Fucking THANK YOU. I was so angry at the bitch at the end prolonging the healing of the guy who got wounded. For once, karma striked fair and fast!
And yes, this anime is now a total ripoff of Hunter X Hunter and I'M LOVING IT, lol.
As for the S-rank hunters, the kinda appear rather weak now that they're on the island, outside of that fire attack that makes you wonder why they couldn't eradicate them before.
Can't wait for Jinwoo's epic appearance when he switches with one of the soldiers he planted in the S-ranks' shadows.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
I thought they were flirting, and she's gonna ask him to kiss him or something, not that it really matters now.
they couldn't fly until recently, so it would have been possible to scorch the entire island of trees, and then have som mages (even A and B rank) in helicopters rain down spells. keep the ant population smaller, and maybe starve the colony if there's nothing to gather food from. it woulldn't have worked, and maybe pushed the ants to evolve even faster to borrow underground instead, but that's how anime logic works. I guess the ground team of weak fodder hunters are there to fight off any flying ants that go wild after the queen is dead.
yes, he'll somehoe teleport there with the 10 minutes delay and be right on time to save them.
The fact the supernatural powers sporting humans are organised rather loosely like this, in the guilds operating for nothing but personal glory and money, more or less, leads to weaknesses. While the groups in the guilds can work, at least theoretically, in small units to face stronger dungeons and bosses, it's still no military force where every detail is created and trained to function as a part of a much bigger army. The S ranks, especially, don't really need to work that much with others, and when they do, I reckon it's more a bunch of strong individuals working for a common goal, but also competing with each other, than a cohesive force. Even in this operation, which isn't the first against the ant island, the whole strategy is extremely simple, probably because anything more complicated would have zero chances of working, with such headstrong individuals. Even this isn't so efficient because the hunters, due to being strong individualistic fighters of different types, aren't genuinely combining their power. They were merely given places where to fight, but they act like it's every man for himself.
Normally I'd say Jinwoo is behaving irrationally because if the ants win and infest the mainland, it's not like his mom and sister could keep living peacefully. But at the end of the day, he could have probably cleaned the island on his own, so he doesn't need to take it awfully seriously. At least as long as he believes the S-rank hunters can pull it off, even if they need to struggle. Furthermore, like MFauli said, he can appear on the island immediately if things seem to go south.
It's another question whether he should feel so relaxed simply because he saved his mom.
That's actually something that Jinwoo is being an asshole with: He didn't tell the guild just how many soldiers he can summon, did he? Because he could literally, as you say, clear the entire island by himself, just sending his army. That would spare so many lives and be infinitely easier than what they're doing now.

Isn't that the point of his charactar? that he's an asshole, and the more power he has, the less he needs to work with or care for others?
He demonstrate his summon at his S rank revaluation and told them he could summon 100 more than he could fit in that hall. I don't think he lied about that.
I was a bit disappointed that the sparring session was just strength and speed. I hoped to see a little more.
They also dropped the need for a translator in the middle of the match.
Tiger also didn't end up coming to a conclusion about whether Jinwoo grew with experience.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Serious question: Why the hell doesn't she just wear a mask? It's gotta be easier than holding a cloth up all the time.
