Episode 11 of Solo Leveling’s second season, titled “It’s Going to Get Even More Intense” picked up right where Episode 10 left off, with the Ant King beginning its killing spree.

Right as the episode begins, we see it kill two more Japanese hunters. Before we can even make sense of what is happening, the perspective switches to the Korean hunting team.

The team gradually made their way to the room containing the Queen and her royal guards. As the stakes rise, Byung-gyu uses his skills to buff the team, allowing them to break through their limits.

We get to see Yoonho Baek unleashing his mythical beast form, and ripping through the ants with ease. Pretty soon, the Korean hunting team takes down the queen, with Hunter Cha Hae-In landing the final hit.

While the Korean team is focusing on hunting the Queen, we see that the Queen used her final moments to summon the rest of the ants and the Ant King to her room.

The celebrations don’t last long as the Ant King takes down the entire Korean hunting team, killing Min Byung-gyu. It then heads outside, shifting its focus onto Goto Ryuji, demanding to know if he is the “king” of humans.

The episode ends with the Korean Hunting team being saved by a few Shadow soldiers, and our protagonist Sung Jinwoo using Shadow Exchange to reach Jeju Island.

Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 12: What to expect

Caution: Heavy spoilers for Solo Leveling’s anime and manga.

We predict that Solo Leveling’s Season 2 Episode 12 titled “Are You the King of Humans” will start with Sung Jinwoo being transported to Jeju Island after using the Shadow Exchange skill.

While he heals the Korean hunting team, it will be revealed to us that Ryuji has been killed by the Ant King, and Jinwoo will step up to fight it. As the entire world bears witness to his power, he will face the Ant King, leaving the soldier ants to his army.

We predict that this fight will be concluded by the halfway point, and the rest of the episode will show Jinwoo extracting Byung-gyu’s shadow to help Cha Hae-In, and then extracting the shadow of the Ant King. The episode will then end with him paying respects to Byung-gyu after the raid has been concluded.

This episode, just like every other episode of this season, is sure to be a banger, with the fight between Jinwoo and the Ant King being spectacular, and fans will have the time of their lives watching the legendary face-off.

Solo Leveling is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
