While the winter 2025 season brings a series of releases, Solo Leveling: Arise from the Shadows stands out, breaking the internet in episode 6. Despite fierce competition, such as Netflix 's Sakamoto Days , the second season of the anime based on the famous Korean webtoon is winning over fans around the world with its electrifying storyline and spectacular action scenes.

If the first season introduced us to Sung Jinwoo, the weakest hunter in the world, now we see a completely transformed protagonist, poised to achieve the title of S-class hunter. And, of course, this is just the beginning!
But it's not just Jinwoo who's evolving. The Solo Leveling fanbase has grown exponentially since the anime's debut by A-1 Pictures in 2024. So much so that the most recent episode, the sixth of season 2, titled "Don't Look Down on My Guys ," literally broke the internet. And we're not talking about a viral meme or a controversial photo. The impact was so great that streaming platforms like Crunchyroll and Anilab, as well as popular piracy sites, suffered crashes and freezes due to the volume of traffic.
Why is Solo Leveling taking over the internet?
Episode 6 delivered epic moments, such as the battle between Jinwoo's shadow army and Kargalgan 's Orcs , as well as surprising revelations about the protagonist's power. While many fans celebrated the incredible scenes, others faced difficulties watching due to technical problems. Thus, on Threads, the page @todayanimenews shared screenshots of posts on X (formerly Twitter) showing viewers' frustration: " Crunchyroll's server is down again! I can't watch Solo Leveling! "
And if episode 6 already caused such an impact, fans are eager—and a little worried—about what's to come. "If it's like this now, imagine when the fight against Beru arrives! It's going to take Crunchyroll down for good," commented one user.
What to expect from the end of season 2
Here's some news that might make fans a little sad: The second season of Solo Leveling is already halfway through. The next episode, titled "The 10th S-Rank Hunter," premieres on February 15, 2025. The official synopsis states:
Jinwoo, who single-handedly cleared one of the most dangerous Class A dungeons, is re-evaluated and becomes the country's tenth Class S hunter. Ignoring everyone's attention, he once again challenges the conquest of the 'Demon Castle'.
Without missing a single detail of the action
If you haven't started watching Solo Leveling, it's more than time to dive into this universe full of action, mystery, and character development. So, for those who are already fans, get ready: the next episodes promise to be even more intense. To avoid server problems, our advice is to avoid watching at the exact moment of release. Give Crunchyroll a break!
