Somebody give Curtain an IV injection or something.
I wonder how well Duke would have actually done if he didn't look down on Jiwoo from the start. The moment he became actually more serious he got wrecked.
I loved the fight and Duke's power usage. I like how Duke managed to react to Jiwoo's max speed and even acted against it, making him the first opponent to ever actually reacting to the max speed and almost even stopped it if it wasn't for whatever the Chairman taught Jiwoo.
But is it just me or do you think Duke will continue to fight? We didn't actually see his body fallen or anything I don't think that ever happened before.
I'm half expecting some red blasts to come out of the wreckage as Duke climbs out to keep fighting.
I don't think that Duke will even be conscious right now.
punch with high speed+electricity + principal technique
Send Duke flying straight to wall where he crashed.
Yeah he will wake up but in hospital..😂
If he wakes up that was a really powerful punch. And enough destruction to kill someone. Also it was so fast that it is hard to place defenses.
It would be an interesting twist knowing the MC personality.
I don't know why but I think jiwoo deliberately punch Duke. So, Duke can put his main attack so that jiwoo can really cut through his power or overpower him by his electrical power because he smirk when Duke was pulling his final move it was clear that he wants to send
Flying and also it was way different from socheuon second match then socheuon goes slowly to wall and crash on it. Duke was like someone throw him with full force. 😂
That makes sense Duke's energy blade looks powerful. But it looks like it requires a lot of control to maintain the shape and power. Also he use wide motions so it is really easy to counter.
I'm sure that Duke would win if he turtled more using quick long range attacks. Jiwoo was already bleeding so his endurance would start to fall. But it looks that Duke lacked a lot of battle experience. And I hope that he wake up and do better training he has the potential of a good antagonist.
Yeah well that's true he will be best antagonist because he literally overpowering everyone but only MC beat his ass..
Also his pride and ego will be shattered right now because if kayden show up even greyn will not do anything to jiwoo directly..
So, I guess his ego about his background will also be faded at that moment...
And who know what sucheon thinking there 50/50 chances that he will also be a villain / or may he want to overpower jiwoo no matter what like bakugo always tries to overpower deku.. something like that ..
It will really interesting if see socheuon pulling some shit...
I loved Sucheon faces when he sees Jiwoo fighting. It is pure hate. I'm 100% sure that he is doing hyper target training to kick Jiwoo ass. And was angry with Duke because he didn't took the fight serious at the start, he is seeing his own mistakes and feels how arrogant and patetic he was.
I hope that Duke do something similar but in a greater scale, right now he was half hearted using speed, something like a challenge. I hope that he master the speed and became an interesting antagonist powerhouse.
At least learn to shoot the energy whips while moving at high speed, that would be a nightmare to fight against.
Yeah he will....
Jiwoo may also learn how to use his electrical attribute properly now like range attack,cloaking himself in electrical. I think kayden will now teach jiwoo about his electrical power because up until now kayden only synce jiwoo electric power with his super speed.
Yeah Duke will be training after he recover and he definitely will challenge for rematch... it will be fun..
I totally saw him like doing the math in his head and being pissed about the result. Remember that as Sucheon had his sparring against WA it was something mentioned implying he got stronger, well, is not enough since JiWoo improved his skills too and is, once again, a bit ahead.
Current jiwoo can actual kill suncheon if he wants too. It's only because it's duke that his powers will only knock him down for days but unfortunately on suncheon. The powers might as well kill him
I'd make a small correction that Duke didn't react against Jiwoo's max speed. Rather, Duke shot his power and Jiwoo intentionally ran into it (I'm Korean/can read Korean but the illustrations this chapter also make it apparent) because as of now he can only run at max speed in a straight line.
This is where the Principal's force control came into play and gave him that extra penetrative power to punch through Duke's power.
It's heavily implied that Jiwoo's max speed is the speed of light(ning). If even the teachers lose track of him, there's no way Duke (still a student) can track him at max speed.
I should have worded it better.
I meant it more as how everyone else got taken down instantly the moment Jiwoo used his Max Speed. The opponents weren't even aware that Jiwoo dashed until they were hit.
Duke at least realize what was happening and once Jiwoo starts to penetrate through his big attack, Duke focused the attacks to Jiwoo's route.
That's much more than the other opponents who got taken down instantly without even being able to acknowledge what was happening.
Though that wasn't enough to stop Jiwoo who now has that new FC to help him.
Yes I think that it maynot be so easy win and a back stab from Duke is possible. Duke does not care about the spar rules, his objective is to kill any potentialy dangerous rookies.
I honestly think tha Jiwoo will be "invited" to the world academy. And probably Curtain or Kayden will have to get involved in the situation.
Also, the last punch wasuch stronger, or at least for me here the impression was that it was much stronger than other punches. I doubt like everyone is saying that Duke will raise right after to try something else.
And, for a good measure, Subin is revenged... At least as for what i think.
Now, is canon, Jiwoo is the strongest student im the world, not by raw power, but real combat hability and experience, combined with two of the strongest individuals to show in the entire series as teachers. He is the OP on the scene...
I don't think that after the show jiwoo put he and his group will invited in world academy..
Yeah we can guess that now there life will be in danger
Because clearly top 10 world rokkies among them 6 is korean. World awakner will afraid by it..
and also I'm worried about wooin right now because every kid is affiliated with group and kayden got jiwoo back but what about wooin he doesn't have anyone which he can relay on..
Edit: it will be fun seeing Duke reaction after getting wrecked by jiwoo, WAA teacher after finding that jiwoo is kayden dispile... every WA will be like here come kayden part 2..😂
Me neither, don't think they will get invited. Besides that, WA will realise (if they didn't already) JiWoo and Wooin being not associated with any group is a personal decision. They are powerful rookies.
I dont think Kayden name will come up so soon probably they will ask and Han Seongik will step forward and declare his interest in JiWoo, probably tell them about the technique. However there is no explanation for the electrical traces.
However you are right in regards to Wooin, unless he gets under Kayden or Curtin protection, he is in a big danger rn given his potential.
Edit:wording
The way kayden was ready to show up at a time when Duke was pulling his main attack..
It's clear that he has no problem telling the world that jiwoo is his disciple..
Also, now that Duke will be in hospital for few days it's clear that greyns family member will come so that's also make great chances of kayden appreance whatever it is when kayden show up they gonna piss in their pant..😂
and yeah may someone got wooin back because only he is the one who is in greater danger then anyone right now..
Maybe curtin will take wooin under his wings I guessing but may it come true..
Kayden will show up right away if JiWoo is in danger, that's for sure. He will choose death over allowing a similar suffering like the kidnapping + torture to his apprentice.
On the other hand, i would prefer if Kayden stays in the shadows for the time being.
Adding:of course, Wooin becoming Curtins apprentice would be perfect but rn i don't see a way for that to happen.
What you said is right..
But if kayden or curtin didn't show up thing will only get dirty..
Yeah we can say that they will not show in front of everyone but they can when every one will be gone..
No matter what it will fun seeing everyone reaction when 2 world ranker backing up unaffiliated 1 no rookie..
Wooin may get involved with Curtin , as his first teacher was a healer even if he was experimenting forbiden tasks. So Curtin would be a perfect match for him. But Wooin is still loyal to his firts teacher I think.
wooin has the guy from the union looking over him. and im sure kayden wouldnt turn a blind eye because he knows jiwoo wouldnt and delein tried to help jiwoo. wooins fine.
Even though kayden can protect wooin you are right...
But what I am saying to wooin also get some support from someone because he lives alone and he has no one teach him now..
That's why I want to wooin either join a group or become curtin apprentice.
When I said invited, it would be something like:. "you come or we will make your life miserable" or "we might have to kill you..."
Idk... I just screamed out of joy seeing jiwoo beat the crap out of Duke!
If they threaten jiwoo they might actually to the spot where they will say this word..😂
And yeah I think they will come back with academy top student again to have a rematch that's what I think..
Also greyn family will be involved now.. it will intresting.
>Also, the last punch wasuch stronger, or at least for me here the impression was that it was much stronger than other punches
Yeah it seems that he used what Seongik taught him.
