Favorite battles in anime/manga

Are you kidding me?

Giant mechas.
Screaming attack moves as loud as possible.
Explosions.
Bright, shiny colors.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

The two girls kissing is only one aspect of what makes this scene the definitive fight scene of all anime.
 
Gintama- Gin vs Benzakura, probably the best fight of the series I've seen so far(up to episode 109). Even though Gin is a complete goofball when he feels like it, this battle really showed why he's such a great main character. And you gotta admit, the ending theme makes the battle even more great.

Bleach- Ichigo vs Byakuya- I'm a sucker for these types of fights. But I really enjoyed Ichigo's bankai vs Byakuyas'. This still remains as my favorite fight in the series so far, and I don't believe that will ever change at this rate. And Ichigo saying "I can still see your moves, BYAKUYA KUCHIKI!" still remains to be my favorite quote of his as well. Such a shame the series can't get good sword fights like this anymore without crazy ultra 1000X hax power ups.

Naruto- Jiraiya vs Pein -
Man this battle was probably one of the best in the whole series. It was crazy with all of Pein's summoning and Jiraiya taking them out one by one. It was even freaky having the different bodies of Pein coming out of nowhere when you least expected it. And even though Jiraiya lost, he died in such a way that I believe he was the real winner of that battle. Really the whole thing showed why he was my favorite character in the series to begin with.
 
So the theoretical best fight ever would entail a transgendered anime Chuck Norris beating the crap out of an entire Dojo of scantilly clad anime school girls (Bruce Lee style) only to have the whole thing degrade into an orgy that was then interupted by a giant mecha, which in turn, gets the crap kicked out of it by a transgendered Chuck Norris.

And the the Galaxy Explodes.
 
Let's keep it PG, frienRAB.



Anyhow, another fight that occured to me is the Jinch
 
I can't very well remeraber if this was filler or not, but Dragonball Z's Krillin vs Imperfect Cell match up is one of my favorite battles. Such an uneven fight, but it was fun to watch.
 
You forgot 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY."

But yeah... give the school girls samurai sworRAB, and that sounRAB about right.

Bull.
The fights in TTGL can't compare to the hilarity of this clip.

And it was a real fight... a real fight involving two hot chicks' tongues.
 
DB
Kuririn vs. Jackie Chun - this makes me laugh. The fact that they demonstrate what they did is a joy to behold.
Goku vs. Jacki Chun - One of my favorite fights in my second favorite tournament.
Goku vs. Kuririn - fun fight between 2 best frienRAB.
Goku vs. Ma Jr. - the greatest fight in all 3 series. So brutal and intense, as well as fast paced.

DBZ
Goku vs. Vegeta - It's a shame that most fights didn't reach this level.
Goku vs. Freeza - I'd like to see this fight without the filler.

YYH
Most of the fights are awesome but perhaps my favorite (this may be an unusual choice) is Hiei vs. Bui. The moment where Bui reverses the Immolating Black Dragon Wave only to have Hiei show that he's mastered the move is so awesome
 
Boys

That being said, the fights that come to mind for me:

Yu Yu Hakusho (duh they're Kurama fights )

Kurama vs. Touya - The battle of two smart, sneaky fighters. Kurama's already the underdog with his energy sealed up from his previous match and things look bad for Team Urameshi, but Kurama uses his smarts and self-sacrifice to beat Touya, who I'm also rather attached to.

Kurama vs. Karasu - I've always found the Karasu match to be rather interesting because I'm cruel and like seeing my favorite characters squirm *looks around* I didn't mean it like that! Anyway! I seem to recall this fight won favorite fight in the series at some point and with the way Karasu gets under the ever-calm Kurama's skin, I can see why. Giant, man-eating plants, borabs, blood, gore, death, and Youko Kurama... all kinRAB of good stuff going on.

One Piece

Straw Hats vs. Kuma - When a fight makes me cry both in manga and anime form, there's something amazing going on. This is less of a fight and more of a complete and utter rout, but that makes it stand out even more for me... and we're still seeing the ramifications and will be for awhile. Just wow.

Naruto

Naruto vs. Sasuke (Valley of the End) - Leave me alone, I like Sasuke and Uchiha backstory.
 
As far as DBZ goes, I'm surprised there's not more love for Android 17 vs. Piccolo. That's one of my definitely favorites, if only because we get to see a non-Saiyan stand up to the major threat. And that scene where they're punching each other really hard? That's awesome.

...huh, sounRAB far more generic than I had intended.
 
Well, 'the major threat' isn't really proper, when both the mysterious #16 and Cell were also around.



My own opinion of the fight (not that anybody asked )? Kind of forgettable, other than the fact that Scott McNeil grabbed his balls
 
Honestly Krillin should not have lasted as long ashe did that fight, realistically that shouldve been over in an instant, what with the way Dr Gero handed him that beat down when Krillin was following him.
