When readers of the manhwa think about iconic moments from Solo Leveling, certain images of protagonist Sung Jin-woo come to mind. However, it may be that this moment does not make it into the anime.
Attention, spoiler! We describe a scene here that has not (yet) made it into the Solo Leveling anime. However, we deliberately refrain from detailing it too much to avoid significant spoilers.
What moment are we talking about? Due to an incident, protagonist Sung Jin-woo clashes with Thomas Andre, the strongest hunter from America. Thomas is preparing for battle and puts his guild in the background, prompting the Shadow Monarch Jin-woo to summon his army. As a further reaction, he gives the middle finger.
The middle finger itself can be seen in Chapter 146, with the backstory in Chapter 145. The moment has remained memorable for fans primarily because it triggers an extremely epic battle, during which one of the two contenders has to take a serious beating at the end.
About a month ago, fans on Reddit wondered whether the panel with the middle finger would even make it into the anime or if it would be censored. The video game for Solo Leveling now provides an answer to that.
Creators give the middle finger the middle finger
What are the chances that the middle finger will make it into the anime? Starting this month, fans of Solo Leveling can continue experiencing the story, which has only been seen in the anime up to Season 2, in the video game Solo Leveling Arise. The video game has now caught up with the anime story through content patches, which means scenes are shown that have not yet appeared in the series.
And indeed, a video on X shows that the middle finger did not make it into the video game. Thus, the chances are also slim that the panel will make it into the anime.
What do fans say about it? In the comments on X, some find that it was already clear from the beginning that the middle finger would be censored. Others, however, hope that the anime will handle this iconic moment differently than the video game.
What do you think? Is it annoying that some scenes in animes are censored, or do you not care if a specific scene is missing? Feel free to let us know in the comments. The first Pokémon movie also had to suffer from cut content: One of the best scenes from the first Pokémon movie was never seen in Germany, completely changing how you know Mewtwo