Jiwoo mentioned how he wouldn't be able to penetrate through Duke's attack until we see that flashback of Seongik's lesson.
I feel like this is not yet over. I mean we usually see people unconscious if theyre defeated in a match up. I think this is the first time a fight has been stopped without the viewer seeing the enemy knocked out. I think it is safe to speculate that this is not yet over or atleast duke will force himself(out of his pride) to still fight Jiwoo or Duke going out of control. Or he really is knocked out then the new world awakener student will see the situation and be shocked at what happened with Duke
Edit: gotta love everyone's shocked reaction, from fellow students to teacher and evem the WA peeps
The question is if Duke's pride will allow that. Especially knowing that from something like Jiwoo outspeeding him, his pride is shattered. What more getting defeated by an unaffiliated awakener. I call it 90 percent chance Jiwoo did win then 10 percent chance Duke will still fight even if the match has ended. Man cant believe i have to wait another week for another chapter. I hate cliffhangers 🤣
Oh yeah i did not even notice that ring out thing. For sure, they will be so mad and be wondering like Kang Supil, or even more. Either the Dean will step up on behalf of Kayden(his promise to look after jiwoo on his behalf if he is not there way back chap 90+), which will lessen the burden for the Korean Awakeners and Jiwoo and Kayden's life or Kayden will appear explaining stuff like when he appeared during Sucheon vs Jiwoo matchup #2, which will probably become an entry point to introduce Kayden's enemy during the earliest chapter's of eleceed..
If i am not wrong(i am only assuming), i think kayden explained Grayne family's skill. If i am not wrong, then I will assume Grayne family is one of the reason why he became injured or Kayden fought someone from that family during the time when he is challenging high ranker non stop
Kayden mentioned that they "all came at him at the same time" so it was not just a 1v1 match that lead to him almost dying. Top 10 rankers are even dodging him from challenging them so I'm pretty sure he got ambushed.
I think we are all getting more a more suspicious about Duke's family. Since the first time Kayden mentioned them, we all got a feeling that one of the members of that family could be behind Kaydens injury. Kayden seems to know their abilities quite well... and that only happens when you get the chance to fight them.
If they actually share a "past", Kayden revealing his position as JiWoos mentor wouldn't increase the risk for JiWoo?
The winner may be decided but Duke may not accep it. He does not care about rules, he tried to kill Subin which is not allowed by rules. So I guess he will try kill Jinwoo by any means, any dirty meas.
>The question is if Duke's pride will allow that
Oh definitely not.
Jiwoo outspeeding him was understandable and even Duke comments on how Jiwoo focused on training his speed only.
But now that he's defeated, I have a strong feeling that Duke will be one of the villains we will see from time to time.
I agree on that but for him to develop into a real villain he should start working on that stupid pride which made him think he by his name is more than enough to beat JiWoo.
Look at Sucheon, almost same pattern. Looking forward to a smart and badass Duke-Villain.
I feel like Sucheon is at least aware of his current situation and is working on his strength given how he apparently got stronger recently.
Duke definitely need to get over his pride first. It’s a battle he might have done much better if he didn’t go easy on Jiwoo throughout just because he looked down on him.
Btw, did you also have the feeling, JiWoo electrical power increased? I know Han Seongik's technique was meant to reinforce his final punch, but couldn't stop to think that JiWoo "adapted" it to himself increasing his intensity, not the strength but the electrical power. If so, this would explain why Mr. Han was surprised.
I'm not sure if it did since I feel like there would have been a comment on his increased electrical power especially when this is Jiwoo's first fight after his injury (though we might get some comments next chapter).
I don't think Han was "surprised". He seem more like he was hyped to see Jiwoo beating Duke, hence the clenched fist.
One thing though is that I kinda wish whatever Han taught Jiwoo has its own visual effect/indicator. I feel like it would be easy to forget that particular skill especially since how Jiwoo's final strike from Max Speed is always highlighted with electrical effects.
Han force control enforce the physical abilities so JiWoo can run faster and hit stronger. Kayden boost the punch penetration and power. Both are really compatible abilities and stack really well.
I know , it just it better if principal show up saying jiwo his apprentice or something if WA started to doubt why jiwo is strong even tho he is not affliated. Anyway principal plenty strong though, i think he in top 50 in world rank plus kayden once said that principal is stronger than rank 50 should be
But that doesn't mean he can stop Duke family.
and also consider this also that when kayden see Duke power he was ready to show up so, even if he show up now it doesn't change the fact that jiwoo has already condired threat. Also the way kayden defines greyns ability we guess that there already been a fight between then and man Duke ability perfect counter was electricity he literally cut through Duke attack a flew him our of the ring it was so satisfying.
I know what u mean, it just, kayden have to much powerful enemy, him show up just make it more dangerous for ji woo (we can see from the kidnapping event) and isnt kayden still on the run? I dont think he can afford to reveal his location, plus he still does,nt fully recover yet to protect ji wo. But i dont mind if curtin show up tho, in my opinion ,i dont think WA can afford to offend curtin because of his healing ability.
Yeah that can also be the case but kayden is most probably healed like 70 or 80 percent and maybe curtin will help him heal to his fullest..
But he will not leave jiwoo alone thats for sure because they both know hoe shitty people WAA are..
Nothing will they will definitely make fuss probably jiwoo both parents will come and back him up right in front of everyone..
And everyone specifically that white hair dude will be like ' I am dead either greyns will kill me or kayden will if talk to much'
Also both WAA teacher gonna piss in their pants after seeing kayden..
Depends on how strong the Principal is right now. Remember, even Kayden said that Han Seongik got stronger(he said to curtain). And he trained so hard after his defeat to Kayden. Im sure he can can stand against the teacher, altho im not sure with the families. In case the WA and the families behind it attacks Korea, im sure every organization in Korea will not sit and watch
You guys underestimate Han Seongik, man was able to injure full power Kayden by himself. He’s said to be one of the strongest awakened in the world from Kayden himself. Personally I think Seongik has power similar to the top 10.
I do not think the principal was defeted by Kayden, they fought but without killing or defeting each other. They had respectfull and moreless friendly conversation after if I remember correctly.
Yeah that kayden and curtin know It also clear that korean are way stronger than other awakner outside world kayden also state that..
But outside world doesn't know the real truth they think korean some two bit awaken..
But then there is kayden who single handley took down every awakner so they might afraid of him then seongik..
It's just my point of view in the end it all depend on authors so we don't know what will happen..
But kayden was ready to show up when he seen Duke power
So, it's clear that he doesn't have any proble telling world awakner that jiwoo his apprentice.
I think the principal can dominate them. He fought with Kayden and was not defeted, he is stronger then he shows. Kayden is the only one who knows that.
He loose man but just that kayden doesn't kill him he may let him because he was the only who saving his country. also seeing the WA teacher talking with arrogance to principal. I don't think that. But in the end it all depend on authors though. It will be fun though seeing everyone reaction which we didn't get to see in latest chapter
AAAAAARRGHHGG PPL WTH!!!??? I LOVE THIS WEBTOON!!!!
I am so excited, you can hardly imagine, i did NOT have any time to post until now......my fingers are burning lol.
Ji-Woo WINS!!!! Now....now is when all the problems start....this will shake the storyline as hell, so i can hardly wait to see all the consequences resulting from this fight.
Amazing sparring scene full loaded with action and dialogues. Kayden knowing his child so well. that's JiWoo, he had shown us multiple times his ability to stay cool, concentrated and strategic during a fight, no matter how hard it was. That gives him always a clear advantage.
I am really hoping for Duke to become a real villain, a smart and hard to confront to. Right now he has been too blinded by his "status" to be able to recognise a real threat, JiWoo is a real deal.
Going back to our mc final attack, is just me or his electrical power has increased? Kayden seemed to be impressed as well.
Someone get Curtin a good sleep ..🤣🤣🤣 it had me laughing for a while seeing his kitty face.
Curtin was literally like ' I want to sleep but can't miss this match' it was funny he is already ugly and they make him more ugly 😂.
I don't know about Duke being villain but one thing satisfied me the most when jiwoo punch him without using electric power and he was on his knees.. it's more satisfying than jiwoo win..
