...papa?

i dont think he was in a red gate

zILovePelmeni _

what chapter from the current episodes would had disproven their current theory

Amyr

If my math is correct jinwoo dad was in that gate for 240 years

Olpop

Yall are definitely reading too into it with that Jinwoo theory but I can see why you said that and its honestly only because the studio is cutting out some information from the Manhwa that would help watches better understand because they are trying to get to a certain arc before the season ends.

Tokyo GxS

Couple of things. Valid points on the DNA, but you also have to consider that this is the first time this happened. And they did know that he is Korean, they didn't want the off chance of things being mistranslated (both ways) given that google translate isn't the best to have a conversation with. And it isn't just about getting a Korean to talk to him, its about getting someone they are confident can hold their own in case things goes south, hence the need for an S-rank. They could've asked for any random Korean-American hunter, but they specifically asked for an S-rank for that reason.

Edward Michaelle

🔥🔥

Sung Drip-Snoop

Anyone know why they didn't take DNA samples from Il-Hwang anyway? Should have been an izi af way to figure out if he's human or nah. Also how would he have gotten out if there's no stampede coming out of that gate anyway? Also bro fr doesn't have Google Translate to Detect Language, then auto-translate from Korean to English? Bruh. Also I hardly doubt there's no Korean-Americans in w/e spook organization they are at, even as sole pen pusher type of grunt worker

Skebaba

Sorry I wanted to say Kerry (Kiritsugu) but somehow typed out Kirei instead lol

Severus Alaerth

in my first 2 years of highschool (2017/2018) me and my classmates would play multiple versions of kof on the computer from some random websites when we had no more assignments to do lmao I didnt realize it was such a huge franchise. I just remember the character designs and movesets being crazy and a character with silver hair(i think) that was ridiculously overpowered so we all had an agreement to not use him

rain

well i guess that ends my scroll here

rain

it's around the time he opens that other key I think. Then the real plot get's revealed as well as what Jinwoo is "supposed" to be vs what he actually is.

Justin Hearst

u really think so?? With all jinwoos feats there was just no way hwang is winning. Bro can recharge his mana and health. Its not like if would’ve been a 1v1 if shit got crazy but maybe who knows. We do know what happens later😈like father like son

Ghost

They wanna feel superior so they spoil shit, let them have that moment its all they can ever get cuz they never irl lol.

sotonye ogan

People here don't care, man. Don't read them, trust me. Lol I know what's gonna happen in the story and you don't want some of those plots points spoiled.

Fraudkuna

I've been sick for about two weeks this is keeping me going🙏🏽

llost

I'm thinking season 4 is when we learn about it. Final season will prob be season 5. That makes next season the one.

0rbital_Nugget

9:02 I really like that extra note that was added

Oliver

With the pacing it should be next season

Oliver

they know a lotta things they the ogs

Rishad GB

Kiritsugu Emiya bro, not Kirei. But dang Hwang's VA usually voices complete badasses, like Aomine Daiki (Kuroko's Basketball), Barou (Blue Lock), Archer (UBW), etc. He deserved a much more badass character than the Hwang character in this show, lol.

Drake Rage

In the audiobook, Choi Jong-In says after his encounter with Jinwoo that he'd at least lose his arm or possibly more after their encounter after the red gate, so that tells you how he felt to one of Korea's S-Rank hunters lol

Cory

Idk about the Manwha, but I'm listening to the audiobook right now, and its at this part in it, and there is a little bit more than is shown in this episode, but not much. Just mostly him looting the demons for their horns and selling em, then it skips a few floors saying he gets more exp from higher level demons, then it is him fighting the level 50 boss.

Cory

not really. Its more so that generally the difference in skill at the top of any field is wider than the previous. So for example, the gap between a B rank and an S rank is massive, but the gap between the top and bottom of S would be absurdly higher to where you could probably introduce S+ or even S++ to seperate them

suzukiri

Not really tbh. His strength was never hyped up that much. Obviously he's an S-class, but he's really mostly advertised as being a menace.

