Solo departmentSung Jin-Woo is widely known for his scary army of shadows, which easily qualifies him as one of the most powerful anime characters ever. His incredible power exceeds the most formidable hunters and monarchs far, which allows him to eliminate all kinds of threats at a cosmic level. But when the action is played out in Solo departmentWill Sung Jin-Woo lose its power and return to its e-rank state?
Before Sung Jin-Woo's rise to power, he was a hopeless e-rank hunter with the most pathetic abilities. As a sub-dog, Jin-Woo is extremely weak and is constantly growing on the edge of death. Worse is that Jin-Woo owns the humiliating moniker of the world's weakest hunter, someone who could probably die from a low-level attack or even a mucus. Jin-Woo's fate is just changing after he is accepted as a player in Kandiaru's system, and since then his life has never been the same.

What is the source of Sung Jin-Woo's power?
Shadow Monarch chooses Sung Jin-Woo
The primary source of Sung Jin-Woo's huge power comes from Shadow Monarch, the same king of the dead who fought against the other monarchs and rulers back during the day. His real strength does not come from the system, nor from the system's architect and his puppet statues, but from Shadow Monarch himself. The system is just a tool designed as a video game for grooming shadow monarch's ship, which sings Jin-Woo.
Within the system created by Mage Kandiaru, Jin-Woo's potential is cared for when Shadow Monarch's vessels are cared for. When Jin-Woo levels up and improve its strength, the system gradually prepares its body for Shadow Monarch's possible descent to the human world-but this is not exactly what happened. Surprisingly starters Shadow Monarch Kandiaru and chooses to give his powers, including his black heart, on Jin-Woo in the belief that he will be able to succeed him properly.
“Weakness is not something to boast.” – Sung Jin Woo
Without Sung Jin-Woo's pure determination to continue living, he would never have been chosen by Shadow Monarch, let alone entrust his powers. His courage and endurance to survive for his family are the decisive factors who ultimately convinced the shadow monarch of his dignity. All this means that it is not an accident or a coincidence that Jin-Woo became Shadow Monarch's apprentice.
Will Sung Jin-Woo become weak again?
Will Sung Jin-Woo lose their powers?
No one is safe in Solo departmentNot even Sung Jin-Woo, despite his monstrous abilities. In fact, he is driven into a corner and is even killed when Beast Monarch and Frost Monarch collaborate to take him down before he can pick up the shadow monarch's full force. While others would perish for good in this situation, Jin-Woo made a haunting return after he became one with the shadow monarch.
Interestingly, the fans will only witness Jin-Woo return to their e-rank status once, all thanks to Shadow Monarch's illusion. The shadow monarch apparently transported Jin-Woo back in time when he was still an e-rank hunter and had been in hospital after the double prison event. After that, there are no more turns in the series that return to Jin-Woo to his original e-rank state, so the fans should not be worried.
Sung Jin-Woo's strength after the war
As much as Sung Jin-Woo's deterrent wants to see him fall from grace, it never happens. Instead, Jin-Woo continues his pursuit of power, just as he always-type for a Shounen-anime head person. This desire to become stronger is not an unknown trope, as Jin-Woo's attitude can be compared to Dragon ballS son goku and vegetable, or even A bitMonkey D. Luffy, who is constantly striving for greatness in front of a stronger enemy.
“Let's say I'm a hunter that gets stronger from every struggle.” – Jin Woo
All Jin-Woo's efforts put him on a pedestal so high that no one, not even the dragon monarch, can bring him down. With the real power of the shadow monarch at Jin-Woos, he fights for 27 years before returning to earth to meet another type of challenge.
But Jin-Woo could still lose his power if he was ever peeled or robbed by Shadow Monarch's abilities. An external force, or even Jin-Woo himself, could also limit and hide their abilities and drastically change the situation. Currently, unless further Lore is revealed, Jin-Woo remains the strongest creature Solo departmentwith a power that can change the course of the world.
