Crunchyroll, in collaboration with Aniplex, has announced that Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- will officially premiere on January 4, 2025, only on Crunchyroll.
This news was shared alongside the release of the main trailer, giving fans a look at new footage from the upcoming second season. The trailer also debuts the ending theme song, “UN-APEX” performed by TK (best known for Tokyo Ghoul’s “Unravel”), promising another emotional and powerful musical centerpiece for the series.
Adapted from the best-selling Korean web novel written by Chugong, Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo, the world’s weakest hunter. After being brutally slaughtered by monsters in a high-ranking dungeon, Jinwoo came back with the System, a program only he could see, that’s leveling him up in every way. Now, he’s inspired to discover the secrets behind his powers and the dungeon that spawned them.
-Arise From the Shadow- Synopsis: It’s been over 10 years since gates that lead to another dimension have begun appearing across the world. The battles between the magic beasts inhabiting the dungeons through the gates and the human hunters who have awakened the abilities to fight them show no signs of ending. Ordinarily, a hunter’s abilities do not change upon awakening, with their rank never increasing. However, the low-ranked Sung Jinwoo, known as “The Weakest Hunter of All Mankind,” gained the ability to level up through battle during a raid on a double dungeon.
Having completed a job-change quest that earned him the job “Shadow Monarch” and command over an army of shadows, Jinwoo heads into battle seeking the ingredients for the Elixir of Life to save his sick mother.
The anime series is animated by A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online) and directed by Shunsuke Nakashige (Sword Art Online Alicization War of Underworld).
The first season of Solo Leveling is available to stream exclusively on Crunchyroll.com.
