he didnt do the daily quest before starting the job change quest, that's why he was transported to the penalty zone. the store and recovery lock didnt apply in the penalty zone, so he was saved. as the old jinwoo said "luck is a factor in skill after all"
also alot of ppl miss this but him being in the penalty zone help him get his bonus point max out cuz the 4 hour was also added to his total time of the quest. That’s why he got an advance class shadow monarch
I think you misunderstood what happened when he summoned Igris. He didn’t release 11 of them because he needed so much space or power for Igris. He did it because at his current skill level he can only store 20 shadows. But he had already summoned 30 (he can summon 30, but only store 20). So he let 11 go to leave him one space for Igris. Each shadow, no matter how powerful, only needs one space.
As someone who hasn't read the LN, the anime really did make it seem like he needed to release 11 ghosts to make space for a single Igris. I mean, this is the introduction to all this stuff, and that sort of detail was skimmed through.
@@sergio_henrique yes, it might have been tricky - I guess it was a compromise between how much time they spent showing text on screen and pushing on with the action. Anyway, if you were confused, I hope I’ve been able to deconfuse you!
When Jinwoo figured out the mages were the real target, he used his stealth skill to force them to reveal their position! In the previous episode, when he used stealth the mages all cast a detect/see invisibility spell, hence the magic eyes above their heads. He used their own ability against them!
@phantomunspectr8185 the eyes appeared over the casters heads! Though in the case of our MC, even just revealing their numbers is a signed death warrant for them lol
@@shalltearfallen the first arise never wasn't so strong in the manhwa too, u guys are expecting the same arise as the other more ahead of the Manhwa that's why. The studio choosed to do it differently with chairman speech and it was good enough.
11:48 Ange : "Why is this character so sick... why is igris is so sick man"!!!! Carlie: "He is the GOAT..... Jin whoo can take on world with this GOAT"!!! We : "Bet he can"!!
Yes and i think most people don't realise how he exceeded the class threshold. It's because of the penalty zone. The time he spent inside the penalty zone counted on as the survive as long as possible quest that started after defeating igris so he had surrived for 4 hours and 26 mins in which 4 hours he spent in the penalty zone but those 4 hours added up in the quest. So damn lucky. Or probably the system wanted thay.
Crazy how he just seemed to be just a badass boss fight then after when he put his sword down aswell I had a sneaky geelong we might see more of him and I'm glad it was true, even his name igris the bloodred is just badass in general, reminds me of elden ring
LET'S GOOO CARLIE & ANGE! Second 2 (or technically S1 cour 2) will be out in the fall. They've also said that they plan for 6 seasons (or 3 seasons, and 2 cours each) which honestly is a perfect length. Finally, we have... the start of the *new* Shadow Monarch! (heh heh) Let's GO!
I've only read the Mahnwa and if they adapt Jeju in the 2nd cour, then only half of the Mahnwa's left. I know the 2nd season of the Mahnwa is rushed compared to the Novels. But is it that rushed?
@@Shallow666 a bit. The health of Dubu gotten worse drastically which is the reason for it being rushed. He only died a few months after finishing the Manhwa. 6 cours definelty a lot, you could easily adapt the whole story with 4
Where do you get that info from? Official was nothing confirmed except part 2. Everything else is just rumours and so far these rumours sad it was planned for October 2024 but it will get delayed to apparently January 2025. Also the 6 cour thing isn't finally decided yet either.
To clear some stuff up: Yes the Ants were limited to Jeju Island because, they could not leave the island, with Evolving Wings the Threat of the Island skyrockets. Jeju Island is the only S-Rank Gate, that could never be closed. Jin-woo didn't got saved by the system, but he haven't finished his daily quest before giong into the dungeon. He was that long in the dungeon, that the Timelimit got exceeded and so he got the Panelty. Its more like, he ahs ultimative luck. Yes Skills can Level, so the shadows can as well, we have seen this with other skills, that level in the course of the season.
This was insane, luckily I didn't get spoiled, I didn't know he could get a necromancer like skill, I thought he could be a dagger guy like Thorfinn 😂 it's already over, I'm sad, it should have more episodes, it's like it started weeks ago and it's over 😔 at least they announced season 2, I hope they're treating the animators in a good way, so we can get another banger of animation 😊
Also, the fact that thr animations looks better and better as he progresses is just a chefs kiss, because I was a bit shocked at how weird it looked at the very start and then slowly it just got better and better
i have read the manwha , was really hype when they annouced and finally animated the series, The voice actors did a great job and music and animations ! Arise ! things are going to be hype in the next season !! really great that you guys reacted in this series aswell ! Stay safe and hydrated !
