The expression “breaking the internet” became increasingly common among anime fans. While it’s generally used to refer to those impressive battles or unexpected plot twists that go viral on social media (even among those who aren’t fans of the medium), only some anime fights, such as Dragon Ball with Goku vs. Jiren or Demon Slayer with Rengoku vs. Akaza, have reached this level of impact in the past.
Luckily for fans, these don’t have to be the only ones. There are many ways anime fights can take the internet by storm, such as thousands of people around the world gathering to watch their premiere or the collapse of various streaming servers due to the sheer number of users trying to watch them.
Major anime franchises typically reach massive audiences, but these shōnen anime fights coming in the next months have the potential to reach people all over the world. Thanks to their narrative quality, impressive fight sequences, and the reception they received upon the manga’s release, the greatest upcoming anime fights will undoubtedly break viewership records and make their series the talk of the town for weeks.
The Devil Hunters Vs. The Darkness Devil (Chainsaw Man)
In Chainsaw Man‘s upcoming season, which will cover the International Assassins arc, viewers will be awestruck by the immense power of the Darkness Devil. This devil appeared in Chainsaw Man chapter 64, facing off against Denji and the other Public Safety Devil Hunters, along with Quanxi and her devils, who have been taken to Hell. But beyond its impressive display of action, what makes this confrontation with the Darkness Devil extraordinary is its boundless brutality.
Not only did the characters stand no chance against this primal fear, but the entire sequence of events is brimming with symbolism and brilliant scenes. With its haunting atmosphere, the imposing appearance of the Darkness Devil, and one of the most epic panels in the entire manga (which is sure to go viral once animated), Chainsaw Man will definitely spark conversation after this fight premieres.
Magna Swing vs. Dante Zogratis (Black Clover)
For anime-only fans, it might seem strange that a fight involving a supporting character (and one of the weakest members of the Black Bulls) is something to look forward to. However, Magna’s battle against one of the members of the Dark Triad is one of the most exceptional fights in all of Black Clover, and even in modern shōnen manga.
Although there are many hyped battles coming in the Spade Kingdom Raid arc, Magna vs. Dante is wonderfully narratively crafted and encompasses Black Clover‘s main message, far exceeding all fans’ expectations. Without focusing on power-ups or teamwork, which is common in Black Clover, the fight delivers high stakes, tension, pure raw power, and emotion, culminating in a simply perfect climax that will win over any anime fan.
Ichigo Kurosaki Vs. Yhwach (Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War)
The final season of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War will finally bring the long-awaited ultimate showdown between Ichigo Kurosaki and Yhwach. As the true nature of Yhwach’s Almighty is revealed, making him a practically invincible final boss, not only Ichigo but also characters like Aizen, Renji, and Uryu have a vital role in the battle.
In addition to featuring beloved Bleach characters, the battle is grim, with unexpected twists that keep fans on the edge of their seats. Furthermore, while the manga felt rushed, Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War has been adding original content, so it’s possible this will expand the final battle into a grand finale worthy of one of the shōnen Big Three.
Yuno Grinberryall vs. Zenon Zogratis (Black Clover)
)
Yuno has risen to become one of the strongest mages in Black Clover, but this is truly demonstrated in his fight against Zenon Zogratis in the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc. The battle is not only a clash of ideals between Yuno and Zenon, but it also showcases more of the capabilities of the vice-captain of the Golden Dawn squad, who, along with Langris, becomes a formidable force.
The stunning display of magic with Zenon’s bone magic and Beelzebub’s spatial magic makes for an intense battle, and Yuno’s sense of duty to avenge his squad pushes him to his limits in spectacular fashion. Furthermore, the fight includes a twist that will leave Black Clover fans completely stunned and give them plenty to talk about.
