Immediately after crafting the elixir, he rushes to cure his mother, finally relieving her of her eternal sleep disease.
Despite these achievements, the episode’s first half focuses on emotional depth and human interaction. While the humane scenes between Jinwoo and his mother was appreciated, the episode lacked the adrenaline-pumping battles that Solo Leveling is known for.
Meanwhile, as S-rank hunters assemble and prepare for the 4th Jeju Island raid, tensions “arise” when the Japanese leader boldly challenges Korea’s S-rank team amid their rigorous training.
This looming confrontation has fans buzzing with excitement, eagerly anticipating the long-awaited Jinwoo vs. Goto clash in future episodes.
