Awesome / 1 Minute Melee

Jin Saotome vs Gambit

• Gambit throwing Jin into the wall with several explosive cards.
• Jin using the Mecha Blodia's arm to punch Gambit into orbit to finish the fight.

Terry Bogard vs Burai Yamamoto

• The entire fight is very close, with each of them trading combos after combos, but Burai wins, bouncing Terry off the floor again and again before he finally stays down.

Akuma vs Kenpachi Zaraki

• The tone is set when Akuma, a pseudo-demon powered by the Surge of Murderous Intent, makes Kenpachi laugh by challenging him to a fight.
• During the fight, Kenpachi leaps, slices Akuma's chest open, and punches him so hard that he sets off a giant shockwave. The normally fragile Akuma still fights on.
• Akuma's Bare-Handed Blade Block and his subsequent disarming of Kenpachi. Kenpachi doesn't even care. He just compliments Akuma and goes back in bare-handed. While it doesn't work out for him, that kind of determination is awesome.
• Akuma ends the battle by launching Kenpachi into the air, whipping him with a Tatsumaki Zankyuyaku, and kicking him so hard that he gets launched into the distance like Team Rocket! It's revealed in the epilogue of Catwoman vs. Black Widow that Kenpachi is STILL sailing through the air from the force of that kick. While it's impossible to tell just how much time has passed since their initial fight, we at least have a rough idea of how far he's flown; while we see him crashing into a large city, the initial fight took place in a forested mountain area with no sign of civilization. At the very least it's safe to assume that he was launched a few dozen miles— it's also entirely possible, considering Catwoman's involvement in that fight, that he was kicked all the way from Japan to the United States. Either way, this is also a crowning moment for Kenpachi, considering that he SURVIVED this even if he lost his match.

Captain Falcon vs Captain Commando

• Falcon gets knocked around by Captain Commando's squadron, but not even a 5 on 1 situation is enough to keep him down.
• Falcon avoids one of Commando's attacks and delivers a devastating Knee of Justice to the face. Commando returns the favor by avoiding the Falcon Punch and pulling off a spirited counterattack.
• At the end, Falcon uses Blue Falcon to run over Commando's team, rams into Commando himself, and outruns the Blue Falcon to finally Falcon Punch Commando into the nearest mountain!

Batman vs Albert Wesker

• Battle starts with Batman dropping from above on Wesker's men (The Umbrella spec-ops team from Umbrella Chronicles for some neat flavor) and utterly destroying them.
• When Wesker shows up, the screen suddenly goes black as he says "I'll play with you" and shows up, with some awesome music accompanying his appearance.
• The ease with which Wesker avoids most of Batman's attacks. It only makes it that much more awesome when Batman finally gets some good hits in. Too bad Batman gets curb stomped when Wesker finally gets serious. He even seems disappointed at how short the fight ends up being.
  I told you— I was the only worthy one.

Kim Kaphwan vs Juri Han

• The fight ends with Kim kicking Juri so hard that he collapses a giant temple with her as the wrecking ball!

Zero vs Meta Knight

• An utterly badass sword duel and the closest melee to date.

Bowser vs Dr. Eggman

• The video and animation is inspired by the Super Mario Bros. Z series, which is also a bit heartwarming, too, considering that the series is what inspired One Minute Melee in the first place.
• The ending. When Eggman shoots rockets at Bowser, sending him flying away. But Bowser rides the rockets back into Eggman's mech, disarming it and ending the match. Then, to pour more salt in the wound, Bowser approaches Eggman and grins at him, before dropkicking him and his broken mech away, Super Smash Bros. style. Literally kicking him when he's down.
• While it isn't a Death Battle, it's at least worth noting that this is the first time a Mario character has defeated a Sonic character in one of ScrewAttack's videos.

Deadpool vs Deathstroke

• The rematch between the two mercenaries, while not on the level of their Death Battle appearance, is still a worthwhile minute of awesome moves from both combatants.
• The ending. Deathstroke simultaneously shoots and beats the crap out of Deadpool with his sniper rifle, right before firing a shot that reduces Deadpool to a bunch of assorted limbs and a head, taking the win for himself.

Dante vs Ragna the Bloodedge

• The beginning implies an Off Screen Moment Of Awesome for Ragna, as Dante comes across him over the prone bodies of Hakumen, or at least what appear to be copies of him, yet Rags decides to fight Dante regardless.
• The fight itself is quite impressive, the two warriors trading combo after combo yet getting back up regardless, with Dante pulling an especially impressive moment by surviving Ragna's Black Onslaught.
• The ending. Ragna gets hit with Dante's Million Dollar hyper, but gets back up, activates the Azure Grimoire's Blood Kain, and finishes Dante off with a single strike.

Sakuya Izayoi Vs. Dio Brando

• The beginning is probably one of the longest in One Minute Melee, involving Dio throwing a bus at Sakuya, then throwing her into it while time is frozen, and then rapidly punching the bus once she's inside it until it blows up... only for Sakuya cut the bus in half, looking no worse for wear. And that happened before the proper battle even began.
• Sakuya blocking The World's Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs long enough for her to find an opening to cut its arm off (which cuts Dio's arm as well). And that's with the implication that Sakuya couldn't see Dio's stand. Having been done at the last few seconds, this would have normally meant the end of the match, but...
• Dual ZA/THE WORLD! Thanks to The World's power and that of the Lunar Dial watch, the battle ends up drawing out way longer than merely one minute, because the timer itself was caught in the time freeze.
• After looking like Sakuya had finally beaten him, Dio proceeds to beat her up with his sliced off arm, causing her to let go of her Luna Dial clock and trapping her in the time freeze.
• The final blow. Sakuya throws a knife at Dio's throat to silence him, following up with another that ricochets all over the place before eventually piercing through Dio and ends the fight with a Flechette Storm. What makes it even better is that Sakuya reenacts Jotaro's fake out and time stop at the end of Part 3's final battle right before she pincushions Dio. And Dio himself put the final nail in the coffin, since his infamous steamroller attack actually pushed the Luna Dial clock towards Sakuya and allowed said fake out to happen.
• In a very reality warping way, to the outside viewer of the double time pause between Sakuya and Dio, the finale of the fight took place in the span of less than a second.

