What to expect from Solo Leveling Season 1 finale?
Proceed with caution as this section includes spoilers for Solo Leveling Episode 11 and the manhwa as we talk about what’s to come.
First, let me give you a brief recap of Episode 11. Titled The Knight That Guards an Empty Throne, this episode first reminds the viewers that Jinwoo has reached the required level to unlock a job change quest. The protagonist accepts the request and enters an instant dungeon, which manhwa fans might remember as part of the Job Change arc.
Next, Jinwoo takes on armored knights, stealthy assassins, and mages on the way to the main throne room. Here, he encounters an empty throne and a red knight, called Igris the Bloodred, ready to fight him. If you’ve watched this episode, I don’t need to tell you how the animators have outdone themselves with this one. The fight sequence between Igris and Jinwoo is the best of the series so far, and no, I’m not exaggerating.
If you’ve watched this episode, you already know that Igris has been defeated and Jinwoo is now fighting a hoard of armored knights, assassins, and mages. Will the hunter who can level up emerge victorious? And what is the significance of Arise?
You can breathe a sigh of relief as Jinwoo will be able to defeat all that comes at him and qualify for a job change. Not to spoil much, but as the new job is assigned to Jinwoo, he’s seen saying his signature word – Arise. That will be enough to send the manhwa fans into a frenzy and have the anime-only fans excited for what’s to come in the next season.
Now, get ready to witness the rise of Jinwoo from being a powerful hunter, growing from Rank E to something out of this world. It’s time to welcome the Monarch!
