Solo Leveling has been a powerhouse in the anime world since it dropped, breaking records for popularity and views, earning fame and acclaim, and even many accolades. But this is not the peak of the series. Solo Leveling has yet to show its best parts.
Until now, the series was successful in delivering breathtaking animation and intense battles featuring the power-leveling protagonist Sung Jinwoo. But when it comes to emotional development, not much has taken place for Jinwoo.
This is about to change as the most emotional part of the series is going to be adapted soon, and this could change the perception of the fans that this series isn’t just about action and fights- Solo Leveling has heart and emotions!
A change that could augment its overall quality
While the Solo Leveling series thrives on high-speed thrill and action, there are some emotionally powerful and charged moments that have culminated for a long time. The most impactful one is still ahead.
This is the episode where Jinwoo finally saves his mother from Eternal Slumber after many years of effort and hard work.

Sung Jinwoo was extremely young when his mother succumbed to an untreatable illness, “eternal slumber,” which is essentially a supernatural coma-like state, and it was likely caused by her inability to handle mana exposure from the Gate phenomenon.
This is what led Jinwoo to take up the dangerous and treacherous path of being a Hunter. Even when he realized that he had no talent in the area, he still persisted on the path because he knew that only by risking his life could he afford his mother’s life support and take care of his sister, Sung Jinah.
Why this could be the best episode of Solo Leveling yet
No amount of flashy fight scenes can match the raw emotional weight of this moment, the son who had to keep up an appearance of being strong and enduring, all for the sake of his family.
And when he finally sees that his mother is awake and well, his facade crumbles and he shows his most vulnerable side.
Why are people getting mad like he wasn’t fighting all this time to wake his mother up from the eternal slumber😭

Even the strongest warriors are still human. Just because Sung Jinwoo went through many dangerous situations and obtained the System does not mean that he is any less of a youth. He may have been hardened by the world, but in front of his family, he has no need to keep up such appearances.
A-1 Pictures has done an extremely impressive job until now, and with the right execution, this could be the defining episode of Solo Leveling. It was not the best fight, but surely the one that sticks with fans long after the credits roll.
Solo Leveling is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