Mewtwo vs Frieza

• Mewtwo's introduction: As Frieza gloats about attaining all the Dragon Balls, a Master Ball comes flying over the horizon, and explodes open on contact with the ground. Mewtwo emerges with the sound of its cry from the games, and strikes an Ass Kicking Pose. Never has a Pokeball opening looked so epic!
• Mewtwo deflecting Frieza's Death Bullets with its Barrier despite its opponent's planet-destroying levels of power. It then becomes a Funny Moment when Frieza gets frustrated, then warps around it and punts Mewtwo away— to which Mewtwo responds by ripping out a series of giant boulders from the ground with its telekinetic powers, before hurling them all at him at once. Taken even further when Mewtwo sees Frieza's Full Power Death Beam (Which for the record, he had previously used to one-shot Future Trunks in his own series.) coming, stops it in mid-air, and launches it back at him with one wave of its hand.
• Frieza defeats Mewtwo by quickly creating a Death Ball whilst it's distracted, before blasting it at Mewtwo to blacken it and lay waste to the area around them, complete with Pre Ass Kicking One Liner. Yes, he managed to perform one of his strongest moves behind Mewtwo's back without it noticing until it was too late.
  Frieza: YOU WILL BE KILLED BY ME!

Dan Hibiki vs Hercule Satan

• Hercule's tirade against Dan in the intro of the battle when Dan tries to act tough by walking straight into him is both hilarious and awesome.
  Hercule: HEEEEEEY! What's the big idea, sucka?! YOU JUST WALKED STRAIGHT INTO ME! HAVE YOU NO GODDAYUMN MANNERS?!
• Despite undoubtedly being the weakest and most pathetic Street Fighter character, Dan is still capable of blasting a military truck in half with a single Shinku Gadoken. If that isn't impressive enough, it made a nearby soldier run away in fear.
• The combo Hercule unleashed against Dan near the end of the battle. Despite being a major goofball, he's still a capable athlete and fighter- which definitely showed there. Then, once Dan gets the upper hand again, he's still able to win by giving him an exploding handheld game console and tricking him into detonating it.
• Likewise with Dan. Sure he loses, but compared to how he fared in his later Death Battle against Hercule, he's able to actually survive and put up a much better fight- to the point where he not only destroys a military truck with his Shinku Gadoken as previously mentioned, but he's pulling off legitimate Ansatsuken techniques such as the tatsumaki senpuu kyaku and hadouken as part of his combos. He even has Hercule on the ropes towards the end before his opponent ultimately outsmarts him.

Samus Aran vs Mega Man

• While OMM is by their own admission a no-research battle, this is one where they clearly knew who they were using. The match was portrayed moreso as Samus's unbelievably powerful arsenal and Chozo-enhanced biology against Mega Man's powerful robotic body and extreme durability. The latter ended up winning out.
• Samus loses the match... but it's not over yet, because it turns out that Mega Man wasn't fighting Samus at all—it's the SA-X, who goes One-Winged Angel and starts pummeling Mega Man. Then the real Samus shows up, and the two team up to utterly destroy it.
• The fact that they used the SA-X for this battle in a more "storytelling" move similar to the last bout. The SA-X is note for note identical to Samus in abilities, weaponry, battle tactics, experience and capabilities, making Mega Man's win a fair one — and did so without having to make Samus break character, who wouldn't fight someone without good reason. This isn't Death Battle, after all.

Oni vs. Kenpachi Zaraki

• After Kenpachi has been kicked presumably around the entire WORLD following his first fight with Akuma, he challenges him to a rematch within SECONDS of crash-landing. He even manages to give AKUMA of all people an Oh, Crap! moment while doing so.
• Kenpachi and Akuma were BOTH holding back in their initial fight. This time? Not so much.
• Kenpachi takes off the eyepatch and manages to give a powered-up Akuma one heck of a beatdown, and towards the end, he slices a mountain in half.
• Not to be outdone, Oni leaps into the air and punches Ken's face into the ground so hard, it sets off a massive burst of lava that takes up the missing half of the mountain, winning the fight for Oni again!
• A special mention for Kenpachi surviving that last attack. He's kind of crispy and needed Yachiru to bail him out, but it's clear that Ken has difficulty dying.

Lightning vs Wonder Woman

• First fully 3D battle of the second season and it looks visually stunning.

Ghost Rider vs Scorpion

• No good Ghost Rider fight is complete without his bike! Ghost Rider summons his sweet ride and grinds its front wheel on Scorpion's face.
• Gotta give some credit to Scorpion, too. He knocks Ghosty off his bike and hurts him with a giant hellfireball, of all things.
• Likewise, no good Ghost Rider fight goes without the Penance Stare! After mounting Scorpion and giving him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, Ghost Rider holds him up by his neck and forces him to look into his eyes. Scorpion is so drained from this attack that the following knockout punch just seems to be a formality.
• Ghost Rider saving Ken from Scorpion. Heck, special mention goes to Ken for going down there to avenge Ryu after his death against Scorpion.
• You have to give Scorpion a little credit. Not only did he defeat Ryu in their DEATH BATTLE!, but he defeated Ken and had him at his mercy, off screen.

Wario vs Knuckles

• Knuckles pulling boulders from the ground with his own strength.
• Wario using his fart as a strategy for both offense and defense. Even stealth out of all things!

Kenshiro vs Jotaro Kujo

• The fight starts with Dio regenerating from his fight with Sakuya and attacking Kenshiro, only for Ken to Punch Parry The World's attack and kick Dio out of the area.
• Kenshiro's first attack is leaping into the air and thrusting his hand out towards Jotaro. Jotaro sends out Star Platinum to punch Kenshiro's hand...and reels back in pain.
• During the following beat-down, Jotaro maintains his senses enough to summon Star Platinum when Ken lets his guard drop, which is no easy feat considering it's Kenshiro, Master of the Hokuto Shinken we're talking about.
• Mid-way through the fight, Kenshiro starts flash stepping behind Jotaro constantly, perplexing Jotaro until he finally hits Ken...only for Ken to No-Sell his punch and launch him in the air for a flurry of kicks.
  Kenshiro: Wherever you attack from is meaningless.
  Jotaro: Then let's compare raw power.
• Before the previously mentioned flash step spam, Kenshiro lands a punch on Jotaro that, despite Star Platinum blocking, still sends him flying. As Kenshiro winds up for a follow-up, Jotaro rushes in and knees Kenshiro in the stomach hard enough that he doubles over in pain.
• The finale of the fight is an epic Pummel Duel between Kenshiro and Star Platinium, with their battle cries, Atatatatata! and Oraoraoraora!, going against each other. Jotaro wins and KOs Ken, which is really amazing in and of itself. Sure, he had a Flying Brick of a Stand and received some significant injuries in the processs, but this is still a 17-year-old high school Delinquent managing to take down a grown man who trained in a highly destructive 1000-year-old assassination art for most of his life.

