Been wanting to do this one for a while. Post your favorite fight sequences from any anime. Mark spoilers wherever you feel is appropriate.

I'll say it first before anyone else: the fight between Kenshin and Saito in Rurouni Kenshin ranks high up there. The buildup before the actual battle, the moment of tension as the sun sets outside the dojo, and the first battle where Kenshin has to revert back to his old roots. It's the one Kenshin DVD I own, and the fight never gets old no matter how many times I watch it.

Carry on. I'm in the mood for some good fighting anime, so perhaps some of the posts will inspire me to check out a few series.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A few people have already mentioned the battle in One Piece against Luffy and Crocodile. I'm here to reiterate their claims. I caught the battle myself a couple of weeks ago, and promptly rewatched it several times.

I always enjoy the fights where the hero is the underdog, and manages to overcome an opponent that he should have no chance whatsoever of defeating. Such is the case here. This one clip doesn't do the fight real justice, since you have to watch the entire arc to appreciate the emotions and tension that this fight represents, in which hundreds of thousands of lives rest in the outcome of this fight, but newbies should find it to be an enjoyable clip nontheless.

Spoiler:

The bar has been significantly raised here. If Luffy has a better fight later on, I'll be quite impressed.

By the way, if anyone has an mp3 of the classical piece played, please share it, thanks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
