Many memorable moments have taken place throughout the second season of the anime Solo Leveling, from the beginning until the final episode was released.
Below are some of the most outstanding moments in the anime Solo Leveling season 2:
6. The First Encounter Between Jin-Woo and Cha Hae-In
The incident occurs when Jin-Woo is inspecting a hidden room in a dungeon. At first, he intends to finish off the monster lurking inside. However, his reasoning suggests that this action might cause trouble for others because they are currently in the dungeon.
At that moment, Jin-Woo encounters Cha Hae-In, who is on a patrol. He immediately feels attracted to her due to the monster’s attention. However, as Jin-Woo passes by, Cha Hae-In notices that this young man does not have a scent like most hunters. In fact, the odor coming from him is quite different from that of other men.
This encounter could be the foundation for the relationship between the main male and female protagonists.
5. The Battle Between Jin-Woo and Kargalgan
The incident occurs when Jin-Woo is doing a hunt. Since Son Kihoon’s group cannot defeat the High Orc, Jin-Woo decides to join the battle against the monsters, including Kargalgan and the dark army of the dungeon’s master. The fight continues until the battle reaches its climax between Jin-Woo and the leader of the dark army and the High Orc king. Eventually, Kargalgan is killed brutally at the hands of his own soldiers who have been turned into dark warriors.
What is interesting is that there are many scenes that are not present in the manhwa, especially when Kargalgan utilizes all his magical powers to attack Jin-Woo. This fight showcases Jin-Woo’s incredible skills.
4. Jin-Woo’s Promotion to Rank S
After defeating the High Orc, Jin-Woo finally goes through an evaluation process to rank S with a different process. This time, he must prove his unique abilities before Go Gunhee and the evaluators of the association.
Initially, Jin-Woo only creates a ball of energy. However, Go Gunhee exerts pressure because he knows the boy’s abilities are not ordinary. Jin-Woo has no other choice but to demonstrate his full potential, revealing that he is no longer an E-rank hunter. Everyone present is astounded by the revelation of his true strength.
Unfortunately, just as he is about to leave, news of his promotion to rank S spreads as news outlets report on him. This information rapidly circulates nationwide, making anyone who encounters Jin-Woo aware that this young man is no longer an E-rank hunter.
3. Jin-Woo Faces the Baran King
After acquiring Baran’s blood as the final component, Jin-Woo finally transforms it into a potion combined with two other components, creating a healing potion for his mother. Here, Jin-Woo must battle fiercely to reclaim the territory, aiming to gain the final portion for his mother’s recovery.
However, Baran is extremely powerful. Although Jin-Woo has grown significantly since the battle in the High Orc dungeon, he is still overwhelmed when confronted with Baran’s star-level abilities. Jin-Woo nearly loses to Baran if Esil does not immediately attack to divert Baran’s attention. At that moment, Jin-Woo focuses all his strength on the abilities of the Shadow Monarch to take down both of Baran’s arms.
Baran does not give up easily and even tries to strike Jin-Woo with a powerful attack. This moment is when he fully utilizes his magical powers to devastate Jin-Woo.
2. Jin-Woo’s Mother Awakens
After gaining Baran’s blood as the final component, Jin-Woo finally creates a potion that combines with two other components, forming a healing potion for his mother. This moment signifies Jin-Woo’s long-cherished aspiration as he finally opens his eyes after a long period of being unconscious.
Seeing the surroundings, Jin-Woo cannot contain his tears, feeling grateful to his mother for the support she has given him up to now. This moment marks the culmination of his arduous journey, showcasing his innate abilities that still exist, even though he has become the Shadow Monarch.
1. Jin-Woo Battles the Ant King
In the beginning, Jin-Woo does not participate in the raid on Jeju Island as he focuses on taking care of his mother, who has just regained consciousness. However, realizing the situation in the dungeon is dire, he decides to enter the dungeon to assist the hunters trapped in the fight against the Ant King. Jin-Woo must face the Ant King, who has been slaughtering many hunters on the S-rank dungeon on Jeju Island.
The battle in the anime version is quite intense as Jin-Woo is caught off guard by the Ant King’s attacks and magical abilities. He nearly loses consciousness if the situation does not call for him to promptly unleash his skills.
Moreover, what adds to the suspense is that this moment occurs during a live broadcast, allowing everyone to witness Jin-Woo’s actions in real-time. As a result, the nation’s focus is entirely on Jin-Woo, particularly after the success of the raid.
