The world of anime is booming like never before, which means it can feel even more like an exhaustive search to find that next “fix” of animated treasure than it has been for Luffy to find the elusive “One Piece.” And, speaking of *One Piece, 2024* is a year that many anime classics are finally coming to journey’s end, and it’s completely understandable that you are staring down the dark abyss of a show hole with a level of existential dread in your anime viewing that is fitting for Evangelion. 

Even if you find yourself bidding farewell to a favorite that may never return, even reincarnated as slime, there are many new up-and-coming classics that are ready to delight. 

Take a peek at some of the [best anime to watch in 2024](https://www.plazajapan.com/blog/top-anime-to-watch-in-2024/), namely the underrated gems in anime that have made it into our "book"; we checked it for traces of Shinigami before writing them down.


## My Deer Friend Nokotan
### Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan

![My Deer Friend Nokotan: Season 1, Episode 1 {1467x824}{caption: My Deer Friend Nokotan: Season 1, Episode 1}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024-inline-2024-09-01T15%3A51%3A03.233Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=2fd0deeb-5d95-44df-b30a-4347570e3530)

This anime’s first episode reputation precedes itself, as you have likely already seen memes and spin-offs of a high school girl with deer antlers crashing her way onto a screen near you. It’s also possible you’ve already heard the incredibly catchy opening song that features the equally catchy Japanese title of the anime, *Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan*. 

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a girl enrolled at your high school, but it turns out she was actually a deer or deer hybrid, instantly sussed out that your “perfect student” status is hiding a more sinister truth, and used that to blackmail you and charm your classmates into feeding you unlimited senbei, or deer cookies? ….No? Well, have you ever been one of those people who has always wanted to feed the wildlife, even if you know it’s a bad idea? After this anime, you’ll be glad to get some answers to this vital question and even happier to know that the answers are even more bizarre than the question itself. 

Be a deer and enjoy this [quirky take](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2024/summer/my-deer-friend-nokotan/.212241) on a classic Japanese high school drama trope, complete with a completely endearing homage to the love of deer that is quintessential to traditional Japanese culture.

## Mashle: Magic and Muscles

![Mashle Opening {1467x805}{caption: OP from Mashle: Magic and Muscles}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024-inline-2024-09-01T15%3A46%3A41.276Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=864855e9-96ad-4372-9687-d7195f284c29)

There’s another anime that has become a hit even before pressing the “play” button, and that is Mashle, whose Season 2 opener got the whole world dancing. However, the real magic of this show is the snarky charm, as you embark on the journey of an orphaned boy with a mysterious past who enrolls in a magical wizarding school, makes friends out of misfits, battles rivaling houses in his school, gains mentorship and protection in the form of a long-bearded wizard, and fights evil wizards trying to take over the world, including vengeful authors with claims to Intellectual Property. 

Get ready to enroll in this series and get a masterclass in all of life’s lessons, including that friendship is magical, and that most of the world’s problems can be solved with one hand punching and the other holding a [cream puff](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2024-08-24/mashle-magic-and-muscles-finally-gets-a-collaboration-with-beard-papa-in-the-u.s/.214691).

## Sasaki and Peeps
### Sasaki to Pii-chan

![Sasaki and Peeps: Season 1, Episode 1 {810x458}{caption: Sasaki and Peeps: Season 1, Episode 1}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024-inline-2024-09-01T15%3A48%3A31.682Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=88cff411-039d-4c0b-87ed-854bb44bb30d)

Staying briefly on the topic of more light-hearted anime that puts fun spins on classic genres, [a little birdie told us](https://myanimelist.net/anime/52482/Sasaki_to_Pii-chan?q=sasaki%20and%20peeps&cat=anime) that this is an especially enjoyable anime for those who love the *Isekai*. Stay tuned to learn how a salaryman gets a new lease on life and goes on to live a life of fighting crime, saving the world, and gaining magical powers (just don’t tell Mashle).

## Uzumaki: Spiral into Horror
### Uzumaki
![Uzumaki manga by Junji Ito {1467x826}{caption: Uzumaki Manga by Junji Ito}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024%2Funderrated-gems-anime-you-may-have-missed-in-2024-inline-2024-09-01T15%3A50%3A02.236Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=e82cf62e-9ad3-464e-b193-c251e6ff810b)

Unlike the previous new favorites, Uzumaki has [yet to be released](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-07-26/uzumaki-anime-trailer-reveals-september-28-premiere-on-toonami/.213628) as of the time of this article’s writing and is far darker and edgier both in terms of storyline and art itself. Anyone who loves the horror genre, as well as the wild world of 1990s manga, is prepared for a real treat: the intricate geometric designs are - spoiler - the plots themselves, as these art forms are actually manifestations of evil, supernatural beings. 

