Solo Leveling - Episode 9
Added 2024-03-10 02:55:24 +0000 UTCThis fight was crazy!
Comments
Not saying this is the case for sure in this anime, but it seems to me that whenever there is power scaling involved, the closer you get to the top, the larger the gaps in ability are. So there probably is a massive difference between someone at the bottom of A-rank and someone at the top of A-rank. Maybe Jinwoo is the bottom of A-rank right now and Woo Jinchul (the Surveillance member) is at the top of A-rank. Just like Kang was at the top of B-rank. So in this scenario, it is very possible for Jinwoo to be stronger than Kang but still much weaker than Woo Jinchul. Idk if that is for sure the scaling right now, but with his super high perception abilities I think Jinwoo can determine differences in strength pretty accurately.

2024-03-18 10:22:01 +0000 UTCThis anime feels different to your typical anime. The main character gets to near death conditions (where he should really die lol) and recovers fully and beats whatever he's fighting, it's happened like 5 times and there's only 9 episodes so far lmao But once I start looking at it like slime or one punch man I'm like ok it's not bad.

2024-03-12 20:48:22 +0000 UTCMurderous intent reduce the enemy stats by 50% for a few seconds while is active unless the enemy is too strong to be affected by it in comparison to Jin Woo, example , the fight against Cerberus, hence why he killed him easy at the end but if he didn't have that ability it would've been a more equal fight like it was at the beginning, also he has that recovery power that he can use once a day.

2024-03-11 19:42:04 +0000 UTCTo give more info on power level. There is many level to an rank. There is low b rank mid b rank and high b rank. The difference between and b rank and a rank is big. There is an difference between an low A rank and high A rank. They said one average S rank is stronger than 10 A rank.

2024-03-11 17:33:21 +0000 UTC17:50 Ron you remember when jinwoo killed the first time he gt the skill murderous intent. when active, an oppenent gets so scred he cant move for couple ofseconds. so it really came in handy now 19:04 just like he gets things from beasts he killed i really hoped he would get stealth from him when he defets him. now he can be killing without anyone noticing! pretty dope 23:35 jinwoo gave the only mana he could get from the double dungeon to her when told them to leave and he stayed behind, saying that he will come back for it. and apparently she kept it 24:30 he's a paid assasin he earns money this way. it would've been bad fot business if he killed him. he already scared the hit out of him for saying that he enjoys killing humans that guy would just shut his mouth but sure of his skills, so potential log time client

2024-03-11 07:27:56 +0000 UTCJin woo would be low A rank. The guy he said was strong is just stronger and would be a problem for that version of Jin woo as the B rank was around the same stats as Jin woo while he was probably debuffed by fatigue hence him getting faster after full recovery. That puts Jin at low tier A rank and it would mean high low tier, mid tier, and high tier rank A hunters are stronger than him still.

Cold_Cyber
2024-03-10 21:48:51 +0000 UTCRemember how angry Sung was when the rich kid even hinted at exposing his true power? I think you're underestimating how big of a deal it would be to him if he got exposed right now. That's why he didn't want to step out until he was sure the old man couldn't finish Kang.
Zonbi
2024-03-10 19:32:04 +0000 UTCI know you guys got frustrated with Jin not stepping in earlier, but you got to remember he is trying to hide his power. If Song could have taken Kang down would have been best for him. That's why he didn't step in till the very last moment.

2024-03-10 16:31:30 +0000 UTCIn the manga, this kang tae shik guy cuts the vocal cords of the inmates....so that he can prolong the torture and those guys would not be able to shout for help.... He was crazy..... And one of the inmates, actually was able to fool him by playing dead.....and jinwoo took that guy and tossed him to the dungeon to be ripped apart by the goblins..... Jinwoo waited for them to complete the killing before killing the dungeon boss😂

Ryu
2024-03-10 14:10:56 +0000 UTCWithout spoiling too much there are characters stronger than an S rank and it's even debatable if Sung Jin-woo is the strongest character in solo leveling, so he keeps fighting stronger and stronger opponents.

2024-03-10 12:45:30 +0000 UTCDefeating doesnt mean killing perse. Hes thinking like "what if my secret came out and they came for me? Well if it was this guy, i wouldnt stand a chance". His insight is already so high at this point that hes just scanning people around him to be on guard. Survival has been his priority for a while now

