Solo Leveling: Power Rankings (Post-Season 2 Episode 4)
aka “Who’s Most Likely to Solo the Plot Next?”
Let’s break down the current power ladder based on recent episodes, manga lore nods, and raw anime hype.
1. Sung Jin-Woo (Shadow Daddy Supreme)
Let’s not pretend. Jinwoo has ascended.
He’s no longer just the underdog. The man’s walking around with a literal army of death knights, shadow beasts, and boss-tier summons like it’s a casual Tuesday.
- Power Level: I-just-solo’d-a-S-Rank-Dungeon
- Notable Flex: Pulling up to an S-Rank gate solo… and winning.
- Vibe Check: Calm. Cold. Collected. Can and will steal your kill.
2. Beru (The Screeching Nightmare)
Ah yes, Beru. Once a raid boss, now Jinwoo’s loyal servant — and terrifyingly so.
If Beru had a dating profile it’d read: Likes long walks on the battlefield, brutal decapitations, and shrieking like a demon banshee.
- Power Level: Ex-Raid Boss turned butler of doom
- Notable Flex: Holding back just enough to not kill humans.
- Vibe Check: Polite… unless you’re breathing near Jinwoo.
3. Igris (Knight of Drip)
The OG summon. Mr. Cloaked-in-Mystery.
He’s not the flashiest, but he’s got loyalty, poise, and probably a Netflix deal for his own backstory.
- Power Level: Silent killer with main character aura
- Notable Flex: Tanking early bosses like it was nothing.
- Vibe Check: Would take a sword for you and not say a word.
4. Cha Hae-In (The Only One With Eyes)
Finally, someone who doesn’t faint near Jinwoo.
Her sense of smell is… weirdly useful, and her blade work is pure chef’s kiss.
- Power Level: S-Rank with romantic side quest potential
- Notable Flex: Parrying shadows with grace
- Vibe Check: Elegant killer. Also maybe in love with your boy.
5. Thomas Andre (Mr. America Himself)
We haven’t seen him fully animated yet — but manga fans know.
He’s an American National Level Hunter, aka “I benchpress buildings for cardio.”
- Power Level: Walking tank with a God Complex
- Notable Flex: Punching dragons and surviving.
- Vibe Check: Loud. Proud. Built like an armored truck.
Honourable Mentions:
- Iron: The himbo of the shadow army. Dumb, loyal, and tanky.
- Go Gun-Hee: Grandpa with power. Don’t let the glasses fool you.
- The System: Not a character, but definitely the most manipulative entity in the whole damn show.
TL;DR:
Jinwoo’s walking cheat code status is now full throttle. The real fun? Watching the world react to him. Nations are sweating. S-Rankers are shaking. And Beru’s still screaming in the background like it’s death metal karaoke night.
