The anime-manhwa adaptation ranks among the biggest hits of the Winter 2024 anime season and has achieved lofty status with a massive following within anime and isekai fandoms.
Following Season 1’s immense success, the season finale left fans unsatisfied and craving more. While the manhwa has reached incredible heights and the anime is making its mark, many manhwa readers are praising the anime’s narrative direction and its effective foreshadowing of the upcoming major arc, the Jeju Island Arc.
WhySolo Leveling‘s Shift from the Manhwa Style Was a Smart Move
Owing to manhwa’s immense popularity,SLanime instantly took the entire internet by storm. Produced by A-1 Pictures, the anime adaptation started off a bit slow, but the action sequences made up for it. With anticipation rising for Season 2, manhwa fans are curious if the sequel will feature the fan-favorite Jeju Island Arc.
Interestingly, the production studio is receiving a lot of applause from the manhwa for laying the groundwork for the Jeju Island Arc with the anime opening scene. Episode #1 sets the stage for the highly anticipated Jeju Island Arc, with a flashback to the third Jeju Island Raid in the episode’s opening scenes.

Though it’s a notable deviation from the manhwa, the Jeju Raid scene effectively establishes the looming threat while also serving as an introduction toSolo Leveling‘s unique world. The Jeju Island Arc is undoubtedly one of the best arcs inSolo Leveling.
Not only does the arc feature plenty of exciting action, but it also marks a turning point in Jinwoo’s journey as he single-handedly wipes out the island, earning himrecognition as a national hero.
The main highlight of the arc is, of course, Jinwoo’s battle against Beru, the Ant King, who eventually grows to become quite a fan-favorite.
In Season 1’s final episode, the S-rank Hunters prepare to reattempt the invasion of Jeju Island, setting up the highly anticipated fan-favorite arc perfectly.

Anime viewers may find the frequent foreshadowing of Jeju Island a bit overdone, but manhwa fans appreciate the anime’s shift from the manhwa’s original approach, setting up crucial groundwork for the big event.
Fortunately, even if the anime series is unable to cover the Jeju Island Arc, there is still the possibility of the arc being adapted into a movie instead, allowing for much better animation and an overall epic experience that does the arc justice.
