2025 has been off to a great start because of the release of the second season of theSolo Levelinganime series titled “Solo Leveling – Arise From The Shadows.” The first episode saw its release on July 21, 2025, and fans have been eagerly waiting for the second episode to see the further development of the narrative focusing on Sung Jinwoo and his journey as a hunter.
One of the most intriguing aspects ofSolo Levelingseason 2 is the new opening and ending themes that the series has received this year. The opening theme song is called Reawaker, which is performed by Lisa (feat. Felix of Stray Kids), and the ending theme song is called Un-Apex, performed by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure.
Many prominent anime series are known for hiding clues and hints within the opening and ending themes to make them interesting, and that is exactly what the second season ofSolo Levelingdid. The ending theme ofSolo Levelingseason 2 has hinted at the most formidable ally of Sung Jinwoo, who is most likely going to enter the series in the third season. This ally is none other than Ashborn, the King of the Dead and the original Monarch of Shadows.
The ending theme ofSolo Levelingseason 2
Solo Levelingis deemed as one of the most popular manhwa series of all time. Thus, when the anime adaptation of the manhwa was announced back in 2022, fans were quite excited to see it get released. In fact, the anime series was titled the most anticipated anime series of 2024, and it surely lived up to the expectations. It became so popular that A-1 Pictures had to announce the second season just after its first one.

The second seasonfurther explores the adventures of Sung Jinwoo through the dungeons as he levels up and continues his journey to become the strongest hunter in theSolo Levelingworld.
This time, the anime has put a special focus on the theme songs of the series, particularly the ending theme song, which is produced by Japanese musician and singer-songwriter Toru Kitajima, also known as TK.
The ending theme song shows two different Sung Jinwoo from two different moments of the story. The first one is the shy and timid Jinwoo, who was first introduced within theSolo Levelingnarrative, and the second one is the powerful Jinwoo, who leveled up after gaining the System. Both of them meet each other in the end, hinting at the development Jinwoo has since the series started.
The biggest easter egg inSolo Leveling’sseason 2 ending theme
Although the ending theme is slowly getting popular for its catchy tune, fans fail to realize that it also has an easter egg that no one seems to notice. This easter egg is regarding one of the most significant characters in the series who is going to make an appearance probably in the third season. This character is Ashborn, who chose Jinwoo to be his host.
He is the main reason why Jinwoo was able to become so powerful and essentially save the world. However, he doesn’t make an appearance until much later.