Uzumaki is one that we can’t wait to share with you and get on your radar as a must-watch for 2024.

# History of Monarchs Vs. Rulers War in Solo Leveling Explained

We all recognize the significance of the [Monarchs and Rulers in Solo Leveling](https://animetrivia.app/articles/write-up/solo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained). But are you familiar with the history of the Monarchs vs. Rulers War and its origins? If not, there's no need to worry because this history is never fully explored in the series, not even in its original Manhwa counterpart. Instead, it serves as background events for various major characters. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive explanation of the complete history of the Monarchs vs. Rulers war in Solo Leveling, from its inception to its resolution.

## The Origins of Monarchs Vs Rulers War
![An image of a Monarch and Rulers, in a Ying/Yang position representing life and death {854x480}{priority}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling-inline-2024-02-10T15%3A32%3A36.995Z.png?alt=media&token=cfe47bab-3a90-4853-bb0b-341b1f3745a1)

The Absolute Being created the Rulers and Monarchs solely for his own entertainment, to witness their epic war. This is why He used entirely opposite elements to create them: “darkness” for the Monarchs and “light” for the Rulers. Due to being created by darkness, Monarchs were naturally born evil and possessed enormous demonic powers. Their main goal is to bring destruction to the world and eliminate everyone who tries to stop them. Similarly, Rulers are born from light and possess enormous angelic power. That’s why their main role is to stop the Monarchs' terror and protect the world. Due to their completely different mindsets and goals, they can't live peacefully together. As a result, Monarchs and Rulers were engaged in the deadliest war on the very first day of their creation.

## Monarchs vs Rulers War in Solo Leveling
![An image showing the Rulers and Monarchs preparing for battle {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling-inline-2024-02-10T15%3A32%3A35.097Z.png?alt=media&token=5b74af6d-f137-4378-81e2-a28a7a0329c1)

The Monarchs vs. Rulers War is not akin to a traditional conflict fought over a single generation. This devastating war spans thousands of years, during which each side flexes its enormous powers. At the outset, each faction possessed only eight extremely powerful warriors. It was a straightforward 8v8 battle without rules, where resorting to any means necessary was common, regardless of fairness. With each passing day of devastating combat, they refined and developed their fighting skills to the utmost, creating new and immensely powerful abilities. After fighting for thousands of years without respite, they all grew and became far more powerful and invincible than they were at birth. The Monarchs vs. Rulers War became what the Absolute Being had always dreamed of, making him proud of his creation of the Rulers and Monarchs.

Everything was going according to the Absolute Being’s plan: the Monarchs and Rulers had been fighting each other for thousands of years without rest. By doing so, they entertained the Absolute Being to the utmost and made him feel extremely proud of his creations. No matter how hard both sides tried to claim victory, neither side ever came close to winning. This was because their power levels were comparatively the same, and the only difference lay in the sources of their power. The Rulers' power and abilities are derived from lightness, while the Monarchs' power and abilities are derived from darkness.


## The Outcome of the Never-Ending War

![The Rulers looking down on Sung Jinwoo {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling-inline-2024-02-10T15%3A32%3A32.597Z.png?alt=media&token=eea6f887-3a4d-42d4-be9b-3e18ed624aa1)

After fighting for more than a thousand years, the Rulers finally realized they couldn’t defeat the Monarchs without the help of the Absolute Being. They approached the creator and asked for additional power buffs to permanently end the war. However, the Absolute Being did not respond, leading them to realize his true, yet hidden, motive. The Rulers then understood that the 'Monarchs vs. Rulers War' was a never-ending battle that would not conclude as long as the Absolute Being remained alive. All the Rulers ceased fighting against the Monarchs and came together to create a plan to slay the Absolute Being. However, Ashborn, the strongest Ruler among them, vehemently opposed this plan and tried his best to stop them. Unfortunately, he was no match for the combined might of the remaining seven Rulers and was easily defeated and contained.

