Summary
Solo Levelingis undoubtedly one of the most loved animeseries released in the last few years. Praised for its breathtaking visuals, action-packed fight sequences, and captivating storytelling, it has earned countless fans across the world.
Following the conclusion of the second installment, fans are eager for the return of their favorite overpowered protagonist. However, the upcoming season will dare to look beyond Sung Jinwoo and add more depth to the overall narrative by introducing several exciting characters. Among them,these S-Rank hunterswill probably have the most influence and impact, as they make their debut and will push the story towards its chaotic final arcs.
5Jay Mills
One Of Canada’s Best Hunters
Jay Millsis perhaps one of the most overlooked S-Rank hunters in the entire series. Hailing from Canada, he is ranked 17th in the world but does not truly get the recognition that he deserves in the story. However, Mills does play a role in representing the Canadian response to the global crisis as ancient monsters descend on the human world.
As a Tanker-class hunter, Jay is a shrewd strategist who has years of experience and understands what it takes to participate in high-stakes missions. Although he is extremely talented, Mills does not have a pleasant personality. He is too overconfident and does not heed anyone else’s opinions once he has made up his mind.
4Christopher Reed
One Of The Strongest Hunters In The World
Christopher Reedis one of the most popular huntersfrom America. He is gifted with powers that can overwhelm almost all magic beasts. Over the years, he has embarked on countless high-stakes battles and is regarded as one of the most sought-after combatants.
Like most high-ranking hunters, Christopher is somewhat arrogant and has a hard time accepting that someone can overpower him. However, unlike other hunters of his stature, he is mature enough not to take ego-driven decisions that may end up hurting him.
Reed is likely to be one of the first hunters to face a direct confrontation with the Monarchs.Gifted with unique powers like Spiritual Body Manifestationand Ruler’s Authority, he is unlikely to take a step back once he is pushed into a corner. While the former allows him to transform himself into a humanoid monster capable of creating fires that are almost impossible to extinguish, the latter gives him access to telekinetic abilities. Christopher is adept at using both of these skills to overpower any enemy. Monarchs are undoubtedly quite powerful, otherworldly monsters, but that won’t stop Reed from putting his life on the line to defeat them.
3Jonas
Brazil’s Greatest Warrior
Ranked 6th in the world,Jonasis undoubtedly the closest hunter to the five heroeswho defeated the dragon Kamish. In the International Guild Conference arc, when America’s Federal Bureau of Hunters organizes the annual meeting, Jonas will be invited to represent Brazil. However, when he goes missing, the story will take an unexpected turn.
Jonas might not get much screentime, but he will play a pivotal role in signifying the shift in power dynamics in the human world once season 3 ofSolo Levelinggets underway.
2Lennart Niermann
Leader Of Richter Guild
Lennart Niermannis arguably the most humble high-ranking hunter. Rated as one of Europe’s best, he also leads the Richter Guild and has played a crucial role in shaping present-day hunter society. Lennart is all set to make his debutin the International Guild Conference arc. His humility and polite nature will make him stand out among his peers. Niermann will also go on to play a crucial role in the later arcs of the story.
Nierman’s special ability is known as Charge. Using gauntlets, he can inflict significant damage on his adversaries by firing dangerous bursts of energy. These attacks are strong enough to overpower most S-Rank hunters in the world. Lennart is also quite perceptive. When he first meets Sung Jinwoo, he is the only guild master at the International Guild Conference who can sense Jinwoo’s shadow army.
Based on everything known about him, it is reasonable to conclude that Niermann ismost likely stronger than Cha Hae-In. It should not come as a surprise that he will fight Monarchs at one point in the story.
1Yuri Orloff
Barrier Magic Specialist
Among the S-rankerswho are set to make their debut inSolo LevelingSeason 3,Yuri Orloffwill play the most significant role. He is the best barrier-magic specialist in the world and is highly sought-after for his unique skills. Orloff is also rated as Russia’s best hunter, but his obnoxious and condescending mannerisms make him insufferable. Yuri is also very greedy and uses tragedies to his advantage to demand more money for his services.
Orloff’s personality willremind fans of Japan’s Goto Ryuji. Expected to make his first appearance in the Japan Crisis arc, he will be the leader that the East Asian island country will trust to help them out when things take a dark turn. Yuri will use the opportunity to demand absurd sums of money and later try to put his skills to good use by securing Tokyo. However, his actions and overconfidence will have far-reaching consequences. He will influence events whose reverberations will be felt throughout the world and change the hunter landscape in unimaginable ways.
