Solo Leveling: How Jin-Woo Name His Shadows
Solo Leveling: How Jin-Woo Name His Shadows, Simply Explained
So in Solo Leveling, Jin-Woo isn’t just your typical OP necromancer—he’s also gotta name his shadow army. Sounds easy, right? But nah, turns out it’s kinda a whole thing. Naming the strongest shadows in his squad isn’t just about picking a cool name—it actually takes some thought. Sometimes, Jin-Woo’s gotta dig deep and get creative to come up with names that actually fit his shadow soldiers.
Now, we all know Jin-Woo usually comes off as this cold, no-nonsense kind of guy, especially when he’s wrecking enemies left and right. But when it comes to his shadows? Dude can be unexpectedly funny and even kinda quirky. Especially when a shadow pops up and is like, “Yo boss, what’s my name?” And while he could just throw out random names all the time, Jin-Woo actually thinks about it. Sometimes. Other times… well, he totally wings it.

Jin-Woo Names the Strongest Shadows in His Army
Their Names Actually Mean Something
So here’s the deal—the system in Solo Leveling sometimes makes Jin-Woo name certain shadows. And it’s not just for fun. These are usually the ones he’s taken down in some crazy boss fight. The names help set them apart from the rest of the army, and the shadows themselves actually care. Like, they take it seriously—it’s a big deal for them. Getting a name from Jin-Woo is like being officially recognized by the big boss. It’s like saying, “Yeah, you’re one of the real ones now.”
“I will show you the true power of a necromancer.” — Sung Jin-Woo
Funny enough, not every shadow gets a name. This ain’t like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, where Rimuru names literally everyone. Jin-Woo only names the heavy-hitters—the shadows who already proved they were beasts before they even got turned. So yeah, it’s kind of like a reward. Only the elite get a name, and that’s what makes it feel special.

How Jin-Woo Picks Names
Jin-Woo’s Naming Skills Are… a Little Sus
So uh, quick confession—Jin-Woo kinda sucks at remembering names. For real. It’s one of his weaknesses. And it totally shows when he’s standing there trying to name someone. Remember Lady Esil from the Demon Castle arc? Yeah, she saw it firsthand.
“The shadow soldiers repeated cycle of death and revival to wipe out their enemies.” — Sung Jin-Woo
Even though he struggles, he does try to come up with names that match the vibe of the shadow. Unless he’s tired, lazy, or just not in the mood—then it’s whatever (poor Jima). Usually, he thinks about the shadow’s OG name, what they look like, and what kind of powers they had. Long names? Nah. Not Jin-Woo’s style. He keeps it short and snappy.
Some of Jin-Woo’s Most Iconic Shadows
Where Their Names Come From
If you’ve been keeping up with the story, you probably recognize names like Igris or Beru. But here’s the cool part—most of those names actually mean something or have a backstory. Check it out:
- Igris: The original name, Blood-Red Commander Igris, was way too dramatic for Jin-Woo’s taste. So he trimmed it down to “Igris.” Simple and clean.
- Tank: He’s a massive ice bear with a build like a tank. So… yeah. Makes sense.
- Iron: This one’s clever—he’s based on Kim Chul, and “Chul” sounds like “iron” in Korean.
- Beru: Instead of calling the Ant King something basic like “Ant” or “Gaemi,” Jin-Woo remembered Bernard Werber, the author of The Ants, and went with “Beru.”
- Tusk: Couldn’t remember his original name (who could, honestly), so Jin-Woo named him after those huge tusks.
- Kaisel: Same deal. Dude forgot if the wyvern’s name was “Kaisellian” or “Karkallin,” so he just landed on “Kaisel.”
- Jima: Yeah… Jin-Woo was so not in the mood. Random name. No meaning.
- Greed: This one’s savage. He named Hwang Dong-Soo’s shadow “Greed” because the guy literally died from being too greedy. Brutal.
At the end of the day, all of Jin-Woo’s shadow names are super easy to remember, even if they’re short and simple. They still hit hard and feel meaningful to the fans—and to the shadows too. Honestly, it’s probably a good thing the system doesn’t make him name every single shadow. Dude would probably spend hours just trying to come up with names he wouldn’t forget five minutes later.