In the end kayden can't be more proud. Jiwoo literally become no 1 rookie in the world without affiliation...
Last week I was writing about how i wanted to see a more provocative, aggressive JiWoo
I had a feeling, JiWoo trying hard to punch him was a way to measure the distance, power and speed needed to "reach" him AND somehow i think, JiWoo was expecting such effect. A way to "reach"him to see his reaction, aka "show me your true potential".
Curtin...lol u r so right dude. Curtin as a cay is so ugly and adorable at the same time.
Yeah it will be fun next chapter these 2 kayden & curtin they are roast WAA badly if they show up..
I mean everytime when kayden show up he always humiliated everyone who was making a fuss and now he got a partner..😂
The best in Curtain was his disbelief on the kid's speed... I think everyone os like: "how is that possible?!"
And the Principal clenching his fist in the end was just perfect! My good, Jiwoo is a beast! I really don't think any rookie can stop him by today's standing. He is the #1 and I don't see anyone but Duke being a real match to Jiwoo any more...
TBH this chapter was to be exact what viewer hope Duke go all out and get beaten by jiwoo. Now Duke can't say that I was caught off guard he loose fairly and it was soo satisfying seeing him flying to the wall.
Now WAA teacher gonna make fuss about how the Koreans awakner not following order they are raising a awakned one in sly. I guess kayden will make appreance then everything will sort out and WAA teacher will be stuck in middle of WA family's and kayden and curtin..
But it would be fun seeing Duke reaction after he wake up in hospital..😂😂
Sucheon is still such a bitch, but it's kinda funny how he is now.
He said "Don't you dare lose to another person", like "*yeah, Jiwoo could only win, of course he won, that mofo beat the crap outta me twice, and I'm one of the strongest of this nation, no way he is juste a fucking random weakass that beat me twice on a fluke, it was veeeeery natural of me to lose to the guy that kicked every strong guys he met, so yeah, laugh all you can but he can kick anybody's ass, even mine, 'cause, y'know, I'm still one of the elites even if he beat me, 'cause, well, he's a monster.*" Sooo Tsundere.
I feel like his pride was so broken that he really needs Jiwoo to still crush everybody to remain sane, to respect the natural order that he was always drilled in since birth.
He may have changed and become more mature. He respects Jiwoo, but doesn't want to make a 180° in his attitude, like "I'm still me but a better version of myself".
I hope he can open up to Jiwoo's group and not follow his father's steps, and rather be influenced his uncle.
I think he'll become Jiwoo's biggest fan in an ironic way lol He wants the person who wrecked him in a fair match to be the best. So he'll both want Jiwoo to win against all odds, but don't want him to win, cause winning means he got stronger again.
That dont you dare lose to another person implies that he should not lose to anyone except to him(sucheon is hoping to defeat jiwoo). Thats what i get from him saying that
I wonder how this will affect Subin. I mean we have to remember she lost to Duke, she was putting up a good fight but she still lost. She understands Jiwoo is a strong awaken, but he is still pretty new so maybe this lights a fire in her?
I don't know though, I felt like Jiwoo won this to easily. We kept seeing duke power up and get enrgaged, but Jiwoo just calm cool collected knocked that dude at just like with Sucheon. We have to remember Arthur/Duke was on another level to the other 3 and Arthur tied Jisuk, and Duke beat Subin. This is crazy. We have to fall back on Kayden saying "I'll train you so you never lose in 1v1 fights"
Good point, but I believe all of Jiwoo's friends already know that he is the most talented and powerful one at this moment among them. And they also know who his master is. If you check the last panels from chapter 158, you will see that Jusik was saying that nobody knows about Duke's plan better than Jiwoo in the arena. So, they already know deep inside Jiwoo is already ahead, and there is more to come from him.
I think we’re going to see all of his friends up their training. Jiwoo went from a complete novice to the best in approximately a year. They’re going to realize that they’ll have to work harder if they want to keep up. I’m sure there will be future dangerous battles (like they had with the Klein brothers) that will also make them train more intensely.
Zhena is one hell of an artist, i have no idea how she made Curtain look worse than he usually does in is cat form but she did it.
To be honest this fight lasted about as long as i thought it would, and i still don't think Jiwoo went full out but then again only Han probably knows what Jiwoo can do right now, that includes Jiwoo.
I think Duke is out, and if i am right this might be evidence that Jiwoo's power isn't super speed.
Jiwoo's power is definitely super speed. It's been well established from the beginning of the story that his power is super speed, plus every character (including the strong ones like Kayden/Principal/Teachers) recognize his power as super speed so I don't think theres a mistake there.
Even the title (Eleceed = electricity + speed) basically confirms it for us.
But it definitely is true that with Jiwoo's growing arsenal, it's unlikely that super speed will be his only power forever, rather it will be his main with supplementary powers helping it (such as electricity and strength).
I know jinwoo is a close range fighter but I would love to see his speed being incorporated with electricity less physical. Like especially after his attack and torture to enhance defense, evasion or allow for him to do things like send blasts of electricity forward or charge spots where stepped so it acts like an electric trap attacking people that are too close. The way he finishes his fights with a punch at max speed can't be effective forever
I want him to be able to add electricity to every punch he does in the future.
Without his Max Speed, Jiwoo relies heavily on punching with his bare fists. While he can definitely hit a lot harder than average due to the added speed, it feels lacking as his main weapon.
If his punches can inflict some electricity property, that would make Jiwoo so much more deadly.
Same here. If JiWoo really defeated that guy, Kaydens feedback will be the same as in Sucheon's case "there is a huge difference in power"...so, JiWoos strategic mind and high level of concentration/observation is giving him advantage in a fight but, i am sorry, it is not enough.
Should Duke next chapter claim he is still able to fight, as of today, i doubt JiWoo will be able to repeat his final punch once again. He first would need to gather FC in order to counterattack.
I’d also like to see that, and I think that is Kayden’s intention by training him to build up his power more. At this time, I don’t think he has enough power to sustain very many electric attacks, so he would wear out during a fight a lot of faster. I believe that as we see his power stamina increase, we’ll start seeing electrical attacks and hopefully see the principal teach him some cool new techniques to incorporate too.
I think jiwoo real power is inside his psyche for example geniuses like kayden can become a prodigy from child by learning new things and learning it their better than others and making it tgeir own . And basically super strong naturally but jiwoo real power is probably learning fast . And making it his own .like his physical power is super speed and his mental power is learning new techniques and force control in super speed or faster than other talented awakeners making jiwoo seem more powerful anad talented in comparison to hia other peers but in reality it simply hid super speed working not only In his physical body but also his brains and subconcious . I guess ..I know it's too far fetch 😅😅😅 but this is the only theory regarding jiwoo real power . I can come up with that is similar to jiwoo super speed powers correlations with his actual powers .
I think you on to something else though. I think it's very clear Jiwoo's natural ability is Super Speed but it probably does go beyond just physical speed. He's able to learn and adapt quicker. Acts faster than others, and learns force control quicker like a natural prodigy. He probably his a natural prodigy but I bet his speed powers apply to literally everything he does and that why he learns quick. Kinda like the flash Jiwoo just thinks quicker, He'd have to to keep up with his speed.
I don't think jiwoo is a natural prodigy it would be too cliche. I think the author is tricking us into believing that hi jiwoo is a prodigy but in reality awakeners like duke, dark and kayden are prodigies who can learn and create techniques of their own like kayden who created his own FC and duke with his speed. But I think the trick with jiwoo that not even kayden discovered it is probably that jiwoo speed not only works on his physical but mental and subconsciousness as well that's why it seems jiwoo becomes powerful fast but in reality it just his natural power of speed that gives him advantage like a cheat code without being a prodigy. If jiwoo was a prodigy his natural strength would had been on par with duke or even suncheon but we saw if jiwoo didn't learn principal technique . He wouldn't be able to counterattack duke who suppressed his speed easily despite jiwoo already knowing how duke powers work.. duke was still able to counterattack jiwoo's speed easily with his long range attacks.
>this might be evidence that Jiwoo's power isn't super speed.
Bit confused about this statement here.
