1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120 I gotta admit, at first, this romantic relationship seemed pretty random, like 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,599 it came from left field. While I read through the series, especially earlier 3 00:00:07,639 --> 00:00:11,240 on Chaw High, in felt like the other girls for the most part, 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,199 who were all similarly obsessed with our protagonists. For instance, if you told 5 00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:18,960 me Sung Jin Wu would have ended up with Lee Joelhee, you know, 6 00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:22,399 the scared b rank healer instead of Chaw, I wouldn't have been surprised, 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,480 especially since they had some sort of connection from the beginning of the series. 8 00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:28,359 But in this video, I'm going to go back and see if there were 9 00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:32,600 in fact clues earlier on and throughout the series that these two would get together. 10 00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:36,960 And of course we'll discuss there happily ever after two, including their overpowered 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,920 son. But first, if you do enjoy seeing Soul leveling videos like this 12 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,000 one on the channel, I want to keep them coming. They jailed the 13 00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:46,479 National level Hunter within and smash that like bund joined the Solo Leveling fan by 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,759 subscribing and hitting that notification belt, so you don't miss future SOULO leveling videos 15 00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,920 and updates. And now, without further ado, let's jump into its spoilers 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,960 and all. So if you only read the first few chapters. Chances are, 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,399 as I mentioned, you'd think jin Wu would end up with Joe, 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,439 he the B rank healer. Even when our boys Sung was an E rank 19 00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:08,439 and people joked about him being humanity's weakest hunter, Lee still showed an insane 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:14,120 amount of interest. Despite her fear. She often accompanied Sung jin Wu so 21 00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:17,719 he didn't get killed, and even got mad at him for how often he 22 00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,000 got hurt. She saw something injin Wu before he became an overpowered badass, 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,359 and for that you got to give her props, and it makes sense why 24 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,280 she'd be shipped by some with jin Wu. But alas for Lee, jin 25 00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,079 Wu isn't into scared ber ranked girls. He's only into badass S rank girls. 26 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,760 As we're about to see now. Credit goes to the anime because they 27 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,840 did show Chav being badass and popular in the very first episode. At the 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,000 very least, you can't say she came completely from nowhere because they hinted at 29 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,040 her future importance. In contrast, in the webcomic, we have to wait 30 00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:53,079 until chapter sixty five. That's a lot of chapters. Jin Wu joins the 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,040 mining team in a dungeon that Chaw's guild is handling. She's introduced as the 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,799 lady with a sensitive nose. She's all introduced as a hyphe figure. She 33 00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:05,640 is the s rank vice master of the country's strongest attack for us. Jin 34 00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:09,080 Wu wonders how many women are there in the world with such energy and thinks 35 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,479 that she's at least on Troy Jong Ian's level, maybe even higher than that, 36 00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,159 thus implying that she's even stronger than the guild master, who has been 37 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,120 called the ultimate Soldier. So immediately Sung jin Wu does notice her power and 38 00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:25,479 that she's probably the strongest girl in Korea. I don't think he was thinking 39 00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:30,240 about how strong that would make their son yet, but it's interesting that he 40 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,439 takes note of her before she takes note of him. She, for her 41 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,120 part, seems to sense Jin Woo's strong presence, but Jin Woo masks it 42 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,159 in time and then remarks that she's sharper than he thought, meaning his future 43 00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:44,680 wife impressed him. When Jin Wu sneaks off to check out the boss of 44 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:47,000 the dungeon, Cha is the one who asks him what he's doing. He 45 00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:51,319 says he got lost. At the same time, though he smiles, thinking 46 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,759 that Chaw is not normal since she was able to get on his back. 47 00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:00,000 She also gets even more curious about him because she noticed he was holding away 48 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,439 weapon, but it's suddenly vanished. She asks him to leave and not aggravate 49 00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:07,319 the boss, but as he's passing by, she notices something jin Wu doesn't 50 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,159 smell. She even smells him to make sure, and as she points out 51 00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:13,919 there's no stench, which is saying something after how much manual labor, our 52 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,759 boy just did her cheeks get red and she asks if he's really a hunter. 53 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,919 When she sees he has an E rank, she wonders if he didn't 54 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,240 smell just because his rank was too low, but then she says no, 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,840 not only did he not smell badly, he smelled nice, so from their 56 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,240 first meeting she sniffed out her future husband. From her perspective, this definitely 57 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,800 made him special and one of a kind. Again, most of us probably 58 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280 assumed that, like many other girls in the series, it's not weird that 59 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,400 this one fell for it, and the smell thing might have been explained away 60 00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:46,439 by the fact that jin Wu is not human in the conventional sense. Perhaps 61 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,240 players don't give off smells like ordinary hunters. However, in retrospect, Knowing 62 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,599 what we know now, it's likely that there is more to it, and 63 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,840 it's almost like Chaws knows was telling her who her soulmate was right from the 64 00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:04,039 as mentioned, jin Wu was also impressed multiple times by Cha, but it 65 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,319 didn't really get into romantic feelings yet, and it seems that a recurring thing 66 00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:13,000 in the series is that jin Wu is ignorant of all the girls that like 67 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,199 him. He's clueless and is not convinced that he's much of a catch, 68 00:04:15,399 --> 00:04:19,319 so he doesn't really think of girls he encounters in a romantic way. I 69 00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:23,959 guess since we're dealing with an action story rather than a romance, it actually 70 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,879 works so that the romance doesn't slow down the story too much until the time 71 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:30,800 is right. But clearly there were clues that from the get go each one 72 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,639 noticed that the other was special. After this encounter, one of the miners 73 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,639 tells jin Wu that it's rare to even get to talk to Cha once. 74 00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:43,439 He calls jin Wu a lucky guy, so even he was telling us that 75 00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:46,879 something special had just happened. The whole smell thing is then explained in further 76 00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:51,519 detail. We're told Cha is able to smell a certain scent from hunters, 77 00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:56,240 and apparently it's quite foul, and that is why she covers her nose with 78 00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:59,839 a handkerchief. Jin Wu wonders if that's why she asked him if he was 79 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,399 a hunter. He recalls the I self who said jin Wu wasn't human because 80 00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:08,480 the voice in their heads telling them to constantly kill humans was not telling them 81 00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:12,079 to kill jin Wu. However, the fact that Chaw didn't say that she 82 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,959 could not smell him, but that he actually smelled good leads me to believe 83 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,639 that it wasn't just that. The romantic in me wants to assume that her 84 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,560 senses identified her future husband, Aka's soulmate even before her mind did, and 85 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:28,319 as we'll see in a bit, this connection does transcend time and even different 86 00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,360 timelines, so the notion is not quite as far fetched as it may seem 87 00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:34,959 at first glance. That night, Chaw can't help but think about jin Wu 88 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,279 again. She tries to find information on him. She's fixated on him, 89 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:42,759 but she doesn't know why, thinking maybe he's a spy from another guilt. 