Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 12, set to air in the U.S. on Saturday, March 22, 2025, teases a battle between kings, as the Shadow Monarch Sung Jinwoo takes on the Ant King.

Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 12 (Episode 24) overall, titled “Are You the King of Humans,” has revealed its first official preview images via the anime’s website. The episode continues from the Ant King’s slaughter of the hunters. The title references the Ant King’s question posed to Goto Ryuji, shown to be a false king and even a false ally for his role in weakening Korea through the Fourth Jeju Island Raid. He was quickly killed, and now Jinwoo, after implanting his soldiers in the Korean hunters’ shadows, has arrived at the battle.

Solo Leveling Gears Up for the Anime’s Biggest Fight for Sung Jinwoo

Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 12 is officially described: “Jinwoo rushes to Jeju Island, defeats the swarm of winged ants, and uses potions to heal the wounds of the S-Rank hunters. However, Hae-in is the only one who is unable to recover after sustaining serious injuries that cause her to lose consciousness. Jinwoo and his friends try to escape as quickly as possible, but the ‘black-winged ant’ with its terrible aura once again stands in their way.”

Staff information is yet to be revealed for the Solo Leveling Season 2, Episode 12. By all accounts, the previous episode was among the most fatal for the humans, with the highest named-character death toll of the Solo Leveling anime to date. Despite the hunters’ hardships, the anime itself is enjoying a hot streak; Solo Leveling surpassed One Piece to become the most-rated anime on Crunchyroll. This followed Crunchyroll confirming that Solo Leveling was the most-watched new anime of 2024.

Crunchyroll streams Solo Leveling Season 2 in English subbed and dubbed, describing the series: “They say whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but that’s not the case for the world’s weakest hunter Sung Jinwoo. After being brutally slaughtered by monsters in a high-ranking dungeon, Jinwoo came back with the System, a program only he could see, that’s leveling him up in every way. Now, he’s inspired to discover the secrets behind his powers and the dungeon that spawned them.”
