Director Shunsuke Nakashige Shares New ‘Solo Leveling’ Art on Season 2’s Premiere Day
The wait is over! Solo Leveling returns with its highly anticipated second season today, January 4th, on Crunchyroll. The premiere has been causing a lot of excitement after the first season turned Jinwoo Sung from the “World’s Worst Hunter” into someone who might just be the strongest hunter alive.
But season two is set to challenge Jinwoo like never before, promising bigger battles and surprises. The anime’s director, Shunsuke Nakashige, is bringing fresh new elements to the show.
Nakashige has experience working on huge series like Sword Art Online and Mother of The Goddess’ Dormitory. His involvement in iconic projects like Chainsaw Man and Sailor Moon Crystal shows he knows his way around high-energy anime. Fans can expect his vision to guide Solo Leveling into a whole new era, full of intense action and intricate world-building.
Before the premiere, we got a special treat by Nakashige, who decided to share a singular piece of art for the upcoming season, which you can check out here:

The Solo Leveling: ReAwakening film, which hit theaters, retold the first season’s story and even included the first two episodes of season two. This film gave us a taste of what’s to come, showing Jinwoo’s new powers, like necromancy, in action.
Season two picks up right where the first left off. In the opening episodes, we see Jinwoo team up with other hunters for a dangerous mission in a Red Gate. Set in a snowy location, this mission tests his new abilities.
Jinwoo’s necromancy skills come into play as he battles dark elves, making the stakes higher than ever. Along the way, Jinwoo also gathers more allies, adding strength to his already growing army.
With the anime’s season two expected to have 12 episodes, it seems there’s plenty more material to cover. The original manhwa has a lot of stories left to adapt, and it’s likely that the show will continue for more seasons, keeping the action rolling.
As the new season kicks off, Solo Leveling fans are in for a wild ride. With more challenges ahead for Jinwoo and new powers on the horizon, there’s no telling how far this story will go. Thanks to Nakashige’s leadership, season two looks to live up to the hype and maybe even exceed it.