Alexander S

Her ass was nice but I want to see her character pop off again

Tenroku

Your questions will be answered I don’t know when tho it been a minute since I read it

Stanley

Its just this society, you dont need to talk about it you know you dont give 2 shits about (2 freaking seconds), the gang didnt talk about it but you gotta show some type of "reaction" make other perceive you as some kind of freedom fighter its annoying fake shit (performative) but thats just how the society is in general lmao.

sotonye ogan

2 second scene out of 25 minutes that's what you got out of this episode tweaking? oh wow ok lol. Its 2025 and niggas are still acting like they got their heart broken over an ass shot, lmao

sotonye ogan

I'm wondering what the deal was with episodes 1 and 2 of season 1. Who set that statue test up? Does it have a deeper meaning? I guess maybe the test was to prove who was worthy to become the player? but then why? idk, Mystery!

Kirk Perry

no

Asian Watermelon

is he dead?

JÚLIO CÉSAR BRITO

They hyped up Hwang Dong Soo for nothing.

Sasha

Since Roshi was asking, Daddy Sung is voiced by Kiritsugu (Fate Zero), Billy (Undead Unluck), Director Fukuzawa (BSD), Heracles (Pluto), among others you guys have watched. Now the funny thing here is that Hwang is voiced by Archer (Fate UBW and HF), so their conversation was rather hilarious and wasn't the reunion you'd expect to see them in lmao

Severus Alaerth

Remember who knows what type of gate bro was stuck in he was in a gate for 10 years he has to be SS+ tier. Jinwoo was in gate that would last 7 months and fought Barca he probably fought like 30 Barca and goku to escape 😂

Richard

We have flying cockroaches too, and they're pretty huge and fast. And they always fly straight up at you for some reason.

Didier

It's honestly fucking cool that you guys know about King of Fighters and Garô Densetsu. SNK used to be the absolute GOATs of 2D figthing games. They had the best characters designs, the best gameplays, the best everything. And then they went bankrupt because nobody played arcades in the West as much anymore and the Neo Geo console was too expensive for casual gamers while other companies like Capcom got a contract with Sony's brand-new Playstation that allowed them to stay in touch with a mainstream audience, and then SNK got bought by fucking Playmore, and now their games look like ass while Capcom can now flex with their overrated games because they got no real competition left. King Of Fighters used to have characters designs so stylish that whenever you looked at their art-books' illustrations it felt like you were looking at a fashion magazine's pages. Shinkiro's illustrations looked so realistic and elegant that it looked like ads for expensive clothing brands. Capcom, on the other hand....apart from a few iconic characters (Chun Li, Sakura, Ibuki, Yun & Yang), most of their characters either wore a gi or walked around half naked...when they didn't simply looked like goofy parodies or unsensitive attempts at cultural representations. Capcom've been reusing the same cheap hobo karategi with half their characters for decades, declining them in different colors like the Power Rangers, and now they're trying real hard to emulate the King Of Fighters vibe by adding urbanites streetwear into their SF6 charadesigns (like they previously already tried with SF3) coupled with semi-realistic martial techniques like KoF used to. But I swear I don't care if SF6 is a pristine game, I will never bow down to Capcom. SNK until the day I die. When learning Mandarin, I was surprised by the many King Of Figthers references I've found in modern Chinese culture. In fact, I was shocked to learn that King Of Fighters is more popular than Street Fighter over there. There literally is a Rapper named K9999 (弹壳), and I've noticed a few KoF references in the 2023 donghua (Chinese word for anime) called "Scissor Seven" as well. China seem to still hold King Of Fighters in high esteem as it had a cultural impact over there. Among all the comics adaptations of the KoF franchise, only 4 were made by Japanese people, all the rest were made by Chinese authors like Andy Seto. Real recognize real, the rest of the World may have forgotten, but the Chineses know that old school SNK is forever the realest.

Didier

We definitely have flying ants in the US. They just aren't commonly seen. Since they only get wings for reproduction and settling new colonies. Females will rip theirs off, and then males will die after mating.

Nick Baynes

Damn I got spoiled in comments - Where them Mods at yo?