The Rulers executed their plan and succeeded in killing the Absolute Being, acquiring fragments of his power. Ashborn became so angry with his fellow Rulers that he decided to join the Monarchs in their fight against them. He joined the Monarchs’ side and became the Shadow Monarch, the second strongest Monarch among them. With the addition of Ashborn, the Monarchs became more powerful, shifting the balance of power and bringing difficulty for the Rulers. All seven Rulers began utilizing the fragments of power seized from the Absolute Being and captured Legia, the Monarch of the Beginning, starting to overpower the Monarchs' side. Meanwhile, Ashborn found himself in a fight with another Monarch, Baran, the Monarch of White Flame, who attempted to kill him. With the loss of these two members, the Monarchs were unable to fight back against the Rulers and finally lost the war, forcing them to hide in the darkness of the world. The Rulers had succeeded in saving the world from the Monarchs and chose to replace the Absolute Being, becoming the new gods of the world.


## What Did the Rulers Do After Becoming the New Gods?

![The Rulers using the Cup of Reincarnation to turn back time {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling%2Fhistory-of-the-monarch-vs-ruler-war-in-solo-leveling-inline-2024-02-10T15%3A32%3A38.685Z.png?alt=media&token=8aacd55a-e23f-4e1d-8fd9-6c4da50142f3)

After winning the never-ending war against the Monarchs, the Rulers enjoyed a peaceful life, as the world no longer feared destruction. Ashborn regretted his decision to join the Monarchs' side and sought revenge against them. He decided to escape into the darkness, attempting to rebuild his Shadow Army. Centuries later, the Monarchs once again began moving and rebuilding their demon armies, infiltrating the human world.

Upon noticing the Monarchs’ plan, the Rulers came to the aid of humans but failed. Unable to enter the human world in their original form, the rulers needed to channel their power through vessels. Since they couldn't provide effective assistance to the human world, the Monarchs initially succeeded in their plan, leading to the extermination of the human race. Unable to tolerate this, the Rulers used the “Cup of Reincarnation,” a Power Fragment acquired from the Absolute Being. Through this divine tool, they turned back time by 10 years, providing another chance to save the human world.

Despite winning the war against the Monarchs, they couldn't prevent the extinction of the human race. They continued to reverse time after each loss, but the outcome remained the same: the human world's extinction. In their final attempt to prevent extinction, the Rulers began spawning Gates in the human world. The goal was to make humans aware of magical beasts and train their people to face them. [The Rulers also selected seven human vessels, known as the National Level Hunters](https://animetrivia.app/articles/write-up/solo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters), and granted them their power to defeat the Monarchs in the upcoming war.

# How Kamish Dungeon Birthed National Level Hunters in Solo Leveling?

There are plenty of powerful hunters in [Solo Leveling](https://myanimelist.net/manga/121496/Solo_Leveling). These top-ranked hunters are referred to as S-rank hunters and possess enormous strength and supernatural abilities. But have you heard about the national-level hunters in Solo Leveling? Yes, there is another special rank created by the Hunter Association, which is only given to those who survived the world’s deadliest dungeon raids. In today’s post, we will share with you the complete details of the Kamish dungeon raid and how it gave birth to national-level hunters in Solo Leveling. You will also learn about these special S-rank hunters and their formidable abilities.

## Kamish Dungeon: The Strongest Dungeon in Solo Leveling

![The Dragon Kamish as a Shadow Solder {854x480}{priority}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters-inline-2024-02-10T02%3A47%3A53.970Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=2f9bc05c-cda3-42c0-92a8-d8d9d579b2c3)

Several S-rank dungeons are featured in the series, spawned in different parts of the world. However, the Kamish Dungeon was the first-ever S-rank dungeon in Solo Leveling, appearing eight years before the series’ original storyline. What made it the strongest dungeon in Solo Leveling is its dungeon boss, Kamish. He is an extremely powerful red dragon with formidable strength and durability. As a dragon, he can unleash massive fire attacks from his mouth, causing enormous destruction. Additionally, he once served under Antares, the King of Dragons, in the Rulers vs. Monarchs war and provided significant support to the monarchs' side. As a servant of Antares, Kamish is also capable of using his master’s devastating attack, known as “Dragon’s Fear”. When employing this fierce attack, he can induce a state of panic in his enemies, albeit only if they are weaker than him.