Vergil vs Sephiroth

• Vergil's Devil Trigger being strong enough to beat Sephiroth.
• Sephiroth promising that he will fight Vergil again and win.And in Death Battle proper, he did.

Link vs Sora

• Link's Clawshot dragging Sora out of the sky and into the ground- much like how he used it in his battle against Pit- followed by revealing that he'd dropped Sora into a pile of lit Bombs, which he then detonates by firing a Bomb Arrow- causing a massive explosion that kicks up a dust cloud that can be seen from miles away.
• Sora, despite being exhausted from the assault above, triggers his Limit Form and slashes through the Gale Boomerang's tornado with a stylish Action Command.
• Link leaping several feet into the air to perform the Ending Blow, and Sora barely preventing its success by impaling Link with a beam of light from his Ragnarok Limit Break whilst prone on the ground. Bonus points as well for keeping in-character by making sure not to kill him.
• One for Sora in the post-fight epilogue. In particular, it shows the reason why Link- who normally wouldn't fight fellow heroes without a good reason for it- attacked Sora, Donald and Goofy in the first place. He'd been possessed by Dark Link, who is forced to leave Link's body after the battle. Basically, it not only gives a good reason for the two to battle without either of them breaking character, but also means that by proxy, Sora saved the life of the real Link. As soon as Link recovers, Dark Link promptly summons an enormous, Hyrule Warriors-scale horde of Heartless- and Sora, Donald and Goofy prepare to fight them. Shrugging off his injuries, Link immediately gets back up to join the trio- and with that, the four heroes all stand back-to-back with the demonic horde surrounding them, before leaping into the fray.

Luffy vs Naruto

• Luffy taking out Naruto's army of Shadow Clones with his Conqueror's Haki.
• Luffy's Gear Second being strong enough to face and beat Naruto in One-Tailed Version One form.

Zoro vs Kenshin

• The final slash off, ending in Zoro's victory.
  Zoro: Lion's Song.
• Sasuke appearing at the end. Could we have a future combatant?

BB Hood vs Peacock

• BB gets one when she manages to pick up Lonesome Lenny when Peacock hits her with him, drops him right back on Peacock when she tries to get away, and then unloads a hail of gunfire with her two woodsmen henchmen in order to make Lenny explode. And credit goes to Peacock who survives it.
• Peacock gets her ultimate one at the end, when she and her buddies gang up on BB before Peacock lights a cigar and blows her up without a trace with one last bomb, grinning all the while.
  Peacock: Ha! Whatta sucker!

Metal Sonic vs Bowser Jr.

• In an Ass Pull, SMBZ's characterization of Mecha Sonic comes in out of nowhere to utterly destroy Metal Sonic and fight Bowser Jr. instead, who is visibly terrified throughout. Bowser Jr. managing to not die straight away against a machine that killed an entire world. In fact, not only does he survive for more than a few seconds, he actually gets in some good hits.
  • Also worth mentioning is that the usual start-of-match "GO FOR BROKE - FIGHT" prompt shows up as Metal and Jr. are about to start fighting, only for it to change once Mecha Sonic appears as the real challenger to "TRIUMPH OR DIE - ENGAGE".
  • The instant Mecha Sonic rockets in, the music switches to Snappleman's "The Doomsday", one of the most iconic songs used in SMBZ and which has become synonymous with the character since the series' airing. When they crafted this SMBZ love letter, they really went all-out.
• After Mecha Sonic destroys the Koopa Clown Car and gives Bowser Jr. a brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, the monstrous mecha hurls the beaten Koopa Prince towards a nearby wall. Then, who should show up but Bowser, who catches Bowser Jr. and safely moves him away from the fight before turning to engage Mecha Sonic himself for attacking his son.

Master Hand vs Polygon Man

• Master Hand picking up the entire Final Destination and swinging it at Polygon Man like a baseball bat, launching him to the Moon. Credit to Polygon Man as well there for surviving such a blow and still being in good enough shape to continue fighting him.
• The finishing blow. After the two combatants fly back toward the Final Destination, a Smash Ball appears and Polygon Man initially gets it by slamming down on top of it, blocking Master Hand's approach with his force fields as he taunts him. Not to be outdone, Master Hand drills through the shield and stabs straight through Polygon Man, knocking the Smash Ball out of him and allowing Master Hand to grab it himself. With that, Master Hand tears open a rift in spacetime- ala Super Smash Bros. 4- sucking Polygon Man inside, massively damaging him and shrinking him down to a friggin' trophy, which falls straight into Master Hand's palm. Crushing the trophy to shards, Master Hand wins, concluding with an epic Evil Laugh. The cherry on top: Master Hand didn't even need his SNK Boss One-Winged Angel form Master Core to finish Polygon Man off.

Green Arrow vs Hawkeye

• The ending. After Hawkeye forces Green Arrow onto the ropes by beating him in close quarters and launching an Explosive Arrow his way, it looks for a second like he's down. Cue Green Arrow using a clever strategy involving the resulting smoke screen from the blast- using it to disguise him first firing off an Explosive Arrow towards Hawkeye, then using a Grappling Hook Arrow to get to the ceiling whilst he's distracted. As Clint dodges the resulting explosion, Oliver drops down on him with a two-footed kick before he can react, knocking the Avenger unconscious and letting him take the win. Just the fact that Green Arrow is now the first (And to date, only) Justice League member to come out with a win in a One Minute Melee- succeeding where Batman, Flash and Wonder Woman all failed. Likewise, he also shares a feat with fellow DC combatant Deathstroke in being the second Death Battle loser to beat the same opponent they lost to in a One Minute Melee.

Ippo Makunouchi vs Little Mac

• In an utterly badass boxing match and one of the closest match-ups to date, Little Mac is ultimately able to take the win by knocking Ippo out with a Three-Star Uppercut- or basically, a shoryuken. Commiserations as well go to Ippo, who is not only able to keep up with Little Mac's punishing blows for practically the entire match, he's even able to punch him hard enough to launch him several feet into the air and even stretch the ropes right back like they're made of rubber. Anyone who's involved in Boxing or Wrestling will know that the latter feat in particular is extremely hard to do.
• Look at how much Ippo and Mac exchanged blows like an actual match- with both of them putting up an incredible performance and gaining the upper-hand with their respective signature punches at various points. It's a rare example of a One Minute Melee literally going right to the wire, and can ultimately be described as a match that even the likes of Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali would be proud of.
• When Hyper Gauge picked up One Minute Melee, the fight was extended to a three-round no-holds barred slug fest, ending up outside the ring with Ippo and Mac knocking each other out, each having won a round previously.

