in Single levelingStrength is not something you train; It is hereditary. During a person's initial awakening as a hunter, mana is counted once. It gives them a status, which remains permanent. An E-Rank will always be an E-Rank, and even the most talented A-Rank hunter will spend a lifetime realizing that he will never become an S-Rank. It's the ugly truth of the system: You're born lucky, or you're not.
This is why S-Rank hunters are a special class in their own right. They are the exception in a world where power does not change easily. But these immeasurable elites are divided again on another level: hunters are so strong that they are the weapon of a nation rather than an individual. National level hunters are not ranked in the system; They are outside the system.
Single Level: S-Rank Korean Hunter, explained
Korea's ten S-Rank hunters stand at the pinnacle of power, each with unique abilities that shape the world of solo leveling.
S-Rank: Ceiling of mana scale
Why S-Rank is not the real peak as we first thought
The reason S-rank is a term is that measurement technology cannot be done with a specific value value. In cases where the association cannot measure the predator's energy, it gives the highest possible classification. This does not imply that all S-Ranks are the same; It just indicates that they are all off the charts. As a result, the difference in strength between S-Rank hunters is huge. Hunters like Choi Jong-In and Baek Yoonho don't compare to how strong a hunter like Goto Ryuji is, yet he was quickly defeated by the Ant-King. It's clear that they're capable of clearing high-level gates, but they're still not at the same level as characters like Thomas Andre or Late Story's Sung Jin-woo.
S-Rank isn't a rank as much as it is all ranks of the Unspeakable. S-Rank hunters, despite their good reputation, are only awakened humans. They draw upon the personal reserves of the mind; Their bodies are limited, and they can be swamped by enemies of the King's power level. They symbolize the highest potential of people, but they are still subject to world laws.

National level hunters: Special authority category
A special category created after the Kamish disaster
The name of the rank, also known as National Rank Hunters, or World's Strongest Hunters, was formed after the Kamis disaster, the first S-Rank Gate Break in the United States. Kamish was a giant dragon magical beast that caused such great destruction that humanity had never seen before. A few hunters survived the battle, which later brought down the creature, and those who survived were crowned national-level hunters.
In contrast to the S-category classification, status at the national level is not only identified by the Mana scale. It is a military and political title that recognizes those with the ability to serve as a deterrent on a global scale. Governments consider these hunters not only as citizens but as strategic assets, and, therefore, they enjoy more influence and autonomy than is afforded to the average hunter. Their existence could change the balance of world power.
Single level: 7 strong dungeon bosses, ranked
Solo leveling features several dungeon bosses that are even more powerful than top hunters. Among them, these stand out.
The Elite Five: Kamish Red Survivors
Five people recognized as the strongest people in the world
Five known national-level hunters Single leveling The world is known. Thomas Andrey can be seen as the symbol of the United States, which is the most powerful of them, and Liu Zhigang is the strongest hunter of China. In the original story, the known survivors of the Kamish attack are filled in by Christopher Reed (the second strongest hunter in the United States) and Siddharth Bachchan, the strongest hunter in India, but very little is known about him throughout the series.
The fifth national-level hunter who was recently revealed in Solo Leveling: ARISE is Antoine Martinez, although not much has been confirmed about him so far, other than he's a healer and the only one who isn't a ruler vessel. In the game, he is a melee specialty hunter, so we can safely assume that he provides healing and strength buffs to the rest of the national hunters during Commis raids. Combined, the five of them are humanity's greatest militarily-matched force before the Monarch War reaches its climax. They are not only distinguished in their position but survived one of the most disastrous events in the history of hunting.
Ruler's Rights: The True Power Gap
The power to separate national level hunters
The fact that national rank hunters and S-Rank hunters differ not only in pure mana production but also in the existence of a ruler's authority really differentiates the two. These hunters are vessels of the rulers (ancient enemies of the kings), and as such, have telekinetic powers that enable them to influence objects and enemies without expending mana in the traditional way. This power itself is an indicator that they differ from regular hunters in the source of their power.
7 strong guild masters at single level, ranked
Very few hunters can go toe-to-toe against these guild masters in solo leveling.
This distinction is well demonstrated by Thomas Andre. His power to strengthen his body transforms it into an almost indestructible thing, while his ruler's authority enables him to rule the battlefield without being directly affected. Liu Zhigang also exhibits such extreme combat skills that he is beyond a normal S-Rank hunter. For them, their power is not only great, but it is of another origin altogether.
When S-Rank is not the peak of power
S-Rank Hunters are celebrity hunters for the general public, concerned with the safety of a world where gates and demons abound. They are very few, strong and vital to the survival of humanity. But the scale of national level hunters is such that the ranking system becomes meaningless. They are not only rated on their ability to clear dungeons but also on their ability to protect entire nations.
So the gap between S-Rank and national level hunters in the story seems huge. One of them is the ultimate awakening of mankind; Another is closer to divine intervention. As Sung Jin-woo begins to outwit the national-level hunters, the story reflects a certainty that he is no longer operating under the hunter system in any way—he is completely different and far above.
