Why Sung Jinwoo didn't resurrect Japanese hunters at jeju island

In
Solo Leveling
,
Sung Jinwoo
's
shadow army
is one of the most feared forces on the planet. His ability to resurrect fallen enemies and turn them into loyal shadows gives him an overwhelming advantage. After the devastating
Jeju Island raid
, Jinwoo had the perfect opportunity to grow his army by resurrecting powerful Japanese S-Rank hunters. Yet, he chose not to. Why?
Sung Jinwoo's reluctance to resurrect humans
Jinwoo's decision not to raise human hunters as shadows comes from a strong moral code. While he has no qualms about using
shadow extraction
on monsters, he is emotionally resistant to bringing humans back as shadows.
During the Jeju Island raid, Jinwoo revived
Min Byung-Gyu
, Korea's top healer, but only to save Cha Hae-In's life. Once Min's healing was complete, Jinwoo immediately released him, allowing his shadow to rest in peace.
Jinwoo's rules aren't absolute, though. Earlier in the series, he resurrected Kim Chul, an A-Rank hunter who had betrayed him. Unlike Min Byung-Gyu, Kim Chul was permanently added to the shadow army, renamed "Iron." The key difference? Jinwoo saw Kim Chul as a traitor, not a trusted ally, which led him to change his approach.

The situation with the
Japanese hunters
was no different. After their betrayal during the Ant Queen battle and Goto Ryuji's attempted assassination of Jinwoo during their sparring match, Jinwoo had every reason to add them to his shadow army. Yet, he chose not to. Something else stopped him.
Beru's rampage destroyed the Japanese hunters' bodies
The true reason Jinwoo couldn't resurrect the Japanese hunters was Beru's brutal destruction of their bodies. In the final battle, Beru, the evolved Ant King and future general, unleashed his full power on the Japanese S-Rank hunters. Using his Gluttony skill, Beru absorbed their powers and essences, leaving behind mutilated or incomplete corpses.
In Solo Leveling, shadow extraction requires the body to be in good condition. If the body is damaged or its essence consumed, resurrection is impossible. Beru's violent attacks made it impossible for Jinwoo to extract shadows from the Japanese hunters, no matter how powerful they were.
Additionally, there's a time limit involved in shadow extraction. The longer a person has been dead, the less effective the process becomes. By the time Jinwoo considered resurrecting the Japanese hunters, it was too late.
The human cost in Solo Leveling
Whether it was his respect for life, Beru's destruction, or the limitations of his powers, Jinwoo left the Japanese hunters behind. Their skills, their strength, and their potential as shadows were lost forever. This moment proved that even with overwhelming power, some things are beyond Jinwoo's control.
In Solo Leveling, Jinwoo's true strength doesn't only lie in his abilities, but in his moral choices. His humanity is what ultimately defines him.

Video Of Indian Tourists Dancing In Thailand Goes Viral, Internet Reacts

A video of a group of Indian tourists dancing in Thailand is going viral on social media. The clip, shared on X, shows a group of Indian tourists dancing with great energy at Safari World, a zoo in Bangkok. The audience appears to be mostly Indian, though a few onlookers from other countries can be spotted in the background. They appear surprised and a bit upset. The video has an overlay text saying, "When you visit Thailand to see Thai people everywhere." Sharing the video on X, user @baldwhiner wrote, "Dear desi tourists abroad WE BEG YOU ... if you weren't a singer, dancer, stand-up comic or wildlife whisperer back home ... this is not the time to start let's not make the whole planet suffer 2nd-hand embarrassment on our behalf." Watch the video below: dear desi tourists abroad WE BEG YOU 🙏🏼… if you weren't a singer, dancer, stand-up comic or wildlife whisperer back home … this is not the time to start let's not make the whole planet suffer 2nd-hand embarrassment on our behalf — JΛYΣƧΉ  (@baldwhiner) June 20, 2025 The video has gone viral, accumulating more than 549,000 views. It has sparked mixed reactions online, with many criticising the tourists for their behaviour. "Our behavior will ensure that even the 2nd and fellow 3rd world countries will stop issuing visa on arrival," wrote one user. "Embarrassing, I wouldn't mind if they had rhythm and could show some good those pot belly dancing in the group must be banned," commented another. "This is because fellow Indians have been praising this mediocrity back home. It wouldn't happen if we start calling a pot a pot," expressed a third user. However, some users defended the tourists. One user said, "How about you chill out. There is nothing embarrassing about it more than what you make yourself believe." "The song is playing in the background. You never know if they were encouraged to do this. During our Vietnam Cruise, we were encouraged to dance and sing, and so were Japanese and philipino people as well. It was well organised. Background context: it was a party," commented another. "They gave them the stage and space to enjoy, so they are enjoying. Tourists go out to enjoy, to let their hair loose, away from judging known circle. Just be yourself and let others be themselves. If they are breaking rules, let them face the music. They are not kids of ur school," said one user.

