Anime is one of the most popular artistic mediums in the world, and with each passing year, it is introduced to hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of new fans. Franchises like Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Pokémon have become synonymous with animation over the past few decades and played a large role in establishing the medium as a legitimate art form.Because so many anime series focus on combat or, at the very least, violence, there are dozens of iconic anime fights throughout the medium’s history. Even though some classic shows may not benefit from the impressive visuals of modern animation, they’ve still produced fights that are as good as any in anime history.While Tomorrow’s Joe may lack the flashy animation that appears throughout the modern sports genre, its gritty tone and mature themes more than make up for it, and nowhere are they more present than Joe Yabuki’s rematch with Toru Rikiishi. The pair of boxers formed a rivalry while they were still teenagers in the same juvenile detention center, so when they meet again, it’s a seminal moment for both characters. Unfortunately, Rikiishi lost an excessive amount of weight to fight in Joe’s weight class, and as a result, he dies after winning the bout, showcasing the extreme lows and highs of the sport.