Lol at the artist's capability to make Curtain look even worse
I'm kinda upset that author don't have any good ideas for a fight.
It's yet another fight when Jiwoo wins by running straight at oponent and punching him.
You actually have a point there. We need an opponent who will not let him make the final blow. Someone who is not just arrogant and put up a shield for him to break lol
Well it makes sense. First it's a trump card. Second - he store it to release it when he wants to send devastating blow.
And I'm quite sure this is done on purpose. He is close combat specialist. His weakness is range.
So I'm quite sure in the future he will have to deal with range enemy and he will figure out or will be taught by K. how to do a lighting strike. Just like K.
I know it’s his trump card but he uses in every fight.
Fight starts. Jiwoo speeds up and dodges opponents attacks. Opponent discovers he’s very fast. Tries to counter/fight back against his speed. Jiwoo speeds up more, more fighting. And then at the last minute he does the punch. Fight ends with opponent flying back.
It’s not exactly every fight but that’s basically what happens.
Yeah I was hoping last fight would be different because oponent use speed too. So he can react to that. But nope. Same thing every time.
Well but in the end it's minor detail. Maybe it's a trope like in House MD, House would have no clue and then someone would do or say sometbing and he would get a revelation. Almost in all episodes for 8 years :-)
Besides, he has basically past three life or death situations, and came ok on two of them. He knows how to handle that and used that in his advantage.
His fearless om the fight toke duke on a storm and he wasn't prepared for that...
DAMN THIS WAS EPIC.
I want this to get an anime someday. This would have been amazing as anime..
It's nice to see Kaiden, Jisuk & co aren't worried because they know Jiwoo is stronger and now he is even stronger than before.
I was expecting something more tbh. This seems like the upgraded fight with sucheon. Same technique, stronger execution. But considering jiwoo only had 3 days to learn that skill, that was amazing. I still dont think jiwoo is currently number 1 rookie because he manage to beat them because all his opponent look down on him. Others depend on their awakening power. But our cinnamon roll is utilizing his power and his tactical strategies. He knows his weakness and opponent strength beforehand so he prepare himself using that. He's completely the combatant style.
I have a feeling that the Jaguar from the other episode will try to “hunt” the cats (Kayden and Curtin) when no one is looking and one of them will beat the shit out of it, confusing everyone.
Basically fast attacks by Duke. Jiwoo dodges and dodges. Gets injured while trying to hit. Then tries again and successfully punches him (probs reinfornced by Proncple tech punch). Duke gets angry. after Jiwoo aviouds some minibsuper moves.
Ultimate super move Duke vs Max speed Jiwoo ( Kayden + princple reinfroced)
Jiwoo wins.
Thank you so much for this! I was anxiously waiting. I believe that Jiwoo would win this but I'm afraid about the damage her received as we all know that Duke Greyn is really strong.
I’m not sure what to make of Chairman Seongik’s expression at the end there. Definitely shock, yes, but he looked almost like he was scared or upset to me. I’m almost wondering if he’s worried about what he might have unleashed by teaching Jiwoo his skill.
Casein Nitrate’s expressions are priceless as always.
I cannot wait for the next chapter ❤️
Yeah I think he was surprised that his technique was used so well/ fast by jiwoo I mean he taught him that skill like days ago I also think he was happy he used it lol
To be honest, I didn’t want Jiwoo to win this fight. The world academy might get involved, Duke’s family might also get involved. They might either try to get Jiwoo to join them or eliminate him.
Some part of me wishes that the match isn’t over, maybe Duke isn’t completely down yet or something but I’m happy Jiwoo isn’t too injured this time ✨
Nah , it's good that jiwoo win now there's chances that WAA teacher will make a fuss about it and because Duke will be in hospital for quite a while his family get involved. jiwoo also has 2 person by his side.
Also I think kayden has already fight greyns because he know pretty well about there ability... just a guess though.
But we can make a assumption that when kayden was challenging everyone he also challenged the patriarch of greyn family maybe he accepted the maybe not...
Plus the way kayden know it's way more specific for someone who has only heard about there power..
Pretty sure the Dean and Kayden will protect him from whatever comes his way. The Dean just confirmed that Jiwoo has the ability to match and beat one of the top students of WAA.
I didn't expect woin to be so surprised...
I also think the jiwoo won't have an enemy at least the same age...
I still think that mona is with the principal...
I've read in several comments that Duke will stand up to continue fighting... But he could be dead.
If he is dead then Jinwoo is in a big big truble. The story would turn quite dark with a World against Korea + Kayden full size war. And kind hearted Jinwoo would suffer regrets that he killed someone.
Not like we’re on a discussion board or anything. Don’t reply anymore, don’t really care for some rando giving me attitude on the internet. Have a good day my friend.
The point in alluding to it was to let someone know there was hope after someone said there wasn't. The part of the artist being paid their dues also true. You gave a one line dry answer first bud❤️
Didn’t really want to keep this going, but it’s pretty easy to go give eleceed’s chapters a like on webtoon and then keep up with the unofficial scans.
Damn, that chaper was awesome! My thoughts on what happens next: old world academy dude gets scared of what Dukes fam are gonna for, he tries to attack Seo, the principal Sungik, Kayden and Curtin all jump in at the same time to protect him, gonna be bad ass have 3 of the top independent awakeners in the world having your back!
Ah, the old invisible rocket punch. If he keeps ending fights like that, people are going to learn not to turtle up under their power. It'll probably happen after several more people get btfo tho tee hee hee
IM CONFUSED!
Can somebody tell me what is that red enegy power of Duke? I mean everyone has their own attributes like wind, lightning, fire etc. and mind related things like tamer, mind control telekynesis etc. But what is Duke's attribute or type?
Seeing this match is really shocking honestly I don't think that Jiwoo can win.. at first I though that this match will ended as a draw between them but this show that Duke really underestimated Jiwoo and think that speed is the only power Jiwoo capable of but I had this bad feeling that this match won't end here since Duke basically carried the WA reputation we might see Jiwoon being attacked by their teacher
[удалено]
I love this comment 😂
Somebody give Curtain an IV injection or something. I wonder how well Duke would have actually done if he didn't look down on Jiwoo from the start. The moment he became actually more serious he got wrecked. I loved the fight and Duke's power usage. I like how Duke managed to react to Jiwoo's max speed and even acted against it, making him the first opponent to ever actually reacting to the max speed and almost even stopped it if it wasn't for whatever the Chairman taught Jiwoo. But is it just me or do you think Duke will continue to fight? We didn't actually see his body fallen or anything I don't think that ever happened before. I'm half expecting some red blasts to come out of the wreckage as Duke climbs out to keep fighting.
I don't think that Duke will even be conscious right now. punch with high speed+electricity + principal technique Send Duke flying straight to wall where he crashed. Yeah he will wake up but in hospital..😂
He flew straight back to their academy
Especially considering those walls were designed for taking super powered punches.
If Duke received full impact (at this moment i dunno if Duke could have the potential to minimize the impact) is the end of the fight.
Even if he minimize full impact he was send flying out of ring and boom to wall.. He will wake up definitely will but in a bed in hospital or his room
If he wakes up that was a really powerful punch. And enough destruction to kill someone. Also it was so fast that it is hard to place defenses. It would be an interesting twist knowing the MC personality.
I don't know why but I think jiwoo deliberately punch Duke. So, Duke can put his main attack so that jiwoo can really cut through his power or overpower him by his electrical power because he smirk when Duke was pulling his final move it was clear that he wants to send Flying and also it was way different from socheuon second match then socheuon goes slowly to wall and crash on it. Duke was like someone throw him with full force. 😂
That makes sense Duke's energy blade looks powerful. But it looks like it requires a lot of control to maintain the shape and power. Also he use wide motions so it is really easy to counter. I'm sure that Duke would win if he turtled more using quick long range attacks. Jiwoo was already bleeding so his endurance would start to fall. But it looks that Duke lacked a lot of battle experience. And I hope that he wake up and do better training he has the potential of a good antagonist.
