00:02 Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most epic scenes
00:19 committed by an anime character across the medium
00:22 [Japanese]
00:24 Number 10 Kenpachi F in Zaraki
00:36 Bleach the Thousand-Year Blood War
00:38 Just when you thought it was impossible for Kenpachi to get any cooler along comes his most bombastic and thrilling battle to date
00:50 Facing off against a Quincy who can turn fantasy into reality with a mere thought
00:55 The average Shinigami would be easily destroyed by the likes of Grammy
00:59 But not our boy
01:14 Whether it's steel a meteor or even the vacuum of space the captain of the 11th division
01:20 Just keeps cutting through it like a champ. How? Because he's Kenpachi. That's how
01:25 Number 9 Satoru Gojo the enlightened one
01:35 Jujutsu Kaisen because obviously Gojo didn't have nearly enough fangirl appeal beforehand
01:42 [Japanese]
01:44 After being initially overwhelmed by the muscle-bound assailant Toji
01:51 Gojo makes his grand return from the edge of death loving life and ready for revenge
02:07 Now in full control of his limitless ability Gojo truly comes into his own
02:12 Able to outmaneuver and outperform anything Megumi's daddy throws his way
02:17 [Japanese]
02:20 All of this caps off by him unveiling the might of his pitbull technique
02:25 Needless to say Toji won't be attending any graduations
02:29 [Japanese]
02:31 [Explosion]
02:33 Number 8 Naruto arrives
02:41 Naruto Shippuden better late than never right in the wake of pain's attack on the hidden leaf village
02:48 Everything is at its lowest point and all Sakura can do is plead for the help of a certain blonde ninja
02:55 [Japanese]
02:57 [Japanese]
03:00 Who promptly answers with one hell of an entrance in sage mode on top of a giant frog who's on top of another giant frog
03:08 Surrounded by two other giant frogs ready to take the fight to the six paths of pain
03:15 It should be ridiculous and yet Naruto makes it effortlessly effective
03:24 Instantly becoming the ray of hope to the village that long despised him
03:29 [Japanese]
03:31 Number 7 Dark Hero Deku My Hero Academia
03:35 We all know that Izuku is a cinnamon roll deep down, but we've got to admit his Batman phase is all kinds of epic
03:43 [Japanese]
03:46 [Japanese]
03:48 [Japanese]
03:50 In a rematch against Muscular Deku displays just how much stronger he's become since furthering his control over one for all
03:57 [Japanese]
03:59 Not only is he able to switch between quirks on a whim
04:04 But his punching power is obscene with nothing but will, grit and some cold
04:10 Calculations Deku demonstrates what happens when the sunshine boy dabbles in the darkness of being an antihero
04:17 [Japanese]
04:19 [Japanese]
04:21 [Japanese]
04:23 [Japanese]
04:25 [Japanese]
04:27 [Japanese]
04:29 [Japanese]
04:31 Number 6 who decided that?
04:33 The seven deadly sins you think such a puny thing like excessive hemorrhaging and impossible odds
04:40 Would be enough to best someone like Escanor
04:43 [Japanese]
04:45 [Japanese]
04:47 [Japanese]
04:48 As arrogant as he is strong Escanor displayed why he stands above all during his clash with the Ten Commandments
04:55 [Japanese]
04:57 [Japanese]
04:59 [Japanese]
05:01 Even after being cut up and having his own attacks thrown back at him by
05:07 Estorosa the lion sin of pride pushes past it all with a single declaration
05:12 [Japanese]
05:14 [Japanese]
05:16 [Japanese]
05:18 The man's belief in himself is so infallible that he was able to come back from the brink and one-shot his foe like it was nothing
05:26 [Japanese]
05:28 [Japanese]
05:30 [Japanese]
05:32 [Japanese]
05:34 [Japanese]
05:36 The confidence this man exudes is truly next-level
05:40 Number 5 Eren crashes the party
05:44 Attack on Titan
05:46 Nothing says boss energy quite like interrupting an enemy nation's declaration of war
05:51 Just to drop your own in the most heinous of fashions
05:54 [Japanese]
05:56 [Japanese]
05:58 [Japanese]
05:59 After committing to his ideal of destroying his enemies across the sea no matter the consequences
06:04 Eren transforms before the eyes of the world only to decimate Marley's armies and wipe out their beloved leader in an instant
06:13 [Growling]
06:15 [Growling]
06:16 Not only does it demonstrate Eren's willingness to cross any and all lines
06:21 But it shows just how terrifying the attack Titan can be when he goes on a rampage
06:26 [Explosion]
06:31 Number 4 Rath's return Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
06:35 Given his long list of atrocities we're not exactly inclined to root for King Bradley as he makes his return to the battlefield
06:43 But damn if his counter-attack isn't one of the slickest sprees of destruction we've seen
06:48 [Japanese]
06:54 Whether they be soldiers or even a tank nothing can hold back the might of Rath's sword
06:59 As he slices through every line of resistance quite literally in most cases
07:04 [Music]
07:09 In a single move the homunculus was able to turn the tide of battle back in his favor
07:14 And all he had to do was show up
07:17 [Music]
07:23 [Japanese]
07:26 Number 3 Ultra Instinct Dragon Ball Super
07:30 Not since the time Goku first went gold has a Dragon Ball transformation left audiences in complete awe
07:37 But damn if Ultra Instinct didn't deliver
07:40 [Music]
07:48 As the tournament of power comes to a close Goku finally manages to ascend to a stronger state of being
07:54 One complete with a new silver hairstyle and enough force to knock the bricks out of the seemingly invulnerable Jiren
08:01 [Music]
08:11 While brief the sight of Goku unleashing hell on his foe is quintessential Dragon Ball
08:16 Capturing the classic series spirit through a modern lens
08:20 [Music]
08:30 Number 2 Zoro Takes Luffy's Pain One Piece
08:34 The strength of the Straw Hats resident swordsman has never come into question
08:39 But with this single act he proved without a doubt that the only thing greater than his sword arm was his loyalty to his captain
08:46 [Japanese]
08:51 After pleading to exchange Luffy's life for his own the warlord Kuma offers a lethal compromise
08:57 He will spare the rest of the crew if Zoro can withstand all the accumulated fatigue and pain Luffy had during the course of the battle
09:06 In short a guaranteed death sentence
09:09 [Japanese]
09:11 [Music]
09:22 And what does he do? Withstands it and brushes it off like it never happened
09:27 Big sadness right there
09:29 [Japanese]

10:00 Number 1 Kitan's Death
10:03 Gurren Lagann
10:04 Noble sacrifices are abundant in anime but when it comes to a flashy exit
10:09 Team Daigurren's most daring member has everyone beat
10:13 Trapped inside of the anti-spirals black hole machine
10:17 The human resistance is within a hair's breadth of being crushed
10:21 So what does Kitan do?
10:23 [Japanese]
10:26 Gives up a future with his comrades and the woman he loves and launches one hell of a kamikaze mission to destroy the machine holding them captive
10:35 [Japanese]
10:39 Imbued by unparalleled machismo and spiral power, Kitan proved he was so much more than just a side character
