I want to start things off with the good stuff first before diving into the crap, because God of High School ep 10 had me pretty damn annoyed with how they handled it. So here’s what I liked: the fight with Ilpyo and Mori. They handled this pretty accurately with the webtoon.
For the first time, they’re actually incorporating the mid-battle coaching that’s prevalent throughout the webtoon. So much of these debates on fight technicality are cut in the anime, but I guess they kept it this time since it’s so integral to what Mori does later.
God of Highschool was initially criticized for overly favoring taekwondo because it refused to really delve into other techniques (which the webtoon did). But it all builds up to this moment where incorporating the best of each makes you more powerful.
For most the sakuga is what will impress with this finish, but to me the biggest improvement this makes over the webtoon is the music: they link the two fights with the folk song. That chant is a major part of why these crazy powers exist: communal worship and bonds.
Of course, the show never explains this part. It’s in a cut part of Daewi’s training. Because as you’ve probably guessed by now, they’re speedrunning this by the shitload. Not only did they cut the chapters they skipped thru for that bathroom fight, but went from half of 77 to 85
