If You Loved Solo Leveling Season 2, Then You Should Know Season 3 Will Be Even Better

Warning: The following contains slight spoilers for Solo Leveling's manhwa!!

While there’s a popular belief that Solo Leveling’s peak is the Jeju Island arc and the story goes down from there, anime viewers are far from witnessing the best parts of the story, where all the mysteries surrounding Jinwoo come together, and the conflict reaches an unimaginable scale. Following the ending of the second season, Solo Leveling fans should be excited about what's to come in the story, as even bigger fights will be featured in the upcoming few arcs.

Although there's currently no information about when Solo Leveling Season 3 will be released, what is certain is that the next installment is going to showcase equally thrilling action to what was seen in the first two seasons of the series. However, there are several reasons why fans should anticipate Solo Leveling Season 3 to be the best installment in the series yet, surpassing viewers' expectations and becoming an even bigger hit.

10 Jinwoo Gains An Immeasurable Power

Solo Leveling’s Story Is All About Jinwoo Becoming Stronger

Jinwoo has limitless potential as a player of the system, and after the events of Solo Leveling Season 2, he could very much become a national-level hunter, as he was capable of clearing an S-rank dungeon. However, Jinwoo still has more strength to gain, as the small introduction to the powers of a National Level Hunter with the cameo of Liu Zhigang proves they are on another level. This proves there are really powerful hunters in other countries that could face Jinwoo, and that he might not be ready to face them just yet.

Jinwoo recently obtained a shadow with a general rank, Beru, surpassing even Igris, who was his strongest soldier since he gained the Shadow Monarch class. Nevertheless, this confirms that even shadow soldiers can keep leveling up, and it's obvious that Jinwoo will also continue to gain more power until reaching the necessary level to face all the upcoming antagonists in Solo Leveling Season 3.

9 Jinwoo Will Finally Find Out That His Father Is Alive

Jinwoo Will Keep Protecting His Family

Despite already fulfilling his goal of curing his mother, this doesn’t mean that Jinwoo’s family is free from all danger. Solo Leveling’s world has proved to be unstable with gates and magic beasts appearing in unexpected places which will put in danger even Jinwoo’s family in Season 3. Furthermore, Jinwoo’s family isn’t complete, as they don’t know yet the whereabouts of Sung Il-Hwan.

Even though he was last seen following the mysterious Monarchs that appeared on Jeju Island, Sung Il-Hwan’s information is only known so far by America’s Federal Bureau. However, fans should anticipate that his existence as someone who survived a decade inside a dungeon will be known by the world. Jinwoo will find out at the International Conference Arc that his father is alive, bringing questions about his intentions but also creating expectations for a reunion.

8 Beru Is One Of The Funniest Characters In The Series

From A Ferocius Enemy Beru Becomes the Greatest Ally

Beru is a fan-favorite character of Solo Leveling’s manhwa readers, not only due to his proven strength but also because of his marked and fun personality. Beru’s introduction brings a change to Jinwoo’s army, as he is the first and only shadow soldier so far capable of speaking. Moreover, Beru has an undying sense of loyalty to Jinwoo, which ties in with his nature as an ant. Ants' purpose in life is to serve their queen, and this loyalty mixed with that of a shadow soldier makes Beru excessively devoted to Jinwoo in a funny way.

Beru has a keen interest in Korean history, much like the S-rank healer Min Byung-Gu.

Beru creates amusing situations with his adoration for Jinwoo and his preference for Korean historical dramas, which he uses as an example of conduct and tries to emulate their behavior and way of speaking. Likewise, Beru has many epic quotes in Solo Leveling and hilarious moments, like calling Jinwoo his liege, kneeling in front of him for forgiveness, and scolding other ants.

7 Jinwoo Will Go to Rescue a Japan in Crisis

Politics Keeps Playing a Major Role in Solo Leveling

The conspiracy of Japan's government to weaken Korea was a big part of the Jeju Island Arc. However, this backfired, and Japan was the one who ended up losing most of their S-Rank Hunters, including the strongest one, Ryuji Goto. This will continue to be developed in the upcoming season, as one of the important characters teased at the end of Solo Leveling Season 2 was Matsumoto Shigeo, the chairman of the Japanese Hunter Association.

10 Things Solo Leveling Season 3 Has Everybody Looking Forward To

Solo Leveling season 3 will be bigger than anything seen so far, and these 10 moments should keep fans' anticipation high ahead of its release.

Without enough S-rank hunters, Japan has become vulnerable and incapable of handling high-ranked gates on their own, which means they will need to request the help of other countries. Because of this, as the Jeju Gate is just the beginning of more S-Rank gates appearing in the world, Jinwoo will come to Japan's aid, building up the imminent danger that is rising in the world.

