Get ready to celebrate, Solo Leveling fans—our favorite action-packed anime is back for a second season, and it’s already stealing the show! The story picks up where we left off with Sung Jinwoo, the so-called “weakest hunter in the world,” whose goal is to prove that labels don’t matter when you can go toe-to-toe with magical monsters.
Even though Crunchyroll has only dropped one episode so far, it didn’t take long for this new season to smash its own record for most-liked premiere. According to an update posted by the devoted fansite SoloLevelAnime, Solo Leveling Season 2 racked up a jaw-dropping 129,000 likes within just 24 hours—soaring past its previous high of 114,000 likes from Season 1, which took nearly two whole days to reach.
If you’re wondering what lies ahead, buckle up: this new chapter is expected to include 13 episodes, one airing each week on Crunchyroll until around March. For anyone who wants the complete schedule in one place, be sure to check out our rundown of the release dates so you won’t miss a single thrilling moment.
Now, let’s talk about the story itself—because if the premiere is any hint, you’re in for a wild ride. It’s been over a decade since strange portals began popping up across the globe, unleashing swarms of magical creatures from another dimension. Enter the “hunters,” humans who awakened supernatural abilities to keep these beasts at bay. Typically, a hunter’s powers stay the same from day one, meaning there’s no leveling up. That is, until Sung Jinwoo’s fateful encounter in a double dungeon led him to gain an incredible skill: the ability to grow stronger with every fight.
Thanks to this boost, he took on the title of “Shadow Monarch,” gaining command of an entire army of shadowy soldiers. Now, he’s on a mission to track down the components for the legendary Elixir of Life—a quest sparked by his determination to cure his ailing mother. With the stakes this high, you can bet that Season 2 is going to be a rollercoaster of epic proportions. So grab some popcorn, mark your calendars, and get ready for a supercharged return to the world of Solo Leveling!
