What to Expect From Solo Leveling Season 2
As shown in the preview, Sung Jinwoo will attend his sister Jinah’s parent-teacher meeting. A teacher asks him to persuade one of Jinah’s classmates against dropping out to become a Hunter. Jinwoo agrees with the request and takes the girl to observe rookie Hunter training to reveal the dangers of being a Hunter. However, the mission goes awry as a C-rank Gate transforms into a Red Gate, leading them to a high-level dungeon from which they can’t find an escape route. Season 2 will cover multiple arcs, including the Red Gate Arc.
They are stuck inside in a snowy landscape with monsters more powerful than they can fight. Jinwooโs powers continue to grow even in the most dire circumstances. The season will also unravel the mysteries behind the Monarchs (ancient beings intent on destroying humanity) and the Rulers (those trying to protect the world). Jinwoo learns about their conflict and his unique role in it. Amid the chaos, he will also continue to look for a way to create the Elixir of Life to heal his mother. The Red Gate Arc runs from Chapters 46 to 63, which means Season 2 might also adapt more arcs such as Demon Castle, Retesting, and Hunters Guild Arcs.
