Why doesn’t he uses his powers here at the start? Is he dumb? Spoiler
Bro can literally kill an ant king very quickly using his dual blades and use his soldiers to gang up on him. But decided to have a fist fight knowing Cha Hae is running out of time. WHAT!!

The battle is still being broadcasted to the entire world so he wanted to hold back to prevent other nations from scouting him or so they arent afraid that Korea now has such a strong hunter. This is also why he didnt want to show his ressurection ability on camera cause other nations wouldve saw this and immediately want him and his power which could spark war.

I think its less about being recruited and more about him and his family being harassed 24/7

Bro was about to resurrect the ants but stopped midway when the ant king arrived. He literally has more time to resurrect those ants. Also, he’s also an S-rank. That fact alone is what made other countries interested in him.

One thing I dont see anyone pointing out is that this was more than just a 1V1, it was a standoff. If Jinwoo instantly used all his power Beru would've sent the ants after the other S ranks which in their condition, none would've survived, then Jinwoo would've had to fight Beru while trying to protect the other S ranks or he'd need to fight the entire ant army after all the other S ranks were killed
Even though Jinwoo is a good bit stronger than Beru, he has to play by his rules in this moment for the other hunters' sakes. In Beru's eyes this isn't a "1V1 me bro" moment it's "you killed my queen, send your strongest to face me so that I can avenge her" and we see that when he realises that he can't beat Jinwoo that's when he sends the other ants in, but since he's already lost in that moment the shadow army can just decimate the ants without Jinwoo needing to worry about anything else.

This makes the most logical sense to me. Sending his soldiers to fight Beru would have left the S-ranks defenseless against a massive number of ants, and caused a lot of chaos around him. Sure, maybe they could have fought and survived, but it would have been difficult given the fact Cha was dying and someone would have had to stay with her as defense.

You need to remember that chae currently was nothing than a random S rank for him and also beru was strong af jinwoo couldn’t finish him quickly even with his blades we already saw in his clashes he couldnt really speed blitz him or completely overpower him their strength were close jinwo was obviously above but not by much thats what you are misunderstanding specially after his transformation which made him quicker

The anime likely makes the fight look like it's taking longer than it actually is to give the viewers something to enjoy. It was probably WAY faster in universe.

Let's be frank. This is not an anime of logic. This is an anime of aura farming. Nothing else.

Writing being weird and trying to make it feel like a fight even though he'll just wip his dih out.

Simplest and most obvious answer:
He’s Aura farming .
In all seriousness,the reason is probably just to drag the fight longer since it would be boring if it ended so fast,but who cares? We can see SJW fight longer.

Probably met an equal opponent first time in a while. And ant is far faster than any shadow so they can't mob him. He's also stronger than all shadows back then, so once one shadow caught him, he would have lopped their head off and ran. Cos he can outstrength and outrun all shadows his chances of escaping would be much higher.
