Solo Leveling fans are eagerly awaiting news about season 3 , but, as recently revealed, the wait may be longer than expected. During a Q&A event moderated by Raquel Harris of TheWrap, Aniplex producer Sota Furuhashi and A-1 Pictures animation producer Atsushi Kaneko shared their perspectives on the series' future.

The conversation was relaxed, but it brought up important reflections. Furuhashi even joked when answering: “I think that was the hardest question of the night. I'm also eagerly waiting for a third season! But honestly, between the first and second seasons, we created 220,000 animation frames.” The number surprised the audience, and he added: “I'd like to give the animators a break. If it were up to me, I'd say: let's wait until the next Olympics to see what happens with Solo Leveling season 3.”
The future of Solo Leveling depends on the energy of the fans
Kaneko, in turn, responded symbolically, comparing the situation to the famous Genki Dama from Dragon Ball. “It doesn’t just depend on me, or Furuhashi-san. You know how the Genki Dama works. We need the energy of all Solo Leveling fans around the world to decide if we’ll have a third season.” While speaking, Kaneko even raised his arms, imitating Goku’s classic gesture.
Furthermore, the producers highlighted the challenges of balancing the series' global popularity with A-1 Pictures' tight schedule. After all, as Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini, there is high demand for new anime, and finding the right time to start a new production requires planning.
While we wait, we can only hope that the "power of the fans" brings news soon. Want to keep up with everything about Solo Leveling? Follow AnimeNew on WhatsApp and Instagram.
