Pick your favorite fight in the series.

For me it has to be Hisoka vs Kastro. The most brutal, badass, well thought out, scariest, strategic, most intelligent fight in any anime series. Honorable mention goes to Chrollo vs Zeno and Silva.

inb4 Let the forum die.

Whatever.

More options this time!

The Requiem massacre of course. The most brutal, badass, well carried out, scariest, most goosebump-inducing moment of the entire series.

Netero vs Meruem would be next, then Kurapika vs Uvo, then Gon vs Hisoka.

Netero vs Meruem. Too many reasons to list but, godlike OST,Motivations, Choreography, Animation and Ending are some of the reason this is the best fight ever.

Kurapika vs Uvogin. Great setup and writing before they fought, and the battle scenes were simply amazing. Gon vs. Neferpitou was likeable to me too.

And it seems I am the only one who doesn't like Netero vs Meruem THAT much :/

There wasn't that many great fights in hxh to be honest. I'll go with Chrollo vs Zeno and Silva.

Lmao! OP even included the Dodgeball game in it as well, that just proves that great fights was scarce in hxh.

Saying something that's pretty apparent about an anime (ie. HxH doesn't have as many as fights as other anime) is not praise, which you're claiming it to be. Only poster I know that would count that as praise is Judals and he most definitely does not represent this fanbase.

Hisoka vs Kastro

There are some true skills and strategy involved. Hisoka utilizes his abilities i the most creative ways and at the same time plays psychological mind games with his opponent to disrupt his rhythm so Kastro can't analyze the situation and loses at the end.

"It's all about learning the feel....To win a game it's crucial to disrupt your opponents rhythm....Fear and desire hold the power to disrupt one's rhythm.Desire clouds one's vision, while fear stills one's step." Meruem :P

These 3 fights were really intense and well-directed.

Killua vs Jones wasn't really a fight lol, it was annihilation.

Also, wheres Gotoh vs Hisoka.

This is pretty hard. I'm torn up between Gon vs Hisoka (tower of heaven), Kurapika vs Uvogin, and Meruem vs Netero. In terms of animation and actual fighting I would say Meruem vs Netero. But I think Kurapika vs Uvogin was overall the best fight in the series, there was a lot of tension between the two. They actually had a strong reason to want to kill each other, and it was the first time we saw an all out match between very strong Nen users. Not to mention, the outcome was a bit surprising. I didn't think Kurapika would overpower Uvogin like he did.

Don't know why Pitou vs Gon is up there; that wasn't a fight it was a one sided massacre lol.

As one-sided as it may have been, it was still a fight.

I felt that was way more of a fight that Gon vs Pitou, both sides ended up exchanging blows by the end of it. Even though it was obvious that Razor was OP as fuck.

Netero vs Meruem

My all time favourite fight. Excels in nearly everything I can think of. Glad to see that half of the fanbase agrees (according to the poll).

I've generally enjoyed all the HxH fights as few as they were. Gon vs Hisoka, Gon vs Pitou, Kurapika vs Hisoka and Chrollo vs Zeno and Silva would make the rest of my Top 5. I don't consider the dodgeball game a fight otherwise it would've been up there for sure.

Morel's strategic fights need a mention too of course.

Gon vs Hisoka for me. I loved how it felt so clean, no OST, no commentating, just fist to fist action.

I know I'm late but really? Does it prove anything, it's a poll for all the fights and some people consider this a fight/battle. I don't see how it proves that "great fights" were scarce looking at it from any angle.

Unless you're talking about the quantity of all the fights in the anime? I really don't understand...

He just meant that usually in a poll like this, you would put all the known great fights in the show, having included the dodge ball, since it's not a standard fight, shows there are not a lot of great fights, so he needed to add one that isn't a normal fight. I think that was the logic behind that statement.

I see. Well it could probably be debated whether or not the Dodgeball Game is actually a fight or not, I'm not really too sure if I would consider it one personally- more so a battle.

With Hunter x Hunter being as short as it is I don't really see the problem for it being listed there though, it's not like it's an official poll or anything, just a little bit of insight into the communities thoughts, and I don't personally see it as proof of a lack of good fights. A lot of people like to say how the show doesn't focus on fighting, but I disagree. Listed up top are a lot of fights that extend for a decent duration of time, whether or not they're good or not is mainly up to the viewer I suppose. You'll probably have the same amount of fights in Naruto - I can't actually be bothered counting - in that amount of episodes and I think even less in One Piece from what I've seen so far.

It's not that he had a problem with it being there, he just used to post the remark about the fights in the series. And now that I actually look at the poll options, he should have mentioned Kurapika vs Hisoka instead, but I would guess he didn't notice that as well.

I don't agree that it's proof as well. I think in HxH aside from CA arc, has pretty good fights, some or a lot of them are anti climactic, but it seems like a general style of writing that the author likes to use for whatever reason.

I think you have a good point, in terms of the amount of fights, but I guess people say it doesn't focus on fights because it's fight are relatively shorter than other similar shows, which may or may not have something to do with the difference in pacing between said shows. And actually if I compare the first 138 episodes of Naruto with HxH, I think HxH probably has more fights, because those 138 episodes covered more content of HxH than Naruto ( 339 chapters adapted for HxH vs , 238 adapted for Naruto or the 127 canon episodes of Naruto vs that amount of HxH) which due to the pacing and padding difference.

I thought Netero X Meruem would be a great fight, but at this point I should know that my taste for fights is very different to most people..
Netero X Meruem has great background, is the most importante battle in the whole series, the action is great, pretty epic, great animation... but when it comes to combat, is nothing special... just pure generic DBZ fighting..

My favorite is probably Gon X Hisoka, but I love most of HxH fights, it's one of the 4 shonens that I put on a step above all others in combat quality of fights (the others being JoJo, Naruto and YYH)
