Monarch threats get overshadowed when anime icons combine with the power of Solo Leveling.
These fighters get to tilt the scales in the most dangerous battles that Solo Leveling has to offer.
Shadow Saitama or Gojo would almost be a no-contest win for the Shadow Army in Solo Leveling.
Through dungeon raids, the overpowered armies and protagonist Sung Jin-Woo, Solo Leveling has fans all over the world. What makes Jin-Woo so unique is his special ability to convert fallen enemies into his faithful shadows. He gets stronger with every kill. Let’s take a look at anime characters that would make the Shadow Army truly unstoppable if Jin-Woo were to resurrect them via Shadow Extraction.
Being the obvious choice from One Punch Man, Saitama is the only one. His strength is enough to defeat any enemy with just one punch, and he has never been truly injured in a fight. As a shadow, he would become Jin-Woo's trump card.
Saitama working in the Shadow Army would have the dungeon bosses and most Monarchs in Solo Leveling crushed before any opposition tries to come close.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo’s Infinity and Domain Expansion make him nearly untouchable. Limitless ability slows everything to a crawl, making all attacks useless. As a Shadow, Gojo can bottle the Deadliest Monarch inside his Unlimited Void, making all of them worthless.
Gojo's control of space and cursed energy would elevate Solo Leveling's army to a new level of supremacy with magic.
The Chimera Ant King from Hunter x Hunter merges savage strength with incredible intellect. He constantly evolves against new threats and tactics while in battle. The introduction of Shadow Meruem to Solo Leveling means that the Shadow Army gets one of the best battlefield strategists and combat assets.
He would be a combination of raw power and intellect, leading an assault or countering a Monarch’s magic. This would completely change the way the Shadow Army fights.
Asta is the protagonist of Black Clover with no magic abilities of his own—and yet, his Anti-Magic Swords can counter just about every magic-based attack. In the Solo Leveling world, where many foes tend to rely on higher-tier magic, having Asta around would be great.
As a Shadow, Asta would break down magical barriers, get rid of curses, and destroy powerful spellcasters.
In Naruto, Minato, the Fourth Hokage, uses the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport across the battlefield instantly. He exterminates dozens of enemies within the blink of an eye. His speed and accuracy would come in very handy in killing dungeon mobs or taking down elite guards in Solo Leveling. He would be a terrifying presence in Jin-Woo's army.
The special property of Fire Force's Shinra lies in his going faster than light and space-time bending. Within the active status of his Adolla Burst, time can be reversed, or he may kick the air so fast that it ignites.
For Solo Leveling, Shinra would offer high-speed assassination and teleportation-like utility, ideal for navigating tight dungeon spaces and countering Monarch ambushes.
A berserker of Bleach, Kenpachi thrives off chaos. His spiritual pressure crushes his enemies, and when the sword unleashes its true form, it slashes through dimensions.
A Shadow Kenpachi would act as an all-purpose enforcer for Jin-Woo, slaughtering hordes with pure, unrestrained violence—perfect for large-scale dungeon invasions.
Escanor in "Seven Deadly Sins" is tremendously powerful at high noon. He becomes invincible for one minute while in his "One" form. If Jin-Woo can control Shadow Escanor for his uses, he would be practically unstoppable with huge solar strikes and flares. During the day, Escanor would be the nuclear bomb of Jinwoo’s army.
Ainz from Overlord is a necromancer who can wipe out armies single-handedly. With his Reality Slash and Grasp Heart spells, he can instantly kill an entire army. Shadow Ainz, with his undead minions and barrier spells, serves to boost Solo Leveling's magical line-up and serves as a counter to enemy sorcerers or magical Monarchs.
In One Piece, Jozu can turn his body into an essentially indestructible diamond. With his Armament Haki, he could even enhance defense and power to his physical strikes.
As a Shadow, Jozu would serve perfectly as a shield for Jin-Woo and his generals, standing in front to block their magical and physical attacks from high-level dungeon bosses.
The addition of these ten characters in Solo Leveling would alter the dynamics of each battle. Each character will bring some special strength and a different characteristic to the table. These characters bring raw power, magical resistance, speed, tactics, or defense.
This might tip the scales in favor of Jin-Woo's Shadow Army in impossible fights. From Saitama's one-punch finishes to Gojo's infinite defense to Ainz's spell-based warfare, anime crossovers like these would reshape Solo Leveling into an unstoppable multiverse conquest.
