The video ends with a new clip of Mizushino placing his index finger on his lips following the line, "Wake up."

To commemorate the completion of the first season and the announcement of the second, vision jacking was simultaneously launched in various locations around three cities worldwide: Shibuya and Shinjuku in Tokyo, various parts of Seoul, and Times Square in New York. Fans from all over the world, including overseas, have expressed their excitement, saying they are looking forward to the continuation and eagerly awaiting the second season.

Moreover, "Solo Leveling" has become the most-watched series this season on Crunchyroll, which streams the show in the United States, Europe, and other locations. According to a Crunchyroll representative, the viewing figures have exceeded expectations.

This work is based on a high-speed action fantasy manga by Chugong (original story), DUBU (REDICE STUDIO) (artwork), and h-goon (D&C MEDIA) (script adaptation). Several years after portals known as "Gates" connecting another dimension to our world suddenly appeared, humans with superhuman abilities called "Hunters" emerged worldwide. Among these powerful Hunters, the protagonist, Shun Mizushino, lived as the lowest rank Hunter, known as the weakest human weapon, until one day, on the verge of death, he decides to accept a mysterious quest, leading him to become the only person who can "level up."

The series has surpassed over 650 million cumulative PVs on the digital manga and novel service "Piccoma" and has become a popular work with readers all around the globe.
