sadly we missed out on the doctor scene lol, in the Manwha they're all like "whaaat? she cant leave we have to study her" until they find out she was with jinwoo
Lucia Petrozzi
Yes, precisely. We saw the three of them fight the ants in Ep1 S1.

(none of this spoilers, it's just added context for the burn Scene. ) IM PUNCHING AIR RIGHT NOW, this scene and backstory i have being waiting for since we first saw Jinwoo's Mom as i Saw the burn scars Immediately on Episode 1 and remember the reason for it, i've caught a few other reactors comment on the scars when she was laying in bed before off-handedly during episodes so i have being waiting so long for this Vulnerable and backstory moment from Jinwoo's Recollection. Burn Story in the lines. --------------- Jinwoo's Mom Park Kyunghye Used to Bathe Jinah on the stool washing and rinsing her Daughters hair from a pot of water, Jinwoo wanted to do something good for his Mom (i think he was ~12yr at the time) and do the same for her as she does for Jinah so he went to boil water to get it warm for his mom and do the same. Jinwoo at that age didn't realise that his Mom let the water Cooldown, he poured the pot of boiling water to rinse her hair but got scared at her flinching letting the heavy Pot spill all the water out at once. Jinwoo was Scared at hurting his mom and was anticipating her rage, Park Kyunghye Immediately turned around and hugged Jinwoo and kept asking him if he was alright checking to see if he got burned at all. (this might vary depending on the WN/Manwha as The audiobook did a great job seering this into my memories.) --------------------------- I was left with Soo much disappointment at how they didn't expand on it further as it was very much a divining factor on how he grew up and who he is, Mistakes aren't the end of the world and even if your mistakes led to injury and hurt theres still people who loved him and would forgive him. i really believed they missed the ball on that one, however i can't complain Too much im just venting really as A-1 is doing a masterful job so far cramming 2-3 Arc's per season so far. Okay, Vent over. Edit: I should mention that i don't remember the backstory from the Manwha, i listened to the Audiobook first, so im not sure how they did it for the Webnovel and icr the Manwha, i just know they don't expand on this further.

Flexie, I cant be the only one that had "Apothecary diaries" feelings when watching Jinwoo's reuinion scene with him mom... from the music to the washed out moonlight setting and animation... i can't be the only one right?

1st season 1st episode, the green clothed healer is this guy, EunSeok who died was the electric claw guy fighting alongside Baek
JAMES D'ALESSANDRO
I really hope he goes on this mission,or I fear we may get a Spiderman origin moment.

