7 Solo Leveling Scenes Missing From Season 2

by

Solo Leveling offers moments that leave you astonished, creating an indelible impact. The brutal fights of protagonist Sung Jin-Woo are arguably the high point in this manhwa series, as he transforms from the weakest E-rank hunter to the strongest in Korea – a transformation that is nothing short of miraculous. However, some scenes from the source material did not make it into the anime adaptation, making the second season of Solo Leveling somewhat incomplete.

In the second season of Solo Leveling, six distinct storylines were portrayed, ranging from the Red Gate Arc to the Jeju Island Arc, across only 13 episodes. Given the constraints of the anime format, such as time limitations and need for a swift narrative flow, certain scenes from the original manhwa had to be omitted. This article highlights some of the scenes from the manhwa that didn’t make it into Solo Leveling Season 2.

Sung Jin-Woo’s Visit to the Bank

Sung Jin-Woo Declines an Investment Opportunity

  • Manhwa Scene From Chapter 46

In the manhwa, many instances of Sung Jin-Woo’s everyday life were not depicted in the anime, possibly to maintain the pace of the story. One such moment occurred before Jin-Woo visited Jin-Ah’s school; he went to the bank just to update his account and obtain a debit card. Given his high-earning status as a top-tier Hunter, it was normal for him to have over 1.4 billion won in his bank account at this point.

A hunter’s income increases with their rank, but in Jin-Woo’s situation, he’s been teaming up with Yoo Jin-Ho for dungeon raids, as well as taking on side jobs. This additional income source lets him save money, even though he’s only an E-rank hunter. Interestingly enough, a bank teller presented an investment opportunity to Jin-Woo, which he politely turned down.

Yoo Soo-Hyun’s Debut

Yoo Jin-Ho’s Beautiful Cousin

  • Manhwa Scene From Chapter 67

Yoo Soo-Hyun is the attractive cousin of Yoo Jin-Ho from the series Solo Leveling. Apart from being a well-known Korean model and actress, she’s also an accomplished A-rank hunter. Her curiosity towards Sung Jin-Woo has been piqued, particularly since she discovered his extraordinary demonstration of power on Jeju Island.

Initially, it was planned for character Yoo Soo-Hyun to show up in Solo Leveling Season 2, but her scene alongside Jin-Ho never made it onto the screen. Instead, season 2 overlooked Yoo Soo-Hyun’s presence entirely. However, there is optimism that she might eventually feature in Solo Leveling Season 3. Ideally, if she does appear, it would be for an expanded role to make up for her absence in the previous season.

Cha Hae-In Looks for Jin-Woo

Cha Hae-In’s Adorable Helicopter Moment

  • Manhwa Scene From Chapter 95

In the second season of Solo Leveling, some sweet and significant interactions between characters Cha Hae-In and Sung Jin-Woo, which were present in the original comic, were not accurately portrayed in the anime. This might be because the anime primarily focuses on action rather than character development in their relationship. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge these tender moments since they contribute to a more genuine representation of their connection, as they showcase Hae-In’s growing admiration for Jin-Woo.

Instead, consider rephrasing as follows: On their trip to Jeju Island, Cha Hae-In inquired about Jin-Woo’s location for the first time. She even went so far as to ask a coworker where he was. Although it might have been subtle and easy to overlook, this interaction subtly illustrates her growing fascination with Jin-Woo.

Jin-Woo Saves a Random Woman

  • Manhwa Scene From Chapter 94

It appears that on the night before the Jeju Island raid, Jin-Woo might have been in a grumpy state as he rescued a woman at random. When he encountered a shady character who was harassing someone, it revealed a more aggressive side of Jin-Woo, hinting at his increased irritability. Messing with Jin-Woo is never advisable, but crossing him when he’s already frustrated could be potentially risky.

Beyond simply threatening to take the man’s life, Jin-Woo set a deadline as well. If the man hadn’t handed himself over to the police by midnight, Jin-Woo made clear that he would carry out his threat without a moment’s pause. It is essential for fans to note that this incident doesn’t appear in the anime; instead, they should explore it further in the original comic or manhwa.

Park Jong-Soo vs. Hanekawa

Showdown Between Two A-Rankers

  • Manhwa Scene From Chapter 91

Top-tier hunters often don’t receive as much focus in the anime compared to S-rank hunters, even though they play a vital role in assisting powerful hunters and shielding civilians. However, the manhwa sets them apart by featuring unique and dramatic scenes for these hunters without Jin-Woo or any other superior-ranked hunter stealing their spotlight.

Before the fourth raid on Jeju Island commenced, an intense confrontation unfolded between Korean top-tier hunter Park Jong-Soo and his Japanese counterpart, Hanekawa. This encounter was not just a verbal dispute but also a pact for an intriguing one-on-one battle. The victor would be the one to grab the other’s wrist, signifying victory in the skirmish. In the end, Park Jong-Soo concluded the contest with ease, displaying his experienced hunter skills.

Jin-Woo Extracting the Ant Queen

He Releases It Eventually

  • Manhwa Scene From Chapter 106

In Solo Leveling Season 2, I find myself captivated by none other than the formidable Ant Queen! On Jeju Island, she’s not just a character but a force to be reckoned with. With a mother’s instinct driving her, she’s been working tirelessly to protect and nurture her offspring, even going so far as to mutate an entire ant colony to ensure their survival.

But that’s not all-she played a crucial role in the birth of the Ant King, who later made headlines for brutally slaying almost every Japanese S-rank hunter! Talk about making your mark on the world, right? She’s definitely one character you don’t want to cross paths with!

After the Ant Queen passed away, Solo Leveling Season 2 skipped over the manhwa’s depiction of Jin-Woo employing the shadow extraction ability on her. Jin-Woo had hoped that the Ant Queen could join his troops, but Beru clarified that she wouldn’t be useful to him. It would have been intriguing to witness an anime adaptation bring her shadow to life in this scenario.

Choi Jong-In’s Entrance to Jeju Island

The Ultimate Soldier’s Helicopter Jump

I, proudly known as Choi Jong-In, am Korea’s Ultimate Soldier, renowned for my fiery magic abilities that leave a trail of explosions in my wake! As the fearless leader of the Hunters Guild, I find myself squaring off against Baek Yoon-Ho of the White Tiger Guild. Though my intimidating demeanor might lead others to see me as a villain, I stand as one of Sung Jin-Woo’s steadfast allies – a beacon of support in his incredible journey. Despite our fierce rivalry, I recognize that Jin-Woo’s power surpasses mine, and I am more than willing to acknowledge my boundaries when it comes to facing him head-on.

Nevertheless, Choi Jong-In boasts some truly memorable scenes in the Solo Leveling comic series. One such moment occurred during the Jeju Island arc, where he leapt from a helicopter to explore the island while delivering one of his most striking lines. His actions made him seem like the protagonist, as he commenced the fourth ANT raid with his unmatched fire magic, illuminating the battlefield.
