See I loved those moments too, they're great, Kuze was another one that hit home for me.

My only issue was the way you phrased it felt like you are telling me my answer was wrong, the question was "what gaming moment gave you chills" not "what gaming moment can we all agree on gave you chills that wasn't altered in anyway by the build up or follow up" and while it may not have for you, for me the Kiryu vs Ryuji fight resonated with me on a much deeper level than Kiryu vs Shibusawa, even though it did hit deeply and was amazing. Or vs Nishiki because while I understand your point, in the end he stabbed Kiryu in the back and while emotional, it doesn't resonate with me as deeply as two rivals with no animosity living their final moments doing what they do best. Reason Yagami vs Kuwana takes its place is because I was bullied to near suicide in high school, while I understood Yagami, I really couldn't help but see things from Kuwanas side especially when Yagamis only arguement seemed to boil down to "what about Sawa?!" You know? Even agreed with Kuwana which is why it took the place as my favorite boss fight. But I wouldn't say it gave me chills so much as it made me reflect.

On that note though. Yeah it really is a masterpiece, every single one seems to find something to really touch the heart with. I could make a list of moments like that from just the series alone.

Hope I'm not sounding like a dick because I really do get your point man. I do.

Yeah see it's my answer and here is why. The fight gave me chills, the build up, the similarities, the music, the fact that the fight isn't between two guys who hate each other but between two men who see no other way to show their respect to one another, there is no malice in their fight. They both think they are going to die and think this is how they can live their final moments. Ending isn't relevant to me, that moment was the best to me and until Kuwana vs Yagami it was my favorite boss fight for years
