The God of High School, by Yongje Park, is a famous Korean manhwa webtoon, currently in its sixth season Re: Battle with Gods.
The God of High School anime’s first episode came out this Monday as a Crunchyroll Exclusive, and needless to say, it simply blew us away.
Here’s my review of the GOH episode 1 and anime as a whole – The God of High School Review.
GOH episode 1 contains chapters 4 through 7 of the manhwa webtoon.
We see the beginning of the twenty-seventh God of High School tournament along with various character introductions. GOH episode 2 will be coming out next Monday. Now let’s talk about what happened in the manga.
PS…this article contains the events and spoilers right up to the crucial moment, so don’t worry the moment of ‘oomph’ will not be lost.

1. Battle Royal Concludes
The God of High School episode 1 ended with Mori and Gang dashing towards each other in mid-air, ready for a kick. Now, if you have seen the first episode clearly there is a part that the anime cuts off.
When Mori saved Mira by pulling Gang’s pants down, he was holding Mira’s treasured sword in his mouth, and funnily enough, Mira gets angry saying “Don’t you bite my sword!!!”
So, when Mori and Gang will be in the mid-air, Mira will swoop in and kick Mori so hard out of anger that he will make a misstep and get hit by both Mira and Gang’s attacks breaking his neck. LOL.
Did Mori get disqualified from the tournament? No. (At least, not yet.) Wait for the episode to see what happens.
2. The Biker Gang Attacks Again!
Remember the biker-thief who lost to the trio of Mori, Mira and Daewi at the beginning of episode 1? His brother and gang attack the trio next and get beaten up by them in mere seconds.
However, the commotion will cause Mira’s sword to fall in the nearby river, and she goes to find it. When she will be on the brink of losing hope, Mori will swoop in with a battery in the motorcycle headlight to help Mira – but they both fail to find the sword.
Don’t worry, Mira won’t lose her sword, Daewi Han has a plan.
3. G.O.H Tournament Continues
The God of High School tournament will continue with 1 vs 1 matchups divided into two groups with 64 participants each. Daewi and Mira are in Group B while Gang, Gamdo Go and Mori Jin are in Group A.
All five continue to win in their respective brackets with minimal efforts required. To everyone’s surprise, Mori Jin continues to win with only his left hand while Go has not taken his hands out yet. Is the most sacred and brutal tournament in the world a child’s play to these two?
I. Top 32: Gang vs Go
The first match in the Top 32 is Gamdo Go vs Manseok Gang. The former is a user of T’ai Chi Ch’uan while the latter uses Northern-style ITF Taekwondo.
The preview stills for The God of High School episode 2 came out recently.
Few minutes into the match, Go shows the true power of his will and T’ai Chi. In response to that, Manseok rips off his straitjacket and begins to attack with full power. As warned by Mori, Manseok begins to toy with Gamdo and is about to defeat him, for good…until someone interrupts the match.
See the third image where all the executives are pointing towards Mori Jin? Yep, he interrupted the match and KO-ed Manseok in one kick. He will be facing disqualification soon.