When Jinwoo said he won’t be Solo Leveling anymore, he meant it in a sense that his Shadow Army will be leveling with him. Thus, he’s not fighting and leveling just himself from now on. Season 1 was definitely the prologue. Season 2 is where things get more interesting and more into the world. This is so freakin’ exciting!
I thought it really cute when he apologised to the 11 shadows before releasing them. He seems almost affectionate towards the spirits he has raised, not regarding them just as ‘things’. Like the way he appealed to Igris as a person to raise him.
The studio really did a great job animating this first part as some kind of prologue. Specially with that final speech from Chairman Go Gun-hee. I'm so excited for the 2nd cour. This is the same feeling I got when reading the manhwa back when it was still in its 60th to 80th episodes and I had to go straight to the novels to know what happens next lmao. There's more to come and it only gets better. See you guys on the next cour.
It took us 12 episodes but solo leveling has finally started 🔥 Some information: Solo leveling season 2 (cour 2) plans to start airing later this year and the anime is being planned for 6 seasons (I'm guessing a total of six cours)
It isn't clear in the show, but his shadows work on a strict head count. He initially raised 30 shadows (his current limit) but he can only *store* 20 currently, so he released the ones he wouldn't be able to store, plus one more to make room for Igris.
Guys Have U all noticed that Up until now the system always refered jinwoo as second person like "You have completed or will you accept" like that But from the moment he become shadow monarch the system started to refer jinwoo in 1st person like "I've completed the quest.Or will I Aceept" I don't know it's just a theory of mine,But is the system actually a person who is taking over jinwoo?
Bro, they showed that jinwoo upgraded to "Shadow Monarch" from "Necromancer". This class is very very important in accordance with final arch. So you need to remember that he is a Monarch(Shadow Monarch) and not just any measly necromancer.
excited for jeju islad arc . I feel nostalgic 3.5 years jeju island arc was going on in manhwa and now in probably 9-10 months it is going to be animated
lol I love all the theory talk at the end of the episodes this is the same thing me and my brothers do when we watch a new series it's the most fun thing about watching a new show
With respect to your question about the gates, there is an answer eventually about the origins of the gates, but I believe we are many seasons out from that appearing in the show.
Necromancer: Magic that can control the dead and manipulate them As for Jinwoo also being on the frontlines and still fighting himself as he said in the episode there's no rule saying a necromancer cant fight on their own as well so he will continue to fight whilst this army fights as well
What I find interesting is something the anime nor the manwha explained but the light novel did is that Jinwoo feels a connection with the shadows as soon as they “arise” so that’s why he apologises to send them back to nothingness
You guys are missing how the penalty zone happened? They were teasing it all last episode. Him mentioning the daily quest before going in, flashing to his sister and deliberately showing the clock throughout the episode to know that it was closing in on midnight as he was fighting. The foreshadowing was all there
Love your reactions. This was my first anime reaction to watch on your channel and I need to watch 86 now because I saw you already did too. To clarify: the penalty quest was indeed luck. The system was about to watch him die. It wants him to win but is also cruel as you can likely tell. He got seriously lucky. Notice when they panned to his sister they showed the clock. I like how they do that to show what time it is in the real world. The penalty quest always kicks in at midnight. When he was in the hospital he was gone from 12-4.
funny that from this point on, all we gonna be thinking about is killing and arising everything lmao. 2nd szn gonna be so packed hope we get a few extra eps in. Please see the teaser trailer. dripwood takes over
Like Jin Woo said : there's no rule saying a Necromancer can't fight in the front lines, basically, he'll just have to up his intelect stats and get more mana so he can use the ''magic'' powers that come with it. Also there's a difference between ''title'' and class. He was given Necromancer, which transformed into Shadow Monarch which is a higher stage, beyond Necromancer. He can still use the title : ''wolf slayer'', for example, when dealing with certain types of beasts. Basically, the title just gives him a little buff or advantage in certain ways, while his given class allows him to use certain magical abilities, like summoning the dead, as is the case. Hope that clears it up :)
to sum up even more... Classes gives you a new type of Skills ... most of them Active skills... and some Passive skills... Titles gives you EXCLUSIVELY Passive BUFFS... just like the "wolf slayer" one where he deals more damage to Wolf type monsters... you can expect other damage% buffs to other type of monsters and even the juicy "ALL STAT +" passive buff
@@mr.dripwoo5435yeah both have their own personalities, Igris is more chivalrous and reserved, he shows his loyalty like a ture knight serving it's king. While beru has more of a strong and animalistic personality, he shows his "loyalty" by glazing Jinwoo and he takes any disrespect towards Jinwoo as a personal offense, even getting to the point of wanting to kill them.
