The final episode of the Solo Leveling anime aired recently, confirming earlier speculations about the episode count. As expected, the first season concluded with 12 episodes, much to the delight of fans. Adding to the excitement, A-1 Pictures has also announced a second season.
Returning to the finale, the studio executed an exceptional job in concluding the epic battle and showcasing Sung Jin-Woo’s newfound abilities. The animation, soundtrack, and fight choreography were all superb, adding to the intensity of each moment.
Now that the season has come to a close, there remains a lingering curiosity about the specific chapter that the Solo Leveling anime concluded on.
What is the current status of the Solo Leveling anime adaptation?
The Solo Leveling anime concluded with chapter 45, showcasing Sung Jin-Woo’s latest abilities, Shadow Extraction and Shadow Storage, in the final episode which adapted chapters 41 to 45.
Participating in the “Job Change Quest”pitted him against armored-type Magic Beasts in the initial round, followed by a battle against Igris, the Blood Red Commander in the second round, and a final wave of Knights and Mages. Successfully defeating all opponents resulted in him earning bonus points and rewards.
However, the title that held the utmost significance was his, initially known as “Necromancer”, but later elevated to “Shadow Monarch”due to the added bonuses. Despite this, he was granted an extraordinary ability to summon the shadows of his defeated enemies and have them “Arise”to join his Shadow Army.
The decision by A-1 Pictures to end the Solo Leveling anime with a gripping cliffhanger only adds to the excitement and anticipation for the upcoming second season, titled Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadow. While the official release date has yet to be announced, it is expected to arrive sometime in 2024.
What is the future of the Manhwa?
As previously stated, the Solo Leveling anime concluded at chapter 45 of the Manhwa. For those curious, the anime is anticipated to resume at chapter 46 and progress the plot. With his newly acquired powers, Jin-Woo is now more powerful than ever before and is likely at a higher rank in the Hunter Ranking System.
In Chapter 46, Jin-Woo returns home and the next item on his agenda is attending Sung Jinah’s parent-teacher conference. This chapter also marks the formal introduction of Han Song-Yi, the hooded girl who accompanied Jin-Woo and Jinho on their raids. Despite being a supporting character, Han Song-Yi plays a significant role in the story.
Based on the episode count and pacing chosen by the studio, it is likely that the second season will be similar. It is expected that the anime will cover the manhwa up to chapter 90/91, which will be sufficient to include the Jeju Island Arc and finally introduce the highly anticipated character, Beru.
However, this is still uncertain as no official confirmation has been received yet.
