..There are no words… It was as if I had collapsed at the end of the battle with Barak!
While the battle was going on, I kept thinking how cool this demon would look in the company of Igris and Fang)
A super episode where Jinwoo acquired a companion. He charmed her by word and deed)
And at the same time, we are being led to the island with ants, I have not read the manga, but judging by what I read in the comments, it wakes up epically crazy!
P.S.....waiting…

@UTKA_BLACK: The battle with Barak was really powerful, and I also imagined how he could look next to Igris and Fang. It's a pity that demons can't be turned into shadows—their mana is too polluted, as we learned back on the first floor. As for Jeju Island, it looks like something big is waiting for us. Even without reading the manga, you already feel that it will be a real explosion of emotions and epic scenes. I'm looking forward to the sequel with great impatience!

Apparently, in the Russian voiceover, the ram became a barrack? (I wonder why. In my opinion, if the accent is wrong, the ram or the barrack will sound so-so...)

And... wasn't I the only one who noticed this suit of shoulder pads, leather gloves, and a steel bikini?🔥

Many people will judge me and throw spoilers at me, but the love branches in this anime are complete nonsense. That Cha Haein is in the role of a love couple for Song Jin, I don't perceive that even this is Esil (it just seemed that way).

I just don't understand why the hell they're needed here at all. Especially with the first girl. After all, all anime is all about fighting and leveling up Song Jin himself. It's awesome to watch him alone, maybe in a team, but not in a relationship, because I don't see him as the person who would be interested in at least some kind of relationship. And why spoil a character with a possible love affair, so that in addition to his sister, he has another person to worry about — I don't understand.

P.S.: Okay, though, he looked nice with Esil. At least she's not obsessed with Song Jin and doesn't run after him like Cha Haeyin does. And for that matter, I perceive all the love branches with Song Jin as one-sided love.

@wrezxry: and what distinguishes Esil from the same Jinho, who also looks Jin in the mouth, except that she is a girl? Imho, no "love branch" was implied here. It's just that gg always takes care of those who are weaker. Sometimes they are characters of the opposite sex, sometimes even cute.

Jin-woo has achieved his goal. The battle was cool, Barak is still a monster, it's a pity you can't add him to the army of shadows 😊
Has the Jeju Arch begun? By the way, for some reason they didn't show when they met Ryuji Koto at the airport, did an American hunter of national level also arrive, or am I mistaken? Ber is getting closer

@vk728323:

The boss of the 100th floor was somehow quickly overwhelmed, I would have watched the whole series with great pleasure from the battle without other plot inserts, etc.

But this is not surprising considering that there are only 12 episodes in the season, that in 1 episode he met and killed him.
Yes, of course, brevity is the sister of talent
But still, it doesn't always work, as in this case he's a level 100 bos, and they took just a couple of minutes to fight him, and that's it.
Yes, of course it's good when they don't stretch the timekeeping, but when, in my opinion, they charge it where they don't need it, it's also bad

@vk728323:

Did I understand correctly that he can now summon this boss as a shadow?

Because in the voiceover that I watched there, and it was voiced with words and even subtitles, it was written that you got the soul of a ram

And before that, it was announced and said that
You have defeated the baron

If he has a +1 such powerful servant, he will be even stronger than he is now.

+ If he can resurrect and summon such strong opponents as shadows, then he will have a rank or later become an invincible army with such strong servants, if you also take into account that they can still level up later after death in the form of a shadow

To be honest, I don't like this Chinese fashion: everything sparkles, a bunch of super-fast movements that take 1-3 frames at most, and it's not even clear what's going on on the screen!! Where is the beauty of combat? Bam-bam-bam, everything is dead! What was that all about? A bunch of clueless but colorful special effects. plans are generally lost during the action, and it is unclear what is on the screen: the body, limbs, or decor of the situation. The fight is just drained, for this fat diz

I didn't realize the episode had just started and ended immediately. wtf where else?
They confidently told me in the comments to the last episode that he would continue to ruin everyone on easy. But already in this episode, there was a sweaty rink. I hope they answered me in a special way so that the effect would be better)
But tandem with non-writing is certainly unexpected. It will probably only last one episode, but it was interesting to watch their duet)

@Paramelion: well, if I remember the plot of manhwa correctly, then in the third season there should be only one sweaty battle and the final one. And I wouldn't call this a sweaty battle, 7 minutes and you're done. I looked at the timing, at 12 minutes the battle begins, goes to 16, after the interruption to the story about the ants, then at 18 minutes it continues until 21. And only after the interruption did they go into sparring, so they fought face to face for only 3 minutes.

The moment with the cape. ❤️❤️❤️ I don't really understand how the hero will get a romantic line with his character and goals, but I find his ability to take care of people incredibly attractive. I'm also glad that it's not just girls who are under his wing, it would be too sour. The sibling dynamic with Jinho is no worse than with her own sister. In general, Jinu is a crash, and happy victory to him! I hope there's no catch and Mom will really get better.

Did they really show both the beginning and the denouement of the battle in one episode? That's progress!
Interestingly, it was not shown whether the Dream took any artifacts from the Ram or not.

We really look forward to continuing with the potion, whether it will help.
And also the use of a new lifting skill, I don't understand how much cooler it is if he has already raised a Fang in the past.
