Great episode, they really put in the budget on this one, the fight was really good, and they managed to close it with a good cliffhanger

@Yuyu1ch1 But what did this fight mean other than looking cool? Yep, nothing just like I thought. Heart and soul meaning nothing when there's no substance behind it

so you just going to ignore them showing his sister and mother? the two main reasons he is a hunter?

Such a great fight against Igris, the animation was on point. Then Jin-woo drops his TP stone again, what a surprise!

Jin-Woo keeps getting stronger, now he can equip armor that isn't visible, I guess for aesthetic reasons.

The fight against Igris was incredible, the animation's fluidity and the accompanying soundtrack were masterful. But as Jin-Woo said, he defeated Igris out of sheer luck because if Igris hadn't been a knight and fought with his weapons or aimed for a fatal blow on Jin-Woo, he wouldn't have made it.

I would have preferred a path of mercy from Igris after seeing Jin-Woo's efforts, or something similar.

There's only one episode left, and I hope it leads to a second season directed by the same studio.

Jinwoo's job-change request, the real Player game starts here.

The mana-inducing and damage-increasing dungeon quest is a doozy for Jinwoo, not to mention their range of abilities that could end his life in one swoop if he's not careful. But once again, the dungeon's high-risk, high-reward feature does improve his chances of survivability until he finds the dungeon boss: the Knight Commander, Igris the Bloodred. The knights who defends an empty throne, he's unlike ANY enemy that Jinwoo has ever faced, forcing him to rethink his strategy for defeating him.

While things within Yoojin Construction is heating up of Jinho's brother Jinsung, whom he and his party is heading to Jeju Island for the S-rank dungeon raid, the pure fist fight of Jinwoo and Igris, even that has a possibiliy odf the former losing his life at a much higher risk, but with better defense. Jinwoo's defeat may be for a while, but his comeback is even stronger, and that reassures his victory against a fearsome enemy like Igris. But this is not the end of his problems just yet: a wave of enemies in a fit for survival. The benefit of having an teleportation stone is critical (which he has), but will he be able to survive before death throes at his doorstep?

HYPE EPIC FIGHT. Survive all you can now, Jinwoo.

Despite that hard job-change quest, the king is about to be born. The manhwa was great on this part but action scenes are best watched in motion than read in pages, and A-1 did a nice job adapting this.

Side note, I'm curious about the island and why it seems to be a big deal, maybe it's the origin of these portals.

Jeju Island has an S rank gate that they failed to beat three times in the past.
It's a big deal because they lost a lot of good fighters, even a S rank hunter. If the monsters get off the island they could wipe out cities.
@Yaggamy
I see, thanks for clarifying that. I do remember the island scene back in the first episode with the giant ants but I didn't realize the monsters could leave the island and wipe out cities.

MC: We are equals in tems of speed. But he's much more powerful.
So what's the plan? I guess, I'll just stop his sword with my bare hand (even though he's much more powerful (which is ofc is not a problem after MC getting angry) and I've already lost like half hp, all mana and some stamina).

And then, SURPRISINGLY (not) MC again just stabs boss in its eye and after that basically one-shots it😂. I've lost count of how many bosses he's killed by hitting their eyes only? (remind me pls)

Why did they cut the part that explains how he parried the sword with his hand, without explanation it makes no sense and looks cheap.
The manhwa literally takes one panel to explain it come on.
How to ruin the peak of the fight...

Jinwoo may have chew more than he can in this quest. It looks way hard without the use of the usual powers that are available previously. Another way to level up even more then.

Great episode with amazing animation. Only downside was when we shifted away from Jinwoo’s perspective to show the S-Ranks supposedly preparing for a raid. (8/10)

That was some great fight animation. So much power and speed, and well-directed so that I can see and understand what's happening. There was some quick thinking and character moments too, like when Jinwoo decides to swap to hand-to-hand combat, and the knight drops his sword.

The fight itself was somewhat disappointing, especially after so much "Igris" hype in the comments of the previous episodes. The opponent was just very strong and had a cool name, and that was it. He wasn't very interesting, in terms of design, skills and lore. He's just a knight in armor, and we don't know much else about him... They didn't even have to make him a full-fledged character; Dark Souls and Bloodborne bosses have so much character and hints at their lore, just through their look and their fighting style.

Also, the way they kept cutting to the Jeju expedition was very distracting and frustrating. It's just not relevant to the fight at all, why keep interrupting the action? I thought those cut-aways will reveal that the previous expeditions had some run-in with Igris before, but no... It's worse because I have no reason to care about these random S-rankers at all. If they want to build up to this Jeju thing, then they should do it properly, in its own time, not squeeze it in into a boss fight.

The cut-away to Jinwoo's sister and mother was more relevant, but it was also a weak and pretty transparent attempt to up the emotional stakes of the fight. On paper Jinwoo's doing this for his family, but there's just so little connection to be felt between those cardboard cut-out characters and this insane super-powered fight to the death. It would have been more believable if Jinwoo just focused on himself, his own journey to improve himself and break through this obstacle.

The way Jinwoo beat Igris was also rather anti-climactic; a "fluke", as he said it himself. A surprise stab in the eye, great. But the quest isn't technically completed yet, so I'll have to wait and see.

Such an intense battle, I like how Sung Jin Woo had to bet in that very moment to kill Igris as direct confrontation would definitely kill the former instead

Next week will be a legendary moment for him
