I'm not 100% sure since I'm an anime only, but I think i remember the description of the elixir saying it only works for incurable diseases & conditions. I see it as like a miracle drug, but since Cha doesn't have any condition or disease it's not covered under the elixirs requirements to be effective. (correct me if I'm wrong manhwa readers)

Phil

The elixir of life is only able to cure illnesses not wounds. When he gave to Cha it says "the condition is not covered by the drug", because she doesn't have an illness.

Taito Ban (VC for Jinwoo) is a relatively new voice actor when it comes to anime (started 2017) and he's only done some supporting characters in animes you've seen. This is his first big break and I'm sure there will be more to come, which is exciting since he is freaking amazing.

okay so a few things! when Jinwoo said he couldn't transfer the healing potions he meant he couldn't physically give it to them, so he had to ask them to open their mouths so he could pour it for them lol. The elixir of life didn't work on Cha because it said that those specific types of conditions (like injuries and stuff especially how severe Cha's was) aren't covered by the elixir, that's why it didn't work for her. This fight was absolutely amazing and it did the fight in the Manwa justice IMO

Tom

Totally agree - the fight was just more digestible despite it being so fast still. I think the color outlines helped a ton and the dark backgrounds they used. In the fight against Baran it was raining and i felt the background conflicted a bit with the actual fight

When "King ant" turns into Hollow Knight boss you know shit is about to go down. As for the elixir not working, Senzu Bean was not cure all, fix all either. It couldnt cure Gokus heart condition for example.

Meg

Ange's reaction to that mid episode cliffhanger did not disappoint hahaha! Also Carlie calling the Ant King pretty after his transformation was so cute xD Jinwoo messed up the Ant King the way Levi messed up the Beast titan, absolutely loved it! (I will never stop referring to Levi Ackerman whenever a character goes mutilation god-mode like that) A-1 cooked a whole ass meal out of this episode and then some! 20/10 absolute PEAK adaptation. In the manhwa (and the novel I believe) we see Jinwoo defeat the Ant King fairly easily, which absolutely works for the manhwa since part of what makes it amazing is Jinwoo aura-farming pretty much everywhere, but I also LOVE how they decided to make him sweat a little in the anime version. The way they set it up, the Ant King is like an alter-evil version of Jinwoo. Similar traits in that the Ant King evolves by taking on the powers of the beings he kills, while Jinwoo levels up each time he defeats an enemy/dungeon boss. (the manhwa explains that the poison the Ant King used on Jinwoo was one he obtained and modified by eating a cone snail or something). The anime used the parallels of Jinwoo in season 1 ep 6 and the OST Dark Aria with the Ant King vs the Korean S-ranks last episode to further highlight the similarities between the two. The reason the fight was "easier" is because unlike the other hunters, Jinwoo's skills evolves each time he trades blows with the Ant, something he also notices while fighting. The Fatal Strike is what he used against Igris in season 1 which now upgraded to Mutilation during his fight with AK. The way the anime *shows* these changes through the fighting by having Jinwoo struggle a little bit at the start to later overpowering the Ant King, likely due to his rate of evolution being higher than the insect, was just so incredibly well done! Genuinely, hats off to A-1 for doing that. It made an already epic fight in the manhwa ten times more epic in the anime version. Indeed the animation was peak, the voice acting was S-tier, the OST is so goddamn good! The episode direction overall has me speechless, this is beyond what I had imagined this fight would look like in anime-form. Both Taito Ban (Jinwoo VA) and Akira Ishida (Ant King VA) went all hands on deck for this episode. Abolutely absolute PEAK man...! Taito Ban recruiting Ange into his shadow army with his one liners xDD Fun fact, Akira Ishida also voices Akaza from DS, and as Akaza he says the same line that Ant King here: "I have to hurry and get out of here" xDDD (he said that in relation to the sun coming up right after he'd fatally wounded Rengoku) Two different characters, same voice, two different contexts but same lines lmaooo xDD I also think about the Jinwoo vs Baran fight, while the animation and SB/ED (imo) was really very good, the fight itself felt messy and hard to follow due to the composition, like the background rain etc. Felt a little too crowded. And yes, the frames felt neater and crisper(?) in this fight. I'll say it again, I am absolutely LOVING this adaptation of Solo Leveling, and while there may be folks who disagree, I feel like A-1 was the best choice for this anime seeing just how dedicated and passionate they are about giving the best justice possible to the series. At least with the important story-beats. Even when they cut stuff from the manhwa, so far I have not felt that it impacts the overall story negatively. Credit where credit is due, they're doing such an amazing job with this anime and I'm so so excited to see what they'll give us in the next seasons. Can't believe there's only one more episode of S2 left omg! >< Thank you C&A for a banger reaction as always!! <3

