Ore dake Level Up na Ken Episode 2 Discussion
The intro is fire and it reveals how far in the Manwha we will go. The episode count for the first season of Ore Dake Level Up Na Ken is 12 or Solo leveling is 12 episodes. To give some estimates episodes 1 and 2 cover the first 10 chapters of The Manwha by that estimate the whole season should be around 50-60 chapters which was way more than I thought we'd get.
For those who read the Manwha we are going to see a fan favourite. The animation is fluid and the song's lyrics are a clear match for Sung Jinwoo and the theme of Ore Dake Level Up Na.
Some of the lyrics, "pray for what you get a way to get respect".
Subtle Religious Themes I Noticed
In the Manwha we get an image that the anime did not show us and that image is Sung Jinwoo holding onto this purpled thread of fate as he faces death in the covered chapters. In greek mythology there is something called the thread of life and when it is cut the person who the thread belongs to dies.
In the anime intro we see this purple thread, I think it represents Jinwoo's thread of life.
What do you think?
The second is something I noticed when I read The Manwha but never had the opportunity to express. The fire lamps and alter, the whole thing looks like some kind of a ritual and rituals often require sacrifices. Based on the blood and the Altar the first time I saw it in the Manwha I thought it looked like a summoning ritual.
I mentioned a threads of fate earlier are there any other religious themes that I missed that you noticed?
A Clue About Mr Song
Mr Song has some knowledge of pressure points based on the way he knocked Lee Joohee, interesting for a mage to have skills unrelated to their ability to hunt. This is a subtle clue about his character.
Why Sung Jinwoo Is The Strongest
I want you to think about how everyone behaved in this situation. When Sung Jinwoo was standing up Mr Song started telling him to stop until he saw the look in his eyes and realised he had not given up on surviving. I don't know if anyone is familiar with Naruto, but in the early episode, they come face to face with a powerful enemy named Zabuza. We hear the dialogue inside of Sasuke a main character's head, he is so overcome by fear he is thinking about ending his own life to escape. Mr Song mentioned he had been to higher rank dungeons so he has seen how people act when they are faced with powerful foes and fear death. I think his first thought was that Jinwoo was standing to intentionally get himself killed.
Look at how everyone behaved when faced with death for the first time. Sung Jinwoo is so weak has been facing death on even the weakest dungeons. Even his last moments were brave he is the type who can stand up to things stronger than himself.
Sung may be the weakest hunter but he is not the weakest person. He never looked to pass blame when everyone was blaming Mr Song, he was the first to say that was the last thing they should be doing. Sung kept focusing on surviving while others were playing the blame game.
Would You Have Left?
There were six orange flames when they approached the altar with six also being the number of the devil perhaps simply because there were six of them left. Sung theorised that when all of the blue flames went out they could leave, there were twenty-four blue flames. So anime only viewers do you believe that if they let the blue flames go out they could have all left and would you have stayed to find out?
