Arguably the most popular webtoon of all time, Solo Leveling has taken the world by storm once again after a stellar anime adaptation. Written by Chugong, Solo Leveling is based on a light novel of the same name. With exhilarating action sequences, intricate worldbuilding and stunning art, Solo Leveling keeps fans at the edge of their seats wanting more.
While Sung Jinwoo might not seem like much at the start of the story, he levels up to unprecedented power throughout the story. Possessing an arsenal of mighty shadow soldiers and formidable skills, Sung Jinwoo establishes himself as one of anime’s most overpowered protagonists.
With cheat code-like powers that could even destroy a planet in a snap, only a handful of anime characters could be placed in the same conversation with Jinwoo. But anime fans are excited to find out how some of the most beloved shounen anime protagonists would fare against the Shadow Monarch himself.
5. Naruto would have to resort to Talk-no-Jutsu against Jinwoo
Naruto is one of the most powerful shinobi in his universe with abilities like Shadow clone Jutsu that could summon thousands of clones of himself to fight with him. He is also equipped with various other powerful jutsus and transformations like the sage mode.
While these abilities might help him fight a good amount of Jinwoo’s million Shadow warriors, there is simply no chance for Naruto to even make a scratch on Jinwoo’s skin. The Shadow Monarch would completely overwhelm Naruto even in his most powerful form without even using his full power.
4. Gear 5 Luffy would be Jinwoo’s new plaything
Gear 5 offers Luffy an interesting set of reality-bending powers that allow him to manipulate the environment and body to levels never seen before in other anime protagonists. This ability combined with excellent Haki prowess places him in the upper echelons of powerful anime characters. But in the end, fighting Jinwoo might be too much even for the future Pirate King. Nothing Luffy does will force Jinwoo to reveal even half of his powers. Luffy might be an Emperor-level threat to the World Government but he would be a mere plaything to Jinwoo.
3. Goku could make Jinwoo sweat
Goku is a Saiyan with unlimited potential and a unique ability to become much stronger during a fight. With mighty transformations and martial arts under his belt, Goku might be the only shounen anime protagonist who could have a serious fight with Jinwoo. In a one-on-one martial fight, Goku might give Jinwoo some trouble. However, Jinwoo would easily come out on top if he used all his reality-breaking power of the Shadow Monarch.
2. Ichigo would be a fine addition to Jinwoo’s Shadow Army
Ichigo might have an amusing battle when it comes to a one-on-one fight against Jinwoo. Both have similar speed and sword skills which might restrain Jinwoo a bit. Ichigo’s connection with death as a shinigami might play an interesting role in a battle against the God of death himself. Ichigo might keep Jinwoo occupied for a bit but the sheer size of Jinwoo’s army would overwhelm him completely.
1. Yuji would be humbled by Jinwoo
Yuji is a prodigy in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. With his quick reflexes, curse resistance and physical strength, Yuji can be considered as a strong character. But nothing from Yuji would even make Jinwoo break a sweat. Even Yuji’s most powerful curse techniques would not affect Jinwoo because of his immunity to curses. Ultimately, Jinwoo is just completely on another level for Yuji to have a fair fight.
