Solo Leveling Voice Actor Allegedly Coughed Blood After Recording His Voice Lines For Episode 2

Solo Leveling, a widely popular Korean manhwa, is currently in the process of being adapted into an anime by A1 Pictures. The manhwa boasts a significantly large fanbase that eagerly anticipated the release of the anime series.

Given the high expectations from Solo Leveling fans regarding the animation quality, A1 Studio is putting forth its best efforts to uphold production standards. The entire cast is approaching their roles in the project with great seriousness. However, this dedication took a surprising turn with the latest news concerning the main voice actor.

Similar to premieres of other anime series, Solo Leveling also had exclusive initial premieres featuring guests from the cast and production team. During one of these broadcasts, the show's director, Shunsuke Nakashige, shared the startling news about Taito Ban.

Some sources suggest that the incident of Taito Ban coughing blood occurred during the recording of a fight scene in episode 2 of Solo Leveling. However, other sources claim that the bloody scream he made was actually for episode 4, depicting a battle between Jin-Woo and a snake in the series.

What Happened in Solo Leveling Episode 2?

The second episode of Solo Leveling adapted arguably the most popular scene from the manhwa—the fight with the God Statue in the double-dungeon. Fans were thrilled to witness this captivating battle brought to life through the anime. Simultaneously, those who hadn't read the manhwa and experienced the scene for the first time through the anime felt the full force of its fear and intensity.

The newest episode of Solo Leveling was remarkably well-produced, leaving the audience satisfied with its breathtaking scenes. A significant part of the episode's success can be attributed to the emotions conveyed by Jin-Woo, skillfully portrayed through Taito's voice. His acting was phenomenal, adding an unexpected level of horror to Jin-Woo's sacrifice.

Rewatching the episode after hearing this news adds a whole different level of disturbance to it. Jin-woo's screams were so intense that it wouldn't be surprising if it turns out to be true that the blood-coughing incident happened during a recording session for episode 2.

Despite fans' serious concerns about Taito Ban's well-being, the passion he brings to his acting only amplifies the excitement for the upcoming episodes. We are all more than excited to see what unfolds in episode 4 of Solo Leveling and whether the hinted fight there will be as intense as the one in episode 2.
