English Dub Review: Solo Leveling Arise from the Shadow “Looking Up Was Tiring Me Out”


Overview

Seeking the remaining ingredient for the Elixir of Life, Jinwoo continues his conquest of the Demon’s Castle.


Our Take

This time around, Jinwoo continues his journey with a clear goal in mind, pushing forward through intense battles and unexpected encounters. Along the way, he crosses paths with new faces, some of whom prove to be more than just fleeting acquaintances. The world he navigates grows more complex, hinting at deeper layers beyond the surface of his current mission.

The action remains a standout highlight, as delivers in spades. The stakes are higher than ever, and each fight displayed both skill and strategy. Despite the fast pace, certain moments allow for brief but meaningful interactions, adding depth to the unfolding story.

Overall, this episode lived up to the hype with stunning visuals and exhilarating fight sequences. Some changes in pacing and scene arrangement raised minor concerns, but the adaptation remains strong. Now that Jinwoo has seemingly obtained everything necessary to create the Elixir of Life, the question remains—will he finally be able to heal his mother, or is there another challenge waiting in the shadows?