The system tried to start him on a journey as a necromancer, but he collected so many points on this mission (nobody could have lasted 4hours there, lucky him for receiving a penalty at the right time) and the exceeding score was so high that necromancer was a very low-level class for that many points, which is why he job-leveled-up all the way to the greatest class of summoning: the Shadow Monarch. In short, Jinwoo's class is not Necromancer, his class is Shadow Monarch.
That sounds cool but what’s the difference? The way he summoned all those shadows, would he not be able to do it if he was a Necromancer? If it’s going to be explained later on, then don’t tell. But if it’s something we need to know now, do tell.
I think your theory can be summed up almost as if, "whenever Jinwoo levels up, so does the portals (creatures)". As though they're leveling up with him!🔥🤯 Y'all are onto something there; cause once Ange mentioned that, I immediately thought of like EVOLUTION and how Jinwoo is also somewhat "evolving" I'm a newbie to the show but by bf has read the manga so I'm always trying to guess what's going on and he gives nothing away😂! But this theoy may be completely bonkers😂 reminding me of the AOT journey and how our minds kept spinning just in szn 1
@@noobmaster221tt9Sadly people have opinions and sometimes those opinions suck lol. The story isn’t even that simple, it’s definitely not groundbreaking and thought out like something like HxH but it’s definitely above Demon Slayer like you said in terms of actual plot. Honestly if DS didn’t have the god tier animation it does, that anime wouldn’t get the time of day whatsoever by anyone lol.
"Where is it leading him though?" Huh to concise it all its leading him to where it all started. Jinwoo merely adapted the darkness there was someone who was actually born in it.
What determines whether a corpse can be made into a shadow-soldier, is dependent on how strong they were and how long its been since they died. For example, if you had a super strong enemy that died years ago, you couldn't make it a soldier. It would fail all three times. Igris was nearly at that point. Over 4 hours had passed since he died, and he was an S-rank enemy. If Jin Woo had the Shadow Monarch powers right after he died, it likely would have succeeded on the first attempt.
Just to clarify, the fact that he survived and teleported on the brink of death was because of his daily quest penalty, not because of some intervention. Great reaction guys😊
Ange is such a classic dragon ball z guy. If there’s one thing I can really trust him with it’s determining a good quality battle cry/screams. VA pops off for real
I loved your discussion after the episode end. Unlike reactors who are reacting just to ride the hype train you guys are genuinely interested in the story and trying to theoris many thing with minimal clues. Keep it up❤️
This series blew my expectations, as a Manhwa reader. This was, to me, a perfect adaptation. Masterpiece. They added scenes that fleshed out the world. They cut out some of the parts that wouldn't really fit the tone the Anime was going for (all the chibi comedic moments from the Manhwa). But they left all the important character moments and adapted the fights nearly 1:1 10/10 adaptation. Zero complaints.
Fun fact : the jeju island raid is not even mentioned in the manhwa and the characters too . Jeju island arc will probably be in season 3 and its not only hyped its worth the hype🔥
@@denjiiiyttyooo244 nah bro not even close.. In 2nd season we will be starting with the red gate which will take atleast 3 episodes. Later is the demon castle arc which will eventually take about 4 episodes and then we have the arc where jinwoo saves the A rank team from the monsters which will take 4 episodes. Which will be the end of 2nd season bro.
@@yeagerist4145 if they follow the manhwa to a T maybe but they already shown us that they dont mind skipping some matters... like the manhwa readers didnt saw who the Association President until like the middle of the manhwa.. but in the anime he appears immediatly ... they might stretch out the episodes (which i dont mind at all btw) if they indeed intend to make more than 2 Seasons but they also need to cut some unnecessary stuff from the manhwa to make due ... lets just hope they get enough financing to make alot of Seasons :D
@@quantumphayerIt's clear they're following the LN more than the Manwha, especially with giving him the title of Shadow Monarch at Job change rather than Shadow Lord, which likely means Fang instead of Tusk

Perfect timing, I've just finished watching the episode (:
"we're adding rizz, carlie. that's precisely what we are doing" ur not wrong 😂😂
You finished the Proloque, with the next season Solo Leveling can finally start :D
Love your reactions. This was my first anime reaction to watch on your channel and I need to watch 86 now because I saw you already did too.
