Favorite Fight Sequence Ever: Anime Edition
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. |
I'll go with the obvious Spike and Vicious from Cowboy Bebop, as that fight was fucking awesome.
And SOLDIER, I'm sure you're referring to the Kenshin/Saito fight from the TV series, but I would also say the one from the first OAV was great as well. It was pretty short, but it was still great. And the last one I can think of at the moment is the Grave/Bunji fight from Gungrave. It's great, given all the history between the two characters, like how Bunji used to look up to Brandon. All the fights between Grave and the Millenion leaders were great, but I found this one to be the best (and it's especially better if you've fought him in the game). There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Naruto Episode 133; the one where Sasuke and Naruto duke it out for the entire episode. The speed, fluidity, and hard ass hits landed are outstanding. Makes you wish the entire series had that kind of awesome animation and fight quality. Actually, that was the last good episode of Naruto.
Before that though the triple Hokage fight was also intense. I think that was episode 73 or so. Other than that there are a lot of choices. Spike vs. Vincent from Cowboy Bebop the movie. Both the one in the sky train and the one on the tower at the end were fantastic. Also vividly remember the fight scenes from Read or Die the OVA. Unique and fast paced with nice fluid movements and style. Speaking of style, we can't forget Samurai Champloo. Sara vs. Mugen/Jin and Mugen/Jin vs. the Hand of God. Hell, every fight in that series was asskicking. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Nothing beats the fight between EVAs 01 and 02 and Israfel. The music is awesome and the fight moves sync'd to the music are even more awesome.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
You guys already posted the Classic battles >.<!.
We can't forget that interesting battle from Naruto, Rock Lee vs Kimimaro. The Drunken Fist ability was the best thing that came out of the whole story. The fighting was fast , not that exaggerating like the DB Legacy. I barely remember this one battle but it was from the movie, Black Lion. All I can remember are the names of the samurai Shishimaru and the Cyborg Ginnai Doma. There was a lot of sword fights for a short 60 min OVA. and to think a normal human was able to take out a cyborg in a very early timeline is amazing. We also have. Spike Spiegel vs Tongpu (that fat bastard who was just badass for his way of fighting and equipment of deadly ass weapons). That episode could've kicked ass as a movie. Lets not forget our good friend DBZ ^^. There were alot of great battles in the Cell Saga. How ya doing, buddy? |
FELIPE NO |
Hey guys, spoilers please, and note the anime!
Wanna add one from Tenchi Muyo: Spoiler:
EVA: Spoiler:
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Lets see here:
Ninja Scroll the movie had some great fights. Nearly every fight Jubei was involved with was golden. One that comes to mind was with that fat huge guy that could chuck his sword like a boomarang. He died good. Gundam GP03 vs. Neue Zeil from Gundam 0083. Nothing like two mobile armors blowing the shit out of each other. Brings up a good point about CG and cell animation. This was an incredible battle and it worked excelletly without the use of CG. We need to go back to this style of animation. I hate it when my favorite mecha show is clogged up with horrible looking CG animation. Only good CG animation I have ever seen that was actually believable was Howl's Moving Castle. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
D vs the Barabroi in Bloodlust, as well as the bounty hunter family vs the village of zombies in the same movie. Just... sweet.
There's nowhere I can't reach. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Hajime No Ippo has a number of AMZAING fights. Anything with Sendo or Date kicks ass. My favorite was never animated though, I had to read it in the manga (Date vs Ricardo). It's one of the few animes I can watch again and again and not get tired of.
I'll agree with the other posters about Asuka in EoE. That was very possibly the most badass mecha fight ever. Another anime worth mentioning is Elfen Lied. Almost every fight/battle was pure awsome. Finally, if you're into gunfights (who isn't?), I can recomend Noir. Again, almost every fight was good. The first few episodes were REALLY slow though... I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Since my favorite was already mentioned I'll mention my 2nd favorite: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children I belive that now everyboy has already seen that movie but I'll put a spoiler tag just in case. Spoiler:
I was speaking idiomatically. |
For my fav, I'm going to have to say the fight between 'The Man In Black' and Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride.
It's entertaining, long, and funny . As far as just sheer awesomeness, definitely the fight at the end of FF7:AC, as Yuna mentioned. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? FGSFDS!!! |
Second, the last time I checked, The Princess Bride wasn't an anime; why you would name it in a thread about your favorite anime fight sequences is beyond me (unless you're stupid). Third, your short description (see problem 1) can lead to confusion. While you're probably talking about Inigo's fight with Westley early in the movie, the lack of any other detail than naming his opponent as "The Man In Black" (which I don't think anyone was actually called in the movie) could lead one to think you were talking about his fight with Count Rugen at the end. Details like when the fight was and just who was fighting it are important. Please remember to include them. And to actually name anime fights in an anime fight thread. As for my favorite anime fights, I have a few. A couple of them are running fights that cover more than episode. One is the fight from episodes 12 and 13 in R.O.D the TV wherein Spoiler:
Also, there's the huge fight sequence in epsiodes 1 and 2 of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's. Spoiler:
I also have to include another fight from R.O.D the TV, Anita's in the school library in episode 4. I was impressed by the atmosphere there. FELIPE NO |
---------------------------------------------------------- So yeah, revised, I'd have to say the Cloud vs Sephiroth at the end was pretty sweet. The Japanese version I like better simply because the voice acting seems to fit the characters better, & the translation I'm using is pretty sweet in terms of dialogue. How ya doing, buddy? FGSFDS!!!

Had you bothered to read, you'd have noted that your post was singled out for reasons beyond its simple spammishness. PiccoloNamek and Yamamanama's Evangelion fights may be short on description, for instance, but they have two qualities your Princess Bride fight lacked: there wasn't doubt as to which fight they were talking about, and they were from anime.
Also, why are you talking back? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Spoiler:
Also another great fight was in MD Geist. Its a very old anime that was shown back in IFC channel. I barely remember it but it was kinda a mecha-body type fight with Geist vs another dude ...heh, yes the description is bad but I need to see it and some of you should too. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Around the middle of Samurai X: Trust:
Spoiler:
Around the end of Samurai X: Betrayal: Spoiler:

Read Or Die OVA --- nearing the end 3) Spoiler:
The Law of Ueki --- Sano's Awakening 4) Spoiler:
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Thanks to those using the spoiler tags. Its tough to quickly scroll once I catch a few words from shows I'd rather not have ruined for me, as "epic battles" kinda are big spoilers.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
FFVII: AC
Since the big one's been mentioned--also my favorite--there's these: Spoiler:
Samurai Champloo: Spoiler:
Rurouni Kenshin: Spoiler:
Did I mention I love sword fights? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
FELIPE NO |
GunGrave in the last episode:
