The Anticipated Debut of Esil Radiru in Solo Leveling: What Fans Can Expect

The Potential Debut of Esil Radiru

With only episode 2 of the Solo Leveling anime out on Saturday, fans are already excited and eagerly awaiting the introduction of their favorite characters. Thus far, only the protagonist Sung Jin-Woo has received major screen time with cameos from Cha Hae-In and Choi Jung-In. However, manhwa readers will be aware of a certain character who has grown in popularity since her introduction - Esil Radiru.

To answer the question of whether Esil Radiru might debut in Season 1, it is speculated that she could appear in episode 12 if the studio continues to animate 7 chapters per episode. This pacing would allow the animators to cover up to chapter 81 of the manhwa, which is the point at which Esil makes her appearance. Another possibility is if Season 1 has 2 cours, in which case she may appear at the end of the second cour, allowing for a slower pacing of the story.