90 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,240 This is when she finds out that the Association has put a block on his 91 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,439 data and that that is the first time she's seen that for a non highly 92 00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:53,040 ranked hunter, jin Wu just keeps getting more and more mysterious in her eyes, 93 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:56,800 which is definitely not hurting his chances. Frustrated, she throws herself into 94 00:05:56,879 --> 00:06:00,639 bed, wondering why was he different. Out of all the hunters she's met, 95 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,160 He's the first to smell nice, so clearly she was into him from 96 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,319 the beginning. But we gotta keep going since, as I mentioned, a 97 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,600 lot of girls were albeit she's the only one who fixated on his nice smell 98 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,240 though. Soon enough, Chak comes to meet jin Wu again at work when 99 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,879 he's supposed to be with the mining team again. Then she hears that he's 100 00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:21,240 actually filling in for the porter, so he is on the strike squad. 101 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,279 She puts this info of him an E ranker being unafraid to enter the dangerous 102 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,360 gate with what happened yesterday with seeing him with a weapon in his hand in 103 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:32,800 front of the boss, and decides something fishy is going on. She goes 104 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,920 into the gate to investigate, but yeah, let's just take a time out 105 00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:40,959 and say she is showing a lot of interest for someone who usually doesn't even 106 00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:44,439 talk to people. She also realizes she didn't bring a weapon, so she 107 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,360 borrows a pickaxe from the mining team. She's not super happy with it and 108 00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:50,759 thinks she'll go without a weapon for a second, but then thinks better of 109 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,079 it and grabs one anyways. Meanwhile, as an E ranker, Jin Wu 110 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,040 is about to take on the high Orcs that were clearly too much for the 111 00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:01,959 strike squad summons his shadows. Eventually, Chaw shows up to see the battle, 112 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:05,720 carrying her peckaxe. Of course, she's shocked by what she sees and 113 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,800 says that mage type hunters specializing in something magic are only capable of handling one 114 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,199 or two beasts at most. In other words, jin Wu is insanely powerful. 115 00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:19,120 He is confident in his victory and effortlessly overpowers the boss, saying a 116 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:25,000 mage without his guards can't block an assassin surprise attack. When the dagger doesn't 117 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,160 seem very effective, he switches to punches, as he usually does. The 118 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,639 manager of the surveillance team shows up, and again Shaw takes note that not 119 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,759 only mister Troy, but this guy knows about jin Wu as well. Manager 120 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:40,720 Wu Jinchoul then comments in Chaw's presence that Jin Wu is currently clearing an a 121 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,879 rank dungeon all by himself. Pretty impressive for an E rank Chaw must be 122 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,560 thinking. In fact, she's blown away, thinking he's no doubt one of 123 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,639 the best fighter type hunters, but he can also use something magic. How 124 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,399 many beasts can he control? She wonders. She asks who the hell is 125 00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,560 that guy? After jin Wu beats the boss, Jaw, along with everyone 126 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,079 else, is shock to see jin Wu turn such a powerful boss into one 127 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,120 of his shadow underlings. Now, jin Wu gets red faced and surprised when 128 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,879 he sees that Wu Jin Chrul and Cha witnessed all of that. But to 129 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,600 be fair, this could be less because of any feelings for Cha, and 130 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,920 more because he's been trying to keep his powers a secret for so long and 131 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,160 two big names just witnessed it without him realizing. The surveillance team makes it 132 00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:26,279 clear that they want to protect jin Wu's secrecy and tell the others that they 133 00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:30,120 can't say anything. He also points out that his strength surpasses that of an 134 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,919 S rank hunter even this early on in the story. As Jinu is leaving 135 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,279 with surveillance, Cha reaches her hand out in his direction and wants to say 136 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:41,399 something, but seems pretty speechless. She's then interrupted when someone asks her why 137 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,919 she brought the pickaxe, Cha blush his heart, saying what if he thought 138 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,440 I was weird? So clearly by this point Cha has got it bad. 139 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,720 What may have started as curiosity has now turned into a full blown crush after 140 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,360 witnessing jin Wu's true power and action. And you can't blame triive until she's 141 00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:58,919 so strong for wanting someone who is even stronger than her, like mitso your 142 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,240 demon slayer who can protect her? But by the other lady, She's asked 143 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,279 who is she talking about, and Cha just looks down, embarrassed, saying 144 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,559 never mind. This moment is all the cuter because jin Wu is making a 145 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,200 beast in her own right, arguably the second strongest hunter in Korea, or 146 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,679 at least third, act like an ordinary girl in love. Later, after 147 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,919 some demon tower fighting detours, we see Cha again during chapter ninety one. 148 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,600 At this point, the strongest Japanese hunters and Korean hunters have come together, 149 00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:28,480 and Japan's strongest hunter, Goto, can't help. But notice that Chaw, 150 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,480 along with the Chairman Gogun, he would give Japan's best hunters a run for 151 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:37,240 their money. Then, during a sparring match, we see Chaw in action 152 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,840 against Japanese as rankers, and as expected, she's impressive. Kanatawata comments that 153 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,799 she thought Chaw was just fast, but she was wrong. She also can't 154 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,840 read the pattern of her movements. This is when we're told Chaw's nickname is 155 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,960 the Dancer, and she was given this name because of the way she'd swiftly 156 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,200 kill one beast after the other as if she were dancing. The funny thing, 157 00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:01,639 though, is that she banned the nickname because she found it embarrassing, 158 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:03,679 so not many people call her that, and when you think about it, 159 00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,320 she definitely gets embarrassed a lot. For such a powerful badass, she takes 160 00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:13,399 kinda out of the competition easily enough. When Atsushi Kumamoto sneaks up on her, 161 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,039 she instinctively attacks him with so many punches she's compared to a gatling gun. 162 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,799 People can't believe she hit him so many times in the blink of an 163 00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:22,960 eye, saying no one could have blocked an attack like that, so she 164 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,799 pretty much accidentally embarrassed. This s class not so she gets angry, and 165 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,879 in such cases, he goes berserk. In berserk mode, he's able to 166 00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:33,320 clear a beer ring dungeon by himself, but he may attack friends as well 167 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,559 as foes. Chaw notices how fast he is in berserk mode, but then 168 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:41,720 Jinwu decides to intervene, pretty much coming to Chaw's rescue, not saying Chac 169 00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:45,120 couldn't handle it, but jin Wu says, I think you guys are getting 170 00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:48,320 too carried away. This is just a sparring session. End quote. Either 171 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,799 way, you can say that jin Wu was protective of Chaw, and you 172 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,919 can bet that the fact that he stopped this wild beast for her so easily 173 00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:00,360 only insures Chaw will fall for him even harder. Jin Wu and Chaw agreed 174 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:03,840 to give the victory to the Japanese S ranks since it's a friendly sparring match 175 00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:07,600 anyway, so who really cares? But then Goto, clearly impressed by jin 176 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:09,720 Wu, asks for a one on one. So now, after the Japanese 177 00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:15,360 S ranks have won a competition, the strongest of all Japanese S classes asks 178 00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,399 to fight jin Wu. Both Cha and Bayak are excited to see what jin 179 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,639 Wu is capable of. It's hard to imagine him beating Goto, but at 180 00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:26,000 the same time, he's never failed to impress so far. Even Cha doesn't 181 00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,399 know whether to worry or not. Cha then notices that jin Wu isn't just 182 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,440 hanging in there. He's getting Goto to make attack after attack. Jin Wu 183 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,039 