Discover the Most Heroic Characters in Solo Leveling You Never Knew About!

Summary

Woo Jin-Chul: A courageous leader with unwavering moral sense who stands up to powerful hunters.
Lee Joo-Hee: A timid healer who shows inner strength by confronting fears and supporting others.
Sung Jin-Woo: Initially the weakest hunter, he evolves to protect others with heroic selflessness.

In this world, mysterious gateways to other realms inhabited by monsters opened up years ago. At the same time, individuals who once led ordinary lives discovered extraordinary abilities to vanquish these creatures, earning them the title of “hunters.” This period was characterized by strife and uncertainty as a result.

In situations where terrifying creatures lurked, it was common to witness extraordinary acts of courage from individuals. Among numerous characters who have bravely battled in adversity, these six individuals truly embody selflessness and bravery to the maximum extent.

In other words, the list features characters who have already appeared in the animated series because, logically speaking, the parts of the comic that haven’t been turned into an anime yet are disregarded. This is due to the fact that those who only watch the anime aren’t familiar with any future storylines or new characters introduced in those unadapted segments.

6. Woo Jin-Chul

Class: Fighter

As an ardent admirer, let me tell you about Woo Jin-Chul – a top-tier Hunter, known for his stern composure and unshakable sense of duty. I’ve always respected this man who stands firm against the self-serving Hunters, those who are ready to throw others under the bus in pursuit of their own interests. Woo Jin-Chul, in the face of overwhelming pressure, has consistently shown remarkable courage and an unyielding moral compass that leaves me in awe.

When Hwang Dong-Soo lands in Korea on a quest for Sung Jin-Woo and Yoo Jin-Ho, he confronts an S-rank hunter within his jurisdiction. Later, Dong-Soo nearly initiates a physical altercation with Baek Yoon-Ho, but Jin-Chul, who is less powerful than both combatants, steps up bravely to separate them, thus averting potential bloodshed and possibly saving lives.

5. Lee Joo-Hee

The B-Rank Healer Who Struggled Against Her Inner Demons

Class: Healer

One might not initially view Lee Joo-hee as a heroic figure due to her past struggles with handling pressure within dungeons. However, real heroism lies in overcoming one’s fears and standing tall in the face of life’s toughest battles. Despite enduring a harrowing ordeal in the twin dungeon herself, Lee bravely steps forward to lend a hand when her town is threatened by a dungeon breach and a healer is urgently needed.

Later, she consents to participate in another venture alongside some of the remaining individuals from the twin catastrophe known as the Double Dungeon Disaster, when Kang betrays everyone and murders Kim Sangshik and Kang Jeongho. With her life at risk and her previous hardships casting a heavy shadow over her, Joo-Hee stands by Song Chi-Yul during his battle against Tae-shik. Her bravery in unusual circumstances, despite her shy disposition, serves as a potent demonstration of her inner fortitude and heroism that warrants greater recognition.

4. Chae Hae-In

The Powerful Hunter With A Heart Of Gold

Class: Fighter

Chae Hae-in, renowned throughout Korea, stands as an emblem of elegance and strength among S-rank hunters. Adored by fans nationwide, her esteemed status reflects the trust and respect she’s earned through her honesty, unwavering commitment, and devotion.

How could I ever tell him…I want you by my side until I draw my last breath?

Despite her demanding life full of heavy duties, Hae-in selflessly offers aid to the general populace, much like a genuine hero, without asking for anything in return. Similarly, Chae displays remarkable humility and consistently prioritizes the welfare of fellow guild members.

3. Yoo Jin-Ho

The Heir Of The Yoojin Construction Corporation

Anime Debut: Episode 1
Webnovel Debut: Chapter 37
Class: Tanker

Originally hailing from an affluent family background, Yoo Jin-Ho, who holds a D-Rank hunter status, harbors ambition beyond his family business. He aims to establish a reputation for himself. In the C-Rank dungeon, he encountered Sung Jin-Woo and both decided to join Hwang Dongsuk’s strike team, with the intention of meeting their quota requirements. However, when Dongsuk and his companions turned against them, Jin-Ho found himself in a predicament where betraying Sung Jin-Woo was presented as a means to save his own life.

In that situation, Yoo Jin-Ho failed to grasp the true strength of his partner who had recently slain the dungeon’s boss. It would have been wiser for him to betray Sung Jin-Woo to preserve his life, considering Hwang Dongsuk’s strike team included skilled hunters who appeared formidable. However, despite the overwhelming odds being stacked against him, Yoo Jin-Ho demonstrated courage and chose to stand by Jin-Woo. His choices in critical situations reflect his unwavering moral character.

2. Song Chi-Yul

The Failed Leader Who Was Willing To Die For Others

Anime Debut: Episode 1
Webnovel Debut: Chapter 2
Class: Mage

Song Chi-Yul is a seasoned C-rank hunter, known for his unwavering sense of responsibility. He was once the commander of a disastrous joint expedition into two dungeons that ended in disaster, resulting in the loss of many gifted hunters. Even in those dire circumstances, he selflessly offered to lay down his life at the altar to shield Sung Jin-Woo and Lee Joo-Hee. Following the incident where he lost an arm, Song expressed regret and took blame for his failure as a leader and his inability to safeguard his companions.

I’d like to spend what I have left contributing to society.

Despite enduring such a harrowing ordeal, Chi-Yul chose to take up another journey, one that supposedly held less risk. However, when Kang Tae-Shik embarked on a violent spree, Song bravely confronted the killer without his arm. His selfless bravery in shielding Sung Jin-Woo and Lee Joo-Hee from harm could have ended disastrously if not for the timely intervention of the former. Though Song might have unwittingly led his companions to their demise within the double dungeon, he remained, at heart, a devoted guardian who was prepared to sacrifice himself for others.

1. Sung Jin-Woo

The Weakest Hunter Who Protected Others

Anime Debut: Episode 1
Webnovel Debut: Chapter 1
Class: Mage

Before Sung Jin-Woo‘s second transformation, he often took risks to earn money for his family, even though it meant putting himself in danger. In the double dungeon, he willingly offered himself as a sacrifice to save others, despite being ridiculed as the weakest hunter. The heroic qualities of Sung Jin-Woo were not something that emerged after his superhuman transformation, but rather they were inherent in his character from the very start.

In a stunning turn of events, Jin-Woo’s second awakening granted him abilities far exceeding his initial expectations. Despite frequently finding himself in precarious situations, he consistently protected others and saved numerous lives throughout his journey. Admittedly, the system and circumstances compelled him to take actions that raised eyebrows, but Jin-Woo was never the aggressor; instead, he found himself on the receiving end of a series of unfavorable events. Reflecting upon those choices later, he understood that they would indelibly alter his life’s path.

In keeping with his heroic persona, Sung Jin-Woo consistently supported the least powerful hunters during challenging situations, demonstrating that true strength lies not only in physical power but also in one’s character.