ShaquanVirse

We have flying cockroaches - THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!

ShaquanVirse

Used to it, but thanks mate

Lightbane1905

You guys don't have flying ants in America? We have a lot of them in the Caribbean. They usually come into our houses when it's raining outside.

Didier

It was over in like, 5 seconds.

Coatl45

How about you shut up instead of spoiling shit (Yes shutting down reasonable theories with info only manga readers have is a spoiler)

Yang

description is wrong. its not papa? its Daddy.

Jdogzero Silverblade

They only went on a scout mission. To take the Island would be a greater effort

Oliver

BRUH I COULDN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO SEE THE ENDING OF THIS EPISODE 😭

Terrence Robison

Not really. There isn't any story to demon castle until he meets certain characters.

Ren Lichtfoot

Facts lmaoo

KiddDak

Ten Thousand Souls? What is he Rimuru now lol

DevilMayCarter

It's that I'm getting like upset by them cutting the little stuff out It's just that they put in the unnecessary fan service scenes like at the end of the day I can be fine with them cutting some stuff as long as it's not really relevant to the story.

Red Sun Crusher!!!

It's always funny when ppl complain about fan service as if the target demo isn't teenage boys lmao. Niggas like booty why are we pretending to be outraged.

Mollywopper

Yea mason didn't need to be sarcastic but I feel him. Idk how long you've been watching anime but for me personally and seemingly mason it gets tiring seeing ppl constantly complain about cut content from adaptations. Any sort of written media is always going to have more detail than its visual counterpart and complaining about it every single time it happens gets annoying. Ppl did it with lotr, harry potter, and now every single manwha/manga/light novel adaptation. It'd be different if they cut important stuff but as ppl have already said nothing of importance was lost so there's really no point in bringing it up at all.

Mollywopper

Not really. All the good stuff happen on his last trip to wrap up the demon castle. Even during my rereads, I tend to skim through demon castle, so the anime does a nice job of skimming through the slow/unnecessary parts.

Manny

It's not stated but it's implied because the other S Rank that was waiting outside the Gate was stronger than Jinwoo at the time

Davon Thomas

correct :)

speedy

nahhh roshi impersonating the fat nigga run was funny as shit 😭😭

speedy

Oh them flying ants that was fucking everybody up at the s1ep1, wasnt that red hair glasses fuck nigga dressed up to go there with his team?, them s-ranks ass if they still havent handled that lmao

sotonye ogan

i love seeing you guys pull at strings that are like probably not even correct. Thats good writing for you

Gmac paddiewac

Doubled checked, I'm almost certain, he also did Kiritsugu and Rengoku.

Panda

I'm almost positive the dads VA is the same VA as ging from HxH 2011. And i've watched that series too fucking much lmfao.

Panda

As a manhwa reader the dad is a different kind of problem

Gavin fox

Nah after red gate Jinwoo would've got packed up. He would've made it difficult thanks to his crazy skills but difference between ranks was just too much. I think current Jinwoo would mid to high difficulty him though.

illnamethechannellater653

Im ngl... they rushin tf outta the demon castle..

Godrick

Jinwoo is probably actually dead, like he actually died early on in the series. Whatever we're seeing now is the effect of some super high level dungeon demon that resurrected him to fulfill their own objectives. Much like his current ability, which is obviously from said dungeon demon. His father may not have been talking about Jinwoo specifically but definitely was talking about whatever brought Jinwoo back to life.

Jigga Man

At the red gate Hwang would’ve gotten his shit folded, ill say with the anime they do a iffy job “explaining” how strong he is so they use the fights i guess to show u but Sung was like High A Low S tier at the red gate. On top of all his feats? Most hunters and S ranks in general arent like two dimensional fighters. Wtv power they have is usually their only power so yea Hwang could be tanky and just get madder and stronger but Jinwoo different different different.

Ghost

Imagine being pressed over a anime character 😂

CentipedeKid

Glad i wasnt the only one tho think of Demon's Souls for that quest. lol

NecDW4

aw hell na i shouldnt of read this lmaoo

Retro

S-Ranks are kinda like special grades, one s-rank while insanely powerful might be a chump to another S-Rank.

