Wow what an incredible first season of Solo Leveling. Season 2 can't come fast enough!

[@ghostrise1212]

btw igris will have a personality he is still like a knight he basically got revived so.

[@shatanikdas8249]

Second season teaser had already arrived... go and react....🔥🔥

[@darbs1832]

@@shatanikdas8249 has one or two seconds of a new image basically. Not worth reacting to.

[@commanderobelisk]

Melanie is correct and you are wrong @StruckByBelz Ingris will have dialogue and he will indeed be a leader. He will be a character and be voiced.

[@commanderobelisk]

The lesser beings that Jin woo reanimates don't have a personality, but characters like Ingris certainly do and they have a fair amount of dialogue.

[@Wierdman69]

bro got gaslighted by the system into choosing "necromancer " 🤣😂

[@Mr9TalesFox]

Do you want to be necromancer? No. It's special job. Yes.

[@CrisHermetica]

It's like Windows. Do you want to update your system? No Are you sure? Yes Updating Windows anyway

[@snvhill]

What's great is how much it does seem like idiot proofing. "Delete this file." "This is permanent, are you SURE about this?" It really seems like the system might just be careful and user friendly about something this important. And it is. But not necessarily to Jinwoo.

I'd still like to know what would have happened if he still declined.

@@faheem1818 in manhwa before igris fought jin woo igris already knew jin woo was a candidate for a shadow monarch so he was really anxious what would be his entrance would be before fighting his liege. Igris power was also sealed by original shadow monarch ashborn inorder for it to be balanced for fighting the candidates of shadow monarch like jinwoo

What I don't really get still is how Ashborn changed Igris appearance to not look like part of his Shadow Army, and how he made it possible for him to be arisen again by Sung Jin Woo.@@badfreed1512

The single most iconic word in all of manhwa… ARISE! The birth of the SHADOW MONARCH. This was only the prologue. The arc starts off with a bang. Can’t wait for season 2.

[@yashasveejha4896]

"igris wont have personality" famous last words.😂😂

Now solo leveling has started, this episode marks the beginning of Jinwoos real journey and I love how the series was handled also glad second cour has already been annouced

[@BetterKeepCalmOfficial]

@@SungJinwoo_. oooh ok. should i read manga? or save for anime

[@apoorvjoshi2383]

I am very strongly in favor of Mel's opinion lol. Igris was sooooo cool to be left wasted. While what he said was not wrong, Igris, just feels like a loyal comrade...from beginning to an end. He has a lot of shadows, but i swear, nothing makes me happier than seeing Igris appear. IDK i just feel very protective of igris for some reason haha.

[@NickEclipse]

JinWoo’s speech + Igris kneeling along with the rest of the shadow gave me chills throughout my body. I was skeptical about watching this anime at first but thank goodness for my curiosity 🔥🔥

[@pawnee2419]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I did see a lot of dissing about it from other Manwa readers like how it is Mid leveling or the anime adaptation will be bad. Glad to see the studio prove their capability. Solo leveling story is simplistic and one big hype train. Once you’re in it can either hook you up real good or be a snooze fest.

[@spookycheese6218]

​@pawnee2419 dude hardcore LN and manga reader here...they did thier best to match that godly art and No joke to say A1 cooked ...also I like the anime a bit better because they added extra info from the LN instead of the weird pacing of manhwa

[@KyubiANDnaruto]

@@pawnee2419 agree with you, happy they delai the anime to give us this quality, as a reader there was some mistake but the overall work is amazing.

[@soulscream009]

Ur gonna eat good in upcoming seasons

the story starts now and you wont be disappointed!

[@phatvath]

This is when jinwoo just becomes a complete powerhouse, can’t wait to see it

[@MOMO-g4m1b]

Omg!!!! Great episode! Jinwoo is so cool 😭 Solo Leveling season 2 was announced and I'm really looking forward to it! 🔥😆

[@zenandetwalo2299]

Just finished watching your reaction! So, I wanted to clarify the post credit scene, NO SPOILERS: Basically, what Choi and his guild spotted flying over the ocean was an ant. The post credit scene has a dead ant with wings on the table. They've never seen one like that before. After the repeated failures of the Jeju Island raid, they sorta just left the island to its own devices since the Island is secluded from the rest of mainland South Korea. But now that they've discovered an ant with wings, it means they are evolving at a rapid rate, which makes them a much bigger threat since they could soon reach the mainland at this point. So, it's suddenly more pressing for them to go back to the island to try clear the dungeon. Hope that helps 🙏🏾.

[@jayzfreshx3]

Chimera ant lol

[@TheDevilSpawn]

​@@jayzfreshx3exactly like a chimera ant.