then confidently stops Goto's attack by just grabbing his hand and smiling. The flex 184 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,480 is all the more impressive because he could have grabbed his wrist and ended the 185 00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:45,080 game, but purposely grabbed the hand so that they could keep going. At 186 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,039 this point, Goto, who's used to being the strongest in the room, 187 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,600 is losing it. Soon enough, things get so heated that the other s 188 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,799 ranks jump in to stop them, and Cha and the transformed Biak end up 189 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,120 jumping in to stop jin Wu, saying that that's enough. That man is 190 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,679 in charge of leading the Japanese team in a few days for the Jeju Island 191 00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,120 raid, and nobody will be able to handle the consequences if something were to 192 00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:09,080 happen to him. Jin Wu is calm after the fight is broken up, 193 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,279 but Goto is clearly shook, shown out of breath and sweating. It's the 194 00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,240 face of defeat if I ever saw it. And I say all this because 195 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,320 Cha got to witness her future husband being a badass and not only being protective 196 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,879 of her, but going on to pretty much beat a legend and the strongest 197 00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:26,759 of Japan's as ranks. Like we've seen, she was already interested, but 198 00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,600 all of this definitely makes her fall harder for her crush, and at chapter 199 00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:35,399 ninety five it starts to become clear that, yeah, the author is focusing 200 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,840 hard on Chaw's feelings compared to other girls. By this point, it's been 201 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,480 a while since Johi, our b ranked healer, for example, has been 202 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,519 relevant to the story, but Chaw keeps popping up and there are always clues 203 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:50,200 of her feelings being thrown in. For instance, as they're heading to Jeju 204 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,200 Island, she asks Bike about Sung jin Wu and if they met before he 205 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,639 came, and when Bike says no, why do you ask? She says 206 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:01,840 no reason and looks embarrassed with us single sweat pouring down her head. So 207 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,960 Yes, although it arguably took too long to introduce Cha compared to the other 208 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,840 girls, and that made it seem more out of the blue than it could 209 00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,240 have been otherwise, by this point in the story, the emphasis on her 210 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,759 and her romantic feelings is definitely stronger than that of any other romantic interest, 211 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,559 and it seems even the anime agrees that she should have been introduced earlier, 212 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,399 and that's why they keep giving us scenes with her even before she meets jin 213 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,759 Wu so we won't be caught off guard later. By showing her so much, 214 00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:30,840 they are hinting to us that she will be relevant as early on as 215 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,480 the first episode, and I respect that change. During chapter ninety seven, 216 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,960 Chai is seen taking down Royal Ant guards pretty easily, although she does note 217 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,080 that their bodies are way tougher than she thought. Bike is especially impressed with 218 00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:46,600 her after she gets that boosts from yong Gu, the S rank healing and 219 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:50,799 buff magic user. Bike says that she probably slaughtered at least twice as many 220 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,639 aunts as he did, so clearly she's the most impressive S rank present among 221 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,120 them, and yet she continues to impress. Cha is the one to literally 222 00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,159 sniff out the queen and more guards, and she's the one that ends up 223 00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:05,399 cutting the Queen's head off too. Then, though, comes a threat that's 224 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,279 too much for even her to handle. The Ultimate Ant Soldier Akad and King 225 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,960 aka the Hidden Boss of Jeju Island appears. All the present S ranks are 226 00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:16,639 shocked by only the or and energy of the Ant King. His mere presence 227 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,840 sends a chill down their spines. For the first time, Cha is in 228 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:24,480 real danger. The Ant King appears behind her and delivers a blow that sends 229 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,320 her body flying. She immediately coughs a blood. The Ant King deals with 230 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,200 the others easily and goes off to the feed go too easily as well. 231 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,120 Finally, as Ant soldiers are coming to finish off Chaw's wounded group, jin 232 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Wu exchanges with a shadow soldier and appears he helps the surviving s ranks, 233 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,919 but Cha is unconscious, and jin Wu says that she suffered serious injuries to 234 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,240 the point that he can't heal her with just his abilities, not only that 235 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,960 she's solely growing weaker. In other words, she's gonna die if they don't 236 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,639 do something. The Ant King shows up, and now it's time for his 237 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,639 fight with jin Wu. After some impressive fighting, jin Wu thinks that the 238 00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:58,840 Ant King is getting nervous, but he comments that his team is getting nervous 239 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,480 too. We see an image of Chaw still unconscious, suggesting that Jinu is 240 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,559 thinking of her when he then says, I have to end this fight as 241 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:09,759 quickly as possible. Again, some more proof that jin Wu cares for cha, 242 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000 but we're just getting started. After jin Wu finishes the ant king with 243 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:16,039 his newly unlocked scale, mutilate Bike brings his attention to Chaw in her terrible 244 00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:18,799 condition. Jin was upset, saying, damn, I took too long. 245 00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,480 He says he needs to find a healer fast. He asks the recorder to 246 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:26,600 turn off the camera, and when he says pardon, he says, hurry 247 00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:28,120 up. If you don't shut it off, I'm going to smash it to 248 00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:31,679 pieces. There's a clue as to how badly jin Wu is rushing to save 249 00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:35,600 Chap. No time for politeness with the camera guy. He decides to try 250 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,600 something he's never done to revive the good guy and healer Beyung You as a 251 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,000 shadow soldier. Since it's the only way to save Chap, even if it's 252 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200 a moral he thinks to himself, he has to save Chop. Bike is 253 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,519 upset too by this, but when it's complete, Beyong's shadow immediately starts healing 254 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:52,960 Chop even without orders. Jin Wu can tell he had a good heart, 255 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,200 and he ultimately agrees with the others that as someone who hated violence, Beong 256 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,639 shouldn't be kept as a shadow soldier. And jin Wu releases him, but 257 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,120 only after he saves his future wife's life. Think about it, The writer 258 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,919 might have had anyone be in this life in this situation, but he made 259 00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:11,080 sure that it was Cha, and that jin Wu was worried over her and 260 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,240 ready to break moral rules, albeit only temporarily for her. At this point, 261 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:18,919 the writer definitely knew they'd end up together, if you ask me. 262 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,799 At the funeral for our buff and healer magic user, Cha looks over at 263 00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:26,159 jin Wu and when he looks back, she turns quickly and blushes. She's 264 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,480 definitely got it bad at this point, whereas jin Wu is clueless, question 265 00:16:29,559 --> 00:16:32,840 marks appear above his head and everything. He doesn't know why she's acting this 266 00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:36,600 way, and it's the ongoing thing of him being clueless with girls liking him, 267 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:38,919 whether it's a nurse or the strongest woman in the land. So later, 268 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,879 Jinwu decides to make his own guilt and his bro Jinho joins as vice 269 00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:47,240 master. Who else shows up, well, none other than future wife Cha. 270 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,679 Again, you gotta hand it to her. This girl just won't quit. 271 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,919 She says she's come to sign up for jin Wu's guild. Classic. 