Overview of Beru in Solo Leveling
- Beru is the first Shadow to exhibit verbal communication with Sung Jinwoo, demonstrating unwavering loyalty and addressing him as King.
- This unique Shadow not only stands out for his speech but also holds the prestigious General rank, indicating his exceptional strength.
- There is potential for Sung Jinwoo’s other Shadows to level up over time, which might be linked to his own advancement or their individual experiences.
In the climactic finale of Solo Leveling season 2, Sung Jinwoo secures a formidable ally for his forthcoming conflicts: Beru, the Shadow of the Ant King. After a fierce confrontation, Jinwoo defeated the Ant King and employed his ability, Arise, to resurrect Beru as his Shadow.
Interestingly, this newfound Shadow diverges from his predecessors by not only being able to speak but also retaining distinct qualities that set him apart.
Beru: The First Communicative Shadow
Upon his resurrection, Beru wasted no time in addressing Sung Jinwoo, eagerly requesting a name. This revelation astonished Jinwoo, as previous Shadows had remained silent. Beru’s demeanor was notably subservient, showing immediate loyalty by calling him “King.” Seizing this opportunity, Jinwoo probed Beru’s allegiances.

When Jinwoo questioned Beru about harboring any resentment towards him for his death, Beru’s response was overwhelmingly positive; he expressed gratitude for being awakened. This display of loyalty left a profound impression on Jinwoo.
What Sets Beru Apart from Other Shadows
Among the numerous Shadows at Jinwoo’s disposal, Beru distinguishes himself through both his exceptional capability of speech and his General rank. This rank signifies his unparalleled strength within Jinwoo’s forces. Notably, during his previous existence, Beru triumphed over seven Japanese S-rank Hunters and one Korean S-rank Hunter. His kill count could have been far higher had Jinwoo not intervened in the nick of time to aid the surviving Hunters.
Beru’s original power and skills are likely intact, allowing him to effortlessly contend with other S-rank Hunters. In contrast, while Jinwoo’s other Shadows are strong, they may struggle against similarly ranked opponents. Thus, with Beru in his ranks, Jinwoo can relax a bit, knowing Beru is well-equipped to handle significant threats.
Beru’s Underrated Communication Skills
The advantage of having Beru extends beyond his combat abilities; his capacity to communicate offers strategic perks. In a previous scenario, Jinwoo had deployed his Shadows alongside the Jeju Raid party, yet he remained unaware of the situation unfolding on the island due to their inability to speak. If Beru were sent into a similar situation in the future, his ability to relay information could be lifesaving.
Potential for Leveling Up Among Jinwoo’s Shadows
Progression of Jinwoo’s Shadows
Beyond Beru, Sung Jinwoo commands a total of five primary Shadows:
- Igris
- Iron
- Tank
- Fang
- Kaisel
All of these Shadows have evidenced their prowess in battle, providing Jinwoo with reliable backup during critical moments. As Jinwoo advances in strength, it raises intriguing possibilities regarding the growth of his Shadows. Whether their growth is dependent on Jinwoo’s power or their experience remains uncertain.
If the latter is indeed the case, the rate of leveling up could differ among Shadows based on how frequently they are summoned. Igris is often called upon, suggesting he might gain advantages in strength due to more frequent use.
The anticipated third season of Solo Leveling promises to clarify these dynamics while introducing exciting new characters pivotal to the narrative. Fans are eagerly hoping for more appearances of National Level Hunters and insights into their abilities, as well as developments concerning the Shadow Monarchs, who seem poised to make their move. With all these elements in play, the upcoming season is bound to be thrilling.
