Ore dake Level Up na Ken Season 2: Arise from the Shadow Episode 3 Discussion

Bruh the fight in 75th floor didn’t happen either in manhwa or novel. They did 50th fight. The fights aren’t rushed or were the problem lol. The problem is the moments in between or dialogue doesn’t give moments for the watcher to understand. Plus I think the biggest problem I had here was Sung Ilhwan and Dong soo was adapted so poorly imo

Mostly no complaints, but they need to slow down the damn status screens. They pop up and disappear in less than a second, constantly forcing me to rewind and pause to read them. Is spending an extra second so we can read them really going to ruin the episode?

Jinwoo always narrates what's on the status window so you don't have to pause anything!

was a cool ep hwang dong so got cooked

so that s rank basically admitted that he killed his son, and all the father did was defeat him? Not even kill him? This is getting pathetic.

@Yaggamy Not sure that's 100% true...for example I don't think he said anything about Ruler's Hand leveling up. Speaking of, it seemed that there was some significance to that level up that allowed him to use it on the enemy, but I didn't see that explained, so just assuming that was from the level up. It seems to me that Jinwoo narrates the screens which affect the plot (like gaining keys and parts for his mom's potion), but not the periodic status/level boosts/new abilities (not all) he gets. Ironically, he usually narrates the ones that are onscreen long enough to read already (probably not a coincidence...because they're more important)

Anyways, not how my brain works. If they put it on the screen, gotta read it. Is especially a thing in the various anime lately with characters who gain/consume skills from their foes, but they usually have slower status screens. Less important here because the stats don't really matter other than the general sense of them going up constantly. But still!

The anime cut Jinwoo's inner monologue in that scene.
Basically he's unable to avoid Vulcan's attack while in the air, but gets the idea of using the skill to push himself back with the recoil to dodge the blow.

@Yaggamy But when it was level 1 he could only use it on inanimate objects, right? Using it on a live enemy (even to push against) would be new, or am I missing something? I thought that was the change from leveling up from 1 to 2.

There may be additional explanations I'm missing, unfortunately. I'm trying to avoid spoiling the story by reading the webtoon. Once I start reading I won't be able to stop.

When he gets the skill in S1 and tries to use it on a centipede he mentions that "I have to up my proficiency to move something big."
Leveling up means higher proficiency. Which means moving larger stuff. The skill is like telekinesis, or Force Push in Jedi games.
Vulcan was too big to push away even with lvl 2, but by trying to push him away he created recoil which pushed Jinwoo back.

@AMBITZZ This is NOT rushed pacing, the first season was terrible because the pacing was too slow and filled with filler, the pacing of season 2 is much better and is much more aligned with the webtoon. The webtoon might have 190+ chapters but overall the story is pretty short.

The only thing that I don't remember is Jinwoo's dad meeting Hwang, it feels too soon but at the same time season 1 slowed the pacing of the story so much, so for me it just feels a little odd.

Regardless, this second season is miles better than the first season, like the ending of season 1, should have literally been the half-way point of season 1.

There's also the pressing issue that Crunchyroll might not exist in 5 years time and be changed and morphed into something else.
