When Last We Left Jinwoo
At the end of Solo Leveling’s second season, Jinwoo’s rise in power only became more prevalent for the man who was once the least powerful hunter in the world. As his powers have continued to evolve thanks to the mysterious system that he is a part of, the protagonist managed to become humanity’s ace in the hole on the insect-infested island known as Jeju. While scores of hunters were killed thanks to the ants and the ants’ dark king, Beru, Sung came in like a hurricane and managed to defeat the villain in quick succession. adding the ant king to his collection of shadows.
The previous movie that erupted from Jinwoo’s action-packed tale was Solo Leveling: Re-Awakening, which arrived as a compilation film similar to those of Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. Rather than creating an entirely new story, the movie took episodes from season one and season two to create one big theatrical experience. It has yet to be revealed if this will be the same for Beyond The System, and whether this will be the lead-in for an official third season
