[@LalinduSathmina]

Vinland saga,Hunter X hunter or mob psycho 100 is good

[@Dr3aMy00]

FUnny thing is, is that inteligence doesn't increase his actual IQ/ being smarter. It only increases his max mana, and mana usage

[@haku8135]

It's a magical stat. Strength is physical, so it physically makes him stronger. Intelligence and Perception don't make him smarter or make his eyes better, they make magic not work as well on him. So when he saw through the assassin's stealth skill, it wasn't because his eyes became so good he noticed like shifts in the air or light or something like that. The Skill just didn't work as well, so Jinwoo could notice him, because his numbers were high enough. Intelligence is the same, it doesn't make him smarter, it makes him better at magic, and probably ups his magic resistance too, so spells deal less damage to him. I assume that part at least, there's actually nothing detailing exactly how stats work, but that's 99% what the stat does.

[@sacredbeastzenon]

@@haku8135 Perception does make Jinwoo more perceptive. He feels the presence of the Kasaka in episode 4, and he sees the mana aura of the Golem. It also allows him to determine the strength of other hunters when he looks at them. He did this when he met Woo Jinchul for second time. He hears the bugs in in episode 5. Jinwoo was able to perceive Kang Taeshik's bloodlust which allowed him to block his strikes.

[@haku8135]

@@sacredbeastzenon As I said, it boosts magical senses, seeing mana and sensing bloodlust and such. Slightly improved physical senses might just be from his general increase in power. His strength and speed for example have increased DRAMATICALLY, but aside from magical perception, we haven't really seen his mundane senses being put on crack. Which if boosting his Perception equally effected his mundane senses, he should.... Well by now he should probably be needing to adapt to sensory overload, but assuming the system adjusts his brain's ability to process information, he should be able to see for miles, hear a pin drop from the next block over, track scents like a bloodhound and detect people with fucking air currents. Leveling up obviously improves his brain's processing speed and marginally buffs his body in general, but if it was as simple as increase Perception, increase Hearing ability, then he'd be like Superman in that respect by now. We don't really see that though, the only thing he's done is hear some bugs a little earlier than people that are supposed to be near his power level. Like Perception COULD boost his senses, but the payout is clearly WAY less than what boosting Strength gives him. His magical senses are obviously benefiting substantially more either way.

[@beaballamann1746]

possibly also increases magic resistance

[@SleepyStreak]

@@haku8135 Except almost every chapter in the LN, the author mentions that his senses have become superhuman in level. So, you're wrong.

[@KingMaler00]

Jin Woo saying "Let's throw hands" is so Gen Z coded I love it so much lmao

[@urgurlkayla3114]

I just love how Jinwoo is doing all of this in a Hoodie and Sweatpants. It just feels so real. Like no fancy armor like Jinho. Not that I’d mind seeing him in something a little more fantasy. But, it’s just fun seeing a badass character fight to the death in every day clothes.

[@thetwelfthdoctor9892]

Something the anime never mentioned is why Jinwoo was able to stop Igris's greatsword with his hands. The reason is the passive effect of his gauntlets: Additional effect: Protects the hands from injury.

[@bartvandemortel]

Yeah and is an shame that they made him “forget his daily quest” while it was actually planned. Just like he knew his dagger would go back to his inventory because he actually tried that

[@TroyIndureTillTheEnd]

@@bartvandemortelhow is that a shame?

[@bartvandemortel]

@@TroyIndureTillTheEnd for me personally it’s a shame. Because now it seems like he was lucky, while in fact it was a failsafe he planned. Now he looks dumber then he actually is.

[@VictoriaWalker8]

​@@bartvandemortelI'm pretty sure he really forgot about the daily quest even in the comic version. I remember reading it, and he was taken by surprise when the time was ending, and then he thought quickly to use it to his advantage. Later on he will use that as an possible strategy for harder battles.

[@Ichengo42]

​@@bartvandemortel I think the lack of planning kinda works because humans don't really know how to predict the future.. and that's what the author was going for

[@NightSterling]

Igris got hit once and suddenly pulled out the 10 hit combo 😂

[@shadowproductions969]

Igris was going easy on him up to that point.. then that hurt Igris's pride and couldn't let that stand

[@WiCharizard]

18:45 My only gripe with this scene is how they censored this part in the anime. In the manga, when he fell into the throne, his clothes were shredded off and he was coughing up blood. Aside from that, this is perfect.

[@matheusalvarenga7820]

"I'm Kenny and this is my beautiful wife Montana" I just wanted to say that I find this intro so cute

[@rockybhujel2093]

Enraged Igris beating up Jinwoo's butt in a combo style was super satisfying, wasn't it? 🤣

[@LaichiMeriem-nl4bp]

Actually intelligence doesn't necessary mean smart or stupid it's related to mana power atleast in jin woo situation.