272 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,039 Jin Wu is confused, though he's so clueless that he wonders if mister Go 273 00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:57,720 put her up to it, or if mister Troy kicked her out of the 274 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:00,919 Hunter's Guilt. When she says no, he asks, seriously, then what 275 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,880 is it? Why do you want to join the solo player guild? He 276 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,799 wonders why her heart is beating so fast, her breathing is uneven, and 277 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:11,920 she's avoiding his gaze. He thinks to himself that she's trying her hardest to 278 00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:15,079 keep her cool, but there's no fooling me. So instead of seeing all 279 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:18,880 that as evidence that she likes him, he concludes that he should be on 280 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,200 his guard because of her suspicious behavior. He continues his questioning, trying to 281 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,480 figure out why she would want to join his guild. Jin Will says, 282 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,680 I'm pretty sure your contract with the Hunter's Guild hasn't ended yet, and she 283 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:33,200 responds that she has enough money to pay the penalty for breaching that contract. 284 00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:36,200 On a side note, I love that she's in love with him so much 285 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,079 that money literally doesn't even come into the equation. When she's thinking about career 286 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,759 moves in her future, Jin Woo makes it clear that their guild can't afford 287 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,480 to pay in advance that will be sufficient enough for a hunter of her caliber, 288 00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:49,720 and she says it doesn't matter, she doesn't need an advance. He 289 00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:53,160 again asks point blank, why are you going to such lengths to join? 290 00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:56,359 You have nothing to gain. She thinks about telling the truth, but then 291 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,160 thinks, no, he'll think I'm crazy if I tell the truth. How 292 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,839 it started out as a smell in curiosity, as an attraction to his scent, 293 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,920 as she puts it, then she witnesses insane strength. He was one 294 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,920 of the best fighter type hunters, but could also use summoning magic. She 295 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,680 researched him and saw how he got a bunch of hate online because he ruined 296 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,440 Le Minsung's press conference. Then when it came out that he's an S rank, 297 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,960 she thought that she knew it. She personally didn't get the impression that 298 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,920 he was a bad person, though, as the online hate would lead one 299 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,359 to believe. She told herself to stop worrying about him, and she had 300 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,200 no time to waste since Jedju Island was coming up. But when she saw 301 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:34,000 him again at the practice with the Japanese hunters, she couldn't help but think 302 00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:37,279 that he stood out like a burst of color in a grayscale world. This 303 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,039 reminds me of the first episode of Clanad, where Tomoya meets his love interest 304 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,920 Nagisa and immediately the dark colors are replaced with vibrant, lively colors. I 305 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,799 love Clanad and love seeing that idea here too. Keep in mind she was 306 00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:55,000 thinking this and was clearly in love before he saved her at Jedju Island against 307 00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:57,319 the king. She was scared and afraid. The fear of death took hold 308 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,599 of her, but then she remembers waking up after her injuries were healed. 309 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,240 She asks go if Song jin Wu came to help, and he nods. 310 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,519 She makes the cutest expression, blushing and thinking she knew it, so it 311 00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:11,119 wasn't a dream. She thinks to herself, how could she ever tell him 312 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,039 that she wants jean Wu by her side until she draws her last breath. 313 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,960 So sweet and wholesome, heart melting stuff right there. I love it. 314 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:22,599 But then she thinks, no way. Her face is beat red as we 315 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,480 see literal steam coming from her face. Like I've been saying, She's got 316 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,119 it bad. Jinu wonders what she's up to and if there is something she 317 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,200 can't tell him. He thinks to himself that her face is turning red, 318 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,119 so she must be hiding something. He pushes once again, saying are you 319 00:19:36,279 --> 00:19:38,480 not going to answer my question? And she says something that doesn't really make 320 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,200 sense. She says, I want to live a comfortable life. However, 321 00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:45,880 Ginho takes this to mean that the Hunter's Guild must have overworked her. Since 322 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,960 she's only twenty two or twenty three, the burden that comes with being an 323 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:52,680 s ring hunter must be weighing heavily on her shoulders. That's what jin Wu 324 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:55,839 thinks. He feels sorry for her, but is not ready to let her 325 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,519 join. He says there's action entrance test that she must pass in order to 326 00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:03,920 join the g which is hilarious because every other guild would kill to get chap 327 00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:07,640 whatever jin Wu throws out her though, she agrees and asks what kind of 328 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,400 test will it be? Jin Wu still can't believe it, thinking is she 329 00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:12,839 being serious or just plain stubborn. He says that she'll have to defeat one 330 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,480 of his summons, and she feels like he's underestimating her. She asks which 331 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:19,880 one will it be, and jin Wo answers the strongest one just for you 332 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,440 to get to the gymnasium where the test will be. Jin Woo decides to 333 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,200 see if he can carry someone with him using his shadow exchange power. For 334 00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:30,640 him at this point, it's a simple test, but for her, she's 335 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,079 of course flustered. When her crush grabs her and tells her she has to 336 00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:37,039 stick close. She blushes as they get heelported together successfully. Then we get 337 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:41,799 a hilarious moment. Just says she just remembered that she didn't bring her weapon, 338 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,319 and jin Wo actually says, and I quote, ah, you mean 339 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,559 that pickaxe, and quote that's right. Our boy remembers the pick axe, 340 00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:51,720 which bodes well for his interest in Chop. I probably don't have to tell 341 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,160 you that Chod blushes again. As you've probably noticed, jin Wo makes this 342 00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:59,359 s ranker blush a lot. She says that wasn't her weapon, and Jinwoo 343 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,160 just smiles, saying he's just kidding. It was a joke. Jin Wu 344 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,039 doesn't joke around with everyone, so that also bodes well. Eventually, jin 345 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,200 Wu summons Igris to fight her, saying he's the best of his shadow soldiers. 346 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,240 Again, though it's actually the ant King Bedu, so he's being protective 347 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:17,279 of Chaw. Once again, he feels it would be too traumatic to summon 348 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:21,079 Bedu after the ant king almost killed her. So even if jin Wu doesn't 349 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,960 understand his feelings yet, you can't say he's indifferent to cha. He remembers 350 00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:27,440 little details like the pickaxe he jokes around with her. He's protective of her, 351 00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:30,920 willing to bend rules for her, and even worries about something being too 352 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,279 traumatic for her. Now, yes, he didn't summon his strongest beast, 353 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,559 but Igris is strong and he gives him a level S long sword, so 354 00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,759 it would still be a challenge for S rankers, no doubt. He thinks 355 00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:45,880 to himself that she's fast as expected when she dodges one of Igriss's attacks. 356 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,000 When Chairman Goes sees from the cameras what's going on, he remembers when Chaw 357 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:53,680 recovered and asked if jin Wu came to help, and then blushed. Go 358 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,720 finally realizes that she likes jin Wu and says he's been slow to catch on 359 00:21:57,799 --> 00:22:00,839 as he smiles, but I'm thinking, don't worry, Chairman bro, You're 360 00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:04,599 nowhere near as slow as jin Wu to catch off. Wingman Go tells them 361 00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:07,640 to turn off the cameras so they can have their privacy, and as the 362 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,519 building shakes from the battle, he says, ah youth end quote. Now, 363 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:15,480 when he looked at the camera, he only saw them embracing after they 364 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:18,960 came through the portal. So I think you all know what it is that 365 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:22,519 the chairman thinks they're doing right about now. We then jump back to Chaw 366 00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:26,279 and she overpowered Igris. She knows Jinu is going easy on her and asks 367 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:30,039 for the strongest, saying she's been wanting a rematch against the ant king. 368 00:22:30,279 --> 00:22:34,200 He reluctantly lets her fight Bedu, but tells Bedu that he should defeat her, 369 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,400 but also make sure that she doesn't get hurt. When Bedu takes out 370 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,680 his claws, jin Wu lets him know to put them away and says he 371 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:45,319 won't make life easy for Bedu if he hurts her. Even jin Wu is 372 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,319 shocked by how she's not giving up when confronted with the power difference. He 373 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,599 says he didn't think she'd be this reckless and thinks perhaps she has her reasons. 