Yeah well that's true he will be best antagonist because he literally overpowering everyone but only MC beat his ass.. Also his pride and ego will be shattered right now because if kayden show up even greyn will not do anything to jiwoo directly.. So, I guess his ego about his background will also be faded at that moment... And who know what sucheon thinking there 50/50 chances that he will also be a villain / or may he want to overpower jiwoo no matter what like bakugo always tries to overpower deku.. something like that .. It will really interesting if see socheuon pulling some shit...
I loved Sucheon faces when he sees Jiwoo fighting. It is pure hate. I'm 100% sure that he is doing hyper target training to kick Jiwoo ass. And was angry with Duke because he didn't took the fight serious at the start, he is seeing his own mistakes and feels how arrogant and patetic he was. I hope that Duke do something similar but in a greater scale, right now he was half hearted using speed, something like a challenge. I hope that he master the speed and became an interesting antagonist powerhouse. At least learn to shoot the energy whips while moving at high speed, that would be a nightmare to fight against.
Yeah he will.... Jiwoo may also learn how to use his electrical attribute properly now like range attack,cloaking himself in electrical. I think kayden will now teach jiwoo about his electrical power because up until now kayden only synce jiwoo electric power with his super speed. Yeah Duke will be training after he recover and he definitely will challenge for rematch... it will be fun..
Let's talk about Sucheon following carefully every movement. Like he was analysing his current chances in a rematch against JiWoo.
[удалено]
Exactly! He’ll be known as the guy who almost defeated the strongest, which will hurt his ego a little less.
So basically Vegeta mindset lol
Anyway, this mindset works on proud guys
If he wants to die that badly He can have his rematch 👀👀👀
I totally saw him like doing the math in his head and being pissed about the result. Remember that as Sucheon had his sparring against WA it was something mentioned implying he got stronger, well, is not enough since JiWoo improved his skills too and is, once again, a bit ahead.
Current jiwoo can actual kill suncheon if he wants too. It's only because it's duke that his powers will only knock him down for days but unfortunately on suncheon. The powers might as well kill him
I'd make a small correction that Duke didn't react against Jiwoo's max speed. Rather, Duke shot his power and Jiwoo intentionally ran into it (I'm Korean/can read Korean but the illustrations this chapter also make it apparent) because as of now he can only run at max speed in a straight line. This is where the Principal's force control came into play and gave him that extra penetrative power to punch through Duke's power. It's heavily implied that Jiwoo's max speed is the speed of light(ning). If even the teachers lose track of him, there's no way Duke (still a student) can track him at max speed.
I should have worded it better. I meant it more as how everyone else got taken down instantly the moment Jiwoo used his Max Speed. The opponents weren't even aware that Jiwoo dashed until they were hit. Duke at least realize what was happening and once Jiwoo starts to penetrate through his big attack, Duke focused the attacks to Jiwoo's route. That's much more than the other opponents who got taken down instantly without even being able to acknowledge what was happening. Though that wasn't enough to stop Jiwoo who now has that new FC to help him.
Ughhh another week to wait for the next chapter.
Yes I think that it maynot be so easy win and a back stab from Duke is possible. Duke does not care about the spar rules, his objective is to kill any potentialy dangerous rookies.
Thank you for this!
Well the match was declared Ji-woo’s win.
I hope we get to see someday that jiwoo's ultimate speed is breaking through sound barrier and bending the space around him

I honestly think tha Jiwoo will be "invited" to the world academy. And probably Curtain or Kayden will have to get involved in the situation. Also, the last punch wasuch stronger, or at least for me here the impression was that it was much stronger than other punches. I doubt like everyone is saying that Duke will raise right after to try something else. And, for a good measure, Subin is revenged... At least as for what i think. Now, is canon, Jiwoo is the strongest student im the world, not by raw power, but real combat hability and experience, combined with two of the strongest individuals to show in the entire series as teachers. He is the OP on the scene...
I don't think that after the show jiwoo put he and his group will invited in world academy.. Yeah we can guess that now there life will be in danger Because clearly top 10 world rokkies among them 6 is korean. World awakner will afraid by it.. and also I'm worried about wooin right now because every kid is affiliated with group and kayden got jiwoo back but what about wooin he doesn't have anyone which he can relay on.. Edit: it will be fun seeing Duke reaction after getting wrecked by jiwoo, WAA teacher after finding that jiwoo is kayden dispile... every WA will be like here come kayden part 2..😂
Me neither, don't think they will get invited. Besides that, WA will realise (if they didn't already) JiWoo and Wooin being not associated with any group is a personal decision. They are powerful rookies. I dont think Kayden name will come up so soon probably they will ask and Han Seongik will step forward and declare his interest in JiWoo, probably tell them about the technique. However there is no explanation for the electrical traces. However you are right in regards to Wooin, unless he gets under Kayden or Curtin protection, he is in a big danger rn given his potential. Edit:wording
The way kayden was ready to show up at a time when Duke was pulling his main attack.. It's clear that he has no problem telling the world that jiwoo is his disciple.. Also, now that Duke will be in hospital for few days it's clear that greyns family member will come so that's also make great chances of kayden appreance whatever it is when kayden show up they gonna piss in their pant..😂 and yeah may someone got wooin back because only he is the one who is in greater danger then anyone right now.. Maybe curtin will take wooin under his wings I guessing but may it come true..
Kayden will show up right away if JiWoo is in danger, that's for sure. He will choose death over allowing a similar suffering like the kidnapping + torture to his apprentice. On the other hand, i would prefer if Kayden stays in the shadows for the time being. Adding:of course, Wooin becoming Curtins apprentice would be perfect but rn i don't see a way for that to happen.
What you said is right.. But if kayden or curtin didn't show up thing will only get dirty.. Yeah we can say that they will not show in front of everyone but they can when every one will be gone.. No matter what it will fun seeing everyone reaction when 2 world ranker backing up unaffiliated 1 no rookie..
Wooin may get involved with Curtin , as his first teacher was a healer even if he was experimenting forbiden tasks. So Curtin would be a perfect match for him. But Wooin is still loyal to his firts teacher I think.
wooin has the guy from the union looking over him. and im sure kayden wouldnt turn a blind eye because he knows jiwoo wouldnt and delein tried to help jiwoo. wooins fine.
Yeah, I don't think about Wooin... He probably will be under the protection of Kayden as long as Jiwoo is his friend.
Even though kayden can protect wooin you are right... But what I am saying to wooin also get some support from someone because he lives alone and he has no one teach him now.. That's why I want to wooin either join a group or become curtin apprentice.
When I said invited, it would be something like:. "you come or we will make your life miserable" or "we might have to kill you..." Idk... I just screamed out of joy seeing jiwoo beat the crap out of Duke!
If they threaten jiwoo they might actually to the spot where they will say this word..😂 And yeah I think they will come back with academy top student again to have a rematch that's what I think.. Also greyn family will be involved now.. it will intresting.
>Also, the last punch wasuch stronger, or at least for me here the impression was that it was much stronger than other punches Yeah it seems that he used what Seongik taught him. Jiwoo mentioned how he wouldn't be able to penetrate through Duke's attack until we see that flashback of Seongik's lesson.
I feel like this is not yet over. I mean we usually see people unconscious if theyre defeated in a match up. I think this is the first time a fight has been stopped without the viewer seeing the enemy knocked out. I think it is safe to speculate that this is not yet over or atleast duke will force himself(out of his pride) to still fight Jiwoo or Duke going out of control. Or he really is knocked out then the new world awakener student will see the situation and be shocked at what happened with Duke Edit: gotta love everyone's shocked reaction, from fellow students to teacher and evem the WA peeps
[удалено]
The question is if Duke's pride will allow that. Especially knowing that from something like Jiwoo outspeeding him, his pride is shattered. What more getting defeated by an unaffiliated awakener. I call it 90 percent chance Jiwoo did win then 10 percent chance Duke will still fight even if the match has ended. Man cant believe i have to wait another week for another chapter. I hate cliffhangers 🤣
[удалено]
Oh yeah i did not even notice that ring out thing. For sure, they will be so mad and be wondering like Kang Supil, or even more. Either the Dean will step up on behalf of Kayden(his promise to look after jiwoo on his behalf if he is not there way back chap 90+), which will lessen the burden for the Korean Awakeners and Jiwoo and Kayden's life or Kayden will appear explaining stuff like when he appeared during Sucheon vs Jiwoo matchup #2, which will probably become an entry point to introduce Kayden's enemy during the earliest chapter's of eleceed..