Tramaine Thomas

She thought Jinwoo's dad was on the plane with Hwang Dongsoo being transported but he was already in handcuffs waiting for him to arrive.

Artistikk

Roshi read it 5 years ago so he'll probably forget a few things

Bellegarde Menard

man u did not have to say this to end their theory..

Hi How are ya

At 5:30 when they were drinking, o almost forgot that Sung can’t get drunk since one of his passive skills neutralizes poisons or toxins or something like that, and he was able to drink a whole 6 pack somewhere in season 1 and couldn’t get drunk.

Sugoi_Boi__

Why tell them that there talking about something else confused 🤔 there’s nothing wrong with tht I didn’t spoil anything so wht

jayyyyyk

It’s 12 other ppl tht agreed there is nothing about this that is spoiler learn how to read plz

jayyyyyk

14:44 I appreciate the 40K reference

Robertgill

I think Dwang was no longer a true threat to Jinwoo, the way he bounced that A rank like a basketball? I think their fight would've caused A LOT of destruction, but our boy would've come out with a win. I think the story let daddy handle the problem to power scale daddy.

Eric Keatts

Y’all are not ready it’s only up from here ngl

CAM

enjoying the theories yall are coming up with!! as someone that has read this, keep the theories coming cuz the explanation is not coming anytime soon haha

Daylen

Roshi read it so he knows that much. Tho some things are reminding him because its been a while

SixPathTobi

Dad is a problem

ShaquanVirse

I think it doesn’t take into account the equipment, items and skills he has. It just compares the levels of him and his enemy bc the system (like in any video game) doesn’t know if you’ll use an item or multiple stuff from ur inventory so it can’t factor that in the difficulty assessment

Goofyaah

Disappointed they cut out iron an Igria bringing the demon heads to Jinwoo

Cameron Robinson

just to let yall know jinwoo is not the boss or enemy spoiler free. just to knip that theory at the bud

Bellegarde Menard

The difference now is jinwoo is better equipped, has more skills and stats, decent amount of weapons and armor , and more intelligence.

Oscar Barcelo

Yeah they been producing Musashi Miyamoto arc for a minute shit gon be fye

DIOR

Damn the pre-comment-clapping FYI

Ginger Dwarf

Bro really got the perfect solo player build. A necro-assassin mage hunter. Hundreds/thousands of minions/pets that act on your command, that you could mount, have tank/heal/dps for you, a ton of mana, stealth, speed, strength, and can purchase items from the cash shop from his UI.

K Jack

Cause that's not kraven at all

Red Sun Crusher!!!

Daddy Sung has entered the chat🙂‍↕️. As someone who read ahead I love yall theories whether it’s wrong or right👀

Kameron Renae

bruh they really clapped hwang offscreen lmao

HK71

A cow? 23:28

If Its

Yeah, the order of operation for the dad was he was in a gate for a decade, randomly found an exit (probably beating a lot of monsters) and the exit landed him in America (typically for these shows that's just the US), and him being locked up was a precaution until they could get a translator. Once they set that up, our fun-having translator thought he could pull a 2-for-1 special on the Sung family and f'd around and found out lmao

Tomaz

9:03 yo what's with the FYI loool

HK71

Aura farming run in the fam. Also that fanservice scene was def important to the plot trust

Tenroku

Oh! I guess I just didn’t understand that leap in logic, because why would the dad be on a plane if they were flying the S Rank Hunter to the dad.

BZD

when she heard MCs name, she put together that the long hair dude was his dad, but she said "guy on the plane" because she thought dad was held prisoner on the plane

PolarToni

it'll be fun

PolarToni

why tell them that?

PolarToni

This is exactly why huge characters are not supposed to be quick like that. You be thinking you have all the time in world and then that window just shuts in your face. Vulcan was so annoying to figure out...

