In this spoiler-free Solo Leveling season 2 review, I’ll give you a preview of what to expect in the first two episodes of the new season and whet your appetite for more.
Solo Leveling season 1 was a triumphant success especially on the international market. It has a 4.9 rating out of 5 on Crunchyroll with more than 350,000 votes and a score of 8.27 out of 10 on My Anime List rated by more than 460,000 users as of writing.
Originally a Korean web novel written by Chugong in 2016, it gained even more popularity when it was adapted into a webtoon by the late Jang Sung-rak (Dubu) in 2018. The anime, produced by Japanese studio A-1 Pictures, was released six years after in 2024.
This 2025, fans of the franchise are gearing up for Solo Leveling season 2.

Let me give you some context for this Solo Leveling season 2 review — I have read the entirety of the Solo Leveling manwha and I’m currently reading the translated novels in English. Of course, I’ve also watched season 1 of the anime.
While majority of fans did enjoy the 12 episodes in Solo Leveling season 1, a minority voiced concerns on its pacing, changes that diverge from the manwha, and the lack of emotional connection with characters.

Even though I am a fan, I can understand where these viewers were coming from. The one thing that was challenging to do is present Jinwoo’s thoughts in animated form. In a written medium, we are entirely privy to his inner world, but in the animation, it’s common for the voice actor to read out the characters’ thoughts as they stand idly in a scene.
Many scenes in season 1 were spent on Jinwoo’s inner reflections which is crucial to world-building, the plot, and his transformation as the main character. In turn, this slowed the pace down.
There are also a handful of side characters introduced and even more to come, which can be confusing. The biggest change is slotting in Cha Hae-In early on, possibly for fan service. Avoiding spoilers, let’s just say that she isn’t a very convincing character in the manwha either in my opinion, so it’s hard to fault the anime for that.

Is Solo Leveling season 1 in my top five anime of all time? Definitely not.
Did season 2 change my mind? It has potential to.
Despite all its flaws, the first two episodes of Solo Leveling season 2 made me completely forget them. Since a lot of background information was already expounded in season 1, viewers can expect the anime to accelerate from here.
In the final episode of season 1, we saw Jinwoo extract his shadow army and bring Igris under his banner. In season 2, you’re going to want to hang tight as we witness their first big battle together. The season will also explore ways in which Jinwoo expands his shadow army and new avenues for leveling up.
Despite growing in strength, it’s still not smooth-sailing for our protagonist. The dark theme of killing fellow humans hasn’t been swept under the rug. Not to mention, he’s still very much governed by the system and its limitations.
All in all, if you thought the animation in season 1 was good, just wait until you watch season 2 where new camera angles are deployed. Everything gets better — the edgy Jinwoo that we all know and love in the manwha is gradually coming to be.
Solo Leveling season 2 has finally arrived and fans of the series are in for a treat. The highly anticipated second season picks up right where the first season left off, with Sung Jinwoo continuing his journey to become the strongest hunter.
One of the standout aspects of this season is the character development of Sung Jinwoo. As we delve deeper into his past and motivations, we see a more vulnerable and human side to him. Despite his incredible power, he still grapples with his own insecurities and fears, making him a more relatable and endearing protagonist.
The action sequences in season 2 are as exhilarating as ever, with stunning animation and choreography that truly bring the battles to life. From epic one-on-one fights to intense group battles, each encounter is a thrill to watch.
But perhaps the most compelling aspect of season 2 is the emotional depth that is added to Sung Jinwoo’s character. As he forms new bonds and alliances with other hunters, we see a softer side to him that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. The relationships he forms throughout the season are complex and nuanced, adding layers to his character that make us fall in love with him even more.
Overall, Solo Leveling season 2 is a must-watch for fans of the series. With its captivating story, stunning animation, and compelling character development, it is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats and eagerly awaiting the next episode. So buckle up and get ready to fall in love with Sung Jinwoo all over again.

Season 2 of Solo Leveling is right around the corner. Considering how the first season ended with such a big teaser over Sung Jinwoo’s new power, it’s safe to say that the excitement for the new season is through the roof.