Lazzat denies Japan a first Royal Ascot winner in thrilling climax

Lazzat gave France their first winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes denying Japan their maiden win at Royal Ascot as the gallant Satono Reve finished second on Saturday, the final day of the meeting. HT Image Lazzat's victory rounded off a superb week for owner the Emir of Qatar's Wathnan Racing, a final day double both ridden by James Doyle taking their tally to five. Lazzat was France's last hope of salvaging something from the week indeed their other two runners in the race fared badly, Sajir being withdrawn and the other Topgear losing two of his horse shoes. The winner was still in feisty form post winning as he shied away from someone coming to him with a blanket like a matador and dumped Doyle on the turf. Doyle described as "world class and a brilliant guy" by Wathan's racing manager Richard Brown dusted himself down as his 26th Royal Ascot winner disappeared into the distance. "I cannot take any credit at all," he said modestly. "Jerome was very confident, I could tell Satono Reve was coming alright but you won't get a more genuine horse than this." Satono Reve lost little in defeat under Joao Moreira known as 'the Magic Man' and did better than the previous 10 Japanese runners at the meeting, all of whom had finished outside the first three. "We came in with a lot of confidence but unfortunately bumped into a very good horse. "I thought I had him but he had another gear. "My horse ran really well." Rebel's Romance is trainer Charlie Appleby's favourite horse and the two-time Breeder's Cup Turf winner endeared himself further when he won the Hardwicke Stakes. Described as an "absolute dude" by jockey William Buick Appleby's last runner of the week delivered the trainer's first win at Royal Ascot since a 1-2 three years ago to the day. "It is a huge honour to have a horse like this," said Appleby, whose winner was the first seven-year-old to win the race in 102 years. "This was the horse we needed with the last roll of the dice, he is a battler. "He is more than our iron horse he has kept the yard afloat this week. "He is our stable's favourite and always will be." Appleby, who began the season with a bang winning both the English 1000 and 2000 Guineas, shrugged off the ending of the losing run. "Of course it is not a matter of life and death," said Appleby, who has taken his tally to 16 Royal Ascot winners. "If you look at the bigger picture and beyond racing you have got to take the losses and take positives out of it. "It is the equine Olympics." Appleby's mother Patricia was present and concurred with Buick that Rebel's Romance was a "dude of a horse". She also brought her son perhaps the required good omen. "It has been a very long wait," she said. "Last time I wore this yellow dress was when Charlie won the Melbourne Cup and I have not worn it since." Buick has had a far better week than Appleby, landing amongst other races the Ascot Gold Cup for the same owners, Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum's Godolphin Operation. "He is a dream horse. Any jockey fortunate to have in his career a horse like this is blessed," said the 36-year-old Norway-born jockey. "We're best friends." Doyle had begun the day with a bang as Humidity emulated his full brother Holloway Boy in 2022 landing the Listed Chesham Stakes for Wathnan Racing. Qatar's joy was Godolphin's despair as hotly fancied favourite Treanmor who cost 2million euros never threatened. A special day for the winners but also for Dean Sutherland, who has worked at Ascot since June 1981, firstly at the golf course then on the gardening team. More fortunate than many to be able to don a short sleeved shirt in the heat he was invited to line-up with other dignitaries and greet and chat with the avid gardening fan King Charles III and Queen Camilla on their arrival by carriage. pi/nr This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
