Solo Leveling Jinwoo vs Thomas Andre is one of the battles that excited me the most from the beginning to the end of the story. Have you ever wondered why this match made the Wibu community talk so much? Not only because of the two "super big" names, but also because this is the peak moment for both strength and emotion.
Jinwoo vs Thomas: Clash of Two “Monsters”
It all started with a misunderstanding and pride. Thomas Andre, a national-level hunter, was not only strong but also arrogant because of his absolute physical strength. Meanwhile, Jinwoo, a master of speed, tactics, and shadow control, chose to act coldly but extremely decisively.

On one side is Jinwoo, who almost died in the darkness, from the weakest to the one who carries the world. On the other side is Thomas Andre, the pinnacle of American power, who believes in pure strength to maintain order. And when these two extremes meet, there is no other way but to fight to resolve it.
Jinwoo: The King of Darkness and the Art of Military Command
In Solo Leveling Jinwoo vs Thomas Andre, what fans like about Jinwoo is not just his strength but his strategy. He doesn't rush into a solo right away. He observes, lets Thomas strike first, reads the rhythm, measures the distance, and then strikes precisely like a cheetah.
Especially the way Jinwoo used the shadow to move and counterattack. Not just a simple teleportation, Jinwoo dodged, counterattacked and disappeared before the opponent could even form a plan. Thomas was used to the idea of “offense is the best defense”, so Jinwoo’s mobility and versatility made him constantly out of breath.

Jinwoo commanded a group of shadow soldiers like Igris and King Ant Beru to attack from multiple directions. Not every Hunter could stay calm amidst such a whirlwind of attacks. He turned the battle into a chess game where each card had a strategy.
Thomas Andre: Violent and overwhelming power
During the climactic clash between Thomas Andre and Jinwoo, Thomas' most prominent skill was Reinforcement, the ability to enhance his physical abilities to near-absolute levels. Thomas's body became a living fighting machine: flesh as hard as armor, strength beyond all human limits, and each punch could crush concrete like mud.

Thomas did not use any weapons, as his body was the ultimate weapon. When facing Jinwoo, he threw a series of punches with his bare hands, each punch carrying a terrifying shockwave, causing the ground to crack and the surrounding air to shatter. Even though Jinwoo had increased his reaction, he still had to avoid direct confrontation. The moment Jinwoo was grabbed by the head and slammed into the ground multiple times by Thomas was when fans really… held their breath.
However, Jinwoo, with his speed and flexible tactics, blocked straight and counterattacked with a sledgehammer punch. That made this match not just a chase, but a contest of absolute speed and power.

Not to gang up on Thomas, but to show off the power of someone who was about to enter the world of kings. Jinwoo soloed the entire match, but was still able to summon hundreds of shadows with just a snap of his fingers, which was overwhelming.
Thomas tried to fight back until the last minute, but he was the one who had to realize: he had mistakenly stepped into the playground of a "different class". In the end, Thomas acknowledged Jinwoo's strength, and Jinwoo did not need to be restrained any longer. The handshake between the two was a truly touching detail. From opponents to allies, a gentle but extremely valuable transformation.
