I've seen numerous lists regarding rivalries in anime, but have rarely seen an actual poll on which one people like the most. So which anime rivalry here do you like the most?

Amuro and Char's rivalry is always my favorite one, spanning a large amount of the series, even influencing new looks a like or characters who looked up to them, even after the OYW.

Goku vs Vegeta can't even be considered rivalry. We all know Goku is always some steps ahead because the author hates Vegeta. I like Bakugou but Deku at some moment will become unreachable.

From the list, I pick Kiritsugu vs Kotomine.

I really like Senku vs Tsukasa in Dr. Stone because I wasn't expecting that when I started watching the anime.

Mein Kaiser Reinhard von Lohengramm vs Yang Wen-Li is the smartest, therefore the best, rivalry in fiction.

Goku vs Vegeta, obviously, this is unquestionable.
With that done with let's mention a rivalry that's worth mentioning: Iori vs Kohei - Grand Blue,

author hates vegeta?
Toriyama gave vegeta a good character development, made him a good father, and someone who cares for his family

Where author tried to make goku a bad father, someone who don't care for his family also tried to made goku a villain in super

Oh yeah,author hates vegeta

A tie between Kiritsugu vs Kotomine and Gintoki vs Takasugi.

I'll chose Gintama though since the build-up is way better than F/Z imo.

Tough to choose the actual best one. like idk man. I guess I'd simply would choose the classics like:

- Naruto vs Sasuke
- Shizuo vs Izaya
- Kougami vs Makashima
- Guts vs Griffith
- Light vs L
- Yugi vs Kaiba

^ would probably say these are the best ones on the list tbh.

In therms of power, yes. No matter how Vegeta trains, Goku always get the spotlights. This is one of the things I hated about the last arc of Dragon Ball Super manga. It was the perfect opportunity to make Vegeta save the day but no, superior instinct goes BRRRRRRRR!

As far as healthy rivalries, I would say my favorites from the list would be Light vs L and Joe vs Rikiishi. Naruto vs Sasuke and Goku vs Vegeta would be the worst for me because their relationships turned toxic at a certain point.

Voted for Ash vs Gary because it's the most legendary one of all time. But of course I didn't expect anyone else but me around here to vote for it.

Also sad to see another pretty iconic one like Taichi vs Yamato being reduced to the "other" option.

kazuma vs ryuhou in scryed.
I really enjoyed how they were forced to work together, almost became friends.
then the anime(at least the movie) ended with: oh yeah we forgot the beat eachother up.
then they do. I've never seen so much congregated bitter anger in a fight. it was beautiful.

For me it's Asta vs Yuno in Black Clover. They can be rival, but they are always supporting each other and it's cool to see a rivalry where neither of the rivals think bad things about the other one, but believes 100% the other can beat him in their competition if they lack a little in the middle of their journey.

I'm kinda shocked no one's mentioned Zoro vs Sanji yet, I was already surprised that they weren't even on the list because they're the first rivalry that came to my mind.

I ended up voting for Guts vs Griffith though.

My favorite would be Naruto vs Sasuke but its quite unhealthy compared to Asta vs Yuno from Black Clover where they help each other each step of their way to their goals.

Naruto vs sasuke is only time, I was really invested in "rivalry".
Goku vs vegeta or Light vs L is good too
Deku vs Bakugo is kind of repetitive to me
Guts vs Griffith is like sheep vs lion (too much power imbalance)
Lelouch vs Suzaku is literally the worst rivalry I have ever seen in anime history
rest are out there in middle or doesn't feel like rivalry
