Warning: This article contains spoilers for Solo Leveling’s manhwa!!
Solo Leveling season 2 was more exciting than its first season, with many epic moments that surprised viewers and made it one of the most popular anime in recent years. Hopefully, Jinwoo’s journey will be back soon with the release of Solo Leveling season 3. However, in the meantime, those who cannot wait to see what’s next in Solo Leveling can follow up on the story in the manhwa, which has a compilation of incredible scenes that are bound to stir even more hype among viewers when animated.
While due to the action-packed nature of Solo Leveling, it’s natural to expect exciting battles in the series like the ones in the first two seasons, many great moments still to come in the anime don’t compare to anything seen so far. This is because viewers will be able to see how Jinwoo faces opponents that make the previous ones look weak. A few moments are especially epic and worth looking forward to in the following seasons, as they have the potential to make Solo Leveling an even bigger hit across the world.

Jinwoo Saves His Sister from High Orcs
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 120
One of the occasions where Jinwoo got angry in Solo Leveling was when a gate opened within the school of his sister, Jinah. This is a truly heartbreaking event where numerous defenseless students get massacred by orcs, and Jinah was only spared thanks to the three shadow orcs that Jinwoo has placed in her to protect her.
However, just as Jinah is about to be killed, Jinwoo leaves Beru in charge of the dungeon he was clearing with the Knights Guild and takes off to save her. Jinwoo’s rage at that moment gives chills even to his shadow soldiers, which will convey great emotion in animation. Furthermore, although he arrived to avoid the death of several students, this deeply traumatized Jinah. This marked Jinwoo since he felt that he couldn’t keep his sister out of danger, becoming a pivotal moment in Solo Leveling‘s story.

Jinwoo Vs. Legia
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 137
The Japan Crisis in the Solo Leveling manhwa is one of the arcs that shows how devastating the gates are to the world. After a dungeon break, Japan is attacked on a massive scale, which doesn’t compare to the destruction showcased before in the story. Moreover, this followed up on the consequences that left the Jeju Island Arc, as Japan was vulnerable after losing most of its S-Rank hunters. After the unsuccessful efforts of Yuri Orloff, the strongest S-Rank hunter from Russia, Jinwoo goes to aid Japan, taking care of his shadow army of giants attacking several points in the nation.
However, the biggest part of this arc is that Jinwoo encounters one of the monarchs for the first time. Jinwoo finds the dungeon’s boss, Legia, Monarch of the Beginning, who was imprisoned by the rulers. Not only does their conversation finally uncover the mysteries that have been building up in Solo Leveling’s story, but it also denotes Jinwoo’s intellect, as he doesn’t fall for Legia’s deceit and fights him to stop the dungeon break and save Japan. This is an excellent introduction to the Monarch War Arc and a great fight for Jinwoo that will shine its best in animation.

Thomas Andre Vs. Rakan
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 156
Although readers didn’t get to see the fight between the monarchs against the National Level Hunter Christopher Reed, the battle of the strongest hunter in America against Rakan displayed how terrifying only one of these beings was. Despite having recently recovered from the injuries inflicted by Jinwoo, Thomas Andre held his own against Rakan, the Monarch of Fangs, who used his Spiritual Body Manifestation to showcase more of his powers.

Solo Leveling’s author finally explained one of the greatest powers of National Level hunters and Monarchs that has been questioned by fans.
However, the monarch was just playing at the beginning. Rakan was just too powerful for Thomas Andre, who took a lot of damage despite having used his reinforcement ability. Still, this short battle left many intense moments that will shine in the anime, like Baek Yoonho’s instincts reacting to a stronger beast and being unable to move, Lennart Niermann saving Thomas from being killed, and Jinwoo arriving with Kaisel at the last minute to save them.

