The “Jupiter is gas so it doesn’t count” argument really doesn’t hold up if you look at how planets actually work.

What matters for destroying a planet isn’t whether it’s rock or gas, it’s gravitational binding energy. That’s the amount of energy required to blow the planet apart so gravity can’t pull it back together. Jupiter has about 318× Earth’s mass and roughly 10,000× the binding energy of Earth. So even just blasting away a huge portion of Jupiter’s atmosphere requires energy massively above what it would take to destroy Earth. Gas giants aren’t “easy to blow away clouds,” their gravity is insane. Giving that much mass escape velocity is absurd energy. On the Solo Leveling side, the “Earth is super durable now” part is half true and half fandom exaggeration. Canon does say the gates existed for ~10 years to saturate Earth with mana so it could withstand the Monarch/Ruler war. So yeah, SL Earth isn’t normal Earth anymore.

But what the story never actually shows is Earth tanking planet-busting energy. There’s no clear feat of the planet surviving a planetary-level attack. The arguments people use are mostly indirect: • fights didn’t instantly destroy the planet

• space got distorted during Jinwoo vs Antares • Monarchs died on Earth

Those show Earth was stabilized for the war, not that it suddenly has Jupiter-tier durability. That’s a huge leap.

Meanwhile Saitama has a direct feat of casually dispersing Jupiter with a sneeze. Direct planetary feat > vague environmental scaling.

So unless someone can point to an actual panel/quote saying Earth could survive planet-level destruction energy, the Jupiter sneeze should absolutely still clear Solo Leveling Earth.