There’s a common Shonen trap that Solo Leveling might fall into with its upcoming season.
The first season focused on Jinwoo’s journey from a helpless E-Rank hunter to somebody who can hold his own against the ferocious dungeon monsters. The second season is all about his unstoppable rise to the height of power, the S-Rank Hunter. As such, there will be quite a few new characters introduced in the new season. Out of all of them, here are 8 characters that will shine the most. By the way, since this information is based on the original webcomic, there will be some minor spoilers up ahead. So if you prefer to only watch the anime, please proceed with caution.
8
Choi Jong-In
The S-Rank Guild Master of the Hunters Guild
Affiliation: Hunters Guild
First Appearance: Chapter 62
Choi Jong-In is the master of the biggest guild in South Korea, the Hunters Guild. This guild has 2 S-Rank hunters, tons of A-Rank hunters, and countless B-Rank hunters. That’s why they are the only guild in the country that has 2 Strike Squads.
At the heart of the Hunters Guild is its master, Choi Jong-In. He is an S-Rank fire mage who specializes in wide-scale attacks. He will display some of his firepower in the second season, but we won’t get to see Choi Jong-In unleash his full power. However, we’ll get to see him engage in a hilarious bidding war with Baek Yoonho over who can persuade Sung Jinwoo to join their guild first.
7
Hwang Dongsoo
An S-Rank Hunter from the Scavenger Guild
Affiliation: Scavenger Guild
First Appearance: Chapter 24
Hwang Dongsoo is a Korean-born S-Rank Hunter who decided to join a famous U.S.-based guild called the Scavenger Guild. This decision sparked outrage among the Korean people, some of which even called him a traitor. Hwang Dongsoo himself is an arrogant man with a short fuse. He knows he is powerful and won’t hesitate to threaten people with his power.
Hwang Dongsoo has a brother named Hwang Dongsuk, who was actually the cruel man that Jinwoo killed in the dungeon back in the first season. The purpose of Hwang Dongsoo’s appearance in the second season is to hunt his brother’s killer, Sung Jinwoo.
6
Baek Yoonho
The S-Rank Guild Master of the White Tiger Guild
Affiliation: White Tiger Guild
First Appearance: Chapter 47
Baek Yoonho is an S-Rank hunter and the master of the second biggest guild in South Korea, the White Tiger Guild. He is a fighter who can transform into a magical white beast. The transformation comes gradually, and the closer he comes to the original form of the White Beast, the stronger he is.
Guilds are an integral part of the Solo Leveling world. Here’s a closer look at how they work.
Just like Choi Jong-In, we won’t see Baek Yoonho unleash his full power in season 2. As mentioned earlier, he appears mostly in his capacity as a Guild Master, particularly in his attempt to recruit Sung Jinwoo into his guild. That being said, we’ll get a glimpse of Baek Yoonho’s white beast power during his skirmish with another S-Rank hunter, Hwang Dongsoo.
5
Cha Hae-In
The S-Rank Vice Guild Master of the Hunters Guild
Affiliation: Hunters Guild
First Appearance: Chapter 65
Cha Hae-In is an S-Rank hunter and the vice guild master of the Hunters Guild. Despite being one of the youngest S-Rank hunters in the world, Cha Hae-In is actually among the top 3 most powerful S-Rank hunters in South Korea. There’s even an argument to be made that she is in fact stronger than her guild master, Choi Jong-In. That being said since Cha Hae-In is a fighter that specializes in swordplay, her role is different than Choi Jong-In the heavy hitters, so it’s actually difficult to compare the two.
Cha Hae-In will make her appearance around the same time as Choi Jong-In. Unlike her guild master, however, Cha Hae-In is more interested in Sung Jinwoo as a person, not as a hunter. We won’t get to see her use all of her powers in season 2, but we’ll get a chance to witness Cha Hae-In demolishing monsters in a dungeon.
