Sung Jin-Woo vs Goku, Gojo, and Saitama: Who’s the Strongest Anime Character?

When it comes to anime powerhouses, it’s usually a three-man show: Goku from Dragon Ball, Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, and the bald-headed menace Saitama from One Punch Man. But now, stepping straight out of the gates of hell (literally), is a new contender: Sung Jin-Woo from Solo Leveling.

He's dark, he's broody, and his army of shadows makes most final bosses look like training dummies. But how does our favorite South Korean Hunter stack up against the gods of anime strength? Let’s dive into this chaotic comparison.

 

 

Power Level: Who’s the Strongest?

• Goku breaks physics for breakfast. Ultra Instinct? Time travel? He’s basically a deity on a protein shake.

• Gojo Satoru is the walking cheat code. Infinity? Limitless? Dude’s untouchable unless your name is Sukuna.

• Saitama? One punch. That’s it. That’s the joke—and the flex.

• Sung Jin-Woo? Shadow Monarch energy. He solos armies, resurrects elite bosses as his minions, and gets stronger with every kill.

Verdict: In raw destructive capability, Goku and Saitama still edge it. But Jin-Woo’s strategic, RPG-style scaling gives him a tactical edge—and Beru alone could solo most anime casts.

 

 

Brains & Battle IQ:

• Gojo has the smarts of a jaded sensei with centuries of cursed knowledge.

• Goku... well, he learns mid-fight, but strategy? That’s Vegeta’s lane.

• Saitama doesn't need brains. He just shows up and vibes.

• Jin-Woo, however, plans. He sets traps, scouts dungeons, and micromanages an undead army like a boss-tier RTS player.

Verdict: Jin-Woo outthinks most of them. Sorry, Goku.

 

 

Cool Factor & Drip Check

• Gojo walks into a room, and it becomes a fan cam. Sunglasses. Sarcasm. Slay.

• Saitama... wears a cape over pajamas. Ironically iconic.

• Goku keeps it classic orange gi, but it’s not exactly high fashion.

• Sung Jin-Woo? All-black fit, icy glare, shadow cloak. He is the drip.

Verdict: Jin-Woo and Gojo tie for style, but Jin-Woo wins in mysterious hot loner energy.

 

The Vibe: Hero, Anti-Hero, or Something Else?

• Goku is the friendly himbo savior of Earth.

• Gojo? A morally grey protector with a savior complex and a wicked sense of humor.

• Saitama is overpowered and underwhelmed by life. He's the meme.

• Sung Jin-Woo? A humble king turned demon-slaying warlord. His journey from weakling to monarch is straight-up peak storytelling.

Verdict: Jin-Woo gives us that Zuko meets Batman meets RPG god vibe. It’s a whole mood.

 

Final Thoughts: Who Wins the Throne?

Honestly? It depends on what you’re looking for.

• Want raw power? Saitama’s got it.

• Want god-tier technique? Goku is your guy.

• Want style and swagger? Gojo says hello.

• But if you want a dark horse with brains, brawn, an undead army, and endless growth potential? Sung Jin-Woo just entered the anime royalty chat—and he’s not leaving anytime soon.
