Solo Leveling episode 8 recap
Picking up where episode 7 ended, Solo Leveling episode 8 was composed primarily of anime-only scenes. The episode began with Jin-Woo at his mother's bedside, the System's notification open and on the Elixir of Life's formula. With an item capable of curing all diseases, it set a goal for the Hunter to level up and gather the required ingredients from the Demon Castle.
Next, which is not an anime original but important nonetheless, Jin-Woo accepts Yoo Jinho's offer to complete 19 raids. However, the former had a counter - given his abilities, just the two of them would clear the Dungeons and hire other Hunters solely to satisfy the quota. This way, fewer Hunters would be at risk, and clearing so many Dungeons with a 100% survival rate would potentially impress Jinho's father.
A scene showcasing Cha Hae-In training was also added. Upon completing her lap around a track, she was approached by a Yoojin Construction scout. Since the new Guild would be in need of a Guild Master, they considered her a strong contender. Another brief scene follows, where Jinho and his father are conversing about the importance of their company and other guilds as businesses.

What made things interesting was the dialogue between S-ranks Baek Yoonho and Choi Jong-in. It began with the pair bickering about an interview and then the latter informing Baek of Yoojin Construction's Guild.
However, the real reason was Jeju Island. Choi Jong-In was unhappy with the situation on the island and endeavored to clear it soon, which is why he appealed to Baek and would soon turn to other S-ranks for their cooperation.
In between these developments were scenes focusing on Kim Sangshik and Lee Joohee. The former needed to participate in raids to ensure his daughters' education was taken care of. Meanwhile, Joohee wanted her freedom and felt she had gotten over the Cartenon Temple to take on another raid. There was also an intriguing little snippet where a man seemed to be begging someone to have a certain person killed.
The episode ended with Song Chi-Yul and Jin-Woo reuniting with old team members at a low-ranking gate. Greeting them were Lee Joohee, Kim Sangshik, and another Hunter. They were met by Surveillance Team member Kang Taeshik and three convicts, who were prisoner substitute Hunters meant to accompany the rest of the Hunters for the raid.

What to expect from Solo Leveling episode 9? (Speculative)
Solo Leveling episode 9 is a week away and will feature another one of Jin-Woo's raids that will turn awry. Episode 8 covered only chapter 28 of the Manhwa. Fans believe there must be a good reason why A-1 Pictures is choosing to implement such a tricky Manhwa to anime adaptation.
Nonetheless, episode 9 will focus on what happens during the raid. The group will surely encounter lower-ranking beasts in the Dungeon and make their way to the boss's lair. However, that will be when things start to go downhill. It is still uncertain how much of this segment the studio will animate.
Considering whatever has happened so far, Solo Leveling episode 9 should cover chapter 29 and some part of 30, which is where the tables turn.
Solo Leveling episode 9 is set to release at 12 am JST on Sunday, March 10, 2024. Read more from us here:
