Today we're discussing the strongest hunters in solo leveling. They are significantly stronger than
even most S rank hunters, which is supposed to be the highest rank.
It's expected that a national level hunter has cleared an S rank gait, which
would be impossible for most S class hunters. As the name suggests, each
national level hunter's influence and power can be at least the equivalent of that of
an entire nation. These ultimate hunters are even treated like kings in some nations.
We see throughout the series that normal rules just don't apply to S class
hunters, so you can imagine how much more that is the case for these
chosen few. So let's get into all five of these confirmed national level hunter
beasts. Just don't forget to like and subscribe if you do enjoy seeing Soul
leveling videos like this one and want to keep them coming on the channel.
So in fifth place we got Siddharta Bachchan. Perhaps because he is the weakest,
the author has revealed the least about him. We don't even have a
picture of him, but there is some stuff that we do know. He
is ranked the fourth strongest hunter in the world based on the point system during
chapter one hundred and forty nine, but it's revealed that this ranking is already
outdated and in actuality, he should already be ranked fifth. He is the
strongest hunter in India, and considering India's population, calling this guy a one
in a billion kind of guy is an understatement. There are also some hunters
who have fragments of brilliant light in them. These powers come from the Rulers,
who are a powerful and angelic humanoid race that fought against their arch enemies,
the Monarchs. There's a lot to it, but the gist of it
is that some humans are stronger because they've been blessed with ruler powers, and
some, as we'll see during this video, are stronger because they've even been
blessed with monarch powers as well. It'll all make more sense later on.
Right now, I won't go into the whole Rulers versus Monarch's backstory because that's
the topic of a different video, but I will say that the Rulers and
thus Sidharta are capable of the skills rulers authority and spiritual body manifestation. For
instance, rulers authority is a kind of telekinesis that our main character jin Wu
uses during chapter one twenty six to get all the giant soldier statues around him
to bow down. It's like a heavy, overwhelming gravity is pressing down on
them until they are crushed into the ground. Earlier versions of this ability can
simply allow one to control and move smaller objects like daggers too. However,
despite how overpowered it can get, it has its limits and obviously won't work
on stronger opponents, and spiritual body manifestation, as we'll get into, is
like a powered up transformation, sort of like going super Saiyan if you will,
but it looks different for every user, as we'll get into next.
In fourth place, we have Christopher Reid. He's from the USA, and
thus despite being one of the strongest hunters in the world, still gets overshadowed
by another stronger USA hunter that we're going to get into. He too is
a vessel for a ruler, and so has the aforementioned ruler abilities. When
the monarchs come to take him down, we see his transformation. The monarchs
are impressed that a mere human can pull off spiritual body manifestation retakes the form
of a giant cyclops with burning fire for it but the monarchs were too much
for him despite his impressive transformation, and he met his defeat offscreen at their
hands, and that was the end of him. Now we're going to get
into one of the really hype ones. At number three, we have the
strongest Chinese hunter, Leu Jigang, and I got handed to the author.
He does a good job of building the hype narrative around the sky. You're
starting to see a pattern here with these guys being vessels for rulers, and
Liu is no exception, meaning he too could use rulers authority and spiritual body
manifestation. This man was the strongest hunter in Asia until the number one on
this list ser passed him. He was introduced to us in the story by
a sailor who said, despite his impressive record S rank Goto Ryuji, the
strongest hunter in Japan, still has a long way to go compared to Liu,
and he suggests that it is obvious to anyone who saw Leu in action.
Lee is just on another level even compared to S ranked hunters. He
faces a wave of countless flying ants during the antarch, and keep in mind
these ant fighters are hard to deal with for hunters, even for some top
tier hunters. Yet this dude proclaimed that he was gonna make every single one
of them sink into the depths of the ocean. He took out his dual
swords, his weapons of choice, and launched a giant energy blast using them.
The sky lit up like fireworks as his one attack killed this giant wave
of flying ant soldiers. As he used this attack, you even saw the
aura residing off his body to show just how strong he is. Not only
could he do what many even S class hunters couldn't, he even calls these
beasts lame and says if the ant Sung Jin Wu had battled was still alive,
then he would be having a bit more fun right now. So this
dude is easily the most hype character since Jan Wu. I'd even say overall
the series, this guy has a more hype aura than the next fighter we
are going to talk about, who does nevertheless beat him in the ranking system.
