Solo Leveling Sequel Reveals Jinwoo’s Son Will Never Match His Dad’s Aura

by

Honestly, I don’t think any anime character *quite* radiates the same power as Sung Jinwoo. People talk about others, and for a while, I thought his son, Sung Suho from *Solo Leveling: Ragnarok*, might get there eventually. But the newest chapter of the sequel pretty much confirms it – Suho just doesn’t have that same incredible presence his dad does. It’s clear Jinwoo is in a league of his own!

In chapter 58 of *Solo Leveling: Ragnarok*, Sung Suho prepares to gather aura in a way that mirrors his father’s methods. But when the opportunity arises, he intentionally chooses not to, because it doesn’t feel right for him. It’s always been admirable how Suho strives to forge his own path, even if it means he won’t reach the same level of aura gathering as Jinwoo. Ultimately, this desire for individuality is what truly makes Suho a compelling hero.

Sung Suho Chooses Substance Over Style in Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Chapter 58

Chapter 58 of *Solo Leveling: Ragnarok* continues the intense fight between Sung Suho and Hwang Dongsoo, who used to be known as Greed and served in Jinwoo’s army. Hwang Dongsoo is a very powerful S-Rank Hunter, and Suho can’t beat him in a direct fight without using his shadow powers. To become stronger, Suho creates a complete set of Shadow Armor using his Shadow Creation skill. This armor is very similar to the one Sung Jinwoo wore during his toughest battle against Antares.

Seeing Sung Jinwoo decked out in the Shadow Monarch’s armor was a truly powerful moment – definitely one of the most memorable in the series. When Sung Suho wore the same gear, he looked incredible, and it really made me think he was destined to be like his father. But then, something unexpected happened. Just as his aura was about to reach its highest point, he deliberately stopped it, preventing the armor from fully forming around him. It was a really surprising choice.

Sung Suho used the System to conceal the visual effects of his Shadow Monarch armor. While still benefiting from its power boost, he preferred not to show off the outfit, finding it too flashy. This choice, however, meant he would never be able to achieve the same impressive presence his father had during the battle against Antares.

Despite everything, Suho still manages to be impressive. There’s a striking scene where he stands in his father’s shadow, demonstrating his own powerful presence even without relying on the same magical equipment. Importantly, Suho deliberately chose a different path than his father when developing his abilities, which reinforces a core part of his personality and the story’s themes.

Sung Subo’s Journey in Solo Leveling Has Always Been About Finding His Own Way Forward

From the very beginning, when Sung Suho appeared in the ending of *Solo Leveling*, it was obvious he wouldn’t follow the same life as his father. Suho is an incredibly gifted child, but his immense power needed to be restrained by Jinwoo to prevent accidental harm. While Jinwoo could have immediately unleashed Suho’s full potential, he made the smart decision to gradually restore Suho’s abilities as he matured and proved himself.

Watching Suho grow has been amazing! He really developed a strong character, learning what it *actually* takes to become strong – it’s not just about power, but about hard work and understanding struggle. It was cool to see him figure out what *he* was good at, and how he differed from his dad. You see, while Jinwoo wasn’t much for art, Suho always had this incredible artistic talent. He was drawing detailed pictures as a little kid, and it blossomed into beautiful paintings as he got older. It’s like, that creativity was just *always* inside him.

As Suho developed his Shadow Monarch powers during his teenage years, he discovered he could be inventive with them. This creativity allowed him to progress much quicker than Sung Jinwoo. Instead of simply creating Shadow Soldiers, Suho could actually *craft* objects using his shadows, giving him a distinct advantage.

Suho had a turning point when he understood he didn’t have to follow his father’s path to become strong and help him. For a long time, he believed that was the *only* way. It was a significant realization that he could create his own destiny and be unique, which is a key part of what makes him such a compelling character. This is why it feels so true to his personality that he’d conceal his powerful Shadow Armor, even though it would have made him even stronger.

Suho Might Still Become Stronger Than Jinwoo – He Just Won’t Look as Cool Doing It

Sung Suho forged his own unique path, developing abilities that surpassed even his father’s. Unlike Jinwoo, who used his Shadow Soldiers as a traditional fighting force, Suho cleverly transforms his Shadows *into* useful items. This allows him to not only strengthen himself, but also boost the power of his teammates. While Jinwoo dominated the battlefield, Suho offers a different approach, creating opportunities for others to shine.

By treating others as equals and inspiring them to fight with him, Suho ultimately has the potential to become far more powerful. He can rally allies to his side and even enhance his own Shadow Army using Shadows. This contrasts with Jinwoo’s victory over Antares in *Solo Leveling*, which depended on the timely intervention of the Rulers. Jinwoo needed their power to defeat the Monarch of Destruction, highlighting the advantage of having strong companions rather than facing challenges alone.

Sung Suho is quickly developing and understanding things that took Sung Jinwoo the entire story of *Solo Leveling* to figure out. He’s a natural talent, learning skills faster than his father did. This suggests that Suho has the potential to become even more powerful than his dad in the future.

In chapter 58 of *Solo Leveling: Ragnarok*, even Beru recognizes the incredible potential of his young master, Suho. Beru realizes Suho might become a powerful warrior, capable of fighting alongside his father, much sooner than anticipated. While Suho doesn’t seek attention for his strength, it’s clear how formidable he is. His refusal to focus on traditional aura training shows how different he is from his father, and this unique approach could eventually allow him to become even stronger than Sung Jinwoo.