4
Go Gunhee
The S-Rank Chairman of the Korean Hunters Association
Affiliation: Korean Hunters Association
First Appearance: Chapter 63
Go Gunhee is an S-Rank hunter and the Chairman of the Korean Hunters Association. As somebody who is already in his 80s, he is one of the oldest S-Rank hunters in the world. Despite his old age, however, Go Gunhee is still an intimidating man, thanks to his towering height and wrestle-like body.
Although he is still an S-Rank, Go Gunhee is no longer active on the frontlines. His focus lies in nurturing and regulating the countless active hunters in South Korea. In Season 2, Go Gunhee is one of the first people who acknowledge Sung Jinwoo’s power.
3
Baran and the Dungeon Bosses
The Final Boss of the Demon Castle
Affiliation: The Demon Castle
First Appearance: Chapter 85
Most of the characters mentioned above are the good guys. So it’s time to talk about the villains who will certainly be the highlights of the second season. So who is Jinwoo’s biggest enemy in season 2? The answer is obviously the dungeon’s monsters, particularly the powerful dungeon bosses.
Winter 2025 brings Solo Leveling Season 2—get ready for unparalleled action, captivating visuals, and Jinwoo’s epic growth as a hunter.
Season 2 will have so many different varieties of dangerous and powerful dungeon bosses. There’s Baruka, the Ice Elf who rules over the snowy forest of the Red Dungeon and fights with Ice Daggers. There’s Vulcan, the boss of the 50th floor of the Demon Castle who can move incredibly fast despite its massive body. But the most memorable enemy in season 2 has to be the Demon King himself, Baran. He rides atop a menacing Wyvern and attacks Jinwoo from above with his thunderous long sword. These fights will definitely be the most exciting part of Season 2.
2
Igris and the Shadow Soldiers
The First Shadow Elite Knight
Affiliation: Monarch of Shadows
First Appearance: Chapter 45
As the name suggests, Solo Leveling is a story that focuses on the protagonist’s solo journey to increase his level by challenging dungeons and defeating monsters. As such, the overwhelming majority of the story will be about the protagonist himself, Sung Jinwoo. However, as we’ve seen at the end of the first season, Sung Jinwoo won’t be struggling through these difficult paths alone. He will fight alongside his Shadow Soldiers.
His first proper Shadow Solider is none other than Igriss, the Red Knight. Igriss will have a much more prominent role during Jinwoo’s increasingly dangerous dungeon dives in season 2. Not only that, Jinwoo will add more reliable Shadow Soldiers into his army, such as Iron the Warrior, Tank the Mad Beast, and Tusk the Fearsome Mage. Their exploit with the Monarch of Shadows will definitely be the highlight of season 2.
1
Sung Jinwoo
Korea’s 10th S-Rank Hunter
Affiliation: Ahjin Guild
First Appearance: Chapter 1
As you can expect, the character who will shine the brightest in the second season of Solo Leveling is none other than the main character himself, soon-to-be Korea’s 10th S-Rank Hunter Sung Jinwoo. In season 2, our hero will experience the greatest changes in his life. Not only in terms of power but personality and appearance as well.
After all, when he raids dungeons upon dungeons and fights against terrifying monsters every day, some major changes are bound to happen. We’ll have a calmer, more calculated, leaner, more muscular, and certainly much more lethal version of Sung Jinwoo. Furthermore, we’ll get to see him fight in all sorts of dungeons—a snowy mountain range, a dense tropical forest, a city on fire, just to name a few—against all sorts of monsters.
And then there are also mundane activities that will certainly pique the interest of many RPG fans out there, such as obtaining new skills, spending experience points on certain attributes, collecting ingredients for crafting high-ranking items, and many more. If you’re an RPG fan or a fan of action-adventure anime in general, be sure to follow the upcoming Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadow.
These terrifying Monarchs will likely make an appearance in the second season of Solo Leveling when it debuts in 2025.
