10 strongest anime heroes who can defeat the Ant King from Solo Leveling

The Best Quote From the Solo Leveling Season 2 Finale Is Still Untouchable
10 Strongest Anime Heroes Who Can Defeat the Ant King From Solo Leveling

Not many anime heroes could hold their own against the Ant King of Solo Leveling.

Solo Leveling's Jeju Island Gate was home to a hidden S-Rank boss, the Ant King, who turned out to be one of the strongest monsters in anime history. The Ant King easily killed the strongest Hunter in Japan, along with several other S-Rank hunters. While Sung Jingwoo managed to defeat the Ant King, there are a few more anime heroes strong enough to beat him.

Many of the strongest anime heroes would be S-Rank Hunters in Solo Leveling thanks to their powerful abilities, including some skills that would help them in a one-on-one battle against the Ant King. Even though the Ant King is equipped with paralytic poison and high-speed regeneration, these heroes could make short work of him.

Frieren Possesses Magic That Would Fry the Ant King

Frieren is an elven mage and one of the strongest characters in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. During the Jeju Island Raid, the Ant King critically injured Choi Jong-In, an S-Rank mage, with a single attack, but this would not happen to Frieren. For starters, Frieren can use defensive magic to erect barriers that should block the Ant King's attacks for a time.

Since Frieren's mana pool is immense, she can perform spells that can vaporize and repel objects like the Ant King. Frieren used sealing magic to seal a powerful demon like Qual in a stone for 80 years, and she can do the same thing to the Ant King. While she might not be able to win a long fight against the Ant King, she has the spells needed to strike hard quickly.

Gojo Would Crush the Ant King With His Limitless Technique

Gojo is Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest character and is first person to inherit both the Six Eyes and Limitless techniques in 400 years. As a result, Gojo has near-absolute control over space. Solo Leveling's Ant King would have a physical advantage over Gojo, but he would never be able to touch Gojo because of the Infinity technique, which forces all incoming attacks to slow to a complete stop.

He could use Limitless to repel the Ant King with incredible force, or crush the Ant King with the destructive force of a black hole. The Hollow Technique: Purple produces an imaginary mass that should be enough to vaporize the Ant King. Gojo's Unlimited Void Domain Expansion would overload the Ant King's nervous system with endless information, turning him into an immobile, drooling monster.

Sailor Moon Would Squash The Ant King With Her Universe-Bending Ultimate Form

Solo Leveling's Ant King may have taken out more than 8 S-Rank Hunters on Jeju Island, but Sailor Moon has the power to take on cosmic-level threats, which puts her in an entirely different power level. That said, Sailor Moon can be overwhelmed if she feels any doubt or despair, and the Ant King can take advantage of this by killing her friends first.

The Silver Crystal is the source of Sailor Moon's immense power, but it's directly linked to her will and emotional state. Sailor Moon can alter reality and bend stars to her will when she is at full power. She can also destroy an entire planet and all of its inhabitants, so clearing Jeju Island of its ant infestation wouldn't be a problem.

Kenpachi Can Cut the Ant King In Half With His Zanpakutō

Kenpachi is the Captain of Squad 11 and is undeniably one of Bleach's strongest Soul Reaper Captains. He was technically a villain when he debuted and is only interested in fighting powerful opponents to the death, but he still qualifies as a hero since he fights to protect the Soul Society and Human World.

If Kenpachi releases his Shikai, his Zanpakutō will transform into a massive war cleaver that can cut through meteors and space itself. The Ant King can try blocking the cleaver, but it would slice straight through his carapace. If Kenpachi uses Bankai, the Ant King will be forced to fight a mindless, Oni-like berserker.

Star and Stripe Can Weaken & Crush the Ant King With Her Quirk

Star and Stripe was the No. 1 ranked Pro Hero of the United States and was considered the strongest woman in the world. Despite her titles, Solo Leveling's Ant King is physically stronger, but Star and Stripe holds a huge advantage because of her New Order Quirk. While this Quirk is active, Star and Stripe can manipulate the world around her by setting new rules on her surroundings and others.

