Top Ten Anime Rivalries
This is the best anime rivalry ever! Their rivalry is legendary and still stand strong 33 years after Dragon Ball first started / 22 years after it ended and continued till now in Dragon Ball Super. They are also two of the most recognized anime characters in a well-known anime series. This is truly the best!
This is the best and don't deny it dragon ball fans!
I feel that this should be in the top 3...from the first episode to the last episode, some may call it bromance but I disagree. Other anime rivalries are pretty much stereotypical but this one stands among them.
They're Ying and Yang (if you watched Shippuden to the end you'll understand).
Two completely opposite forces that fit perfectly together in a YingYang.
It's like a magnet, it's the opposite forces that attract.
This is an epic rivalry. They're best friends and enemies at the same time.
HOW IS THIS NOT ONE? Both characters have amazing development and personality and are from Death Note, one of the best animes of all time. Plus their relationship is so interesting, L is trying to put Light behind bars and Light despises anyone that gets in his way of creating a new world, but at the same time, L is probably the only character in the show that Light may have seen as a friend. And all of the "battles" are so epic.
This rivalry was literally a matter of life and death, two of Japans smartest people battling head to head, how is this not the best rivalry?
While Death Note ended badly, one reasons why it started out strong was due to their rivalry.
There rivalry got me hooked to Death Note!
This is a good one.
Definitely a rivalry to consider in top anime rivalries. Kaiba being the world champion duel monsters player, then Yugi/Atem comes out of nowhere to defeat him. Now, Kaiba wants to reclaim his title. Also to consider, they are definitely two sides of the same coin. Yugi believes his friends will guide him, while Kaiba thinks that only using brute strength and superiority will win the game. WHo's side of the coin is the right one? That's what makes this rivalry so intense!
They were enemies... for a while. But being enemies doesn't equal rivalry. If Lelouch ever had a rival it would be his brother Schneizel. Two genius trying to outsmart the other.
I saw someone describe them as yin/yang and fire/ice.
I think that's pretty spot on. They are similar on some aspects, opposite and complemetary on others. One fight with the arms, the others with the legs; one cold and rational, the other fiery and emotional. And though they respect and like each other deep down, they get along like cat and dog. That's why they are the best.
Get a room already!
The best part is that they actually do care for each other, but they're so similar that they can't stand it, and end up insulting each other and bickering all day long. THE best.
They're kinda rivals but in the end they are still close friends...
They're not the best rivals but my most favorite.
(The best rivalry is Naruto vs Sasuke hands down)
They started off as just bickering pals but as the story progressed we got to know their past and how they were together since childhood and how much they actually mean to each other, and the actual conflict that comes between their friendship, and how much similar they are.
They were rivals for literally 5 episodes.
They're always fighting over Tenchi.
When they first meet its clear that there was no way they could get along even though their fathers arranged for them to be married.
I mostly enjoy how they totally hate each other from the start and have these amazing battles with flying vending machines, sign posts and trash cans around. The awesome moves and how they are toe to toe each other in different ways which is the only reason their rivalry could keep going for years just excites me.
