It’s official: the teaser trailer for Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- is here, and it’s as epic as you’d hope.
The trailer doesn’t just showcase the anime’s upgraded visuals but also gives us a first listen to the new opening theme, “ReawakeR” by LiSA featuring Felix from Stray Kids.
If you’re a fan of anime music or K-pop, this collaboration is huge and deserves all the hype it’s getting.
What’s in the Solo Leveling Season 2 Teaser?
The teaser is a visual feast, blending action-packed sequences with glimpses of the evolving story. Jinwoo (or Shun, depending on your preferred romanization) commands his shadow soldiers in high-stakes battles against some truly intimidating enemies.
It’s clear that A-1 Pictures is upping their game for this season, with fluid animation and rich backgrounds that match the stakes of the story.
The highlight, of course, is the preview of “ReawakeR”, which plays over the trailer’s climax. The song is composed by the legendary Hiroyuki Sawano (think Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill), so expect soaring instrumentals and a dramatic tone.
Who are LiSA and Felix?
For those who haven’t been keeping up, this track is a collaboration between two major stars.
LiSA is practically a household name in the anime world (her Demon Slayer OP “Gurenge” became a global phenomenon), while Felix represents the K-pop juggernaut Stray Kids.
“I have been entrusted with performing the opening theme. It is a song that expresses the determination to carve out the destiny given to those who have been reborn.” LiSA commented.
Felix said “I’m very honored to be featured in LiSA-senpai’s song . “ReawakeR (feat. Felix of Stray Kids)” is an energetic song that gives you a dopamine boost when you listen to it. I hope everyone who is looking forward to the anime “Only I Level Up” and the theme song “ReawakeR (feat. Felix of Stray Kids)” will give it lots of love“
Together, their voices bring an energetic and emotional depth that fits Solo Leveling’s themes of perseverance and growth.
