Solo Leveling Episode 14 Will Showcase Jinwoo vs Baruka

Solo Leveling Season 2 is finally here, and the first episode didn’t disappoint at all. The Red Gate Arc has officially started.

Solo Leveling Episode 13 covered chapters 46 to halfway through chapter 51. We already knew from the Reawakening movie, which came out on December 6 in Japan and Korea, how many chapters the first two episodes would adapt.

Red Gate Arc

To expose an E-Rank newbie hunter who is apparently Jinwoo’s sister’s friend, Jinwoo decides to show her just how dangerous hunting can be.

She has been super focused on leaving school to go into the dungeons, something Sung Jinah’s teacher told him about.

Jinwoo Entering the Gate.

To make his point, Jinwoo asks Ahn and gets both of them spots in a White Tiger Guild training session for new recruits. It turns out to be a 10-person raid meant for training.

But as soon as they step in, things take a dark turn, the gate turns into a Red Gate. Unlike normal gates, a Red Gate locks its entrance as soon as someone enters.

Hunters get trapped inside, and no one from the outside can come in. The only way out is to defeat the dungeon’s boss. And the lowest difficulty level for a Red Gate? B-Rank.

Sung Jin=woo and the other 9 participants were teleported to an icy landscape dungeon after entering the gate and one member was killed instantly by the Ice Elves.

Long story short, Sung Jin-woo has already taken down the bears and their leader in the new episode, but he is still stuck in the Red Gate.

To get out, he has to defeat the dungeon boss, Baruka. In this article, we will talk about everything going on in this dungeon.

Spoilers Ahead

What To Expect From Solo Leveling Episode 14

Baruka is nothing like the bears Jin-woo just fought. He’s an S-Rank boss and the main threat of the Red Gate Dungeon.

The Ice Elves wiped out Kim Chul’s entire squad, he is the only one who made it out alive, but he won’t last long in the next episode.

So far, Baruka is the strongest enemy Jin-woo has faced, even stronger than Igris. Even though Jin-woo has become a lot stronger, he is still not at Baruka’s level.

In Solo Leveling Episode 14, Sung Jin-woo will team up with Igris and another undead soldier (no spoilers!) to defeat Baruka. The chapters upcoming episode will adapt are 51. 52. 53. 54 and 55. Solo Leveling Episode 14 official synopsis has been released too:

Several days have passed since Sung Jinwoo and his team entered the Red Gate. As they navigate the forest, the attack squad led by Jinwoo encounters the dungeon boss, an Ice Elf named Baruka, accompanied by a group of subordinates.

For some reason, Shun is able to understand the monsters’ language. Baruka then makes a chilling proposal—if Jinwoo hands over his team members, he will be spared from harm. However, Jinwoo must now decide how to respond…

Recap

Jinwoo Attends His Sister’s Parent-Teacher Meeting

The latest Solo Leveling episode starts with Jinwoo attending his sister’s Parent-Teacher Meeting since their mom is still in the hospital.

Everyone at the school is shocked to see Jinwoo because he looks completely different after his reawakening, he has grown a lot, and his vibe has totally changed.

His sister’s teacher has only good things to say about her but asks Jinwoo for a favor. The teacher mentions Han Song-Yi, an E-Rank Hunter, and one of his sister’s friends, who doesn’t care about graduating and just wants to hunt in dungeons. The teacher asks Jinwoo to convince her to focus on school instead.

Red Gate Dungeon

After learning she is his sister’s friend, Jinwoo decides to show her the real dangers of hunting. He pulls some strings with Ahn Sangmin and gets them into a White Tiger Guild training session for new recruits.

There are 10 participants in total, including Jinwoo and Song-Yi. But as soon as they enter the dungeon, it turns into a Red Gate. Right away, one of the participants is killed.

Some of you have already figured it out, but we’re inside a Red Gate. That means no one can enter or leave until we all die or the Gate expires and there’s a Dungeon Break.

Kim Chul

Kim Chul, an A-Rank Hunter leading the group, immediately decides that E-Rank Hunters like Jinwoo and Song-Yi are useless and tries to ditch them.

However, one of the participants, who figures out Jinwoo is hiding his real strength, chooses to stick with him. Kim Chul and the B-Rank Hunters go off to find the boss, Baruka, but they get wiped out easily, with Kim Chul barely surviving.

Jinwoo Shocks Everyone

Meanwhile, Jinwoo leads the rest of the group in the opposite direction. He takes down a pack of bears without breaking a sweat.

When someone finally asks who he really is, Jinwoo brushes it off and tells Song-Yi he will protect her, but she should not ask too many questions. At the end of the episode, we see Igris finishing off the bear leader and Kim Chull running from Baruka.

Solo Leveling Episode 13 is now available on Crunchyroll and Prime Video.
