Solo Leveling’s popularity is rising after the manhwa was adapted into an anime. The story follows the journey of the weakest Hunter, Sung Jinwoo, who becomes the strongest Hunter in the world to fulfill a purpose. The webtoon became immensely popular, and fans were eagerly waiting for its anime adaptation.
Several fights in the webtoon will send shivers down the audience’s spine. As Sung Jinwoo leveled up, the fans got to know about all the ranks of the Hunter Association. The highest-rank hunters are known as National Level Hunters, and there are only five of them in Solo Leveling. Sung Jinwoo was the fifth hunter to reach that level. So, let us see the strongest National Level Hunters in Solo Leveling.
Who Are National Level Hunters?
According to the official database, National Level Hunters are hunters who can rival the military strength of an entire nation. During the mission to kill a dragon named Kamish, several S-Rank hunters perished. Ultimately, there were only five remaining hunters who slayed the massive beast. It was from there that the term ‘National Level Hunter’ was created.
To become a National Level Hunter, one must clear an S-Rank Dungeon all by themselves. The five members who slayed Kamish were Thomas Andre, Liu Zhigang, Christopher Reed, Siddharth Bachchan, and an unnamed Healer. The latter was never mentioned in the webtoon neither was their home country shown.
5. Siddharth Bachchan
Before Sung Jinwoo, there were only five National Level Hunters. Siddharth Bachchan was ranked fourth among them. He is the strongest hunter in India, but he was never revealed in the webtoon. Siddharth Bachchan can use Ruler’s Authority, a telekinetic power bestowed upon a hunter by one of the Rulers. Apart from that, his abilities include Spiritual Body and Manifestation. Since he was never shown, the true extent of his powers is still unknown.
4. Christopher Reed
Christopher Reed is the strongest Hunter in America and is one of the surviving members of the Kamish Raid. Like Siddharth Bachchan, he had access to the Ruler’s Authority and Spiritual Body Manifestation. He was a muscular man with blue eyes. With his Spiritual Body Manifestation, he could turn into a one-eyed giant with flaming hair. Unfortunately, he was killed by three Monarchs in an off-screen battle, and the fans never got to see him in action.
3. Liu Zhigang
Liu Zhigang is one of the strongest hunters in the world and falls under the category of National Level Hunters. He uses double swords and can use the Ruler’s Authority and Spiritual Body Manifestation. Liu Zhigang belonged to the Fighter class. He is a straightforward man and has showcased excellent fighting skills.
When the remnant ants from Jeju Island were heading towards the Chinese East Coast, he killed them with a single strike. Liu Zhigang had immense speed, durability, and strength. He is known as ‘The Hero of China’ and the only Seven Star Hunter from China.
2. Thomas Andre
When Sung Jinwoo was the weakest Hunter in the world, Thomas Andre was the strongest Hunter in the world. Thomas Andre is full of pride but does not have any negative feelings for Sung Jinwoo after losing to him. He is known as ‘The Goliath’ and falls under the Tanker class. He is the Guild Master of the Scavenger Guild, the strongest guild in America.
Thomas Andre has Ruler’s Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation, massive strength, durability, speed, and physical reinforcements. Excluding Sung Jinwoo, he is physically the strongest being on the planet. Since he was so strong, he was able to go toe-to-toe with the Beast Monarch.
1. Sung Jinwoo
Sung Jinwoo is the strongest Hunter among the National Level Hunters. He is the Shadow Monarch and was able to defeat Thomas Andre with ease. He has the qualities of a necromancer, which allows him to raise an army of the strongest beings he has killed. There is no end to his abilities since he is the Shadow Monarch. Strength, speed, Shadow Extraction, Detoxification, Monarch’s Domain, etc. made him the strongest being in Solo Leveling. Even though he had to give his best to defeat the Dragon Monarch, others were not much of a challenge for him.
