Amid the excitement for future episodes, the opening sequence of the first episode may have inadvertently spoiled much of what’s to come in season 2.

With Season 2,Solo Levelingmoves into new territory, increasing the scale of power dramatically while introducing some of the series’ most popular characters.
Season 2 will encompass iconic scenes like Jinwoo’s Rank Retesting and his journey into the Demon Castle, but exactly how far into the story it’ll go has yet to be officially confirmed.
‘Solo Leveling’s Opening Almost Didn’t Include Stray Kids’ Felix: “What if I teamed up with a Korean artist?”
The opening ofSolo Levelinghints atseveral events that will unfoldin Season 2, including Jinwoo’s first battle with the Monarch Baran and the Holy Water of Life, raising the expectations of several fans.
Among the many interesting moments teased in the opening sequence, one reference to the pomegranate fruit and its connection to Jinwoo has been puzzling fans.
Solo Levelingfans have probably seen the many references to pomegranates in the opening sequence, but many are still left wondering what it really symbolizes.
In the Greek myth of Persephone’s abduction by Hades, lord of the underworld, the pomegranate represents life, regeneration, and marriage.
The pomegranate symbolizes Persephone’s binding to the underworld after she ate its seeds, essentially signifying her new life in the underworld.
Solo Leveling‘s core theme revolves around Jinwoo’s rebirth and reawakening after the Double Dungeon incident, where a lowly E-rank hunter gained the extraordinary ability to level up.
This relates to Greek mythology, where the pomegranate is the symbol of Persephone’s myth of rebirth and new beginnings, much like Jinwoo’s reawakening state. It could also represent Jinwoo’s relation to the undead as the Shadow Monarch and his necromancer powers.

However, it acknowledged the immense effort that Jinwoo had put into conquering the Red Gate dungeon byrewarding him with a new set of daggers, Baruka’s Dagger.
With an impressive +110 attack power boost and a +10 agility boost, the danger holds significance in Sung Jinwoo’s weapon collection.
Baruka’s Dagger became Jinwoo’s primary weapon for a long time and will likely stay with him until the end of Season 2, culminating in his battle against Demon King Baran.
