Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 9 was rather monumental. It marked the end of Sung Jinwoo's arduous battle with Baran, the Demon King. After vanquishing his foe, Sung Jinwoo claimed the third and final ingredient needed to craft the Elixir of Life. This meant that he could finally go back and use the elixir to wake his mother from Eternal Sleep.

As the hero went to the hospital, he felt some kind of uneasiness because the Elixir of Life was something that only the Player could access, and using it on someone else could have serious repercussions. Despite his apprehensions, Sung Jinwoo decided to use it, which allowed his mother to wake up from her slumber.

Following the incident, the mother and son shared a very emotional moment. Sung Jinwoo and his mother had not talked or interacted in ages, so they were understandably overcome with emotions.

This particular episode was not action-packed, but it was more focused on interactions between different characters. Most fans considered the episode outstanding, but there were some who felt disappointed.

Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 9 Sets An Unwanted Record

New episodes got over 1000 dislikes
Reception could affect future episodes

The fact that Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 9 became the first episode to rack up over 1000 dislikes on Crunchyroll is rather surprising. It was the first time the new season did not focus on the action, and it ended up being disliked.

This sets a dangerous precedent, and the studio might think about trimming similar content from future episodes. If fans react to non-action episodes in such a manner, A-1 Pictures might not extend character interactions, which is one of the best aspects of any anime series.

Despite the number of dislikes, there is no denying that season 2 episode 9 was outstanding. It marked the culmination of Sung Jinwoo's mission. Ever since Sung Jinwoo learned about the existence of the Elixir of Life, he has dedicated almost all of his time to getting stronger and finding the ingredients for the concoction. He undertook several challenges and put his own life at risk just to get the three items.

The Hero Needs To Relax Before Starting A New Mission

After spending so much time fighting and surviving, Sung Jinwoo deserves to rest. Even his mother felt that Sung Jinwoo had been through a lot and clearly needed to wind down. He must relax and spend some time with his family as Solo Leveling enters a new arc, which covers the events on Jeju Island.

The arc will focus on Jeju Island, which has been under the control of ants for a long time, but the Hunters have decided to take action because of their growing threat. The Hunters realized that it was high time that they dealt with the problem. Obviously, Sung Jinwoo is going to be part of the expedition, so fans can rest assured that their favorite hero will be involved in some high-octane action.

Solo Leveling is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
