Favorite Fight Sequence Ever: Anime Edition

It wasn't a serious fight but,

School Rumble Season 1

Spoiler:

There were two fights involving one with Hanai vs Kenji and Kenji vs Karasuma. Looked very interesting since he was making his own manga. The powering up is what got me into it i guess ^^;

Most amazing jew boots

Most of some of my favorites have alredy been said, mostly the Cowboy Bebop ones. I know I'm forgetting some, but it's been a while since I've seen some of the better action anime all the way through so my memory's a little rusty on the subject.

Wolf's Rain:

Kiba vs. Darcia: Final Battle
Reminded me very much of the final Spike vs. Vicious fight, everything that happened 26 on episodes led up to that one moment...

R.O.D OVA:

Every fight scene
From what I remember I liked most if not all of the fights in it. The ones I really remember the most are the Genjyo Sanzo and Nancy vs. Nancy fights.

Hellsing (Manga/OVA(?)):

Most of the best fights happened leading up to the Millennium Vs. Hellsing grand battle. Some of my favorites were:

Wild Geese/Blood-Seras (A.K.A Piperas) vs. Zorin Alucard Vs. Rip
Both really good fights. I'm not that up to date with the manga so I really can't say anything for Millennium vs. Hellsing fight passed volume 7. But those were two of the best. Next to Alucard Vs. Dandy fight...which I really liked alot as well....

It was just so damn intense, I knew they were going to die but the way they did it was so great ;_;

I liked that one as well. Actually...I kind of like all the Superior fights as well as that one.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have a few memorable anime fights spinning in my head to say the least, but one stands out right now as my favorite. In One Piece, when

Spoiler:

Luffy fought Crocodile for the third and final time in the collapsing Arabasta catacombs. It almost made you want to scream out "YES! FINISH HIM!" at the end. The battle was of course inevitable, but it was being hyped for like, 50 episodes in the anime, and Crocodile just seemed so invincible....made it all the more enjoyable watching him get pwnd by Gomu Gomu no Storm.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

There are quite a few fight scenes that I have enjoyed, the most recently being the Cloud vs Sephiroth fight from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Spoiler:

When Sephiroth appeared and started to do battle with Cloud I could feel shivers up my spine. I was really impressed when Sephiroth cut the ShinRa tower so that both he and Cloud had to fight on the falling wreckage. The omnislash at the end was also a pretty to watch too.

The next great fight I could remember after that was the Eva-02 fight against the mass production evangelions in End of Evangelion.

Spoiler:

After Asuka woke up in the lake in her eva, she decided defended herself from navel forces, land forces and then chose to beat up the mass production evangelions. Each time she fought, each battle ending was different which I thought was cool as not to use the same ending move over and over again.

The fight scene which I thought was good but was cut short was the fight between Vash and Knives in Trigun.

Spoiler:

After finding out Vash's history in the episodes leading up to the fight between him and his brother, I thought that a long fight was follow. But since they are using guns, it was natual that the fight was over in just a couple of minutes. Watching both Angel Arm Guns being fired did make it a bit entertaining, but as usual, Vash using his brains was able to defeat his brother with the help of Wolfwood's Ark Gun.

One scene that I believe many people have commented on, is Kusanagi's battle with the spider tank in Ghost in the Shell.

Spoiler:

While this fight was not entirely grand breaking, to me, its still a very impressive fight scene everytime I watch it. Kusanagi taking on a spider tank that was invisible to begin with, there was no fear in her when combating even a tank.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this from Kenshin, but

Spoiler:

Soujirou vs. Kenshin. What an excellent fight. As usual, the obligatory flashback sequence was held, but that really made Soujirou all the more frightening.

Also from Last Exile:

Spoiler:

The last fight involving Alex before he died. He is such a bad ass. I was really sad when he did die.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

We can't also forget that interesting battle that we saw in Kenshin Seisouhen

Spoiler:

yes... we all know it bombed entirely but you can't say the animation,fighting and acting was terrible. Enishi did have a few words that stayed true to the manga. Although i wish they had shown all the crazy shit he has done to Kenshin to put him in a isolated spot like in the manga.(wrapping his reversed bladed sword in chains).

Enishi was able to get back at kenshin with a few punches and take downs.. that was awesome.

