From where I stand, it’s clear that Jinwoo’s shadows carry quite a punch – fans are well aware of this fact. Currently, he wields Iron, Tusk, Kaisel, and the universally adored Igris. The danger they pose to his adversaries is palpable, and much like their master, these shadows seem to be growing in strength over time.

It’s only a matter of time before Jinwoo expands his collection of shadows. And, the Ant King might even be an excellent choice for that purpose.

Will Jinwoo Raise The Shadow Of The Ant King?

Jinwoo Should Raise The Ant King As A Shadow

In pursuit of more potent shadows, Jinwoo currently faces some incredibly powerful entities. For lesser opponents, or “fodders,” Jinwoo can and should cultivate a few ants. However, when it comes to the stronger beings, Jinwoo needs to make an effort to grow the Ant King as his shadow.

Normally, Jinwoo has three chances to incorporate someone’s shadow into his collection. Once this happens, the shadow serves as a valuable asset and a faithful ally. It might seem hard to envision the Ant King as a subordinate, but remember that Jinwoo is significantly more powerful than him.

Following his victory over the Ant King, it can be anticipated that Jinwoo will now strive to elevate the Ant King into one of his shadows. Considering their power balance is relatively close and Jinwoo’s determination, fans should brace themselves for this attempt. Whether he ultimately succeeds or not remains to be uncovered.

How Strong Is Jinwoo At The End Of Season 2?

Jinwoo Would Be The Strongest So Far

Currently, Jinwoo stands as the strongest Hunter in South Korea, with only a handful who can come close to matching him in battle. His power has surged even more after defeating the Ant King, and there’s a chance that Jinwoo may be able to summon the Ant King as his shadow. If he succeeds in acquiring the Ant King’s shadow, it’s indisputable that he will become the most formidable Hunter character in the story.

Absolutely, there’s no definitive answer yet, but it’s plausible that Jinwoo could raise the Ant King, and it seems like a sensible choice given the circumstances. Fans won’t have to wait long to discover what transpires in Solo Leveling Season 2.
