Skilled with a spear and with a past of being a bodyguard, Balsa is in every sense the protector, and you can draw some very telling parallels to Chae Ha-in. Her unwavering commitment to the protection of others at various costs has continuously shaped a life fulfilled with sacrifice and rigors.

Balsa's tragic yet redemptive backstory is reflective of Chae's dilemma as a hunter in Solo Leveling moving through a dangerous world, suggesting in her encounters a mutual yet adamant resolve to rise above the complaint and live by their standards.

Where Yukino displays sharp intellect, cool demeanor, and command during crises, Chae is depicted similarly in Solo Leveling. Yukino has strength not from the battlefield, for she is set in a high school, but by her never-failing values and conflict-mending cleverness.

Her process of growth and learning to trust other people accurately mirrors Chae's emotional depth and evolution as a leader, rendering a relatable, yet different, character comparison.


7) Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan)

Mikasa is in close competition with Chae due to her unrivaled combat prowess combined with the unwavering loyalty of her personality. Mikasa's fierce devotion to protecting those she cares about is parallel to Chae's own protective instincts toward her comrades in Solo Leveling.

A steady demeanor in battle along with emotional weakness makes her multifaceted, very similar to Chae Ha-in.


8) Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach)

Rukia meets the requirements of a suitable character foil to Chae Ha-in because of her calm, assertive nature. As a Soul Reaper, Rukia stands her ground and protects others, like Chae, a dutiful S-Rank Hunter working in Solo Leveling.

Her fight against her own doubting nature and the acceptance of her responsibility mirrors Chae's growth as a leader. Fans of Solo Leveling will love Rukia's tenderness, combined with strength and emotional depth.


9) Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)

Erza stands among the easier-to-notice characters, much like Chae, thanks to her natural grace and her mastery over any art of swordplay. Her magical ability, called Requip, enables her to change her weapons and armor mid-battle and grants her versatility and strength.

Much like Chae, who is loyal to her team and values morals in Solo Leveling, Erza also displays compassion that stems from an equally strong moral code.

Because of the fluidity of her fight style and the intensity of her inner strength, one has no choice but to draw a comparison between her and Chae.