### How Did the Kamish Dungeon Become the Graveyard of S-Rank Hunters? 

![The Dragon Kamish during the Kamish Dungeon {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters-inline-2024-02-10T02%3A49%3A14.516Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=b62c2c39-fa2c-4bc0-9e7c-2e7742118973)

Since its opening on the west coast of America, the American government had the primary duty of sending its American hunters inside the dungeon to clear it. However, the government immediately realized that it was an S-rank dungeon, quite impossible to handle on its own. Consequently, the American government offered a huge reward to any S-rank hunter who participated in this "world’s deadliest dungeon" raid alongside their American counterparts. Upon hearing about the substantial reward, numerous top-ranking hunters from different countries came to participate in the Kamish Dungeon raid.

A total of more than 100 S-rank hunters gathered and entered the dungeon. However, they were completely unaware of the significant power level difference between themselves and Kamish, the dungeon boss. As expected from the world’s greatest magical beast, Kamish did not take much time to annihilate everyone who entered the dungeon. With a single breath attack, he killed almost every S-rank hunter, along with 1 million civilians who were living near the dungeon. As we all know, it takes a lot of hard work and experience to become an S-rank hunter, so it is quite sad that the World Hunter Association lost over 100 S-rank hunters in this deadliest dungeon raid. Consequently, the Kamish Dungeon is considered the graveyard of S-rank hunters.

The Kamish Dungeon is not just the graveyard of S-rank hunters; it’s also the birthplace of humanity’s strongest hunters. Before the birth of national-level hunters in Solo Leveling, all top-ranked hunters shared the same rank, called S-rank. As mentioned, 100 S-rank hunters did not survive Kamish’s single-breath attack, while five S-rank hunters were still putting in their best efforts. They all demonstrated the peak of hunters’ power and their capability when it comes to saving the world. After a long-lasting confrontation, these five hunters finally killed Kamish and saved the world. After witnessing the Kamish dungeon raid, the World Hunter Association realized the true power level of those five S-rank hunters. Thus, they introduced “National Level,” a new rank in the hunter ranking system, and awarded it to those five S-rank hunters. That was the birth of the national-level hunters, who emerged as humanity’s greatest saviors.

## List of National-Level Hunters in Solo Leveling

A total of five S-rank hunters survived and saved the world from Kamish’s terror, leading to their recognition as national-level hunters. Each of these national-level hunters hails from a different country and lives like royalty. Since the Kamish dungeon incident, they have earned immense respect and love from people around the world. Unlike other S-rank hunters, they possess the unique ability to react to situations as they see fit, along with exclusive authority. Let’s move forward and meet all five national-level hunters in Solo Leveling.

### 1. Thomas Andre 

![Thomas Andre powering up for a strong punch {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters-inline-2024-02-10T02%3A52%3A32.306Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=34368328-d93b-45a9-926b-44a37d467998)

Among the five national-level hunters, Thomas Andre stands out as the strongest, having secured the top rank on the world's hunter ranking chart. His imposing physique, adorned with black tattoos, lends him a captivating presence. His formidable strikes and mastery of buff magic serve him well in battles against formidable foes like Rakan, the Monarch of Fangs. Moreover, his superhuman strength and speed were brilliantly displayed in his epic confrontation with Sung Jinwoo. Thomas isn't just the second strongest hunter in Solo Leveling; [he's also one of the ruler's vessels](/articles/write-up/solo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained), capable of harnessing their incredible power. Utilizing his telekinetic abilities, he can draw objects toward himself with a force akin to a black hole.


### 2. Liu Zhigang 

![Liu Zhigang surrounded by body guards {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters-inline-2024-02-10T02%3A53%3A13.706Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=09b4bead-a80d-4a7c-a401-bb54e155d126)

Liu Zhigang is another national-level hunter and the strongest hunter from China. Prior to Sung Jin Woo’s introduction, he was considered Asia’s strongest hunter and acquired the 2nd rank in the world’s hunter ranking chart. He is blessed with immense physical strength, speed, and durability, significantly surpassing other ranked hunters. While swinging swords, Liu Zhigang releases explosive energy blasts, causing severe damage to enemies. The blasts are so powerful that they can easily wipe out an entire army of ants coming from the Chinese coastline. He effortlessly beheads giants with a single swing, enemies that are already quite challenging for S-rank hunters to handle.

