Solo Leveling Episode 25 (Finale) Will Introduce the Monarchs and Wrap Up the Jeju Island Arc

Solo Leveling Episode 25 titled On to the Next Target will be released on March 29. This episode will bring the Jeju Island Arc to an end while also covering the Recruitment Arc.

It is the final episode of the second season as well. A lot of fans have been waiting for this arc for a long time, and A-1 Pictures did not disappoint at all, especially with the Sung Jinwoo vs Ant King fight.

Solo Leveling Episode 24 broke multiple records, becoming the most-liked episode on Crunchyroll and earning a 9.9/10 rating on IMDb.

Solo Leveling Season 2 started airing on January 5, 2025, and has covered six arcs so far, with Jeju Island being the latest.

The Jeju Island raid has finally ended, with Jinwoo taking down the Ant King and leveling up even more. But not everything is settled yet.

Cha Hae-In’s condition is getting worse, his healing potion did not work, and even the Elixir of Life failed. The episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Jinwoo desperately trying to find a way to save her.

Why Elixir of Life Did Not Work on Cha Hae-In?

The Elixir of Life is an item that can cure any illness. Sung Jinwoo got it after clearing the Demon Castle Dungeon, which was created by the system to help him level up.

He already used it once to cure his mother from Eternal Slumber, and with the limited amount he had left, he tried to use it on Cha Hae-In to save her life.

The reason the Elixir of Life did not work on Cha Hae-In is, that it only cures illnesses, but her condition was not caused by a disease. She was badly injured in the fight against the Ant King, and the damage she took was not something the elixir could fix. That is why, despite using it, she did not recover.

Because the subject condition is not covered by the drug, it is ineffective

Solo Leveling Episode 25 Preview

Solo Leveling Episode 25 will show Jinwoo searching for a way to heal Cha Hae-In and officially ending the fourth Jeju Island raid, which was a success thanks to his arrival. But that is not all, this episode will also introduce the Monarchs for the first time, teasing a new threat. The official synopsis describes Solo Leveling Episode 25 story as:

Even the “Elixir of Life,” their last hope, had no effect. With Cha Hae-in’s condition becoming critical, Jinwoo comes up with an idea to save her. Despite heavy sacrifices, the fourth Jeju Island Raid ends in victory for the Hunters.
Having demonstrated his power both at home and abroad, Jinwoo sets off in pursuit of even greater strength, throwing himself into new battles.

Major Spoilers From Solo Leveling Episode 25

What To Expect From Solo Leveling Episode 25 Finale?

Solo Leveling Episode 25 will start with Sung Jinwoo trying to find a way to save Cha Hae-In. Moving her is not an option since she is too weak right now, and his fight with the Ant King took too much time, making her condition even worse.

In the end, Jinwoo will use his ability to extract the shadow of Min Byung-Gyu, an S-rank healer who died during the raid, and have him heal Cha Hae-In.

However, since Min Byung-Gyu was a kind person who gave his life to protect his country, Jinwoo will cancel the shadow extraction right after healing her out of respect.

After healing Cha Hae-In, Jinwoo will extract the Ant King’s shadow, and it will turn out to be his strongest soldier so far.

Even Jinwoo himself will be shocked to see that this shadow is at the General Rank. He will name him Beru and order him to wipe out the remaining ants on Jeju Island.

After the raid is over, hunters will start heading back, while a few will stay to clear out any remaining ant monsters and the dungeon loot.

However, two mysterious and powerful beings will appear on the island. They look human but don’t speak the human language. Their names won’t be revealed yet, but their brief introduction will set up an important part of the story. Luckily, they won’t kill any hunters during this encounter.

Recruitment Arc Will Begin

The episode title “On to the Next Level” confirms that the Recruitment Arc will also be covered. This is because Jinwoo says this line at the end of Chapter 110, which is where the Recruitment Arc concludes.

Solo Leveling Episode 24 ended in the middle of Chapter 104, so Episode 25 is expected to cover around 5 to 6 chapters. A-1 Pictures has previously adapted 6 chapters in the Return to Demon Castle Arc, so it is definitely possible.

This arc will introduce the Federal Bureau of Hunters and will also bring in the second Red Gate incident in Solo Leveling’s story.

Solo Leveling Episode 25 will likely adapt Chapters 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, and 110 from the manhwa.
