They're going to be feeling that tomorrow! Join Ashley as we look over the knockout blows that sent fans into a tail spin

Transcript

00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the finishing blows and

00:11victories that got the internet abuzz.

00:20Number 10, Eren Beats Up Armin, Attack on Titan

00:30Eren Jaeger's villain turn in the final season catches many people by surprise, none

00:35more so than his besties Mikasa and Armin.

00:38A tense chat between the trio escalates to blows after Eren claims that neither are as

00:44free as him, and that he despises Mikasa, despite her obvious love for him.

00:50Armin attempts to give Eren a well-deserved ass-kicking, but Eren proves much better

00:54in a fight, beating Armin until he can barely stand.

00:58Armin's retort arguably does just as much damage, though.

01:02While Armin isn't taken out completely, there's no denying that this fight between

01:07friends lit up the internet, since it showed us the extent of Eren's dissent.

01:19Number 9, Himawari Knocks Out Naruto, Boruto, Naruto Next Generations

01:31Naruto has dreamed of becoming Hokage since he was a kid, but the day it finally happens

01:35doesn't exactly go to plan.

01:38His kids, Himawari and Boruto, are arguing over the former's doll, which is torn.

01:44Naruto's daughter snaps, and attacks her brother with the Byakugan.

01:48When Naruto intervenes, he gets hit right in the, well, chakra point.

02:00Naruto gets so messed up, that he has to miss the ceremony to proclaim him the new Hokage.

02:06Despite clearly being a gag moment, Naruto getting knocked out by his daughter, still

02:10got all the internet's power scalers debating whether Naruto has been nerfed, or whether

02:15Himawari is just that strong.

02:20Number 8, Steely Defeats, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

02:32Knocking out bad guys in a flurry of punches is a tradition handed down in the Joestar

02:37bloodline for generations.

02:40Yet few of them have been as satisfying or as talked about as Jotaro's beatdown of

02:45Steely Dan.

02:46The smug cretin Stan, the Lovers, lets him hold people hostage by crawling inside their

02:51brains.

02:52After Steely Dan humiliates Jotaro, while holding his grandpa Joseph's life over him,

02:58Jotaro takes swift justice on Dio's underling, once the Lovers is no longer a threat.

03:13The ensuing Ora Ora barrage is spectacular enough, but Jotaro leaving a receipt is the

03:18cherry on top.

03:29Number 7, Denji Goes Low, Chainsaw Man

03:38Given how outrageous it can get, Chainsaw Man never fails to make headlines.

03:43In this early episode, Aki leads New Devil Hunter Denji into an alley, before beating

03:48him up.

03:49He hopes to dissuade Denji from the profession if he isn't serious, having seen too many

03:54New Devil Hunters die.

03:56However, Denji proves he is serious, albeit in a decidedly unserious way.

04:02He repeatedly kicks Aki between the legs.

04:11It may not be honourable in a fight between men, but it is an effective tactic.

04:16It also got plenty of guys talking online, if only out of sympathy.

04:36Number 6, Valiant Vegeta, Dragon Ball Super

04:45The tournament of power broke the internet quite a few times, with some absolutely hype

04:49moments.

04:51But the knockout that got everyone talking was of one of the heroes.

04:55Vegeta and Goku are overmatched by Jiren.

04:58With Goku down, Vegeta stands alone against the powerful Pride Trooper.

05:03Pretty prideful in his own right, Vegeta draws on his own pride for his family and

05:08friends to fire off one last Final Flash.

05:18It may prove unsuccessful, and he's knocked out of the ring, but Vegeta's tearful care

05:23for his loved ones, and his last gift of energy to Goku, got Dragon Ball fans discussing the

05:29Saiyan Prince's character growth.

05:39Number 5, Gon Pummels Pitou, Hunter x Hunter

05:52Gon is tremendously powerful for a kid his age, but even he's outmatched by the Royal

05:57God, Nefapito.

05:59However in Gon's rage over what the Chimera Ant did to Kite, his resolve to use all his

06:05Nen and defeat Pitou, allows him to unlock a supreme level of power, and bulk up considerably.

06:12Seeing Gon punch and kick Pitou around like a ragdoll, is quite satisfying and incredibly

06:17executed.

06:26Even after the cat-like Ant is dead, Gon still doesn't let up, and for good reason.

06:31There may be an element of tragedy in his final blows, but that didn't stop the internet

06:36from getting hyped over Gon's God-level Rochambeau.

06:47Number 4, United States of Smash, My Hero Academia

06:58There are a ton of great final attacks in My Hero, but only one of them set the internet

07:03ablaze with hype.

07:05All Might's battle against All for One, sees the number one hero's power reduced

07:10to its barest embers, his weakened body exposed to the world.

07:14Yet, with one last burst of energy, All Might goes for a fake-out, and then hits AFO with

07:20one last, one-for-all powered punch.

07:23The impact sends a cyclone whirling into the air, and puts the vile villain down for the

07:28count.

07:39In the beginning, we all thought Deku was weird for re-watching All Might videos again

07:43and again, but we still can't get enough of this moment ourselves.

07:57Number 3, Nanami Goes Ham, Jujutsu Kaisen

08:08Everybody loves Nanami, but this moment showed us all that not everyone loves him the same

08:13way.

08:14The straight-laced Jujutsu sorcerer comes to the rescue when sadistic killer Shigemo

08:18attacks Akari and Nobara.

08:21Furious that they had been targeting the auxiliary members of the team, Nanami proceeds to beat

08:26the life and luck out of Shigemo, all the while demanding answers about their comrades.

08:32Although it's an unusually erotic shot of Nanami that made the internet go wild for

08:37this scene, seeing him knock the little twerp around is also quite satisfying, in a very

08:42different way.

08:50Number 2, Shanks Gives Kid A Divine Departure, One Piece

09:02He may only show up every few hundred episodes, but any time Luffy's mentor Shanks appears

09:08tends to be hype.

09:09Still, every other time pales in comparison to this one.

09:13When Eustace Kid rolls up and challenges Shanks, the cocky rookie prepares to unleash a devastating

09:19attack on Shanks' allies.

09:31The red-haired emperor's future sight is strong enough to see it coming, and he takes

09:35off leaping across ships.

09:38With a single monumental attack, Divine Departure, Shanks takes out a pirate worth three billion

09:44and his first mate killer.

10:00The giant slicing his ship in two is just the dessert after a filling meal.

10:10Fans have waited 25 years to see Shanks properly fight someone, and it was worth the wait.

10:32Number 1, Ash Finally Secures A League Victory, Pokemon

10:44For decades, Ash Ketchum remained not only 10 years old, but also without any Pokemon

10:50League Championship victories.

10:52At last, in the Alola League battle against Gladion, everything comes down to Ash's

10:56Lycanroc facing off against Gladion's.

10:59The mirror match concludes with Ash's rock Pokemon countering the counter used against

11:04him.

11:05And sure, that makes about as much sense as any of the other cheap moves Ash's Pokemon

11:10pull off, but the internet honestly didn't care.

11:24Not if it meant Ash finally got to become the very best like no one ever was.

11:34Is there an anime knockout whose absence knocked you out for a loop?
