Frequently, fans discuss and attempt to clarify these inconsistencies during debates. Yet, certain issues remain unsolved when there isn’t sufficient evidence available. One enduring enigma yet to be unraveled pertains to the true identity of the Fifth National Level Hunter.

Who Is The Fifth National Level Hunter?

The Identity Of This Characters Remains Unknown

The prestigious title of National-Level Hunter is awarded to those who successfully vanquished the colossal dragon Kamish, putting an end to its destructive rule. Known as the first S-rank gate’s overlord in America, Kamish was a relentless creature that took pleasure in annihilating any obstacles in its path. Many Hunters attempted to confront this beast, yet most met their demise in the process. Only five Hunters proved strong enough to defeat it. Four of these victors have been unveiled publicly:

  • Thomas Andre
  • Liu Zhigang
  • Christopher Reed
  • Siddharth Bachchan

In the series, the fifth Hunter is still unnamed and didn’t make an appearance. However, the author has shared some details about this enigmatic figure. Firstly, it’s been confirmed that he doesn’t possess any powers bestowed by the Rulers, which suggests his strength was naturally extraordinary. If he had received assistance from the Rulers, his power level would have skyrocketed. Secondly, it’s been confirmed that this character was a healer, implying he supported the other Hunters in their endeavors. It’s also speculated that he may have excelled physically; otherwise, he wouldn’t have withstood the fight against Kamish.

In the web novel, the specific character hasn’t been unveiled yet. However, there’s a possibility that the anime could introduce him during the forthcoming season. It’s common for anime series to incorporate additional details, often after discussions with the author of the original work. The timing depends on how many episodes are planned for the third season; fans might get to meet this character in a couple of years, given the episode count.

Was Sung Jinwoo A National Level Hunter In Season 2?

Although Sung Jinwoo excelled in Season 2, he wasn’t at the caliber of a National Level Hunter. However, he surpassed the standard of regular S-rank Hunters. Throughout Season 2, Sung Jinwoo accumulated several Shadows that proved instrumental to his success. Here are the Shadows he acquired:

This version aims to maintain the original meaning while using more natural and conversational language.

  • Iron
  • Tank
  • Fang
  • Kaisel
  • Beru

Among the five, Beru proved to be the most powerful. To conquer the Ant King on Jeju Island and resurrect him using Arise was a challenge faced by Sung Jinwoo. Upon revival, Beru swore allegiance to Jinwoo, addressing him as ‘King.’ The other Shadows that Jinwoo acquired weren’t inferior, but they couldn’t match the might of Beru.

In season 2, viewers witnessed Liu Zhigang in action. As a National-Level Hunter, he wielded his blade to annihilate a swarm of ants advancing towards China. The force of the attack was so immense that the ants dropped like fallen flies. This brief appearance served as evidence that Sung Jinwoo required further leveling up before he could engage in combat with a Hunter of national standing.

I’m prepared to face opposition from every Hunter worldwide, as long as it ensures the safety of my family.

In the second season, two new characters emerged as Monarchs – Rakan and Sillad. Their arrival signals potential trouble, and if protagonist Sung Jinwoo doesn’t step up his game, he may find himself in a tight spot. Our hero has obtained the key to the Cartenon Temple, which lies within the Double Dungeon. To delve deeper into his powers and discover why he was selected by the System, Jinwoo must journey to the temple. Fingers crossed that this event is explored further in the upcoming third season of the anime.
