and this
number nine Rock Lee versus gotta Naruto
it's not easy being a ninja
especially when part of your graduation
involves fighting your fellow students
with often back-breaking results
and no fight was more back-breaking than
when hand-to-hand combat prodigy Rockley
took on psychotics and wielder Gaara
[Music]
sand coffin the fight between these two
polar opposites dealt with Lee's
determination and unwavering dedication
despite the fact he possessed no
ninjutsu talent as well as gars
blood-stained and tragic past and it's
the definition of epic

Gohan vs Cell Dragon Ball Z
[Applause]
[Music]
oh yeah expect a fair few of these sand
brawls to show up this one in particular
is the battle between the son of Goku
and the ultimate Android you won't
defeat me
Oh what say it like you can could be
with me when his father is unable to
defeat cell Gohan steps up to the plate
while this may seem like suicide his
inner rage and sudden transformation to
Super Saiyan 2 helps him kick some
Android ass
plus with Goku's death and an episode
long beam struggle thrown in you've got
quite the battle on your hands
number five Ichigo versus ulquiorra
bleach
this was a clash in the making in order
to save his friend substitute Shinigami
ichigo kurosaki crosses swords with a
high-ranking member of the fearsome
Espada I prefer not to unleash this at
close range over the series these two
duked it out multiple times but the
creme de la creme comes when they ascend
to their highest forms resulting in a
hollow bloodbath
[Music]
let's slip the dogs of war
number four Edward Elric versus
homunculus Full Metal Alchemist and Full
Metal Alchemist Brotherhood this is my
real for coming
okay we're kind of cheating here since
there are multiple matchups between
these enemies still we can't deny that
one of the greatest anime protagonists
going up against the embodiments of sin
is awesome whether it's a grueling
struggle against greed ripping pride a
new one or the decisive battle against
father the Full Metal Alchemist takes no
prisoners
number three Goku vs Frieza Dragon Ball
Z in exactly two minutes you'd be
nothing but a pile of ashes just look
like a chappie
that's you should be afraid because your
spree of hatred will end at the hands of
a saying like you always fear no
surprise here
the battle between the legendary Super
Saiyan and the transforming alien tyrant
atop a dying world is one that all anime
fans know and love with enough
kamehameha screens and punches to keep
you going for episodes on end will
always remember the duel that destroyed
a planet
you really should have thrown in the
towel Frieza
[Music]
number two
naruto vs pain narrative Shippuden this
was a fight fans of Naruto were dying to
see and they weren't disappointed after
enduring some hellish training our
favorite blonde ninja took on the leader
of the sinister Akatsuki organization
the man or five men and one woman who
killed Naruto's master and destroyed his
village this ninja showdown gives us
plenty of ninjutsu blood and the same
heart our protagonist is known for
[Music]
before we let our number one pick loose
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one Goku vs Vegeta Dragon Ball Z

all right try the triple Kaioken attack

of Dragon Ball Z's epic battles and it
holds a special place in our hearts find
me
eternal rivals Goku and Vegeta meet as
enemies for the first time resulting in
a brawl that switches between beam
struggles blows that could crush
mountains and the oh so famous giant