Heihachi Mishima vs. Geese Howard

• Geese takes the initiative by launching Heihachi higher than a five-story building while threatening him with the inevitability of death, then making him bounce on enormous blades of energy all the way down.
• Not long after the assault above, Heihachi tosses a giant pillar at Geese, except the pillar serves a distraction and leaves Geese open for a combo that ends with Heihachi power-bombing him through the floor.
• How does the victor clinch his win? SURPRISE BEAR ATTACK. Kuma softens up Geese just enough for Heihachi to knock him out, chain him to the nosecone of a rocket and send him flying off to space, in a reference to his Tekken 5 ending. Now, if only he could do the same to his relatives.
  Heihachi: You're an eyesore.

Goku vs. Sonic (April Fools video)

• Over the course of the video, Goku defeats Sonic, of course, but also Godzilla, Kirby, Captain America, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Hulk and Thor, before blowing up the Death Star with a single kamehameha (the same one he used for defeated Hulk, no less). And he did all this while being in his base form.
• Unfortunately, he then tries to fight Saitama... Who, true to the way his fights usually end, obliterates Goku with only one punch.

Captain America vs. Guile

• Guile kicks Cap's shield so hard that it looks like a red, white, and blue blur. Cap catches it out of mid-air, but he does look shocked at how hard Guile kicked it.
• Guile launches his Sonic Hurricane at Cap, complete with a flashy camera angle, but Captain America just charges out of the dust with his shield in front of him.
• Captain America finishing off Guile with a legitimate combo from Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Asuna vs. Orie

• The first time Orie summons Thanatos, she sends Asuna bouncing off the ground like a skipping stone out of a window.
• Towards the end, Asuna knocks Orie out of the air and splits Thanatos's sword in half when it tries to block her, but Orie leaps off one of the shattered halves in mid-air and launches Asuna through the ground with her feet, winning the fight with a stylish counterattack.
• In general, this is one of the prettiest fights OMM has done to date, despite the relative obscurity of its combatants.

Bowser vs Mecha Sonic

• Hot off the heels of the bout against Junior, the Koopa King comes to take his revenge. He succeeds. Completely. The way this is portrayed at the start makes it all the more magnificent. Mecha Sonic and Bowser banter in a epic rebuttal, before Mecha Sonic teleports behinds Bowser, ready to punch him in what he assumes is gonna be another Curb-Stomp Battle...only for Bowser to catch the fist and launch him away. Cue "ENTER THE HEAT OF BATTLE...FIGHT". Cue the Curb-Stomp Battle, only in Bowser's favor.
• Throughout the fight, Mecha Sonic spams his Dragon Ball-esque Flash Step strategy of warping around the opponent and pummeling them from all angles, as he tends to do. Unfortunately for him, this is his first time fighting a foe as huge and heavy as Bowser, and all Mecha manages to do is keep in range for the occasional crushing blow that Bowser manages to sneak in.
• Mecha Sonic blows up an entire mountain with just one of his missiles, for the purpose of warping up and kicking the enormous falling chunks of rock at Bowser like footballs. This doesn't faze the Koopa King in the slightest, and he leaps up and smashes through the first few with his Whirling Fortress technique, before sneaking in a counter-attack by drop-kicking the last one straight back at his opponent.
• After the battle's conclusion, Mecha Sonic is unceremoniously executed in the most glorious, cathartic fashion by Bowser, reminding you this is a battle between villains. Some even consider this an unofficial ending to the original Super Mario Bros. Z run.
  Mecha Sonic: Please, spare me your speech. It hurts more to listen to you than the fact I can no longer punch you in the face.
  Bowser: Good point. I'll just cut to crushing your head.
  Mecha Sonic: Wait— Don't!
  CRUNCH.
• What makes the above especially awesome is how in the series proper, Mecha Sonic was an all-powerful mechanical monstrosity who was feared by literally everyone, and had annihilating an entire world and all its inhabitants, among other atrocities, to his name. Yet after all this, he's finally destroyed by the wrath of his latest victim's father, and shown what it's like to be on the receiving end of such a beatdown in the process.
• To top the entire thing off, the closing moments of the fight have Bowser watching as Mario, Luigi, the petrified Sonic statue and Peach fly away in a plane. Technically, this is a loss for Bowser. And he grins and remarks that he doesn't give a shit— he's gonna head back home and start fresh, come up with a plan so devious it'll bring an end to those damn Mario brothers! Even after suffering a loss, losing an airship, having to kick a former ally's ass, he's still not going to give up. Villain though he may be, it makes you wanna root for the big guy.

Kirby vs. Pac-Man

• The phrase "KIRBY'S FUCKING PISSED" has never been more accurate. He starts off the fight by inhaling a Boxin and using his Fighter ability to beat down Pac-Man for stealing his meal.
• Pac-Man responds in kind by beating the tar out of Kirby with a fire hydrant and holding him close to taunt him.
• Kirby later uses his Ninja ability to pull off a blistering assault against Pac-Man, shredding him faster than the eye can see.
• And Pac-Man responds to these attacks by comboing Kirby and dropping a huge bell on his pink, pudgy face.
• Shit gets real when Kirby uses a Boxin as a shield, and that random Boxin actually manages to lay the smack down on Pac-Man in its misplaced anger. Too bad it gets offed by a shuriken thrown by Kirby.
• Even with all this fast-paced action, it's only natural that the finishing blow stand out: Pac-Man sends out his ghosts and hits a flash-stepping Kirby, but Kirby, within seconds of being hit, inhales Clyde and spits him at Pac-man, which naturally kills the big yellow dot.
• In summary, one of the most action-packed and spectacular OMMs took place between two hungry circles with arms and legs. TheAnimouth deserves a lot of praise for what he's done here.

Trunks vs. Silver

• Trunks fires his Burning Attack at Silver, but he casually deflects it. However, it hits Trunks's sword and launches it right into Trunks's hand, and he continues his thrashing of Silver without missing a beat.
• Later on, Silver attempts to restrain Trunks with his telekinesis after pressing his advantage, but Trunks bursts out of his control and gives him a Megaton Punch.

