Solo Leveling Anime Might Change Hero’s Nationality

Sung Jinwoo is the main protagonist of Solo Leveling. Originally an infamously weak E-Rank Hunter. He got the chance of a lifetime when he was selected as the Player. He had given him the unique ability to grow in strength without restraint. As a result, by taking advantage of the System’s opportunities, Jinwoo eventually rose to power as humanity’s most excellent hunter and the second Shadow Monarch.

Sung Jin-woo Nationality

In the manga, Sung Jin-woo is a South Korean. But since the animation of this anime is going to launch very soon the nationality of the main character has been changed. Now in anime Sung Jin-woo is going to be a Japanese character.

Sung Jin-woo Character

Sung Jin-Woo was the weakest E-class hunter and was barely stronger than a normal human. However, after completing a hidden quest in a dual dungeon, he was chosen as a player.

After completing the quests and powering up thanks to the System, he became the strongest hunter on Earth.

It was later revealed that the Architect created the System as a means to support the Shadow Monarch, Ashborn, in finding a suitable human to inherit his powers. Ashborn had chosen Jin-Woo as a result of his daily battle with life and death as the weakest hunter.

Before completely inheriting the Shadow Monarchs’ powers, Jin-Woo could already face the 3 Monarchs and even push them back during the battle.

However, after inheriting Ashborn’s powers, the System vanished and no longer held back any power from him. With an army of 130,000 plus Shadows, Jin-Woo waged war and defeated all the Monarchs by himself.

When Jin-Woo became the Shadow Monarch, he became the master of death. He transcended time and reality by becoming an axis of the universe. He became free of mortal limitations and became an eternal being, that is, immortal.

Solo Leveling Plot

In a world where hunters — humans who possess magical abilities — must battle deadly monsters to protect the human race from certain annihilation, a notoriously weak hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself in a seemingly endless struggle for survival. One day, after narrowly surviving an overwhelmingly powerful double dungeon that nearly wipes out his entire party, a mysterious program called the System chooses him as its sole player and in turn, gives him the extremely rare ability to level up in strength, possibly beyond any known limits. Jinwoo then sets out on a journey as he fights against all kinds of enemies, both man and monster. To discover the secrets of the dungeons and the true source of his powers.

When Will the ‘Solo Leveling’ Anime Be Out?

An official release date hasn’t been given, but it’s currently slated to come out sometime in 2023.

A teaser trailer for the anime was released by Crunchyroll at Anime Expo, and it shared a brief glimpse of the adaptation.

Who Will Work on the ‘Solo Leveling’ Anime?

Shunsuke Nakashige will direct the anime, while Noboru Kimura will come on board as head writer. Tomoko Sudo will work on the show’s character designs.

Hiroyuki Sawano, who composed the music for AOT, The Seven Deadly Sins, and Blue Exorcist, will be working on the show’s music as well.

Dubbed or Subbed?

The voice cast for the Solo Leveling anime hasn’t been announced, but it’s likely to be revealed for both the Japanese Episodes and a possible English-language dub closer to the Solo leveling’s release date, for the timing let’s assume that it will be English subbed, and might be available in other languages as subbed just like One Piece.
