[hr][HEADING=2]From Perils to Powerups: The Anime Corridor of Fame: Best Fight Scene[/HEADING][hr]

[hr]
So, I always see people posting threads about 'Best anime ever?' and I thought instead I'd have a series of instalments that ask you what the best fight scene, character, villain, attack, etc is. So, this week, I ask you, The Escapist community, what do you think is one of, if not the greatest fight scene in anime and why?

It can be from movies to serials, any fight scene you wish. The only real rule I will try to keep is that if it has some kind of spoiler involved, stick it in a spoiler tag. And if you have a video of it, stick it in a spoiler with a description also.

I have loads, and really this is just for the sake of it, there are probably more I hold in higher regard that are true classics, but in recent anime series nothing tops the fight scene in Naruto Shippuuden (I consider some events to be spoilers within the fight, if you are watching Naruto but haven't seen shippuuden yet, don't look just in case) simply because of the sheer scale of the fight. It was fluid and unrelenting in my eyes, and me and my friends couldn't stop watching it at the time. Not to mention that I had been following the manga for a while, and in motion it was just so much better.




P.S. Before you ask 'why is it corridor of fame?' Don't, because, well I don't know, piss poor attempt at humour and non-conformism I guess. Probably change it later.

Also, (and this is for everyone) stick a video in a spoiler tag and embed it onto the page. To embed a youtube video, type {youtube= and if you look at the url at the top for your video, all the crap after = is what you want to stick on the piece above, so its basically {youtube=CLT3EVQzd2E} only replace { with [. This thread needs more videos.

Also most fights in Neon Genesis Evangelion and the fights in Akira are cool. DBZ has some cool ones. I forgot those in my last post, I'll try to think of some more.

Mugen's final fight in Samurai Champloo was pretty epic, especially since you really couldn't tell if he had planned it all out or not. For more sword fights, I recommend Sword of the Stranger. There is not a single fight scene in that movie that doesn't rock.

Don't get me started on Gundam, but I'll list a few of my favs. Norris in his custom Gouf against the 8th team in 8th MS Team, pure epic. Amuro vs Char in Char's Counterattack, ultimate newtype battle. Lockon/Allelujah vs Healing/Revive in 00 season 2 final episode, just an all around solid fight scene.

For a good old fashioned shonen fight, I'd have to go with the 3rd Ichigo/Grimmjow fight.

I doubt anything comes close in terms of atmosphere than this scene.

WARING! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN COWBOY BEBOP DONT WATCH - HEAVY SPOILERS. (If you don't care, don't worry)

See if you can whittle it down to one, and explain why it's great. Then stick a video in a spoiler tag, so everyone can see it!

If you want to be technical about it, anything that is animated is anime. But most people apply the anime tag to anything animated from Japan. So, yes, Dragonball Z is anime.

Like in the first post, The second Black Star vs Mifune from Soul Eater was a great one.
I suppose I should mention the iconic Luffy vs Crocodile and Luffy vs. Lucchi fights from One Piece.
The first Devil Bats vs Wild Gunmen from Eyeshield 21.
Not really a fight per se, but Kaiji vs Hyodo from Kaiji was an excellent "battle"
Afro vs The Empty Seven from Afro Samurai, but really, hardly a fight.
Takizawa vs missiles from Eden of the East, but that was only a fight in an abstract sense.

That's it. Thanks. I also like the fight in the begining of the movie where Spike and Jet fight those thugs. Also the scene in the show where Spike fights that guy using that drug red eye.

Does Dragonball Z count as anime?

If so, the battles between King Cold and Goku.
I maybe wrong, But King Cold is Frieza's dad and Trunks fights him and kills both him and Cyborg Frieza in his first appearance.
Edit: Yeah, sorry if I sound like an ass for this but Trunks killed both King Cold and Mecha Frieza. Wikipedia confirmed it. But Trunks v. King Cold and Mecha Frieza IS an awesome fight.

Most of Battle Angel Alita's fight seens - and some from 3x3 eyes
when the main character can't die you're in for some great pounding sessions

Vicious is the main villain in the series. The movie antagonist was Vincent.

Yeah true. But Goku did have fights with King Cold and they were still epic :)

The gunfight in the Bathroom from Kite has to be up there as one of the most intense fights I have ever scene in anime. It actually inspired a No Doubt Music Video:
