Cha Hae-In "Smells like husband"

[@JennyKira]

They do say people get attracted by scent especially if they are genetically compatible 🤔

[@alexvalentine5091]

Love at first sniff lol

[@kevinparker5906]

12:35 That's his Ruler's Hand IIRC. I'm not 100% sure about the name. But it's the same skill he used in the Demon Tower to control his dagger.

[@regulist3444]

Yeah, it's actually it, you are 100% right)

[@Zonca2]

He got it from his Igris fight, Igris used it to recall his own sword when he knocked Sung onto the throne and was about to kill him. Its basically telekinesis, he tried to use it on the giant worms in the penalty zone in the last S1 episode and figured out its limited by size/weight of the object but he can level it up by using it more. He also used it against the chunky demon few episodes back to propel himself or the demon, i dont remember exactly.

[@kevinparker5906]

@ You're right. He used it to "push off" from the club so he wouldn't get hit by it.

[@carljohan9265]

It basically extends the reach of his arm. He has to use his own strength just like if he grabbed it with his hand, but Ruler's hand allows him to do it at range.

[@Xerevil]

Oh look,Jinwoo entering a gate with a group of people, what could possibly go wrong...EVERYTHING!!! He really needs to stop putting through hell😂

[@JennyKira]

19:44 Yes!😂 Well Jinwoo has to step up. He really doesn’t have a reason to hide anymore anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️ Next episode is going to be insane 😱

[@IchigoKurosakitheSalvation]

Their child: "Dad, how did you meet mom?" Jinwoo: "She found me snooping, took a sniff of me randomly and the rest is history"

[@BlondyGoesSteph]

Jinwoo is such a good boy. He is doing the mining to gain experience from an A rank gate, since you need a guild and money to get in to a high rank gate. That sad, since he did not pay for this dungeon he does not want to kill stuff in here, keep that in mind for next episode :)

[@whenisdinner2137]

Why does everyone keep forgetting rulers' hand? Like it's literal telekinesis that he got from Igris...

[@DefinitivelyZach]

Because he used it exactly one time before this….

[@OrstedCultist]

@@DefinitivelyZach i wouldn't say "exactly" ( ) is time code for your reactions to it tested in the pinulty zone (9:23 s1ep11) used multiple times in the fight with the mages and summoned armors( 11:56, 12:11, 12:19 s1ep12 ) the fight with the elf boss (15:34 s2ep2) against the demon hordes climing the floors (14:00 s2ep3) against the fat boss on floor 50 (16:33 s2ep3) and in this ep he rips the head off a orc (12:39 s2ep5) 😅

[@Rex-p4u]

" LOVE at fist SMELL "

[@erict1628]

13:15 I'm impressed that you paid attention to every single important details. 🤣

[@DefinitivelyZach]

Always

[@soltymc172]

man when the healer closed her eyes to accept fate and then Jin ripped that Orcs head of with rulers hand

[@VBSuper]

Love at first sniff, here we go. He's got that pickAXE musk. 😂❤ A little detail: the 2 witches you liked (don't deny it), you know, the blonde and the glasses one, you've seen them in first season, episode 6, on the coffee shop, when they met with the third girl, who was the red gate girl. To help the team, Jinwoo used a combination of his Stealth skill (got it from the Association assassin) with his Ruler's Hand (got it from Igris) and his dagger. One thing they ommited, is that he also gains exp from being a support.

[@juur2495]

12:43 Fatality!

[@MizuMing]

6:39 I understand saying rip with the one character, but Mr Song is still alive last I recall. He and Johee pretended that they were the ones that beat the assassin guy remember? As far as I recall, Mr Song did not die after that. 😅 12:52 Could be wrong, but it looked like Emperor's Hand. 🤷 14:55 🤔 Thus far it has always been the girls to notice.

[@Zonca2]

Being noticed by girls, the ultimate power fantasy 😭

[@DefinitivelyZach]

I was more saying RIP to the OG raid team, as it seems he won’t ever be with them again

[@MizuMing]

@DefinitivelyZach Yeah probably not, the healer retired after that and the other guy is still teaching others

[@YuriHyuga86]

21:45 S1 was definitely the prologue since each episode establishes an aspect of that world from explaining the Gates phenomenon to the introduction of the Hunter system and the several organizations involved with the Gates in general. S2 reiterates the previous info’s importance by highlighting Jinwoo’s newfound power. If this goes beyond this season towards its conclusion, each season will definitely be focusing on new plot points that will come up

[@edamame1879]

so many bonks in this episode 😂

[@exia0616]

Some scenes that were ommitted from this: After the first mining, the d rank tank yoojin i think was his name was having a dinner/drinking session with one of his cousins(will have some part later) and he was ranting that it has been over a week since he had a talk with SJW and he cant be reached by his phone. Then when the girl tried to call shw using yoojins phone it connected and yoojin asked if SJW they can meet up. Sjw said yes but only in the afternoon implying he has to finish the mining job first then meetup. Then studio a1 cooked but didnt cooked enough for the raid members, afaik the raid members consisted atleast 15 people since there is a law regarding minimum head count for entering dungeons. Also i kinda wish they didnt remove a piece of line from the healer with dead mom hairstyle. In her line she said kinda something like " if backline gets attack, the tanks failed. If the healer gets attack means the party have failed but if the porter gets attack the guild have failed". This line kinda emphasizes the separate jobs that each individual has to do in each raid. Also bit of a fun joke, the internet is kinda memeing about sjw using axe body spray when Cha hae-in smelled him, but in reality she "pick axe" body spray users.

[@gravityhero2227]

Jinwoo's dad probably holds a lot answers to our questions.

[@bqbrebre7218]

The orc boss design is epic cant wait to see him as a soldier 😊

[@hoangdung7494]

Not the dead eren mom hair cut!!! 😭 she's cooked

[@dcthebeatlord2732]

In season 3 or 4 when they reveal what the gates are it’s going to blow your mind 🤯🤯🤯

[@regulist3444]

S4 probably

[@Le7emeChat]

Reminder: Jinwoo got stealth from the assassin, a dagger with % of paralysis+% of poison. He just has to tap them to slowly slowing them down and eat at the HP. And since all are light slash and no stab, he doesn't break the stealth. Note: if it follow the manhwa, the smell will be explain but much later (the anime is quite fast, so we may get it this season), so be careful of people sharing too much (including me).

[@YuriHyuga86]

19:00 The reveal will definitely be worth it

[@communitygamer117]

I'll only say one thing and leave it at that: Shadow Monarch. That's it. Have a nice day.

[@dcthebeatlord2732]

Season 1 was the tutorial part of the game

[@gravityhero2227]

Time for the next boss battle.

[@Rex-p4u]

AXE proven fragrance.

[@gerdanbombales]

Sponsored by AXE Black, smell fitting for a Shadow Monarch (Official btw)

[@gravityhero2227]

Nice job A1.

[@communitygamer117]

If y'all thought this episode was good....hahahahahahaha.

[@riskysandy5382]

Boooonnnkk😂
