I'm not going to lie after this ep i went and bought the first ten books on amazon kindle and have already read them... this is my favorite anime now 100000%

El

Praying for frieren

Ron Jackson Jr

dude fr stein gate a banger i think Carter and Jack will like it.

Nivek

After this episode I absolutely had to read a bit but I did start on “season two” just see the art and what not, anyway an important distinction between the Blessed Random Loot Boxes and the Cursed Loot Boxes is that the blessed one will give you whatever you want and the cursed one will give you whatever you need… just got me thinking who or what is determining that 🧐

Nonos

Wish it was steins gate, they love time travel especially Carter and it starts slow but one of the best fs

diavolo

We don’t know yet it’s supposed to be a surprise

Ron Jackson Jr

diavolo

Cryptcat

Cryptcat

SamurEye

Huewi

Day 1 of saying I might need to create a new juicy tier account just to watch those reactions (need my legacy tier). Also I appreciate the reply :)

Illumi

blue lock manga is sooo good so its such a shame the animation was a let down, nontheless I think I would still be just as excited for the geks to watch it as Kurokos basketball tbh

kiiturii

you ignored 80% of what I said :D

_Wyvernn

Man I love this community, I've been seeing tons of you guys putting out theories about what you think will happen and its so nice to see that nobody is ruining it for you. I'm sure there are plenty of other people here who have read the manhwa, but none of them are messing up these theories by saying what really happens, so thanks guys.

_Wyvernn

What they didnt show from the manhwa was that when he got that key at the end he was actually given the option to get anything from the shop for free and he chose to buy the cursed random loot box instead of some super OP weapon worth millions.

Ladnon

you guys should react to the maze runner series

Yo Dani

not gonna agree or deny, all im gonna say is that you're not ready for whats to come xd

Zipzzty

Yeah i would want to see the reactions cause it only Has Hype

Studio Geck

Day 1 of saying it will be posted this week for juicy patrons

Huewi

Day 1 of asking if the boys will be uploading the Violet Evergarden reactions from the Juicy Tier watch parties (please I need it).

Cryptcat

Blue Lock season 1 is great, season 2 is still solid with its unfortuante animation, has insanely hype moments, and is very opposite of Haikyu so it would be really interesting to see since they finished it now

Zipzzty

No please Not Mid Lock Ao Ashi, Knb, Hajime No Ippo would all be better

Ryze

blue lock 🥲

Ladnon

I like that theory a lot! I had one that placed Jinwoo as the final boss, the king statue made him the player so that he could be the strongest boss, which is why there has been moments where the system threatens him with death if he shows weakness. Just my thoughts while watching thus far as well.

Ron Jackson Jr

dude ur him

ApacheSlays

what if jinwoo was actually the opp putting in work for that godly creature unknowingly thats why the ice elfs didnt attack him because hes technically on there team and jinwoos father being in a gate 10 years has figured out that there was this boss who can summon the dead that he needs to stop before its too late not knowing its his own son? just my thoughts while watching thus far

Ron Jackson Jr

yep this!!!!

G

KUROKOS BASKETBALL next sport anime yall would love

Agent September 🏴‍☠️

new cinema gek movie today?

hugoruix

every father on anime is voiced by the same dude or wtf is going on?

LaYami・砂漠の子

tbh imo I think Jinwoo is gonna be the villain in this story, or at least maybe "portrayed" as the villain, his father is clearly talking about him and I think with the subtle foreshadowing that jinwoo is slowly losing his humanity is a sign to that

cade-carter

because its vague on how strong he actually is. He thought A rank was slightly to much for him last seasons, but he fought the elves who easily beat an A rank and just went through this whole thing and has his whole army. We also havent been told anything about how far along in A rank he is. i think its clear he isnt actually S yet but its not stated and he is packing up A rank stuff like its nothing

LaYami・砂漠の子

"That rat got piped!" "jinwoo's dad packed him up" hahaha I laughed so hard

Gobbo

Just use a VPN and you can still access the app fine

kuza

how does brig possibly think jin woo is stronger than his dad at this point 😭 no way right

kai

from the rune skill he got after beating Igris its basically telekinesis

Ron Jackson Jr

i mean if we dont know give us a explanation then

yio

You guys also gotta remember that A rank who Jinwoo one shot with Igris was tired, starving and going insane. He was probably at like 10-20% of his power right before he died.

Hayden Ton

How do y'all still not know rulers hand lmao

Bambina

It’s so weird to open TikTok and not see the Americans, we miss you!

