What can we expect from Season 1?
Summary:
- Solo Leveling Season 1 is officially listed for 12 episodes.
- There’s a rumor that the season will have two cours.
- There are several hints at that.
All the official sources state that the Solo Leveling (Ore dake Level Up na Ken) anime adaptation is listed for 12 episodes, which means we might be approaching the end of the first season.
However, if you’ve been watching the series each week just like us, this information might puzzle you, since it doesn’t feel like we’re getting close to the season finale. That’s why fans are naturally curious whether the 12-episode information can be trusted. Is there going to be a second cour after all?
Season 1 is rumored to have two cours
Manhwa readers seem to be especially confident that the first season of Solo Leveling will not end on Episode 12. There’s still so much to be told, and they think ending the series so early wouldn’t be smart for a number of reasons.
First of all, the anime is doing incredibly well, so viewers naturally want the show to go on. On top of that, Solo Leveling is a type of series that gets better with time, so further parts of the story will intrigue viewers even more, which will increase the popularity of the project.
Can this rumor be trusted?
One of the most famous X (formerly Twitter) anime leakers made some posts about Solo Leveling. First, they said that the Solo Leveling anime was happening even before the official announcement. And several months ago they leaked that the series would have two cours.
This leaker’s information usually turns out to be true, so fans choose to believe that. After all, it would really make a lot of sense for Solo Leveling Season 1 to have two cours.
Moreover, fans have noticed Beru’s character designs in Crunchyroll’s Solo Leveling documentary, and this is a character that appears later in the story, 12 episodes aren’t enough to have Beru introduced.
All of that leads us to believe that Solo Leveling Season 1 will indeed have more than 12 episodes, so the second cour is coming, too. The most common prediction is that it will be announced on March, 30, when Episode 12 airs.
However, fans think that there will have to be some waiting before the second cour premieres. If the studio wanted to have two consecutive cours, they would have announced both of them at the start, which they didn’t do.
That’s why fans think there will be a couple of months after the first cour before the story continues.