6 Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae In Will Interact More

Fans Looking For Romance Will Have Plenty to Look Forward to in Solo Leveling Season 3

In the first two seasons of Solo Leveling, Cha Hae In hasn't interacted as much with Jinwoo, despite showing a clear interest in him as the only hunter who doesn’t have a foul smell to her. But luckily, she not only proves she is stronger than what viewers have seen so far, but Cha Hae In and Jinwoo will have more opportunities to bond once Solo Leveling Season 3 releases.

Jinwoo saved Cha Hae In's life, and it was teased in the Solo Leveling Season 2 finale that she wants to be powerful like him, hinting that she will strive to learn more about the source of his strength and who he is. That means that even if a common criticism in the series is the lack of focus on secondary characters, in the upcoming few arcs Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae In’s relationship will be further explored, bringing more romance to Solo Leveling’s story.

5 Jinwoo Will Prove His Friendship With Jinho

Jinho’s Father Suffers from the Same Illness as Jinwoo’s Mother

Solo Leveling Season 3 will pick up the story with Jinwoo starting to create his new guild, along with his friend and vice guildmaster Jinho. While this promised some brotherly bonding between them as they settled in, it is revealed in Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode #7, that Jinho’s father is currently suffering the early effects of the Eternal Slumber, which is the same disease that put Jinwoo’s mother in a long coma.

This way, fans could anticipate that an upcoming Solo Leveling Season 3 will delve into how this will affect Jinho and if there is a way that Jinwoo could help him. Additionally, Jinho was also present in the raid where Jinwoo killed Hwang Dongsoo's brother. So,given how the Korean S-Rank hunter located in America doesn’t care about others, Jinho would most likely be involved when Dongsoo tries to take his revenge. This could not only showcase an enraged Jinwoo but also how much Jinho means to him.

3 Solo Leveling Season 3 Will Feature the Truth About the War and The Shadow Monarch’s Power

Jinwoo Isn't the First Shadow Monarch

Jinwoo gained the Shadow Monarch class in the Job Change Arc in Solo Leveling Season 1. However, another monarch is revealed in Solo Leveling Season 2 as Jinwoo fights Baran, the Monarch of White Flames, who is the final boss in the Demon Castle. The Return to the Demon Castle Arc brings several questions to viewers as Esil Radiru reveals the demon clans had to fight in a war against a powerful enemy before being stopped by the system for sharing too much information.

Furthermore, just as Jinwoo is leaving the S-rank instant dungeon, there is a system notification stating that the Demon Castle "will return to its original state." This way, as Jinwoo is set to return to the Double Dungeon to find out the truth about the System in Solo Leveling Season 3 he will get access to see what happened in the war and the origin of his powers as the Shadow Monarch.

2 The Monarchs Will Start Executing Their Plan

New Threats and Powerful Enemies

The most intriguing mystery introduced in Solo Leveling Season 2 is the beings appearing in the aftermath of the Jeju Island raid. They are called Monarch of Fangs and Monarch of Frost, and while their motivations remain unknown to anime viewers, they signal that the balance of the world has been shattered, as this is the first time in Solo Leveling's story that beasts appear outside the gates without a dungeon break. Moreover, these beings can talk and casually open gates, which hints that a real threat has just begun.

Additionally, the Monarchs seem to be following a plan, tracking to the cave the powers of someone important, who is most likely Jinwoo. Furthermore, they are connected to Jinwoo's father, who keeps a close surveillance on them, confirming they are the danger to the world that he tried to warn Hwan Dongsoo about in episode 4 of Solo Leveling Season 2, and they will begin to take action in an upcoming season.

1 Solo Leveling Season 3 Will Finally Uncover the Mystery Behind the System

A Great Conspiracy Hangs Over Jinwoo and His Selection as a Player

Jinwoo was chosen at the beginning of the series to be a player of a game-like system that forces him to keep leveling up, and so far in the story, there have been several hints about the nature of these mysterious powers. With unexpected glitches censoring the dungeon bosses sharing too much information and an excessive interest in preserving Jinwoo’s life by having him eliminate any threat to his well-being, the system has seemingly pointed out to be more than a simple excuse to make Jinwoo stronger, but a much larger conspiracy related to the gates in the world.

This way, as Solo Leveling Season 2 hides an Easter egg in its final episode about the return to the Double Dungeon where it all begins, fans should expect that the next installment will finally present the truth behind the Architect of the System and his confrontation with Jinwoo.
