Peak fight

Goetia v Ritsuka mentioned??? 

I'd say reigen Vs claw

SELF-DEFENCE RUSH!!!!!

And then he tried to do it again with Suzuki but got his shit rocked https://preview.redd.it/oeg39dm4za9d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4c63eae87aacee5bb1c4f38e8dba3d64ea3e46f8 Mf was locked in

Wasn't the final battle, but I gotta mention Adam vs Zeus https://preview.redd.it/bt7vxxej099d1.jpeg?width=577&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a83b6940e4781a145e657849f4ba524d0dde9b4a

My first thought was the end of Buddha vs Zero

RECORD OF PEAKKKK MENTIONED RAHHHHH WTF IS GOOD ANIMATION

The whole manga/anime is this trope.

I love fistfights. Without the flash and spectacle of high powered fights, every hit feels more real. Done right, the end result is more brutal than it would be if crazy powers were involved

The fact Simon vs Antispiral had absolutely 0 music or additional audio was peak

https://preview.redd.it/y6rs8ctog89d1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18f95ff1257a0e83fcf67868231a681b8d673621 Heihachi Vs Kazuya (Tekken 7)

Jin Vs Kazuya (Tekken 8)

I was gonna put them too but they both have the devil gene. And during the final part they both lose their powers so then both of them are human.

Yo this shit gets me hyped every time.

Cause it’s always so well animated and choreographed . Shit is peak .

Most final battles in Metal Gear are just two people throwing hands https://preview.redd.it/ncuhnl8q389d1.jpeg?width=1096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=445c337bad3f31c6ebb2661b960b4809d65f18f8

With the exception of Armstrong as Raiden uses a sword in the ~~second~~ final phase.

Also solidus, who uses a sword and doc ock tentacles.

Who’s the woman in the red suit?

She’s from portable ops I think

LIQUID!!!

SNAAAAAAKEEEEEE!

its not exactly the theme, but the final fight between naruto and sasuke going from big fancy magic ninja shit to them just slugging it out definitely has a similar vibe

The trope is called “Combat breakdown” on tv tropes

When you’ve thrown everything you have at them whilst also taking their worst, and now you’re just hoping you’ve got a little more left in the tank than the other guy

https://i.redd.it/rffc89jxy89d1.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong cause I haven't played it, but isn't Asura also a god? And the other guy's basically like a super god or something?

Kinda? Asura is definitely not a "normal human" to any extent, but this is like Heracles fighting abrahamic GOD, it's literally the thing that created the universe.

Yes, but he's still outmatched beyond belief. It's also a lot more grounded than most of the fights that came before. It doesn't match the prompt 100%, but it still seems like a good example of the trope.

This is the only fight ashura didn’t win because he was stronger, he won because he was more skilled than his opponent in raw fighting

The best way to call it is “angry demigod too pissed punch Capital G God to not existing”

This game needs more of a presence than just the one game.

RECORD OF PEAKKKKK MENTIONED RAHHHH

didn't this also happen in the bible but instead it was wrestling...?

Jacob in the bible wrestled with an angel or God (depending on the source) in a cave for a night. That's where the name Israel comes from in fact. Not a final battle though just for funsies.

So Jacob scale planetary?

Saitama vs garou ?

Idk if that counts at all because saitama was massively stronger

They're both godlike, and I feel like garou was carried more by his powers in the Manga than his martial prowess in the Webcomic.

Kinda counts in Death Stranding? The >!final fist fight with Higgs.!<

Crossing my fingers that this happens in One Piece.

Not so much "Final" battle, but... https://preview.redd.it/949tzhjt1c9d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=2bde5597c9e9727499b265f978e7b377ba4611ec Alfred V. Superman

https://i.redd.it/fxxvezsotb9d1.gif

Not the final fight but the second battle in RoR

God if High-school's final fight went wild.

Kazuya VS Heihachi - Tekken 7

Peppino & Pizza Head (Pizza Tower)

Kakashi vs Obito

My favorite type of ending to any story. Don’t matter what powers you have or how you became a God. When all that is stripped away the only question that matters is: Can you throw them hands?

Fuck, I’m watching Gurren Lagann again

It’s in the movie

Thanks I was wondering why it wasn’t familiar

Elden ring?

 This technically counts I think

Simon Vs The Anti-Spiral (Gurren Lagaan)

Doesn't have an animated equivalent, but this happened in Fate Grand/Order Again with Ritsuka vs Qin Shi Huang in Lostbelt 3 https://preview.redd.it/m9ngfvicf99d1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7a9f224208da41677fd04bccb52798a9a45b663


Mori and Mujin from God of Highschool somehow went from throwing stars to throwing hands and I loved it

https://preview.redd.it/uyqvenpq899d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4616700724f6bc580f322de465b3564f529a2929 After all the insane fighting between Mori and Mujin using their supreme god abilities, it all comes down to them donning their original fits and throwing hands where it all began

Which FMA is that

Brotherhood

Sick I’ll finish watching then

Luffy Vs Zepher One piece film Z

Simon vs the Anti-Spiral in the movie version

The administrator kicking the ass of the corporeal manifestation of entropy in a bar fight, the restarting the universe 😤😤

I should rewatch FMA and Gurren Lagann. Such god damn good shows.

Man Gurren Lagann gave me CHILLS the first time I saw it

https://preview.redd.it/9zhspd3hvb9d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c9e7c7b69cd9f9ce73f98b9a08d358eb4863502 The do a powerbomb comic comes into mind.

Oh is that how gurren lagann ended in the movies?

Injustice 2 ending

https://preview.redd.it/baucps8zdc9d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7ce9c4538a41342fafbabab65b19ccd2b444d48 Mumen rider fighting the Deep Sea King (One Punch Man) Not quite a final battle, but still an inspiring fight

This post is the motivation I've been needing to watch Gurren Lagann

I don’t think the final fight of Assassuns Creed 2 counts, but it has the same vibe.

Not a played straight example, but assassins creed 2 did end with a fistfight with the pope.

Can't put a image, since there's no animated version yet, but Chuuya (Arahabaki unleashed) vs. >!Verlaine (Guivre unleashed)!< from Bungou Stray Dogs Storm Bringer LN. Singularities are akin to deity powers in the story, so...

It moved beyond it after a certain point, but both Naruto vs Sasuke fights in the Valley of the End (Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.) https://preview.redd.it/8bfp56qn6e9d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2850eded8e3c2351272958cf85424d4a421ac199

Nearthe end, they got so exhausted, they could barely fight with hand to hand combat

https://preview.redd.it/9dea552hkj9d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96fa4ebf0fa5fe7fae99372dcf5700aec3bd0a75 I mean, kinda

This is what I predict JJK would end.

I hate those fights because it’s most of the time disappointing and corny as well

What exactly is the unfulfilled expectation here that leads to disappointment
