The fall anime season may be in full swing, butSolo LevelingSeason 2 is stirring up excitement online as 2025’s most anticipated anime. The anime quickly gained high status and a massive following among anime and isekai fans, leaving a strong and memorable impression on the audience.
Solo Levelingis set in a world full of monsters and mayhem, where even the strongest Hunters struggle to face these overwhelming threats. There’s no denying that it arguably had one of the most hyped and anticipated animation debuts in recent memory. Some of the most memorable scenes of the anime are in its early moments, especially during the Double Dungeon Raid.
Among the many terrifying moments of the Double Dungeon Raid, the Statue of God stands out as the most haunting image for many fans. With the excitement and criticism surrounding Season 2,Solo Levelingrisks undermining Sung Jin-woo’s epic glory and redemption against the Statue of God, a moment that could backfire in the anime, unlike in the manhwa.

Solo Leveling‘s expanding fanbase ultimately led to its transition into an anime adaptation. Based on Chugong’s highly popular web novel, it follows the story of Sung Jinwoo, who is introduced as the weakest hunter because of his low-rank status as an E-rank hunter. One of the first major enemies seen inSolo Levelingis the Statue of God.
The Double Dungeon first appears in a D-Rank Gate that had been left unchecked for too long by the Hunter Association. Beyond it would be the site of a nightmarish massacre at the hands of living statues armed with various weapons and objects.

Wearing a creepy smile and wielding immense power, the Statue of God is integral to the protagonist becoming one with the System. The Statue of God has terrified the readers with its sadistic smile, leaving a horrifying image in several manhwa readers.
The Statue of God is actually created in the image of the Absolute Being, the cruel and sadistic ultimate creator of the universe who treated his creations as mere entertainment. As the story progresses, Sung Jin-woo is invited back to the Double Dungeon to take back his revenge.

WhileSolo Levelinggarnered immense excitement and success, it also sparked a significant amount of criticism, causing many to question whether it truly lives up to the hype. Many viewers question the plot, which only centers around Sung Jin-woo and does not have a significant plot, which, in the end, becomes too repetitive and boring.
Due to the anime’s mixed reputation, the epic showdown between Sung Jin-woo and the Statue of God may fall short of expectations, as fans worry the focus on over-hyping the protagonist may backfire.
