This article contains spoilers for Solo Leveling Ragnarok.

Solo Leveling has taken the world by storm, and this is largely due to the anime adaptation of the Manhwa, which dropped last year. Earlier this year, fans got Solo Leveling Season 2 and once again, it propelled the popularity of the anime to a whole new level. Solo Leveling even managed to win Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Awards, with Jinwoo himself snagging the award for the best main character.

Naturally, fans are deeply invested in Solo Leveling right now, which means many have turned to the Manhwa to complete the story. This is especially true since fans have no idea when Solo Leveling Season 3 will drop. Those who finished Solo Leveling manhwa jumped to the sequel, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok after, which features Jinwoo's son, Suho. As expected, Suho is just as impressive as Jinwoo, and now, the question of who is stronger between the two has finally been answered.

Sung Jinwoo Is The Strongest In His Manhwa

  • Jinwoo Can Level Up
  • Jinwoo Is The Shadow Monarch

When it comes to the power of Sung Jinwoo, fans know very well how strong he is. Jinwoo is unbelievably overpowered, and this makes sense when considering the fact that his ability allows him to level up consistently. When a Hunter undergoes awakening, they automatically fit into a class and stay there forever. Rarely, a hunter undergoes reawakening, which pushes them to higher ranks. In the case of Sung Jinwoo, fans know that none of this applies. Jinwoo is the strongest because he can level up, which means that his potential is infinite.

I certainly got much more stronger than before. But for some reason, I feel like something within me gets lost every time I get stronger. — Sung Jiwnoo

On top of that, Jinwoo is also the Shadow Monarch, which gives him the ability to use the Shadow Army. Thanks to his Shadow powers, he can raise the shadow of the fallen and turn them into his soldiers. As the Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo is unbeatable, and fans know very well that by the end of Solo Leveling, he's the strongest in the world.

Suho Is A Monster Himself

As far as Suho goes, fans know that he is very impressive as well. His mastery of weapons is deadly and he's been acknowledged by many across Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. In fact, up until the last chapter of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, many fans actually believed that Suho had actually surpassed his father, and that he was now the strongest in the world. However, that all changed when the last chapter of the web novel dropped, where it was explicitly confirmed that Jinwoo is still stronger.

For those who don't know, Jinwoo is actually so strong that his powers cannot be measured in Solo Leveling Ragnarok. In fact, he might even give a run for their money to characters outside of Solo Leveling deemed invincible. Jinwoo and Suho cannot be compared, and Jinwoo is, at the very least, hundreds of times stronger than his son.

“My position doesn't allow me to officially confirm Season 3 in front of the media. We need everyone's support for the next season. […] My favorite technique by Son Goku is the Spirit Bomb. Spirit Bomb, the technique that combines everyone's power to defeat the enemy. So, for the next season of Solo Leveling to come to fruition, we need everyone's power and support for the series across the world.” — Atshushi Kaneko

Solo Leveling has two seasons out right now, one with 12 episodes, and the other with 13, for a combined episode count of 25 episodes available to watch right now. The series can be streamed on Crunchyroll for fans to enjoy while awaiting any more news concerning the third season. For fans who can’t wait for season 3 to come out, checking out the Manhwa might be a great option.
