Solo Leveling’s third season is keeping the entire fan base on the edge of their seats. The anime has produced two high-quality seasons, and they were filled with immense fight sequences. The second season of Solo Leveling, in particular, has left a lasting impact on anime fans.
Solo Leveling Season 3 has not been announced yet, but fans are hoping that an official statement will be shared soon. The next installment of the anime will feature several arcs that reveal answers to some of the series’ biggest mysteries.
This post contains spoilers for Solo Leveling.
The Recruitment Arc
Will Introduce Norma Selner
- The arc won’t have too much action
The third season will likely start by covering the remainder of the Recruitment Arc. Solo Leveling Season 2 only adapted a couple of the chapters, so there is some content left to cover. The Recruitment Arc consists of Min Byung-Gyu’s funeral, an S-rank Hunter from Korea who died during the Jeju Island arc.
The Recruitment Arc introduces Norma Selner, who works for the American government. Norma is an upgrader who is capable of improving a Hunter’s power level. She tried to do the same with Jinwoo, but it didn’t work. In fact, Norma Selner was shocked and visibly distraught after trying to peek into Jinwoo’s mind. It’s likely that the remaining chapters will be covered in a single episode.
Ahjin Guild Arc
Sung Jinwoo Officially Forms His Guild

After the conclusion of the Recruitment Arc, fans will get to witness the Ahjin Guild Arc, which is focused on Sung Jinwoo as he tries to form his own guild. The biggest challenge that he faced with the creation of the guild was trying to come up with a suitable name for it. But after some deliberation, he decided to stick with Ahjin. The arc also gave more screen time to Cha Hae-in, who has become a firm fan favorite.
Many fans were unhappy with the way that Cha Hae-in was treated in the Jeju Island arc. She put up an underwhelming performance against Beru, who completely obliterated her. In fact, she was left in a terrible state by Ant King, and she wouldn’t have survived if Jinwoo hadn’t turned Min Byung-Gyu into a Shadow. The Shadow then utilized his power to heal Cha Hae-in. The Ahjin Guild Arc sees Jinwoo help out another guild deal with an A-rank gate. Furthermore, the arc also includes a major incident involving Sung Jinah.
Double Dungeon Arc
Jinwoo Returns To Cartenon Temple

- The arc is dominated by the Architect
The Double Dungeon Arc will arguably be the most important one in the entirety of Season 3. As the name suggests, it is focused on the Double Dungeon, which is the place where Jinwoo’s life changed forever. The hero was chosen by the System to become the Player. As a result, Jinwoo became the only person in the world with infinite potential. He becomes stronger after every battle, and by the end of season 2, he was more powerful than any of the S-rank Hunters. Jinwoo’s second visit to the Double Dungeon will be eventful, as it will allow him to learn more about the System and why he was chosen.
Upon his arrival at Cartenon Temple, Jinwoo met Kandiaru, the Architect of the System, who was behind its creation. Even though Kandiaru knew everything about the System, he didn’t give Jinwoo the answers so easily. The Architect put Jinwoo through a test, which he needed to pass in order to learn the truth. Another noteworthy thing about the arc is that it showed that even someone like Jinwoo needs some luck from time to time. Furthermore, the arc also revealed a brand-new power-up for Sung Jinwoo, with which the hero became even stronger. All these things make the Double Dungeon Arc phenomenal.
Japan Crisis Arc
The Hero Saves Japan From A Major Disaster
- Japan relies on Jinwoo for its survival
Since the length of Season 3 is still a mystery, it is unclear how many arcs the studio is going to fit in. If the new season is longer than the previous ones, fans can expect to see more arcs, including the Japan Crisis Arc. The Japan Crisis Arc is action-packed, and it sees Sung Jinwoo tackle one of the most dangerous gates in human history. In this particular arc, Sung Jinwoo travels to Tokyo, Japan, where an S-rank Gate appears. Under normal circumstances, the country would have been equipped to deal with such a threat, but the Jeju Island Raid left them with little to no S-rank Hunters.
The Japanese government persuaded Yuri Orloff by giving him an exorbitant amount of money. The S-rank Hunter was proud of his barrier skills, so he was confident of stopping the monsters. However, his confidence was shattered by the giants. Things were looking bleak for the people of Japan, but then Jinwoo intervened and took down the monsters. His efforts helped save Japan, and as a result, his fame spread like wildfire. The denizens of Korea knew about him, but soon the entire world learned about Jinwoo. It’s highly likely that the Japan Crisis Arc will be the last arc that A-1 Pictures adapts into the third seasonn.