Cell vs. Meruem

• Meruem completely breaks Cell. And we don't just mean he tears him limb from limb, oh no: Cell, at the end, is a terrified wreck who's missing an arm and a leg, all thanks to Meruem's one-sided devastation of him. What's more, Meruem made it look good.

Yu Narukami vs. Jean Pierre Polnareff

• Polnareff has Silver Chariot fire its rapier at Yu, only for Yu to deflect it. However, Silver Chariot catches it without trouble and lays a beatdown on Yu anyway.
• After slugging Pol in the face, Yu summons Yoshitsune, who proceeds to speed past Silver Chariot and slice up Pol with Yu's assistance. Even with the armor on, that's no easy feat.
• Speaking of Silver Chariot's armor, Polnareff removes it and forces Yu to go on the defensive, with Yu unable to compete with its blinding speed. It almost lands a fatal blow in this form, but gets countered by Yu's Angelic Grace.
• Yu and Izanagi finish the fight with an electrically charged double divekick chained into a Zionga that completely destroys Anubis and saves both Jotaro and Polnareff. The look on Anubis!Pol's face before the kick lands shows he knows just how screwed he is.

Saitama vs. Superman

• First off, this fight is revoked of the one minute time limit, allowing for an awesome and all-out fight.
• Well, we can't just say "the whole damn thing", so let's start with that awesome Shout-Out to One Punch Man's opening right after Saitama headbutts Superman.
• When Saitama has the upper hand, he knocks Superman into a building with a mundane series of repeated punches.
• After Superman leads Saitama to a secluded area, Superman refuses to let up on Saitama and subjects him to a brutal assault, dragging him through a plateau and stomping him to the ground at the end.
• Saitama and Superman fight so hard, they clear out the clouds over the continent of Africa.
• At the end of said air-fight, Superman twirls around and sends Saitama speeding towards the ground, and slams him into the rocks like a meteor. This doesn't bother Saitama. However, Superman using his Injustice 2 super move does.
• At the end, Superman uses his Solar Flare in a last-ditch attempt to take out Saitama. Saitama reacts to this like he reacted to Boros's broken armor. He was right to be unimpressed.

Oni vs. Kenpachi Round 3

• Oni emerges from the bushes and challenges Luffy, Zoro and Ichigo (who were lost in the forest) to a fight. On the other side of the forest, Kenpachi appears along with Yachiru, leaps down from the trees, and finally goes all-out by entering Bankai Mode to match Oni's power.
• Much like in the previous episode, Kenpachi demolishes the entire area by cutting down every single tree with his sword, and towards the end, he slices off Oni's left arm and cuts his right arm at the shoulder. At the end of the fight, Kenpachi performs a spinning attack to try and finish Oni, but Oni grabs him with his remaining arm, takes off the kid gloves, and outright kills the Soul Reaper with the Shun Goku Satsu, bringing an end to the feud once and for all.
• Luffy, Zoro, and Ichigo think they can finally get out of the forest. However, they see that the opening in the trees collapsed because of the damage done from the fight, and realize that they still can't get out. Much to the dismay of Zoro...who uses his swords to outright attack the camera in frustration.
  Roronoa Zoro: WE'LL BE STUCK IN HERE FOREVEEEEEEER!
• Even though he died at Akuma's hands eventually, massive props go to Kenpachi for being able to fight him on more-or-less equal terms across three episodes— surviving being launched from Japan to the United States by the Demon Armageddon and being caught in the explosion of an entire mountain thanks to the Misogi amongst other things, even coming close to killing him in his Oni form by the last fight. He only just loses out after being hit by the Shun Goku Satsu, but he definitely put up a great fight the whole time.

Hulk vs. Broly

• After being launched into space by Goku's Kamehameha, Hulk crash-landed on Namek. Broly is shown fighting with Nail. After he punched him into the mountain, Broly sensed Hulk's presence. The very moment the two set their sight on each other, the two rage-filled behemoths clash.
• Broly tosses Hulk into space and fires a charged-up ki blast at him. Hulk rebounds by catching onto some space rock, deflecting the ki blast, and using the force of the blast to ride down to Namek on a meteor.
• The final attack of the fight blows up Namek. Sucks to be the Namekians, but that's one hell of a way to end a brawl between two rage-fueled fighting machines. Broly may have won, but props go to Hulk for pushing him to that point and facing the final blow head on.

Rock Lee vs. Sanji

• Sanji starts off the fight with a hard-hitting combo, but as he knocks away Lee, he realizes too late that his leg has been caught by one of Lee's handwraps, which leads to Lee pulling Sanji in for a solid counterattack.
• After said counter, Sanji gets pissed enough to kick a tree in half with his Diable Jambe, then runs on the fallen half and comes at Lee feet-first.
• Towards the end, Rock Lee takes off his leg weights. Sanji tells him to bring it on, but gets interrupted by the weights slamming into the fallen tree so hard, they catapult him into the air, giving Lee the opportunity to end the fight with the Hidden Lotus.
• Something to note is that Rock Lee achieved what Naruto and Sasuke, the two poster boys of his home series, couldn't: he became the first Naruto character to win an OMM. What's more, he scored a victory against a One Piece character, and no One Piece characters lost an OMM before his fight happened. It may came down to animator's preference, but it's quite gratifying to see the likable but constantly Worfed Lee buck two trends at the same time.

Paul Phoenix vs. Ken Masters

• Paul Phoenix runs into Ken Masters, and believing he is participating in the Tournament, challenges him to a fight to see what America's "best" has to offer. Not knowing anything about the Tournament, Ken accepts the challenge.
• Paul and Ken both give one hell of a performance during this fight, to the point where it's difficult to point out any standout moments from this battle. However, the tension gets cranked up to 11 at the 25 second mark, where Paul charges up his Burning Fist and Ken blocks it just in the nick of time, setting off a huge explosion that wrecks the bridge they're standing on.
• After the fight, Paul promises to Ken that after he's done with the Tournament, they will finish the fight.