374 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:56,640 I just hope she's not making the wrong call, he thinks him so. 375 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,480 So yeah, because Bedu is a killing machine that is even now repressing 376 00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:03,519 his overwhelming thirst to kill. Chile's pretty much risking her life for a chance 377 00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:07,799 to be close to the one she loves. She's fighting a losing battle for 378 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,079 love and that's so romantic. I love it. I love how far she'll 379 00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:14,480 go. Eventually, she uses her skill sword Light, and it's too strong 380 00:23:14,519 --> 00:23:17,920 for her own good. It triggers Bedu's survival instinct, and he remembers his 381 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,480 queen's command to annihilate the enemy. Jin Wu picks up on what's going on 382 00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:26,119 and loses his composure, screaming stop and even comes to rescue again, grabbing 383 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,039 Bedu's hand. Bedu clearly isn't used to seeing jin Wou this mad, and 384 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:32,839 he trembles, saying, please have mercy. Jin Wu, for his part, 385 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,119 asks if Chia's okay and gives her hand up. One definitely can't deny 386 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,799 his protectiveness over this s rak. Jin Wu asks again, why is she 387 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,319 pushing herself so hard for a nameless skill. He says, she shouldn't be 388 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,240 risking her life over something like this, it's not worth it. When she 389 00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:48,920 doesn't say anything, he asks, are you perhaps interested in me? She 390 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:53,079 says yes, I think so, With even the speech bubble blushing, and 391 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,759 now that she's finally revealed her feelings, jin Wu later wonders about it. 392 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,319 He says, he's pretty sure he's averaging. Look, he asks his sister 393 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,480 how she would rate him in terms of attractiveness, and she just says to 394 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:07,839 her, he'll always look like a bum. Classic brother sister dialogue. Right 395 00:24:07,839 --> 00:24:11,039 there, cha, Though we see in her classic being embarrassed in her bed 396 00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:14,400 position, with her red face buried in her pillow, thinking of when she 397 00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:18,039 said I think so over and over again, it's adorable. She thinks to 398 00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:21,279 herself that she basically told him she likes him, and we see his reply, 399 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,920 which was quote, then I don't think joining my guild was the best 400 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,839 option, he says, isn't there a better way? End quote? So 401 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,240 he didn't reject her, which is notable for our purposes. He just suggests 402 00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:33,319 that she'd go about it in a different way from Chas's perspective, though, 403 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:37,240 She just screams out in embarrassment, thinking of the whole thing and thinking that 404 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:41,400 he probably thinks she's crazy. Then she gets all determined, saying, but 405 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,240 he saved my life, so of course i'd be interested in him. Yeah, 406 00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:47,440 it's perfectly fine, and then again starts rolling in bed saying, who 407 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,960 am I kidding? Everything is totally not okay. Again, seeing such a 408 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,359 strong character acting like a girl crushing for the first time is wholesome and very 409 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,160 cute to see. You know that now, if not before, some part 410 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,559 of jin Wu will start thinking about her in a romantic way now that he 411 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,680 knows she feels that way, and of course he didn't reject her. In 412 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,880 other words, the romantic seed has been planted and we must only wait for 413 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,240 it to bloom in between his busy hunter responsibilities and saving the world and stuff. 414 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,720 She also recalls that when she was healed, Biong told her to tell 415 00:25:15,839 --> 00:25:19,039 jin Wu to be careful of the powers that lie within him. Later, 416 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,440 Jinho brings his a Ran cousin to the guild called su Hung. She's going 417 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,000 to be the third founding member. Hilariously enough, when she posts a picture 418 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,440 of them three on social media, Cha sees it and trembles. Makes sense 419 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,240 that she wouldn't be indifferent since a weaker hunter than her was chosen, and 420 00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:37,440 it's also a pretty girl. And don't worry, she will bring this up 421 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,079 with jin Wu pretty soon. Chai and jin Wu run into each other again 422 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,000 during chapter untre and twenty three. At first, she turns away, pulling 423 00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:48,359 her baseball hat down. Jin Wu chases her down, saying, why are 424 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,039 you running from me? And what are you doing near my office? She's 425 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,920 nervous and man just to say that she left her car in his parking lot, 426 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:56,519 and that's when jin Wu remembers that he forgot that she left her car 427 00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:00,279 here when he used shadow Exchange last time. She asks if he's free right 428 00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:03,440 now. Then she asks about the pretty A rank. She says, why 429 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,440 did you take a photo with her? Does she really work for you now? 430 00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:10,759 If so, why was she hired and not me? Isn't an S 431 00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:12,480 rank better than an A rank? Are the two of you dating? She 432 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:17,759 asks? She finally adds that Biong wanted to relay a message about jin Wu's 433 00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,319 powers, and he suggests that they talk upstairs. It's just the two of 434 00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:23,240 them in the office, which of course Chad's nervous about. Finally, she 435 00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:27,680 continues delivering Beyong's full message that someone pulled him out of an endless darkness, 436 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,359 but he was no longer himself. He was still conscious and his sense of 437 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,759 self was still intact. But he felt as if he had become a slave, 438 00:26:34,079 --> 00:26:37,680 revived to serve him and only him. But the scarier part was he 439 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,440 felt happy serving him. His powers are incredibly strong and frightening. He must 440 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,279 be informed of this. His true army is dot dot dot. That's all 441 00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:48,960 we get for now. Later, when he's checking up on people using his 442 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,039 shadows, he sees Cha in the tub naked, and this time he's the 443 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,799 one that gets flustered and loses his cool. He thinks to himself, blushing, 444 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,960 that he should apologize for that. Maybe he'll buy her dinner or something 445 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,400 thing so clear signs of interest and even thinking about dates by chapter one hundred 446 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,079 and twenty three. Later on, Chaw appears with other strong hunters that enters 447 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:11,880 the Double Gate where jin Wu is currently experiencing the vision of the past. 448 00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:15,480 They quickly realize that they stand no chance against the Architect's powers, so Cha 449 00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:21,039 is charged with waking up jin Wu. The architect gives some serious looking injuries 450 00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:25,079 to Cha after he bests her. He calls the humans disappointing since they don't 451 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:29,799 deviate from the system's expectations. However, Cha does succeed in surprising the architect 452 00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:33,160 by dodging his attack. When he asks what is jin Wu to them, 453 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,400 Cha says were his friends who are here to rescue him. This time, 454 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,640 she's the one trying to rescue jin Wu for a change, and don't worry, 455 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,559 guys, despite what she said, this isn't jin Wu getting friend zoned 456 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:45,200 or anything. Ironically, despite coming here to save jin Wu, this is 457 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,599 when jin Wu awakes and comes to the rescue yet again, smashing the architect's 458 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,559 stone face. Then, with his newly awakened powers, he makes quick work 459 00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,839 