Transcript

00:00 (dramatic music)

00:02 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down

00:11 our picks for the most brutal beatings

00:14 delivered to an anime character in the 2020s.

00:18 So far at least.

00:19 (grunting)

00:29 Number 10, Sanji vs. Queen, One Piece.

00:33 Although Sanji's entire fight with King the Plague

00:36 is fantastic, the finale is what we'll be discussing.

00:41 - Sparking Queen!

00:42 - Given his chivalrous nature, Sanji is infuriated

00:51 that Queen attacks a female bystander.

00:54 His rage, along with his newly awakened

00:56 physical enhancements, allows his fiery Diabla Jamba

01:00 ability to go even hotter, turning his leg blue.

01:03 Using the newly minted Ifrit Jamba,

01:14 Sanji kicks the Beast Pirates all-star repeatedly

01:17 in a stunning animated sequence that sends Queen flying.

01:22 (explosion)

01:24 It's not every day you see a pirate chef

01:41 with his leg on fire pummel a cyborg dinosaur.

01:46 Number nine, Jolene Ora Ora's Langrangler.

01:50 JoJo's bizarre adventure.

01:52 Jolene Cujo delivers plenty of punch barrages

01:55 during her time as the resident JoJo.

01:58 She is her father's daughter after all,

02:01 but our pick goes to her finishing blow to Langrangler.

02:05 In addition to being a contender for having

02:13 the most impractical outfit in JoJo,

02:16 which is really saying something,

02:20 Langrangler has a stand jump and jack flash

02:23 that proves tricky to deal with.

02:25 Basically, it can remove gravity.

02:28 However, after reinstating its effects,

02:37 Langrangler gets pushed towards her,

02:39 allowing Jolene to honor her Joestar heritage

02:42 by Ora Ora-ing him.

02:44 A flurry of blows send Langrangler into the laundry

02:47 like the jeans his name sounds like.

02:50 Number eight, Geld Rex Shogo.

03:00 That time I got reincarnated as a slime.

03:04 Shogo was reincarnated as a cocky bully,

03:08 though he was probably one to begin with.

03:10 When everyone's favorite orc, Geld,

03:12 proves too much for him, Shogo even kills

03:15 and takes the power of his comrade, Kirara.

03:18 His newly acquired skill gives him incredible regeneration.

03:26 Geld decides to put it to the test

03:28 and proceeds to beat Shogo into the ground

03:30 while using his corrosive skill to eat away at Shogo's body

03:34 as fast as he can regenerate,

03:36 keeping him constantly in pain.

03:38 Far from making him invincible,

03:45 Shogo's new power only lets him survive

03:48 to take more punishment from Geld.

03:50 Beware the gentle giants.

03:52 Number seven, Mikey Destroys Kazutora, Tokyo Revengers.

04:03 The confrontation between the Tokyo Manji

04:06 and Valhalla gangs leads to plenty of fights,

04:10 but few are as one-sided or brutal as this one.

04:14 (gunshot)

04:17 Kazutora insists that either he or Mikey has to die,

04:22 and Mikey insists it to be Kazutora with his fists.

04:26 Feelings have run high between both of them,

04:28 with the death of Keisuke and Mikey's brother, Shinichiro,

04:31 hanging over the fight.

04:33 We say "fights," but it's really just Mikey

04:36 doing his best to beat Kazutora to death.

04:39 (gunshots)

04:42 Honestly, we have to give Kazutora props

04:46 for surviving long enough for Takamichi to break it up.

04:50 Few can take Mikey's punches and get up afterwards.

04:53 Number six, Orange Piccolo Vs. Gamma 2,

05:00 Dragon Ball Super Super Hero.

05:02 Poor Piccolo.

05:04 The Namekians' power-ups just don't get

05:06 the same recognition as the Saiyans do.

05:09 It's probably the lack of hair.

05:11 But during his battle with the misguided

05:13 android superhero, Gamma 2,

05:16 Big Green finally gets his due by going Big Orange.

05:21 (roaring)

05:23 Piccolo's sweet new transformation turns plenty of heads,

05:31 and when Gamma 2 tries to initiate a beatdown of his own

05:35 on the newly awakened Piccolo,

05:37 the Namekians simply decks Number 2

05:39 into the ground with one punch.

05:42 (roaring)

05:44 In fairness to Gamma 2, though, he's new.

05:49 He doesn't know it's a bad idea

05:51 to attack a Dragon Ball character

05:53 right after a new transformation.

