Solo Leveling broke the internet with season 2 episode 6

While the winter 2025 season brings a slew of releases, Solo Leveling Arise from the Shadows stands out by breaking the internet with episode 6. Despite stiff 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, on the verge of achieving the title of S-Class Hunter. And, of course, this is just the beginning!

Solo Leveling 's fanbase has grown exponentially since the anime's premiere 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 outages and crashes due to the volume of access.

Why is Solo Leveling taking over the internet?

Episode 6 brought epic moments, such as the battle between Jinwoo's shadow army Kargalgan Orcs , as well as surprising revelations about the protagonist's power. While many fans celebrated the incredible scenes, others struggled to watch due to technical issues. On Threads, the @todayanimenews page shared screenshots of posts on X (formerly Twitter) showing viewers' frustration: " The Crunchyroll server is down again! I can't watch Solo Leveling! "

And, if episode 6 has already made 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 comes! It's going to bring down Crunchyroll once and for all ," commented one user.

What to expect from the season 2 finale

Here's some news that might make fans a little sad: Solo Leveling is already halfway through. The next episode, titled "The 10th S-Rank Hunter ," premieres on February 15, 2025. The official synopsis reads:

Jinwoo, who single-handedly cleared one of the most dangerous A-class dungeons, is reevaluated and becomes the tenth S-class Hunter in the country. Ignoring everyone's attention, he once again challenges for the Demon Castle.
