MA Dongwook

The weakest S-RANK HUNTER IN South Korea

• Country of origin: South Korea
• Connection: Fame Guild
• First appearance: Section 21

MA Dongwook is one of the ten S-rankers from South Korea. He is the leader of Fame Guild and has participated in clearing of many highly ranked dungeons. He is the only idea among the active S-ranks in the country. He has the ability to grow the size of his body, which also increases his strength proportionally. But his role as a tank and his unique ability to become greater turns out to be quite useless in a real battle.

The best view of Ma Dongwook's skills in a battle is under Jeju Island Raid. There, viewers can see that as a tank he could barely handle the attacks from the marsh army and was completely hopeless against the King King. Although it is true that his greater form gives him formidable strength, it also slows him down. This makes him useless to fast enemies, such as Ant King. This also makes Ma Dongwook undoubtedly the weakest among South Korean S-Rank Hunters.

Kei

The arrogant S-rank

• Country of origin: Japan
• Connection: Blade Guild
• First appearance: Section 21

Kei is one of S-RANK Hunters from Japan that was sent to help the South Korean S-rankers in their effort to regain Jeju Island. In general, the Japanese S-ranks are quite arrogant, but Kei takes it to another level. He looks down on the Korean S-ranks and Badmouth actively.

Some might expect him to at least back it with his power with such a large mouth. Well, Kei's ice -based power is really quite impressive, but he is still embarrassingly helpless against Ant King's attacks. Forget to defend against the king's attacks, Kei can't even trace his movement. As a result, he lost his life in seconds.

Lennart Niermann

A helpless S-rank

• Country of origin: Germany
• Connection: Richter Guild
• First appearance: Chapter 142

Lennart Niermann is the best S-RANK HUNTER from Germany. He may not be a national hunter, but as an S-rank he is undoubtedly strong. He can easily go toe-to-toe with the other S-Rank hunters from other countries. Unfortunately, Niermann's power is not enough to survive a fight against the monarchs.

Lennart Niermann first came into contact with a monarch not long after he met Sung Jinwoo. The one he meets is the straight, the monarch of Fangs. Niermann launches its most powerful fee, which can ruin a building, and it does nothing for the straight. On the contrary, the relaxed attack kills almost Niermann. Sure, the enemy is unthinkable, but it is still a disappointment to see the top S-RANK Hunter from a larger country that is so helpless in a struggle.

Christopher Reed

An disappointing hunter at national level

• Country of origin: USA
• Connection: N/a
• First appearance: Chapter 138

Christopher Reed is one of the best S-rank Hunters from the United States of America. In fact, he is one of the few national hunters in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that Mr. Reed is the strongest S-rank Hunter on this list.

Given Reed is hailed as someone on a par with Thomas Andre, it is a disappointment to see him completely dominated by the monarchs. Yes, the monarchs surpassed him during their confrontation, but one can expect a hunter at national level that he would at least take down one of them. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Christopher Reed lost his life while the monarchs remained undamaged.

Yuri Orloff

A weak and unethical S-rank

• Country of origin: Russia
• Connection: N/a
• First appearance: Chapter 123

Yuri Orloff Is an S-RANK Hunter from Russia, which specializes in defense, especially to create supposedly endless obstacles. He is the only known user of this unique ability, which makes him special even among S-Rank Hunters.

Yuri knows how rare and valuable his ability is, so he offers his services at an unreasonable price to anyone who is willing to pay, making him one of the most corrupt hunters in the series. To make things worse, Yuri is also an alcoholic and a woman. As if it is not enough disappointment for someone in such an appreciated position, the barrier ends up that Yuri was so proud to be destroyed in just a few minutes by the soldier from the King of Giants.

Hwang Dongsoo

A small and cruel S-Rank Hunter

• Country of origin: South Korea
• Connection: Scavenger guild
• First appearance: Section 7

Hwang Dongsoo Was a Korean S-Rank Hunter who left his country to become an S-RANK Hunter for the United States. He was willing to abandon his homeland simply because the other side offered him a huge amount of money. In addition, he is also greedy, arrogant, selfish, rude and prone to violence.

If his lack of ethics is not a disappointment enough, Hwan Dongsoo is also a sore loser. When Sung Jinwoo defeated him fairly and square, he thought to use underhanded tactics to attract Jinwoo to a trap. He was willing to kidnap and hurt an innocent person just so that he could satisfy his little desire for revenge. What a sad excuse for an S-rank.

Goto Ryuji

The most hyped-up s-rank

• Country of origin: Japan
• Connection: Blade Guild
• First appearance: Section 20

When Solo department Fans talk about the most disappointing S-RANK HUNTERSThe The first name that will think about is no doubt Goto Ryuji. The reason is simply that the story does so much. When Goto Ryuji was first mentioned in the story, he was named the strongest S-rank in Japan and the closest person to the title of national level Hunter. A swordman who is not only deadly on the battlefield, but also incredibly cunning and ruthless in real life.

When he first met S-ranks in Korea, Goto and his people boasted how he was the strongest hunter in the room. He even seems to be able to go toe-to-toe with Sung Jinwoo, the strongest S-rank in Korea.

Then the real battle happened in Jeju Island, and he was completely helpless against Ant King. Not only that, but he also lost his life to the violent insect before he even got the chance to show what he could. The viewers were eager to see what Japan's best had to offer, but he was defeated embarrassingly within seconds after meeting the big boss. All that hype for nothing.
