Top Five STRONGEST Hunters in Solo Leveling!

[@skilletamy]

My biggest gripe with Solo Leveling, is that after a certain point, everyone is damn near useless

[@boredSoloDev]

that's pretty much most good anime which big casts and a crazy power scaling system. There is always like.. a small handful of people who are so crazy strong it makes everyone else useless.

[@user-xw4mu6nz4t]

Boruto right now is just that. Fire Force is just that. Many mainstream anime is just that. Weak MC becomes so strong that everyone else is beyond weak.

[@crowing3886]

​@user-xw4mu6nz4t That's exactly why they aren't good anime lol. The issue is powercreeping every damn episode to only one person is boring writing. Which is why solo leveling has no real story. After saving his mom the story is over. An it's just new threat or gate only jin can defeat. All it has is the fights an everyone they hyped does or loses lol

[@churrolini3084]

Like every anime out there

[@lanlingwang8489]

[@printornkordumrong9926]

Hello. This may be a hot take but I personally have found solo levelling's story to be lacklustre. I was really excited to read a story where the main character started as the weakest and you see their journey to become stronger- i even bought the manwa to read- but I feel that jinwoo's character arc after he is given power over the system to be too smooth as he has the overpowered hero trope but without something to make him interesting from a narrative point of view other than the vague and undemonstrated idea that he was slowly losing his humanity. Saitama and hibino kafka for example are interesting overpowered characters because they struggle with moral dilemmas, saitama struggling with the monotony of being too strong and the emptiness of achieving ones goals while kafka needs to be stronger as a human and not just as a kaiju, but sung only goes from strength to strength without any real struggle, especially after he gets his arise powers. It was after his fight with igris then the dark elves that i started to notice the fact that sung when confronted with a stronger enemy would either just stab them in the eye or just punched them real hard which personally feels very narratively unsatisfying because its just kind of boring and repetitive. Although a manwa having clever ways of resolving the contflict isnt always necessary, the fact that the premise of the story is sung working hard and strategically to level up means that you would at least expect there to be more emphasis on clever strategy or at least emphasis on how his drive to win in an arguably dishonorable way makes him morally questionnable. But the story makes no effort to cast this moral dilemma on sung as everyone he meets is just impressed by him or fancies him which is very main isekai character typical, which i honestly expected more from. I think it wouldve gone done easier for me if sung has any demonstrable character traits of interest, but i personally cant find any except for wants to protect family in a generic way and is edgy now. I actually preferred him as his old happy go lucky struggling self but who he is now is super generic and if its to show that killing and doing what he does killed his innocence I am unsatisfied with how it is presented. Anyway thats a long post but ive been holding this in for a while now 😅 I of course dont have anything against people who do enjoy solo levelling and I do really think the artwork of the manwa is fantastic and the arise powers is extremely interesting- but the plot and character of jung just doesnt captivate me. I enjoy hearing your takes on things so in the unlikely event that you see this id love to hear what you think.

[@joanjorge566]

Imma need the source for that 31 S rank hunters. Since Japan had like 12 in one guild and South Korea has 7 so that’s 19, there’s no way the rest of the world combined has only 12 more S rank hunters. Edit: never mind you said that we know of, that means named S rank hunters only. That makes more sense.

[@spartan1347981]

There's most likely around 100-200 in the world total

[@spartan1347981]

In fact, I just did a quick maths check, Korea has a population of 50Mil, they've produced roughly 10 S rank hunters we know about. (Which means Japan should have about 25 with a population of 125mil). If the world population at the time of writing was a conservative 7.5 Billion, then there should be a worldwide population of S rank hunters of about 1,500. Though this could be skewed since for some reason in universe Korea is a place of high incidence of gates and stuff I believe was mentioned. So even if only half that average incidence rate of S rank hunters per population means 750 S rank hunters in the world at a conservative estimate. So averaging between the two, 1000 S rank hunters in the world or there about depending on death rates seems reasonable, especially incorporating how Khamish the dragon took out 100's of S ranks after the dungeon break on the west coast of America and how many S rank hunters would've been lost to the first gates spawned in the world (like how Jinwoo's dad was) as well means that 1000 could be a solid number. Meaning an S rank hunter is part of 0.00002% of the population, or 1 in every 50,000 people.

[@LilBeaniebby]

Theres way more than 31 S-ranks.. if you take the novel alone its stated Japan had >20 S-rank hunters iirc and there were more than 20 in the top of the world excluding the 5 National-rank hunters, SKorea barely had a spot in the top of the world. They even mention in the Novel NKorea has S-rank hunters and is why SKorea really wants more and China has a special division of S-rank hunter hunters. Now if he’s going off of NAMED s-rank hunters then yeah the list is very small. But, this power ranking doesn’t mean anything really by the last book because there are no hunters and a single monarch can wipe all the National ranks and S-ranks as if playing with toys.

Ruler's authority is actually a bit more complicated, it's in fact the ability to control the flow of energy and mana, telekinesis is only its base skill at low level. At higher level it allows the user to reshape mana into any object or phenomenon like magic that they want as long as they can visualize it .

Minor spoilers I guess... About Sungs Wyvern. Did you notice that he tends to give his shadows strange names? I mean Iron, Greed, Tank, Tusk etc. are definitely no Korean names. (Igris isn't a Korean one as well) What confuses me is the name "Kaisel". It is not a name in any language to my knowledge. Basically I am saying that his name is Kaiser. The r and l problem of Asia is known and it would match Sung Jin Woos naming convention.