DevilMayCarter

after learning roshi cant do 7 x 8 im surprised he can do 3 x 20

Guav

When youre alone and unaccepted by those around you especially by your own BLOOD!? Yeah, I can see how lil bro cried when someone he felt inferior to accepted him. Not too hard if you actually think about it instead of being ignorant but its okay I do it too sometimes

Gary

FATHER!

Gary

I think to avoid spoiling the experience for them and anyone else in the comments manhwa readers should just avoid theory corrections.

Landers L

I like to think the s rank fight was so fast the anime couldn't cut back to it fast enough lol like commercial break and oops, missed the whole fight XD

Eric Keatts

Imagine crying because you got promoted to lil bro

CentipedeKid

Dad said fuck around and he found out put that dude in a humble coma😂😂

Reckless Company

Your ass just wanted to flex that you read it bruh solo leveling is NOT niche and don’t tell em of their theories are right or wrong please that’s useless and even other viewers don’t need it so please stop

Wsgyan

Oh nOo- our table is broken 😭

Okai

Nah. He’s not a boss. Not a spoiler to just go ahead and unalive that theory

Chef MellowD

I can’t lie. It would make for an interesting alternative 🤔

BojacksReacts

Yall should react to a list of all the characters these VAs do

Chef MellowD

Siri play daddy’s home

CleoKujo

crazy that the level 50 boss was red but jinwoo didn't struggle nearly as much as with other red named enemies. mf should have been like yellow

Andres Holguin

i don't think Hwang was ever stated to be stronger than jinwoo. I'm pretty sure jinwoo is basically S Rank too now so it just would've been an interesting fight.

Itanna

I don't think the dad was talking about his son. He was trapped in the gate for a long time. So I'm guessing he saw and learned a lot of stuff about monsters and probably where they come from and maybe about the system too? I don't know, but it didn't feel like he was talking about the powers his son has. Also, I think they interpreted what the monster said about Jinwoo not being human wrong. I think the monster honestly just assumed Jinwoo is a monster because the system didn't tell them to kill him. But, we have to remember, the system seems to be on Jinwoo's side it seems. So why would it tell the monsters to kill him even if he is human?

Kikimari

Lowkey a spoiler, let them speculate, it’s meant to be ambiguous rn

e10

“Flying ants is insane” Brotha, you have no idea 😮‍💨

Chef MellowD

Demon Tower/SL world easily scales Jinwoo over most verses.

Chef MellowD

W annotation 😭. Bro knew somebody was coming for his wife 🤣

Chef MellowD

ant arc finna be crazy

JotaroDrake

Koyama locked in with SL. Took me a min to figure out the voice 😂. Also you can tell roshis manhwa reading memory kicked in once he heard that name. 💭💭

BojacksReacts

“Il Hwang Sung” *Roshi’s mind cranks to 1000*

Chef MellowD

its funny hearing how wrong there theories are when i have read the manhwa

Ian Abaho

Hey Roshi, the episode is edited as "Episode 2", and this is Episode 3. Just letting your editor know

Saphthings

What about it made it awful as a introduction to the character

THE DJ

Heck no they do not need to suffer from that god awful movie

Red Sun Crusher!!!

Oh baby here we go solo leveling

Bboyblock .

I remember when this chapter came out, I thought to myself, is his dad able to level up too?

BZD

That was for a Red gate, though maybe it applies to both.

BZD

3:05 They got my OG fav voice (Before Nanami's VA hit the scene) in here too??? Kiritsugu from Fate/Zero, lmao. (Also if that's him I think he was also the voice from that one anime with that fav line "I AM ANTONIO" lmao)

Drake Rage

word??

Dubb

Alright man there was no need for that I ain't even that upset about it if it's for budget reasons than it's all cool with me as long they don't mess up with really major stuff than I'm completely fine with what their doing right now.

Red Sun Crusher!!!

ah i see

Guns

“Oh no the anime isn’t exactly like the manwha such a new concept oh my god my life’s over” -you probably

Mason

I’m letting y’all know right now there not talking about jinwoo at all kind of there talking about something else entirely

jayyyyyk

We need a kraven the hunter movie reaction

THE DJ

Yeah that's true hopefully nothing like major gets cut that all I wish for in the end.