### 3. Christopher Reed

![Christopher Reed in side his home {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters%2Fsolo-leveling-the-birth-of-national-hunters-inline-2024-02-10T02%3A54%3A03.947Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=d173eec9-99ed-4470-974e-289a5ff1e1a9)

Christopher Reed is another formidable American hunter who attained a national-level rank from the authorities. He secured the 3rd position in the world’s hunter ranking chart but receives less screen time in the series compared to the two other national-level hunters already mentioned. However, this doesn't imply that he is any less potent; rather, he unfortunately encounters formidable opponents first. Christopher becomes embroiled in the deadliest battle against three monarchs who seek to eliminate him. He unleashes his full strength in the fight and undergoes a transformation into a one-eyed giant in a desperate attempt to defeat at least one of them. Regrettably, he fails to do so and tragically succumbs to their onslaught.


### 4. Siddhart Bachachan 

Siddhart Bachachan, who hails from India, holds the 4th rank on the world’s hunter ranking chart. Despite being a national-level hunter, he never makes an appearance in the manhwa counterpart. However, he has so much hype among fans that he might make an appearance in the anime adaptation. Throughout the entire series, fans only hear about his immense power level and abilities. One of his major abilities discussed in the series is his formidable telekinetic ability, which allows him to control any objects in the air.


### 5. Unnamed S-Rank Hunter 

He is the only national-level hunter whose name is not mentioned in the series. It was also not revealed which country he belonged to or represented in the raid. However, he is a healer and proved to be an extremely useful hunter in the Kamish dungeon raid. Being a healer, he is considered the greatest healer-type hunter and has achieved the highest hunter rank ever. Among all national-level hunters, he is the only one who is not a vessel of a ruler.

Solo Leveling: The Birth of National Hunters

As [Solo Leveling](https://myanimelist.net/anime/52299/Ore_dake_Level_Up_na_Ken) progresses towards achieving the status of the greatest anime of all time, fans are growing increasingly interested in it. They have many questions, particularly about Solo Leveling's Rulers and Monarchs. This curiosity is quite understandable, given that these two groups play a significant role in the series, and most of the strongest characters belong to either of these factions. Get ready to learn everything about the Rulers and Monarchs in Solo Leveling, from their history to their wide range of supernatural abilities.

## Who are Solo Leveling’s Rulers and Monarchs?

At the beginning of the world, the Absolute Being lived alone in the entire universe, along with light and darkness. Due to boredom, he decided to bring entertainment to his life by splitting light and darkness. Through the division of light, he created the Rulers, and by splitting darkness, he brought forth the Monarchs. The Monarchs were created with the sole purpose of destroying the world using their magical powers. On the other hand, the Rulers' goal is to protect the world from them, utilizing their angelic powers. Due to their extremely opposing missions, they engaged in an endless war with no conclusion, all created solely for the amusement of the Absolute Being.

### Who are the Rulers in Solo Leveling?
![Image of a Ruler from the Solo Leveling Manhwa {854x480}{priority}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained-inline-2024-02-07T04%3A37%3A52.435Z.png?alt=media&token=6e3a59bf-f9ab-4dc8-8249-bc54c15efe24)

Rulers, a group of eight angel-like species, were created by the Absolute Being from “Light”. Rulers do not have any organic form and always need a human vessel to enter the human world. As a result, all the Rulers choose suitable vessels; these individuals are known to us as the strongest Hunters in the human world. However, these human vessels are incapable of fully harnessing their respective Ruler’s powers. Since the opening of the gates, the human world has created Hunter Associations. Their goal is to provide special training to humans so they can push themselves to the limits of their power, becoming strong enough to face stronger magical beasts.

Being created from light, Rulers continually engage in the never-ending battle against Monarchs to save the world. Moreover, they support the human world by lending their spiritual powers to their human vessels, who use them against the Monarchs. Aside from granting powers to humans, they also use a special divine tool called the "Cup of Reincarnation," created by the Absolute Being. This divine tool allows them to turn back time by 10 years and gives them another chance to save the world from Monarchs.


#### Powers and Abilities of the Rulers

![4 Rulers and Sung Jinwoo looking up at a chalace in the sky {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained-inline-2024-02-07T04%3A40%3A01.374Z.png?alt=media&token=45c7b27c-945c-422f-a4fe-05b637c6d375)

Being spiritual creatures, Ruler’s are blessed with divine powers and a wide range of supernatural abilities. You can visualize their incredible power level from how they rebelled against their own creator, the Absolute Being, and even succeeded in killing him. The Rulers also demonstrate their immense power by withstanding the fearsome groups of beast monsters used in the never-ending war with Monarchs. 

