Solo Leveling’s Sung Jinwoo Is Strong, But These Anime Characters Can Easily Beat Him

by

This article contains spoilers for Solo Leveling Season 2.

Currently, Solo Leveling is a hugely popular anime, and fans will agree it’s been making waves for the past year. While the story is well-written, the series’ success really comes down to its incredible action sequences and the incredibly powerful main character, Sung Jinwoo. Everyone knows Jinwoo is exceptionally strong and his ability to constantly grow in power is amazing. However, despite his strength, he’s not invincible, and many other anime characters could potentially defeat him.

Just so you know, when I talk about Jinwoo, I’m focusing on his portrayal in Season 2 of the *Solo Leveling* anime. I’m leaving out details from the web novel and the manhwa for now – it’s all about the anime for me!

Saitama

The Protagonist of One Punch Man

When people talk about incredibly powerful characters, Saitama from *One Punch Man* is often the first example. It’s no surprise many believe he could defeat Jinwoo, and even surpass him in strength. Considering how easily Saitama handled opponents like Cosmic Garou, it’s clear he would likely win a fight between the two, possibly without even needing to use his full power.

Rimuru

The Protagonist of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Rimuru Tempest is a fascinating character, and many believe his abilities would be a strong match for Jinwoo’s. Rimuru is a highly strategic fighter, carefully analyzing his opponents. He uses his powerful spells to simplify battles, always choosing the most effective approach. Plus, Rimuru can absorb his enemies, and considering Jinwoo’s power level at the end of Solo Leveling Season 2, this would likely give Rimuru a significant advantage.

Yhwach

A Villain From Bleach

One of the strongest aspects of *Bleach* is its incredibly powerful characters, and Yhwach is among the most formidable. Fans recognize Yhwach as an overwhelmingly strong opponent, making a comparison to Season 2 Jinwoo unfair. Yhwach possesses abilities like *The Almighty*, which lets him control fate, but even that wouldn’t be needed against Jinwoo. If he faced any trouble, Yhwach could simply alter reality and shift to a universe where he’s winning. Ultimately, Jinwoo doesn’t have anything that could effectively counter Yhwach’s immense power.

Vegeta

The Deuteragonist of Dragon Ball

No discussion of strong anime characters is complete without mentioning Dragon Ball, and Vegeta is definitely a contender in a fight against Jinwoo. Vegeta’s immense Saiyan power and ability to transform and become even stronger make him a likely victor. He might even be able to defeat Jinwoo without using his transformations at all.

Vegeta is incredibly powerful and has many forms he can use in battle. He can quickly become a Super Saiyan, and if that’s not enough, he has even stronger transformations like Super Saiyan 2, 3, and God. He can also utilize Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue, and for a truly overwhelming attack, he can unleash his Ultra Ego form.

Goku

The Protagonist of Dragon Ball

Similar to Vegeta, Goku could easily defeat Sung Jinwoo, particularly the version from Season 2 of *Solo Leveling*. As a Saiyan, Goku can transform into various powerful forms. Even his standard Super Saiyan form would likely be enough to win against Jinwoo, but he has many other transformations available as well. Unlike Vegeta’s Ultra Ego, Goku possesses Ultra Instinct, a special ability that makes him incredibly difficult to hit.

Currently, there are 25 episodes of *Solo Leveling* available – the first season has 12 episodes and the second has 13. You can watch both seasons on Crunchyroll. If you’re eager for more content before season 3 arrives, reading the original *Manhwa* is a good way to continue the story.
