Eleceed Chapter 397 Recap: The Afterimage
Last week’s chapter was a triumph of strategic combat. We saw Jiwoo face off against a gravity-manipulator who thought they had the speedster cornered.
But there’s a catch.
Using a refined version of Kayden’s “Electric Shroud,” Jiwoo didn’t just move fast; he moved so efficiently that he left a static afterimage that tricked the opponent’s sensory perception. The chapter ended with the “World Ranker” observers finally standing up in surprise—proving that Jiwoo is no longer just a “promising student,” but a genuine threat.
Eleceed Chapter 398 Spoilers: The Great Cat’s Shadow
Based on the current narrative trajectory and early whispers from the community, here is what’s likely coming next Tuesday:
- The Instructor’s Intervention: Chapter 398 is expected to showcase the fallout of Jiwoo’s victory. Expect a high-ranking instructor to attempt to “discipline” Jiwoo under the guise of training, only for Kayden (in cat form) to release a sliver of killing intent that freezes the entire arena.
- Kartein’s Healing: Spoilers suggest Jiwoo’s core is showing signs of strain from his new technique. Kartein will likely have a “grumpy” session of healing while warning Jiwoo about the cost of his rapid growth.
- The Tuesday Cliffhanger: Early leaks indicate the chapter ends with a mysterious challenge from a member of the “Top 10” young rankers, setting the stage for the most dangerous duel in the series’ history.

FAQ Section: Let’s Chat Eleceed Lore
Is Kayden still in his cat form for a reason?
On OtakuSignal, we often discuss how the cat form isn’t just a disguise—it’s a recovery method. By staying in a smaller form, he can conserve his massive mana reserves while his core continues to heal from his previous world-shattering battles
Will Jiwoo ever learn Kartein’s healing?
While Jiwoo is primarily a combatant, he has shown a unique “compatibility” with all types of force control. However, his true talent lies in the explosive speed he inherited and refined under Kayden’s tutelage.
Who is the “Top 10” Ranker mentioned in the leaks?
Rumors suggest it’s the disciple of the Frame’s leader, someone who has been specifically trained to counter Kayden’s style.