Sadly, all of their deadliest battles and powerful abilities are never properly showcased in the series; they are merely discussed in the background. The Rulers do not get the opportunity to display their immense power and abilities to the viewers. However, the only power that is properly showcased in the series is “Ruler’s Authority”. It is an incredibly powerful telekinetic ability that is exclusively used by human vessels while facing formidable magical beasts. The more powerful the human vessel is, the more potent their telekinetic ability becomes.


#### List of all Rulers in Solo Leveling:

1. Ashborn: He is the strongest and most popular Ruler in Solo leveling
2. The Brightest Fragment of Brilliant Light

The 6 Unnamed Rulers human vessels: 
- Thomas Andre 
- Liu Zhigang

### Who are the Monarchs in Solo Leveling?

![Image of a Shadow Monarchs Solder from the Solo Leveling Manhwa {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained-inline-2024-02-07T04%3A42%3A26.131Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=9216f79f-653f-46b2-bea0-2570be74dac0)

Monarchs are a group of nine monster-like species created by the Absolute Being from “Darkness”. Because they were born from darkness, they were blessed with all demonic powers and aimed to destroy the world. Consequently, they serve as the main villains of the series and are often involved in the deadliest battles with Hunters. Similar to Rulers, Monarchs also lack their own physical forms and require human vessels to enter the human world. However, unlike Rulers, Monarchs exert complete control over their human vessels. Moreover, they command vast armies of magical beasts that are extremely powerful and cannot be easily handled even by top-ranked Hunters. 

Each Monarch holds a separate title of king and commands different types of armies, some examples are: 
- Dragons Army
- Dead Army
- Demons Army
- Snow Folk Army
- Beasts Army
- Giants Army
- Demonic Spectres Army
- Insect Army

Whether considering power level, screen time, captivating personality, or fan following, Monarchs consistently prevail against Rulers in all categories. Most Monarchs in Solo Leveling make their debut as the main boss of a dungeon, showcasing their incredible powers and abilities. The power level of each Monarch can be estimated by how they’ve remained undefeated against every powerful character, except Sung Jinwoo.


#### Powers and Abilities of the Monarchs

![Solo Leveling Monarch flexing his immence power {854x480}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Manhwa}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained-inline-2024-02-07T04%3A43%3A47.133Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=8c2cf1ad-10fa-4e06-9103-a0f35bcddb76)

Being spiritual creatures, Monarchs are quite formidable monsters against whom no one can stand, except the Rulers. Due to their continual involvement in a never-ending war with the Rulers, they have honed their fighting skills to the utmost, becoming invincible. Their formidable power level and magical abilities are openly showcased in the series, which is completely different from the Rulers' power, which we only hear about in the background. As the primary villains, each of the Monarchs receives enough screen time to display their individuality and immense power level. They all possess exceptional physical strength, speed, durability, regeneration, and combat skills that surpass those of S-rank Hunters, except for Sung Jinwoo. 

Each of them is blessed with different kinds of supernatural abilities, some examples present in the series are: 
- Lightning
- Necromancy
- Telepathy
- Ice Magic
- General Magical Power
- Shadow Skills
- Dragon Breath

If they still run out of power, they all have their vast, powerful armies for backup until they restore their energy and find a way to defeat their opponents.

#### List of all Monarchs in Solo Leveling:

- **Antares**: The Monarch of Destruction
- **Ashborn**: The Monarch of Shadows
- **Baran**: The Monarch of White Flames
- **Rakan**: The Monarch of Fangs
- **Frost Monarch**: The Monarch of Frost
- **Tarnak**: The Monarch of the Iron Body
- **Legia**: The Monarch of the Beginning
- **Queresha**: The Monarch of Plagues
- **Yogumunt**: The Monarch of Transfiguration

## How Did Sung Jinwoo Obtain Ruler Authority in Solo Leveling?

![Sung Jinwoo as an E rank Hunter {1200x675}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Anime, Season 1}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained-inline-2024-02-07T04%3A46%3A00.566Z.png?alt=media&token=7a938375-eb82-4280-9068-0b324b7ea30b)

Sung Jinwoo is an initially weak Hunter in Solo Leveling who joined the Hunter Association to provide financial support to his family. While raiding a D-rank dungeon, he becomes tragically trapped in a hidden double dungeon filled with powerful statue-like monsters. Unlike his fellow raiding Hunters, who were killed by the statues, he fortunately survives and is chosen as **the player** of the system. Along with being a player in the system, he is also selected as the human vessel for **Ashborn, the Shadow Monarch** who was searching for a perfect candidate. 

