Set inside the Insect Sanctuary, this ninth Ragnarok arc puts Suho through a stretch built around growing his shadow powers rather than any sprawling battle. He walks away with a fresh skill and a new soldier raised from a fallen enemy, padding out his army.
Ninth in the running order for Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, this stretch slots between the Times Square Field events and the Recruitment storyline that comes after. Coverage spans roughly chapters 71 to 77 of the novel, while a webtoon adaptation had yet to be announced when the page was written. The named players who turn up here are several: Querehsha, Arsha, and Baek Miho appear, joined by Lim Tae-Gyu, Lee Minsung, and Suho himself.
Everything unfolds at one site, the Insect Sanctuary, the lone setting attached to this part of the tale. Suho's time inside leans toward broadening his reach as a shadow wielder rather than toward any sprawling battle, so the weight of the arc rests on what he walks away with by the end.
Two gains define Suho's exit. First, he learns Shadow Preservation, a skill that lets him keep beaten enemies on as soldiers. Second, from the corpse of Lee Minsung he raises a shadow named Kwei, slotting yet another recruit into the army steadily massing under his control.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....
