In this episode, Roos dives into Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Chapter 55, focusing on Sung Suho, the son of Sung Jinwoo, as he navigates a world still reeling from the Great Cataclysm. Suho possesses a key that unlocks memories from the previous world, a concept that intrigues and worries those around him. The episode explores the tension between unlocking these memories and the potential dangers it poses, especially since some individuals, like Suho, were not born in the previous world and thus cannot access these memories. This distinction raises questions about identity and belonging in a world reshaped by cataclysmic events.
The narrative also touches on the aftermath of a major prison break incident, highlighting Suho’s emergence as a hero. Despite being an E rank hunter, Suho’s reawakening during the crisis allowed him to protect civilians and gain recognition. However, Roos expresses skepticism about the media portrayal of Suho’s heroism, suggesting that the public narrative might be oversimplified or misleading. This skepticism adds a layer of complexity to Suho’s character and the challenges he faces in gaining acceptance. Suho’s goals are clearly outlined: to grow strong enough to fight alongside his father, unite hunters against the Outer God, and defeat the Iterim Apostle.
The episode emphasizes that achieving these objectives requires more than just power; it demands strategic thinking, image management, and the ability to inspire and lead others. Roos agrees with this perspective, acknowledging that Suho cannot succeed alone and must rely on the support of others. The episode also highlights Suho’s efforts to gain the cooperation of major hunter guilds, including the White Tiger Guild, the Hunter’s Guild, and the Grim Reaper Guild. His sincerity and determination resonate with these groups, earning their support despite his not being Sung Jinwoo himself. This alliance building is portrayed as a crucial step in preparing for the larger battles ahead.
A poignant moment arises in a conversation about Lee Min sung, a hunter who was possessed by the Iterim Apostle. Suho’s interaction with Hunter Lim reveals the complexity of Min sung’s character and the lingering mysteries surrounding his final moments. This discussion adds emotional depth to the story and underscores the personal costs of the ongoing conflict. Overall, Roos presents Chapter 55 as a pivotal moment in Suho’s journey, blending action, political maneuvering, and emotional reflection. The episode captures the challenges of stepping out of a legendary father’s shadow while forging a new path in a dangerous and uncertain world.
Roos’s commentary balances excitement for the story’s developments with thoughtful critique, inviting listeners to engage deeply with the unfolding narrative.

Basics. What's going on guys, it's your boy Roos. Welcome back again to another episode on our podcast. I am going to be reading Solo Leveling Ragnarok Chapter 55. It's been a minute, but I'm so gassed to be here. Okay, we didn't make a podcast yesterday. We made one the day before, so check out those ones. We're just going on and continuing on with the mangas that we need to catch up on. So if you're new here, follow the podcast, turn on notifications. And yeah man, let's get into this. Lastly, if the mic does sound a bit iffy, I'm investing in a new mic. My mic right now is a bit busted, but just deal with me for now, okay? Alright, cool. Then, shall we take a look at the others' memories?
Remember this guy is the bad guy. And recently, Song Jinwoo's kid, Suho, I believe, was with, let's say, his uncle, fighting other infected, possessed guys. They're memories of the previous world. He's got the key to unlocking their memories. My memories of the previous world? I know the world's gotten pretty strange after the Great Cataclysm, but such a thing is impossible. Father, wouldn't this be dangerous? Huh? I trust Suho. Damn. Bam. Straight in. No hesitation. This guy's gonna be in trouble. Because if each of them, boom, boom, boom, boom, remember how the world was, they're gonna look at this guy and say, who are you, bro? Maybe. That's my theory. Stop acting before thinking. He's unsure.
He's like, what the hell? Obviously, she's worried about her dad. Now he's shaking. This is so strange. Bro's crying. To think I'd feel this warmth from memories that I had forgotten. Huh? Uh... He hasn't said anything yet. This is bad. I never thought the world was one that was reset. Please, do it for me too. Oh, look. As soon as she's seen her dad get it, stress some tears, try to, you know, seem all, oh, daddy, no, daddy, no, she's now straight away one of the next person to jump in. But I don't think the key would work for her though. That key would not react to me since I'm not of this world. If that happens, there's a high chance I'd be suspicious. Exactly, that's what I was saying. What should I do?
Do I need to start a war with the believers that have gathered so far? No. Even if I'd gathered thousands of followers, with my current strength, it would likely only cause the same ripple effect as the last prison break incident and then end there. So the choice I must make now is... Nothing's coming to mind. Yeah, because you wasn't born then. Hmm? That's strange. Shouldn't memories of the previous world be surfacing by now? Please wait. It's entirely possible that, just like this woman, there are those who cannot recall their memories. Very. Hmm. What is this weak looking insect? Who are you calling weak? I'll tear you apart. Finish the explanation, Biru.