Subsequently, he undergoes proper training by the system and continually upgrades himself by clearing several powerful dungeons. As a result, he finally becomes strong enough to unleash the power of a Shadow Monarch and Ruler that he inherited from Ashborn. Because he is the human vessel of Ashborn, he can also fully utilize his “Ruler’s Authority”. This ability grants Rulers the power to move and control objects through telekinesis. Due to being the most powerful human vessel, his “Ruler’s Authority” power level far exceeds that of the other human vessels.


## Is Sung Jinwoo a Ruler or a Monarch in Solo Leveling?

![Sung Jinwoo channeling his new found power {1600x900}{caption: Source: Solo Leveling Anime, Season 1}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained%2Fsolo-leveling-rulers-and-monarchs-explained-inline-2024-02-07T04%3A47%3A29.186Z.png?alt=media&token=28c67ffe-2d0a-47cb-87c1-75e775e0b4a4)

Sung Jinwoo is the only character in Solo Leveling who fits into all possible categories, whether it be Hunter, Monarch, or Ruler. He is not an ordinary human vessel; instead, he is the successor of Ashborn, who is both a Monarch and a Ruler. As a result, **Sung Jinwoo is also a Ruler as well as a Monarch** , which enables him to wield the power of both sides, such as the “Ruler’s Authority” and the “Monarch’s Domain”. Sung Jinwoo’s power level surpasses that of his predecessor, Ashborn, making all of his abilities all the more invincible.

## The Best Anime Elf
![Screenshot from Records of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 13 {1920x1080}{priority}{caption: Screenshot from Records of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 13}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on-inline-2024-02-03T17%3A21%3A18.955Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=ec95cd16-ff9e-4600-8770-d288e8149c01)

Recently, fantasy anime has experienced a well-deserved resurgence in popularity. Just look at *Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End*. The [manga is a huge success, and the anime has become a fan favorite](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-12-04/frieren-manga-adds-7-million-copies-to-circulation-in-2-months-since-anime-premiere/.205063&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1706984415791703&usg=AOvVaw1HMBdS6szHxJmjfd7bzqIs). Frieren’s popularity has only continued to grow, especially as we entered the winter 2024 season. Additionally, this season introduced another contender in the fantasy genre: *Delicious in Dungeon*, which quickly gained popularity after its premiere. One obvious similarity between the two anime is that both feature an **elf** as one of their main characters.

Elves are a classic race often included in fantasy stories. Whether you love playing DnD or remember iconic characters like Legolas and Galadriel from *LOTR*, it's hard to overlook them. Interestingly, elves, such as Frieren and Marcille, have gained a new-found popularity in anime in recent times. We're also seeing unconventional representations of elves, like Elda from *Otaku Elf*, and there's the upcoming series [Plus-size Elf](https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2024/1/15/plus-sized-elf-anime-announcement-2024-teaser-visual-cast). Elves seem to be everywhere!

Across various media, most elves share common traits. They are typically depicted as mystical beings closely associated with either magic or archery and, of course, they are known for their distinctive pointy ears. These characteristics hold true for anime elves as well. If someone were to ask you, 'Who is your elf waifu?' before you answer, treat yourself and watch *Record of Lodoss War*, where you can meet **Deedlit**.

## Who Is Deedlit?
![Screenshot from Records of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 5 {1920x1080}{caption: Screenshot from Records of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 5}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on-inline-2024-02-03T17%3A26%3A04.345Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=6b114ad9-c681-441c-a01f-b48a19749843)

Who is this elf anyway? Well, fellow anime fans, Deedlit is a high elf in Record of Lodoss War. Alongside Parn, the knight, and the rest of their party, she embarks on a quest to defeat Karla the witch, and bring peace to the accursed land of Lodoss. Deedlit comes from the mystical realm known as the Forest of No Return. She is a character defined by her straightforward elvish traits and origin.

Funnily enough, she also exhibits a slight '*up on her high horse*' attitude, particularly towards dwarves. The [bickering between elves and dwarves](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ElvesVersusDwarves) is a comically common trope in fiction, reminiscent of *LOTR*. In the anime, Deedlit relies on swordsmanship and her affinity for spirits as her primary combat techniques. She tends to be the more cautious fighter of the group, frequently warning them of unforeseen dangers.

