Solo Leveling became one of the biggest anime hits of the decade by turning the weakest hunter into an unstoppable force. Between its seasons and a recap movie, here is the order to follow Sung Jinwoo's rise.
Adapted from the hugely popular Korean web novel and webtoon, Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo, an E-rank hunter who gains a mysterious System after nearly dying in a double dungeon. A-1 Pictures' anime premiered in January 2024 to massive global acclaim, followed by a compilation film that teased the next arc and a second season, Arise from the Shadow, in 2025.
๐ Release Order
Release order is short and simple, making it easy to jump in.
- Solo Leveling Season 1 (2024)
- Solo Leveling -ReAwakening- (2024)
- Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- (2025)
ReAwakening is a theatrical recap of Season 1 that also premiered the first episodes of Season 2, so it acts as a bridge between the two seasons.
๐ Story Chronology
In story chronology, Season 1 covers Jinwoo's awakening and Job Change quest, ReAwakening retells those events, and Season 2 continues with the Red Gate and Jeju Island arcs.
- Solo Leveling Season 1 (2024)
- Solo Leveling -ReAwakening- (2024)
- Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- (2025)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Most viewers should simply watch Season 1 and then Season 2, treating ReAwakening as an optional theatrical rewatch. If you have already seen Season 1, the film is a fun way to experience its biggest fights on the big screen, but it adds little new story beyond the early Season 2 episodes. Once you are caught up, consider reading the webtoon or checking out other action hits like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.
