Why Eleceed Chapter 401 Matters
Eleceed is the perfect blend of high-octane supernatural action and absolutely hilarious cat-based comedy. The story follows Jiwoo, a pure-hearted kid with super speed, and Kayden, the world’s most powerful, ruthless awakener who is currently trapped in the body of a fat, fluffy orange cat.
For nearly 400 chapters, Kayden has acted as Jiwoo’s unshakeable shield and mentor. However, the recent arcs have heavily focused on Jiwoo establishing his own terrifying reputation.
What makes this moment so powerful? Reaching Chapter 401 signifies a massive turning point in the series. The raw chapter title hints at Jiwoo “beginning to surpass” Kayden, which is the ultimate payoff for readers who have watched Jiwoo train relentlessly. This chapter forces the elite awakeners of the world to finally acknowledge Jiwoo not just as Kayden’s apprentice, but as an absolute monster in his own right.
Eleceed Chapter 401 Spoilers
Because Eleceed operates on a strict weekly schedule where English scanlations translate the Korean raws just hours after they release, panel-by-panel spoilers are tightly guarded. However, based on the massive power display in Chapter 400, readers know exactly where this is heading.
A Power Beyond Reason
Following the events of Chapter 400, Jiwoo is expected to fully unleash the combination of his innate super speed and Kayden’s devastating electrical force control. Fans anticipate a high-speed combat sequence where Jiwoo overwhelms an opponent that even veteran awakeners struggle against.
Kayden’s Pride (and Ego)
While Jiwoo fights, Kayden’s reaction is always the highlight. Fans expect Chapter 401 to feature Kayden in his fat cat form, struggling between immense pride that his student is destroying the competition and his massive ego realizing that Jiwoo is growing fast enough to genuinely rival his own legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Kayden ever return to his human body permanently?
This is one of the biggest driving tensions of the series. While Kayden has recovered enough power to temporarily assume his human form for major fights, his core injuries still prevent him from staying human permanently without burning out his life force.
Is there romance in Eleceed?
Yes, but it takes a heavy backseat to the action. Jiwoo’s relationship with Jiyoung (the head of the Shinhwa Awakener group) is a very slow, wholesome burn.
Are there any other manhwa like this?
If you love overpowered mentors, rapid character growth, and supernatural school/gang action, you should definitely read The Breaker or Noblesse (which was also written by Son Jae Ho!).