When a giant from the Tokyo s rank Gait was traveling across the sea,
we're told it was defeated by Leu. We often get these passing references
to his power like this, and it builds up his character big time,
especially because he never seems to struggle. One of my favorite details about this
dude comes during chapter one hundred and forty one, when it's for that he's
taken an interest in Sung jin Wu. We are used to classes like E,
class, C, class, A, class, even S class,
but Liu is spoken of in terms of being China's seven star hunter. Clearly
a different grading system. But that's not even the best part. As we're
told, China doesn't follow the international standard for ranking hunters. Instead they use
their own system and get this, Hunters with five stars are considered the highest
rank, but just one hunter, Liu Jigang, was given a seventh star
rank end quote. So yeah, not only did this dude get an impossible
off the charts ranking, he didn't even settle for a six out of five
but got seven out of five stars. If that isn't an unbelievably awesome flex,
I don't know what it is. It's remarked by s hunter and chairman
of the Korean Hunters Association that he supposes the strong recognized the strong, and
that's why Liu has shown an interest in Jin Wu. During chapter one hundred
and forty eight, Leo remarks to jin Wu that he was surprised how strong
the giant was that he fought, and that fighting the beast on water made
it especially difficult. He's been waiting to meet jin Wu ever since, the
man who defeated multiple powerful giants with ease. He also comments that he is
glad that jin Wu put Thomas in his place, and we'll get into that
during our next hunter discussion. Leu says he's positive that it was Thomas's fault.
The two shake hands, and even jin Wu can't help but think that
Leu is a pretty interesting person. As strong as he clearly is. He
says that he never wants to fight jin Wu, so that's enough about Leu.
Next, we move on to number two national rank hunter, the one
we already mentioned. Thomas andre Andre ranked first in the world among hunters.
However, it must be said that more points doesn't mean you're automatically the strongest.
At this point, it was said that jin Wu would rank third or
fourth after his victory over the giants, and yet he'd already beaten Thomas andre
As we're about to discuss proving that whenever the scoreboard says he's the stronger of
the two, so Andre is the strongest hunter in America, and before jin
Wu he was considered strongest in the world. He was called the Goliath.
He too, is a ruler's vessel, and so can use rulers authority and
spiritual body manifestation as we're going to get into. So we can't explain Thomas's
powers without talking about his fight against jin Wu. They ended up fighting because
the S ranked Huang wanted revenge for his older brother, who jin Wu had
to kill long ago in self defense. Jin Wu, though, was too
strong at this point in the story, so Huang came up with an idea
he'd take the revenge out on jan Wu's best friend, jin Ho, who's
like a brother to jin Wu at this point, and who was also there
when Hwang's older brother was killed. When jin Wu showed up, Thomas would
have to act, not because he wanted to, in fact, he warned
Wang not to mess with jin Wu, but because Huang was a member of
Thomas's clan. Since S class members are hard to come by. If the
two got in a fight, of course, Thomas would have to intervene for
the good of his guilt. From the beginning, it's not really a fair
fight. Thomas's Guild helps him with the fight, and so they clash with
jan Wu's Shadow Army. While the Shadow Army can be viewed as an extension
of jin Wu's powers, and that definitely isn't the case for Thomas's Guild members.
So despite the fact that jin Wu has to take down multiple opponents with
his powers, he still ultimately wins. To Andre's credit, he does deal
with most of the Shadow soldiers that get in his way pretty easily, and
when jin Wu tries to stab his bare body with a dagger, it has
no noticeable effect. Andre even gets some hits in that send jin Wu flying.
It's definitely not a boring battle. They both use telekinesis aka the ruler's
authority in this fight, and jin Wu uses it to his favor. When
Andre pulls jin Wu towards him, he uses his own powers to keep Andre
frozen in place and the fact that he's being pulled towards his opponent to amplify
the force of his own attack. This time, jin Wu sends Andre flying.
Around this point, Andre realizes he needs to go all out, so
he uses his transformation called reinforcement in this power to form Andre is surrounded by
armor, he easily collapses the ground below him with his fists. He uses
such a high level of Rulers authority that he creates a black hole. Jin
Wu admits that he would have been sucked into if it weren't for his own
Rulers authority powers cool armored transformation or not, though jin Wu is still strong.
When their fists clash, jin Wu gets the better of Andre, and
when he needs the Knight in the face, the helmet cracks, and then,
as it's pointed out by the observers, jin Wu starts pulverizing Thomas.
Punch after punch, Andre is shocked, asking himself how can a magic type
hunter possess this much strength and speed? Even after he's asked to stop by
others since he clearly won the fight already, jin Wu keeps punching Andre.
And that's something I actually like about this series. Jin Wu isn't a goodie
two shoes superman type. He can be brutal when provoked, and this is
an example of that. Finally, when Andre himself admits that he lost,
that's when jin Wu stops. And this fight isn't large part why it's easier
for me to see Liu in a more hyped way, because jin Wu never
beat him like he did. Andre into that pitiful state as the observers call
it. Even with healing magic, the damage is too much and Andre has
to walk around with a broken arm for a w while waiting for it to
heal naturally. But it must be said, props have to go to Andre.
