The whole tension started earlier this year during the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards . Both Solo Leveling and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End were top picks for Anime of the Year.
It went from fun debate to toxic talk really quick. Many Frieren fans felt their show was ignored, and some started criticizing Solo Leveling and its story. But now, with this new crossover, it feels like a clean break from that drama.

Frieren enters the world of Solo Leveling: Arise
On October 14 , developer Netmarble officially announced the collaboration. The reveal trailer showed Frieren, Fern, and Stark becoming playable Hunters in Solo Leveling: Arise .
The short clip also showed a strong image of Sung Jinwoo and Frieren standing side by side, which instantly went viral online.
The release is set for October 23 . Fans expect a short original storyline that will explain how these two different fantasy worlds connect.
Since the Frieren manga is now on an indefinite break , this crossover might be the only new Frieren content fans will get until the anime returns next January with Season 2.
Fans turning rivalry into unity
During the time of the arguments online, some fans started creating fun fan arts and short stories of Sung Jinwoo x Frieren as a friendly ship.
That small creative trend actually helped calm things down. People began enjoying both characters together instead of comparing them.
Now that the crossover is official, it feels like the community’s effort paid off. It’s not clear if Netmarble noticed that trend or if it’s just coincidence, but the result is good. The crossover now stands as a symbol of how anime fans can find common ground.
