00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the craziest moments a
00:08death made an anime hero pop off.
00:30While he'd probably never admit it Kazuma was only the muscle of that operation, Kimishima
00:38was the brains.
00:40So it makes sense why when an operation goes south and Kimishima draws his last breath,
00:45Kazuma completely loses his head.
00:47While his work as an alter was far from a bloodless affair, seeing him swear vengeance
00:52and ruthlessly attack holy camps is just something else.
01:06It's hard not to feel for him though, Kimishima lived just long enough to say goodbye, milking
01:11the gravitas of the moment to its limits.
01:14After a farewell like that, Kazuma's uncontrollable rage seems pretty justified.
01:29Number 9 A Father's Death is a Son's Duty Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
01:34In a cruel twist of fate, it's the pacifist Zaid Winner who ends up on the wrong side
01:50of a deadly blast.
01:52Then in stark contrast to his father's ideals, Katra gets in his own mech to swear vengeance.
02:02As tragic as it is to see Zaid's dream dashed in yet another cycle of violence, there is
02:08some vindication in seeing Katra completely cut loose on an enemy fleet.
02:12There may have been a rift between him and his father, but clearly Katra had a lot of
02:16pent-up grief to work through.
02:18And what better way is there than letting blasters do the talking?
02:25Number 8 Euphemia's Last Breath
02:31Code Geass, Lelouch of the Rebellion
02:34Normally, Suzaku is the calm voice of reason amidst the ever-grown conflict with Britannia.
02:47But then he walked in on rebel leader Zero shooting the love of his life Euphemia.
02:53That's enough to make anyone question their morals, and Suzaku is no different.
03:04His intense grief gives him a new resolve in life – kill Zero, or die trying.
03:09It's a shocking declaration coming from Suzaku, but since he's saying it through a sheet of
03:14tears over the corpse of his beloved, it's clear he's firm in his conviction.
03:19So firm in thanks that we were actually a little scared for Zero after this.
03:24But now, it's hatred that's guiding me, I'm fighting to kill someone.
03:32Number 7 Honorable Discharge, Hellsing Ultimate
03:42Here's some advice, don't piss off a vampire, especially don't murder one of their closest
03:48allies and then call the corpse a gnat.
03:51After all that, Zorin was pretty much asking for it.
03:54Lieutenant Pip may have fallen in the line of duty, but he got one last cigarette and
03:59even asked Ceres to take his blood.
04:02She was happy to oblige his last request, and it gave her all the power she needed to
04:12go on a red-stained, maniacal murder spree through Zorin's forces.
04:17We'd call it terrifying if it didn't taste so sweet.
04:20Fueled by grief, vengeance, and her friend's blood, Sarah's honored Lieutenant Pip's sacrifice.
04:27Number 6 Cursing the Curses, Jujutsu Kaisen
04:35There's always been evil inside of Yuji Itadori, literally if you count Sukuna.
04:54That didn't stop Mahito from killing the innocent Junpei right in front of him though.
04:58The pain hits Yuji fast and hard, leaving him with a single sobering thought, getting even with Mahito.
05:05The fight that follows is almost excessively brutal, with more headshots and blood spurts than we can count.
05:20You can't even blame it on Sukuna either.
05:22He refuses to help, meaning this burst of extreme violence is all Yuji's doing.
05:27We can't say it wasn't deceived, but still, seeing Yuji's snap is far from a pleasant sight.
05:33Number 5 A Super Transformation
05:40Dragon Ball Z
05:42Ah, your energy is beginning to swell.
05:46That's good.
05:47Now take your anger and feed off of it.
05:50Cell really stepped in it this time, it being Android 16's head.
05:55The cyborg spent his last words telling Gohan to unleash the power within him, and Cell's death blow proved to be the exact catalyst the Saiyan needed.
06:04Gohan's power-up roar is as blood-curdling as it is iconic.
06:21With tears still streaming down his face, he leveled the playing field in a fit of rageful power the likes of which we'd never seen before.
06:29The Cell Juniors didn't even have time to panic before they were all reduced to, well, cells.
06:35It's not a very healthy form of anger management, but it sure looks cool.
06:52Number 4 Danepore Goes Down
06:54The Seven Deadly Sins
06:56Find yourself someone who loves you as much as Meliodas loves Liz.
07:09Even though he's cursed to watch her reincarnations die, he still refuses to accept a world without her.
07:15So much so that, anytime he sees Liz's lineage pass, he goes absolutely ballistic on whatever's around him, even if it's the entire kingdom of Danepore.
07:28We've always known Meliodas was powerful, but seeing the happy-go-lucky warrior level an entire city just like that really puts his strength into perspective, and his despair for that matter.
07:47Next time Liz is destined to die, we suggest anyone who values their life stay very, very far away.
07:54Number 3 Berserk no Jutsu
08:07Naruto Shippuden
08:20Having a front row seat to the murder of your childhood crush is devastating in a way words cannot comprehend.
08:26Having a front row seat to your childhood best friend murdering your crush is so far beyond awful, we can't even begin to understand how Obito must have felt.
08:35Luckily, actions speak louder than words, and he paints quite a picture using the blood of the mist ninja.
08:52At a certain point, it doesn't even feel like you're watching a fight at all, it's just a full-blown massacre.
08:58Even amongst all the carnage though, you can't help but see this all as one big cry for help.
09:13Number 2 Eclipsing it all Berserk
09:23Gutsu
09:28During the eclipse, the apostles emerged and desecrated every single member of the Band of the Hawk.
09:33Well, except for Casca, who suffered an even worse fate.
09:36To top it all off, the ambush was orchestrated by none other than Gutsu's best friend, the person he sacrificed everything to save, Griffith.
09:45So, it's no surprise to see Guts lose himself here.
10:02He's lost everything else, why not his morals too?
10:05He's determined to save his comrades, or at the very least, avenge their brutal passing.
10:10Guts definitely gives it his all here, if only it meant anything.

10:36This is not Gon anymore.
10:52Learning what Pito did to Kite cornered him in rage so all-consuming, he used Nen to age his body decades forward.
10:59But we don't just mean Gon's physically changed.
11:02No, it's mainly that this Hawking Brute is so far removed from the optimistic wannabe hunter that he may as well be a new character.
11:17Kite's death is a tragedy, and Pito definitely earned a good thrashing, but it comes at the cost of Gon's innocence, which might be the biggest loss here.
11:26So, enjoy Pito's beatdown, this is probably the only time we'll ever see Gon like this.
