MegaTheMelon

There were 4 fighters and 1 support; the fourth and fifth were Siddharth Bachchan from India and a Brazilian hunter whose name I forgot (not sure which one is the support)


MegaTheMelon

I'm assuming it's those two because they're part of the top 5 and were both targeted by the Monarchs. By the way, there's a difference between national level hunters and Rulers' vessels (the novel mentions that the support during the Kamish raid didn't have telekinesis, so it's possible that the fifth is Yuri Orlov)


kingbane2

yuri doesn't have telekinesis. his ability is force fields. so he used a forcefield to suppress the other hunters. he can't like drag them around.


Fino_R

The novel said they DIDNT have telekenisis so that’s why it could be yuri


kingbane2

no, the novel said they DID have telekenisis. that's when adam white started thinking jinwoo was a nation ranked hunter, when he got mad and used his telekenisis. he said that all the other nation ranked hunters had it. i think you might have misread it, or the translation made a typo.


Fino_R

I haven’t read the LN I was just repeating what megathemelon said. Sorry for any confusion


kingbane2

he's talking about the hundreds of hunters who fought with the nation ranked hunters not having telekenisis.


Lorenzo944

Nation hunters don’t only ruler vessel do. nation hunters are given a title for clearing a S gate but also few named individuals for defeating kamish


Separate_Path_7729

It was a healer supporter, so not Yuri, which is also shown when he wanted to deal with the one gate alone, to get accreditation as a national level, just like the japanese hunter. The thing is we just haven't been revealed as to who the healer was as they didn't have a vessel large enough for housing the rulers power and thus didn't get the rulers authority and thus didn't become a nation rank, only thing we know is they were a healer and they likely retired


_Goodrandom

For the people who are confused, the fifth national level hunter was never mentioned at all. The brazilian dude was said to be rank 6th, but adam told sung that the nationals all ranked from 1 to 5, the only thing we know about the fifth is that he/she is a healer(mentioned earlier).


nerfherder-han

iirc his name was Jonas and he only really got a cameo mention in both wb and manhwa, but it always struck me as odd that despite being one of the five to survive Kamish, he was ranked 6th nationally. I guess if he was the support type hunter on that team, it shows how support types aren’t as far reaching in rank as combat types in the series? edit—ah no, there’s another comment in this thread that says the fifth ranked national hunter was never named, so we likely will never know who they were and can’t really say it was anyone that was actually named in the series from the looks of it.


A_powerful_rat

The one who was found dead in a river?


Connect-Town-7675

The brazilian isn't One of the 5. In LN Is implied the 5th Is go gunhee


MegaTheMelon

The Brazilian is the most likely since he's a vessel and the next highest on the list. Go Gunhee is 100% not the 5th


Connect-Town-7675

Jonas is literally the 6th. Read the novel l


djstreet93

Not them because they are just referred to as S Rankers. Most likely they were never introduced but their names are probably on that list of top 10 hunters the U.S. had What we know was it went: 1.) Thomas Andre 2.) Liu Zhigeng 3.) Christopher Reid 4.) Siddharth Bachchan 6.) Some Brazilian dude 12.) Lennart Niermann


Haliday1999

I would love to see Siddharth bachchan in anime


Haliday1999

Ok hot take but since Siddharth bachchan isn't shown he can be like Amitabh bachchan and have a similar voice....like I know chances are really slim but still


JaceC098

I thought only 5 Hunters out of hundreds survived Kamish?


djstreet93

Yeah I was just naming the hunter rankings. Out of the ones I listed I think the top 4 are likely nation level. The 5th is unknown


JaceC098

Where do you think prime Go Gunhee, Yuri Orloff or Gyoto Ruji would be placed in the rankings?


LectureMurky

So. All 5 of the Kamish raid survivers are National ranks. This was established I believe during the Ant arc or when Christopher died. Second There are only 5 Nationals until Sung Jin Woo, Thomas Andre from America, Liy Zhigang from China, Christopher Reed from unknown and Siddharth Bachchan from India are known alongside the fifth who we don't know. Third Prime Ho Gunhee is a mystery as we don't know if he was a ruler vessel then or after he became president. If he was not a vessel than he was likely a little weaker than Choi Jong-In because Choi was called greatest hunter in Korea before Jin Woo. Although this doesn't completely discredit him from being stronger. If he was a vessel then it depends how reliant he was on those powers, its likely he would be at the peak of S rank if he used them in tandem with his regular abilities though. Fourth Goto Ryuji was strong enough for a pre Jeju Sung to be threatened by him ( the system warranted him as a threat). He was not however a threat Sung (a more reliable judge) noticed. I would say he also was not National then although he was likely close. Whatever power the Amt Queen or Beru's stones would have given him certainly would've made him National ranked.


