Recap of Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 1
The premiere of Solo Leveling Season 2, titled "You Aren’t E-Rank, Are You?" begins with a lighthearted moment as Jinwoo attends a parent-teacher meeting for his sister, Jinah. During the meeting, Jinwoo is asked to assist Han Song-yi, an E-Rank Hunter and Jinah’s classmate, who left school to pursue life as a Hunter.
Despite some initial misunderstandings, Jinwoo agrees to take Song-yi to a C-Rank Gate for hands-on experience. A-Rank Hunter Kim Chul disapproves, questioning their suitability for such a task. Jinwoo’s goal, however, is to expose Song-yi to the harsh realities of being a Hunter, hoping to discourage her from pursuing the dangerous profession.
Meanwhile, Hwang Dongsoo returns to Korea with the intent of exacting revenge on Jinwoo and Jinho. Cha Hae-in and Gunhee discuss the escalating threat of Jeju Island’s ant monsters, adding tension to the broader narrative.
Inside the Gate, events take a dangerous turn when it transforms into a Red Gate. The group splits, with Kim Chul’s team battling Ice Elves and Jinwoo’s group facing Ice Bears. While Jinwoo levels up and expands his Shadow Army, Kim Chul’s team suffers complete annihilation, leaving him as the only survivor.
Outside, Dongsoo tracks Jinwoo’s location and encounters Yoon-ho. With the Red Gate impassable until cleared, Dongsoo assumes Jinwoo’s survival is impossible.