Sung Jinwoo Vs Thomas Andre (Solo Leveling)
Sung Jinwoo’s battle against the Ant King in Solo Leveling Season 2 broke streaming records, but it’s far from the best in the series. When his conflict with Hwang Dong-soo reaches its peak, Jinwoo fights against the American National Level Hunter, Thomas Andre. A fighter far superior to S-Rank Hunters, Thomas Andre is a tank with a powerful defense, and Jinwoo also simultaneously battles the Scavenger Guild Hunters with his shadow army.
What makes this fight unique is that, unlike other encounters where Jinwoo has always remained calm, he completely loses his temper against Thomas Andre, becoming more savage and ruthless. With a magnificent display of brute force capable of defeating a nation’s military might and numerous aura moments, the showdown between Jinwoo and Thomas Andre will surely take the world by storm.
Kinji Hakari Vs. Hajime Kashimo (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 hinted at the power of Hakari and Kashimo, but fans aren’t prepared for their showdown in Tokyo Colony No. 2 of the Culling Game. Hakari managed to redefine fans’ understanding of domain expansions, making them even crazier and more entertaining, with his Idle Death Gamble being one of the most anticipated things in the anime.
Jujutsu Kaisen: All of the Culling Game’s Players Ranked Weakest to Strongest
The Culling Game has some of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, and here’s where each player ranks in this brutal death battle.
Kashimo is also a true warrior, willing to face Hakari head-on, creating a thrilling hand-to-hand fight where the visceral power of each blow feels real. From Hakari’s madman energy to Kashimo’s unique skill, the fight never has a dull moment. And surely no anime fan will fail to be amazed by Hakari’s Private Pure Love Train.
Johnny and Gyro Vs. Funny Valentine (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run)
The true charm of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run lies in its fights, with the villain Funny Valentine delivering some of the best in Part 7. Justifying all his actions through patriotism, Valentine is a character with a complex morality, and his Stand, D4C (Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap), is extremely powerful, as it involves alternate realities.
Johnny’s Stand, Tusk, is no slouch either, using it to launch endless streams of spinning fingernail bullets, making the fight incredibly exciting as he waits for an opening. The characters are driven by their ideals, and none of them budge an inch, but the best thing about the fight is its originality, with the Saint’s Corpse conflict serving as a crazy twist that could trend globally.
Muichiro, Sanemi Gyomei and Genya Vs. Upper Rank One Kokushibo (Demon Slayer)
While Muzan is Demon Slayer‘s main villain, Kokushibo is a fan-favorite because of his immense strength, which led him to fight three pillars at the same time. In this fight, which will be adapted in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2, Sanemi, Tokito, Genya, and even the strongest pillar, Gyomei, battle five ways, trying not to be overwhelmed by Kokushibo’s terrifying swordsmanship.
From his weapon and his connection to important characters to the development of the Demon Slayers during the fight and the emotionally charged moments, the battle against Kokushibo is a standout experience. It could even become the best of the entire Demon Slayer film trilogy and continue the franchise’s upward climb.
Goku Vs. Moro (Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol)
With the confirmation of the adaptation of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, fans should brace for one of the most intense battles in Dragon Ball Super. Moro is a wizard who has reached a planetary power level, making him an incredibly difficult enemy for Goku to defeat, forcing him to use his new Ultra Instinct form and demonstrate all the training he has undergone to master the technique.
Considering the enormous impact that Dragon Ball Super‘s Tournament of Power had upon its release, and given that Moro is an enemy capable of draining his energy who pushes Goku to get stronger, this epic battle could become the next big sensation among anime fans.
Ryomen Sukuna Vs. Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen)
The battle that could once again become a global event, as it did during the manga’s run, is that of Satoru Gojo against the King of Curses, Sukuna. Gojo faced an empowered Sukuna using the Ten Shadow Technique, with Mahoraga and Agito on his side. Still, he demonstrated his full abilities with an even domain clash between his Unlimited Void and Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine.
The Culling Game arc in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 proved that the anime adaptation manages to elevate the fights to a higher level, as seen by Yuta’s battle in Sendai. This suggest that Gojo vs. Sukuna could definitely break the internet, exceeding fan expectations, and going down in anime history.