Solo Leveling Season 2 has fans eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite characters and the introduction of new ones. While every character brings something unique to the table, here are a few that are sure to shine in the upcoming season:
1. Sung Jin-Woo: The protagonist of the series, Sung Jin-Woo has already proven himself to be a formidable hunter with his unique abilities and unwavering determination. As he continues to grow stronger and face more powerful enemies, fans can expect to see him truly come into his own in Season 2.
2. Cha Hae-In: A skilled and powerful hunter, Cha Hae-In has already shown her prowess in battles alongside Sung Jin-Woo. With her strong sense of justice and loyalty, she is sure to play a significant role in the upcoming season as she stands by Sung Jin-Woo’s side.
3. Thomas Andre: The leader of the American Hunters Association, Thomas Andre is a force to be reckoned with. With his imposing presence and incredible strength, he is sure to make a big impact in Season 2 as he faces off against powerful foes alongside Sung Jin-Woo.
4. Beru: Sung Jin-Woo’s loyal shadow soldier, Beru is a powerful ally who will undoubtedly play a key role in the upcoming season. With his unwavering loyalty to Sung Jin-Woo and his incredible strength, Beru is sure to have some epic moments in Season 2.
5. Ashborn: The enigmatic ruler of the demon castle, Ashborn is a mysterious and powerful figure who is sure to make a big impact in Season 2. With his dark powers and intimidating presence, fans can expect some epic battles and revelations involving Ashborn in the upcoming season.
Overall, Solo Leveling Season 2 is shaping up to be an exciting and action-packed journey for fans, with these characters and many more set to shine in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates and epic moments as the story continues to unfold!
Solo Leveling’s first season took a beloved story and made it a household name due to the quality of the production and its loyalty to the essence of the source material. If Episode 2 is any indication of the trajectory of the rest of the anime, Season 2 is set to level up the franchise even more. Solo Leveling’s story was always great in the light novel by Chugong, but it was DUBU’s incredibly consistent art that propelled the manhwa to superstardom. It’s that same art that fans were most skeptical about being sufficiently adapted into anime, but A-1 Pictures continues to exceed expectations into Season 2 with Episode 2, “I Suppose You Aren’t Aware.” Once again, Solo Leveling raises the bar to show that, as legendary as its source material is, there are some things only anime can do.
Continuing the Red Gate arc that began in Episode 1, Episode 2 (or Episode 14 of the entire series overall) is full of intense action from start to finish, capturing everything fans want from the series. Episode 1 was an action-packed premiere, but it was only a hint at what was to come. Episode 2, meanwhile, immediately jumps into the big battle that was only hinted at in Episode 1, and it delivers on all fronts. All the important story beats are still there, from Sung Jinwoo’s struggle with his humanity to the mystery of the System. However, these core subplots take a secondary role to the high-intensity sakuga that characterizes Solo Leveling’s highlight reel. Season 2’s first episode was a great reintroduction, but Episode 2 brings fans right back into the thick of what made Solo Leveling one of the most talked-about anime series of 2024.
Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 2 Ramps up the Action to Epic New Highs
The Episode Has Multiple Awesome Fights Take Place Simultaneously
Episode 2 opens immediately with Jinwoo doing what he does best: raising a group of new Shadow Soldiers to add to his army. This represents a major tonal shift from Season 1 that will only become more prominent as Jinwoo continues to expand his army, taking the weight off his shoulders and imposing his power on greater and greater threats. While Jinwoo had to level up on his own before, he can now exert power in numbers. There are still limits to that power, such as the necessity to have enough mana to keep resurrecting his soldiers to keep fighting. Yet even with those limitations, Jinwoo has become more overpowered than ever as of Season 2, and this episode shows the extent of his new abilities in action.
Solo Leveling has an intriguing story and lore, but it’s undeniably the entertaining combat and fights that keep fans coming back. This episode focuses on the fighting, with conflicts going on both inside and outside the Gate that make every second count. Hwang Dongsoo was a character repeatedly hinted at in Season 1, but Season 2 immediately brings him to prominence in a terrifying new way. This is the first real look fans get at his strength, and it’s just as impressive as an S Rank can be expected to be. Dongsoo makes up an interesting secondary conflict in the background of Jinwoo’s more present concerns throughout Season 2’s premiere, and it all comes to a head in Episode 2.
