Solo Leveling Season 2 Is Setting High Standards For The Jeju Island Arc

Season 2 of Solo Leveling has so far been spectacular in terms of animation quality and fight sequences. Of course, there’s some negativity out there since the anime series has cut some conversational bits from the manhwa series. However, that hasn’t been much of a problem for the fandom because the quality hasn’t been compromised (so far), and we are still getting all the crucial story beats.

Each episode of the ongoing season has been a hit, especially the Hunters Guild Arc that featured Jinwoo clearing out an A-Rank Gate on his own. Of course, things will get even more intense (and entertaining for us) in the Return to Demon Castle Arc, but fans are especially excited about Jeju Island Arc. Seeing how the studio has done an astonishing job with the anime so far, it’s safe to say that Jeju Island Arc will be nothing short of spectacular.

Solo Leveling Season 2 promises epic arcs, jaw-dropping animation, and the growth of Sung Jinwoo as the strongest hunter.

WARNING: This post contains minor SPOILERS from the Solo Leveling Manhwa series.

Jeju Island Is The Most Anticipated Arc Of Solo Leveling Season 2

The Second Season Will Break The Internet With Jeju Island Arc

Compared to the first season, Season 2 of Solo Leveling has been more action-heavy. From the very beginning of Season 2, we’ve seen Jinwoo going from one powerful enemy to another, and well, that’s what fans wanted to witness. We only got a brief break from all the action during the Re-testing arc, but it only lasted for a single episode. The anticipation for the next episode’s release only increases among fans because everyone knows that the upcoming episode will feature Jinwoo going against another powerful enemy.

While the anime-only fans might be surprised by the non-stop action rhythms, fans who’ve read the manhwa know exactly what the next episode will have in store for them, and they just can’t wait to see the next story beat getting animated. That being said, any of it wouldn’t have mattered if the animation in Season 2 wasn’t great so far.

Initially, some fans had second thoughts when A-1 Pictures took the mantle to animate Solo Leveling; however, so far, the studio has only surprised us with spectacular animation. The fights that we saw in the second season have not only impressed us but also made us enthusiastic to witness the brilliance of Jeju Island Arc on our screens. Honestly, at this point, everyone would be furious if they didn’t see Jeju Island Arc being animated in Season 2. Fortunately, the series has been following an incredibly fast pace, so we won’t have to wait until Season 3 to see Jeju Island Arc.

Jeju Island is one of the best story arcs of the Solo Leveling Manhwa, as it features Jinwoo going against Beru, the Ant King. The events on Jeju Island have haunted S-Rank Hunters for years, and we can’t wait to see Jinwoo coming out as a National Hero after eliminating this threat. A-1 Pictures has made it evidently clear that they aren’t messing around with the action sequences because that’s the major selling point of Solo Leveling. The studio impressed us with the Red Gate Arc, and after only a couple of episodes, they outdid themselves by giving us a spectacular fight between Jinwoo and the High Orcs Boss. Honestly, Season 2 of the anime series has raised the bar for Jeju Island Arc, and now, everyone expects the series to break the internet during the final episodes.

Solo Leveling Fans Expect Great Things From Jeju Island Arc

It Could Be The Best Arc In The Anime Series So Far

Jinwoo has significantly leveled up in the series, and he has come a long way from being an E-Rank Hunter. We have certainly enjoyed seeing him humiliating powerful monsters like Baruka and Kargalgan; however, it’s also a fact that Jinwoo still hasn’t faced any continental-level threat. Well, Jeju Island does feature an enemy that holds the power to destroy an entire continent. Forget the Ant King; regular Ants from Beru’s army have pushed back S-Rank Hunters from the island. The existing S-Rank Hunters in Korea aren’t strong enough to face Beru, but fortunately, they have Sung Jinwoo by their side.

So far, every enemy that Jinwoo has faced has been part of some Dungeon, but it’s different with Beru, the Ant King. Beru’s army instantly took over an entire island, and the only reason why people in Korea stayed safe for this long was because these Ants couldn’t fly out of the island. That’s not going to last forever, though, because these Ants are quickly evolving and are starting to fly out of the island. Fortunately, Jinwoo gets incredibly powerful by the time he reaches Jeju Island.

Jinwoo showcased a new Skill during his confrontation with the High Orc, Kargalgan, one that augments the baseline combat stats of his Shadow Army.

It would be incredibly fun to see some of the strongest S-Rank Hunters taking a backseat while Jinwoo displays his incredible strength against Beru. While his Shadow Army will take care of the countless Ants, Jinwoo will humiliate Beru in every way possible. Honestly, it was the Jeju Island Arc that made the Solo Leveling manhwa popular among worldwide fans, and if all goes well, it will be Jeju Island that will take the anime adaptation to new heights as well.
