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.

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.

Solo leveling can't be getting away with these cliff hangers, man! Almost perfect episode, but as per every other this season it ends on a cliff hanger. This episodes being the worst one yet. This episode has Peak, action and is also one of the first to actually have some worldbuilding within it instead of just mindless power scaling and battles. I still truly believe that this will be the greatest anime this year. Everything about it is truly amazing, the animation and story telling are STUNNING and I am sure that the whole fanbase cannot wait for the boss fight within jeju Island Arc. 10/10 Episode.

The episode was great it had great animation but when jin woo grabbed gotos hand I wasn't satisfied because he looked way better in the manhwa than in the anime

manhwa jin woo looks way more handsome than the anime jin woo

I would like it if the character design of jin woo would look a little bit more like in the manhwa

In the manhwa he doesn't have a sharp chin and the hair isn't the same

And the outfit isn't the same too

In the manhwa his coat or whatever that is is black but in the anime its blue

Dont get me wrong the animation is great

But look for yourself and compare anime jin woo and manhwa jin woo.
