To this seasons credit, it's giving more of what people want with the show which is a lot of cool and flashy action sequences with great music and having men and women alike fawn over how awesome Jinwoo is.
Also, here's LiSA!
RIP Kim, long live Iron.
Though it does seem like there's a potential story to be told with Jinwoo slowly losing his humanity as he kills more humans...not sure they'll actually do anything with it.

Jinwoo's sensitive was okay in season 1 despite killing humans. You could say the finale had an arc when the protagonist saw his weaker self too. Still, he still is chilled in season 2 especially when he presented him at Jinnah's where he now looks like quite a young father. I guess for now he acts like a young Kazuma Kiryu considering how season 2 is treating him as a mentor for the weak hunters. I know many hate Jinwoo's character as he was compared to isekai but I didn't notice anything excessive about his current status. Maybe there Will be a twist about his Powers in the future

Nice touch with the 'glitch' when he talked to Baruka about the voice in his head.

the real question is will his actions have FATAL consquences?
he's already got one S rank hunter after his head, BUT the minute the leader of the tiger guild finds out jinwoo killed his comrade and more or less made him a zombie, he will have TWO S RANK HUNTERS gunning for him!

From the anime on season 2, compared to web manga, it looks like more manga good scenes are cut short on season 2 anime. In hope, it not going the same path as season 2 One-Punch anime

that would be a mess if they do a one punch man season 2 and start cutting stuff out just to meet their 12 ep quota!
though it could have been worse. ala
A) we could end up with another promise neverland season 2 or B) the system powers and the loss of his humanity turn jinwoo into another unlikable anti hero type asshole ala naofumi from shield hero season 3!
those type of scenarios are the sure fire way to turn an anime series from god tier category straight into the trash tier!

This was definitely a weaker episode- I get the sense that this is a logistically needed episode rather than one meant to be narratively fulfilling. The big purpose seemed to be moving pieces around to set up future events. Thats not terrible...as long as there is pay off. So we shall see, I guess.

Jinwoo doesn't always come off as the most empathetic or caring for anyone that isn't his sister, but it's nice to see him throw Jinho a bone and adopt him as his brother.
Cha continues to be there to wear tight outfits, get close-ups of her rear, and be the series' main source of female eye candy. At least it's staying consistent with season 1!
No better way to beat deadbeat dad allegations than taking care of someone who was after your son before your son had a chance to take care of him. Also, Rikiya Koyama!
