The new special of “Solo Leveling” of Crunchyroll has sparked an intense conversation after revealing images that strongly hint at an upcoming second season or second arc of the anime. The documentary, titled “The Leveling of Solo Leveling“, has caused a great stir by showing the character Beru, who makes his first appearance in chapter 105 of the “Solo Leveling” manhwa.
With the anime series currently scheduled to stop long before that point, many fans on social media are convinced this is evidence of plans for a second season. Readers can view footage from the documentary below. This is possibly the strongest argument yet in favor of a second season.
The inclusion of Beru’s character sheet is probably also part of the Solo Leveling production team’s approach to “add extra meat to the story“, as the producer commented Sota Furuhashi. While discussing the necessary changes to the manhwa, director Shunsuke Nakashige added: “There were characters that did not appear in the webtoon. They were mentioned in dialogue but didn’t appear in the art, so we’d ask, ‘Well, what are they like?’With Beru’s upcoming major role, the anime team may already be considering the best way to tease his character and incorporate him into the story.
“Solo Leveling” fans had long suspected a continuation of the series, especially due to a leak several months ago. The series was one of the most anticipated anime adaptations, with over 14 billion views for the source material. Comments from the CEO of Netmarble, whose company is the producer of both the “Solo Leveling” video game and anime, raised expectations when he referred to the ongoing series as ‘the first season.’ This suggests there is more to come, further fueling speculation of a second season or continuation of the anime..
