The upcoming 4th episode of the highly popular manhwa adaptation Solo Leveling looks to feature intense action as MC Sung Jinwoo takes on menacing lycanthrope enemies in the dungeon’s depths.
Given Jinwoo’s continued growth empowered by his magical “System,” fans can expect an impressive display of his heightened skills against these vicious beasts. The episode will likely showcase just how much more capable a fighter our cool-headed hero has become since his difficult trials in the Double Dungeon arc.
Light novel readers know Jinwoo has leveled up in staggering ways, but anime-only fans are in for an exhilarating reveal of his fearsome new abilities versus frightening foes. Will brains or brawn triumph when Jinwoo faces the Steel-Fanged pack? Audiences anticipate finding out in what promises to be a riveting battle spectacle.
As Solo Leveling raises the stakes, Jinwoo continues ascending in his uniquely solo quest for power and glory within the savage dungeon dangers that prospects confront at their peril.
What Happened in Solo Leveling Episode 3
The latest episode reveals Jinwoo waking up in the hospital after the Double Dungeon incident, still lacking his old magical strength according to mana tests. As friends and family, including sick mother visit, a mystifying game-style System appears only visible to Jinwoo, granting special player-like powers.
Through inventory, quests, level-ups, and more like an RPG protagonist, Jinwoo soon exploits his new secret abilities to grow stronger. After an emotional visit from sister Jinnah and friend Songyi, Jinwoo mysteriously levels up his player-like status and unlocks a dungeon key as a reward.
Later, when colleague Joo-Hee finds him running at superhuman speeds, it becomes clear only Jinwoo can experience this video game-inspired power system. The episode ends with him entering the solo dungeon, easily defeating beasts that previously overwhelmed him with strength gained from his new reality.

What To Expect From Solo Leveling Episode 4
Based on the steady progression of adapting the manhwa’s content, Solo Leveling’s fourth episode will likely cover the remainder of chapter 13 and then tackle chapters 14 through 20. This would continue the methodical pacing established over recent episodes.
Events expected to be shown include Jinwoo confronting the dungeon’s imposing boss monster and emerging victorious, exhibiting his incredible gains in strength through the mysterious leveling system. The episode even takes its name from a line in chapter 20 reading, “I’ve Gotta Get Stronger” – signaling Jinwoo’s ceaseless drive to improve.
While staying faithful to the main storyline, A-1 Pictures may interweave some original anime material like before to spotlight other key characters sooner than the comics did. However, the episode should properly introduce fellow prospects Yoo Jinho and Hwang Dongsuk, at minimum, per the source canon.
