Thinking on it, I forgot about Castlevania. The battle between Dracula and Trevor, Sypha and Alucard was incredibly well done and had an ending that was a genuinely surprising emotional gut punch.
Generally season 2 of Castlevania was of exceptional quality. It's one of the standout animation projects of the year.
It's been a really good year for anime fights, so it's a difficult choice.
The fight in question, or at least the best part of it
It's a marvel of animation and coreography.
As amazing as that fight is, it's from the end of 2017 so it doesn't count.
When it comes to Black Clover I'd say that Yami vs. Licht is the best contender of the year.
Absolutely, what it lacks in creative coreography it makes up for 100 times over in narratative weight. And the United States of Smash is the best finisher of the year. And at least there's a point to the simplistic coreography (All For One wants to beat and demoralize All Might at his own game basically).
And the Two Heroes movie gives us some kickass animation and coreography while providing us with a sight that we might never get during the rest of the series. spoilers:end of spoilers
Deku and All Might teaming up against the bad guy
I'd also like to give a shout out to the finale of Dragon Ball Super, which gives us Jiren vs. Goku, Freiza and Android 17.
In the CW's Elseworld's story, Flash and Supergirl come up with a plan to slow down time... by running around the earth in the opposite direction of its rotation with mach 7 speed, clearly shown to be way way WAY past mach 7 speed.
WHAT?!
All those are some great choices!
Not much of a fight but Gaia vs the Russian convict was awesome just for the ownage.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Ichigo: What even *are* you?!
Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.