Yo Dani

you guys are not ready for this manwha xd i cant wait for season 3 to be animated lol.. this season is still just the beginning xDD sadly they will stop again with a big cliffhanger

Sanji

In a dialogue they skipped, it said that Jin Woo’s level was almost hitting S-tier.

Kyle

better be peak then with the extra week 😂

Yo Dani

im surprised you guys didnt pick up on the name Sung after they made sure to mention it twice lol

JuancaMX

The first trip was pretty fast in the manhwa too, maybe you are thinking of the second trip when he meets the Demon Clans and fights Baran? that is after the hunters guild arc and right before jeju. I didnt really notice any scenes getting removed, maybe just Iron bringing him the fat demon head, which ones are you talkin about?

Shadow

Lmao I knew when I typed that out shi was going to happen

stako

you guys are going to absolutely love the next episode lol

Sanji

When you cut key dialogue just to make time for an anime-only swimsuit gooner scene 😔

Sanji

They are cutting some stuff but honestly it feels very organic. Goated adaptation.

stako

I agree, but I think they're doing it perfectly. They're giving us the best moments in the short span of an episode. Plus they had to fit a certain part at the end of the season. I'll take that over some small scenes.

stako

yeah... Lions football...

Moon

To be perfectly honest, I'd recommend you guys (the Geks, or any other anime-only fans so far) to read the manhwa for Solo Leveling. Of course, for the Geks, it'd be best if they only read the corresponding chapters to the anime after the entire season is aired, but for others, I think this is a great way to bolster the experience provided by the anime through absorbing one of the original art forms it was in. (IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW WHERE TO READ IT LEMME KNOW HAHA) Solo Leveling doesn't have too much dialogue to begin with, since it's mostly action, but there are a lot of small details that are excluded due to the nature of anime as a medium and due to the studio's decisions to keep Solo Leveling as serious as possible. The manhwa is honestly a treasure trove for gamers who really want to understand the mechanics of all his skills, what they do for him exactly, and how he uses them by wracking his brain at the last minute every time he's on the verge of getting heavily injured. ->In this episode, you'd find it difficult to see why Jinwoo used Ruler's Hand the way he did to avoid Vulcan's club in mid air. But he did so because even though he can't push Vulcan away since his proficiency with the skill is still too low for huge objects, he CAN use the recoil from the action of pushing Vulcan to propel himself backward and avoid getting hit by the club. Jinwoo explains his thoughts in the manhwa, but because it would be too hectic in the anime and too slow for them to animate his thoughts, they settled for showing it (which you might understand after a few watches, but definitely does not do justice to his thought process).

Moon

Another detail that wasn't brought up in the episode was: Jinwoo's dad was brought in to the Federal Bureau of Hunters in the US, where he sat in that interrogation room until Hwang Dongsoo arrived to act as an interpreter. However, in that scene, Hwang Dongsoo is actually tasked with determining whether or not Il-hwan (the second letter is an L btw) is a magic beast or a human. Of course, we know that Il-hwan is a human, because Jinwoo mentioned in season 1 episode 1 that his dad had gone missing, and because his files show that Jinwoo is his son. BUT, in the manhwa, once Hwang Dongsoo realises that Jinwoo is his son, he purposefully provokes Il-hwan by telling him Jinwoo is dead (which he fully believes, because he thinks Jinwoo died in the Red Gate), so that he can label him as a magic beast if he attacks him. So basically, he's a petty s-o-a-b who couldn't get his revenge on Jinwoo personally so now he's using Jinwoo's dad as some sort of replacement for his vengeance by labelling him a threat to humanity and trying to get him killed. But ofc, that works out horribly, cause Jinwoo's dad is strong asf. Also, Il-hwan used to be a hunter. In the manhwa, Hwang Dongsoo even says that with the achievements he got before he went missing, he would have been ranked pretty high. The reason he wasn't known much was because ten years ago, the concept of ranking systems still hadn't made their debut yet since that was when gates first started appearing, so Il-hwan most likely didn't stand out back then, but he was apparently still really strong.