of the architect who was giving the others so much trouble. Chaw asks jin 460 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,440 Wo if he's all right when they leave the portal, and at first he 461 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,519 says, yeah, of course, but then he says he's a bit tired 462 00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,680 before he passes out. It's notable that Cha realized something was amiss first, 463 00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:11,000 even before jin Wu did, and it's not the last time she does something 464 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:14,000 like this, as we'll get into. After jin Wu deals with the giants, 465 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,039 when he gets some free time, he thinks to himself that he's not 466 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,240 sure what to do with it. He doesn't even have someone to call, 467 00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:22,680 and who's the first person to jump into his mind? That's right, Chaw. 468 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:26,039 Specifically, he thinks of the time that she revealed that she liked him 469 00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:30,119 by saying I think so, But then he just says, hmmm, maybe 470 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,759 I should try looking for a dungeon that hasn't been claimed yet. Looks like 471 00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:37,039 he's not quite ready for that date yet, but still he's thinking about it. 472 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,400 He's now at the point where he thinks of Cha not only before the 473 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,480 other potential love interests, but even before Jinho and his family. Later, 474 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:48,599 after he defeats strongest ranked hunter in the world, Andre jin Wu, attends 475 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:52,279 an international hunter meeting. When there's a question of what jin Wu will do 476 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,720 if confronted by his father, who people are saying is a monster, he 477 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:57,480 says that if it is a beast, then he'll take it down, But 478 00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:00,160 if he really is his father and not a beast, he's going to protect 479 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,319 his family, even if it means turning all the hunters in the world against 480 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,720 him. And when he thinks about the people he really cares about when he 481 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:10,079 says this, the people who can awaken this level protectingness in him, he 482 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,640 first thinks of Chaw and then gen Hole, so again it's clear he is 483 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,720 willing to hunt even hunters or anyone else if he needs to in order to 484 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,359 protect his future wife. Before the battle what the monarchs? And after a 485 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,079 giant gate appears above the city, even jin Wu, as powerful as he 486 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,319 is, starts to consider that his time might be numbered and if this is 487 00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:30,119 the end, he thinks, who should I spend time with? We jumped 488 00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:33,319 to Chaw and in the middle of sword training, her phone rings. She 489 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,839 tells her coach that she has to get going. Something came up and who 490 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,160 made her run from training so quickly? Who did jin Wu end up calling 491 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,440 before the end came? Why? Of course he ended up calling Chaw, 492 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:47,759 and Chaw ran out to meet gin Wu. When people see them walking together 493 00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:49,880 on there, let's just say a date. People even wonder who's that next 494 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,839 to jin Wu? Is it his girlfriend? They ask? Trustre Up asks 495 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,079 why jin Wu chose to come here to the amusement park with her, and 496 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,119 he says, because you're my only friend. Not quite that, because I 497 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,000 like, which he should have said, and hey, what's Ginho? Then? 498 00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:04,519 Maybe a brother at this point, so it doesn't count as a friend 499 00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:07,480 for that reason, but still that's kind of unclear. But anyways, he 500 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,839 just answers she's his only friend, but hey, at least they're spending some 501 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,519 much deserved one on one time together. And again jin Wu proves how much 502 00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:18,240 he pays attention to Chop like with the pickaxe moment here she says what and 503 00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:22,759 he says, remember in front of the weird statue when she said she was 504 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:26,400 a friend here to rescue jin Wu. She blushes as usual, finally realizing 505 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,880 that he heard that as well, and he says, yeah, I have 506 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,400 better hearing the most. She asks woes with that strange dungeon, and jin 507 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,559 Wu replies he'll tell her some other time once he's processed things himself. So 508 00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:38,960 if you're reading between the lines, it's clear he plans to have more intimate 509 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,799 conversations with her down the line. It's fun seeing how jin Wu uses his 510 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,200 shadows to get some privacy for them, while Chap points out that the shadow 511 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,319 bodyguards are actually attracting more attention, but for jin Wu, it's fine as 512 00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:53,279 long as they're blocked from their site. And by the way, I love 513 00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:59,039 him using his world shaking powers to enhance his date experience. Cha like jin 514 00:30:59,079 --> 00:31:02,240 Wu, has been focused on hunting and thinks to herself, she can't remember 515 00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:04,279 the last time she went out just for fun. Her heart is so light 516 00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:07,240 right now, she thinks, smiling, she says being with him feels so 517 00:31:07,359 --> 00:31:11,039 different, and she brings it full circle by adding he has a special scent. 518 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,319 So we are back to a smell after so many chapters, and don't 519 00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:17,680 worry, it's not even the last time we're gonna hear about how good he 520 00:31:17,759 --> 00:31:21,640 smells. He asks her about going on different rides, and she says yes 521 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,000 to every single one. He asks, do you like all of them? 522 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,880 And she smiles a beautiful smile of pure happiness and says yes, every single 523 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,880 one, and jin Wu thinks to himself, looks like I'm not the only 524 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,519 one who's been wanting to come here, and then he says, all right, 525 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,559 let's go on every ride. When asked if she's having fun, Scha 526 00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:40,000 says she's having loads of fun, but she hasn't screamed at the rides or 527 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,480 the haunted house because the rides feels slow for an s ring hunter, not 528 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:47,839 surprising. Jin Wu smiles and asks her to go ride something actually thrilling. 529 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,079 And no he doesn't mean you know what he means, his shadow dragon, 530 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,359 and I know that sounds pretty bad as well, but that's literally what happens 531 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,200 when they're up there. He asks what does she think, and finally she's 532 00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:04,079 clearly moved by the ride and says, we're going very fast and we're high 533 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,839 up. She smiles and says it's also beautiful. She asks why he went 534 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,319 to the amusement park when he can experience something like this whenever, and then 535 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,200 Jinwu reveals it's because the gate his father went missing in spawned in that very 536 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:20,319 park, so clearly tries someone jin Wu trusts with his most intimate thoughts. 537 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,319 She then says, thank you. I've been meaning to tell you that because 538 00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:25,000 I've received so much help from you. And at this point romance is in 539 00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:29,799 full throttle as she seems to be leaning into jin Wu. The date finishes 540 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,440 off with him showing her a starry sky and even a shooting star. Together 541 00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:36,759 on the grass in the night, She looks at him and smiles. She 542 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,279 leans on his shoulder. Another parallel to Klanad by the way, specifically to 543 00:32:39,359 --> 00:32:44,279 the final episode of Cloud after Story, perfect romantic date in the middle of 544 00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:46,359 all the action, and honestly I didn't think I would, but I gotta 545 00:32:46,359 --> 00:32:51,039 give props at this point already, because many of the shown and we've covered 546 00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:53,319 on this channel have not had as much of a focus on the romance as 547 00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:58,039 this series has had. Before the protagonist finally gets with the girl. At 548 00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:00,119 the end of the series, it seems the two also spent the night in 549 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,119 the forest together bonus points for that. We next see Chad drinking some water 550 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,839 from a pond and jin Wu is putting on his jacket make what you will 551 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,240 with that input. He tells her he knows a nearby hotel that serves an 552 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,680 amazing breakfast and asks if she wants to go there to wash up and have 553 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,799 a meal. She agrees, and they head out on their Shadow Dragon. 