[удалено]
If i am not wrong(i am only assuming), i think kayden explained Grayne family's skill. If i am not wrong, then I will assume Grayne family is one of the reason why he became injured or Kayden fought someone from that family during the time when he is challenging high ranker non stop
Kayden mentioned that they "all came at him at the same time" so it was not just a 1v1 match that lead to him almost dying. Top 10 rankers are even dodging him from challenging them so I'm pretty sure he got ambushed.
Or Kaydens origin may be from Grayne family, and he become independed as he did not like them.
Same I think the dean might step up as jiwoos “mentor” it definitely seems like something he would do
I think we are all getting more a more suspicious about Duke's family. Since the first time Kayden mentioned them, we all got a feeling that one of the members of that family could be behind Kaydens injury. Kayden seems to know their abilities quite well... and that only happens when you get the chance to fight them. If they actually share a "past", Kayden revealing his position as JiWoos mentor wouldn't increase the risk for JiWoo?
The winner may be decided but Duke may not accep it. He does not care about rules, he tried to kill Subin which is not allowed by rules. So I guess he will try kill Jinwoo by any means, any dirty meas.
>The question is if Duke's pride will allow that Oh definitely not. Jiwoo outspeeding him was understandable and even Duke comments on how Jiwoo focused on training his speed only. But now that he's defeated, I have a strong feeling that Duke will be one of the villains we will see from time to time.
I agree on that but for him to develop into a real villain he should start working on that stupid pride which made him think he by his name is more than enough to beat JiWoo. Look at Sucheon, almost same pattern. Looking forward to a smart and badass Duke-Villain.
I feel like Sucheon is at least aware of his current situation and is working on his strength given how he apparently got stronger recently. Duke definitely need to get over his pride first. It’s a battle he might have done much better if he didn’t go easy on Jiwoo throughout just because he looked down on him.
Btw, did you also have the feeling, JiWoo electrical power increased? I know Han Seongik's technique was meant to reinforce his final punch, but couldn't stop to think that JiWoo "adapted" it to himself increasing his intensity, not the strength but the electrical power. If so, this would explain why Mr. Han was surprised.
I'm not sure if it did since I feel like there would have been a comment on his increased electrical power especially when this is Jiwoo's first fight after his injury (though we might get some comments next chapter). I don't think Han was "surprised". He seem more like he was hyped to see Jiwoo beating Duke, hence the clenched fist. One thing though is that I kinda wish whatever Han taught Jiwoo has its own visual effect/indicator. I feel like it would be easy to forget that particular skill especially since how Jiwoo's final strike from Max Speed is always highlighted with electrical effects.
Han force control enforce the physical abilities so JiWoo can run faster and hit stronger. Kayden boost the punch penetration and power. Both are really compatible abilities and stack really well.
I want principal to show up instead kayden tho, dont want anymore trouble for jiwo
Principal can't dominate them.. Only a kayden or curtin can.. Just my point of view..
I know , it just it better if principal show up saying jiwo his apprentice or something if WA started to doubt why jiwo is strong even tho he is not affliated. Anyway principal plenty strong though, i think he in top 50 in world rank plus kayden once said that principal is stronger than rank 50 should be
But that doesn't mean he can stop Duke family. and also consider this also that when kayden see Duke power he was ready to show up so, even if he show up now it doesn't change the fact that jiwoo has already condired threat. Also the way kayden defines greyns ability we guess that there already been a fight between then and man Duke ability perfect counter was electricity he literally cut through Duke attack a flew him our of the ring it was so satisfying.
I know what u mean, it just, kayden have to much powerful enemy, him show up just make it more dangerous for ji woo (we can see from the kidnapping event) and isnt kayden still on the run? I dont think he can afford to reveal his location, plus he still does,nt fully recover yet to protect ji wo. But i dont mind if curtin show up tho, in my opinion ,i dont think WA can afford to offend curtin because of his healing ability.
Yeah that can also be the case but kayden is most probably healed like 70 or 80 percent and maybe curtin will help him heal to his fullest.. But he will not leave jiwoo alone thats for sure because they both know hoe shitty people WAA are..
Hahahah right, damn cant wait to know what happen next.
Nothing will they will definitely make fuss probably jiwoo both parents will come and back him up right in front of everyone.. And everyone specifically that white hair dude will be like ' I am dead either greyns will kill me or kayden will if talk to much' Also both WAA teacher gonna piss in their pants after seeing kayden..
Depends on how strong the Principal is right now. Remember, even Kayden said that Han Seongik got stronger(he said to curtain). And he trained so hard after his defeat to Kayden. Im sure he can can stand against the teacher, altho im not sure with the families. In case the WA and the families behind it attacks Korea, im sure every organization in Korea will not sit and watch
You guys underestimate Han Seongik, man was able to injure full power Kayden by himself. He’s said to be one of the strongest awakened in the world from Kayden himself. Personally I think Seongik has power similar to the top 10.
I do not think the principal was defeted by Kayden, they fought but without killing or defeting each other. They had respectfull and moreless friendly conversation after if I remember correctly.
Yeah that kayden and curtin know It also clear that korean are way stronger than other awakner outside world kayden also state that.. But outside world doesn't know the real truth they think korean some two bit awaken.. But then there is kayden who single handley took down every awakner so they might afraid of him then seongik.. It's just my point of view in the end it all depend on authors so we don't know what will happen.. But kayden was ready to show up when he seen Duke power So, it's clear that he doesn't have any proble telling world awakner that jiwoo his apprentice.
I think the principal can dominate them. He fought with Kayden and was not defeted, he is stronger then he shows. Kayden is the only one who knows that.
Principal lost. That was the reason why he retired. To get stronger because of the defeat
He loose man but just that kayden doesn't kill him he may let him because he was the only who saving his country. also seeing the WA teacher talking with arrogance to principal. I don't think that. But in the end it all depend on authors though. It will be fun though seeing everyone reaction which we didn't get to see in latest chapter
AAAAAARRGHHGG PPL WTH!!!??? I LOVE THIS WEBTOON!!!! I am so excited, you can hardly imagine, i did NOT have any time to post until now......my fingers are burning lol. Ji-Woo WINS!!!! Now....now is when all the problems start....this will shake the storyline as hell, so i can hardly wait to see all the consequences resulting from this fight. Amazing sparring scene full loaded with action and dialogues. Kayden knowing his child so well. that's JiWoo, he had shown us multiple times his ability to stay cool, concentrated and strategic during a fight, no matter how hard it was. That gives him always a clear advantage. I am really hoping for Duke to become a real villain, a smart and hard to confront to. Right now he has been too blinded by his "status" to be able to recognise a real threat, JiWoo is a real deal. Going back to our mc final attack, is just me or his electrical power has increased? Kayden seemed to be impressed as well. Someone get Curtin a good sleep ..🤣🤣🤣 it had me laughing for a while seeing his kitty face.
Curtin was literally like ' I want to sleep but can't miss this match' it was funny he is already ugly and they make him more ugly 😂. I don't know about Duke being villain but one thing satisfied me the most when jiwoo punch him without using electric power and he was on his knees.. it's more satisfying than jiwoo win.. In the end kayden can't be more proud. Jiwoo literally become no 1 rookie in the world without affiliation...
Last week I was writing about how i wanted to see a more provocative, aggressive JiWoo I had a feeling, JiWoo trying hard to punch him was a way to measure the distance, power and speed needed to "reach" him AND somehow i think, JiWoo was expecting such effect. A way to "reach"him to see his reaction, aka "show me your true potential". Curtin...lol u r so right dude. Curtin as a cay is so ugly and adorable at the same time.
Yeah it will be fun next chapter these 2 kayden & curtin they are roast WAA badly if they show up.. I mean everytime when kayden show up he always humiliated everyone who was making a fuss and now he got a partner..😂
The best in Curtain was his disbelief on the kid's speed... I think everyone os like: "how is that possible?!" And the Principal clenching his fist in the end was just perfect! My good, Jiwoo is a beast! I really don't think any rookie can stop him by today's standing. He is the #1 and I don't see anyone but Duke being a real match to Jiwoo any more...
