While Solo Leveling Season 2 saw him reach Level 100, he didn't gain his strongest ability, and that's exactly what Solo Leveling Season 3 is there to do. Those who have read the manhwa know very well that Jinwoo will eventually gain the powers of the Shadow Monarch with a unique transformation, and this event could very well come in Solo Leveling Season 3, or if the pacing is slowed down in the upcoming season, then in the season that follows

  • Jinwoo's Best Ability Is Yet To Come
  • He Will Gain Stronger Shadows

Fans of Solo Leveling know very well that Sung Jinwoo is an absolute monster and that he possesses tremendous strength up his sleeve. Jinwoo gained the power to level up early on in the series, and then, he also gained the ability to raise the dead as his very own shadows.

This is what made Jinwoo extremely overpowered. In Solo Leveling Season 2, fans saw Jinwoo raise a bunch of powerful fighters, the strongest of them being the Ant King himself, whom he went on to name Beru. But, this level of power is nothing special when considering the fact that Jinwoo grows even stronger later down the line.

In Solo Leveling Season 3, Jinwoo will gain tremendous power, especially after the events of the Double Dungeon arc. Eventually, Jinwoo will find out the truth about the System, and even the Shadow Monarch, Ashborn. Given that Jinwoo himself is in the running for the power of the Shadow Monarch, fans should know that he will eventually gain a very overpowered transformation. This transformation will take him to the next level and put him on the path of becoming the strongest in the entire series.

Fans who have read the manhwa will, naturally, be wondering whether Solo Leveling Season 3 will adopt Jinwoo's ultimate transformation or not. The answer to that isn't clear-cut, but if the pacing from Solo Leveling Season 2 is maintained, then he absolutely should be covered. Solo Leveling Season 2 adapted up to chapter 110 of the Manhwa, and Jinwoo gains his transformation in Chapter 162, which is just 52 chapters later. Solo Leveling Season 2 adapted over 60 chapters, so chances are that fans will get to see Jinwoo's ultimate ability in Solo Leveling Season 3.

Jinwoo unlocking this power would be the absolutely perfect cliffhanger to end Season 3 on, and it would then lead into the final stretch of the story where Jinwoo fights his strongest enemy, and then, of course, there is also the epilogue. All things considered, Solo Leveling Season 3 could very well give the fans an absolutely incredible Sung Jinwoo transformation.