FELIPE NO

Yu Yu Hakusho:

Spoiler:

Episode 30,when Hiei unleashes the Dragon of the Darkness Flame (which only happens like three or four times in the entire series). Screw DBZ and its planet-destroying bullshit;the Dragon is the single most devastating and fearsome attack I've witnessed in anime. The entire sequence - the build-up to the fight,the dialogue between Zeru and Hiei,etc. - sends chills down my spine every time I see it. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

well i didN,t really watch a lot of anime that have fight scene but I did really enjoy the fight in:

wonderful days(sky blue)

Spoiler:

the fight between Shua and Cade, just before woddy got shot, it was pretty good

FFVII:AC

Spoiler:

for me the best is, the fight between Tifa and Loz, it's so awesome, better then the Cloud vs Sephitorth for me^^ and I also alike any fight with Yazoo and Loz, I just love how they work together, they make an awesome team. My favorite scene is in the forest and Loz do a backflip and Yazoo pass below him and take his gun and start to attack cloud with two gun, or when Loz throw his bike at cloud and Yazzo bend to pass below the bike still shooting at cloud XD

How ya doing, buddy?

After rewatching the movie and reading Inhert I've been thinking, there isn't one fight in this movie that is at minimum amazing.

Some are more impressive than others but every single one of them makes you awe.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nadesico 26:

I'm patial to Nadesico's final conflict between Akaski and Akito "YOU SHUT UP! THIS ISN'T ABOUT ANIME ANYMORE!" and such

And whilst they arn't realy fights as such (Espeacily in the case of Stars and S) I always loved the final confrentations between the heros and the enemys in the Sailor Moon series.
However, any given fight in which Sailor Galixia is invovled was awesome.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The end fight scene from Trigun (the very last episode) was pretty hardcore. The battle between roy Mustang and the Fuhrer was pretty hardcore too.
Actually, just about all the fight scenes in full metal alchemist were awesome.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

From Scryed (or whatever way you spell it)

Spoiler:

Episode 26 was nothing but fighting between Kazuma and Ryuho<sp?> there were some talking points, but it was a fight that was much needed after they got thier advanced badass altars. It's been quite some time since I've seen it but it still ranks in there pretty high

I was speaking idiomatically.

No Gundam!? I'll have to change that...

Zeta Gundam:

Spoiler:

There were a lot of good battles: Scirocco/Haman, Char/Haman, some of the Jerid/Kamille, even Emma/Reccoa (mostly for one of the coolest lines ever right before it begins:

Emma: Katz is dead!
Reccoa: He is!?
Emma: Don't tell me you didn't feel it? We all cried in our hearts when he died. But you know what Reccoa? I don't think anyone's going to cry for you...).

I'm going to go with the last battle with Kamille against Scirocco. The way Kamille drew on the power of all his dead friends, and then just impaling Scirocco with the Zeta for one of the bloodiest Gundam deaths.

Gundam 0080

Spoiler:

The fight between Chris and Bernie. Especially when you realize that the whole thing was pointless since the nukes had been stopped. Then at the end when they open Bernie's cockpit and the soldier says there's nothing left but hamburger.

0080 was actually one of the more "brutal" of the Gundam series when you think about it. Even the one battle where they attack the facility to destroy the Alex, and Bernies whole team gets wiped out. They show the cockpit section of Mikhail's suit, and there's bullet holes everywhere and it's covered in blood.

Char's Counterattack

Spoiler:

Last battle between Char and Amuro. Greatest rivalry in anime history, finally put to rest. I think it ended perfectly as well. A clear winner, yet at the same time no one won. Even as they died, both men just could not let their grudges go.

G Gundam

Spoiler:

The fight between Domon and Sai Saici. The part I liked best was the fact that Domon was willing to kill Sai. It wasn't a "I will if I have to" or a "I don't want to, but I will", it was a "I'll kill you." They had been friends for so long, yet Domon knew what had to be done and he was more than willing to do it.

As has been mentioned many times, that one scene from End of Evangelion is amazing. I despise Asuka, and even I love that scene.

Berserk

Spoiler:

Almost any fight between Griffiths and Gutts. Though I'll go with the last fight between them, when Gutts finally wins. You just see Griffiths completely fall apart when that happens. He realizes that he can't have everything he wants. Such a great show.