554 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,759 At breakfast, jin Wu gets a call now that his phone has the signal 555 00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:23,559 again, and then he hears that there's a monster running wild in the middle 556 00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:27,279 of the city. It's a beast that has wiped out an entire guild in 557 00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:30,359 the blink of an eye. Understandably, that cuts the breakfast short, and 558 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,039 jin Wu rushes to deal with the beast. Monarch business calls, after all. 559 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,559 When the Ice Monarch is ending jin Wu before jin Wu's great rebirth as 560 00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:40,599 the Shadow Monarch, he says that he has a different plan for jin Wu's 561 00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:45,279 country than for the others. He will freeze every single human in this country 562 00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:47,880 and make them suffer for all of eternity. They will live forever as beings 563 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,279 that are neither dead or alive. And who does jin Wu worry about when 564 00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:54,319 he hears this His mom, sister, and Cha. And of course, 565 00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:58,960 when the Shadow Monarch shows jin Wu the dream world where he could pretty much 566 00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:01,799 live out any idea life, he wishes Cha makes an appearance because she obviously 567 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,519 would be an important part of his perfect world. Although jin Wu does decide 568 00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:08,320 to go back and deal with the monarchs anyways, after all, he has 569 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,079 to protect the real Chop. After he defeats the monarchs, tries by jin 570 00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,320 Wu's side as they wait for the giant gate overhead to open, and she 571 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,119 says she's never seen jin Wu so nervous. Again, goes to show how 572 00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:22,239 well she knows him by now that she can spot if something is bothering him, 573 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,519 even while he may look the same to everyone else. Then, right 574 00:34:25,559 --> 00:34:30,519 before his toughest battle against the Dragon Monarch, jin Wu decides to call future 575 00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:34,159 wife try again. He smiles, saying it's me. He apologizes that he 576 00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,840 couldn't call since he's been busy recently. She says, no worries, she's 577 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,119 been busy too, since the Hunters obviously have their hands full trying to save 578 00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:44,000 the world. Right now, she continues saying, right, we haven't seen 579 00:34:44,039 --> 00:34:45,639 each other in a while. Jin Wu says, let's meet up again soon, 580 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,000 and Chaw agrees, saying sure, let's do that. She then says, 581 00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:52,280 jin Wu, promise me you'll come to see me, and he says, 582 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,599 I promise I'll come to see you no matter what. She smiles and 583 00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:59,039 it gets flustered when her guild master interrupts her sweet moment with jin Wu. 584 00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:00,599 He's like, we should be getting back to the world saving business and she's 585 00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:02,480 like, oh yeah, right. So, last time he felt like the 586 00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:06,159 end was near, he went on a date with Cha, and this time, 587 00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:08,039 when he's about to face an even greater opponent, he wants to call 588 00:35:08,119 --> 00:35:12,400 Chai again. At this point, he's got it beat. Then, after 589 00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:15,320 jin Wu beats the Dragon Monarch with the help of the rulers, he decides 590 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,159 to use the Cup of Reincarnation to go back one more time aka to turn 591 00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:23,400 back time so he could beat the monarchs in the dimensional crack before they ever 592 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,920 come to Earth. As a result, a lot of lives will be saved. 593 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,880 Yes, he won't have the credit of saving the world because no one 594 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,159 will remember or witness him doing it, but credit has never been what Jin 595 00:35:32,199 --> 00:35:36,599 Woo was about. Anyways. After he succeeds in single handedly saving the world 596 00:35:36,639 --> 00:35:38,880 and not taking credit, he's back on Earth and who should pass by but 597 00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:42,320 Cha? Now. One of the problems, of course, is that what 598 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,440 happened before with them all happened in another timeline, and this Cha doesn't share 599 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,440 all those memories and experiences with our current jin Wu. She passes by just 600 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,079 when Jin Woo was experiencing a very empty feeling. He's told by the rulers 601 00:35:53,079 --> 00:35:58,000 that he's too strong now that he will attract unwanted monsters and dangers to the 602 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,719 earth, so it might be better for him to leave this I mentioned he 603 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,760 feels like nuclear fuel that has become dangerous toxic waste at the end of its 604 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,599 life cycle. He was needed to save the world, and now that he's 605 00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:09,159 done it, he's just in the way and doesn't know what to do. 606 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,559 But Chaw is like an answer to this empty feeling. He starts chasing after 607 00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:15,440 her. Chaw, for her part, wonders if ice cream always smelled this 608 00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:19,599 good. For full context, jin Wu was just eating ice cream at an 609 00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:22,639 ice cream place, and this is just another reference to her being drawn to 610 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,960 Jinwou's smell. This attraction to his smell clearly transcends time and timelines, and 611 00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:29,760 keep in mind it's a good smell, not a lack of a smell, 612 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,960 which is why by now we know that jin Wu's first theory that she felt 613 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,119 this way because he was a player rather than a normal hunter is just not 614 00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:39,679 true. She's just sniffing out her soulmate. Jinwoo, despite the risks, 615 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,960 ends up deciding to stay because the people he loves are here, as well 616 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,159 as the people who love him now and loved him before, and then my 617 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,559 dad will love him again in the future. Obviously, future wife Chaw is 618 00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:53,000 a big one, but he thinks of Ginho and his family too, including 619 00:36:53,039 --> 00:36:57,039 his dad who is now alive in this timeline. For him, that's more 620 00:36:57,079 --> 00:37:00,360 than enough reason for him to remain here, so he decides to stay and 621 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,119 search for other reasons to stay too, and the chapter and main story ends 622 00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:07,760 with Cha turning around and them staring at each other that's how important this romance 623 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,360 is to the story. It's what the author chose to end it with. 624 00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:14,159 Like I said, most action series do not give the romantic relationship this much 625 00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:16,559 emphasis and focused, but I love that Solo Leveling does. And then just 626 00:37:16,599 --> 00:37:21,199 when you think it's over, no no, we get even more juicy details 627 00:37:21,199 --> 00:37:24,360 in the epilogue chapters. In this new timeline, jin Wu joins his school's 628 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,679 track and field team because there's someone that he wants to meet at the track 629 00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:30,800 and field competition. Spoiler alert, This is Chaw, and it makes sense 630 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,559 that she likes track and field because even in the anime, she was seen 631 00:37:34,639 --> 00:37:37,159 running around the track during this first season. Gin even points out that in 632 00:37:37,199 --> 00:37:40,840 the old timeline she was a talented track and field star before she gave up 633 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:45,360 her dream and became a high ranking hunter. He decides if he enters the 634 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,519 track and field competition for middle and high school students, then maybe he'll bump 635 00:37:47,559 --> 00:37:50,960 into her naturally, and he is older than her, so he's in high 636 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,800 school while she's in middle school. As expected, jin Wu does eventually cross 637 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,880 paths with Chaw again. It's on the street. Her foot is injured from 638 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,920 running and she's nursing it on the bed. What happened is she made it 639 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,320 past the first round, but worries about the rest of the rounds because of 640 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,440 her injured ankle. She's frustrated. Jin Wu starts explaining why she shouldn't run 641 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,199 on a damaged ankle. Well, all she can think about is you guessed 642 00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:15,960 it. He smells, nice, man, I love this show. Jin 643 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,880 Wu decides to heal her ankle. He says, you only get one chance. 