Solo Leveling has grown into one of the biggest and most popular anime in the world. The series has enjoyed unprecedented success with just two seasons, which is nothing less than shocking. Like most anime, Solo Leveling has a source material that A-1 Pictures used to create the anime.
Solo Leveling: 6 Most Heroic Characters In The Anime, Ranked
These characters are by far the most heroic in the Solo Leveling anime series so far.
The studio's efforts helped create a world that would be remembered fondly by anime fans. While A-1 Pictures tried its best to stick to the manhwa, there were times when the studio made changes. Thankfully, none of them were too big to become a dealbreaker. Fans who are eager to know the changes made by the anime have come to the right place.
This post contains spoilers for Solo Leveling.
Jinwoo Personally Fed The Hunters On Jeju Island
Jinwoo Was Made To Look More Caring In The Anime
During the Jeju Island arc, the Korean Hunters were brutally beaten up by Beru. The Ant King was far superior to them in terms of speed as well as strength, which made it nearly impossible for the Hunters to defend themselves from his attacks. When Jinwoo arrived at their location, he was shocked to see them in such a sad state.
So, he began feeding them a potion that would help them recover. He also used the potion on Cha Hae-in, but it didn't work because she was severely injured. Additionally, there was a short recap where Jinwoo remembered how the potion didn't work on him. This was exclusive to the anime, and none of it happened in the manhwa. However, fans can't have any complaints about the addition.
The System Nearly Ordered Jinwoo To Kill Goto
Goto Ryuji Could Have Died Before The Raid Even Began
Before the Jeju Island raid began, the Korean and Japanese Hunters engaged in a sparring session. When things got heated, Goto Ryuji and Sung Jinwoo also got involved. Every Hunter in the area was aware of Goto Ryuji's strength because he was the strongest Hunter from Japan. On the other hand, Sung Jinwoo didn't have the same level of respect.
8 Most Brutal Fights In Solo Leveling, Ranked
The fights in Solo Leveling are spectacles that must be seen to be believed, but they can also be very brutal, especially in the case of these fights.
As the two began dueling, it became clear that things might get out of hand soon. In the manhwa, the System was about to send out an emergency request to kill Goto Ryuji. However, in the anime, this particular instance was cut out.
Goto Ryuji Was Spooked By Jinwoo
Jinwoo Scared Goto In The Manhwa
Goto Ryuji was the strongest Japanese Hunter, and, naturally, he was confident in his abilities. He was not impressed after seeing the Korean Hunters sparring and was optimistic that he would beat them without any trouble. But things changed when Sung Jinwoo joined the fray.
Goto Ryuji still maintained his cool demeanor while engaging Jinwoo. But it soon became evident that Jinwoo was a cut above any Hunter in the room, including Goto Ryuji. In the manhwa, Goto Ryuji was spooked by Jinwoo's immense energy, but the anime removed the part. The decision was likely taken to maintain the hype around the most powerful Japanese Hunter, especially with the Jeju Island raid coming up.
Cha Hae-in's Early Debut
Cha Hae-in Appeared Early In The Anime
Cha Hae-in is among the most well-known Solo Leveling characters. She is adored by the masses because of her design and abilities. The studio knew that Cha Hae-in would be a hit, which is why it decided to make her debut in the very first episode of the anime. That's right, Cha Hae-in was introduced way too early in the anime.
8 Strongest A-Level Hunters In Solo Leveling
A-rank Hunters are the front line of defense but lack the god complexes and narcissism of S-Rank hunters. Here are the strongest.
Meanwhile, Cha Hae-in doesn't appear in the light novel until the 81st chapter. In the manhwa, she debuted in the 65th chapter. So, fans who started reading the light novel or the manhwa had to wait much longer to see Cha Hae-in in action. A-1 Pictures deserves a lot of credit for its choice in this case.
Giving Side Characters More Screen Time
Side Characters Are More Interesting In The Anime
Many times, an anime adaptation improves on the quality of the side characters by giving them more screen time than the original source, and Solo Leveling is not an exception. A-1 Pictures knew exactly which characters would benefit from additional appearances.
Throughout the two seasons, side characters have been given more lines and screen time, which has helped them stand out more and elevate the story as well. Lee Joohee is one such character who has massively benefited from the extra time. The anime helped to highlight Lee Joohee's inner struggles and how she dealt with them, making her even more popular with the audience.
Sung Jinwoo's Personality Was Changed
Jinwoo Is More Dangerous In The Manhwa
Sung Jinwoo is the main character of Solo Leveling, and naturally, the focus is always on him. If the lead is not good enough, the anime's chances of becoming popular are significantly lowered. In the manhwa, Jinwoo's personality is a bit more callous. He is focused on revenge and gets angry more often.
The anime toned down his fury and turned him into a calmer person. Sung Jinwoo also thinks about the System and its implications on his life and personality. Suffice it to say, A-1 Pictures made the correct choice yet again by sticking to a more amiable personality for the hero.