Most of what she does is reminiscent of the general idea of an elf. She comes from a mystical forest, possesses a knack for magic and the spiritual world, and exudes a rather snobbish demeanor. So, what makes her so special? After all, she serves as the designated cover girl for the entire *Record of Lodoss War* franchise.

## Deedlit In The Record Of Lodoss War: A Strong But Balanced Character

![Screenshot from Record of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 6 {1920x1080}{caption: Screenshot from Record of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 6.}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on-inline-2024-02-03T17%3A28%3A14.513Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=8e0cb5c8-eb22-4a25-819f-af4a9801ed50)

Interestingly, Deedlit is not the main character of the story. Instead, we follow the narrative from the perspective of the main protagonist, Parn. Deedlit serves as Parn's romantic interest in the story. Some might guess, “Ah, so she will end up kidnapped and calling Parn as her savior.” Well, yes and no.

In fact, she doesn’t fall into [the typical damsel-in-distress trope](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DamselInDistress) for most of the story. In the 1990 OVA, Deedlit’s introduction pretty much implies that she’s way more experienced, proficient, and composed compared to Parn. Her knowledge of spirits and magic allows her to spend most of the story looking after the others, especially the rowdy and reckless protagonist.

Writing a strong character is no easy task. On one hand, we aim for them to exude strength, allowing the audience to recognize them as a powerhouse. On the other hand, this immense power can be off-putting, especially when it surpasses reasonable limits without any explanation.

In the anime, we can see that Deedlit isn’t all-powerful. **(Spoiler Alert)** In the final episodes, Deedlit’s high elf origin becomes relevant to the main villain’s goal, and she is about to be sacrificed to resurrect the Goddess of Destruction. So, it ends up with Parn saving her in a classic 'the knight rescues the princess' style. She’s strong and a competent fighter, yet she’s not overpowered like many [Mary Sues](https://www.tckpublishing.com/what-is-a-mary-sue/). Deedlit is an example of a well-written character. Additionally, her personality is far from bland, which leads us to the next point.


## Deedlit Is A Delight Behind All Her Mysticism

![Screenshot from Records of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 1 {1920x1080}{caption: Screenshot from Records of Lodoss War (1990) Episode 1}](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/anime-trivia-c3211.appspot.com/o/Article-Inline-Images%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on%2Fdeedlit-the-best-anime-elf-you-re-missing-out-on-inline-2024-02-03T17%3A31%3A18.064Z.jpeg?alt=media&token=02e87c24-264c-4e39-ac66-ae85789ead79)

Although Deedlit is supposed to be a high elf, a race that’s surrounded by fairytale-like mysticism, she’s not devoid of emotions. Oftentimes, whenever there is a character who originates from such worlds, they appear as sacred, with untouchable, ethereal beauty. It’s not the case with Deedlit. While she’s depicted as a beautiful elf, she’s far from alienating.

Although Deedlit is meant to embody the essence of a high elf, a race steeped in fairytale-like mysticism, she is not devoid of emotions. Often, characters originating from such worlds are depicted as sacred, possessing untouchable, ethereal beauty. However, this is not the case with Deedlit. While she is depicted as a beautiful elf, she remains far from alienating.

Deedlit can be hilarious and cute at times; she's known to be a bit snarky towards Ghim, the dwarf. Her excitement over lovely things can be downright giddy, and her desire for Parn's attention at dance parties is simply adorable. Deedlit embodies every trait that one would expect from 'an anime's best girl'.

Putting her cuteness aside, when Parn asks her to stand back from a fight, she chooses to fight alongside him. She refuses to embody the typical princess archetype, passively waiting for the hero to return. Deedlit demonstrates her determination and camaraderie with her fellow adventurers, all while enchanting those around her. With her unique perspective and independence of thought, she proves to be a remarkable elf waifu.

All in all, it’s no surprise that some people consider her their first waifu. The younger generation of anime fans might never have heard of *Record of Lodoss*, considering it's an old anime. However, despite airing back in 1990, it still exudes incredible charm, especially for those who appreciate [hand-drawn 90s anime aesthetics, fantasy, and Dungeons and Dragons](https://screenrant.com/classic-anime-record-lodoss-war-perfect-dnd-fans/). So, if you’ve been enjoying the current era of elves in anime, why not go retro for a change and watch [Record of Lodoss War](https://myanimelist.net/anime/207/Lodoss-tou_Senki).
