Is Sung Jinwoo S-Rank?
Solo Leveling’s protagonist Sung Jinwoo is initially introduced as an E-Rank Hunter. Not only that, he’s described as the weakest of all mankind and is only called upon for easy dungeon raids. However, after the events at the Temple of Cartenon, he becomes inducted into a mysterious System where he’s able to complete quests and level up to become stronger.
Over the course of the series, Jinwoo progresses through the ranks in terms of power, and is eventually regarded as an S-Rank Hunter as well.
Can Hunters Increase Their Power?
Generally speaking, once a human has awakened to their magical powers, they’re set. There’s no way to get stronger and progress upwards, so whatever rank they get is likely permanent.
That being said, there are some exceptions. Rarely, a Hunter can undergo a reawakening and potentially get even stronger than they were before. Jinwoo is, of course, an exception as well, though he was only able to get stronger via the Courage of the Weak.
That’s all you need to know about how the Hunter ranks work in Solo Leveling. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more news and information on the show.
