(#5) Kiritsugu Emiya
- Fate/Zero, Fate/Zero
Most final battles occur between rivals who faced off at least once or twice in the past. Kiritsugu Emiya and Kirei Kotomine never meet before their final battle, but they definitely consider each other formidable foes. While most of the fights in Fate/Zero involve supernatural abilities, this one is a magic-free conflict between two men in a concrete basement, where guns, swords, and fists are the weapons of choice.
The stark backdrop puts the spotlight on the dueling pair, and the dramatic camera angles and wide movements make it nearly impossible to look away.
(#15) Vash Vs. Knives - 'Trigun'
In this fated battle, the two brothers finally confront each other. It starts off as a classic gun fight and then turns into an explosive battle with Vash using his Cross Gun. This particular fight holds a lot of emotional weight for both the characters as they represent opposing ideas of peace and war. And while the ending is ambiguous as to what happens to Knives, it's a fitting conclusion as Vash stands over his brother claiming that he will survive.
(#13) Akame Vs. Esdeath - 'Akame ga Kill!'
As the only person left standing on the empire's side, Esdeath refuses to surrender. Esdeath proves that she is truly one of the best villains in this final battle. Her only desire is to "win" and create more war. Akame decides that she must put an end to Esdeath and they battle it out in one last fight. And while Esdeath is much more skilled and powerful, Akame stabs Esdeath just at the right moment. Esdeath dies while holding Tatsumi's corpse, full of regret.
(#14) Yusuke Vs. Yomi - 'Yu Yu Hakusho'
Yusuke's last fight is an unconventional one for a shonen anime, but that's what makes it so great. While Yomi comes out as the victor, viewers realize that it doesn't matter who the strongest fighter is. Yusuke is no longer motivated to fight for power or strength which makes Yomi infuriated. Instead, he discovers that the true power comes from protecting his friends. Yusuke has come a long way since the beginning of the series as he's finally found his place in the world. He doesn't win the fight but he manages to weaken Yomi enough so that he can't fight in the tournament. It's a poetic and fitting conclusion for an amazing series.
(#16) Akira Fudo Vs. Ryo Asuka - 'Devilman Crybaby'
Akira Fudo and Ryo Asuka lived as best friends for years, but their dramatically opposing goals make any future friendship, much less compromise, impossible. As the human manifestation of Satan, Ryo wants to destroy humanity, something Akira tries desperately to prevent. Their final battle gets emotionally intense, both characters devastated that their friendship must end in violence.
Accompanying the main battle, a clash between marauding devils and what's left of humankind also runs alongside Akira and Ryo's own brawl. When Akira finally dies, the genocidal Ryo becomes blindsided by the loss of his friend, a loss felt quite poignantly as angels descend to Earth to bring about its destruction.
(#3) Spike Spiegel
- Cowboy Bebop, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
In one of the most iconic final battles in anime history, Spike Spiegel and his long-time rival, Vicious, duke it out with a pistol and a sword. The two originally hail from the same crime syndicate, one which Spike abandoned and Vicious now rules with an iron fist.
The fight scene works because of, rather than in spite of, its feelings of a desolate conclusion. For most of Cowboy Bebop, Spike tries to outrun his past, but through this battle with Vicious, he must confront it. Fighting Vicious and acknowledging their time together in the Red Dragon Syndicate allow Spike to finally free himself of his sordid past.

About This Tool
The fight, the perpetual anime theme. Whether it is guns or swords or fists, it always makes one’s blood boil. Of all the anime I’ve seen, almost every cartoon has a fight scene, but some of the classic battles remain in mind. The great thing about these battles is that they can be vastly different in strength, and the hero is not necessarily as good as the villain. But the really moving thing, they will often go all out to fight, not for success but for struggle.
This randomly generated tool collates 17 items and introduces the most famous fight scenes in the history of anime. For example, Naruto Uzumaki, Edward Elric, pike Spiegel, Delete, Kiritsugu Emiya, and so on. Which are very colorful and exciting. Could you recall the classical scenes of these anime cartoons?
