* The crew spared no expense for the season 10 finale, which sees the #1 requested matchup of Galactus vs. Unicron rendered in a ''spectacular'' fashion. Not ''once'' do any of the giants of evil feel inappropriately small, and the sense of scale and power between the combatants is carried just as well as in the Monsterverse film series. Add in some of the most elaborately detailed computer graphics the series has ever used and you get a fight that truly lives up to the hype of the demand.

* Rick Sanchez vs The Doctor is for the most part, fairly well animated, with a similar blend of 2D and 3D to Scooby vs Courage. However, when The Doctor gets shot and is forced to regenerate, that already solid animation is cranked to an even higher level, culminating in one of the most gorgeous effects displays of the season as The Doctor starts spewing out light.

* Scooby vs Courage takes the 2D canines in a 3D render of a haunted house with fluid animation from the claymation monster, the MediumShiftGag of the doors Courage opens, to the impeccable sight of Planet-Size Scooby trying to punch Courage.

* Gojo VS Makima mixes togheter the usual pixelated artstyle with various impeccably hand-drawn scenes, especially concerning the characters close-up expressions (fitting for this anime-themed fight), and the 3D mall being greatly rendered as well.

* Excalibur vs. Raiden is a spectacular 3D fight animated by WebVideo/DevilArtemis himself, packing some incredibly fast-paced ninja like action and choreography that would fit perfectly in both ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''.

* Frieza VS Megatron, being WebVideo/DevilArtemis' first Death Battle animation using Blender, proves to be one of the best 3D animated ''Dragon Ball'' fights, perfectly capturing the incredibly fast paced, super hard-hitting action the series is known for while also capturing the sheer power of ''Transformers''. There's also the sheer beauty that is Golden Frieza's transformation as well as the effects of Megatron's antimatter, and the explosive effects throughout the fight are quite a spectacle, fitting for a fight with a being who can nuke a planet by accident.

* After Harley gasses Jinx, the scene suddenly becomes something that looks exactly like some of Jinx's fantasies in ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'' or like some scenes from ''Film/SuicideSquad'', blending the hand drawn elements with the 3D models masterfully.

Small correction: Devil Artemis has uploaded Blender animations on his channel before working on Frieza VS Megatron.

* Being one of the winners of the Champions' ballot, Cole [=MacGrath=] VS Alex Mercer couldn't ''not'' have excellent animation. Alex's transformations, tendril attacks, and consumption of his victims are fittingly grotesque and brutal, while every single one of Cole's attacks looks and feels like a full-force lightning strike. Special mention to Cole's ShutUpHannibal moment, where his HeroicSecondWind is perfectly timed to a violin riff and the song's vocals kicking into full gear before he blasts Alex away with lightning called down from the sky.

* Being one of the winners of the Champions' ballot, Cole [=MacGrath=] VS Alex Mercer couldn't ''not'' have excellent animation. Both put the parkour elements their games shared on full display, jumping between buildings and vehicles like the city setting is one massive playground. Alex's transformations, tendril attacks, and consumption of his victims are fittingly grotesque and brutal, while every single one of Cole's attacks looks and feels like a full-force lightning strike. Special mention to Cole's ShutUpHannibal moment, where his HeroicSecondWind is perfectly timed to a violin riff and the song's vocals kicking into full gear before he blasts Alex away with lightning called down from the sky.

* Bill Cipher VS Discord in its entirety is one of these, effectively being a love letter to animation itself. Ranging from the extremely well-detailed 3D render of Ponyville the fight takes place in, to the special effects of Bill and Discord's absurd powers and the sprites of the fighters themselves, with some shots capturing them in lovingly hand-drawn shots that genuinely look like they belong in their own shows (Especially with Bill's various forms), and that's not to mention the ArtShift going to claymation, 1930s inkblot cartoon (Even featuring Cuphead and Bendy whose DBX emulated a similar style), and even ''hand puppets'', all in quick succession.

* Martian Manhunter vs Silver Surfer starts off in a FilmNoir before it shows a title-screen akin to a old Sci-fi film. It also has a hand-drawn moment where Martian Manhunter turns into a fire-breathing dragon.

!!Season 10
* Considering Raven's last stint on the show had her Soul-Self provide a spectacle for her brawl with Twilight Sparkle, Phoenix VS Raven manages to one-up this by showing off both the Phoenix Force and Raven's Soul-Self, both rendered with beautiful hand-drawn and special effects well beyond the battle from the show's halfway point to the tenth season.

* the animation for Deadpool vs Mask is nothing short of beautifully fluid and absolutely ''gorgeous'' to look at, looking like something that could pass for an Creator/AdultSwim show. The [[ArtShift Art Shifts]] to storyboard panels and live-action cosplay most definitely allowed the crew to pour more money into the main animation, and it shows.

* Wiz and Boomstick's animation has definitely improved since its debut in Season 5. Despite aspects like Wiz's hair being simplified in later seasons, the animation itself now relies much less on tweening, and simple actions like Boomstick [[https://youtu.be/WVq2zIbEMfk?t=1037 shaking his head]] or [[https://youtu.be/hOot-I1KtLs?t=947 playing the air-drums]] are smoothly animated with lots of personality.

* Jason vs Michael perfectly matches the creepy theme of the series that the two fighters hail from, and the models are fluid enough that one could mistake the fight for live-action.