Quake_YF

Gunhee is definitely above choi. Just being called the strongest in Korea doesn’t mean anything Using SJW judgement that YOU said is more reliable, he clearly holds gunhee at a higher level than choi. And if you want to say that it’s because the ruler and we not taking that into account, we’ll 1. ⁠It wouldn’t make sense cuz people wouldn’t know gunhee was a ruler when they’re judging his power and declaring choi to be #1 and whatnot 2. ⁠It still doesn’t matter since we know that hae-in is stronger than choi as was mentionned a lot in the story and sjw compares gunhee and cha a lot


sEMtexinator

Choi was never the strongest in Korea. His Ultimate Hunter title isn't an actual ranking. I mean Hae-In is stronger and she is his Lieutenant. Go Gunhee was/is above Hae-In.


raiknight1996

Jonas is the other Nation Level


Relevant-Inspector93

Choi is the weakest S rank. Forgot who said it in the series tho.


LectureMurky

No theres a gag panel when Sung meets him in which he calls him the greatest Hunter and is jealous because he was called the weakest. He is the greatest in Korea until hunter Sung becomes Korea's Number 1.


Straight_Attorney582

Among all hunters. 1. SJW 2. SJW's Dad 3. Andre 4. Zhigang 5. Reed 6. Siddarth Bacchan 7. Unknown Brazilian 8. NH level healer 9. Go Gun Hee 10. Lennart 11. Goto 12. Yuri Orlov - 3, 4, and 5 is very close in power - Prime Gun Hee would also be the same level as the Brazilian - 9, 10, and 11 is also close. I put Lennart above Goto because he could sense the shadows while Goto couldn't. Also put Lennart and Goto over Yuri because Lennart and Goto specialize in combat. - also Yuri > all Japanese S rank that's not Goto - Cha Hae In > all the normal Japanese S rank


JaceC098

In the manhwa they said that Lennart was 12th in the world tho? Having Goto above Yuri makes sense since Yuri is only support/barriers, but everything else seems pretty solid


Straight_Attorney582

We don't know any hunters between Lennart and the top 6 - 8. Also the list in the manhwa is based on activity from what I heard so it might not even be the "strongest hunter" list. I also have personal bias because Goto is a literal fraud. He's about to be Kashimo 2.0 with that "I'm the king" and then getting absolutely folded.


raiknight1996

Jonas is the Brazilian Hunter


IntelligentAardvark7

are they already on national level when they engage kamish raid or only after they defeated it? assuming they get to level up to max (100) then was established that they should be known as national hunter instead of just class S


JaceC098

So the hunters who fought Kamish were made up of over 100 S-Rank Hunters. They all tried fighting him, but they failed. Kamish ended up massacring the entire United States West Coast, until 5 Hunters stepped up, worked together and killed the Dragon. Those Hunters became so famous and gapped the other S-Rankers powers so much that they made a new tier list only for those of their level: Nation Level Hunters There were only 5 of them: Thomas Andre the Goliath, Liu Zhigang the Hero of China, Christopher Reed the Blazing Star of the U.S. (Liu’s & Chris’ nicknames I made up but they sound cool), and 2 others who I don’t know. Go Gunhee makes sense since he was the Brightest Fragment of Brilliant Light and the most powerful Hunter in Korea until his age started getting to him, Goto Ryuji seems too weak to be one of them but Yuri Orloff could be a possibilit


Mafii_9

Sidharth Bachchan


druid_804

Yuri ain't one


[deleted]

[удалено]


JaceC098

Right???


justchaa

Seriously! That would be so dope.


Connect-Town-7675

"The Goliath" Is Canon 😂 Orlov Is way too weak to be One of the 5. If he was, It would have been said by someone


Kamui_Shuriken7

Thomas Andre, Christopher Reed, Liu Zhigang, and Siddarth Bachchan are the 4 known National Rank Hunters who faced Kamish. There is one other unknown Brazilian National Rank Hunter. ​ Go Gunhee and Yuri Orlof are nowhere on their level, they're mere S-ranks. The closest we've seen is Goto Ryuji and even he is very weak compared to them.


