The mother of all battle scenes!

[B Gundam]

A battle scene from 1979, even Final Fantasy pays a tribute to this fight (these screenshots are by far not all)!

Top Row: Mobile Suit Gundam (this is the Original Scene), performed by Gaia, Ortega and Mash
2nd Row: Hayate no Gotoku/Combat Butler Hayate
3rd Row: Yakitate!! Japan
4th Row: Digimon
5th Row: PRISM ARK

Once upon a time (in Universal Century 0079), a gundam pilot named Amuro Ray picked a fight against a trio of villains who performed a team attack on him. He emerged victorious and ever since, this battle lives on in the hearts of creators of Anime...

Lol awesome comparison.

I remember watching that Digimon episode, you wouldn't know how much I laughed at it. :D

But you're also forgetting about 3D Gundam, the live action one. That's also got the exact same scenes.

Wait, what are we supposed to do here? Don't get it.

[Lune Cy]

the digimon battle ^^...dont know the others ^^

[shirogane_hitsugaya]

i don't get it.....yakitate!! japan is not 'that type' of 'battle' scenes......it's just ordinary bread making competition to me.....

a real battle scene is battle royale for me......and basilisk.....mar....naruto....shaman king.....etc....

and digimon battle scenes doesn't much impress me....:p sorry...don't hammer me...

[B Gundam]

Shaman King also has Gundam in it btw, and so does Final Fantasy.

Its also not about how awesome the battle is, but how often the tri-stars get referred to, the image is only a part of the whole.

My response to this thread was to give myself a small fond smile, and a very poor bit of engrish.... "Jettu stuream attacku!"

[Asriel]

LOL.
This is true and I never really noticed how Shaman King had a little bit of Gundam in it.

Gundam is awesome, just how much it gets referred to in other Anime and Manga series would be good task to find out.

However, I just can't seem to be able to find and watch the Yakitate!! Japan version of the Jet Stream Attack... but here's the SD Jet Stream Attack.. The voice acting is a bit off but still...

And unfortunately.... Gundam SEED Destiny has a stab with the Jet Stream Attack, replacing their pilots with more pretty faced pilots.. And unfortunately shields just don't work on the Dom.. Unless it's the knuckle buster shield..

Compare the two, and it's obvious which one is better...
