Rengoku vs Akaza is hands down the greatest fight in anime history. The fight sequence, choreography, animation, emotional depth, infighting, impact and delivery has set it apart from anything else i've ever watched . I believe this fight will pave the way for the future of anime where we move away from the DBZ / Isekai nonsense of huge AOE attacks and puts some substance into anime fight scenes.

Have you watched the Saber Alter vs Medusa & Shiro fight from FSN Heaven's Feel - III? Plus I dunno, Gintoki vs Takasugi in the fourth season of Gintama?

Yea I watched all 3 Heaven's feel movie in theaters. They were spectecular from an animation standpoint but the choreography is pretty shallow. Its your typical DBZ aoe/wave attack spam + darting around, good eye candy but ultimately shallow.

As for Levi vs Beast titan, i'm not sure how its remotely in the same realm since it was just a mere 10 sec one sided slaughter. I wouldn't even call that a fight.

Emotion aside, on topic of choreography, Have you seen naruto? that show has the best action sequences, last I saw the naruto-sasuke in boruto.
In terms of choreography and impact there're many greater fights not just naruto, I wouldn't even call KnY one of the best.

Naruto-sasuke vs Momoshiki is the best fight in Boruto/Naruto. The animation is not remotely on the same tier, the choreography is good, definitely better than Alter v Rider, but still way below Rengoku vs Akaza.

It's not my favorite fight since I like Saber Alter vs. Rider/Shirou more. But to each and their own, I guess.
Also, HF3 fight is just plain better and I've watched both in the big theaters. Rengoku vs. Akaza is more emotional though.

And Akaza vs. Rengoku isn't even the best fight in KnY. Well, it is for now, but knowing ufotable, they'll do an excellent job with KnY Season 2's fight with
and it'll easily surpass Mugen Train.
And furthermore to the series and my favorite fight of KnY will happen


I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao

Alter v Rider is your typical mindless DBZ wave + aoe attack spam and nonsensical supersonic darting around. You can't even track where the two are spatially, its just a dazing blur of animation effects. The choreography is weak, no infighting, attacks feel shallow with no impacts. The fight has no emotional depth, no thrills whatsoever when I watched it in the cinema. Its nothing more than visual eye candy that has close to no substance. Rengoku v Akaza is in another realm, you could feel the physical impacts of Rengoku's blade clashing with Akaza's fists, that had everyone on the edge, compounded by the emotional element, that fight is in a totally different realm.

Uhhhh... okay, maybe for you.
But mindless DBZ wave spam huh

The whole point of fighting Saber Alter is that every strike she does makes mana bursts, so yeah there'll be spamming since it's her normal attack.
The choreography is weak? No infighting?
Well, that's because they are different kinds of fighters. Rider is more of a mid-range fighter and Saber can fight both in long and short-range.
No impacts?
Well, the point of their fight is that any strike that Saber does to Rider will instantly kill her. And Rider's normal attacks don't do shit to Saber Alter, which is why only her Noble Phantasm does damage to her.

The fight has no emotional depth because there isn't any. In Fate, there isn't any fight with emotional depth since the point of their fight is to develop. The closest one with emotional depth is Shirou vs. Archer, but that's only if you've read the VN.
And probably Saber Alter vs. Shirou where they killed each other.
And in the VN, it is more emotional when Shirou kills Saber Alter since, at that point of the VN, I've already finished all the routes beside HF.

Furthermore KnY paving way to a new era with its fights? when these fights came in 2000s, esp godly spike train fight.

Idk man you need to watch more, cuz even the ones I'm mentioning are very popular scenes, there're more. As I said KnY isn't even one of the best in terms of choreography, but it's still top tier.

And no momshiki fight is actually superior, flashy and top tier animation doesn't mean better fight, camera work and choreography makes it better.

No cap, every fight in cowboy bebop and samurai champloo is just too much, you can't go any better than this.





Regarding just best fight, how could I even forget this



Not sure abt most, but you must've atleast seen this. Actually I can just go ahead mention every major fight in OPM.



And yes, watch this, it's like they had put the whole budget of show in just one fight. smooth af

Huh? it's abt choreography, Leaving aside OPM and hitori no shita cuz they don't have much "depth". You're calling, cowboy, samurai champloo and sword of the stranger weak shit?

Yeah this confirms it you haven't seen any of it. Just fanning over KnY.

Uhm, sir these are old ass animes, everyone's watched them. There are dozens of fights that blow these out the water. I kinda get people bringing up Momoshiki vs Sas/Naruto and HF3 even though they're worse fights but this one is just...I guess this is one of those boomers arguing that VHS is better than BluRay shit? Not much I can say to counter this in that case.

I think that's why I mentioned "very popular" that everyone has seen cuz you don't seem to have seen much, calling KnY best choreography and all, and these two are for saying "new era with KnY".

As old as they're, ain't getting beaten by KnY fights in terms of animation. Do mention the fights that "blow these out of water", except you fanboying over KnY.

Sword of the stranger, Cowboy Bepop, OPM, Hitori no Shita?? You must be trolling quoting me these mediocre anime with poor to average fight scenes. Stop trolling and actually go watch some good anime.

I respect that even though I preferred Annie vs Eren (second fight) more

My favorite probably has to be Dio vs Jotaro the voice acting is great and I love the clash of the two characters and their personalities also the standoff in the end is really cool

You aren't supposed to, I think. None of the upper moons have been properly introduced yet in the anime, so with Akaza, you are supposed to get a feel of how powerful the upper moons are compared to the lower moons.
I like dub more than sub because I am not a weeb.
