Solo Leveling Season 3 May Skip Chibi Beru – But Fans Remain Hopeful for a Surprise Cameo
Beru, the Ant King-turned-loyal-shadow, is a scene-stealer, if Solo Leveling fans can agree on that. However, it wasn’t just Beru’s extraordinary strength or his fervent devotion to Sung Jinwoo that won people over. Throughout the manhwa, the cute, diminutive version, Chibi Beru, made amusing and endearing cameos “Solo Leveling Season 3 May Skip Chibi Beru – But Fans Remain Hopeful for a Surprise Cameo”.
Fans are now becoming a little anxious as the anime prepares for its third season. Since there are no obvious indications of Chibi Beru’s inclusion in the trailers, early promotional materials, or pacing choices, the internet is ablaze with a question that may seem trivial (literally), but it has a lot of emotional weight:
Will Chibi Beru be skipped in Solo Leveling Season 3?
Let’s examine why this is so important and why fans are still hoping for an unexpected appearance.

🐜 Who is Chibi Beru, and Why Do Fans Love Him So Much?
For those who don’t know, Chibi Beru is a “miniature” or chibi-style representation of Beru that makes appearances in humorous, lighthearted Solo Leveling webtoon moments. When he interacts with Jinwoo or the other members of the Shadow Army in a cute or goofy way, he frequently appears in his super-deformed form for comedic effect .
However, Chibi Beru is more than just a visual joke. He is the gentler aspect of Beru’s otherwise menacing demeanor. One moment, Beru is destroying foes with frightful speed and accuracy; the next, he is pouting in a corner when left alone or fretting anxiously about Jinwoo’s safety. He becomes more human as a result of these encounters, and Jinwoo consequently feels more human. A brooding Shadow Monarch who has a weakness for an overly eager bug is, after all, the epitome of relatability Solo Leveling.
🎬 What We Know About Season 3 (So Far)
Little official information about Chibi Beru’s role in Season 3 has been released thus far. Although Jinwoo’s trip to the United States and the emergence of more serious international threats (such as the Monarchs) are anticipated to be covered in the series, the tone of the next arcs is noticeably darker and more intense.
And part of the issue is that.
Comedic moments like those with Chibi Beru might be cut as the anime shifts its focus more toward action, lore, and endgame plot threads. For pacing purposes, this would not be the first time an adaptation omitted extraneous material or streamlined character moments. And while that makes sense to a lot of fans, it’s still disappointing.
To put it plainly, one Reddit user said:
“It’s not just about comedy. Chibi Beru is the soul of the series’ emotional balance. Take him out, and it all feels a bit… colder.”
💬 The Fan Response: Hope, Humor, and a Little Heartbreak
Concern over Chibi Beru’s absence has generated a lot of conversation among fan communities on Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), Discord, and anime forums. There are memes. There is fan art online. “Will Chibi Beru appear?” polls have asked. with findings strongly indicating “We hope so!”
Some fans are ignoring it:
“Maybe they’re just saving him for a fun post-credits scene. That would be such an Oda-style move—totally unexpected but delightful Solo Leveling.”
Others are more worried:
“I’ll be honest. If they cut Chibi Beru, I’ll still watch… but I’ll definitely feel the loss. He’s that important.”
It’s interesting to note that tone is more important here than any one character. The Solo Leveling webtoon’s rhythm was created by striking a balance between quiet, humorous moments and epic battles. The worry is that Season 3 might become overly somber without those breaks for humor.
🧢 Why Chibi Beru Matters in the Bigger Picture
Let’s be honest: Solo Leveling is renowned for its epic character development and jaw-dropping action, but what really sets it apart is the way it balances that intensity with warmth. Moments like Jinwoo eating with his sister or a shadow insect having a little outburst give the story heart.
With minimal screen time, Chibi Beru accomplishes a lot. He serves as a reminder that even shadow soldiers have personalities, eccentricities, and emotions. He emphasizes that Sung Jinwoo is a person who genuinely cares for his subordinates, despite the fact that they are bug-shaped, rather than merely being a chilly, sulky anti-hero.
Chibi Beru’s delicate emotional storytelling, which contributed to its popularity, could be lost if it is cut Solo Leveling.
🔮 Could a Surprise Cameo Still Happen?
Even though official materials have said nothing about Chibi Beru, many fans are still holding out hope for a surprise appearance, and to be honest, there are good reasons to think it might happen.
Anime adaptations frequently postpone humorous or poignant moments until later in the season. There is still plenty of opportunity for Chibi Beru to shine without taking away from the main plot, whether it is in a dream sequence, a post-credits gag scene, or even a humorous intermission moment.
According to one industry insider, “there are moments of levity sprinkled throughout Season 3,” which many are taking to mean that “yes, we know you want the bug, and maybe you’ll get the bug.”
Now picture a dramatic finale, followed by a subdued post-credits scene. Jinwoo comes home. The shadows align. And there’s Chibi Beru, pouting because he wasn’t called upon in combat. A little dance, some mellow music, and fans going crazy on the internet.
It is very much within the realm of possibility and is not merely wishful thinking.
👥 The Role of the Fandom
It’s crucial to emphasize how engaged and fervent the Solo Leveling fandom has grown. This community has made Chibi Beru a movement through voice-over memes, fan comics, and petitions. And production companies take notice of that kind of involvement.
Indeed, anime adaptations have previously been impacted by fandom feedback. Subtle (or not-so-subtle) changes have been made to shows like Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, and My Hero Academia in response to fan feedback. There’s a genuine possibility that the creators will pay attention if enough people keep advocating for Chibi Beru, even if it’s just a playful nod.
✨ Final Thoughts: A Bug-Sized Hole in Our Hearts?
Will Chibi Beru actually be skipped in Solo Leveling Season 3?
It’s unclear at the moment. However, one thing is for sure: fans give a damn. Because he embodies the emotional center of a narrative that has always been more than just battle scenes and level-ups, not just because he’s funny or adorable.
A brief flash of light, provided by a tiny, buzzing shadow, could help keep the series emotionally grounded even if Season 3 veers toward darker territory.
What if Chibi Beru doesn’t show up? Through artwork, memes, and wishful thinking, we can be certain that the fandom will carry on the tradition.
Because sometimes we only need a small bug to remind us of the spirit that created the spectacle.