Red Sun Crusher!!!

I read that FYI and I still don’t understand what Sheera was thinking. Maybe because I can only remember two names from the show, three actually.

BZD

they cut the fight cause there was no fight, all we see in the manhwa is Sung Il-hwan throwing one punch and thats it, nothing important was cut out, and if u remember it will show more later when DongSoo wakes up in the hospital, so no nothing important was cut out and they saving budget, cause they got mad shit this season w Tusk, Baran and others

Nuke XD

it was 10 years, because its only red gates that time is different than our world

callme.NuKe

Thanks bro

DiorJUSTGIMMEMY💰🃏

Much appreciated bro we doing rd 🫡

DiorJUSTGIMMEMY💰🃏

Ay fam wishing you peace and love during the hard times

Code Kisaro

That's what I'm saying but they shortened the conversation with jinwoo's dad and hwang dongsoo

Red Sun Crusher!!!

didn't even cut anything of value lol the only crime here is not taking the opportunity to do what the manwha didn't and show the fight fr

Kurumi

There were things that was cut out I'm re-reading the manwha scenes were cut out and some were shortened

Red Sun Crusher!!!

Y’all want Baki back so bad. Don’t worry, next season this year 😌

DIOR

You have to get the fan service somehow😭😭😭

Casual

Isnt being in a gate for 10 years in the real world like equal to 30 years inside the actual gates?

Guns

Nothing important was cut out

Gabriel Souza

Why tf am I not getting notifications

CleoKujo

Guess dad is SS or like an S+ rank

Guns

episode went by fast

a

id be careful about asking questions like that. some folks in this community love spoiling

JJ

Bro this nigga the jogo of the vers all this nigga do is fight the strongest niggas in the vers and get clapped 😂😭

Kingmakaii

Especially since they gave us that unnecessary scene with cha haein I know they trying to have her character be focused at lot early then when she appears in the manwha but to me this was complete unnecessary to do especially when it takes away scenes from the main story

Red Sun Crusher!!!

The moment buddy spoke crazy about Jinwoo, Drip Woo Sr. put him on life support🤣

Art of Trolling

The episode outro says it's ep 2 instead of 3 fyi

Noinim

Then I'm definitely guessing budget atleast for the fight scenes. No idea why they'd cut the dialog

Limes_taste_good

Some fight scenes were cut out and the dialogue with jinwoo's father was cut short.

Red Sun Crusher!!!

Could be budget priorizing for more important episodes/scenes. Have no idea what was cut tho, I'm anime only

Limes_taste_good

Lol that FYI y'all added around 9:07 was mad random, appreciate the explanation though

Devin B

It sucks how they cut out some scenes from the manwha in this episode and gave a very unnecessary fan service scene.

Red Sun Crusher!!!

They breezed through these chapters man this episode, hot damn! Still fire tho

jordansamuel

What I am wondering is if Papa Sung is talking about Jinwoo OR someone ELSE?

Lightbane1905

I was thinking this as well and was a bit disappointed. Then I was thinking that every other "main character" so far is a dude and all the jacked ones we've seen with shirts off and posing. This got rid of a bit of my disappointment but not all of it. Looking forward to her badassery though.

Sam

Damn man hope you and your fam are doing better. God bless you.

Animefev3r

Fr the anime over sexualized her more than what is necessary

Devin B

Daddy is here!

V STAN

Appreciate that bro 🫡

DiorJUSTGIMMEMY💰🃏

Stay strong bro 😁

Charcoal

aint nothing scarier than a fast big mf. all that weight plus the speed is crazy

Trey Milliner-Williams

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hasnain Khan

All the Cha Hae-in fan service is kinda making me sad, just a little. Like I get she’s meant to be the love interest but the manwha made it way more tasteful whereas the anime just does creep shots instead of having her actually do anything.

Charcoal

crazy you upload this the second i check for it

Derek

Yesssir y’all really give me something to look forward to sometimes not trying kill the vibe but me and my fam going through a lot rn
