Solo Leveling has become a staple of the action genre in modern anime. Produced by A-1 Pictures, the series has taken the internet by storm and continues to do so week in and week out. As Season 2 reaches its climax, the anime has delivered what is arguably the best animated fight of 2025, pitting Jin Woo against Baran.
Titled “Looking Up Was Tiring Me Out,” Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 8 has finished airing in Japan. The latest episode sees protagonist Sung Jin Woo, now recognized as Korea’s 10th S-rank Hunter, facing his toughest opponent yet.
Jin Woo Vs Baran Full Fight
The episode begins with Jin Woo encountering Esil, who immediately surrenders and leads him to her clan’s house. After a bit of intimidation, Esil’s father grants Jin Woo the key to the 100th floor of the Demon Castle, where he finally comes face-to-face with the Demon King, Baran.
Flying atop his mount, Kaisellin, the Monarch of White Flames confronts Jin Woo, setting the stage for an electrifying battle. From this moment on, the episode focuses on Jin Woo vs Baran, delivering a visual spectacle—top-tier direction, stunning animation, and impactful key frames.
In a hard-fought battle, with the aid of his shadow soldiers and Esil, Jin Woo overcomes Baran’s overwhelming power—including his fearsome white dragon. A standout moment is Jin Woo’s devastating uppercut, which finally ends the Demon King’s reign of terror.
Solo Leveling Season 2 Episode 8 is now streaming on Crunchyroll. The episode is already receiving widespread praise for its animation quality, with many calling Jinwoo vs Baran the best animated fight of 2025 so far. Additionally, the stage is now set for the highly anticipated Jeju Island Raid arc, which is expected to begin next week.