[@MARI_05269]

From what I got from the manhua and discussion on chats it increase mana and thought speed and also probably memory capacity but doesn't make you actually smarter like intelligence ≠ wisdom

[@OffisianO]

Kinda strange tho since strenght increases his height gives him muscles a jaw line and a deeper voice

[@MARI_05269]

@@OffisianO 🤣🤣 yeah but I guess those are more plot required like make him more suited for fighting 🤨🤣 I mean one of the only reason we have this discussion is because of the haters and hard core fan's who felt directly insulted when Montana called him stupid Like his not stupid you are 😂 Even though it's not entirely wrong like I don't think his dum but if you sit and think about it there is quite a number of times when he didn't took the smartest decision like the daily quest but in the end it didn't matter because he got lucky and even though it wasn't the smartest choice it end up being the better one As for intelligence I think is not really meant to make him smarter as it is more meant to make him more adapt to magic because if it were to make him smarter than towards the end of the manhua Einstein could have taken lessons from him which probably would have made things pretty complicated 😅

[@hunter-tu1df]

We can assume it does make him smarter cuz strength actually makes him stronger not just in dungeons but outside too. Unless we assume that, it's a plothole. But obviously he's not a dumbass, he was already smarter than all of the others in the double dungeon

[@OffisianO]

@@MARI_05269 i mean the writing makes him look stupid for artificial tension like how he constantly drops the teleport stones as an example but its a power fantasy with 1 main character u know nothing is ever going to happen to him this show does nothing for me

Just a small note for those who haven't read the manhwa (NO SPOILER) when he first equips the armor one of the gloves has a trait/ability that nothing can penetrate it which is why he was able to stop Igris's Sword When he was on the throne.

[@MathiusThatBe]

They did suchhh a good job with this fighttt, I can't wait for season 2!!

[@Teib_21]

Great reaction can't wait for ARISE!!!. Just a bit of explanation, normally in this type of games where you level up attributes, it's better to focus on 2 main stats, in this case STR and AGL with a sub of Perception. because Jin-woo is an assassin build, most of his skills use Stamina instead of Mana. So actually leveling up Intellect when he had no Magic to use would have made him much weaker. Where this scenario differs from a game, is that Jin-woo can infinitely level up and gain skills outside of his build/job, thus allowing him to also build INT. So him not building INT till now was the best case scenario unless he was a mage before instead of an assassin/warrior type,. Normally All-rounder builds are stronger early, but significantly weaker later.

[@Khay-77]

Igris The Bloodred, such a badass intro, and they did our boy right.

[@jdogx211]

I think Igress might be worse WITHOUT his sword. Sure he doesn't hit AS HARD, but he can hit you ALOT MORE!

The gauntlet had a bonus effect that prevents hand injuries. The anime didnt show it, nor why Igris let Jin-woo put that dagger into his face. Near perfect episode.

[@erickrueda16]

Wasn't intellect based on his mana, so jinwoo focused his stats more on strength just so he could do more damage to his opponents

[@darknesswave100]

It effects his mana pool and I'd assume magic resistance since that's what normally happens in rpgs. It doesn't effect his real world intelligence

[@Dalton325]

Just an FYI, since she keeps mentioning it; in video games, Intelligence doesn’t make you smarter, since the character is controlled by a player. It’s known to basically just be a stand in for how much magic a person can use. So it would affect his mana. Up until now, he doesn’t have heavy mana usage, so it hasn’t been as important. I know it isn’t a real video game, but they imply those are the rules the show operates by.

[@pipercharms7374]

his intellect is about his own magic, it has NOTHING to do with how smart he is or his brain guys XD

[@kee1pride31]

In the manwha it points out that he added points to his intelligence which saved his life in being able to tell those bugs were coming in episode 5. So he has chosen to add points to it before

Wasn't that thanks to perception rather than intelligence? Because in the first Instance dungeon, he mentioned he could sense the danger coming from the boss room thanks to his higher perception.

montana is the stupid one here in most rpgs leveling stats evenly is the worst build u can make mastering a stat is the best choice especially with teams intelligence would be the meta tho since it help the most in the real world + with magic in combat , strength builds are the vanilla / safe choice & thats smart since u should avoid risk because its realty not a game , if u read mangas & manhwas the busted builds tend to be with the luck stat if that can be chosen they have he fastest growth

[@darknesswave100]

One thing Montana needs to know about how the stats work is it doesn't equate to real world abilities. Her calling him stupid because he never leveled up intelligence is just pure ignorance talking (not saying shes dumb but its a lack of knowledge here which is what ignorance is). The intelligence stat in an rpg which thats how the stats work in this setting only effects his mana amount and majic skill. It has nothing to do with his real world intelligence. So her calling him stupid every time should be corrected. He leveled up strength yet hes not picking up buildings. So why would the intelligence effect his actual intelligence? It doesn't

[@razoredge700]

when it comes to the intelligence stat , every stat when leveled up affects the physical body in some way , str increases your muscle mass , perception hightens your senses and so on . but investing points intelligence might affect the brain in some ways ,that includes your memories and personality . in a game it helps you cast better spells but it is not a game it is his real body . would you try to increase your intelligence knowing it might affect your memories and personality . if he invested a single point in it . he would know what would happen the next time. its not change that gives rise to fears .its not knowing what those changes might be. the fear of unknown is one of the biggest fear out there.

[@nathanhobert958]

My biggest problem with the show is Jinwoo's failure to take all the dropped weapons or gear of his defeated foes. His dagger can't get through the armor, so why doesn't he pick up some of the Maces or war hammers the knights have? Same in earlier episodes before he got the system he had killed at least a couple goblins with both swords and armor he could have used, (and maybe not ended up getting so injured) instead he only took their stones.

[@VictoriaWalker8]

I'm just a little bummed about the fact they censored a lot of Jinwoo's injuries during Igris' fight. Igris almost killed him there, he was supposed to be as badly injured as he was against Cerberus, the gatekeeper. Without the blood, makes it looks like way easier and less dangerous as it really was. Makes it seems he wasn't as beated and under level to fight Igris. Yeah the armor help him a lot, especially when he stopped Igris' sword with his hand, but the armor alone isn't enough to protect against Igris' brutal force.