Joseph Joestar vs. Edward Elric

• The first few seconds of the battle consist of Edward manhandling a guy twice his size after turning the ground into spikes.
• When Edward comes at Joseph with his spear, Jojo dodges his thrusts and punches him so hard, the video cuts to a hand-drawn image of Ed getting a knuckle sandwich.
• After getting knocked down by a massive pillar, Jojo blocks Ed's arm blade in the nick of time and smacks him around with the butt of a Tommy gun before giving him a Hamon Overdrive. Which Ed counters by uppercutting Jojo about 15 feet into the air and beating him up so badly, he decides to make a run for it.
• After 50 seconds of frantic, fast-paced action, the fight can only end one way:
  Joseph: You're probably about to say...
  Both: I'll show you not to call me a kid again!
  (Cue Ed realizing he has a grenade tied around his wrist and getting KO'd)

Batman vs. Iron Man

• After his previous performance against Albert Wesker, Batman becoming the first previous One Minute Melee loser to return with a win definitely has to count. Special mention has to go to how he finishes the battle— after baiting Iron Man into using up all his power for his Proton Cannon, he throws an explosive batarang at Stark, which lodges into his armor and stuns him just long enough for Batman to appear behind him and detonate it just a second before he can react—
  Batman: Sleep tight, Tony.
  Iron Man: Wha— (cut to the outside of the building exploding)
• Bonus points as well for Batman staying true to character by making sure not to kill Iron Man— and after the fight, intimidating the normally very brash and cocky Tony Stark into being more committed to his role as a superhero (which was what caused the fight in the first place), before inducing a funny moment by pulling the classic Batman Stealth Hi/Bye trick on him—
  Iron Man: (long silence) ...asshole.

Vegeta vs. Shadow

• The first half of the fight is a brutal back-and-forth, with the highlight being Vegeta dragging Shadow up the side of a tree, which looked like it really hurt.
• After tossing Vegeta to the ground, Shadow activates Chaos Control, sets up three Chaos Spears, and kicks Vegeta into the projectiles before continuing his combo with an energy burst. He couldn't quite finish it, but it was quite the impressive chain of attacks.
• "You're done! GALICK GUN...FIIIIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Vegeta wins the fight in style, blasting Shadow into a boulder with a big freakin' ki blast after a spirited defense by the Ultimate Lifeform.

Waddle Dee vs. Goomba

• The Waddle Dees take a pretty bad beating in the early stages of the fight, but guess who shows up to turn the tide? Bandana Waddle Dee, who tears through the enemy ranks like a stubby-limbed Lu Bu. Special mention goes to the moment where he smacks a Goomba so hard, it leaves a dent in Bowser's Castle.
• Kabula also shows up to fight for the Waddle Dees by smashing into and firing missiles at Bowser's airships. Bowser Jr. tries to take her down with an enormous Banzai Bill, but in the end, she gets away unscathed...though the war ends in a draw.

Piccolo vs. Martian Manhunter

• Piccolo explicitly states that the Martian Manhunter might be even stronger than Goku, but he stands his ground and takes him on anyway, which is incredibly brave. Unnecessary, but brave.
• At one point, MM sends Piccolo crashing through four stone pillars and into a rock formation. Piccolo responds by setting up the Hellzone Grenade. Even MM is caught off guard by this.
• Towards the end, MM looks set to end the fight with a flying haymaker, but Piccolo holds him in place and activates the Hellzone Grenade on MM and himself. He ends up knocking himself out while MM still stays conscious, but man, what a gutsy move.

Snake vs. Chris Redfield

• Chris pulls off an incredibly long string of attacks that ends with his Sweep Combo, which involves hitting Snake with a stun baton, shooting him point blank with a shotgun, SMG, and large-caliber revolver, and blowing him up with a rocket launcher.
• However, Snake survives all of that. He also runs through a flamethrower and, after avoiding more point-blank shotgun blasts, plants C4 on Chris's chest and detonates it for the win.

Ibuki vs. Valentine

• Right from the get-go, Valentine attempts to ambush Peacock after her fight with BB Hood, only to be intercepted by Ibuki with a swift kunai and a few words. Then, even before the "official" fight starts, they trade a few quick blows. By the time the match starts, it is clear that Valentine's fighting with the intent to kill.
• Something about the way that Valentine somehow efficiently uses surgical equipment as quick, ninja-like weaponry throughout the fight just adds to her whole "creepy nurse" shtick in the most awesome way possible.
• After Valentine hits Ibuki with her strongest attacks, what happens? Ibuki just gets back up and pummels her opponent like nothing happened.

Raiden vs. Genos

• Raiden effortlessly dodges all of Genos' energy blasts and uses his HF Blade to send one of them flying back.
• Genos' Machine Gun Blow sends Raiden flying into the side of a skyscraper. When Genos attempts to incinerate him, Raiden dodges it by running down the building.
• Raiden clinches the win by slamming Genos into the same skyscraper he was sent into, and slices the enemy cyborg up before separating all of the parts by dropkicking them through the window.

M. Bison vs. God Rugal

• Rugal's clone takes a few moments to find his footing, but once he does, he's parrying all of Bison's attacks and tossing his own Psycho Shot back at him.
• Bison's response to his attacks being reflected is getting into an impromptu tennis match with Rugal with a Psycho Shot as the ball, which gets resolved by Bison catching him off guard with a Psycho Crusher and kicking him through a containment chamber.
• A vital moment of quick thinking on Bison's part allows him to avoid the Shun Goku Satsu by tossing one of Seth's inert clones in the way of his opponent.
• At the end of the fight, Rugal appears to have the fight all wrapped up... until Bison catches his charged-up shot after getting kicked into the air and puts an end to the fight with the Nightmare Booster, empowered by Rugal's own attack.

Gohan vs. Superboy

• Early in the episode, Gohan already thinks he's got the fight all wrapped up and flied off... only for Superboy to catch up to him, pass him, and just stand in front of him, and catch him in a lethal combo while he's caught off-guard
• At the midpoint of the battle, the combatants trade a myriad of lightning-quick blows, cancelling each other out until a particularity heavy one ruptures the ground.
• Gohan fires a Kamehameha wave, prompting Superboy to cancel it out with heat vision in a brief but epic Beam-O-War.

Luigi vs. Tails

• To initiate the fight, Luigi hammers Tails with enough force to send him flying a good ways across the forest.
• Tails fires off a shot that was just barely dodged by Luigi. The shot reduces the tree behind him to a pile of splinters and a stump.
• Luigi dropkicks tails so hard, his rings go flying. Doubles as a crowning moment of funny.
• Luigi eats a Mega Mushroom, and uses his newfound size to rip whole trees out of the ground and use them as weapons. A good chunk of the forest is destroyed in the collateral damage of his offensive efforts.
• Tails retaliates by boarding the Tornado, and pestering him with explosives.
• The finisher: Giant Luigi, Dazed by that last explosion sees the tornado flying towards him. He catches it in his hat... only to realize it's a fake covered in explosives.
• After the fight, Tails manages to shoot down Eggman's vehicle, causing him to fall out of the sky. Tails, alongside Knuckles, then proceeded to beat up Eggman offscreen.

