Solo Leveling's next Jinwoo Power Up will change his character forever

The Solo Leveling the series is incredibly heavy on action, as that is one of its main appeals. The main character, Sung Jinwoo, grows ever stronger with each passing episode as he tests himself against stronger enemies and pushes himself beyond all his limits. Considering how Jinwoo's overall power works, it goes without saying that he will never really stop evolving.

But Jinwoo's entire character development will take a sharp turn when Solo Leveling returns with his next project, as this is where he will get his strongest power-up, i.e. Black Heart. While it will certainly be incredible for his overall growth in terms of power, this power-up will affect Jinwoo's character arc forever and change him for good.

Sung Jinwoo is incredibly powerful already in Solo Leveling, and it goes without saying that the stronger he gets, the more confident he becomes as well. At the beginning of the series, Sung Jinwoo was weaker than an average E-Rank Hunter, and then his overall personality was much more shy. The stronger he grew, the more confident he became. As Jinwoo puts it, the more he grows in terms of power, the more he feels like he's losing a piece of himself. This makes Jinwoo a brilliant, morally complex character who continues to sacrifice a part of himself for more growth and, in a sense, for the greater good.

Basically, Jinwoo puts his own humanity on the line every time he levels up, but when this reaches an incredibly high level, Jinwoo stops being human and ascends to a god. That's exactly what will happen with his next power-up of Black Heart. As Solo Leveling continues, Jinwoo will eventually find out all the secrets of the system, as well as its creator, and as that happens, he will eventually find out the whole truth about Ashborn and being his true vessel. Although Ashborn does not eventually reincarnate into Jinwoo, he does offer him the power of the Black Heart, making Jinwoo the next Shadow Monarch after him. This essentially takes Jinwoo from being a mortal to a god-like entity and also makes it his darkest power-up to date.

If Jinwoo was cold and brooding in the past, this takes his cold and brutal nature to a whole new level and gives him a god-like complex. Of course, at the end of the day, Jinwoo is still Jinwoo, but without a doubt, when he uses this power, it will completely change his personality.

An even greater fear arises when considering the anime adaptation of Jinwoo's Black Heart power. It's obvious that many of his cute and wholesome moments have been completely removed from the anime to preserve his cool and soft nature. When Jinwoo gets the Black Heart, this will be even more awesome, and it goes without saying that the studio will do their best to make his cool persona shine even more.