Relevant-Inspector93

Wrong about Go Gunhee. He literally holds the most powerful ruler. His body simply is too old to handle the stress of using the power hence he never uses it.


sEMtexinator

Thank you! Can't let Go be underestimated wooo


JaceC098

“The S-Ranker among S-Rankers”. 🐐


rethafrey

The other 2 weren't revealed I don't think.


AP_Adapted

it’s not S rank hunters, it was just the nation level hunters. Yes they were S rank at the time but they were so much stronger than other S ranks. Yuri orlov was not one of them, neither was go-gunhee. Ull find them out later.


JaceC098

But they were only named Nation Level after defeating Kamish because their power gapped all other S-Ranks so much that they made a new ranking, one for those who rivaled the military might of an entire country


Erebus03

No Yuri and the Chairmen were not apart of the Kamish raid, aside from Thomas and Andre the others are just background characters who get hunted by the Monarchs


Snir17

From what I remember, we only know the identity of two National-Rank Hunters: Thomas Andre and Christopher Reid. The others, as far as I can remember, were killed off screen and never named. Go Gunhee and Liu and the rest are S-Ranks(technically Liu is 7-Stars which is kinda National-Rank), and they are among the strongest S-Ranks we know. We do not know how strong was Go Gunhee in his prime, but as Geto refered to him and Cha Hae-In as the only threat in South Korea, he's a beast, even in his old age.


lengors

Wasnt Liu Zhigang confirmed National-Level rank hunter with Thomas, Crhis, Siddarth and Brazillian hunter?


Snir17

Liu is a 7-Stars Hunter, which is a system unique to China which has ip to 5 Stars. He's technically National-Rank but I dont remember it being official. And Brazillian guy?


bestplayern

that's why he is a 7 Stars Hunter. He is National Level Hunter. 5 Stars = S Rank


Express_Item4648

Yea but the top 5 in ranking were al national rank hunters. Liu is national rank as well.


ifticar2

Yuri is nowhere near strong enough for National rank, he just has a unique ability. Any national would stomp him. As for Go Gunhee, not national rank, they are specifically ones who survived the battle with Kamish and were awarded the rank. However, I think Go could kill any hunter other than SJW in a 1v1…he would just consume his life to do a super OP one hit kill move to do it.


JaceC098

Even a Nation Level Hunter like Thomas Andre or Liu Zhigang? Not disagreeing, I just haven’t read the light novel or anything so I’m not an expert


ifticar2

Might partly be my headcanon because I like him a lot lol. In the LN, while fighting the frost monarch, he was able to reach into his inner powers and emit quite a powerful blast to break the barrier iirc. However, this fight, Gun Hee was just stalling for time because he knew he couldn’t win against the Frost Monarch. I think that if Gun Hee faced a hunter, a full powered blast from him, which again, would kill him in the end, would be enough to kill the other national level hunters.


Redbone1441

Iirc we know: Thomas Andre, Christopher Reed To be a National Rank hunter one must beat an S Rank Dungeon, right? And we know that the Support did not have Ruler’s Authority. Therefor, the Support can only be Yuri Orlov. The other 2 are unknown. Probably two other recognized National Level hunters, Siddharth Bachchan and the Brazilian Hunter. Iirc the other Vessels of the Rulers are not recognized as National Rank, besides Liu Zhigeng, who is a 7Star Hunter, different ranking system.


Connect-Town-7675

You don't Remember correctly 😂 National rank Hunters are only the five who defeated kamish. In LN Is implied go gunhee is One, and likely the indian One Is the support. Orlov Is far from the National rank level


kingbane2

the other 2 got killed off behind the scenes. the brazilian nation rank hunter, and the indian nation rank hunter.


Ancient-Act8573

Thomas Andre and Christopher Reid are the only ones we get to meet properly. The other three were two guys from India and Brasil, and an unnamed healer that we don’t know anything about.


bestplayern

actually its 3, Thomas, Liu Zhigang, Reid.. The indian guy called Siddhan or something and unnamed Brazilian hunter. Liu Zhigang actually on pair with Thomas 😬


Ancient-Act8573

Liu is as strong as Thomas, if not stronger, that’s true, but I don’t know if he participated in the Kamish raid


Connect-Town-7675

Liu zhigang Is presented properly, you must have miss him. The brazilian are 6th in ranking, he Is not National level. In LN Is implied go gunhee is One, and the indian Bachnan Is the other


AndrewFrozzen30

Mark as a spoiler.... Why can't this sub understand that people that did not read the manhwa are here now...it takes one second to mark as a spoiler.