Solo Leveling’s second season introduces a brand new Sung Jinwoo following his Job Change as the Shadow Monarch and a new obstacle for him to overcome
Back inside the Red Gate is where the true action happens in Episode 2, though. Awesome visual effects and fight choreography are what this episode is all about. It’s all accompanied by an excellent score by Hiroyuki Sawano that’s as upbeat as it needs to be, while equally reserved enough to highlight the conflicting emotions of Jinwoo’s situation. Amidst all this, Jinwoo pulls off a number of potentially TikTok-viral attacks with just the expected amount of blood. There are also more than enough instances of glowing eyes and confident quips to remind fans of why they fell in love with Jinwoo in the first place.
Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 2 Shows Jinwoo’s Rise From the Other Characters’ Perspective
The Episode Highlights How Jinwoo May Be Becoming Inseparable From the Monsters
While the story is still marginally told through Jinwoo, it’s through the eyes of the other characters in Episode 2 that viewers can see in a new light how Jinwoo has really evolved. The main vessels for this added perspective are the two highest ranking Hunters who joined the Raid Party: A Rank Healer Heejin Park, and A Rank Tanker Kim Chul. Heejin herself is given an interesting visual element that isn’t in the manhwa, but is a great character design choice in helping her standout as an upper-level Hunter. She’s a strong Hunter with a solid moral compass, and she’s able to discern the heroes from the villains from the moment she’s given the choice between going with Chul or Jinwoo.
By far, the most entertaining human character in Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 2, other than Jinwoo himself, is Kim Chul. Following the trauma he endured in the first episode, Chul goes down a psychological spiral that plays an integral part in the events that transpire. Despite being presented as a minor antagonist in demeanor, Chul’s personal viewpoint almost paints Jinwoo as a something of a villain, forcing the audience into a conflicted position as they witness yet another deplorable act to add to Jinwoo’s ever-growing list of atrocities.
They’re made of shadow, every single one of them! And Hunter Sung must be their master! – Heejin Park
In order to make a product best suited for the medium it’s made in, it’s natural for changes to be made between different adaptations.
Breaking up these more serious moments is the humor of the Shadow Army, which is a highlight of Episode 2. Igris was already a great character, but the newly arisen Iron is the highlight of the episode. The personalities of the Shadow Soldiers finally begin to shine through in this episode and it’s great to see. Iron and Igris have immediate chemistry, despite being unable to communicate verbally. The combined efforts of Jinwoo with his Shadow Soldiers also adds something special to the fights that wasn’t present in Jinwoo’s Season 1 battles.
Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 2 Focuses on the Mystery of the System
The Episode Answers Some Questions While Asking New Ones
While a lot is going on outside the Red Gate, the episode’s main event is undoubtedly the amazing fight between Jinwoo and the Ice Elves led by Baruka. While Season 1’s biggest fights were intense one-on-one duels between Jinwoo and the bosses of the Gates, Jinwoo’s Shadow Soldier army brings a whole new dynamic to the fighting. Jinwoo is still in control as the leader, so the best moments are always still a result of his genius leadership abilities. That said, he takes on a true role of power as the commander of an army that wasn’t present in his upward climb to strength throughout Season 1.
The battle between the Ice Elves and the Shadow Soldiers is top tier Solo Leveling at its finest, but this isn’t the only thing of interest there. There’s a sense of intrigue created by Baruka when he tells Jinwoo a shocking new revelation regarding the latter’s relationship to Magic Beasts since being turned into The Player. The System has always been the core of what makes Solo Leveling’s storyline different from any other power fantasy quasi-isekai shonen on the market, and it’s great to see its mystery take center stage during this episode’s climax.
The next season of the Solo Leveling begins soon, with the series’ compilation movie offering a sneak peek at upcoming Arise from the Shadow.
