Mine? Torchwick V. Blake, V1E16.

I mean, wow. That scene. I can't coherently express myself when it comes to it; I'm just to giddy. All I want to do is watch it, again and again. I just... wow. Just wow. That swordplay! And Torchwicks reaction! And... NNNGGGHHH!!! I mean, what a way to introduce  an antagonist - have him beat both a minor and major protagonist at once. Before, he was was just a face in the distance. Someone plotting, who runs from protagonists... and then you see this, and everyone collectively thought "DAMN! He can FIGHT!" And that music theme! It's creepy. It's dark. It sounds like the bad guy is winning (Which he is), from the music alone. Add in his tone-setting laughter, contrasted with Blake's grunts of effort - it really does sound like the one-sided fight it is. Everything about that scene - the audio, the visuals, Gray's excellent VA work, and that classic Monty-style unbeatable swordplay... it all comes together to be something that I'm not sure will be topped untill the inevitable, eventual, Blake vs. Adam fight.

It's perfect.

Second would have to be RWBY vs "Mecha-Torchwick", V2E4 (I'm noticing a theme here. It's Torchwick. Man, I love that guy). Yang stopping the Mech's punch, on a music que that makes me feel like I could out-punch a mech, all while using the power of pure badass... man, it gives me the chills every time. And that uber-victorious sounding "BUMBLEBEE!" shout from Ruby is inspiring for whatever reason - because I don't even ship it.
