Goto Ryuji introduced to Solo Leveling through season 2 episode 9

Goto Ryuji is introduced to Solo Leveling with season 2's ninth episode. He is introduced among the S-rank hunters from Japan. However, Jinwoo already shares cold vibes with Goto, and his guard is up. Why, you would think. Well, it is the battle to declare the best.

Who is Goto Ryuji?

Goto Ryuji is Japan's greatest hunter. His speciality is glowing white eyes when angry or using his powers. An arrogant man who refuses to accept that someone can be more powerful than him, Goto knew about Jinwoo's powers at the first glance but refused defeat. Strength and speed being his strongest suit, Goto is called upon to help with the Jeju Island Raid.

Will Goto Ryuji die in battle with Sung Jinwoo?

No, Goto Ryuji will not die during his battle with Jinwoo. This is just training so there would be no killing involved, but the fight is sure to get intense, given the two already share a cold vibe.

How will Goto Ryuji die?

Goto Ryuji goes forward in the Jeju Island Raid without proper precautions. It is when he would overestimate himself, that he will die at the hands of the powerful ants. However, by that point, many S-rankers hunters will also end up dead. Only Jinwoo can defeat the monsters and somewhere, Goto is aware of this fact. PS: Whether Goto is revived in the series remains unknown.
