Black Knight Ending Explained: The sci-fi series “Black Knight” by Cho Ui-Seok on Netflix is based on the Lee Yun-kyun webtoon of the same name. Kim Woo-bin, along with Esom, Kang You-Seok, and Song Seung-Heon, is the lead actor in this South Korean drama. 

The show takes place in an air-polluted post-apocalyptic world where people must depend on deliveries for essentials such as oxygen to survive.

This highly stratified society, controlled by a corrupt government, is navigated by the legendary deliveryman known as 5-8. He meets Sa-wol, a refugee who wishes to be just like 5-8, while on his quest for justice. 

5-8 and Sa-Wol work together, with the assistance of Major Seol-ah, in an effort to safeguard the world’s most vulnerable connections.

If you’re curious to know more about the ending of this dystopian nightmarish world, then you have come to the right place. Everything related to the ending of the series Black Knight will be discussed here in this article in detail.

Black Knight Ending Explained: Has the Cheonmyeong Group Been Overthrown By 5-8?

Yes! 5-8, together with the assistance of other deliverymen, Sa-wol, and Seol-ah, were able to put an end to Ryu Seok’s awful plan to rid the world of all migrants and put an end to the suffering of refugees.

5-8 and Co travel to the Core District to kill Ryu Seok after Sa-wol’s grandfather gives them a map of the area.

When they get there, they immediately begin killing all of the guards guarding the perimeter of the Core District. 

They enter the building and immediately begin firing at any guard they encounter. Sa-Wol is giving Ryu Seok a blood transfusion in a covert place in the Core District while this is happening.

His security personnel show live video footage for him of the deliverymen located downstairs, including 5-8 and the others. 

At the hidden location, all of the abducted children are housed in incubators. While the other deliverymen and Seol-ah keep clearing up the Core District, 5-8 discovers where Ryu Seok is hiding.

The kidnapped children are eventually freed by the deliverymen, who then hastily leave. After everyone has left, Ryu Seok is still inside the burning building when it bursts.

The Cheonmyeong Group no longer exists. The first residents to move into District A after the completion of construction are refugees. A social structure that divided the population into refugee, general, special, and core no longer exists.

There is no inequality. In conclusion, the government is making consistent efforts to improve the system that supplies oxygen, and as a result, the air quality is getting better.

Is 5-8 Able To Save Sa-Wol?

Gramps used to be friends with Sa-wol’s father, who worked in an oxyanium mine. Though Sa-Wol doesn’t know very much about his family, Gramps does.

For possessing a significant amount of radioactive material, the mines are well-known. As a result, radiation exposure to Sa-wol’s father causes him to mutate, giving birth to a child with metal bones and quick recovery. 

Prior to Sa-wol’s discovery of a mutant, the general populace rejected the existence of mutants as urban legends.

However, despite Ryu Seok and his team of scientists’ knowledge of the existence of mutants, they had never come across one as healthy as Sa-Wol. Ryu Seok has a condition that was probably brought on by the postapocalyptic setting. 

Ryu Seok kidnaps children from ordinary regions whose parents were miners in search of a cure. He uses these kids as test subjects for human experiments to try to heal his illness, but so far his efforts have been in vain.

As a result, when he learns that Sa-wol possesses metal bones and is a full-fledged mutant, he orders his soldiers to kidnap Sa-Wol and put him in experiments.

In order to examine a test subject with symptoms resembling Ryu Seok, Mr. Oh’s team removes mutant stem cells from Sa-Wol.

Ryu Seok receives a blood transfusion from Sa-wol following the successful outcome of the examination. In the meantime, 58 enters the Core district through the computerized ceiling while Gramps gives 5-8 the blueprint to the underground Core district. 

Rogue deliverymen are assaulting the Cheonmyeong Group headquarters, and Major Seol-ha’s soldiers are backing them up.

Reaching the last lab, 5-8 locates Ryu Seok. Knowing that 5-8 cares about the child on some level, Ryu Seok places a gun to the head of a Sa-wol who has passed out. The two eventually engage in a gunfight.

5-8 shoots Ryu Seok after Ryu Seok exhibits no sign of regret for his conduct, and then he and Sa-Wol leave the building together.

Does Sa-wol Turn Into A Black Knight?

Yes, Sa-wol’s dream comes true and he becomes a deliveryman. Following Ryu Seok’s involvement in the indirect murder of 5-7, he organizes a rigorous competition to recruit a deliveryman to replace them.

Sa-Wol participates in the competition and successfully completes all the demanding tasks to emerge as the winner.
