    I was pumped and had chills all over my body! The joy and privilege of watching something as good and monumental as this!

    The episode was hyped up for quite some time, and it was worth everything! Coulours, style, directing, VA, soundtrack.. everything was incredible! I am almost afraid to say it.. but I got Tengen vs Gyaturo vibes watching this, do to the stunning animation, the tension and how crazy the last part of the fight was!

    The animators better get a raise and some time off after this! They have earned it!

    This was the peak of what time and dedication can offer!

    Absolute cinema

    The latest Solo Leveling episode was absolutely insane! The battle against the Demon King Baran was everything I hoped for and more. The animation quality was top-tier, and the atmosphere during the rain-soaked fight made it even more intense. Baran felt like a true menace, and I love that they gave him the screen time he deserved-way more fleshed out than in the manhwa.

    The shadow battles were stunning, and the way they handled them was just chef's kiss-fluid, powerful, and straight-up hype-inducing. They didn't just adapt the fight; they elevated it. If this is how they're handling Baran, I can't wait to see how they animate the battle against Beru.

    If you're not watching Solo Leveling, you are seriously missing out. This episode was a masterclass in action and intensity. Thank you to the team for doing justice to such an epic moment!
