One of Winter 2025’s Must-Watch Animes
Season 1 of Solo Leveling adapted 45 chapters of the original manhwa, spanning seven arcs, culminating in the Job Change Quest. Here, Jinwoo faced a horde of undead knights and the formidable commander, Igris, who subsequently joined his shadow army. Season 2 will continue directly from the first season’s cliffhanger, with Jinwoo’s shadow army poised to play a crucial role in awakening even greater powers. This season is anticipated to stretch into the Jeju Island arc, which concludes at chapter 127 of the manhwa.
Additionally, viewers can look forward to Jinwoo unraveling more mysteries of his system while seeking ingredients for a rare potion that could potentially cure his mother. Given the overwhelming popularity of the first season, it’s no wonder that season 2 is one of the most awaited anime releases for winter 2025. Fans should prepare for an exhilarating continuation of the story.
