Solo Levelinghas definitely become one of those rare shows that achieves such a high level of popularity that it keeps trending even when it is not dropping new content for a while. Proof of this is thatSolo Levelingis now more popular thanOne Pieceon Crunchyroll.
Recently, the producer of the series also gave an interview revealing more about the production — Jinwoo VS. Beeru has twice as many frames as an average episode of the series, and it took months to complete. No wonder people love it so much.
‘As It Should’? Solo Leveling Is More Popular Than One Piece
Even though we are still in May, it’s hard to imagine any other anime series beatingSolo Levelingas the anime of the year. Season 2 has been such a hit thatthe series has surpassed One Pieceas the most reviewed anime on Crunchyroll.
While there are 648,000 reviews forOne Piece, fans have written 775,000 reviews forSolo Leveling. The series also has a rating of 4.9, whileOne Piecehas a rating of 4.8. What’s really impressive about this is thatSolo Levelingis still getting a lot of reviews a month after Season 2 ended, and the difference betweenOne PieceandSolo Levelingwas smaller before April — which means that many people probably started watching the series after it finished airing.
Of course, asOne Pieceis now airing new episodes, it may eventually catch up and surpass Solo Leveling in the number of reviews. Also, there are probably people who will review One Piece after the anime is finished (some years in the future).
Is Solo Leveling Season 3 Confirmed?
While there have been many rumors thatSolo Leveling Season 3has been greenlit (and may take longer to come out), it hasnot been officially confirmed that it is in production. Given how big the series has become, it seems very likely that it will eventually be announced.
Do you know Dragon Ball’s Genki-dama (Spirit Bomb)? We need your energy! If we’re going to make a Season 3, it’s going to take all the support and energy from the fans. I learned that from Akira Toriyama himself! May the great Akira Toriyama rest in Peace.

The production committee may still be discussing the best way to approacha sequel to the series— if Season 3 follows a similar pacing to the previous ones, it may very well be the final season, so the producers may even be discussing whether it would be better to approach it in a different way, or even adapt the remaining arcs in another format (like movies or a season and a movie).
Even though there is no official word yet,Solo Levelingfans can rest assured that it seems very unlikely that this series will be canceled, so they just have towait for the official announcement.
Solo Levelingis available to stream on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed in many languages.