Since Jinwoo was first “killed” by giant humanoid statues and resurrected to become The Player, the mystery of the System, who controls it, and why it was made in the first place have been the driving forces behind Jinwoo’s story. As an individual character, Jinwoo is a fairly straightforward and simplistic shōnen protagonist. This is especially true in the anime, which makes his arc somewhat more humanizing than the manhwa felt at times. That’s a largely positive and more realistic change, but the basic quality of Jinwoo’s character arc wouldn’t be enough to drive a narrative that’s as popular as Solo Leveling. There simply has to be more to him than just embodying the audience’s edgy isekai power fantasy.
Instead, it’s the ever-present mystery of the System in the background that makes the overarching story and Jinwoo’s journey work. It’s even better this time around due to how well the anime actually delivers on the lore and world-building that brings it all together in the long run. With that in mind, Baruka further fuels Jinwoo’s existential crisis in a way that will surely shock audiences. This, combined with the ethically questionable creation of Iron, helps Episode 2 tackle most of Solo Leveling’s major themes in just one episode. All this occurs in the middle of what are this season’s best fights so far, and arguably some of the best in the series, even in comparison to Season 1’s most iconic fights.
Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 2 Makes Small but Important Changes to the Manhwa
The Anime Continues to Expand on the Source Material in Interesting Ways
I guess… that makes three times… – Sung Jinwoo
Aside from bringing the manhwa’s combat to life, the anime’s best aspect was improving on the source material, fixing the original story’s biggest flaws while still retaining the stylistic action and character moments that made it so beloved. Episode 2 takes liberties here and there throughout its runtime, but the most substantial, and best, change comes at the ending. The manhwa initially concludes this arc with a lighthearted scene, but the anime puts that moment off to instead give viewers a more emotionally charged and dramatic conclusion. It’s especially important as it drives home the major bombshell Jinwoo learns from Baruka in this episode. It also continues to add on that sense of humanity that Jinwoo lacked in the source material, making him feel more cohesive with who he was at the start of the story. This is important character development that Solo Leveling sorely needed, and it promises to make this adaptation a more satisfying storyline that expands on the original.
This change may not be too substantial, nor does it undermine or remove anything from the manhwa. None of the major events are rewritten, and the characters are pretty much the same as they were in the manhwa. However, if there is a flaw to this adaptational change and the episode as a whole, it would be that Jinwoo’s character arc in the anime is more straightforward than in the manhwa. The anime takes some of the edge away to see his inner conflict, and that will undoubtedly throw the more die-hard manhwa fans and purists off. On the positive side, this change not only adds a layer of complexity to Jinwoo’s character, but also provides a bit of tension to the end of the episode that a one-to-one copy of the manhwa wouldn’t have provided. This gives the episode a natural cliffhanger where there initially wouldn’t have been one, and it’s a welcome addition. Despite the newly suspenseful ending, it’s still a satisfying conclusion that closes the conflict that Season 2’s opening began. The first two episodes of Solo Leveling‘s second season make a quick and compact introductory arc that was perfect for a stand-alone for a film like ReAwakening, but they also offer enough intrigue to keep viewers invested and wanting more.
Sung Jinwoo is back with Igris and his newly Arisen Shadow Army in a familiar recap movie that offers an exciting glimpse into Solo Leveling Season 2.
If the anime continues to follow the manhwa as closely as it has been (and judging by the trailers, it will), Season 2’s Red Gate arc will follow immediately with the epic Demon’s Castle arc starting in Episode 3. This would theoretically be the most action-intensive part of the series yet, and judging by the combat in Episode 2, it’s going to be amazing. Episode 2 is Solo Leveling in a nutshell: a fast-paced fight against a villain who’s just strong enough to make Jinwoo look impressive, but not strong enough to make him look bad. This represents the true change in Jinwoo that Season 1 built up to, as Jinwoo is no longer the weak, nameless E Hunter desperately fighting for survival. Now, he’s the overpowered leader of an equally powerful army of Shadow Soldiers, and he’s far from done leveling up.
Solo Leveling Season 2 begins streaming January 10th on Crunchyroll.
