Solo Leveling is based on Korean hunter Sung Jin Woo, who was termed humanity’s weakest hunter and assigned the rank F. 2024 is the prime year for many good animes but the one that stood out among them and is arguably the most anticipated series of the year is none other than Solo Levelling.
With episode one just being released a few days ago, the series managed to break a major record held by Luffy’s Gear 5 episode, which was the biggest episode premiere on Crunchyroll, but that was demolished by the very first episode of the series of Solo Leveling.
Solo Leveling shatters Luffy’s Gear 5 record in One Piece in a single episode
One Piece fandom is one of the biggest in the world, with millions of people growing up with the series. The series continues to thrill the audience even after two decades.
Many fans often hail Luffy’s Gear 5 as the most iconic moment in One Piece, as it was foreshadowed for a very long time.
Solo Leveling revolves around Sung Jinwoo, who is the weakest hunter alive but cannot quit due to his need for funds to pay off his mother’s hospital bills.
During a mission, he finds himself about to be killed but this initiates a “secret side quest” and starts the solo leveling narrative.
Previously, the most anticipated episode premiere on Crunchyroll was of One Piece, which was Luffy’s Gear 5 with 85k–102k; however, that was broken by Solo Leveling’s first episode, which got 116k likes in 2 days.
Solo Leveling is expected to break even more records, considering it is the most well-known webtoon of all time and has a huge fanbase all around the globe.
More on Solo Leveling
Solo Leveling is one of the most anticipated anime adaptations due to how well-crafted and fascinating the story is. The Manwha is based on Only I Level Up, a South Korean web novel written by Chugong.
The Manwha was illustrated by Jang Sung-rak, who passed away on July 20, 2023, after suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage. The story depicts the journey of a young hunter who was often ridiculed for his weakness.
From being termed the weakest hunter in existence and almost perishing during a mission, Jinwoo rises from nothing to becoming the strongest hunter of all time.
Not only humans, he even surpassed the gods, who can manipulate time and space, as well as summon beasts strong enough to take down entire cities.
Jinwoo’s journey as a character is truly fascinating; however, his only wish and desire is to protect his loved ones but the system has other plans for him.
Solo leveling is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