To clarify: the penalty quest was indeed luck. The system was about to watch him die. It wants him to win but is also cruel as you can likely tell. He got seriously lucky.
Notice when they panned to his sister they showed the clock. I like how they do that to show what time it is in the real world. The penalty quest always kicks in at midnight. When he was in the hospital he was gone from 12-4.
funny that from this point on, all we gonna be thinking about is killing and arising everything lmao. 2nd szn gonna be so packed hope we get a few extra eps in. Please see the teaser trailer. dripwood takes over
Like Jin Woo said : there's no rule saying a Necromancer can't fight in the front lines, basically, he'll just have to up his intelect stats and get more mana so he can use the ''magic'' powers that come with it.
Also there's a difference between ''title'' and class. He was given Necromancer, which transformed into Shadow Monarch which is a higher stage, beyond Necromancer.
He can still use the title : ''wolf slayer'', for example, when dealing with certain types of beasts.
Basically, the title just gives him a little buff or advantage in certain ways, while his given class allows him to use certain magical abilities, like summoning the dead, as is the case. Hope that clears it up :)
to sum up even more... Classes gives you a new type of Skills ... most of them Active skills... and some Passive skills... Titles gives you EXCLUSIVELY Passive BUFFS... just like the "wolf slayer" one where he deals more damage to Wolf type monsters... you can expect other damage% buffs to other type of monsters and even the juicy "ALL STAT +" passive buff
im glad you guys are one of the few reactors who ask “wheres the system leading him to though” (non verbatim)
Season 2 won't focus on Jeju Island, But on the Hwang's younger brother and the demon castle tower
Hwang shows up around the Jeju arc then disappears again until the Conference arc?
He was seriously underused in the LN
@@zach1972 they should make him just as badass as Manhwa, at first I liked him when he shows up to the red dungeon
That other jinwo in manhwa is scary when he see his older self
Jin Woo said "Arizz"
Yeah Igris cool, but wait until meet Beeru
What's cool about beru LOL ?
Igris is more badass and cool
@@mr.dripwoo5435yeah both have their own personalities, Igris is more chivalrous and reserved, he shows his loyalty like a ture knight serving it's king.
While beru has more of a strong and animalistic personality, he shows his "loyalty" by glazing Jinwoo and he takes any disrespect towards Jinwoo as a personal offense, even getting to the point of wanting to kill them.
@@Gheniel_ beeru got personality and igris is cool but rigid
@@suryakisku3895 yeah beru is funny in his own way
beru is korean drama boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the crazy thing is that igris is not his strongest shadow in his army 😮💨
This was legit my fav anime episode of this year 🤌🏻
This anime feels so much like devil may cry! Specially last 2 episodes. I love it so much. I am sure they took some inspiration from it
Me next season:
Its strong! Let's kill it and keep it!
He is upgraded to shadow monarch (this is very important) because he surpassed the threshold.
the system is not the one who save him like that .. he just didn't do hi daily quest and get to the penalty zone like he did in the 2nd episode
Igris didn’t stick around long enough 😂
The system tried to start him on a journey as a necromancer, but he collected so many points on this mission (nobody could have lasted 4hours there, lucky him for receiving a penalty at the right time) and the exceeding score was so high that necromancer was a very low-level class for that many points, which is why he job-leveled-up all the way to the greatest class of summoning: the Shadow Monarch. In short, Jinwoo's class is not Necromancer, his class is Shadow Monarch.
That sounds cool but what’s the difference? The way he summoned all those shadows, would he not be able to do it if he was a Necromancer? If it’s going to be explained later on, then don’t tell. But if it’s something we need to know now, do tell.
lol i noticed all the ladies love Igris
There is no death for shadow monarch- he is the owner of domain of death
One other thing to mention is the "past" version of himself is intended to look like the god statue.
Carlie responsible for the water damage on the floor
Tarps from the dollar store. Cheap and easy to clean by hosing it off. Just sayin'.
