    Great episode

    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.

    The King felt true Fear for the first time

    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.
