Just to clarify, at this point there have been 9 South Koreans recognized as S-Rank hunters since they started measuring their mana. But Hwang Dongsoo defected to the US, reducing the number to 8 and Eunseok died in Jeju, reducing it to 7, but actually there's only 5 active S-Ranks, since the Chairman Go Gunhee doesn't go into dungeons at his age and Min Byung-Gyu is retired. Regarding gates and hunters, they are a global thing, and South Korea actually has a low concentration of S-Rank Hunters in comparison to countries like Japan or the US.
A couple ofthings to note: 1) The intelligence stat has to do with the ammount of mana he has not his actual intelligence. He briefly mentioned it before. 2) The gauntlets he got had a special effect to prevent hand injuries, thats why he was able to catch the sword. Anime didnt show this for some reason. 3) At his last hit vs Igris he activated the Fatal Strike skill a bunch of times which allows him to do critical damage to enemy's weak point
12:52 Here’s what the message said. The Job-Change Quest Begins Now! Survive as long as possible to earn advancement points. The longer you last, the more points you can collect can place you in a high class. Good Luck. The Job-Change Quest didn’t begin until AFTER Igris is slain.
Intelect is linked to mages since they have to study a lot to understand and master magic so... in games, it is the stat that usually gives access to more spells and increases mana, it doesn't have to be related to intelligence or being smart
@@kyskys8880 We saw in this episode that Jin-woo is a master baiter, luring Igris into the range of his lil' dagger and also getting it out of Igris' grip *(cough)* by re-summoning it.
16:01 Min Byung-gu is an S-Rank healer. If you go back and rewatch the first episode, you see him during the Jeju Island raid at the start of the episode. He was the guy who healed the random hunter after almost dying to an ant. Technically, he's the first S-Rank that's shown in the anime. 18:21 There are currently 7 S-Ranks in Korea. One of which is Go Gun-hee, the president of the Korean Hunter's Association. 4 of them are guild leaders of the top 5 guilds in Korea. Cha Hae-in is the only active duty S-Rank hunter in Korea that is not a guild master. She's the vice-guild master of the guild led by Choi Jong-in (the red-head with glasses that's going to Jeju in this episode).
..which is why only Byung-gyu and Hae-in were approached, since it would not make sense for the others, who already have their own guild/hunter association.
@@Lightkie I never said that he was gonna try to ask one of the other guild masters to drop their guild to join his. My comment was to answer the question of "Who is Min Byung-gu?" and to explain the power balance/dynamic and affiliations between the S-Ranks in Korea. I didn't mention Jinho's brother or him trying to recruit an S-Rank.
It's Jinho's brother that is lined up to lead the guild, Jinho just wants it to be himself and that's why he's trying to build a resume and recruit Jinwoo
You’ve seen Hunter Min Byung-Gu already in the first episode. He was the S rank healer who have since retired after the failed attempt at beating the S rank gate on Jeju Island, infested with the ants. There was a total of 9 S rank awakenings in Korea. One was recruited to America, Hwang Dungsoo and one died in the Jeju Island raid. Leaving them with 7 left in Korea, Min Byung-Gu being one but retired. And yes, the plane has only 2 S ranks, Choi and Cha Hae-in. Choi in the Hunter’s Guild guild master and Cha Hae-in in the Vice Captain. The rest are their main strike force members, all high leveled hunters probably in the B-A ranks.
@@fatehiakuyaok I will play the devil's advocate here: I dont think that's a major spoiler because it was said in the anime that the S rank healer Min Byung-Gu retired, and was heavily implied that the S rank hunter Eunseok (the eletric claw guy from ep 1) died in Jeju Island, it was implied in Baek Yonhoo memories between ep 7-9 if I remember correctly. The other details are not even spoiler, that's just some information the anime will never tell the watchers directly. The only spoiler there would be that there were 9 Korean S ranks, but I dont think that's a problem at all because we are not sure if they are gonna put this information in the anime. But we will only know when we get the second cour/second season.
@@Gheniel_ *SPOILER:* Of course they will mention the number of *South* Korean S-ranks when Jin-woo is making headlines (that you hear repeated in the opening) as the tenth S-rank after his second re-evaluation. It's also not a spoiler because it was already mentioned in episode 7 that there are currently only seven in the country: ruclips.net/video/u2oxTiEyXkw/видео.html We know Dong-soo is overseas and that Eunseok died, so that makes nine from South Korea.