Moon

I know the anime is trying its best to keep the pacing quick but still understandable, I thought you guys would like to know some of the details that were left out here but were in the manhwa: The male hunter who survived the Red Gate incident together with Heejin, the mage with green eyes, and Songyi, the high school girl Jinwoo brought along, was actually supposed to be the one who informed Jinho's father about Jinwoo's involvement in the Red Gate incident. That's how Jinho's father deduced that Jinwoo was a possible S-rank hunter and that Jinho probably got his help to get his guildmaster's license. Hwang Dongsoo is actually Korean and he would have been one of South Korea's S-rank hunters had he not immigrated to the US to be one of its hunters. The reason he left Korea behind (and "betrayed his country", which Woo Jinchul mentions in the manhwa) was because one of America's largest guilds, the Scavenger Guild, scouted him and offered him better benefits than what South Korea probably provided him (this is mentioned in the manhwa at an earlier point). That's why when first see him, he's in the US, not Korea, and he had to travel back and forth for his revenge for his brother.

Andrea Perez

You guys should react to Yellowjackets I think you guys would really like that show

lololol

"it was busting" - carter, 2025

Ron Jackson Jr

chill out babe im soz i didnt get 1st

Wickerx Nanana

I'm not mad at the pacing, I don't think much about it as of right now, but I am however underwhelmed by certain scenes that could of been done better Imo. We will see how the pacing of season 2 turns out when the whole season is out, only by then can we judge how good the season turned out. My biggest concerns after seeing this episode however are the small details that they left out, not all of them are too important but, really good and fun to know, some adds more to the hype and some more to the suspense, which makes the whole experience just better.

Solo

i personally think the pacing is fine, i see a lot of people complain (not saying you're complaining) about the anime leaving stuff out from the manhwa, but then forget that the manhwa left out stuff from the light novel, personally if you want more from the solo leveling anime read the manhwa if you want more from the manhwa read the light novel, all are great.

Wickerx Nanana

It will come next episode when Hwang is in the hospital

DerekSniper30

Red hair guy is the Hunters Guild and Red Gate guy with the claws is White Tiger Guild.

Wickerx Nanana

Hmmm, pacing seems kinda a little fast (Yes I have read the whole thing like 3 times) Vulcan and Metus fight was kinda a little underwhelming compared to the manhwa. Confrontation between Jinwoos dad and Hwang could of been better too. Also the conversation between Jinho and his dad, there was supposed to be a third person coming to tell the dad something but I guess it's not too bad of a remake of the scene. I seriously hope this doesn't become another God of Highschool kind of pacing. Good episode but could of been better Imo. I recommend you guys read the missing parts that the anime left out just so you can enjoy and understand more. The manhwa is sick, it's also like watching the anime anyway but with way more info and proper pacing lol.

Seth Aasland

another awesome episode. on a side note, everyone offer a moment of silence for Tiktok 😭💙

mina

true. or they could read up to where the anime left off after season 2 finishes airing. just for the extra information anime left out

Dakota

Hoo boy your guys' theories are too funny lol I feel like I'm watching you guys react to AoT all over again. It's a wild ride fellas, strap in. It's only up from here

TT1000

But some of the VAs can speak other languages. Look at some of the other anime that make up languages for their shows, some anime have other languages spoken along with Japanese and include Japanese subtitles like Durarara.

Zipzzty

After they’re done with the Anime and all seasons have aired. Can’t ruin the anime reactions

mina

gosh it would be so fun if you guys would do a video of you reading the manhwa or maybe a livestrem on twitch or something

Sasha

Brig is glazing Jinwoo with the same intensity as Carter glazes Kobe and Shaq duo

Zipzzty

Paul Ahn

W video like always. Would love if y'all reacted to Steins gate next 🙏

Thomas Holman

Great post episode discussion … y’all are on the right track!

Michael H

Probably because they flipped it to Western-style order of naming when they read it off. They’re used to hearing Sung Jinwoo, rather than Jinwoo Sung.

Ant just watching

I love that we getting like lore bro

DeadLotus

Ok, cool! Guess I'll reread it to get the order of the arcs right. & I really like the demon castle arc 😭😭 what a shame. But my biggest irk is removing certain scenes like I understand for anime it may not fit but I wanted to see everything animated.

rene

yeah i can understand how anime only watchers can get confused watching this without all the little “notifications” popping up and letting you know what’s happening and what skills are being used as well as updates to his level and skill progression. it’s hard to just keep track of just based on visuals

Zipzzty

Musashi from Vagabond

SeCo D. Raw

damn what a pacing lol, that was like 5 chapters here they mainly cut out some dialogues, some less interesting but others nice to get more out of a character, for example jinwoos father they cut out more prep stuff from other guilds but maybe they put them in later? seems like they are rushing as fast as possible to the big action parts of the story, kinda sad

