Solo Leveling Episode 8 Delayed: Recap Episode to Air Next Week
A-1 Pictures, the studio responsible for producing the “Solo Leveling” anime, has consistently delivered exceptional episodes week after week, pleasing its long-time fans. When everything seemed to be going smoothly, the makers put a break halfway through the first season by delaying the scheduled Solo Leveling Episode 8.
Following the latest episode release on Saturday, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for Solo Leveling broke the news to the fans, citing that Solo Leveling Episode 8 will be delayed by a week and will now air on March 2. A recap episode titled “How to Get Stronger” will air next week in place of Episode 8.
The recap episode (Episode 7.5) will come with a newly recorded narration by the cast and promises to cover key moments from the previous episodes, ensuring that everyone is up to date on the storyline when Solo Leveling Episode 8 finally airs. It will stream on Crunchyroll, as with all the other episodes.
Early fan reactions to the news are largely displeasing as many are understandably disappointed by the delay given the success of the anime so far. The news comes just days after Sung Jinwoo’s voice actor’s health concern, so fans are urging the makers not to rush production and to take their time instead.
Solo Leveling anime has quickly become a fan favorite and has gained a dedicated fan base with its gripping storyline, exhilarating action sequences, and stellar visuals. The delay of Solo Leveling Episode 8 is sure to only heighten anticipation for the series’ return rather than hampering the franchise’s explosive success.
