Best Battles in the Anime

[Whiteknight]

Now that we've seen the majority of the battle between Naruto vs Pain (which I have been waiting for, for a long time), I think we can start asking the question: What is the best battle we've seen in the anime so far?

In my mind a "good" battle is one with lots of fun action and is exciting; not one with a lot of talking or one with no real excitement. There have been lots of battles so far, some big and some small. Here is my top 4 list (I'm not including movies):

1) Taka vs Killer Bee
2) The Valley of the End: Naruto vs Sasuke
3) Rock Lee vs Kimimaro
4) Rock Lee vs Gaara

What battles do other people like? What battles from the Manga are people looking forward to seeing in the Anime?

I loved the Chikushodo vs. Jiraiya battle, that one was exciting. It had an upsetting ending, but it taught us more about what Pain was capable of. Plus Chiku is my favorite character so I liked seeing him in action xD

I liked Sasuke vs. Itachi also, that one was very upsetting but engaging also.

I enjoyed the Final Valley one, and I liked Deidara vs. Sasuke also. There's not any battles from the manga I'm looking froward to in the anime.

My fav battle is the Naruto vs. Sasuke in the Valley of the End. They both fought very well there, but the thing I like most in that fight is, that they used more their rage and hate towards each other and towards the world to fight, rather than their skills.

I also enjoyed watching the one where Jiraya fought Pein. Sad ending tho. :|

There's not any battles from the manga I'm looking froward to in the anime.

Yeah, I sort of have the same opinion. After the big battle with Pain Naruto hasn't really gotten into any big battles. Taka did get into a pretty cool battle sequence with the Samurai in the Land of Iron, and then with all the Kages. That might be fun.

The battle with Sasuke and Danzo might be interesting, though that was a lot of talking too, and most of the battle was Sasuke trying to understand Danzo's weird Izanagi illusion, not actual fighting.

Kisame vs Killer Bee might be cool, depending on how it is done in the Anime.

The battle between Naruto and the Fox most recently in the Manga has potential too, though it's short and is interrupted by his discussion with his mother.

There are some interesting battles coming up in the Anime, but I don't think any of them are better than the ones we've seen so far.

Good Question! Well,so far, my favorites are...

1)Naruto vs Pein Epic!Epic!Epic!
2)Taka vs Killerbee (In fact, I watched it 4 times)
2)Deidara vs Sasuke :|

:\ i think Jiraiya vs Pain cause it had more than fighting, it was emotional, the mystery behind pain and overall better than the others

Lee vs. Kimmimaro

Lee vs. Raiga

Jiraiya vs. Pein (The only quite interesting and new-ish fight)

Naruto vs. Pein = Fail due to animation. 'Nuff said.