Shantae vs. Filia

• At one point, Samson manages to drill through the ground and pop up below Shantae to attempt to eat her alive. She does break free, but still.
• Shantae begins dancing so that she can transform. Filia is hesitant to attack, so Samson, having none of it, yanks on Filia's shin, causing her to tumble forward, allowing Samson to charge forward as a dangerous hairball.
• Samson throws Shantae through a pillar and crashing into another one. Not giving her a moment to breathe, he starts hurling boulders at her, which she charges though as if they were tumbleweed.
• Near the end, both combatants are trading and parrying blow after blow. Amidst the fracas, Samson tears a pillar off for ammunition and Shantae summons a storm cloud to strike Filia with lightning. After all is said and done, a good chunk of the building they were in collapses, enough so to bury them both in rubble.

Mario vs. Sonic

• Mario begins by relentlessly beating down on Sonic, even launching a huge fireball after him after sending him flying across the corridor!
• After a few hits from Sonic, Mario manages to snatch him out of the air and pummel his face into the ground.
• Halfway through the fight, Sonic declares that he's done playing around. Sure enough, he begins zipping all around Mario at insane speeds, mercilessly destroying his old rival.
• Mario manages to intercept Sonic — who, remember, is dashing faster than the eye can see — and finish him with a Super Jump Punch powered by so much literal firepower, the blast extends to outside the castle!

Meta Knight vs. Shovel Knight

• After being horribly overnerfed and accordingly curbstomped then killed by Zero in his first One Minute Melee, it's awesome just seeing Meta Knight able to use his full range of abilities against Shovel Knight's various weapons and tricks for a badass and fast-paced duel of knights that's very close.
• Shovel Knight equipping the Dust Knuckles to punch Meta Knight through a stone wall — embedding him into it with the first few strikes, before smashing him right through. Then later on, we see him using one of Meta Knight's own tornadoes against his opponent by knocking him against it as part of a combo.
• Meta Knight pulling off several truly insane combos on the Blue Burrower using his speed advantage, airborne prowess and Dimensional Cape.
• The ending. After defeating Shovel Knight using the Galaxia Darkness, Meta Knight prepares a Sword Beam to finish him off with — which, as a heroic individual with a strong code of honour, seems very out of character for him. It's at this point the real Meta Knight teleports in to stop him, revealing the imposter to be Dark Meta Knight before dispatching his Evil Twin in the space of about three seconds to protect Shovel Knight.
• Despite losing the fight, Shovel Knight enduring all of Dark Meta Knight's punishing blows and simply continuing on his way like nothing happened after the fight is over is impressive toughness on his part.

Bill Cipher vs. Sans

• The simple fact that Sans, the most frail being in Undertale, takes a bitchslap from a cosmic anomaly directly to the face and survives. Even if he lost, he pressed the advantage for almost the whole fight.
• The Annoying Dog bringing the hat of discipline onto Bill, leaving no trace of him left... or, at least, within Undertale.
• For fans of Gravity Falls, the well-deserved beatdown that Sans gives Bill will be epic.
• Bill just stops playing around at the literal last second. With a simple Badass Fingersnap, he freezes time at 0:01 so he can slap Sans and nonchalantly wins the fight. He wasn't kidding when he said he was "exercising".

Gaara vs. Crocodile

• Gaara summons a tidal wave of sand in an attempt to smother his opponent. Crocodile just laughs and harmlessly passes through it.
• Halfway through the fight, Gaara is wounded so much so that he is covered in his own blood. And he still does his damn best to beat down his foe.
• Near the end, Gaara blitzes his foe with sand projectiles. Croc parries every single one of them.

Sephiroth vs. Vergil, Round 2

• Vergil backflips over an extremely wide sword beam, only for Sephiroth to Flash Step behind him, slice him up, and send him flying into a volcano miles away.
• How does Vergil react to Sephiroth summoning a big freaking meteor? Tell the One-Winged Angel "Don't get so cocky," activate the Devil Trigger, and slice the meteor to pieces within the span of a few seconds.
• After stabbing each other, forcing a draw, they collide into the volcano. It doesn't just erupt, the whole thing violently bursts into a column of magma.

Scott Pilgrim vs Viewtiful Joe

• Joe calls in the Six Machine to fire on Scott, but Scott leaps into the air, hijacks it, and fires a barrage of missiles that Joe narrowly avoids. Immediately after, Joe just makes the Six Machine self-destruct and gives Scott a mid-air walloping. However, Scott pays him back in kind after he catches him mid-Red Hot Kick and tosses him into the ground, laying down a beating that ends with an incredibly cool shot of Scott uppercutting Joe in the graphic novel's art style.
• After a few more seconds of intense combat, Joe takes the opportunity to end the fight by calling in a big freakin' laser cannon and firing away at Scott... who just slides under the beam and finishes the battle with a decisive uppercut.
• Scott gets extra kudos for beating down a more well-equipped enemy with superpowers and cool weapons with his bare hands. He did use Joe's own missiles against him, but other than that, he did a fantastic job with his fists and feet.

Goku vs Saitama

• Saitama's new assignment? Try to defeat Goku. Saitama's not impressed and just punches Goku across the city before introductions are over.
  Saitama: Well... guess I'm done here, right? ...Unless you have some sort of cliche "power up" up your sleeve.
  Cue Goku going Super Saiyan Blue
  Saitama: (sigh) Of course.
  Nobody Blink... — FIGHT!
• Goku gets plenty of good hits in, but Saitama at one point hits him hard enough to briefly knock him out of SSJB.
• Saitama sends Goku into the sky, catches up to him, and sends him back to Earth via the most bored looking karate chop.
• Goku counters Saitama's follow-up stomp with a kiai. Special note, Saitama is actually surprised by this.
• Goku puts all his power behind his next attack, the SSJB Kaio-ken Kamehameha. It fizzles out as Saitama reaches Goku by tanking the whole thing, leaving Goku with an epic Oh, Crap! face as Saitama clocks him right across the jaw just as the timer hits 0:00.
• Goku is down. Saitama walks away... cue Ultra Instinct mode, and Saitama's classic "OK" face with an added Aside Glance.
  Saitama: Neato. (serious face) Guess we're going again.
  Hold on to your seats... — LET'S ROCK!
• Ultra Instinct Goku uses the perfect strategy to counter Saitama: "He who cannot be hit cannot be beaten." His higher reflexes means the latter can't land any punches. After 20 seconds of this, you can tell Saitama's getting nettled.
• The fight goes up to space, and then Saitama adapts to UI!Goku, first by catching his leg and landing his first punch, then by making him overcommit and headbutting him, then ending the battle with a space diving serious punch.
• Goku deserves some credit here: he took a Serious Punch to beat and lived.
• Gohan appears to aid the unconscious Goku, and fires a Masenko at Saitama... which just bounces off of his bald head. Gohan is then scared off with a quick Death Glare.
• The episode ends with a very interesting preview for Season 6's premiere - Toph vs. Terra as a fully animated short!