As a 40ish year old who played a ton of fantasy games growing up I look at it like this : Dragon - 4 legs with wings, Wyvern - 2 back legs with wings, Wyrm - No legs with or without wings and Drake - 4 legs with no wing. All Are giant reptiles.
JAMES D'ALESSANDRO
Hahaha, but seriously. It's not a dragon. Dragon have 4 legs. This thing has 2, so It's a wyvren. Those are the anime rules
Andy Hinton
This episode/part of the Manwha is the last time Esil is seen. There is a fan theory that she is already dead and that Esil and everything and everyone he encountered in that dungeon was just a recreation. People think that it all was just a simulation created by the system. But none of that has been confirmed.
RedEyeItachi
Very nitpicky and I didn’t really care about it either just something I think a lot of people didn’t understand and r now calling a “plot hole” or a “plot armor win” simply cuz the anime left it out.
STEVE
Hey Flexi you should checkout Dub English Jinwoo when the season ends just like you did with Dan Dan Dan. Just for good entertainment.
Mune Yotsuki
Agreed. Chopping it up like that felt really jarring and unnecessary.
raikirrii .
the difference between the manwha and this was crazy. in the manwha, just a single tear. here, the went all out and made this so emotional, + Hiroyuki Sawano OST hits every time
spectral.mozzarella
i cant help but think there are a lot of parallels to parasyte in this episode, to the point where i think it might be some kind of reference. the scald mark, and jinwoo regaining his mother, while shinichi from parasyte lost her. some food for thought!
Alex Hencher
You gotta give the VAs so much credit. They capture such emotion and feeling when they're just trapped in a sound studio somewhere. When you're actually acting, with other actors in a scene it's easy to draw on the emotional depth of the scene. The fact these people can just summon that is mind boggling.
Alex Hencher
1000% this anime has done a good job of taking scenes like that and giving them the tlc they needed for the adaptation
Alex Hencher
My only major complaint is we see less of the shadow soldiers personalities. They're the best part of the humor in the manhwa. I haven't gotten there in the books yet, but I hope it's the same there. Iron and the boys are so funny.
Travis Pike
Jinwoo out here making everyone moist again....but this time its different 😭
Alex Hencher
It might be worthwhile to rewatch the first couple minutes of episode 1, just as a recap. You see the healer guy, and Baek and his friend, the one that died. He was the cool lightning dude with the claws. Everyone lost friends during the Jeju raids, Chong in particular is literally haunted by nightmares of his failures there. Pretty sure it's the only dungeon break to never actually get sealed away.
Makit
So because it is a Korean name the W is silent and that's why it sounds like Jinoo. The English VA for Jinwoo did a video explaining that's why he pronounces it that way in the dub so I assume the Japanese VAs are doing the same
Kou Vang
He is using chakra to keep his feet on the dragon lol
Arjav Sharma
And that's exactly why I caved and ended up reading the novel.
Mesha
yeah I wasnt tripping giving how beautiful the fight was. It’s pretty much just nitpick at this point
RedEyeItachi
They cut almost 40 panels in the last episode before this one. I agree it’s nothing really important but it’s far more than 2 pages. One important thing they cut was explaining how he beat him by saving skill points for emergencies which is how he increased his strength in order to rip off his arms.
RedEyeItachi
This is y the community calls him Sung Dripwoo instead of jinwoo. Bro is just a walking Aura farm
William Roberts
Mom wakes up and IMMEDIATLY clocks that he has gone through so much and is in so much pain. A Mother knows...
Seal Oppa
The S rank healer Byungu is Itadori's VA from JJK
Mesha
Exactlyyyy
Mesha
I’m currently rereading the manwha and trust me this is a fast paced series, everything that’s been cut has been info no more that two pages long. A lil upsetting but nun crazy. Not every scene has to take the whole episode and be filled with unnecessary call backs so I’m happy solo has its own pace
Mesha
They really didn’t cut out a lot big dawg
stuhlpenner
Always funny how you get suprised by the ending of those episodes :-D
Eli Gamarra
The Ma guy kinda sounds like Kyouraku’s VA
Dean Morton
As cool as his fight was with Baron, I feel like that fight was too long while his time healing his mother was too short. After reflecting in the baron fight, if it wasn't going to push him as far as the first boss, Cerberus did, then it didn't need to take as much time as it did. These episodes also feel like they're 5 minutes long so what do I know? lol I don't know, I felt more hype over his fight with Tusk then Baron cause the build up was there, stuck in a dungeon with no escape and enemies way stronger then the party can handle, compared to struggling with Cerberus to bulldozing his way through 100 floors to get to Baron. 10/10 show, I'm just drunk nitpicking at this point. lol
Maya Coleman
As a manwa reader I do agree with you
Maya Coleman
You know it is a good day whenever flexie uploads a video ❤️
Davram
I do recommend checking out Aninews' cut content videos, he keeps to the specific episodes and has has warnings and timestamps for any minor spoilers that may come up, which doesn't generally happen to often, it fleshes out each scene with more information, no need to react to it, but it will add context for people who have no intention of reading the manwha or the WN
Davram
Manhwa lover and WN reader here and I so agree with you on this part
Jeff
I agree with your criticisms of the pacing. I feel like season 2 in particular after like ep 2 has just been rushing through the story for the sole purpose of making sure we get to jeju this season. There was plenty of content they cut from the source to fill out the full season. When it was announced, I was fully expecting this season to end with his mom waking up.
Kurohime
Just so you know, and this is spoiler-free so you're safe anime-only peeps. The manhwa had 5 panels for that emotional scene. That's all. In my humble opinion, sorry manhwa bros, but this was the far superior way to experience that scene. It showcases his relief and happiness that all the suffering, the pain, the betrayal, and anger at what he had to do to survive. All of it was finally worth it, for this simple reunion with mama and giving Jinah back her mother.
HollowedSlayer
Always so hyped to see your Solo leveling videos!
Bboyblock .
Midnight? Oh no and I'm drinking F I feel flexie will make me cry from this
Daniel Lee
I love getting to see the softer side of Jinwoo! Real men cry too 🥲
Brady Parker
YAY
Jessica McCann
I really couldn't handle seeing Jinwoo like this... his shaking hands, the VAs shaking voice, and all the tears. Omg.... But what a stunning moment, and another great episode.
reddnik
Been waiting for this😁