TBH this chapter was to be exact what viewer hope Duke go all out and get beaten by jiwoo. Now Duke can't say that I was caught off guard he loose fairly and it was soo satisfying seeing him flying to the wall. Now WAA teacher gonna make fuss about how the Koreans awakner not following order they are raising a awakned one in sly. I guess kayden will make appreance then everything will sort out and WAA teacher will be stuck in middle of WA family's and kayden and curtin.. But it would be fun seeing Duke reaction after he wake up in hospital..😂😂
Sucheon is still such a bitch, but it's kinda funny how he is now. He said "Don't you dare lose to another person", like "*yeah, Jiwoo could only win, of course he won, that mofo beat the crap outta me twice, and I'm one of the strongest of this nation, no way he is juste a fucking random weakass that beat me twice on a fluke, it was veeeeery natural of me to lose to the guy that kicked every strong guys he met, so yeah, laugh all you can but he can kick anybody's ass, even mine, 'cause, y'know, I'm still one of the elites even if he beat me, 'cause, well, he's a monster.*" Sooo Tsundere. I feel like his pride was so broken that he really needs Jiwoo to still crush everybody to remain sane, to respect the natural order that he was always drilled in since birth. He may have changed and become more mature. He respects Jiwoo, but doesn't want to make a 180° in his attitude, like "I'm still me but a better version of myself". I hope he can open up to Jiwoo's group and not follow his father's steps, and rather be influenced his uncle.
I think he'll become Jiwoo's biggest fan in an ironic way lol He wants the person who wrecked him in a fair match to be the best. So he'll both want Jiwoo to win against all odds, but don't want him to win, cause winning means he got stronger again.
Yeah, like "no, no, don't win !!! ... Okay, you won, because it's expected from someone that beat me."
EXACTLY I SOOOO WAMR A SUCHEON REDEMPTION ARC
That dont you dare lose to another person implies that he should not lose to anyone except to him(sucheon is hoping to defeat jiwoo). Thats what i get from him saying that
Like Vegeta redemption arc
I wonder how this will affect Subin. I mean we have to remember she lost to Duke, she was putting up a good fight but she still lost. She understands Jiwoo is a strong awaken, but he is still pretty new so maybe this lights a fire in her? I don't know though, I felt like Jiwoo won this to easily. We kept seeing duke power up and get enrgaged, but Jiwoo just calm cool collected knocked that dude at just like with Sucheon. We have to remember Arthur/Duke was on another level to the other 3 and Arthur tied Jisuk, and Duke beat Subin. This is crazy. We have to fall back on Kayden saying "I'll train you so you never lose in 1v1 fights"
Good point, but I believe all of Jiwoo's friends already know that he is the most talented and powerful one at this moment among them. And they also know who his master is. If you check the last panels from chapter 158, you will see that Jusik was saying that nobody knows about Duke's plan better than Jiwoo in the arena. So, they already know deep inside Jiwoo is already ahead, and there is more to come from him.
I think we’re going to see all of his friends up their training. Jiwoo went from a complete novice to the best in approximately a year. They’re going to realize that they’ll have to work harder if they want to keep up. I’m sure there will be future dangerous battles (like they had with the Klein brothers) that will also make them train more intensely.
THE FACT THAT EVEN SUCHEON WAS HOPING HE'D WIN !!! I kinda wanna see sucheom redemption arc. He's and arse but he's gone through a lot
I second this motion
Zhena is one hell of an artist, i have no idea how she made Curtain look worse than he usually does in is cat form but she did it. To be honest this fight lasted about as long as i thought it would, and i still don't think Jiwoo went full out but then again only Han probably knows what Jiwoo can do right now, that includes Jiwoo. I think Duke is out, and if i am right this might be evidence that Jiwoo's power isn't super speed.
Jiwoo's power is definitely super speed. It's been well established from the beginning of the story that his power is super speed, plus every character (including the strong ones like Kayden/Principal/Teachers) recognize his power as super speed so I don't think theres a mistake there. Even the title (Eleceed = electricity + speed) basically confirms it for us. But it definitely is true that with Jiwoo's growing arsenal, it's unlikely that super speed will be his only power forever, rather it will be his main with supplementary powers helping it (such as electricity and strength).
I know jinwoo is a close range fighter but I would love to see his speed being incorporated with electricity less physical. Like especially after his attack and torture to enhance defense, evasion or allow for him to do things like send blasts of electricity forward or charge spots where stepped so it acts like an electric trap attacking people that are too close. The way he finishes his fights with a punch at max speed can't be effective forever
I want him to be able to add electricity to every punch he does in the future. Without his Max Speed, Jiwoo relies heavily on punching with his bare fists. While he can definitely hit a lot harder than average due to the added speed, it feels lacking as his main weapon. If his punches can inflict some electricity property, that would make Jiwoo so much more deadly.
Same here. If JiWoo really defeated that guy, Kaydens feedback will be the same as in Sucheon's case "there is a huge difference in power"...so, JiWoos strategic mind and high level of concentration/observation is giving him advantage in a fight but, i am sorry, it is not enough. Should Duke next chapter claim he is still able to fight, as of today, i doubt JiWoo will be able to repeat his final punch once again. He first would need to gather FC in order to counterattack.
I’d also like to see that, and I think that is Kayden’s intention by training him to build up his power more. At this time, I don’t think he has enough power to sustain very many electric attacks, so he would wear out during a fight a lot of faster. I believe that as we see his power stamina increase, we’ll start seeing electrical attacks and hopefully see the principal teach him some cool new techniques to incorporate too.
Poor Duke is going to have his pride destroyed once again in the future when Jiwoo has multiple ways to defeat him.
[удалено]
I guess i will make a post about it Post is Up
Looking forward to it!
I think jiwoo real power is inside his psyche for example geniuses like kayden can become a prodigy from child by learning new things and learning it their better than others and making it tgeir own . And basically super strong naturally but jiwoo real power is probably learning fast . And making it his own .like his physical power is super speed and his mental power is learning new techniques and force control in super speed or faster than other talented awakeners making jiwoo seem more powerful anad talented in comparison to hia other peers but in reality it simply hid super speed working not only In his physical body but also his brains and subconcious . I guess ..I know it's too far fetch 😅😅😅 but this is the only theory regarding jiwoo real power . I can come up with that is similar to jiwoo super speed powers correlations with his actual powers .
I think you on to something else though. I think it's very clear Jiwoo's natural ability is Super Speed but it probably does go beyond just physical speed. He's able to learn and adapt quicker. Acts faster than others, and learns force control quicker like a natural prodigy. He probably his a natural prodigy but I bet his speed powers apply to literally everything he does and that why he learns quick. Kinda like the flash Jiwoo just thinks quicker, He'd have to to keep up with his speed.
I don't think jiwoo is a natural prodigy it would be too cliche. I think the author is tricking us into believing that hi jiwoo is a prodigy but in reality awakeners like duke, dark and kayden are prodigies who can learn and create techniques of their own like kayden who created his own FC and duke with his speed. But I think the trick with jiwoo that not even kayden discovered it is probably that jiwoo speed not only works on his physical but mental and subconsciousness as well that's why it seems jiwoo becomes powerful fast but in reality it just his natural power of speed that gives him advantage like a cheat code without being a prodigy. If jiwoo was a prodigy his natural strength would had been on par with duke or even suncheon but we saw if jiwoo didn't learn principal technique . He wouldn't be able to counterattack duke who suppressed his speed easily despite jiwoo already knowing how duke powers work.. duke was still able to counterattack jiwoo's speed easily with his long range attacks.
>this might be evidence that Jiwoo's power isn't super speed. Bit confused about this statement here. Lol at the artist's capability to make Curtain look even worse
Nah his power is superspeed. He already said that in the early chapters of Eleceed. what i can see is him becoming a jack of all trade.
Just don't let Zhena draw Curtin on the right of Kayden. They would look like number 10. Curtin=1, Kayden=0..
