Solo Leveling Ragnarokhas been following the journey of Sung Suho from the very beginning. After Sung Jinwoo had to leave Earth to fight the forces of the Itarims, Suho has been acting as the guardian angel for the humans. Thanks to the revised System, Suho has trained hard to be strong enough to defend Earth in his father’s absence. Of course,Solo Levelingfans are desperate for Jinwoo to make a full-fledged appearance in the series, but that doesn’t mean the fandom hasn’t been enjoying Suho’s journey.
In fact, ever since Sung Suho entered the picture, fans startedwondering about his role in this entire story. His father is already the strongest being of his universe, so what exactly does Suho bring to the table as the main protagonist ofRagnarok? Well, it seems the “role” of Suho was clear from the very start. In fact, Jinwoo foresaw what his son could achieve in the future, and the Shadow Monarch gave his son a name that would be appropriate to his destiny.

Yes, The “Suho” Name Wasn’t Random And Has Always Held A Deeper Meaning
While theSolo Levelinganime has completed its second season andSolo Leveling Ragnarokmanhwa is on hiatus,the web novel from Daul is still ongoing. The web novel has reached a crucial point and has revealed Suho’s destiny in this fight against the Itarim.Sung Jinwoo is busy holding off the forces of Itarim in outer space, and nobody knows when this fight will reach humans in its true form. So, Sung Suho has been gathering forces on Earth while also training tobecome the successor of the Monarch of Destruction.
Sung Suho has faced several enemies over the years, and after going through rigorous training, the boy has finally achieved the title of a Monarch. But that’s not it, as apart from becoming a Monarch,Sung Suho also became Guardian of the World Tree after “conquering the sea of the afterlife.“Interestingly, Antares, the Monarch of Destruction, was by Suho’s side when the boy achieved these titles. After Sung Suho completes the Job Change quest and achieves these titles, the Dragon King Antares wonders if Sung Jinwoo actually foresaw all of this. That’s because the name “Suho” is a title in itself, and it very much aligns with the role that Suho has undertaken after becoming an adult.

As Antares states,the meaning of “Sung Suho” is “One who protects and guards the stars.“Suho got this name from his father, and after all these years, he gains the title “Guardian of the World Tree.” After becoming the true successor of Antares, Suho will lead the other Monarchs against the forces of Itarim. In his father’s absence, Suho will act as the sole protector of his vast universe. In a sense,he will protect the guard and protect the planet while his father takes on a direct fight with the Outer Gods.

The Monarch Of Destruction Wonders If Jinwoo Already Knew This Would Happen
Solo Leveling Ragnaroksees Antares playing a crucial role in Sung Suho’s journey. He puts Suho through a series of difficult challenges, and, as expected from the son of the Shadow Monarch, Suho overcomes every challenge thrown at him. Finally, whenSuho consumes the Primordial Darkness of Antares, the King of Dragons witnesses the boy’s new form with astonishment.
The former Monarch of Destruction confirms that he sees a fragment of Jinwoo in Suho. But more than anything, Antares gets perplexed thinking about Jinwoo’s ability to see into the future. While wondering if Jinwoo always knew about Suho’s destiny, Antares says to himself,“Just how far did you see?“Antares knows how strong Jinwoo has become and what he is capable of, but still, the true extent of theShadow Monarch’s powersis something that no one can truly comprehend.
Now that Sung Suho’s role inRagnarokis clear, it’s starting to make sense why Jinwoo gave him that name. While everyone was fighting and struggling to obtain a title, Sung Suho had one since his birth.Jinwoo knew that when the time came, his boy would protect and guard the planet in his absence. Even though Jinwoo is known for giving bad names, he didn’t rush into giving his son a random name. Instead, he named him “Suho,” which, given the true meaning behind it, is more of a title than a name.
