It should not come as a surprise that Andre is rated so highly and is one of the most sought-after hunters in the world. But things are about to change dramatically as Sung Jinwoo continues to evolve and challenges the status quo. Ever since thefive brave hunters who defeated Kamishreceived the title of National Level Hunters, no one has been able to challenge them.
However, with Jinwoo unofficially taking on the mantle of securing global peace and security, the credibility of old power structures is set to crumble one after another. The power shift in the hunter world and an unexpected incident will set the stage for anepic clash between America’s Thomas Andre and Sung Jinwoo. Instead of being rooted in hunger for dominance, their battle will be primarily driven by their egos.
But since Andre and Jinwoo are such key players in the global hunter associations, their battle will have reverberations that are set to shake the foundation of the current world order. However, this battle will also be quite personal for Thomas Andre, whose status as the best hunter in the world has not been challenged for years. Defeat would mean that his days at the top are behind him, and he would have to come to terms with the changing world order. Buthow likely is it that Andre will lose to Jinwoo?
Andre Versus Jinwoo: Who Has the Upper Hand?
Jinwoo Appears to Have an Advantage Over Thomas
Sung Jinwoo used to bejust an ordinary E-rankerbarely a few months ago. But following his reawakening, he has evolved consistently to the point that he managed to defeat a S-rank dungeon boss alone. As if this were not impressive enough,Jinwoo also added Ant Kingto his shadow army, becoming so powerful that no S-ranker alive can even dream of defeating him.
However, National Level Hunters are a different story. Their unique powers, coupled with years of experience, make them seem almost invincible. In fact, they are the only hunters who can claimto defeat the strongest magic beastto have ever lived.
Therefore, Thomas Andre is unlike any other S-ranker in the world. Underestimating him could be a grave mistake, as he is capable of pulling off feats almost impossible for most other hunters. That’s why Thomas Andre’s fight with Sung Jinwoo is so exciting. It’s almost as if two seemingly invincible characters are set to discover the limits of their powers.
Before Jinwoo defeated Ant King, Thomas Andre appeared far superior. However, now thatSung has an S-rank dungeon bossin his shadow army, he can do serious damage without even lifting a finger. That’s why Andre will face an uphill battle against Jinwoo and will need to pull off something special to defeat him. But if there is anyone in the world remotely capable of doing it, it is no one else but the greatest National Level Hunter alive.
Solo Leveling Season 3 is expected to release sometime between 2026 and 2028.
