Following the conclusion of season 1, the announcement of Solo Leveling season 2 quickly followed. The initial season concluded with an intense climax, as Sung Jin-Woo was declared the “Shadow Monarch”and manifested a terrifying new power.
Additionally, the adversary responsible for his near-death experience, Igris the Blood Red Commander, has now pledged his loyalty to Jin-Woo. With his new ability, Shadow Extraction, Jin-Woo can summon the shadows of his defeated enemies to join his Shadow Army. The final scene of episode 12 is expected to be the standout moment of the entire first season.
Despite the excitement surrounding season 1, it ended with a significant cliffhanger that left fans eager for more. Specifically, fans were left wondering about the character Hwang Dongsoo. This article will explore whether or not the upcoming season 2, titled Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadow, will provide answers to this unresolved storyline and in what manner.
Please note: The following article contains spoilers for season 2 of Solo Leveling.
Solo Leveling season 2 will continue the epic journey of Sung Jin-Woo
Despite the pacing of the first season, it is highly improbable that Solo Leveling season 2 will conclude the storyline involving Hwang Dongsoo. As fans may recall, after the Kang Taeshik incident, Woo Jinchul cautioned Jin-Woo about being targeted by an S-Rank hunter named Hwang Dongsoo.
This was an added incentive for Jin-Woo to continue pushing himself and striving to level up at a faster pace. However, for those curious about a potential confrontation between the two, it will not happen in season 2. The upcoming season of Solo Leveling appears to center around the Jeju Island Arc, which has been foreshadowed since the first episode.
Thanks to his newly acquired skill of Shadow Extraction, Jin-Woo has reached a new level of strength and is constantly evolving. The story picks up immediately after Jin-Woo’s attendance at Sung Jinah’s parent-teacher conference, as he and Han Song-Yi join a raid led by the White Tiger Guild.
This is the location where he would encounter Kim Chul, White Tiger’s newest A-Rank Tank. Unfortunately, disaster strikes when the gate they enter transforms into a Red Gate, which only opens under specific circumstances. This leads to a potential showdown between Hwang Dongsoo and Baek Yoonho, the Guild Master of White Tiger.
The Jeju Island Arc has been described as both epic and gruesome. The events that took place on the island have left a lasting impact on many Hunters, such as Yoonho and Choi Jong-In, and have been highly traumatic.
In the upcoming season 2 of Solo Leveling, viewers can expect the introduction of S-Rank Hunters from various countries, including the renowned Goto Ryuji. Fans will also get to witness a brief confrontation between Ryuji and Jin-Woo. After the Red Gate incident, Jin-Woo will embark on a journey to the Demon Castle in order to obtain the necessary ingredients for the Elixir of Life.
In the upcoming second season, Jin-Woo will once again apply for a rank re-evaluation. Additionally, viewers can expect the highly anticipated debut of Demon Princess, Esil Radiru. As seen in A-1 Pictures’ season 1 finale, the final episode of season 2 will also leave fans on the edge of their seats, teasing a glimpse at the powerful Ant King, also known as Beru.
Final Thoughts
It is possible that Solo Leveling season 2 will not bring a resolution to the Hwang Dongsoo situation in the near future.
Readers who are eager to continue can start reading the Manhwa from chapter 46, which begins at Jinah’s parent-teacher conference. Those who prefer the novel can pick up the story from chapter 56, with the same content.
