In this season, Solo Leveling has become one of the best animes. The series is based on a South Korean web novel, which ended in 2021. In April 2023, a continuation named Solo Leveling: Ragnarok was unexpectedly released, starting with over 100 chapters. However, the story could make the same mistake as Naruto.
What mistake did Naruto make? The anime series Naruto split into the original anime and Shippuden. After the grand finale, the baton was passed to the new generation. Currently, his son Boruto is struggling with various problems.
There are several reasons why Boruto is generally considered unpopular. One of them is that popular characters from the Naruto universe hardly appear anymore. Even Naruto himself is increasingly relegated to the background. Currently, he is not even in the same dimension as the other ninjas and is rarely shown.
In Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, there is a similar premise. Here, it’s not Sung Jinwoo at the center of events, but his son Sung Suho. This provides the same foundation as with Naruto and Boruto. Since the story is not yet completed, it could happen that Sung Jinwoo also fades into the background like Naruto.
It might take ages before we get to see Solo Leveling: Ragnarok as an anime. Just a few weeks ago, the anime for Solo Leveling, the original story, started:
Solo Leveling already has a continuation with Ragnarok
What is Solo Leveling: Ragnarok about? Sung Suho is the son of Sung Jinwoo, the protagonist from Solo Leveling. He had a completely normal life as a college student until he had to experience a near-death experience. In that moment, his hunter abilities awakened, with which his father had already defeated monsters in the gates.
Currently, the story comprises over 174 chapters. An ending is not yet in sight. Therefore, one can only hope that Sung Jinwoo remains an important part of the story. So far, readers on reddit are satisfied with the story from Ragnarok:
- Global_Buildes8324 writes that the story would go crazy because of the power scaling. It is even better than in Solo Leveling at times because there are deeper explanations.
- For huncherbug, the side characters are well integrated. Whether Sung Jinwoo is among them, he did not reveal.
- This is clarified in No-Resolution-4385’s post. According to the user, Jinwoo is still an important figure. The other characters from Solo Leveling would also be used for new arcs.
One can only hope that the author does not forget this premise and continues to incorporate the characters from Solo Leveling into Ragnarok. After all, the anime was produced only because of the fans. Otherwise, Jinwoo could meet the same fate as Naruto: forgotten in another dimension.
Where can I read Solo Leveling: Ragnarok? Currently, the story is only available to readers from South Korea via the Kakao app. In Germany, it is not yet possible to read Solo Leveling: Ragnarok through official means. However, given its great popularity, the reading should find its way to us quickly.
One episode was, however, not quite as popular as the others: New hype anime receives 74,600 dislikes for one episode, becoming the most unpopular episode on Crunchyroll
