REVIEW: Solo Leveling’s Fourth Episode Is the Start of a Hero’s Journey

When Solo Leveling’s Jin-woo Sung takes his chance to power up from a game system — one somehow synchronously connected to both his body and mind — he has an important choice to make. He can either shiver in fright, praying to live as he did in the Cartenon Temple, or fight back and give his all to rise up in rank. Episode 4 is when viewers finally see Jin-woo push forward.A-1 Pictures brings Chugong’s fan-favorite manhwa, visually elevated by Redice’s Dubu, to the anime medium. Noboru Kimura — the writer of the more introspective Solo Leveling Episode 3 — returns, giving the directorial reins to Toru Hamazaki. Rina Honnizumi and Eiji Hanawa appear in cameo roles as Joo-hee Lee and Chi-yul Song, respectively. But it is Taito Ban as Jin-woo Sung whose voice echoes the strongest throughout the fourth episode (titled “I’ve Gotta Get Stronger”) as a solo dungeon break finally tests the hero to his fullest.Episode 4 is where Solo Leveling lives up to its name. With Jin-woo being the only focus, the narrative has every chance of becoming monotonous. But to Kimura and Hamazaki’s credit, the pacing spaces out the action sequences evenly more than the manhwa ever could. There are long fight scenes with short breathers in between, and everything is connected through Jin-woo’s nervous actions. While this might seem to break the story’s flow, it allows the exposition to blend with Jin-woo’s struggles as he learns new skills and tricks from the system. The viewer is learning along with him. The only place where it deviates from Redice’s webtoon is its lack of variety amongst the enemies. The episode starts with the Steel-Fanged Lycans attacking Jin-woo — but they quickly become no match for him. To keep spawning the same monsters is a lazy setup; the only saving grace is the boss battle with a giant snake.
