Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 11 kept the audience on their toes as they were eagerly waiting to see what would happen to the Hunters on Jeju Island. The appearance of the Black Ant changed the tone of the entire episode and made it much more grim. The creature was ruthless and didn’t think twice about beheading the enemies.
Aside from Goto Ryuji, not a single Japanese Hunter was able to survive their confrontation with the Black Ant. Almost all of them were killed in a single blow, which shows the massive difference in power of the Black Ant and the Hunters.

The Queen Ant Goes Down
After A Long Battle The Hunters Find Success
The Hunters came to Jeju Island with the sole aim of taking down the Queen Ant. According to the information gathered by the intelligence teams, the normal ants lived only for a year, meaning the creatures would be wiped out if the Queen Ant didn’t give birth to more. So, the Japanese and Korean Hunters decided to band together to exterminate the Queen Ant and reclaim Jeju Island eventually.
The Korean Hunters were tasked with the responsibility of killing the Queen Ant, but they were aware that it wouldn’t be a simple task. The Queen Ant was protected by many soldiers, so the Hunters had to take down the horde before they could exterminate the Queen Ant.
Choi Jong-in came in handy with his fire magic, which allowed him to incinerate enemies at an astounding rate.
Once the mob had been dealt with, the Hunters shifted their focus to the Queen Ant, who was, unsurprisingly, sturdier than the rest. The Korean Hunters had to combine their efforts in order to bring it down. Before the Queen Ant fell, it let out a shriek. The noise reached the Black Ant and the others.
Fighting For Their Lives On Jeju Island
The Black Ant Attacks The Hunters
The Black Ant wasted no time in destroying Choi Jong-in’s safety net. Next, the Black Ant went after the Hunters. It beat them black and blue, but it did not kill all of them. There was one casualty, and it was Min Byung-gyu, the S-rank Healer, who had joined the raid at the last moment. The Black Ant figured that Min Byung-gyu was healing the wounds of other Hunters, allowing them to keep fighting. So, it decided to eliminate him first.
Once the Korean Hunters were put out of commission, the Black Ant went outside and chased Goto Ryuji. It felt a different level of magical power emanating from the Hunter, so it asked him if he was the king of humans. Goto Ryuji let his ego get to his head, and he had to pay with his life. Back at the hive, the Korean Hunters were cornered by the ants, and they were on the cusp of death, but Sung Jinwoo’s Shadows appeared and stopped the incoming attacks.
Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 12 will be released on March 22, 2025. It is titled ‘Are You King of Humans?’. The upcoming episode will see Sung Jinwoo arrive at Jeju Island and help the Korean Hunters. The hero has access to potions, and he will use them to heal the Hunters. Once the Hunters have recovered, Sung Jinwoo will focus his efforts on exterminating the horde of ants. A fighter of his caliber will have absolutely zero issues destroying the ants.
Sung Jinwoo’s next course of action will be to take down the Black Ant. The latter limbs are awash with the blood of many Hunters, and it will continue its onslaught unless someone puts an end to it. Sung Jinwoo has faced many strong opponents, but none of them come close to the Black Ant. So, the hero needs to be on his toes if he wants to kill the enemy. One thing is for certain: Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 12 promises to be full of action and drama.
