I just got Rurouni Kenshin Vol. 13, and has an exceptional fight scene. spoiler[The fight between Anji and Sano is not only very powerful, in terms of it's fighters, but has a lot of feeling and emotion to it, which takes it up a level. And the fact that it's not their techniques that decide the fight, but rather their wills and spirits adds depth to it.] The fight scenes in Kill me, Kiss me, are pretty good too, although seem kinda toned down a bit. This may have been discussed already to death here, but do ya'll know any other such exciting and powerful fight scenes in other mangas?

Any and all reponses are welcome...

Flame of Recca and Naruto both have excellent fight scenes. They are interesting and unpredictable, and while things can be confusing, both have extremely detailed use of motion, blurs, and other kinetic effects. Rurouni Kenshin has great fights, but I find them to be a little exaggerated at times for such a historically accurate manga.

spoiler[One of my all time favorite manga fight scenes is probably Gutts vs Zodd on the snowtop mountain with the swords as graves for the members of the Hawks. That fight was so badass. It showed how far Gutts had come since his first fight against Zodd, and it set up all the great future storylines such as Griffith delcaring he's going to take his own kingdom and Zodd becoming his right hand man. Awesome fight considering all the rage Gutts had that one moment and he still couldn't get past Zodd. He's got alot of work to do Very Happy.]

Sorry, keep forgetting Dark Horse is only at volume 7 Smile.

It would help if you put some spoilers tag or give some warning.

I would say some of the fights in Tenjo Tenge they're pretty intense.

Spoilers
spoiler[The most intense one's that come to mind is Nagi's fights against some of the members of "F".]


I would say any fight where Guts faces against an Apostle in Berserk. The fights are well drawn and you can really feel the emotion of the characters.

I wasn't expecting this, but some of the best fight scenes in manga that I have read are in Negima! by Ken Akamatsu. Espically in Vol 6 and 7, the art is gorgous and the images seem to leap off the page. There is an excellent sense of timing, direction and perspective in them that makes them quite enjoyable.
