So what are you favorites.

Everything Vampire Hunter D does.
Karma Abyss talking to her son and raising her voice by a *bit,* and punches a hole in the moon with her flame breath.
Wakim and the Steel General duking it out in Creatures of Light and Darkness is one of the trippiest fights I've ever read, and possibly the best example of 'fighting back and forth in Time', with actual times worked out, people setting up defenses in the past and the future, time being rewritten due to alterations, Wakim and the General killing each other in dozens of different timelines that get eliminated due to alterations in the past, seemingly hundreds of each person fighting each other, time itself starting to break down, etc.
Amusingly, it's not even close to the craziest stuff in the book, but it's a pretty fun scene.

When you materialize a construct larger than the observable universe on nothing but sheer willpower and belief.

Bullseye killing someone by flicking a toothpick. Like it not only made it that far but apparently had enough force to penetrate the glass window.
It's pretty much that point it's utter bullshit because that is just not peak human ability as the narrative claims Bullseye to be. It's blatant hax even kinda too ridiculous as admittedly peak humans in comics were way above peak humans in real life.
...Yet, it's honestly too amusing for me to really dislike.
"But... But I want to be a big karate cyborg... ;_;" - Nik Hasta
"Get off my lawn! ...on this forum, that just makes people think of Cyclops." - Sharpandpointies
"...makes me think the Night King just says "Screw the rules, I have magic money" when it comes to physics." -Captain Morgan
Being fair, the planet getting murdered was at least in part due to Bronze and his 'doubling, doubling again, doubling again' thing. ^_^ Edit: which is, now that I think about it, pretty ridiculous on its own.
But yes, Temporal Fugue is kind of 'The Time Martial Art that other time martial arts want to be when they grow up'.

I'd have to echo this. That stuff gets so hilariously broken compared to the baseline of that universe that sometimes when D is put in a "how will he get out of this" situation you can practically feel the "Psych!" leap off the page and slap you in the face.
Sometimes human onlookers will only be able to perceive what appears to be a conversation between D and an opponent when they are actually throwing blades at each other with superfast exchances; fast enough that vampire stakes hurled through the air catch on fire from air friction. The dude dodges lightning elementals while partially submerged in a river and entangled by a water beast. He's ridiculous.
I'll add Tenchi Masaki's feat of starting to tear an entire multiverse apart when his powers raged out of control, to the point that the space outside of creation was shaking. Only because the series never even tried to have any serious villains after that point. It was all resolving politics and the harem. With my favorite part of the politics being the declaration that Tenchi's house and its surrounding land is its own sovereign nation in the eyes of the interstellar community while Earth is still an undeveloped civilization, all because they want to be able to create laws preventing any one interstellar government from being able to claim sole alliance with the most powerful house in the multiverse.
Anything in almost every single JoJo fight. The series has what I would argue is genuinely terrible writing, but I still love it because it's also so genuinely earnest with its random bullshit.
Absolutely. It's so nonsense it's borderline insulting. But watching the 5 seasons of it have been some of the best anime I have ever watched. I can barely wait for 6.
I wish it had gotten an anime series showing that stuff off. JoJo and the various OP isekai animes have shown there is demand for that sort of thing.
Basically everything Old Ancestor does in DTG.

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ Know them. Follow them. Love them.
JoJo is a series of stories where the plot "Paraplegic jockey with the power to fire off his fingernails teams up with an Italian executioner, a Secret Service Nun, and a man who can turn into a dinosaur to stop the President of the United States from gathering the pieces of Jesus" is just accepted without question.
Of course, the original story was "British Gentleman fights his adopted brother-turned-vampire by punching him with the power of the sun".
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.
- C.S. Lewis
Don't forget that the Paraplegic Jockey and the (vastly bulkier) British Gentleman are technically the same person after the British Gentleman's Adopted-Brother-Turned-Vampire (who was an alternate version of The Man Who Can Turn Into A Dinosaur) had his Priest Boyfriend Who Steals Powers From Other People's Souls reset the universe in a mostly failed attempt to make it so that the British Gentleman's family never existed.
