The Ahjin Guild arc is what the upcoming Solo Leveling film is expected to adapt. It runs chapters 111–122, picking up directly where Season 2 ended, and follows Jinwoo founding his own guild after Jeju Island.
It is a consequences arc rather than an action showcase — recruitment, funding, and the international attention that the Jeju raid attracted.

What the Ahjin Guild Arc Covers
Ahjin Guild is the arc immediately after Jeju Island, and it is the first stretch of the story where Jinwoo stops operating alone.
Having proven himself at Jeju, he registers his own guild — Ahjin — with Yoo Jinho as Vice-Guild Master. The arc follows the practical reality of that: recruitment, funding, licensing, and the politics of being a new guild run by a hunter nobody can classify.
It is a quieter arc than what precedes it, and that is deliberate. After a raid where named hunters died, the story slows down to deal with consequences.
Why This Arc Matters Right Now
Of all the arcs the anime has not adapted, this is the one to know about — because it is what the upcoming film is expected to cover.
Solo Leveling: Beyond the System picks up directly after Season 2, which ended with Jeju Island. The Ahjin Guild arc is what comes next in sequence.
Our read
Ahjin Guild is an unusual choice for a theatrical film, and that tells you something. It is a consequences arc, not a spectacle arc. Choosing it suggests the film is bridging into Season 3 rather than delivering a self-contained action piece — which fits the “bridge” framing the announcement used.
What Happens
Spoilers beyond the anime
Everything below is manhwa-only. Stop here if you are waiting for the film.
Jinwoo builds the guild from nothing, using the Ahjin name and Jinho’s family funding. The recruitment problem is immediate: a guild with one S-Rank hunter and one D-Rank vice master is not an attractive proposition for experienced hunters.
He also continues working through the consequences of Jeju — his public profile has changed, the Association is paying closer attention, and other countries have taken notice of what happened on the island.
The arc sets up the international dimension that dominates the story from this point forward.
Where It Sits in the Series
| Arc | Chapters | Anime status |
|---|---|---|
| Jeju Island | 90–107 | Season 2, episodes 10–13 |
| Recruitment | 108–110 | Season 2 finale |
| Ahjin Guild | 111–122 | Expected in the film |
| Double Dungeon (later arc) | 123–131 | Not adapted |
If you finished the anime and want to read ahead, chapter 111 is the correct starting point. That is where Ahjin Guild begins and where Season 2 left off.
Should You Read It Before the Film?
That depends on what you want from the film.
Reading ahead means knowing the plot but appreciating the adaptation choices — what A-1 Pictures keeps, cuts, and expands. Waiting means experiencing it cold, which for a bridge arc built on consequences rather than twists is arguably the better option.
There is no wrong answer, but this is a quieter arc than Jeju, and its impact depends more on accumulated context than on surprise.