Toph vs. Terra

• Well, the episode's here... and it did NOT disappoint! Shout-out to LK-sixtyfour, the animator, who animated the entire in a lovingly-rendered, extremely smooth, hand-drawn style.
• When Terra throws an especially big rock at her opponent, Toph punches it to bits.
• Terra manages to get up close to Toph, and inadvertently finds her weakness: close-quarter combat.
• After watching Terra unleash power that even she was shown to be afraid of, what does the Blind Bandit respond with? Bring it!
• After laying the smack down on Terra, Toph is holding a massive boulder over her head. She looks at it as if deciding what to do with it, then just casually tosses it to the side.

Bowser vs. King Dedede

• The fact that, in the course of this series, Bowser won three times and never lost to this point. First he dominated Dr. Eggman, then the nigh-unstoppable Mecha Sonic, and now fellow royal figure Dedede. Bowser already proved himself to be a strong fighter in the series, but at this point, nothing will ever ebb the Koopa King's power. He earned his title for a very good reason, and has let nothing bring his guard down. He truly is a survivor in the series and his winning streak was well-earned.
• When a Waddle Doo is found on the battlefield, Dedede inhales it; and shows that he can use Copy Abilities.
• The intro of the fight itself. After an interrupted tennis match, Bowser hears an explosion (from the events of Waddle Dee vs. Goomba) and decides to leave to check on Jr... Then Dedede decides to taunt Bowser; and that's when Bowser immediately turns around and punches the tennis ball at Dedede's gut, starting the battle.
• Bowser pins Dedede under him and blows a torrent of fire at his face. Dedede retaliated by swallowing the fire and using the ensuing rocket fart to power a super jump, taking them both to the air.
• Bowser gets swung around by Dedede's Beam-enhanced hammer - before he suddenly grabs the beam (while being electrocuted by said beam, no less), yanks Dedede towards him, and smacks Dedede across the battlefield with a mighty punch. Bowser then folds his arms, spits out a tooth and walks off, cementing his third victory.

Enderman vs Slenderman

• Slenderman's absolutley brutal beating of his Minecraft Expy really shows us how pissed off he is to have a competitor.
• Enderman rips out a chunk of the ground up to beat Slendy around with.
• Enderman proves himself to be especially tenacious when he charges right through a barrage of tentacle strikes in order to smash him against several trees with an elongated arm.
• And how does Slendy react? Grab Endy by the neck, before enveloping him in a cocoon of tentacles.
• Enderman gets free, however, and rushes the creepypasta in the battle's final moments. Slenderman intercepts, and delivers possibly one of the most painful-looking finishers the series has shown to date: launching him into the air, slicing him up as he recoils from the blast, dragging his face against the floor upon landing, before violently tearing out his limbs. No wonder they chose these guys for their Halloween special.
• An horde of angry endermen appear to avenge their fallen brethren. Slenderman simply takes a (presumably, due to the camera static) more horrifying form, before the footage fizzes out for good. Think about it: If he takes an army of endermen with gusto, this implies he was hardly trying as he was slaughtering the one.

Sousuke Aizen vs. Madara Uchiha

• The general fact of two of the most famous Invincible Villains in manga history are going head to head, with no weakening of their abilities.
• After Aizen draws upon more of the Hogyoku's power and assumes his cocoon form, he sends Madara flying with a single haymaker and slices countless trees in half with one stroke.
  • Soon after, Madara tries to trap him with a massive wood prison, and despite appearing to succeed, Aizen simply blows it all away in a massive burst of purple energy after Madara tries to close in with Susanoo's arms.
• Of course, the viewer can tell this fight is far from over because they've yet to scratch the surface of what these men can do, and you know what that means: a second round. Madara absorbs the Ten-Tails and Aizen absorbs more of the Hogyoku's power, promising a truly colossal bout.
  Aizen: In this form, I'm positive that if I strike you with Kyouka Suigetsu, even YOU will not be able to withstand its might.
  Madara: You had my interest, but now you have my full attention!
• After a lightspeed assault from Aizen, Madara drags his face across the ground and sends him flying into the sky on a massive wood pillar, right into a mountain-sized meteor.
  • But Aizen simply slices it into four pieces within a fraction of a second!
• It turns out Aizen's successfully cast an illusion on Madara and stabbed him through the back. Madara's response? Have his Limbo clone slug Aizen right in his smug face, back into Earth.
  • It's important to note that Aizen successfully played mind tricks on someone with the Mangyeko Sharingan, an infamously broken power that can normally shut down any illusion no matter how great or carefully constructed. Even Madara gives him props for this after the fight.
• Aizen brushes off Madara's clones with a half-hearted wave of his sword, which cuts a thousand-mile gash into the earth and traps the Limbo clones in Black Coffins before obliterating them.
  • This is especially impressive, as the Limbo clones are supposed to be absolutely undetectable to anyone who doesn't have the same power that Madara stole, and is one of Madara's laundry list of broken abilities. And Aizen crushes them like it's nothing.
• Towards the end, the two get into a classic high speed clash, Aizen's sword and Madara's staff clanging off of each other. After getting into a sword lock that goes for a second too long, Madara uses the Rinnegan to lock Aizen down so he can manifest a Truth-Seeking Ball and slam it into his back, blowing a hole in his chest and sending him flying across the forest into a giant tree.
• Unfortunately, the fight ends on a cliffhanger, and given that it promises a fight between Juubi Madara with his Perfect Susanoo/a multi-meteor Colony Drop and Aizen fully drawing on the power of the Hogyoku, it's going to be a long and hard wait.