2024-03-10 12:23:24 +0000 UTCTo get the A Rank Guy to believe the Old man he should have said that he lost an arm while fighting Kang Taeshik hahha.
Ron Jackson Jr
2024-03-10 12:23:08 +0000 UTCthe real story only unfolds when he is at the top of the ladder i mean he is only b rank right know so u need to have alittle pations but still him becoming stronger is also very fun to watch as he becomes colder and colder
NamelessKing67
2024-03-10 12:21:24 +0000 UTCu need to have in mind if he coudnt recover he would have lost to kang and like u saw c rank is nothing in comparison to b its the same with a and s a whole different league
NamelessKing67
2024-03-10 12:17:38 +0000 UTCAah yeah forgot that, I was wondering why none of the prisoners were alive. But think they didn't want to show the full brutality of MC yet for new viewers.
Thamor
2024-03-10 11:20:24 +0000 UTCYeah this comment is just "believe me bro". There might be truth to what you said, but without any actual comment from makers of this solo leveling we will never know. You can think that way, as DB creator should get his respect and RIP Toriyama
Thamor
2024-03-10 11:19:21 +0000 UTCBy this point in the manhwa/novel it was explained, but the anime is glossing over it for some reason. There is an exponential difference between ranks.

2024-03-10 11:12:35 +0000 UTCNot necessarily cuz the same VA also does Inumaki from JJK
Yumaaa
2024-03-10 10:35:26 +0000 UTCThe jump in ranks are high as he said b rank can easily handle 3 c ranks. Also she said do you remember this. He gave to her and said he use it to buy them dinner.
Jordan
2024-03-10 09:58:11 +0000 UTCIm sure it just means that difference between B and A rank is a huge jump. Jinwoo is just a top tier B rank level hunter. Its not just him not believing in his own ability.

2024-03-10 09:29:27 +0000 UTCHey guys. I think you guys are going to love Great Teacher Onizuka. In this day and age, it has questionable jokes and storylines, but it touches upon several serious mental health issues. I think Ron would love this anime.
Wallace Best
2024-03-10 08:35:24 +0000 UTCi think this episode was written before he died tho
iu
2024-03-10 08:00:03 +0000 UTCpersonally, what I found odd about when he noticed that one guy being A rank, was that his first thought was 'I can't take him'. I find it pretty concerning that while interacting with people he's thinking about whether or not he can kill them.
Ben Stephenson
2024-03-10 07:46:09 +0000 UTCdamn i was really hoping theyd show the whole part from the manhua.. after the fight he tells them to leave hes gonna finish the dungeon.. and one of the prisoners was pretending to be dead and he fed him to the boss room zero remorse.

2024-03-10 06:41:36 +0000 UTCThe Crystal was the valuable Mana Crystal Jin-woo retrieved from the double dungeon, when he sent Joo-hee out of that dungeon he gave it to her in place of him taking her out to lunch.
Mike Jfrog
2024-03-10 06:30:48 +0000 UTCFrom what I've heard Jinwoo jumping in place is a tribute to the late Akira Toriyama (Dragonball Creator). The influence he has had on the World will never be forgotten.
Jimmy
2024-03-10 06:19:12 +0000 UTCif you think about the author's intent, the purpose of sung jin woo saying he can't beat woo jinchul is to show that he has more room to grows before he can beat an A rank. it's not like he can be the strongest right from the beginning. the purpose of his win vs kang juxtaposed with his evaluation of woo jinchul is to show that his power level is somewhere between those 2 people
iu
2024-03-10 05:55:06 +0000 UTCgreat reaction
원 지
2024-03-10 05:33:33 +0000 UTCEven within ranks there are different power levels. So even if Kang Taeshik was one of the top B Ranks, he wouldn't be able to take on even the "weakest" A Ranks. Woo Jinchul (inspector guy) is an A rank that could be the at the top of his rank. Since we saw him a few episodes ago have a sparring match with the S-Rank president of the Hunter's Association and holding his own. That's why jinwoo said he can't beat Woo Jinchul.

2024-03-10 05:20:24 +0000 UTCThe line "If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you" Ive heard that from Tokoyami in My Hero when he came up with his special attack.

Feignorance
2024-03-10 04:59:49 +0000 UTCAlso interesting part that was cut from this episode: after the whole fight and Jinwoo telling johee and Song to leave, he actually waits there, and we find out that one of the convicts is still alive and playing dead, but Jinwoo with his heightened senses knows this. He walks up to the convist telling him he knows he's still alive and drags him with him to the boss dungeon, where he emotionlessly throws him inside to fight the boss all by himself, and Jinwoo just watches from a distance seeing the convict get massacred while thinking "Kang Taeshik was scum, but he was right about one thing, you don't deserve to live either". It was a big decision that they cut this part out. I think its because they thought it would make Jinwoo way too ruthless, but I wish they kept it. I think it just makes Jinwoo such a badass, and in the webtoon, the convicts did way more than just assault their victim if you know what I mean, so they really deserved the worst lol

