Solo Leveling Season 2 is off to a thrilling start as the first episode commences the Red Gate Arc. Upon request from Jinah’s teacher, Jinwoo takes Han Song-Yi on a mission to expose her to the horrors of being a hunter. Song-Yi’s teacher wants her to rethink being a hunter, but the former is set on that goal. Jinwoo takes her to a C-Rank Gate with members from the White Tiger Guild. The mission is supposed to be on the safer side with several talented hunters. However, things go awry as soon as they step inside the gate.

The gate turns red, and now they are trapped there, forced to deal with monsters they are clearly no match against. Amid the chaos, Jinwoo notices Igris is more skilled than he initially thought. He still has a long way to go, which further proves that the current situation may be challenging even for him. The season premiere shows the brutality of the Red Gate as Kim Chulโs team is being slaughtered by dangerous monsters. Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 2 will be released on Saturday, January 11th, 2025. The official website of the anime shares preview stills and a synopsis before the release.

Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 2 Preview and Synopsis
The official website of Solo Leveling’s anime shares, “A few days have passed since Jinwoo and his friends set foot inside the Red Gate. While Jinwoo and his team are in the forest, the dungeon’s boss, the ice elf “Baruka,” appears with his flock in front of them. Jinwoo is somehow able to understand the language of monsters, so Baruka offers to spare Jinwoo if they hand over the members of the attack team, but…”
The monsters attacking Kim Chul’s team are known as ice elves, and their leader is Baruka. His face was hidden in the first episode, but the preview reveals his appearance. Jinwoo will meet this dangerous foe who can easily communicate with him. Additionally, the preview still confirms that Baek Yoonho will be making an appearance, too. He is likely standing outside the Red Gate.
Jinwoo doesn’t seem like the type to surrender to Baruka, so he will likely retaliate, leading to yet another action-packed episode. Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 1 is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, where you can also catch up with the first season. The anime drops new episodes every Saturday, so don’t forget to mark your calendars.