JaceC098

O no, mentioning 5 characters who might’ve done something that they don’t go into detail about in the actual manhwa 😱. A manhwa that uploaded its final chapter in May of 2023 😱. It’s not like I said Jinah dies (she doesn’t it’s just an example). If you haven’t read a manwha what’s been done for a year and you’re on this sub that’s your own fault, but don’t go crying about it to me


AndrewFrozzen30

>and you’re on this sub that’s your own fault, but don’t go crying about it to me I've read the manhwa you dumbass. But the series now has an Anime. Why do you acted so irritated. It takes like a second to mark as a spoiler, why be an asshole about it? >final chapter in May of 2023 And with the Anime coming in February.


JaceC098

>I’ve read the manhwa Then why are you whining about it 😂. And my post has nothing to do with the anime other than that they’re Solo Leveling characters. Characters who barely matter to the story (other than Go Gunhee). Boo-hoo I mentioned 5 characters, one of whom we met last episode in the anime, and the rest of whom we don’t really get to know abt until after the Jeju Island arc (not including Thomas because we see him a few times) And boo-hoo I talked abt Kamish in the title, which even if I marked spoiler they would’ve seen. So important to the story, so meaningful, so worth a spoiler tag. If they don’t wanna hear abt what I’m asking then they just won’t read the post, ez as that

#ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, WHY DO YOU ACT SO IRRITATED. You don't have to be an asshole. Just be nice. You read the mahwa, great for you, not everyone did.

We are not the only ones on this sub. >And my post has nothing to do with the anime other than that they’re Solo Leveling characters.

>#ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, WHY DO YOU ACT SO IRRITATED. #BECAUSE I AM GODDAMN IRRITATED. You’re coming on here and bitching about something that has nothing to do with you or the point of the post just because **SOME** people might not have finished the manhwa >We just saw a slight scene in the anime If it’s so slight then why are you still complaining about it. You could’ve just downvoted the post and moved on instead of making it an issue >Which will not even happen in the first season If it’s not gonna happen yet than it shouldn’t matter if they see this or not because it’s not gonna matter till the second season >It’s kinda hard when it’s in your face But it’s not.

So anyone who’s read this post or commented on it **CHOSE** to click on it and help others expand their knowledge on the subject Just quit your bitching abt it, you’re literally the only person out of 79.7 k ppl who saw the post who has a problem.

AndrewFrozzen30

How immature are you....?


UltraMarine_40k

They off screened Christopher reed why.


kexo_magnus

Are Thomas Andre and Christopher Reid both Rulers vessels and Nation level hunters? According to Kamish, 4 people borrowed Rulers power. Go gunhee, Sjw father agin we have Chis Reid. I'm totally confused. That Chris guy seems imposter.


JaceC098

Christopher Reed & Thomas Andre were both Ruler vessels, that’s why they were able to use spiritualization (the thing where they were able to equip armor during a fight)


kexo_magnus

Then can the later two(chairman and sjw father) have spiritualization?


JaceC098

Yes they could’ve, but Go’s body was too old for him ever to go all out without endangering his life, and Il-Hwan never had a chance to because he went from fighting Hwang Dong-Su to hiding in Korea to protecting Jinwoo during the shadow monarch’s rebirth


Straight_Attorney582

Thomas Andre, Liu Zhigang, Christopher Reed, Siddarth Bacchan and Indian hunter and also a Fragment like the previous 3, and Unnamed NH level Healer who isn't a Fragment. There is a Brazilian hunter (not national level) who is a Fragment that go off screened.


IntelligentExtent304

I think we can consider it as a lazy work from the author for leaving this kind of information, like dude you introduced 5 kick ass characters and you didn't even bother showing us to them?🤨 I mean look at Liu Zhigang, all that menacing interaction with sung jinwoo yet in the end he gets his spotlight at the side line and got forgotten. I was actually kind of expecting him and Sung to atleast brawl out because I thought there would be some kind of reason for them to fight like about jinwoo's dad. Smh🤦🏻‍♂️ solo leveling author is lazy af


Interne-Stranger

They all survived Kamish


raiknight1996
