Sat Feb 15 16:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Solo Leveling English Dub Delays Episode 5 by One Week

**Los Angeles, CA** – Fans of the popular anime *Solo Leveling* will experience a slight delay in their viewing pleasure. The English dub of Season 2, episode 5, has been pushed back one week, airing now alongside episode 6 on Saturday, February 22, 2025, on Crunchyroll.

The official *Solo Leveling* X account announced the postponement, calming fan concerns by confirming that the delay will not affect the overall season schedule. The decision affects only the English dub, which has consistently released episodes weekly, two weeks behind the subtitled version. This delay allows for a back-to-back viewing experience of episodes 5 and 6, avoiding the cliffhanger wait fans have come to expect.

The English dub, featuring Aleks Le as the protagonist Sung Jinwoo, has gained a dedicated following for its quality. The delay comes despite the English dub’s faster and more consistent release compared to many other Crunchyroll anime. The anticipation for episode 5, which teases a major battle for Jinwoo, is high, and the simultaneous release of episodes 5 and 6 is intended to improve the viewing experience. The demand for episode 6 in the past led to server crashes on Crunchyroll and other platforms, showcasing the show’s immense popularity. *Solo Leveling* has recently surpassed *Jujutsu Kaisen* in popularity ratings on Crunchyroll.