Any fight scene from Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal. So beautiful.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I would definetely have to say some of my most favourite anime figting sequences are:

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (Dubbed)

Spoiler:

Chun Li Vs. Vega: The will always remain one of my favourite anime fight scenes of all time because I thought it was so well done, and the fact that they had KMFDM's Ultra playing throughout the entirity of the fight made it so intense. I personally thought that when chun li lightning kicked him through her apartment wall closed the fight off really good. Besides Vega has good quotes when he is putting his claw to good use.

"My hobby is to slowly peel the skin off the rabbits I catch especially cute little bunnies like you, and my friend here is rather thirsty for blood! "

Macross Plus

Spoiler:

Isamu Alva Dyson(YF-19) VS. Guld Goa Bowman(YF-21): This remains my favourite mech battles of all time, I'll be honest I haven't see very many mech battles and I'm sure there are definetely some good ones especially in the gundam series, but this one is just beautiful. The battle I'm referring to is in volume 4 of the series, and its just the battle was so fluid and intense with an incredible musical score to go along with it.

To anyone, that has seen the movie version of this 4 part series, you get to see an extended fight scene between Guld Goa Bowman(YF-21) and the Ghost Fighter at an incredible high speed and its one of the fastest mech battles I've ever seen.

Akira

Spoiler:

Tetsuo VS. Kaneda(First Battle After The Destruction Of The Underground Storage Facility): Akira was actually one of the first anime I have ever seen. Even though nothing about the battle was really visually stimulating, just the raw emotion of the two characters was so well done, whether or not it was subtitled or dubbed got you really into the battle.

FELIPE NO

As Takahashi said, Episode 26 og s.CRY.ed

Spoiler:

I love Ryuho and Kazuma's fight because it was so intense. It started with them using their lvl 1 altars but it built up to the climax of their lvl 3 altars and then they completely destroyed their altars, so the resorted to just barefits so it became and all our brawl. It was badass.

Dragon Ball Z
[spoiler]Majin Vegeta versus Goku was so badass! Its been years since ive seen the fight but i remember it being awesome.[/b]

All of the fights in AC were also really awesome.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Transformers the Movie, everything from Hotrod fishing to Prime uppercutting Megatron at the start.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Bleach:

Spoiler:

The Fight with Zaraki Kenpachi and when Ichigo finally showed us BANKAI! to Captain Kuchiki. I'm not going to lie, I got fucking chills. And the whole fight was pretty badass

I could name more, but I would just be repeating. I'll edit my post when I remember. All I can remember is the mainstream newage stuff ATM. Woot 1st post.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The opening fight sequence to Karas was superb they really blended in the CGI nicely which was a big plus. Shame only 3 episodes have been released so far.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yay, someone mentioned G Gundam! The Domon/Sai Saici fight in the Gundam Fight Final Battle prelims was amazing.

G Gundam:

Spoiler:

Also, Domon's fight against Allenby. At least until she went berserk, the fight was awesome. Man, I would've loved to actually be there watching it, but alas, anime is not real.

Yu Yu Hakusho:

Spoiler:

My God, there are so many. However, in particular the Yusuke/Sensui fight was amazing, from start to finish to restart and finish. Yusuke was going balls to the wall against Sensui and then he unleashed the Sacred Energy. Yusuke sucked it up and died for the second time, only to be reborn as a demon and reunite with his newly powered-up friends. Yusuke, as a demon, had little control over his power and ultimately won because someone else interfered, but still -- an amazing fight.

Also, the Dark Tournament battle against Jin. It was fairly mediocre until he drew out the Spirit Wave. I admit, I got goosebumps when I saw him unleash it. Very cool. Honorable mentions include Hiei vs. Bui (although I didn't care one goddamn bit for those animators in that episode), Kurama vs. Karasu, and definitely Yusuke vs. Toguro minus all the blithering conversation.

Samurai Champloo:

Spoiler:

Yes, episode 15. The fake fight between Mugen and Yatsuha, the undercover hooker he was trying to sleep with. They went at it, and it was a kick in the nuts that finally got her the victory, at least in a relative sense. However, later in that episode Yatsuha and Mugen tagteam Ginsa and his mercenaries, utterly whooping all of their asses. Blood sprayed everywhere and an agry woman's face coming down on him was the last thing Ginsa would ever see.

