Exactly.
The S-Ranks are what made this show interesting.
Them being outclassed and basically declassed to E-Ranks in this fight, and nothing short of that just happened, ruined the whole show.
I'd argue the same for one-punch-man btw. It's necessary that they are able to do stuff.
At the very least OnePunch's premise is the joke behind all of it, this show however tries to be serious and edgy about it.
Exactly.I wonder if they introduce leveling up for everyone. Otherwise, all those S-rank hunters will be literally useless going forward, since I assume Jinwoo will continue to encounter stronger enemies.
He shouldn't (from before this raid). But from the broadcast, perhaps. He has obviously watched it and the big panorama shot had him as a healer shown in the team.Forgot about that S-rank healer. I don't know if Jinwoo knows about him or can sense from his remains he was a healer.
Btw. the Black Ant absorbed the power of all his kills.
Meaning he is basically 8 S-Ranks strong. On top of that, he ate the queen. MC defeated him anyway.
Any S rank holding his own against MC must be an absolute canon, making every Korean/Japanese S rank look like an A rank at best.
That means, during the S-Rank training fight bit, MC was just toying with them already (after all, not a single level up has happened from there to now) and any talk about "how good they are" is just pointless pampering trying to make people fawn over him and how "humble" he is or whatever.
This show had a really good MC, really good "NPCs" that have made good decisions and have shown intelligent behaviour (like during the High Orc fight etc). This whole arc ruined it all imho, because no matter what happens now, either everyone becomes MC and levels up and thus it becomes boring, or everyone will remain useless and uninteressing and it will become "Monologue: The Anime"
But guess what, the show is called SOLO LEVELING.
But to be fair, MCs father made it clear that the S-Ranks are pretty useless like 8 episodes ago.