New Order only works if Star and Stripe makes physical contact with the target and speaks its name. She can theoretically immobilize the Ant King by significantly increasing the surrounding gravity. If this happens, Star and Stripe can use New Order to weaken the Ant King's body until he is on the verge of death, then enhance her own strength to superhuman levels and deliver a fatal blow.

Teresa Would Cut the Ant King Into Pieces Once She Releases Her Yoki

Teresa may have died a few years before the start of Claymore's story, but she's still considered the strongest warrior that The Organization has ever produced. As a Claymore, Teresa was tasked with protecting humans by killing man-eating monsters. Teresa can fight multiple top-five Claymores and Awakened Beings without using more than 25% of her Yoki.

Solo Leveling's Ant King does not use Yoki, but Teresa should still be able to keep up with his movements. As an Awakened Being, Teresa's strength and speed would be on par with the Ant King's enhanced form. Awakened Teresa can stretch and shapeshift her limbs at high speed, enabling her to perform instant drill-like attacks that should pierce the Ant King's carapace.

Gohan Beast Would Vaporize the Ant King With a Charged Ki Blast

Like his father, Gohan protects the Earth from dangerous threats, and the argument can be made that he is now the strongest mortal in the Dragon Ball multiverse. Like most of the Z Fighters, Gohan is a master martial artist with superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. Gohan has various transformations, and each of them can destroy Solo Leveling's Ant King in the blink of an eye.

Base Gohan can destroy a planet with a single Kamehameha, and his Super Saiyan forms are even stronger. The power of Gohan's Beast Transformation is comparable to that of a Destroyer God's, meaning he can wipe out every planet in the solar system with a few Ki blasts. Gohan can vaporize the Ant King with any Ki blast, and a single punch or kick from him can destroy the Ant King's entire body.

Naruto: Shippuden's Itachi Can Destroy the Ant King

By the time he was 18, Itachi was already one of the strongest Uchiha in history. Solo Leveling's Ant King might have immense speed, but Itachi should be able to read his movements with the Sharingan. Itachi can also use Amaterasu with his Mangekyo Sharingan. This jutsu produces inextinguishable black flames at the focal point of his vision, making them almost impossible to dodge.

Amaterasu would burn the Ant King until there is nothing left. Itachi unlocked the Susanoo, a massive samurai-like avatar made of chakra, but his Susanoo is considered invincible.Itachi's Susanoo can pierce the Ant King with the Totsuka Blade, trapping him in a dream world for eternity. Even if the Ant King wanted to attack Itachi, the Susanoo's mystical Yata Mirror would block every strike.

One Punch Man's Saitama Can Obliterate the Ant King With a Single Attack

Saitama from One Punch Man is one of the strongest anime characters of all time. After intense training, he now possesses immeasurable superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. His durability is also incredibly high, as he has never been injured in actual combat.

As One Punch Man's title suggests, Saitama can defeat any opponent with a single punch. Some opponents have survived the initial strike, but Saitama himself revealed that this only happens because he intentionally holds back. The Ant King withstood a barrage of punches from Jinwoo, but a similar barrage from Saitama would literally blow the S-Rank monster's body apart instantaneously.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy's Anos Can Destroy the Ant King

Anos Voldigoad is creating a magic circle with his Source of Destruction

Anos, otherwise known as the Demon King of Tyranny, is the main protagonist of The Misfit of Demon King Academy. During the Mythical Age, he was infamous for his immense power and brutality during battle. Anos possesses a unique magical source which specializes in destruction, and he can use it to cast spells that would immobilize and crush Solo Leveling's Ant King.

He can destroy anything in his line of sight with his Magic Eyes of Destruction, and he can use his eyes to nullify all forms of magic. Anos' weapon of choice is a demon sword called, Venuzdonoa. This blade can destroy anything in existence, including indestructible objects and immortal beings. The Ant King can try to strike Venuzdonoa with his claws, but doing so would end with the Ant King being erased from existence.
