Summary

Season 3 of Solo Leveling might adapt around 50 chapters, focusing on Recruitment, DD, Japan Crisis, and International Guild Conference arcs.
Sung Jinwoo gains international attention, meets System creator, saves Japan, and faces ancient monsters in upcoming arcs.
Solo Leveling maintains the manhwa’s storylines and key moments, promising exciting developments and confrontations in Season 3.

So far, the animated adaptation of “Solo Leveling” has tackled 107 comic book chapters, spanning the first two seasons, all the way up to the arc on Jeju Island. Given that there have been a total of 25 episodes, this means the story moves at a fairly swift pace, with each episode generally covering around 4 chapters. Despite some minor adjustments here and there, the anime has largely stayed true to the original comic, keeping most key plot points, significant battle scenes, and character growth intact.

Given the success of the earlier seasons and the positive response they’ve received, it seems unlikely that the creators will stray too far from the original story in the upcoming season of Solo Leveling. Assuming the series continues with its usual format of around 12-13 episodes per season, we might expect the third season to cover roughly 50 chapters of the manhwa. Here’s a general idea of what you could anticipate from Solo Leveling season 3.

Recruitment Arc & Ahjin Guild Arc

Jinwoo Draws International Attention

Webtoon: Chapters 111 to 122

Witnessing the unsuccessful attempt by the Jeju Island raid party and the valiant actions of Sung Jinwoo, it’s clear that Korea’s global image is poised for a significant transformation. Given that the Jeju Island S-rank gate was merely the second of its kind to be conquered in human history, and this historic event was broadcast live to spectators globally, Jinwoo’s accomplishments are bound to capture the interest of some of the most influential figures, eager to secure his allegiance.

Initially, a shadowy realm dwelled within your being… Now, you embody that very darkness. (Norma Selnar to Sung Jinwoo)

Unaware of these events unfolding, Sung is preparing to establish his own guild, a feat made possible by his extraordinary powers that surpass all expectations. With such a talented individual at its helm, it’s likely that this new guild will outshine every other established guild in Korea. There may be intriguing individuals who seek to join Sung’s team. The future remains uncertain as to which path Jinwoo will choose for his guild and the people he will allow to follow him on this journey.

Double Dungeon Arc

Jinwoo Meets the Creator of the System

Webtoon: Chapters 123 to 131

Since Jinwoo regained consciousness at the hospital post-Double Dungeon incident, a mystical software called the System has been dogging his steps. Its purpose seems clear yet elusive, and Sung has found it challenging to unravel its mysteries up until now. However, aware that the System aims to manipulate him, Jinwoo has cleverly configured it in a way that serves his interests as well.

I represent your challenges, your resistance, and the results of your suffering; I symbolize death, tranquility, and terror.

In the Double Dungeon storyline, Jinwoo re-enters the enigmatic dungeon from where his journey began, this time to challenge the System’s creator and reveal its hidden intent. This monumental showdown will not only shed light on the puzzling software for Sung but also reshape his perspective of the world he lives in and his anticipated role within it.

Japan Crisis Arc

Jinwoo Rushes to Japan’s Rescue

Webtoon: Chapters 132 to 139

During the Jeju Island raid storyline, Japan suffered the loss of several top-tier hunters, including their valuable asset, Goto Ryuji. Previously recognized as one of Asia’s strongest hunter nations, Japan has since become a regional power with minimal impact. Consequently, when an S-rank gate materializes over Tokyo, this East Asian island nation will face an unprecedented crisis that challenges its very existence.

In Japan, the highest-ranked hunters are found wanting in terms of capability and readiness when faced with a crisis as massive as this one. Consequently, the Japanese government might need to seek aid from external sources that could potentially save them. Russia’s Yuri Orloff will likely seize this opportunity since his skill in barrier magic makes him an excellent fit for Japan’s predicament. Nevertheless, when Tokyo experiences a catastrophic dungeon break, Sung Jinwoo promptly abandons everything to race towards the epicenter. However, the monsters pouring out of the gate are entirely new and unprecedented, leaving many to question whether Jinwoo’s abilities will prove sufficient to reverse the situation.

International Guild Conference Arc

Jinwoo Heads to America

Webtoon: Chapters 140 to 149

Once Sung Jinwoo becomes recognized as Asia’s top-notch hunter due to his remarkable accomplishments, he will receive an invitation to attend his country’s representation at the International Guild Conference, a prestigious event organized by the Federal Bureau of Hunters. This gathering brings together some of the world’s finest hunters, with no one aware of the impending global crisis that is on the horizon.

Answer me, Sun Jinwoo, did you kill my brother and his teammates?

In a turn of events, Sung Jinwoo’s longstanding adversary intends to exploit this situation for revenge by devising a complex plot. However, this malicious strategy will escalate into a dangerous conflict that imperils the lives of bystanders who unfortunately find themselves amidst the ensuing turmoil.

Not only does this situation worsen, a long-lost race of monstrous beings is set to intervene and alter the world. Unbeknownst to many, influential individuals become their unwitting victims, marking only the start of their ambitious schemes. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance, pushing Sung Jinwoo into direct confrontation with these powerful entities, a battle that must be fought urgently to save humanity.