19:18 They did not get into the details of it yet in the anime but in this show The whole world has their own guilds and hunter association meaning more S ranks around the world....I won't get into the specifics to avoid spoiling but yeah Korea ain't the only country with S ranks most of the countries globally have multiple S ranks and all the other ranks aswell!
7:10 Dani: "Look how big his sword is and he just has a little dagger!" Morgan: "I know, I wish his sword was longer." 7:59 "Look at how big the sword is against his, that's not fair!" 9:46 😂 9:12 Igris is just one translation, while you can clearly hear Jin-woo say at 12:19 the other from the original web novel: Ygritte, which *is* a female name (see Game of Thrones). 16:39 They mentioned Hwang Dong-soo as an example because he is the only South Korean S-rank who went overseas. 17:09 It was said that Yoojin Construction is trying to make a guild and by that of course Jin-ho's father, who gave that task to Jin-ho's brother (which he mentioned in episode 7).
I saw this whole Job Change thing as a Job Interview. What if every job interview was like that IRL? A lot of people would be either be dead or jacked as shit and have really good fighting skills. 🤣
every other mmorpg games has that kind of system with their classes, you need to go to job change class to advance to a higher class or the another one where you can change class to another class like assassin to knight
The intellect that you guys are talking about is not the intellect in solo leveling. In solo leveling, intellect is more just magic. The intellect you are talking about is that jinwoo needs to think of a way to get out of the battle. He already has that intellect with the dungeon of episode 1 as evidence.
12:21 Jinwoo can't level up because he's on the class change quest, this was said in the last episode, and he won't gain levels for killing mobs during the quest when it ends
There are 9 S-rank South Koreans - one defected (Hwang Dungsoo), one died (Eunseok), one retired (Min Byung-Gyu), one is too old to fight (Go Gunhee), meaning that there are 5 active S-rank hunters in South Korea. As a comparison, Japan has 21 S-ranks, all alive and active, and most of them are more powerful than the Korean S-ranks. Granted, Japan is 3000% the size of South Korea, but I think it's important to note that, as far as S-rank hunters go, South Korea is barely a country.
Intelligence isn't a SKILL, it's a STAT it's typically boosted for mage type builds in games, increasing magic damage and mana reserves to allow for stronger and more frequent spell casting
The producers apparently also said the animation level will increase alongside Jinwoo's progression of strength. As a LN/manhwa reader~ I can't wait to see what's to come!!
The anime seems to be omitting a lot of the minor details that would actually make showing the politics and S-rank status less confusing. I'm guessing they will eventually give the viewers those details later on, since this entire season 1 is still just part of the Prologue in the story.
the gates opened all over the world and the different nations all have a hunter stile guild set up controlled by their Government. the Guild like Hunters and White Tigers are owner and operated by individual S or A rank hunters licensed through the nations hunters guild's.
thx God Dani got it 16:44 sometimes they got lost on simple things, idk i even understand more even though I don't speak English😂, this was an amazing fight,,,,, Maybe I'm wrong but I think Jin Hoo already explained his reasons why he is doing the C level raids to get the license and motivate his father to give him leadership in the guild that his father and brother are trying to found
Igris reminds me of Artorias and Ornstein from Dark Souls. The fight scene was nuts, most definitely a major highlight and standout this season. The animation was very dope.
Hey Ladies. Great reaction as always. I'm not sure if you're open to non-anime shows but seeing your reactions to this anime makes me think you might be interested in "Physical 100." It's a Korean athletic competition show of men and women. Season 2 is out now but if you're interested in fit people competing and pushing their limits like in this Anime, it might be fun or worth looking into it.
The thought that sitting on the thrown means anything is beyond me. Never in history did just the act of sitting there mean something lol. So funny. But Igris is my fav. Love him and the battle.
Jinwoo: At least I got hands
Igris: *Throws aside his sword, cape, and knives* RUN IT

When Morgan said she wishes his sword was longer, I really felt that
The only reaction ive seen that somebody pointed out & focused on the daily workout he didnt do 👀
Min Byung-gu is the S rank healer from the first episode. He retired.
Yeah and that was said in the middle of one of the episodes, I think it was ep 7 or 8.
