I think he totally understands that because of his experience pre-transformation, outside of the fact that he was willing to go into the Double Dungeon, but that was more because he's really desperate to help his family.

I mean the dude just goes after a flock of monsters that outlevel him by a ton with not a care in the world.
And then finishes off a giant snake after allowing the monster to beat him up for a while. Like if he had just finished it off from the get go he wouldn't have gotten hurt. Same with that Igris the Underwhelming fellow. He should have just killed him in the first minute, but for some reason he chose not to. |

And I don't think he "allowed" it to beat him up so much as he just tanked the hits before he was in a position to finish it. He would not have been able to kill Igris that quickly unless you think he would have been fast enough to hit him in the eye from the first second.

Because it was literally the only move he could make because nothing else worked and it was probably the only chance he had to sell it because Igris had beaten him so thoroughly. So Igris genuinely believed he didn't have anything left.

It is more like random and luck. The show emphasizes an underdog may have chance with good lucks. He is at disadvantage, and the joy of winning is rewarding to viewers, perhaps.

He started as an underdog and became the opposite after an insane grinding. Kinda like leveling up in an RPG like Persona 3 which made the final boss a piece of cake the first time I played that game and grinned in preparation.

He didn't need to grind to completely clear out that dungeon. He didn't need to grind to finish all those dungeons together with Jinho. He didn't even need to grind to gain his job change. He was constantly skipping ahead doing things he was underleveled for, and leveled up as a result. That's like the smoothest sailing as it gets. It's literally how I play my JRPGs. Because I hate grinding. There hasn't been a single enemy he wasn't able to effortlessly defeat. |

Well, he was "chosen" in the sense that he was the last person standing in the room after fulfilling all the requirements.
Though I feel like he's gotten the crud beaten out of him enough that not every fight he's been in has been an effortless victory on his part even if he rallied himself to get the win.

I remember finding the dungeons of Persona 3 boring so I instead focused on grinding there. If there is a game that motivated me to fight as somebody weaker is .hack//GU since it can get ridiculously annoying to make Haseo leave the game, receive a mail, and then work in a level for dozens of times. Final Fantasy X didn't have level ups but instead how whatever the player wants to do with the cast. Other than that I don't remember other recent RPGs I have played. I think Kingdom Hearts II required grinding as there were a special class of bosses known as Superbosses kinda made famous by SNK games.
