In the battle-shonen, the climax of the story is often represented by particularly anticipated battles or by intense and tear-jerking confrontations involving characters that fans have learned to grow fond of. What are the most emotionally devastating clashes in Japanese animation? Here are some spoiler examples!
Rengoku vs Akaza – Demon Slayer
The duel between Rengoku and Akaza is full of dramatic tension because arrives suddenly and after a long and exhausting battle against Enmu, a demon who manipulates people’s dreams, trapping them inside them.
There Rengoku’s deathamong other things, represents perhaps the most tragic ending of a Pillar in Demon Slayer.
Roy Mustang vs Envy – Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Given that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood can be considered the best anime ever, one of its pinnacle moments could not be missing from this list: the heartbreaking clash between the alchemist Roy and the homunculus Envy.
The fight contains moments of pure ferality and hatred on Roy’s part towards a creature that killed his friend Maes Hughes and which he wishes to eliminate at all costs. However, when victory arrives, the predominant feeling in the alchemist is the anguish of having given in to anger.
Luffy vs Usopp – One Piece
Nobody dies in the duel between Luffy and Usopp, but the “real confrontation” takes place on a different level than what one would expect: in fact, it is the ideals of the two characters that battledue to a Going Merry no longer able to support the Mugiwara in their adventures and which Usopp persists in not wanting to let go.
Despite being an unequal fight in terms of pure physical strength or the skills available to the contenders, it’s beautifully iconic and, furthermore, the farewell to Going Merry represents, albeit in a “metaphorical” way, one of the most significant deaths in One Piece.
Gon vs Neferpitou – Hunter x Hunter
Kite’s death destroys Gon’s soul and, when the boy realizes that Neferpitou cannot bring him back to life, he goes into blind fury with which he destroys the Antchimera in a few seconds.
This short battle filled with desperation with a somewhat predictable outcome is simply the highest point reached by the anime.
