Solo Leveling left no stone unturned in showcasing the physical and mental prowess of its leveling-up protagonist, Sung Jinwoo. In the latest anime episodes, we see the hero fighting one of the most powerful and toughest creatures in the series, the Ant King. So, it’s obvious that fans would be eager to know if Jinwoo is stronger than the mighty National Level Hunters in Solo Leveling. Well, we had the same doubts, so we have discussed the facts and shed light on them in this guide.
Sung Jinwoo Is Certainly Mightier Than Most National Level Hunters
National Level Hunters are said to be the most powerful hunters in the world of Solo Leveling, and reaching this level is not everyone’s cup of tea. An individual has to clear an S-Rank dungeon to acquire the title of a National Level Hunter.
In Solo Leveling, only five people could get this position, including Thomas Andre, Siddhartha Bacchan, Christopher Reed, Liu Zhigang, and Antoine Martinez (an unknown healer). Later, in the revised timeline, Jinwoo’s son, Sung Suho, becomes the first hunter to receive the National Level Hunter title.
While even the S-Rank hunters couldn’t reach up to a National Level Hunter’s might, Sung Jinwoo certainly surpasses their level in terms of power. The aforementioned hunters earned the moniker upon defeating Kamish after the first-ever S-Rank gate led to a dungeon break.
However, these Hunters had to fight collectively to clear the S-Rank Dungeon. On the other hand, Jinwoo himself tackled the Ant King in the S-Rank Jeju Island raid and defeated the monster ant without help from other Hunters. So, we can’t compare his might with that of the National Level Hunters.
Moreover, before taking full control of Shadow Monarch‘s powers, Jinwoo had the upper hand in the fight with Thomas Andre, the strongest National Level Hunter. The system kept on training Jinwoo by assigning him back-to-back quests, and that was why he continued leveling up.
There’s no limit to Jinwoo’s power, and he continues to get stronger after each fight, whereas there’s a limit to every other Hunter’s powers. Whenever things got ugly, Sung Jinwoo proved his worth to the mightiest hunters as well.
For instance, during the Hunters Guild Arc, it seemed that the S-Rank Orc Shaman and his minions would be the victors, but Jinwoo stepped in and turned the tables. To be honest, when the powers of even the strongest hunters failed, Jinwoo came to the rescue, and that’s why he gained a power level that even the national-level hunters couldn’t match.
Does Sung Jinwoo Become a National Level Hunter?
No, even after crossing the level and showcasing his powers in every dungeon, Sung Jinwoo never officially became a National Level Hunter in Solo Leveling.
Honestly, even this celebrated title couldn’t do justice to Jinwoo’s incredible powers, as not even a single National Level Hunter could rival him. He became the strongest being in the entire universe, whereas titles like these are only used for people who can’t grow in power after a certain level.
