Solo Leveling has recently made headlines in Japan, where discussions about its record-breaking performance on Crunchyroll continue to spark interest. Although some critics claim the series lacks widespread fame in Japan—its country of origin being South Korea—its growing viewership and anime fandom suggest otherwise.
While it’s evident that Solo Leveling resonates particularly well with international audiences, this doesn’t negate its increasing popularity domestically. The production team is actively pushing the series to new heights, as underscored by a recent advertisement that celebrates its achievements.
During a broadcast of Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 7, the BS11 TV channel took a moment to announce the arrival of a new S-rank hunter in a mock-news format. Featuring Riria from the Nogizaka46 idol group as the anchor, this creative ad cleverly integrates elements from the webcomic adaptation. You can view the advertisement on Aniplex’s official YouTube channel:

Solo Leveling Breaks Its Own Records on Crunchyroll
Upon the release of Season 2 on Crunchyroll, Solo Leveling quickly became a phenomenon, culminating in the fastest accumulation of 100, 000 likes on the platform. Episode 6, in particular, set a new record, achieving this milestone in a mere 7 hours. The overwhelming demand and anticipation for this episode even led to server issues for both Crunchyroll and various piracy sites.
Bad News for Solo Leveling English Dub Fans
Unfortunately, not all recent updates regarding Solo Leveling have been favorable. Crunchyroll announced a delay in the release of the English dubbed Episode 5, which is now set to air on February 22. Importantly, this delay won’t affect Episode 6, which is still on track for its original schedule.
Currently, Solo Leveling is available for streaming on Crunchyroll with both subbed and dubbed options in multiple languages. It is also accessible on Netflix, although only in select Asian regions.