Not gonna throw in my votes for Kenshin or Advent Children, as I agree with all of them. I will say, however, that the Tifa/Loz fight was amazing.

How ya doing, buddy?

Dragonball Z:

The first Goku vs Vegeta battle. Only lasted maybe 1 episode, but it was pretty intense and well worth the build-up.

All of the Cell Games. The climax of DBZ as a whole. Again, worth the build-up...If it weren't as good as it was, I'd call the previous 70 or so episodes a complete waste.

Yu Yu Hakusho:

In general, I can't think of a fight sequence I didn't enjoy from this one. But the Round 2 battle with Dr. Ichigaki's team, Kurama's fight with Karasu, Yusuke vs Chu and Yusuke's first battle with Hiei in the early goings immediately stand out. Pound for pound, still my favorite series.

Many Ranma 1/2 battles stood out: Ranma's first (and only, I think) fight with Ukyo, his clashes with Ryoga (the one with Ryoga and the Bucks Eye Tenketsu stands out), Cologne (where he needed to get the Phoenix Pill), and the 2 on 1 episode, where he had to fight both Mousse and Ryoga.

And I also enjoyed Fuuko vs Recca in the early goings of Flame of Recca.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

The opening of Futakoi Alternative, though it has nothing once so ever with the anime, it's still a great fighting sequence.

Most amazing jew boots

Slayers NEXT

Spoiler:

The fight against Phibrizzo. He forces Lina to use her Giga Slave or he'll keep killing his friends. They all try to kill him but they don't even get close to him to try. Lina goes nuts and eventually casts it, he interupts her, it goes wrong, she turns in the Lord of Nightmares, and Phibrizzo's perfect plan goes horribly wrong and he gets owned.

FELIPE NO

Wow a lot of my favourites have been said already but I'll post them anyway.

Kenshin: It's been said by many people before but episode 30 of Kenshin where he fights Saito is just awesome. It's one of those episodes where so much seems to happen in just 20 minutes and really moves the story alond. I think that episode 40 where he fights Cho was also pretty sweet. Watching the end of that fight always gets me fired up

Dragonballz: There are two fight scenes from this that comes to mind. The first is around episode 170 when Gohan fights cell and releases all his anger and the other is in the Bojack movie. Gohan fighting Bojack is so great and I really enjoy the music, I find myself whisteling the tune often.

Bleach: My favourites from here were when Ichigo would be fighting someone and he seems down and out and then Zangetsu appears to him or there's a flashback to his training with Urahara or he just releases everything he's got. Pretty much just seeing him unleash is very enjoyable. I especially enjoyed Ichigo versus Urahara (lesson three), Renji, Kenpachi and Byakuya around episode 51

I'm sure I could come up with more fights but they are probably my most memorable. With Bleach still going I'll hopefully get a few more to add to my list soon

That would be one of my favorites, as well. Fantastic animation, and you really start to get a sense of how badly Major wants to meet the puppet master.

Along that same line, episodes 13, 24, and 25 of GITS SAC have some of my favorite gun battle moments in anime or live action.

And seconding other mentions, the opening of Karas has to be my favorite anime battle sequence of all time. It used to be The Marcus Brothers taking on the town full of vampires, but frankly it's hard to compete with something as excellently choreographed as Karas.

Most amazing jew boots

LOL, its fun how this thread is full of spoilers... by the way, how do you wrap something as spoiler?

Well, I was thinking about Kenshin but everyone has mentioned it, so here are others:

From SAMURAI 7 (the anime series of course) the first fight between Kambei and Kyuzo is just awesome, full of action and speed. And of course the last fight, that begins just after Katsushiro deflects the bullet of the robot... man, those fight really turn you on.

From Basilisk (Kouga Ninpou Chou) on the first episode, between Shogen and Yashamaru is amazing, it really gets you into the story. The animation is of the greatest quality, I don't remember the exact number of frames it took to make the first episode, but once I read it was many times more than the average.

Both series are full of action and great fighting scenes, if you have the chance to see them, don't hesitate.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