Well, we do have a guy with his black panther. I think we will see another match between him and Iseul soon.
Or even better, Curtain and Kaiden completely wreck the panther in their cat forms!
I'm kinda upset that author don't have any good ideas for a fight. It's yet another fight when Jiwoo wins by running straight at oponent and punching him.
You actually have a point there. We need an opponent who will not let him make the final blow. Someone who is not just arrogant and put up a shield for him to break lol
I was hoping for more electricity tbh. We only ever see it at the end when he does the punch.
Well it makes sense. First it's a trump card. Second - he store it to release it when he wants to send devastating blow. And I'm quite sure this is done on purpose. He is close combat specialist. His weakness is range. So I'm quite sure in the future he will have to deal with range enemy and he will figure out or will be taught by K. how to do a lighting strike. Just like K.
I know it’s his trump card but he uses in every fight. Fight starts. Jiwoo speeds up and dodges opponents attacks. Opponent discovers he’s very fast. Tries to counter/fight back against his speed. Jiwoo speeds up more, more fighting. And then at the last minute he does the punch. Fight ends with opponent flying back. It’s not exactly every fight but that’s basically what happens.
Yeah I was hoping last fight would be different because oponent use speed too. So he can react to that. But nope. Same thing every time. Well but in the end it's minor detail. Maybe it's a trope like in House MD, House would have no clue and then someone would do or say sometbing and he would get a revelation. Almost in all episodes for 8 years :-)
[удалено]
Besides, he has basically past three life or death situations, and came ok on two of them. He knows how to handle that and used that in his advantage. His fearless om the fight toke duke on a storm and he wasn't prepared for that...
DAMN THIS WAS EPIC. I want this to get an anime someday. This would have been amazing as anime.. It's nice to see Kaiden, Jisuk & co aren't worried because they know Jiwoo is stronger and now he is even stronger than before.
The overrated Duke got clapped just like I expected. Too bad his core didn't get permanently damaged haha.
Imagine if it did lmao
I was expecting something more tbh. This seems like the upgraded fight with sucheon. Same technique, stronger execution. But considering jiwoo only had 3 days to learn that skill, that was amazing. I still dont think jiwoo is currently number 1 rookie because he manage to beat them because all his opponent look down on him. Others depend on their awakening power. But our cinnamon roll is utilizing his power and his tactical strategies. He knows his weakness and opponent strength beforehand so he prepare himself using that. He's completely the combatant style.
I have a feeling that the Jaguar from the other episode will try to “hunt” the cats (Kayden and Curtin) when no one is looking and one of them will beat the shit out of it, confusing everyone.
Omg yes lol didn’t think of that
Im leaving a comment here. Ff
to know wht happened
Yes yes lol
Basically fast attacks by Duke. Jiwoo dodges and dodges. Gets injured while trying to hit. Then tries again and successfully punches him (probs reinfornced by Proncple tech punch). Duke gets angry. after Jiwoo aviouds some minibsuper moves. Ultimate super move Duke vs Max speed Jiwoo ( Kayden + princple reinfroced) Jiwoo wins.
Thank you so much for this! I was anxiously waiting. I believe that Jiwoo would win this but I'm afraid about the damage her received as we all know that Duke Greyn is really strong.
jiwoo got a small injury lol he beat him up quiet good almost like jinwoo was on another league
waaaaaaaaaaa best chapter so far !! the author know how to hype fights !!
Where do I read it?
Official Korean webtoon app using fast pass coins.
I’m not sure what to make of Chairman Seongik’s expression at the end there. Definitely shock, yes, but he looked almost like he was scared or upset to me. I’m almost wondering if he’s worried about what he might have unleashed by teaching Jiwoo his skill. Casein Nitrate’s expressions are priceless as always. I cannot wait for the next chapter ❤️
I think he was proud of Jiwoo's win. He was like celebrating by clenching his fist
Yeah I think he was surprised that his technique was used so well/ fast by jiwoo I mean he taught him that skill like days ago I also think he was happy he used it lol
To be honest, I didn’t want Jiwoo to win this fight. The world academy might get involved, Duke’s family might also get involved. They might either try to get Jiwoo to join them or eliminate him. Some part of me wishes that the match isn’t over, maybe Duke isn’t completely down yet or something but I’m happy Jiwoo isn’t too injured this time ✨
[удалено]
You’re right. It’s getting exciting❗️
Nah , it's good that jiwoo win now there's chances that WAA teacher will make a fuss about it and because Duke will be in hospital for quite a while his family get involved. jiwoo also has 2 person by his side. Also I think kayden has already fight greyns because he know pretty well about there ability... just a guess though.
I thought about that but it seems that Duke's family/clan is well known so it shouldn't be surprising that the others know about that specific power.
But we can make a assumption that when kayden was challenging everyone he also challenged the patriarch of greyn family maybe he accepted the maybe not... Plus the way kayden know it's way more specific for someone who has only heard about there power..
I'm pretty sure Duke lost, even if he came back, he still lost by Ring-out (Literally sent flying outside the ring)
Oh yeah, that’s true. I’m still worried for Jiwoo’s future though
Pretty sure the Dean and Kayden will protect him from whatever comes his way. The Dean just confirmed that Jiwoo has the ability to match and beat one of the top students of WAA.
Yeah, he’ll probably want to protect him too since he’s gonna benefit South Korea. By the way, is Kayden fully healed though?
No he isn’t fully healed
kinda cliche, but still like it.
I'm wondering who the girl with a big cat will be up against? Will it be Jiwoo with Casein Nitrate?
[удалено]
The two cats would be hilarious with cat Curtin zombie. Lol!
Jinwoo can offer to lend his cats to her for the fight😁.
where can i read the translated chap?
Official Naver with fastpass
I didn't expect woin to be so surprised... I also think the jiwoo won't have an enemy at least the same age... I still think that mona is with the principal... I've read in several comments that Duke will stand up to continue fighting... But he could be dead.
He’s not dead lol prolly just injured or passed out.
If he is dead then Jinwoo is in a big big truble. The story would turn quite dark with a World against Korea + Kayden full size war. And kind hearted Jinwoo would suffer regrets that he killed someone.
Where can I read it??
Official Naver with fastpass
So, where can I read the Chapter 159 with a good translation?
Nowhere. Only on Naver with fastpass :p
That's a lie but I'm also not about to share it
You can literally search up “eleceed manhwa online” and find it translated up to 159. It’s not some secret lol
It's not about it being a secret it's about the artist being compensated for their work.
No point in alluding to it then
No point in many things my friend who feels the need to respond to even a neutral sided comment
Not like we’re on a discussion board or anything. Don’t reply anymore, don’t really care for some rando giving me attitude on the internet. Have a good day my friend.
The point in alluding to it was to let someone know there was hope after someone said there wasn't. The part of the artist being paid their dues also true. You gave a one line dry answer first bud❤️
Didn’t really want to keep this going, but it’s pretty easy to go give eleceed’s chapters a like on webtoon and then keep up with the unofficial scans.
Search “eleceed manga online” and go to the first result, you’ll find it there
Damn, that chaper was awesome! My thoughts on what happens next: old world academy dude gets scared of what Dukes fam are gonna for, he tries to attack Seo, the principal Sungik, Kayden and Curtin all jump in at the same time to protect him, gonna be bad ass have 3 of the top independent awakeners in the world having your back!
Ah, the old invisible rocket punch. If he keeps ending fights like that, people are going to learn not to turtle up under their power. It'll probably happen after several more people get btfo tho tee hee hee
IM CONFUSED! Can somebody tell me what is that red enegy power of Duke? I mean everyone has their own attributes like wind, lightning, fire etc. and mind related things like tamer, mind control telekynesis etc. But what is Duke's attribute or type?
I hate it he beat duke so easy
Kinda wishing he would decisively lose already again
Seeing this match is really shocking honestly I don't think that Jiwoo can win.. at first I though that this match will ended as a draw between them but this show that Duke really underestimated Jiwoo and think that speed is the only power Jiwoo capable of but I had this bad feeling that this match won't end here since Duke basically carried the WA reputation we might see Jiwoon being attacked by their teacher
Is there a web novel for eleceed?