2024-03-10 04:50:31 +0000 UTCA rank is equal to like… 10 Bs? 100? It’s a no win scenario at Sung’s current level. He needs more experience.
Elicit
2024-03-10 04:48:47 +0000 UTCThe difference between B rank and A rank is soooo big you guys can’t even imagine
Wsgyan
2024-03-10 04:47:46 +0000 UTCI think sung is strong like a B rank that's close to a A rank I the dude that is a A rank is close to a S rank in terms of power that's why sung feels he can't touch him right now and remember Sung has won many tuff fights because he has inventory and the ability to heal himself with obviously leveling up he's like a player in a game getting stronger as time goes by but he is not one punch man lol

Sogeking74
2024-03-10 04:31:02 +0000 UTCSo the rankings in this are on an exponential scale. The higher you go up the scale, the bigger the difference in power is. This is just an example and probably not exact at all, but it gives an idea. A D-Rank could probably take on 3-6 E ranks. A C-Rank could Take on maybe 10-15 D-Ranks. You saw that B-Rank Kang had zero issues taking down those C-Ranks. Song couldn't even really hurt him with the surprise fire attack. A B-Rank could probably take a couple dozen C-Ranks out. An A-Rank could take on a well over 50 B-Ranks. And there's probably no amount of A-Ranks that could ever take out an S-Rank. The gap in power is just to large at that point. To add on to that, the higher up you go in the scale the bigger the different within the class becomes. All the E-Ranks are *generally* around the same level. Same with D-Rank with a little more wiggle room. You can tell from the show that there is some noticeable difference once you get to C-Rank. Some are considered quite strong and some are more...meh. And as you move up in rankings the difference between a low end of that rank and the high end of that rank get bigger and bigger. While our boy Jinwoo is at a very respectable level at this point, Inspector man is probably a few steps above him. To be 10000% fair to you guys, the power rankings in the show seem to be more abstract than the books so I can totally see how it isn't as clear for you two.

Apathina
2024-03-10 04:06:33 +0000 UTCthe power gap between ranks is huge, and the higher the rank the biggest the gap is.
Sy'mon Almeida
2024-03-10 04:05:32 +0000 UTCThe strongest B rank would still be fodder to the weakest A rank so Sung drip Woo is correct.

No Remorse
2024-03-10 04:04:41 +0000 UTCThe fact that he said he would be helpless against that A rank agent, makes me think that rankings are almost like the danger scale in one punch man. like going up one threat level isn't a linear thing, it's a whole new scale of threat. Like wolf is like one or a few people threatened, tiger is a big group, demon threats can destroy a city, dragon threats can destroy multiple cities, and god can destroy humanity. My theory is that the antagonist is the leveling system altogether. It doesn't seem like the system he's using is a natural occurrence. It's made by someone, maybe someone who's responsible for the gates themselves, or someone who can like hack into them, or something. But remember back when he was hesitant to fight the humans in the cave? It said if he doesn't fight them, his heart will stop. The system is actually controlling him to some extent, I think that's what's going to rear its head, and he's going to have to figure out who's trying to pull his strings before he's forced to do something terrible
Dale Diaz
2024-03-10 04:00:05 +0000 UTCAwesome episode! The shard the b-rank healer shows jinwoo in the end is the shard that he gave to her in the double dungeon in ep 2 just before he was left alone at the alter and she was knocked out. It was basically a promise for them to go on a date. Hopefully they’ll go next Saturday 😊

2024-03-10 03:53:37 +0000 UTCThat stone was from the double dungeon.... right at the end were he told her to take the stone for the dinner he promised her... then Mr. Song knocked her out and took her out the dungeon

2024-03-10 03:50:40 +0000 UTCCome on guys, I know a lot of us are excited they are watching this show but try to avoid anything that can be used as a spoiler. Stuff like the next episode will be hyped when it's easy to draw spoilers from is just a little example of that lol.

DJ
2024-03-10 03:40:22 +0000 UTCTo explain it A rank is way stronger than B rank like a big difference and sung rn is probably low A rank or high B rank That A rank is high A rank
volociti
2024-03-10 03:38:59 +0000 UTCwith the way rank works A rank is much stronger than B rank, the top of B is still several times weaker than A rank. at this point it was implied that Sung is probably top of B rank in power.
Silent Ninja
2024-03-10 03:35:24 +0000 UTCThe anime handled Kang a little different than the manhwa. They made it more mysterious lol. Also they didn’t show the boss of the dungeon at all and completely got ride of those scenes. Cool fight with Kang though.
shootie-san
2024-03-10 03:33:17 +0000 UTCAt this point I understand what you guys are saying about Jinwoos power level. It’s just my own opinion but he around high b rank low a rank at this moment thanks to his skills and debuffs( otherwise he would’ve lost). Also the power gap between b rank and A rank is very huge even more so with a rank and S rank. Jinwoo isn’t dumb either he knows he can’t beat him for a reason. All he can do now to be confident enough to beat the inspector to continue leveling up. Love you guys 🫶🏿