13 more episodes coming in Fall. Can't wait for some of the best moments yet to come. 😉
I think your theory can be summed up almost as if, "whenever Jinwoo levels up, so does the portals (creatures)". As though they're leveling up with him!🔥🤯
Y'all are onto something there; cause once Ange mentioned that, I immediately thought of like EVOLUTION and how Jinwoo is also somewhat "evolving"
I'm a newbie to the show but by bf has read the manga so I'm always trying to guess what's going on and he gives nothing away😂!
But this theoy may be completely bonkers😂 reminding me of the AOT journey and how our minds kept spinning just in szn 1
for those bothered by the “simple plot”, next cour delves a lot more into what the system and dungeons are imo!
I can't understand that people saying SL has simple plot. Demon slayer is more simpler story than SL.
@@noobmaster221tt9Sadly people have opinions and sometimes those opinions suck lol. The story isn’t even that simple, it’s definitely not groundbreaking and thought out like something like HxH but it’s definitely above Demon Slayer like you said in terms of actual plot. Honestly if DS didn’t have the god tier animation it does, that anime wouldn’t get the time of day whatsoever by anyone lol.
The King, The Monarch has RETURNED!!!
"Where is it leading him though?" Huh to concise it all its leading him to where it all started. Jinwoo merely adapted the darkness there was someone who was actually born in it.
What determines whether a corpse can be made into a shadow-soldier, is dependent on how strong they were and how long its been since they died. For example, if you had a super strong enemy that died years ago, you couldn't make it a soldier. It would fail all three times.
Igris was nearly at that point. Over 4 hours had passed since he died, and he was an S-rank enemy. If Jin Woo had the Shadow Monarch powers right after he died, it likely would have succeeded on the first attempt.
Just to clarify, the fact that he survived and teleported on the brink of death was because of his daily quest penalty, not because of some intervention. Great reaction guys😊
Ange is such a classic dragon ball z guy. If there’s one thing I can really trust him with it’s determining a good quality battle cry/screams. VA pops off for real
Arise ❤ finally
The Shadow Monarch 😍 Solo Leveling starts now.
Finally the man says arise and becomes truly op.
9:39
Pov: That moment when you realize why every comment since episode one has been saying Arise!
I loved your discussion after the episode end. Unlike reactors who are reacting just to ride the hype train you guys are genuinely interested in the story and trying to theoris many thing with minimal clues. Keep it up❤️
Been waiting for this reaction! ❤
this season feels like prologue or start before real action start
This series blew my expectations, as a Manhwa reader. This was, to me, a perfect adaptation. Masterpiece. They added scenes that fleshed out the world. They cut out some of the parts that wouldn't really fit the tone the Anime was going for (all the chibi comedic moments from the Manhwa). But they left all the important character moments and adapted the fights nearly 1:1
10/10 adaptation. Zero complaints.
Shadow monarch is here👑🔥
Fun fact : the jeju island raid is not even mentioned in the manhwa and the characters too . Jeju island arc will probably be in season 3 and its not only hyped its worth the hype🔥
nah jeju island will be season 2 not everything is same with mahwa
@@denjiiiyttyooo244 nah bro not even close.. In 2nd season we will be starting with the red gate which will take atleast 3 episodes. Later is the demon castle arc which will eventually take about 4 episodes and then we have the arc where jinwoo saves the A rank team from the monsters which will take 4 episodes. Which will be the end of 2nd season bro.
@@yeagerist4145 if they follow the manhwa to a T maybe but they already shown us that they dont mind skipping some matters... like the manhwa readers didnt saw who the Association President until like the middle of the manhwa.. but in the anime he appears immediatly ... they might stretch out the episodes (which i dont mind at all btw) if they indeed intend to make more than 2 Seasons but they also need to cut some unnecessary stuff from the manhwa to make due ... lets just hope they get enough financing to make alot of Seasons :D
@RankaiSolutions That's just the Manwha, the LN has him as Shadow Monarch from here onwards
@@quantumphayerIt's clear they're following the LN more than the Manwha, especially with giving him the title of Shadow Monarch at Job change rather than Shadow Lord, which likely means Fang instead of Tusk
“This series had many potential for good moments” oh believe me if we get more episodes there will be countless such moments
ARISE BOMBACLADDDDDDDDD
The side characters will come soon in the next part, in this season they just wanted to focus on sung.
