Summary

  • Sung Jinwoo’s gradual strength progression is showcased through impressive feats like weakening a Stone Golem undetected.
  • Jinwoo’s encounters with enemies like Baruka, Kargalgan, and Baran highlight his unmatched strength and his shadow soldiers’ effectiveness.
  • Other prominent characters, like Liu Zhugang and the Ant King, have effectively showcased their immense power throughout the series.

Solo Leveling is arguably the largest and most widely appreciated power fantasy anime in recent years, as A-1 Pictures’ impressive adaptation of Chu-gong and Jang Sung-rak’s original manhwa centers around protagonist Sung Jinwoo and his progression towards becoming significantly stronger than any other hunter in existence. This enhancement is facilitated by the enigmatic player system he unlocked, which aids him in leveling up.

Consequently, both seasons of this anime are brimming with legendary moments that showcase the immense power possessed by Jinwoo and other characters, with the following instances being particularly noteworthy thus far. It goes without saying that the Solo Leveling manhwa also boasts numerous awe-inspiring displays of power yet to be animated; however, this discussion will concentrate exclusively on the anime.

8. Weakening The Stone Golem Without Anyone Noticing

Instead of instantly becoming incredibly powerful upon awakening the system, Jinwoo had to put in the hard work and level up if he wanted to grow stronger. Consequently, his initial days with the system demanded a great deal of effort, reaching a point where even an Instant Dungeon posed challenges as he fought both its common enemies and its boss. Despite his slow progress, at least he could finally showcase his newly-acquired power upon returning from the dungeon.

A colossal Stone Golem emerged from a lower-tier gate, giving the hunters a tough time as they struggled to deplete its mana reserves. To put his newly augmented might to the test, Jinwoo hurled his shattered blade at the beast, effortlessly breaching its defenses, thus enabling the other hunters to deliver the final blow. What made this feat truly captivating was that the strike was so swift that it went unnoticed by everyone except Lee Johee. However, this marked the first time Jinwoo’s power was genuinely showcased in an impressive manner throughout the series.

7. Murdering All The Lizards

As a devoted fan, I’ve been captivated by the show from its early episodes, where our protagonist, Sung Jinwoo, solely battled and vanquished monsters without ever contemplating using his might against human adversaries. But everything shifted dramatically when I ventured into the Insects Dungeon alongside Hwang Dongsuk and his group, self-styled “Lizards” who were notorious for slaying innocent souls within these labyrinths. This was a realm where no outsider could witness the atrocities that unfolded inside.

To begin with, the Lizards attempted to corner Jinwoo and Jinho in the boss chamber, intending for Buryura to eliminate them so they could retrieve valuable assets. However, Jinwoo managed to vanquish the colossal spider, demonstrating a remarkable display of power. When their original strategy fell through, the Lizards decided to take matters into their own hands and attempt to slay the two D-Rank hunters. This action triggered the system to assign Jinwoo a new mission, compelling him to defend himself by eliminating his assailants. This act of self-defense was particularly unsettling for Jinwoo, given he was now armed with extraordinary strength. Yet, he effortlessly and decisively overpowered all of them, clearly showcasing that he was far superior in power compared to typical hunters.

6. Taking Down Baruka’s Army By Himself

At the onset of Season 2, I found myself among a group of hunters venturing into what appeared to be a C-Rank dungeon. To our astonishment, however, it turned out to be a perilous Red Gate dungeon instead. As the only individual with the strength to endure such danger, I courageously shielded those few companions who chose to accompany me.

Initially, Jinwoo found himself face to face with Baruka, the Ice Elves’ chief, a formidable adversary who had already dispatched all other hunters within the dungeon. The mighty boss monster proved challenging, but Jinwoo swiftly retaliated by slaying his strongest solider in an instant, then proceeded to overpower the rest of Baruka’s troops effortlessly. Ultimately, Jinwoo single-handedly defeated all Ice Elves and their leader, having no need for assistance from the weaker hunters present within the dungeon. This encounter also served as a chance to test his newly obtained shadow soldiers, an essential element in gaining an edge during this battle.

5. Defeating Kargalgan And His High Orc Army

Season 2 began with Jinwoo demonstrating his newfound power against Baruka’s Ice Elf army, but things really heated up during the Hunters Guild Gate Arc. Here, he single-handedly took down Kargalgan, a formidable High Orc shaman who was in charge of an A-Rank dungeon. Kargalgan and his large army had taken captive the members of the Hunters Guild who were attempting to raid it.

