We have all seen at least one anime that has a moment when something hype happens and the opening starts playing in the background and it is always super cool. So which of these types of moments is your favorite?

I have two the first one is the fight between Kaneki and Jason at the end of the first season of Tokyo Ghoul. That was one of my favorite fight in all of anime and the opening playing made it so much better.

The second is the moment when Soma and Erina won the Team Shokugeki at the end of Food Wars Season 4.

One Piece Episode 516. It was the final episode of Part 1 of the series and is a good conclusion prior to the timeskip. (not as good as the manga, but still very good) This entire moment gave me chills. The song used is Opening 1 - We Are!




Also, this. Black Clover Episode 49. I watch Black Clover dubbed though. The song used is Opening 1 - Haruka Mirai e

Gotta be JoJo part 2 with the final fight. One of the greatest ass-pulls in anime history. It's stupidity, hilarity, and extravagance is legendary.

it's over | we're so back | don't take this too seriously

Not sure if it was the opening or not. But in Demon Slayer, when Tanjiro fought with the Lower Five kizuki and used fire kagura dance that moment gave me goosebumps.

People seriously think there are better scenes than the climax in the last episode of Gurren Lagann ?
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare.
But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !"

The one that sticks out is Issei's duel with Riser Phenex at the end of HSDxD's first season. Quite satisfying after seeing Issei getting his ass beat earlier. Helps that "Trip -Innocent of D-" is still an absolute banger (4:55)


Also, this is technically the ED, but the transition to "Magia" at the end of episode 11 of Madoka Magica will always be 👌

Guren Lagan was great, but that scene at the end of Tokyo Ghoul (Kaneki vs Jason) s1 hits different.

It definitely hits different. That one scene is better than all of Tokyo Ghoul Root A. No cap.

The opening song is the cherry on top for the whole fight and makes it so much better

Nothing is topping the final episode of Macross Frontier for me in that regard.

Also, considering that it serves as the climax of each season, every final episode of Symphogear.

So I just caught up to this moment in Black Clover and it was amazing and the 1st opening play only made it more cool.

Not an opening. Hunter x Hunter (2011). Heavens Arena/Phantom Troupe Arc(s). Every time they played the guitar solo of the ED as the episode winds up gave me chills.

Well I mean that scene is legendary. I think that everyone who watched that episode as collective said "GIGA DRILL BREAK!" or "JUST WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!?!?!?" at that moment.

There's many epic and grand-scale sequences I could think of, and yet here I am stuck with the scene in Yuru Camp episode 9, when the OP song starts playing while Rin is happily driving to her next camp and ends abruptly when she hits a roadblock.

Out of the three times Black Clover has done this trope. The time they did it in episode 100 was probably my favorite.

Diamond no Ace Act II, halfway through the 4th cour of that season. It was the pinnacle of everything you (probably) wanted to see, the fruits of all the buildup, all in one moment... Go EXCEED (the very first OP from the first season) plays over quick flashbacks that lead up till that moment. That was SO HYPE!! I kept internally screaming and pumping my fists so hard!

... And that's the first example I could think of. I could probably find more if I thought harder. Like the oh-so-many examples from Gintama.

Honestly yes, these moments are really amazing every time they happen. One of my faves deffinatly has to be Kenichi vs Odin from Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple. This fight is so amazing when you see him using all the different techniques throughout the series and switching between the masters styles as they cheer him on from the side-lines.

For me it's Jojo Part 3 2nd season, when the gang arrived at Dio's residence or something. Then they played Jojo OP part 3 1st season while doing a flashback of their journey and the way they struggling just made me goosebumps. I don't knoe if it's weird or not.

I loved this scene so much. Mainly because I think I missed the rest of the Straw Hats at time as much as Luffy did XD.

Man I was gonna say the same. It might not be "the best", but Railgun (and Railgun S) definetly had me hyped by playing the opening songs again throughout the episodes. I think Railgun S1 played them in episodes 12 and 24, while Railgun S had it (only?) in the 24th episode.

Gurren Lagann doing it in the final fight was amazing as well, and while it's technically not the opening, pretty much every time "Before My Body Is Dry" played during Kill la Kill, I was just hyped up.
Don't mind me,
just passing by...

This doesn't actually work for me if the OP/ED song is playing for the background. But I will give an example in my opinion, ending Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou in episode 24 gives darkness and OP song also plays.
