The episode picks up right where the previous episode's harrowing cliffhanger left off: with the Japanese "Charlie" team being massacred by a terrifying new enemy. This villain, the Ant King, emerges as an overwhelming force, leaving even the S-rank hunters of the Jeju Island assault team in shock. The episode alternates between triumphant action scenes, heartbreaking emotional moments, and gripping horror, even in the absence of the true hero, Sung Jinwoo.
Episode 11 captures an atmosphere of dark horror that few episodes of the series have managed to convey so far. The anime spares no expense in blood and violence to convey the fear the S-rank hunters feel before the Ant King's overwhelming power. The opening scene, with the Japanese hunters being instantly decapitated and left in pools of blood, sets the tone, and the action relentlessly escalates from there.
Episode 11 spotlights South Korea's S-rank hunters, but there's one notable absence: Sung Jinwoo. He only says one word in the entire episode, but that one word is enough to create the episode's best moment. Solo Leveling have a love-hate relationship with the anime's constant cliffhangers, and episode 11 is no different.
Solo Leveling Arise Episode 12 Release Date
Thus, episode 12 of season 2 premieres on Saturday, March 22, 2025 , at 9:30 am (Pacific Time) and, in Brazil, at 2:30 pm (Brasília time). Crunchyroll streams the series exclusively.
The episode ends with the promise of delivering what may be the best fight in the entire anime. The title of the next episode, "Are You the King of Humans?" , further heightens the anticipation. The Ant King's obsessive search for the "king of humans" will surely be answered when Sung Jinwoo finally arrives on Jeju Island in episode 12. And, if episode 11 is any indication, it will be better than anyone expected.
Finally, the first season of the Solo Leveling anime premiered in Japan on January 6, 2024, on the Crunchyroll .