JuancaMX

The power scaling will be explained in the next couple episodes (not fully tho), so feel free to skip the next pharagraph If you wanna find out organically. S rank is basically from certain power level to infinity, one S class can be far stronger than another. The mana measuring device used for ranking hunters can only read up to a certain limit, and anyone who surpasses that threshold is classified as S rank. There is also a rank above S, but its given based on merits, since you can't really measure their levels they have accomplished extraordinary things which make them worth to get the title. Theres VERY few hunters with this title, I'm pretty sure you will meet at least one this season. Right now Jinwoo is the level of a mid tier S rank. When Jinwoo squared up against the redhead guy leader of the white tiger guild Jinwoo would've 100% lost.

kiiturii

says the kid saying first

Sasha

Lmao. When I watched Squid Game with my sister I was side eyeing whenever some important scene came up and of course many times had to rewind because she kept getting distracted by the food🤬

Vladimyr Blue

Do they still still write their predictions down?

kiiturii

very complicated from a production standpoint to have many big characters who speak multiple different languages, you'll just have to use your imagination. Also if they were to do that, they'd either have to change the setting entirely to japan, or make basically the whole anime korean dub. Same thing with Vinland, it wouldn't have a line of japanese

Elisa Kallai

I have to say tho, a good thing about having read the manhwa is that we can read all the little announcements or notifications when he uses a skill, gains something or when the enemy is getting buffed, so we know exactly what's happening. Shame it's not possible in the anime. Anyways if one of you has some free time on their hands and wants to, I do recommend reading the manhwa as well, as the anime advances. It'd make a more enjoyable experience; extra scenes that have been skipped, u can read all notifications,... (That goes for the Geks and the viewers too :) ). This is chapter 60 in the manhwa! (Technically the first half of 61 but only read till 60 to avoid spoilers)

rene

the pacing is feeling really fast with this episode. the covered “everything” but like are skipping lots of little details but next week is gonna cook so i’m still excited. maybe they’ll make it to jeju 🤷‍♂️

rene

I’m pretty sure this is right since it is just the introduction of his father

David Aranda

Yeah the dads reveal is right on pace, they just shortened the demon castle arc which is perfectly fine imo. Because at the end of the day him getting stronger isn’t the main plot.

Tokyo Ghoul Supremacist

Fr I keep coping that they’ll make a fate/zero style adaptation at some point. If they did both Tokyo Ghoul and Re right it would be massive

Shadow

SL and Lions football. What a Saturday

JuancaMX

Im pretty sure this is the correct chronology, they just squished a bit the first trip to the demons, which was short and not that important in the manhwa anyways.

DeadLotus

I say this every week (sorry) but the pacing wtf is going on😭 it's so fast and it's been a while but I'm pretty the dad arc wasn't supposed to appear until after the Japan arc. PLEASE READ THE MANHWA or just one of you so you can compare and see for yourselves

Aapo

I can't believe none of you picked up his last name was Sung same as Jinwoos when they first mentioned it😭

Philbo

it makes me sad too, my glorious one eyed king deserved so much better.

Hector

There is still manyyy hunters ahead of him

Hector

JW it's S tier at this moment, it's not mentioned but it's pretty clear... (not hindsighting here)

Hector

Solo peakling

Enma

I really like this season so far, but the pacing is a bit too fast imo. They're skipping over a lot of small details and other interesting and fun stuff.

TT1000

Yeah I wish they would just use different languages when they have those language speakers in the story. Was the same with Vinland season 1. Just takes you out of the moment when you don’t hear that. Now if everyone in the story spoke the same language and was still from another country but all we hear is Japanese, that’s fine.

Kyle

I hope they flashback to the fight but I like the fast pacing. they do it so well. dad intro and shows he still cares for his son

Philbo

just wanted to let you guys know that the fight between Hwang Dong-soo and the guy saying he is Jinwoo's Dad happened so fast it was off screened in the Manhwa as well so dont worry NOBODY got to see it lol

Enma

Every week, I watch this anime and can't help to ask myself, why Tokyo Ghoul couldn’t have received the same kind of adaptation. 😞

Qhoa

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! I wish we could get the remaining of the season, I can't wait!

kai

daddy is finally here

Redbone

Papa!

Brave Raccoon

I really like the fast pacing they have to include everything in the season. Though I feel sad some epic moments from manhwa/novel are missed, like how he came up with idea to request the second gift box from the system. This should be one of "he is cooking" moments
