Jinwoo Sung became one of the biggest anime protagonists of 2024 thanks to the brutal and heart-pounding anime series known as Solo Leveling. Going from a warrior dubbed “The World’s Worst Hunter” to a brawler who might just be the world’s strongest, it took little time for the anime adaptation to confirm that a second season was on the way. With the second season premiere only a few days away, a new preview has arrived that teases what Sung will be up to in his upcoming adventures as well as what challenges are set to come between him and his mother’s ailing health.

Solo Leveling as a whole is the very definition of a “power fantasy” in that it focuses on a low-level protagonist who is given the opportunity to become a powerhouse in his own right. For Jinwoo Sung, the anime hero has not had an easy time despite his power boost as he attempts to navigate a newfound system that boosts his strength but routinely places him into life-or-death scenarios. In the first season finale, Sung “leveled up” to such an extent that he was able to take on a new class in “Necromancer.” Now that Jinwoo can raise the dead, the second season is preparing to be a brand new ball game from what we witnessed in Solo Leveling’s premiere outing.

Solo Leveling: 2025’s Comeback
While Solo Leveling’s second season will be making its television premiere next month, theater-goers had the chance to check out the first two episodes on the silver screen earlier in 2024. Solo Leveling: ReAwakening hit theaters with both a thorough breakdown of the anime’s first season but also showed Jinwoo’s early battles in the next season. Without diving deep into spoiler territory here, Sung puts his new necromancy abilities to good use and proves that the sky is the limit when it comes to hsi newfound strength. You can check out the latest images for Solo Leveling’s season two premiere below.
Solo Leveling Takes The Anime World By Storm
Solo Leveling’s rise to anime stardom is especially worth noticing not just thanks to its wild story and battles but also since the series first began as a “Manwha.” Rather than Jinwoo Sung’s trials and tribulations arriving as a Japanese manga, creator Chugong released the original comic in South Korea, adding to the medium’s ever growing presence in the anime world. Other manwha anime include Tower of God, The God of High School, Noblesse, and Lookism to name a few.
While the second season is on the way, Solo Leveling certainly has the ability to march past the next season that will drop in 2025. The original story came to an end in 2021, but the franchise released a sequel series in 2023 dubbed Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. Should the anime franchise continue to hold onto its popularity, anime fans are in for years of stories in this brutal world.
