Will Solo Leveling Season 2 Cover Jeju Island Arc?

In winter of 2025, the eagerly awaited anime sequel, “Solo Leveling Season 2: Emergence from Shadows“, had an explosive premiere that surpassed the record set by its predecessor. The first season culminated with Jinwoo acquiring Necromancer abilities and control over the deceased. The second season’s debut episode initiates the Red Gate Arc, where a seemingly straightforward C-Rank gate takes an unexpected turn as it glows red. Hunters ventured into the mission under the assumption that it would be effortless due to their eligibility for a C-Rank gate.

In contrast, they find themselves in a snowy environment surrounded by monsters far more powerful than them, a stark contrast that suggests their weakness against these foes. The inaugural episode of Season 2 concludes with the gruesome annihilation of Kim Chul’s squad. These mysterious monsters are adept at navigating the snowy terrain and effortlessly dispatch several hunters. At this point, Jinwoo is still learning to control his Necromancer abilities effectively. After witnessing Igris battle, Jinwoo recognizes that he has a long road ahead as the shadow may still be stronger than him currently. However, the number of arcs that Season 2 will encompass remains undetermined.

Solo Leveling Season 2 Won’t Cover Jeju Island Arc

Season 2 of “Solo Leveling” is expected to have 13 episodes, which suggests it won’t include the Jeju Island Arc as of now. Although some fans speculate that Season 2 might adapt this arc, there’s no official confirmation yet. The first season covered 45 chapters from the manhwa (comic) in its 12 episodes, ending with the Job Change Arc. Therefore, it’s expected that Season 2 will focus on the Red Gate, Demon Castle, Retesting Rank, Hunters Guild Gate, and Return to the Demon Castle Arcs. The Jeju Island Arc starts from Chapter 90, so there’s a chance the anime might set up the arc in the finale and continue with the main events in Season 3.

In contrast to the manhwa, the anime adaptation of Solo Leveling kicks off on Jeju Island, demonstrating the significance of this storyline. Spanning 18 chapters, it’s the longest arc prior to the epilogue. This arc is not only harrowing but also reinforces Jinwoo’s position as the strongest character. Although fans might need to be patient for the Jeju Island Arc, the second season appears enticing with the lineup of arcs. The Red Gate Arc promises plenty of action and an escalation in brutality as formidable adversaries emerge.

In “The Demon Castle Arc,” we join protagonist Jinwoo as he navigates a high-level dungeon constructed by the System, in search of a cure for his ailing mother. The trail to this vital clue turns out to be trickier than expected. Catch the latest episodes every Saturday, streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll!