Jinwoo Vs. Thomas Andre
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 148
One of the best fights in Solo Leveling, which readers expected the most to be done justice in the anime, is undoubtedly Sung Jinwoo against Thomas Andre, the national-level hunter master of the Scavenger Guild. After Jinwoo leaves Hwang Dong Soon at the death door, this all-out battle, where the shadow army also fights the hunters of the Scavenger Guild, is visually striking, with Thomas Andre being the greatest tank seen in the story, especially when he uses his skill reinforcements.
Furthermore, Thomas Andre has another great skill, capture, which has a similar pull to a black hole. But the best part of this fight is how incredibly angry Jinwoo is after what Hwan Dong Soo did to Jinho, so he doesn’t hold back when beating the National Level Hunter, to the point of breaking each of his bones. In the end, Jinwoo spared the lives of all the Scavenger Guild, but the fight was still one of the most satisfying moments in the manhwa.

Jinwoo Fighting Three Monarchs
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 158
Sillad, the Monarch of Frost, convinced the other monarchs to join their strength and eliminate Ashborn’s vessel before it was too late. Despite having defeated the Monarch of the Beginning, Legia, quite easily, fighting three monarchs by himself was a great challenge for Jinwoo. Each of the Monarchs was extremely powerful, and Jinwoo was pushed to the limits of his mortal body. Despite succeeding in defeating Querehsha using his mutilation ability, fighting Rakan and Sillad at the same time was still difficult for him.

Even Solo Leveling’s Creator Admits That Fans Completely Misunderstood The Real Power of Jinwoo’s Father
Solo Leveling’s author recently pointed out a misconception about Jinwoo’s father, Sung Il-Hwan, revealing he is far stronger than fans thought.
Not even Beru, one of his high-ranking shadows, was enough to stop the monarchs. As a result, Jinwoo was almost killed but still tried to push through in his battle against these terrible beings, being later supported by his father, Sung Il-Hwan. However, the Monarchs were ruthless, and Jinwoo suffered a fatal wound.

Jinwoo Awakening the Real Powers of the Shadow Monarch
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 162
After Jinwoo is stabbed by Rakan and everything seems lost in the war against the Monarchs, Ashborn decides to give him all his power and turn him into the new Shadow Monarch. As a result, Jinwoo comes back to life, not as a vessel anymore, but as a full-on Shadow Monarch controlling the power of Ashborn, who was the brightest fragment of light and the strongest ruler.
Because of this, upon his return, Sillad and Rakan are left speechless, with the Monarch of Fangs even running away to save his life and kneeling before Jinwoo asking to be forgiven in exchange for his cooperation. The way that Jinwoo manages to defeat the two monarchs without much effort after struggling so much before is a hyped moment to witness which will look even more epic once it gets adapted in the last season of Solo Leveling.

Jinwoo Vs. The Architect
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 127
After Sung Jinwoo finally returns to the Cartenon Temple, the Double Dungeon where he became a player at the beginning of the series, he meets the architect of the system, Kandiaru, who has been controlling his every movement and forcing him to level up for a reason. Sung Jinwoo then fights multiple statues and the creator of the system, who shows him the real nature of the Shadow Monarch’s powers in the memories of the original wielder, Ashborn.
This is one of the most anticipated moments in Solo Leveling‘s anime, not only for the flashback to The Shadow Monarchs’ death and the Great War, but because Chae Hae In and the Hunters Guild give their all to save Jinwoo from Kandiaru, culminating in Jinwoo getting Ashborn’s black heart. This makes the fight against the Architect one of the most epic moments that will be adapted in the following seasons of Solo Leveling.

Jinwoo Vs. Antares
Solo Leveling Manhwa Chapter 167
Jinwoo decided to face Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, only with his shadow army. This became one of the most exciting all-out battles in the whole manhwa medium, which was enhanced by Solo Leveling‘s incredible art style. Because of this, Solo Leveling‘s final battle has everything to become an even greater sensation among viewers than Beru vs Jinwoo. Even more so, because it’s the battle when Jinwoo struggled the most, and failed to win on his own, as he couldn’t match Antares’ power.
Antares was the greatest enemy in the whole Solo Leveling story, who managed to overwhelm Jinwoo with his immense strength and lost only for underestimating Jinwoo as a real threat in the beginning and being outsmarted by his strategy and surpassed in number by the arrival of the rulers. Still, Antares’s powers and his attack breath of destruction demonstrated why Jinwoo was so scared to face him. As a result, even if Antares Vs Jinwoo is the most epic moment in Solo Leveling.
