Sung Jinwoo killed Querehsha in Solo Leveling.
Cut in half, regrown, and then taken apart in pieces small enough that regrowing was not on offer.
What each of them is ranked on
The killer · Sung Jinwoo · rank 1
The second Shadow Monarch
Beat the hunter the register puts first in the world half to death with bare hands in a disused factory, took a Monarch's head off with a single stroke under Tokyo, and came back from a set of claws through the chest to finish the two still on their feet. None of those three left anything he could keep — one survived, one had no body to raise, one came apart into light. The wins that built him are further down the column and mostly smaller, which is the part of the arithmetic the highlights hide.

Regrew an entire body in seconds after being cut in half, and then discovered that the toxin she secretes did nothing whatsoever to the man holding the blade. Had walked into Christopher Reed's house with two other Monarchs beforehand and left what was left of him for the humans. Spent her last minutes trying to call a shadow ant back to its mother.

What this does not settle
One death in one work. It is the only place the record puts these two in the same room, and it is evidence about that meeting and nothing wider — not a general matchup, not a rematch, and not a ranking of its own.
The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from one citation.
Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
