It offered a continuous barrage of action, punctuated by multiple intense battle scenes that truly lived up to the hype. Season 2 not only unveiled some of the world’s strongest Hunters, such as Liu Zhigang, but it also delivered the long-awaited confrontation between Jinwoo and the Ant King.

The Jeju Island Arc certainly introduced a formidable adversary, the Ant King, into the fray, making for an entertaining spectacle as Jinwoo effortlessly conquered this hurdle. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that Sung Jinwoo has yet to engage with the most detestable and villainous human hunters in the series, a battle that promises to be one of the pivotal moments in Season 3 of “Solo Leveling.

Hwang Dongsoo Will Finally Face Jinwoo In Season 3 Of Solo Leveling

The Duel Will Happen During The International Guild Conference Arc

Hwang Dongsoo is a powerful S-Rank Hunter based in the U.S., known for his excessive pride in his strength. From the outset, Dongsoo appears as a self-centered individual who fights primarily to boost his ego and amass a substantial fortune. The death of his older brother at the hands of Jinwoo left an impact on him, but the primary motivation driving him to kill Jinwoo is for sport. Within mere minutes of their encounter, Sung II-Hwan could sense a chilling presence about Dongsoo. So far, Dongsoo has avoided confronting Jinwoo because he believed that Jinwoo had perished. Additionally, he was put in a hospital bed after being subdued by Jinwoo’s father.

In the midst of our observation, it became evident that Hwang’s attempts on II-Hwan were fruitless, leaving no trace. Yet, his inflated pride persisted, unwilling to relinquish his pursuit of Jinwoo. Despite this, Jinwoo garnered global acclaim while Hwang lay recuperating in a hospital bed. Even Thomas Andre, a formidable Hunter from America, urged Hwang to abandon this obsession and allow Jinwoo some respite. Nevertheless, as anticipated, Hwang chose to inflict harm on Jinwoo. Recognizing that a direct confrontation with Jinwoo would be unwise, he instead decided to abduct and murder Jinho, timing his move perfectly as Jinwoo was attending the International Guild Conference.

Stay away from Korea; I’m not warning this for my son, but for you. Your soul will never find peace, even after death – Sung Il-Hwan to Hwang Dongsoo”

This version maintains the original meaning and tone while making it more accessible to a broader audience. The use of the phrase “soul will never find peace” instead of “rest in peace” may provide clarity for those unfamiliar with the idiomatic expression.

In the storyline of “Solo Leveling,” fans might yearn for Jinwoo’s timely intervention when they see how Hwang mistreats Jinho. Recall how Jinwoo swooped in just in time to protect the S-Rank Hunters during the Jeju Island Arc? The upcoming season 3 promises a similar thrill, as Jinwoo employs Shadow Exchange to swiftly appear at the scene where Jinho is being held captive by Hwang.

Jinwoo Defeating His Most Sinful Enemy Would Be A Satisfying Moment For Fans

Hwang Will Meet A Satisfying End

In a brief yet intensely gratifying battle, it’s clear that Jinwoo is taking on one of the most detested characters in Solo Leveling, Hwang. The loathing for Hwang will escalate as he subjects Jinho to torture. Fans are eagerly anticipating seeing Hwang suffer at the hands of Jinwoo, and their wishes will be fulfilled. Despite the significant power disparity, Hwang, with murderous intent, will rush towards Jinwoo. As predicted, Jinwoo skillfully dodges each attack, ultimately leaving Hwang helpless on the ground.

In the upcoming Season 3 of Solo Leveling, both Thomas Andre and Hwang are expected to make an appearance. However, despite Thomas’s valiant effort to aid Hwang, he will ultimately fail as Jinwoo is destined to overpower him. Consequently, this season promises not only the highly anticipated clash between Hwang and Jinwoo, but also a showdown between Thomas Andre and the Shadow Monarch. While the battle with Thomas is certain to be thrilling, the most poignant moment will undeniably be when Hwang experiences his tragic end at the hands of Jinwoo.

In the storyline, Hwang pursues Jinwoo in order to avenge his deceased brother, but ultimately meets the same fate at Jinwoo’s hands. What’s more, Hwang subsequently becomes part of Jinwoo’s military force as a covert operative. In the comic book, Jinwoo dubs Hwang’s shadow “Greed”, which is fitting considering it was Hwang’s lust for wealth and influence that led him to forsake his nation. It remains intriguing to speculate whether the animated adaptation will retain this name for Hwang’s Shadow or introduce a new one, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the outcome.