The previous world was 20 years ago, within this same timeline, back when mana still existed. Hmm. Thinking of the peaceful world without mana 20 years ago, it wouldn't be strange for there to be differences between then and now. In other words, it seems this woman who had not been born in the previous world. Exactly. I wasn't born? Uh. Oh, he jumped straight into the key because he heard what Biru was saying. Because he wasn't from this world, and I don't think he appeared in the last one, he shouldn't gain no memories of this one. And so that should at least cover his identity for this realm. I also cannot recall any memories. Hmm. So Hunter Park Dojin didn't exist in the previous world either.
Then, father, does that mean I truly didn't exist in the previous world? Well, don't you think it's a wonderful thing? Hmm? Chairman Woo Jin Chul. This is the peace that Hunter Sung Jin Woo has chosen. Countless lives that could not even have been born in the previous world are now living happily in this one. Father's choice. Hmm. Everyone, if we allow the outer god to invade, this world will be destroyed. Will you lend me your strength? The prison break incident at Jisung Correctional Facility that shook the entire nation has finally quieted down. The number of escapees whose identities remain unknown is now less than 196.
The reason the situation was suppressed so quickly was thanks to the swift response of the Hunter Association. This is the news report. Moreover, citizens who were present at the time testified that if that black human shaped being had not appeared, the number of casualties would have been far greater. Additionally, we have obtained information that the black figure was actually a hunter's skill. Hmm. It was confirmed to be the skill of an E rank hunter, Sung Su Ho. Arriving at the scene faster than anyone else to help civilians, Sung Su Ho testified that he underwent reawakening at that moment of crisis.
In that instance of self sacrifice for others, he gained the power to protect people through his reawakening. What a load of bullshit. I know that's what this guy is thinking. He is blocky as heck. He is so blocky. By using his newfound strength for good, Hunter Sung Su Ho saved countless lives and became a hero. If this guy is the guy that was lost in the other world, S rank, that Jinwoo killed. Remember in the Spider Tomb, he killed the guy's brother. I think this might be him. Oof. Sung Su Ho. Today we have delivered the story of a hero born in chaotic times. Everyone. Reawakening. What is this nonsense? We discussed it beforehand and passed it to the media.
Reawakenings are rare, but not unheard of, so the public will accept it. But I no longer wish to hide. Surely you don't intend to publicly declare yourself as a growing hunter, right? A being that defies the natural laws will only bring chaos. People will judge you in their own ways. The appearance of an irregular will only breed resentment. Sung Su Ho, you said you have three goals. First, your growth. You wish to grow strong enough to fight by your father's side. Second, to gather hunters capable of fighting the Outer God. We must unite our forces in this world to oppose them. And third, to defeat the Iterim Apostle in this world.
Once I've achieved these objectives, I will go to aid my father who continues to fight alone. If you truly intend to rally the power of this world to fight against Iterim, then passion alone won't be enough. You must also carefully think about your image, how to influence people's hearts in the direction you wish, and your own decisions. He's absolutely right. I can't even argue with that. I don't really realize that achieving my goals required more than just leveling up. I can't do this alone. I must borrow everyone's strength. For you to give me such advice, does this mean that you intend to help me? Of course.
You are the grandson of Captain Sung Il han and the son of Hunter Sung Jin woo, the hope of humanity. But above all, your actions moved my heart, Suho. The White Tiger Guild will support you. Even Hunter Sung Jin woo struggled against Iterim. I don't know how much help I'll be, but I refuse to just stand by and watch Earth be destroyed. The Hunter's Guild will cooperate as well. Hunters Baek Yoon ho and Choi Jong in have been persuaded. Now the only one left is... Hmm. He's gonna join, don't worry about it. He's just stubborn. Was it truly you who killed Lee Min sung? Hunter Lim? Yes, I killed him. Suho! What exactly was happening to Lee Min sung at that time?
He was addicted to Stardust and was possessed by the Iterim Apostle. Why did you approach him? I confirmed that Min sung was cooperating with Iterim and sought information from him. Why was he cooperating with Iterim? That, I don't know. I already know you bear no fault, Suho. So why am I even asking these questions? Could it be, Hunter Lim, that you wished to know Min sung's final moments? At the very end, Lee Min sung was smiling. Smiling? Yes, I still don't know why he had that expression. Whether it was exhilaration or the emptiness of letting go of everything. All I felt from that smile was bitterness. But what I clearly understood was that man never lost himself, even until the very end.
I hate to admit it, but he left a deep impression on me. Ha! Lee Min sung, ever the same, selfish egotist. The Grim Reaper Guild will also cooperate. Thus, Suho has won the cooperation of all three great guilds. It was Suho's sincerity that moved everyone's hearts. Suho was not Sung Jin woo, yet there was something in him that reminded people of those fierce days of the hunters. On the battle where Hunter Sung Jin woo stands, I look forward to the new wind Suho will bring. Ahem. Then, allow me to explain the plan moving forward. The very first thing we must do is... Hm? Hunter Sung
