Solo Leveling Season 2 Is Improving Jinwoo’s Relationships with Original Scenes

The Anime Is Improving Solo Leveling's Supporting Characters

Although Solo Leveling season 2 continues to skip content from the manhwa to adapt as many chapters as possible, the anime also included original scenes to improve the characterization of Jinwoo and his relationships. In Solo Leveling's manhwa chapter #79, Jinho is kicked out of his house by his father, while in the anime he decides to leave to assume responsibility, which makes him a more respectful character. Also, when Jinho asked Jinwoo to crash at his place, he wasn’t as kindly received in the manhwa, being slapped in the face by the door and having to go to a motel.

Yet in the anime, Jinwoo lets him sleep in his room and even uses him as an excuse for his absence. Even though it was a funny moment in the manhwa, the change showcases better the brotherly bond between Jinwoo and Jinho. Additionally, the anime also includes an endearing scene of Lee Joohee’s reaction after finding out about Jinwoo’s new rank, which points out how much his past relationships still care for him. Nevertheless, fans should tune in to the next episode to watch one of the most hyped fights of Jinwoo in Solo Leveling Season 2.
