17:40. That was the exact moment I knew Season 2, Episode 12 of Solo Leveling would become a hallmark of 2025 in the anime community. It wasn’t just a hunch either; a single cut from this episode has already racked up over 31 million views on Youtube.

I’ve always loved animation and as a lifelong fan of the medium, I was captivated by the synergy of choreography, music, and visual storytelling in this sequence. This design is an homage to the manhwa’s transition to the screen, incorporating “easter egg” visual references and iconic dialogue from the scene. More than just merch, it’s a piece of wearable fan culture—a silent celebration shared with the millions of fans around the world who experienced that incredible episode alongside me.

To ensure the design translates across any wardrobe, I developed both dark and light colorways for maximum adaptability.
