Wondering who the National & Strongest S-Rank Hunters are in Solo Leveling? Fret not. This guide is for you. The Hunters have been the source of power for humanity since the opening of the interdimensional Gates in the realm of Solo Leveling. Hunters are people who possess the skill to harness magical energy, giving them a much greater level of power compared to the typical person. However, not all Hunters are created equal.
Hunters have altered the distribution of political power among nations simply by their presence, as a result of their significant influence. The greater a country’s influence on the global stage, the stronger its Hunters become. Given this, there is an obvious ranking system among Hunters in Solo Leveling, with certain individuals possessing enough strength to completely tip the scales of power on Earth.
10. Go Gun-Hee (South Korea) 
Go Gun-Hee may not consider himself the strongest Hunter anymore, but in the absence of Sung Jinwoo, he would undoubtedly remain most powerful. Gun-Hee is a member of the Rulers and thus has access to a strength hardly ever seen in other Hunters of the world. His main challenge is his increasing age, and that limits the amount of time he is able to make use of his abilities. Nonetheless, his capacity to resist the Frost Monarch and stand his ground, even if only for a short time, demonstrates that he possesses greater strength than he appears to possess.
9. Sung Il-Hwan (South Korea)
Sung Il-Hwan is believed to have passed away in Solo Leveling after going missing during a dungeon expedition. He was a proficient hunter before his disappearance, but he was not at the level of a national champion. Il-Hwan is possibly the most powerful Hunter in the planet, second only to his son Sung Jinwoo, since his return.
He, who had been previously trapped within a Gate, gained the abilities of the Rulers and underwent a reawakening, ultimately becoming the most formidable false ranker globally. When he returned, Il-Hwan effortlessly overpowered the S Rank Hunter Hwang Dongsoo and demonstrated his ability to simultaneously confront the Beast and Frost Monarchs.
8. Lennart Niermann (Germany)
Lennart Niermann, the most powerful Hunter in Germany, is a formidable presence to be respected. He holds the 12th position globally when it comes to sheer strength, and this sets him apart as among the rare Hunters to achieve such a high ranking without having to be a vessel for the Rulers. Even though Lennart possesses great strength, he is surprisingly insightful and modest.
7. Goto Ryuji (Japan)
Goto Ryuji is considered the strongest Hunter in the country and has the potential to become a nationally recognized hunter. His primary objective is to conquer an S-Rank dungeon by himself to achieve National Level status. Ryuji is a strong but weak minded individual who is willing to inflict pain on others to achieve his goals. His plan to claim all the glory during the Jeju Island Raid ended up turning against him when the Ant King suddenly appeared and defeated him.
6. Yuri Orloff (Russia)
A highly skilled Russian hunter named Yuri Orloff with an S-Rank status is known for his expertise in constructing barriers. Solo Leveling defines his character by undiscovered potential and overlooked chances for further development.
5. Siddharth Bachchan (India)
Siddharth is acknowledged as a skilled Hunter at the national level and is regarded as one of the top five most formidable Hunters globally. He is a vessel for the rulers at a national level, possessing powers similar to other top vessels.
4. Liu Zhigang (China)
People considered Liu Zhigang one of the most powerful hunters globally before Jinwoo, but his full abilities remained a mystery. It is known that he defeated a Giant from the S-Rank Gate of Japan by himself while battling in water. Zhigang is a humble man, who does not want any unnecessary battles despite his strength.
3. Christopher Reed (United States)
Before Jinwoo’s ascent, the world considered Christopher Reed the third strongest Hunter globally. The Monarchs defeated Reed, a highly skilled National Level Hunter, highlighting the vulnerability of even the most formidable Hunters when they faced the Monarchs.
2. Thomas Andre (United States)
People commonly saw Thomas Andre as probably the most influential Hunter in America and also recognized him as the strongest Hunter in the world at one time until Jinwoo surpassed him. He admires strength the most and willingly acknowledges Jinwoo as the leader after recognizing Jinwoo’s unmatched power. Andre was the most powerful official Hunter in the world but he was not able to defeat the Beast Monarch.
1. Sung Jinwoo (South Korea)
Sung Jinwoo started as weakest E-Rank Hunter but became strongest being. He surpassed mere “Hunter” label as Shadow Monarch, personifying death’s essence. Jinwoo was granted immortality and also the power to control the spirits of deceased. He leads a massive Shadow army with over 10 million members, many stronger than renowned Hunters like Andre. Jinwoo has the abilities of a deity.
The ultimate list of the strongest Hunters in Solo Leveling is now here. The immense power of these nations has altered the balance of military might worldwide and political power among nations. The heavenly Monarchs are nearly unbeatable by the elite, with the exception of Jinwoo, who’s overcome death and transformed from a low-ranking Hunter to a formidable force of nature.