644 00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:21,360 You should do your best and run as fast as you can. She 645 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,280 says, wait, haven't we met somewhere before? Like I said, a 646 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:28,880 love that transcends time and timelines, and some beings like the monarchs do retain 647 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,320 memories after the redos, so it's not crazy that humans may retain something as 648 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,880 well from the past timeline. Jin Wu smiles and says, let's run. 649 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,920 If you can run faster than me, He says he'll answer that question. 650 00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:42,880 She saw him taking first place in all the events, though. He asks, 651 00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:45,400 so are you throwing in the towel? She says, could you answer 652 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,000 my question once I beat your record, even if it takes some time. 653 00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:51,239 Jin Wu thinks to himself, she's younger now, but she's still as innocent 654 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,760 as ever. He says, it's a deal time past, and we see 655 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,639 that they see each other over the time skip. Jin Wu studies for college 656 00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:00,719 entrance exams at Christmas Eve a date for romantic dates in Japan, and I 657 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,760 guess for Korea too. Jin Wu and Chow meet up. Jin Wu says 658 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,599 he wants to go to a specific university because there's someone he wants to meet 659 00:39:07,639 --> 00:39:09,559 there. She gets upset, saying is it a woman? Clearly she has 660 00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:13,559 a bat in this timeline too. He says that's a secret, which doesn't 661 00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:16,320 satisfy her. She asks if he remembers his promise that he would answer any 662 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,159 question if she managed to run faster than him. He says yeah, and 663 00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:22,679 she challenges him to run to a nearby Christmas tree to see who can get 664 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,519 there first. He wonders what she wants to ask, and she says everything. 665 00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:30,000 She wants to know what he's thinking about, if the person he wants 666 00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:31,679 to meet at the university as a woman or a man, and if they 667 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,920 ever met before the drag and field competition. He smiles and says all right. 668 00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:38,559 She puts her scarf around him and then cheats. She says Jin Wu, 669 00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:42,559 if you like me, stay right here and don't move. Of course, 670 00:39:42,599 --> 00:39:44,800 by this point we should know that he does like her, and he 671 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,079 stays in place while thinking about how far they've come since their first meeting when 672 00:39:49,079 --> 00:39:52,239 he was on the mining team. She gets to the tree and excitedly asks, 673 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,360 this means I want right. He then tells the Shadow Soldiers to close 674 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:59,920 their eyes as they embrace each other under the Christmas tree, feeling pure bliss. 675 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,960 We get a fun chapter where we see the Shadow Soldiers cheering jin Wu 676 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,599 on in their dimension while he got closer to Cha. There's also a funny 677 00:40:06,639 --> 00:40:10,280 moment where jin Wu straight up shuts down our b rank healer Lee jo He 678 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,119 in this timeline, as if to definitely tell us that he's chosen Cha above 679 00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:17,639 everyone else. As I mentioned in the beginning of the series, arguably Joe 680 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:22,199 he was potential of interest number one, But here she stops him on the 681 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:27,360 street and asks haven't we met somewhere before? And he just says no and 682 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,000 cheps walking. Chaw would probably be so happy to see this utter rejection of 683 00:40:31,039 --> 00:40:35,559 an old potential love rival. In later epilog chapters, we see that Cha 684 00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:37,400 and jin War are married now and have a son. We know that jin 685 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,440 Wu can share memories with people and make them remember the old timeline, so 686 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,480 it seems like he did that with Chaw at some point, since she asks 687 00:40:45,519 --> 00:40:47,519 him why did he go out for drinks when he can't even get drunk, 688 00:40:47,679 --> 00:40:52,440 meaning clearly she knows now about his ability that lets him neutralize all kinds of 689 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,199 toxins in his body. Jin Wu's son is called su Ho, and he's 690 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,360 excited to see his dad. It's funny we see the shadow soldiers arguing if 691 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,360 teaching the little boy academics where swordsmanship is more important, but jin Wu is 692 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,840 like guys at least wait until he learns to walk before you worry about that. 693 00:41:07,079 --> 00:41:09,119 Chad then asks jin Wu for him to come home earlier until his son 694 00:41:09,199 --> 00:41:13,280 learns to walk, and he answers yes, ma'am, so I guess he 695 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,079 can go out drinking with Jinho every night. Later, Chaw freaks out and 696 00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:20,440 phones jin Wu, telling him that their son is already flying before he can 697 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,440 even walk all over the house. And considering how overpowered Suho's parents are, 698 00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:29,360 it's not surprising the power couple was always destined to produce hella talented children. 699 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,440 And thus there's every possibility that Suho's power can even surpass jin Wu's own. 700 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,559 Eventually, as we're going to see he lets Chaw know that he'll be home 701 00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:39,159 early today as she's trying to deal with Sue Hoo. We find out that 702 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:44,320 Suho inherited the power of the Monarch, and that that's why the other children 703 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,360 fear him despite him being a very happy kid. Because of this, jin 704 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:51,840 Wu decides to seal these powers away and erase his son's memories of the Shadow 705 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,920 Soldiers until he learns to get along with other people in the regular world. 706 00:41:55,039 --> 00:41:59,480 Eventually, when he's older, jin Wu creates portals for his son so he 707 00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:02,159 can level up like he used to do until he's right to inherit the full 708 00:42:02,159 --> 00:42:07,039 power of the Shadow Monarch. Even Igris must admit when fighting him that the 709 00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:09,480 Little Monarch has an incredible amount of potential, as he says, as the 710 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,239 son of our king who has become one with the previous godlike monarch and an 711 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,400 s rank hunter who was forgotten when history was rewritten, he holds an enormous 712 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,960 amount of mona and potential compared to jin Wu, whose mother was arguably a 713 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,159 fragile lady and definitely not an s rank. I think Igris is definitely implying 714 00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:29,559 that jin Wu's son will surpass him eventually. It's only a matter of times. 715 00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:31,639 The little Monarch gets so strong that he stops leveling up as well, 716 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,400 but he still improves by getting better at how he uses his power. Jin 717 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,039 Wu tests his son over and over again, but doesn't give him his powers 718 00:42:39,079 --> 00:42:43,320 back even when he makes it to the final boss, who is jin Wu 719 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,760 himself, because Boss jin Wu is still too much for it. As jin 720 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:50,559 Wu says, if he comes across an opponent like the Dragon Monarch, he 721 00:42:50,639 --> 00:42:53,840 has to get better, so he is overprotective but hopeful since his son does 722 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,159 seem to do better each time he enters one of jin Wu's game portals. 723 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,679 And I spoke in detail of their son because I think he has an important 724 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,559 aspect of jin Wu and Chaw's relationship. The epilogue ends with jin Wu again 725 00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:08,880 taking Chaw out on his Shadow Dragon and giving her a necklace for their sixteenth 726 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:13,840 wedding anniversary. He tells her to go home soon and says he'll be right 727 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,559 behind her. Even though she's older now, she still has that same blush 728 00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:20,159 and smile to this day as she says she'll be waiting for him. The 729 00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:23,400 final image we get is also genuine Chaw embracing after the notes to the reader's 730 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,760 section. So in retrospect, after Chaw was introduced, this relationship definitely got 731 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,840 a lot of focus, as illustrated by how long this video is probably gonna 732 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,519 end up being way longer than I thought. Sure, she wasn't introduced immediately, 733 00:43:36,639 --> 00:43:38,360 something the anime remedied, but like with life, you can meet your 734 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,760 love interest along the way, so we can't really hold that against the story. 735 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,440 When she was introduced and realized how good jin Wu smelled, she easily 736 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,960 got the most emphasis of any romantic love interest, and jin Wu, although 737 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,480 pretty oblivious at first, would go on to think more and more about her, 738 00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:55,559 and by the end, she's the one who gave his life purpose again 739 00:43:55,599 --> 00:44:00,480 when he found himself feeling empty after saving the world. So if you'd like 740 00:44:00,519 --> 00:44:02,679 this relationship as much as I did in the comments.