[@divinest]

Igris has a personality, he is a character like Rimuru's minion like that Diablo

[@kta8838]

This is also a spoiler…

[@malyrbt7093]

not really compering igris to actual character is crazy

[@lexus9563]

Lmaoooo bro Igris isn’t gonna have personality?? 🤪 he denied jinwoo twice and it would kinda defeat the point of jinwoo saying all that to him in the 3 attempt

[@itssimplynene]

The single most iconic word in all of manhwa

[@Peer_Domain]

This is just the beginning And this is just the end of the first core The second core will be out by the end of this year or the beginning of next year hopefully

[@Ronbonbon7]

The epilogue was showing a sneak peak of the Jeju arc ants! They’ve evolved since the last time hunters went to the island to take them on

[@mattheffelfinger8263]

Been waiting on this reaction since I saw the title. Notification Squad 🎉 Season 2 already confirmed. Now, onto the reaction. Can't wait to see your hype.

[@FlameToBolt.inquiries]

19:50 just to clarify jinwoos shadows are not just abilities they have their own thoughts and personalities each and every shadow is its own character. Jinwoo is basically letting them live life again they can also progress in ranks just like jinwoo himself as u saw the normal knights had lvl 1 but Irigis was already lvl 7 just due to how strong he was in his previous life. He also has a time limit in which he can extract someones Shadow/soul *Remember in jjk that witch that brought back toji its something similar to that but in this case jinwoo is summing the soul aswell as the shadow body but in jjk the witch only summoned the body* The shadow soldiers also have 100% loyalty to jinwoo being he is the “SHADOW MONARCH “ (jinwoo basically their king) they also will stay with jinwoo for as long as he lives and he can summon them whenever in any scenario.

[@NightWalker989]

Igiris is not an ability, he is the same as when he was fighting Jinwoo. He can think for himself as well. In other words he is concious. Not just igiris but all the shadows. You will see it in the future but igiris more of a side character, with a super edgy personality.

[@jasonarendse943]

"Arise" gave me shivers

[@Gheniel_]

16:15 its not RNG, Jinwoo said in this episode while reading his new necromancer skills that the shadow extraction depends on how stronger than him is the creature and how much time passed since it's death.

Regarding Igris being just a skill...shadows keep their personality, so he is not just a faceless minion

[@yomi4721]

😂😂yoww i felt insulted when he said no personality on my boy They make the story more interesting later on

[@EldenLion]

20:15 well , you can tell that the shadows is like characters 🤣 you will see next season

[@barnacleboiii7181]

For me his past self calling him a dreamer that never learned his place hits hard. Everyones their own worst critic. That thought alone explains his drive. He was always the weakest. Its not enough for him to be just not weak. He wants to be as far from it as possible. Its like being weak is the only thing that terrifies him anymore

[@BloodSasuke101]

Shes got good instincts about Igris bro! Manwha readers know!

[@FreeDZN]

now he's actualy a high A low S-

Theres a reason everyone loves Igris. he has his own fanbase cause hes actually a character

[@phongsaiyuk]

AGREE WITH MEL!! I love the fact that we get more Igris! When he fought Jin Woo and set his sword aside to do hand to hand combat, he earned my respect. "Oh you wanna throw hands? I got hand for you too!| 💪💪

[@Abionx]

lol igris aint got no personality huh? ol'red bean talks without saying words. jinwoo put them hands up, and igris responded with "oh you wanna box? bet" jinwoo stabs him in the eye and he has a temper tantrum and starts wailing on him jinwoo went to res him and he trolled him twice with the fail just to spite/troll him due to the eye stab from earlier lol.

[@AshleyKaveney]

Igris still retains his personality so she’s right

[@Meyweder]

Arise unlocked. Now the Monarch is gonna catch them all :). I'm a little worried about the change they announced because they wanna bring jeju faster, but I hope they won't screw it.considering how they paced it, it is good that they will start season 2 pretty nice with a strong Tank made of Iron ;). Also I'm curious how they will portray Goto and his team considering nationality and all. Let's hope they won't change that. Also I can barely wait for the screech.

[@925bayareatycoon]

1:00 it’s just they did like 60 chapters into 12 episodes in tower of god that’s what everyone complained about

[@captaincolden3067]

This is when it gets real

[@Phenominal_C-Zennie]

Just want to clarify: there are only 7 S-ranks in Korea, they have stated it in the earlier episodes. So the group that is currently on this Jeju Island recon mission - only 2 S-ranks we know: Guildmaster Choi (red head glasses) and Cha Hae-In, and the others in the group are A-ranks. And its stated that Cha Hae-In wasn't a hunter in the previous raid attempts.

[@Jbig1430]

I like what they did at the end they changed jinwoo voice when he was speaking to igris, it makes it seem like someone else was speaking not jinwoo. Especially when he setup the Arise command it was like it was not jinwoo's voice you can tell its something more to his power that he is not aware of as of yet.

[@yannisdekonoha]

Now you'll get why everybody's so hyped, from now on, any opponent he'll fight in the future can join the army, and yes they keep their personality and such, every shadow army member is it's own character they're not just "skills", you'll even see them progress and beeing stronger and stronger each time they fight just like jin-woo, they don't just "show up for 1 move and that's it", they can be around for like days or weeks if he has enough mana to keep them active

[@darkren88]

dont worry. the shadows will have personality.

[@Red_one6901]