In a fortunate turn of events, Sung Jinwoo swiftly unveiled his hidden might to safeguard them and vanquish the boss monster. With his shadow soldiers by his side, the protagonist overpowered Kargalgan’s troops, even managing to seize their shadows to produce High Orc soldiers for himself. Kargalgan was a formidable sorcerer capable of weaving various offensive, defensive, and aid spells, yet Jinwoo managed to slay him nonetheless, transforming him into the Tusk – the new commander of his shadow legion. It goes without saying that this demonstration of power by Jinwoo is among the most remarkable in the entire anime series, and the Hunters Guild had the privilege of witnessing it firsthand.

4. Killing A Swarm Of Ants With One Attack

Indeed, it’s not just Sung Jinwoo who showcases immense power in “Solo Leveling.” In fact, at the close of Season 2, a horde of ants from Jeju Island made their way to Chinese waters. However, these ants were halted by none other than China’s most powerful S-Rank hunter, Liu Zhugang.

In a single swift and effortless move, he wiped out the entire hive of enemies, demonstrating his deserving nature for such an esteemed title. Given that global elite fighters like him will undoubtedly shape upcoming series in the anime, it was strategically smart to insert this scene into the finale, effectively emphasizing that there are still numerous warriors on par with Jinwoo at the top tier.

3. The Final Punch Against Baran

  • Episode 21 (Anime) Chapter 88 (Manhwa)

To accomplish the quest of conquering the Demon Castle and creating the Elixir of Everlasting Life, Jinwoo had to vanquish Baran, the Demon King. This epic battle showcased an amazing array of extravagant attacks, special skills, and immense power, mirroring the formidable might of both combatants. However, the climactic final blow was the most breathtaking moment.

Using the aid of his shadows (alongside Esil Radiru), Jinwoo managed to deliver a powerful uppercut to Baran’s jaw as the Demon King was preparing to unleash his lightning breath. This decisive blow not only knocked Baran unconscious but also caused an immense explosion that even dispersed the clouds in the sky. At the time, neither Jinwoo nor the spectators were aware that the Baran they defeated atop the Demon Castle was a construct of one of the most powerful entities in the entire cosmos. Looking back on it now, his triumph is all the more remarkable.

2. Defeating The Japanese And South Korean S-Rankers

  • Episode 23 (Anime) Chapter 88 (Manhwa)

In a power-packed series like Solo Leveling, when the overpowering protagonist needs a formidable challenge, they often introduce an adversary who is nearly as strong, and then have this character perform something extraordinary that showcases their immense danger. This was precisely what transpired during the Jeju Island Arc with the Ant King: every Guild in South Korea united, even summoning Japan’s top hunters to eradicate the ant colony on the island forever. However, they were unaware that the Ant Queen had just given birth to her strongest and deadliest offspring.

Just born, the Ant Monarch demonstrated immense strength, speed, ruthlessness, and the ability to harness magical powers from those he devoured. In no time at all, he eliminated top-tier Japanese hunters like Goto Ryuji, and subsequently defeated South Korean S-Rankers such as Cha Hae-In, Baek Yoonho, Choi Jong-In, and Min Byung-Gyu. This formidable creature took down some of the world’s most powerful hunters single-handedly, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Had it not been for Sung Jinwoo’s arrival to confront and ultimately defeat the Ant Monarch, the situation might have turned dire indeed.

1. Saving Everyone At Jeju Island

  • Episode 24 (Anime) Chapter 105 (Manhwa)

It’s indisputable that the Ant King is the most formidable monster to appear in the anime (thus far), as he came incredibly close to halting the Jeju Island Raid and expanding his horde of ant monsters globally. However, when all seemed lost, Sung Jinwoo chose to disregard his pledge and swiftly made his way to the island utilizing his Shadow Exchange power.

In a nutshell, Jinwoo proved himself to be an unparalleled force within the series by single-handedly defeating the formidable Ant King. Remarkably, he achieved this feat without enlisting the aid of his shadow soldiers and even utilized the Ant King’s own shadow to create Beru. To add further to his accomplishments, Jinwoo commanded his army to eradicate every last ant that swarmed both Jeju Island and its surroundings. By the day’s end, not only had he ensured everyone’s safety, but he also annihilated the entire ant colony – a feat that even two countries working together with thousands of human hunters could not achieve. This victory solidified Jinwoo as the most powerful character in the series and the only one capable of confronting any future extraterrestrial threats.
