What Will Happen Next in Solo Leveling?
While Solo Leveling may be new to many anime fans, the series has been long-running, telling its story in the form of a webtoon since 2018.
So, for those itching to know where the show will go next, there are resources out there breaking down the entire nine-volume run.
Fans are expecting Season 1 of the anime to cover at least the 'Job Change' arc of the webtoon, following the show's central hunter Jinwoo as he is tasked with navigating a new instant dungeon where he goes up against a mysterious red knight.
Thus far in the television adaptation, audiences have gotten but a taste of this Solo Leveling arc, introducing the world of hunters, monsters, and dungeons.
Episode 4 saw Jinwoo power up on-screen truly for the first time. This levelling-up teased the potential of the series protagonist, despite him still believing he is the weakest hunter out there.
As the anime goes forward, Season 1 will surely see Jinwoo begin to realize the power and potential he possesses as a hunter, and the 'Job Change' arc Red Knight (along with his army) feels like a great first antagonist to prove that.
No word of a second season has been made public for the Solo Leveling anime yet, but given its popularity so far, it would not be all that surprising if all nine volumes of the source material eventually make it to the screen.
Solo Leveling Episode 5 will be available to stream on Crunchyroll on Saturday, February 3.
