Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 3 Plot Updates: Cha Hae-In Returns

Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 3 has officially launched on KakaoPage and KakaoToon with Chapters 69 through 72. The new chapters feature the official return of Cha Hae-In, major developments for Sung Suho, and reports of powerful new hunters.

Cha Hae-In Returns and Season 3 Launches

Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 3 officially began in November 2026 with the release of Chapters 69 through 71 on KakaoPage and KakaoToon, with new chapters releasing on Wednesdays. According to The Economic Times and Comic Book Resources, Chapter 69 officially brings back Cha Hae-In after she spent years in the Land of Snow.

The official chapter discussion on r/sololeveling notes that Season 3 restarts Sung Suho's leveling journey. Amidst a struggle between potential successors, Suho is ready to abandon the 'Descendant of the Monarch' quest.

Meanwhile, Cha Hae-In's return sparked questions in fan discussions on r/sololeveling about the whereabouts of Kaisel. A fan pointed out that while Kaisel descended with Hae-In into the snowy gate, he does not appear—even in a chibi form—in the latest chapter, leaving his current status unknown.

New Strongest Hunters and Chapter 72 Developments

Recent coverage from several outlets highlights major shifts in hunter rankings. GameRant reported on November 7, 2026, that the sequel officially announced a new reawakened hunter on Jinwoo's level, while IMDb reported on November 13, 2026, that Korea has crowned a new strongest hunter. ScreenRant also noted that the sequel teases the return of a major fan favorite. The exact identities of these characters are not specified in the headlines.

In the official r/sololeveling discussion for Chapter 72, a preview quote expresses a desire for characters to prove themselves so that when they meet Sung Hunter in the future, they can tell him he no longer needs to resolve everything alone.

A fan analysis and theory post on r/sololeveling about Chapter 72 claims the chapter confirms that national-level hunters—and any hunter who carried the Rulers' powers before the reset—are equivalent to S-rank bosses. According to the post, Thomas completely dominated an incomplete clone of Sillad at the start of the chapter.