Not only does he not hold a grudge, he realized that jin Wu
showed him mercy by not wiping him in his entire guild out, and so
he actually thanks him and gives him the powerful Kamisha's daggers, which then become
jin Wu's most powerful daggers to date. So, of course, if you've
been paying attention, you shouldn't be surprised that the number one national level hunter
has to be jin Wu, the main character and the man who left the
guy previously considered to be number one in a pitiful state. The best way
to describe jin Wu is that he went from zero to hero. From jokingly
being called Humanity's weakest hunter, he undoubtedly became Humanity's greatest hunter. Whereas the
other characters had rulers to thank for their insane powers, jin Wu's powers are
a bit more complex. He had the Shadow Monarch to think who blessed jin
Wu with his own insane powers, But he used to be a ruler,
as we'll get into, so there are some similarities. Jin Wu became the
second Shadow Monarch, and at that point it was straight up suggested that the
Shadow Monarch and him had come to see things so similarly because of their connection
that they pretty much became one and the same person. So the old Shadow
Monarch was Ashburn, the King of the Dead, and actually he was considered
the strongest ruler and greatest fragment of brilliant Light before he fell and was reborn
with his shadow powers. However, before he could reach the Absolute Being,
whom he wanted to save, the other fragments of Light had killed him,
meaning the Absolute Being in their rebellion. Anyways, long story short, the
whole system where jin Wu leveled up was created by a mage called the Architect,
using the Shadow Monarch's immense power. In this way, even if jin
Wu wasn't immediately a suitable vessel for the Shadow Monarch, he could eventually become
one, and eventually, like the Absolute Being, allowed for Ashbourne to be
reborn as a more powerful being after death. So too, did Ashbourne's power
allow jin Wu to be reborn as a more powerful being after his own death.
After he comes back from being killed by the monarchs, jin Wu has
the full extent of ashbourne power at his disposal. He even gets access to
powerful shadow soldiers that Ashbourn had under his control in his time. Eventually,
jin Wu fights and defeats an Terry's the strongest monarch in the King of Dragons.
He undergoes a transformation like the others on this list, but way more
powerful. He uses the power of the darkness to put on armor. He
makes a bigger and sturdier dark armor. He says he'll make it so big
that every living thing in the world can see it. He summons the power
of death onto earth as the Dragon King puts it. In this form,
jin Wu says he can feel an incredible and unimaginable amount of power endlessly flowing
through him. In this form, jin Wu's attack even cuts through an teres
destructive flames to hit him. Then they fight physically, the King of Dragons
in his giant dragon form and jin Wu in his giant dark armour form.
Eventually, jin Wu reverts to human size, saying it takes a great amount
of mana to maintain such power, and Teries also returns to a humanoid form,
and they continue to fight. Eventually, jin Wu's and Theresa's body and
the Dragon King is weakened enough so that when the Rulers show up to finish
him off, all he can say is that the world is covered by such
bright light and such dark shadows. I didn't have any chance of winning from
the start end quote. However, that kind of victory doesn't even satisfy jin
Wu. Instead, he decides to flex by asking to use the Cup of
Reincarnation one more time so that he can take care of the monarchs, including
Antares and their armies by himself in the dimensional gap. He says he lost
too many people and wants to bring them back. Even though the Cup of
Reincarnation has almost been exhausted, there is still enough for him to turn back
time just one final time. During this redo, if you want to call
it that, he enters the dimensional crack to deal with the monarchs before they
threaten the earth. He spends twenty seven years there and beats the monarchs,
including the Monarch of Transfiguration who is at the core of everything. According to
jin Wu, all he has left then is to defeat the big boss again
you guess an Teri's. However, it's important to note that time flows differently
in this dimension and only two years past in the outside world, and of
course, jin Wu this time succeeds in beating Anteries alone and is only left
with a burned but working hand. As a momento of the epic battle,
then, the Ruler suggests that jin Wu is too powerful to stay in the
human world, and that his power threatens to change the world or perhaps even
to destroy it. But jin Wu decides that because he has people he loves
here and that love him, he will stay. He'll take that risk,
and if new threats appear, he'll deal with them like he did with all
the others. And eventually, Titans do show up in the unawakened Earth,
and in the old timeline they showed up in the rulers world, but now
chasing traces of the great power that jin Wu possesses, they change their target
to Earth. However, jin Wu and his shadow army make relatively quick work
of them, and unlike against antaries the first time, there is never the
feeling that jin Wu is having any trouble. I don't think that it's a
stretch to say that by the end of the series, jin Wu is the
strongest being in existence, so I can't really see any threat showing up that
he can't deal with at this point. Remember to like and subscribe. If
