Solo Leveling Season 2 Reaches Its Midpoint, Drawing a Massive Audience
Despite facing tough competition from Netflix’s Sakamoto Days, Solo Leveling Season 2 stands out as one of the top anime series of Winter 2025.
While Season 1 introduced audiences to Sung Jinwoo, the so-called weakest hunter in the world, Season 2 showcases a completely different side of him. As he levels up at an exponential rate, he is now on the verge of becoming an official S-rank hunter. This transformation has left Solo Leveling fans worldwide thrilled, eager for the intense and gripping storylines that lie ahead. With escalating threats surrounding Jinwoo and his allies, the stakes have never been higher.
Solo Leveling’s Popularity Crashes the Internet
It’s not just Sung Jinwoo that’s leveling up—Solo Leveling's fanbase has exploded since A-1 Pictures' anime adaptation debuted in 2024. In fact, the latest episode of Season 2 has "broken" the internet. The episode generated such a massive buzz that it caused widespread server crashes across Crunchyroll, Anilab, and even several pirated streaming sites.
Episode 6 of Solo Leveling Season 2, titled "Don't Look Down on My Guys," features several jaw-dropping moments, including an epic battle between Jinwoo’s Shadow Army and Kargalgan’s High Orc forces inside an A-rank dungeon. Additionally, Cha Hae-In and several lower-ranked hunters witness the true extent of Jinwoo’s power.
According to @todayanimenews on Threads, the latest episode caused major internet disruptions. They posted screenshots of frustrated fans on Twitter/X struggling to watch the new release, with one comment reading, "Damn, Crunchyroll’s servers crashed again—I can’t watch Solo Leveling!" Another fan predicted even bigger problems ahead, writing, "If this keeps happening, Beru’s fight is 100% going to take down Crunchyroll."
Solo Leveling Season 2 Is Moving at Lightning Speed
With Season 2 already halfway through, fans can’t help but notice how quickly each episode flies by. Memes about the episodes feeling too short have been circulating online, capturing the collective sentiment of the fandom.
Season 2 of Solo Leveling will run for 13 episodes. The next episode, Episode 7, titled "The 10th S-Rank Hunter," is set to air on February 15. Its official synopsis reads:
"Jinwoo, who single-handedly cleared one of the highest-ranked A-class dungeons, has now been reevaluated and officially recognized as the tenth S-rank hunter in the country. Ignoring the growing attention on him, he once again sets his sights on conquering the 'Demon Castle.'"
With the series gaining more momentum, fans are eager to see if Solo Leveling can deliver an equally explosive conclusion to Season 2. Stay tuned!