05:56 Number five, Mash vs. Carpaccio,

05:59 Mash'el, Magic and Muscles.

06:02 In Mash Burn Dead's many battles against magicians,

06:05 the blank-faced protagonist delivers plenty of beatdowns.

06:09 But one of the strangest happens when he steps in

06:12 to save his buddy, Finn, from Carpaccio.

06:15 (roaring)

06:17 The unfeeling mage can redirect pain from himself

06:21 onto his opponents, thanks to a goddess statue

06:23 that appears behind him.

06:25 While his self-inflicted stab wounds

06:27 put Mash on the back foot at first,

06:30 Mash eventually decides to just punch Carpaccio a bunch,

06:33 enduring the blows thanks to his ridiculously muscular body.

06:37 (roaring)

06:40 As if that wasn't absurd enough,

06:48 Mash then bends his wand into a tennis racket

06:51 and serves projectiles at the statue until it shatters.

06:55 Tennis is called the sport of kings,

07:03 and this is a royal beatdown.

07:06 Number four, 100 Punches, Vinland Saga.

07:10 Usually, when someone is beaten bloody, they're the loser,

07:14 but not Torfinn.

07:15 To protect the farm where he's made friends,

07:17 Torfinn wishes to meet with Knut.

07:20 To bargain for a chance to meet the king,

07:22 Torfinn bets that he can withstand 100 punches from Drott.

07:27 (roaring)

07:30 The once violent and now pacifistic young man

07:33 is used to getting hit, and so, despite being pummeled

07:37 and his face swelling up like a balloon,

07:40 he's able to withstand the blows.

07:42 By the end of it, it's Drott who's out of breath.

07:45 Torfinn has no enemies, because literally everyone

07:52 is impressed by what a boss he is.

07:59 Number three, Kenji Cuts Loose, Bungo Stray Dogs.

08:03 He may look like an innocent farm boy,

08:05 but Kenji is phenomenally strong.

08:08 That said, Tetsuo, the hunting dog,

08:10 initially appears to be more than a match for Kenji.

08:14 However, when Kenji learns that Tetsuo's comrade, Teruko,

08:18 intends to capture and torture his friend,

08:21 well, let's just say you wouldn't like Kenji

08:23 when he's angry.

08:25 (yelling)

08:27 With no restraint on his strength,

08:31 and bearing a berserk, terrifying face,

08:34 Kenji sends Tetsuo flying.

08:37 Tetsuo's punches do basically nothing now,

08:46 and he ends up stuck in concrete

08:48 with Kenji poised to kill him.

08:53 Kenji may come to his senses,

08:55 but it's a brutal beating while it lasts.

08:58 Number two, Daddy Nanami, Jujutsu Kaisen.

09:02 Haruto Shigemou is one of the most despicable

09:05 minor antagonists in this show.

09:07 A sadistic killer, he preys on the weak and vulnerable.

09:11 And just when it seems like Nobara and Akari

09:14 are about to become his victims, Daddy Nanami arrives.

09:19 (dramatic music)

09:21 Already furious at seeing what Shigemou did to Ichichi,

09:27 Nanami wastes no time in punching them

09:30 and demanding information.

09:31 Shigemou takes multiple fatal blows,

09:34 and only survives thanks to his technique,

09:36 which evades those.

09:38 While it's not the biggest or bloodiest beating

09:46 in Jujutsu Kaisen, it's one of the most satisfying,

09:49 in more ways than one for some people.

10:13 Number one, Baki embarrasses Mohamed Alai Jr.

10:17 Baki.

10:18 Ever since his debut, Mohamed Alai Jr.

10:21 seems destined to clash with Baki.

10:24 He makes moves on Baki's girlfriend

10:26 and picks fights with half of Baki's friends.

10:29 Granted, he gets wrecked by all of them.

10:32 But after building himself back up

10:39 and reaching peak form again,

10:41 Jr. faces Baki in the underground arena.

10:44 It doesn't go well.

10:46 Baki knocks him down in one hit to the jaw.

10:54 Then after Jr. gets up,

10:56 he receives a kick between the legs and gets choked out.

11:00 If the greatest himself hadn't stepped in,

11:07 his bloodline would have ended right there.

11:09 Baki leaves Alai Jr. a weeping, broken mess after the fight.

11:14 Yujiro must be so proud of his boy.

11:17 Is there a punishing pummeling that we forgot about?