Evan Valenti

Maybe I'm jaded, but I wasn't that impressed. Not a competitive fight, no emotion behind it, not even dialogue. Just goes to show most the anime community only really cares about good animation and looking cool. (Gonna get cooked for this take, but oh well)

Whammadoodoo

It’s not easy to notice for most, but Jin Woo should have lost this fight. The only reason he survived was because the system intervened and offered him a max upgrade to Fatal Strike one microsecond before his brain gets skewered. That’s why the Ant King screamed HAX! Because it is.

Raul Velazquez

21:00 man Carlie is a bit mean to the poor ant haha, gotta look at this from its perspective. It’s born to find humans trying to kill its siblings and mother in their home of course it’s gonna have some sort of hatred towards humans.

zzip711

To Carlie's point - The fight against the demon guy in the castle, the rain and darkness really washed out the scene, making the action hard to follow. This scene was much easier to follow.

Ananth Varma

the elixir works on magical level. Cha's damage was pure brute physical damage so it couldn't do anything.

Moxie Not

for the potion, hp was too low to heal up, for the elixir, it heals illnesses.

Gabriel Barott

I definitely feel it would have been more satisfying to see Jinwoo bleed a bit from such a high level threat (as in, i wish the black ant was more of a devastating foe for him). Though I think it could be that this was more intended to show off just how strong Jinwoo's gotten, when compared to other S Rank hunters. My guess is they wanted to show us a spectacle, displaying Jinwoo's power, so that we understand how strong future enemies are going to need to be for Jinwoo to be pushed to the edge. Not to mention Jinwoo DID almost die, but it was quickly dealt with by the system. I think for those saying it was not impressive though, I don't think that's necessarily a fair assessment, objectively. If that's just an opinion you have, that's understandable, but it was extremely impressive in terms of animation. I also feel like the emotion was there to a degree, with him essentially needing to win this fight to save Cha. Though I can understand if that feels a bit lacking as a factor. Still though, arguably one of the most insane fights in anime. The only fights I can think to compare it to in terms of animation quality and complexity are Tengen vs Gyutaro, Saitama vs Boros or Sukuna vs Mahoraga.

Yashu

I feel differently than you guys, I liked fight vs Baran more for some reason, maybe it's becouse Jinwoo was struggling more idk

Ryan

The healing potions early in the episode was better explained in the manwa at an earlier stage. When he said he cant "transfer" the potions he meant he cant physically hand a potion to someone for them to drink themselves. Once the potion leaves his hands its useless, hence why he pours them into peoples mouths.

Xaniss

Yeah the Elixer of Life only works on curses, diseases etc. Physical injury is not included

Xaniss

Also... With Jinwoo's VA... It's his breakout role, so his first EVER main role. his name is Taito Ban.

Eh

After all this time, it's nice to see the human Beyblade himself, Levi Ackerman, back at it again in this episode!

Hvwkx

in the context of anime only, this was a 10/10 episode. as someone who read the manwha, I definitely wish they didn't change up some stuff but still thought this episode was fantastic. also, Akaza getting PTSD flashbacks with the "I must run to survive" line lol

Rob V.

Gotta love that toe to toe brawl to start off their fight. So epic!

Ash O'connor

i've watched a fair few reactors watch this episode and it seems all most all of them missed the same detail when he made the elixir... when he crafted it, it gave him a total of 6 of them
