Goto Ryuji

Goto Ryuji is an SSR Wind character in Solo Leveling: Arise. Goto Ryuji's weapon type is Sword and role is Tank. Faction: Blade Guild.

On our Solo Leveling: Arise tier list Goto Ryuji is S tier, 6th of the 60 characters ranked, from where 5 current tier lists put Goto Ryuji.

Other Wind characters in Solo Leveling: Arise: Amamiya Mirei, Han Se-Mi, Hwang Dongsoo, Kim Sangshik, Lennart Niermann, Myro and 6 more.

Goto Ryuji restores his own MP whenever a basic skill connects, and his first basic skill builds an Exorcise stack that raises his crit rate and crit damage. Once Exorcise stacks high enough it flips into an Arrogance buff that boosts the whole Wind team's crit damage and basic skill damage, though it comes with a tradeoff of heavier MP consumption.

He pairs especially well with gear that rewards stacking crit, since that synergizes directly with his Exorcise mechanic.

Goto Ryuji is a playable Hunter in Solo Leveling: ARISE.

The guild master of the Blade Guild. As the best hunter in Japan, he possesses incredible skills, but he's not a National Level hunter.

Dossier #01: An S-Rank

A man with sharp features and somewhat long hair placed his hand on the mana meter.

When the machine had completed its measurements, the staff started to move frantically.

"Incapable of evaluation" meant the birth of an S-Rank hunter.

The neutral expression on his face remained, but the took a breath.

In that moment, his eyes were filled with resolve.

Goto Ryuji had gone form being an ordinary man to Japan's best S-Rank, ready to devote himself to his country.

Dossier #02: Home

Joining a major guild would allow him to make him a lot of money, but Goto knocked on the doors of the Japanese Hunters Association.

He choose to work on building peace in Japan rather than pursuing money.

This path led him to the danger zone of a Dungeon Break.

Each day was spent saving countless lives and hearing constant words of gratitude.

Chairman Mastumoto clicked his tongue and suggested that he enter more high-ranking dungeons to make the country more money.

Despite this, Goto didn't lose focus. The people assessed Goto Ryuji as one thing:

The pride of Japan.

To Goto, every word from citizens who trusted him was more precious than any Essence Stone.

Dossier #03: Conviction

An S-Rank gate appeared in America. The boss that emerged from it would later be called "Kamish." Chairman Matsumoto had summoned Goto and suggested that he participate in the Kamish Raid, but Goto had answered without a moment's hesitation:

"My job is to protect Japan."

Goto chose to stay in his homeland and protect his fellow citizens.

The difference between when Goto was present and when he was absent at a Dungeon Break was significant.

Goto was determined not to allow any sacrifices, however small, in his homeland.

Matsumoto urged him to go to America to boost Japan's status and honor.

But when Goto heard Matsumoto mention honor, he raised an eyebrow.

He couldn't weigh the lives of his fellow citizens against something so trival.

There was an awkward silence. When Goto's conviction remained unshaken, Matsumoto raised a white flag with a defeated expression.

Dossier #04: Coward

around that time, Goto was ought by someone who claimed that they were moved by his conviction: Sugimoto Reiji, another S-Rank hunter.

He suggested to Goto that he establish a guild.

He had expected a positive reply, but in return, all he got was Goto's cold stare.

Thinking that Sugimoot was no different from those blinded by money, Goto couldn't hide his disappointment.

Goto immediately refused, saying he didn't want to be in a guild that focused on profit.

Reiji shook his head. He replied that a guild was needed to fulfill his beliefs, not for monetary benefits.

"Mr. Goto, what we need isn't money. It's a leader."

Goto remembered the look on Chairman Matsumoto's face when the Chairman asked him to prioritize wealth and honor over the lives of his own people.

Matsumoto was unfit to be a leader. Goto was certain that if he were in charge, he would not only be able to focus on what was right, but avoid people's claims that he was a coward.

Reiji and Ryuji shook hands. That's how the Blade Guild began.

Dossier #05: Proof

Beneath Goto's flawless facacde, a selfish desire began to grow.

The hunger for more recognition.

The opporunity to fulfill that desire came soon after.

While attending a guild conference, he got caught up in a Dungeon Break.

Goto teamed up with the Chinese National hunter, Liu Zhigang, and led the battle to victory.

But the public was foolish. Despite putting in the same amount of effort, only National Level Hunter Liu Zhigang was commended for his efforts.

Turning down the chance to face Kamish all those years ago was still holding Goto back.

He wanted to prove himself, but couldn't.

Not until there was another chance at an S-Rank gate.

When it arrived, Ryuji's golden gate shined brightly once again.
