Solo Leveling Episode 25 (Finale): The Monarchs Arrive as Jeju Island Arc Ends
Season 2 has been a thrilling ride, culminating in Sung Jinwoo’s dominance over the ant swarm and the emergence of Beru in Episode 24. The finale, tentatively titled “On to the Next Target,” will showcase Jinwoo’s climactic battle against the Ant King. Fans are eagerly awaiting the iconic “Arise” moment, where Jinwoo resurrects the Ant King as Beru, a General-rank shadow. This emotional and visually stunning sequence is expected to be one of the highlights of the series.
Cha Hae-In’s Rescue
The episode will also focus on Jinwoo’s desperate bid to save Cha Hae-In, who suffered severe injuries during the raid. After traditional healing methods fail, speculation suggests Jinwoo may use his shadow ability to summon Min Byung-Gyu’s spirit as a healer—a pivotal moment that could add depth to his growing army of shadows.
The Monarchs’ Arrival
The finale is expected to tease major developments for Season 3 with the introduction of the Monarchs. Leaks indicate that the Frost and Beast Monarchs will make their debut in Jeju’s ruins, sensing Ashborn’s power in Jinwoo but leaving without engaging him. This chilling encounter sets up the Chaos Arc and hints at greater challenges awaiting Jinwoo.
Fan Expectations
Fans are hyped for what many are calling the anime event of 2025. Social media platforms like X (#SoloLevelingS2) and Reddit are buzzing with excitement over Beru’s resurrection and the Monarchs’ arrival. A-1 Pictures has been praised for its exceptional animation quality, particularly in depicting Jinwoo’s shadow abilities.
What Comes Next?
While there’s no official confirmation for Season 3 yet, fans speculate that an announcement may come during AnimeJapan 2025 (March 29–30). The Monarchs’ debut and Jinwoo’s resolve to grow stronger post-Jeju Island provide a perfect segue into the next arc.
