FIRST FIGHT
The Eclipse - Berserk
This panel is from the manga Berserk. It is from chapter 73 titled the Eclipse. It features Griffith, one of the main characters of the manga, commencing the Eclipse.
Griffith is an ambitious person. He was born poor and he wanted to be a king. He wanted to be loved by everyone, and he was a great leader who was charismatic. He genuinely cared for his army, and was willing to sleep with other ugly kings to get extra money instead of forcing his army to do pointless battles.
Ever since Guts first met Griffith, he noted an odd little pendant that Griffith always wore. This was no ordinary jewelry -- he had a small but potent behelit about his neck, an egg-shaped device that would one day alter the course of both men's lives forever. Guts thought little of it at the time, but Griffith held that behelit dear, and it later became the key to his incredible ambitions.
Eventually, a frustrated Griffith betrayed the Midland king and ended up in the dungeon, where his behelit fell into a sewer drain. But this was not the end. Griffith was destined to join the fearsome God Hand, and even after he lost the behelit, he saw a vision of the four current God Hand members calling to him through a tiny portal. Guts and Casca rescued Griffith, and in an open plain he recovered his behelit, known as the "egg of the king." Sure enough, this egg would soon hatch as Griffith's destiny emerged. After a year of torture, Guts find Griffith and it is revealed that Griffith was tortured pretty bad.
Basically, the torture skinned him, boiled him, cut off his tongue and muscle tendons to the point where Griffith cant even hold a sword properly or even move, and ate part of his body. Due to this Griffith sees himself as pathetic and starts going insane and tries to commit suicide but fails. However, this leads him to meet with Demons and they offer him a choice: He can become a demigod in exchange for sacrificing his army.
Griffith exposed the egg of the king to some blood and held it up as the world's fated eclipse began. This was a historic moment in the making in Berserk, and Guts and the others could only watch in horror as countless monsters approached from the horizon. Then, a great whirlwind descended to trap everyone inside a nightmarish alternate dimension, and the four God Hand members arrived to get the process started. They explained the basics to Griffith, then urged him to view his fellow mercenaries and declare "sacrifice." Griffith did so, and everyone received the brand of sacrifice somewhere on their bodies.
One by one, the Band of the Hawk members were devoured, save for Guts, Casca and the timid Rickert, while Griffith was enveloped inside a transparent egg. He emerged reborn as Femto, a humanoid being with a black, falcon-like helmet and wing-like arms. Griffith/Femto was now the fifth and final member of the God Hand and exploited the helpless Casca in unspeakable ways until the Skull Knight arrived and rescued both Casca and Guts. The maelstrom finally withdrew as Nosferatu Zodd watched from outside, and Femto vanished with the other four God Hand members.
The art is marvelous and the scene is a turning point in manga history.

VS
The me I Wanted to Be - Kengan Ashura
All men, at some point, dream of being the world's strongest. And most men, including Yamashita Kazuo, give up on that dream sooner or later. It wasn't until he met Tokita Ohma, a man still on the path of the warrior, that Kazuo's passion was rekindled, and so swore to do all he could to support Ohma on his path.
SECOND FIGHT
I Alone Am the Honoured One - Jujutsu Kaisen
The panel above is from the manga Jujutsu Kaisen. It features the strongest character in the manga, the GOAT himself, Satoru Gojo.
The panel is from his second fight with Fushiguro Toji. It showcases Gojo's awakening. Him transcending the limits and reaching unprecedented levels.
This is Gojo high on power, everything simply feels right at the moment. Earlier in the fight Toji laments to himself that Gojo is rambling on and on and wonders if he is perhaps delirious or high. But the truth is, Gojo has reached enlightenment.
The concept of enlightenment is deep embedded in a lot of spiritual teachings. Especially in Buddhism, it mainly regarded as bodhi, which is the awakening and understanding of perfect knowledge. In JJK, deep understanding of curse energy and the awareness over it seems to contribute to the growth of a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
The current Bodhisattva and enlightened one in the universe of JJK. Not only does his name literally mean enlightenment (ζ = satoru), but he is also alluded as Shakyamuni.
The panel vividly depicts Gojo as the honoured one.
Gojo is an anomaly, just like Shakyamuni when he was born. His birth caused the world to change. On top of that he achieves an enlightenment, in which he is drawn like the birth of Shakyamuni; one hand pointing to heaven, the other to earth and speaks the words βAbove heaven under heaven, I alone am the honoured oneβ.
His enlightenment occurred during his fight against Toji as mentioned, when Gojo was on the verge of death. His awakening over the true nature of cursed energy enabled him to not only use cursed technique, but also reverse cursed technique and heal himself. This cemented his position as simply the strongest - an allusion to the one who will be able to reach nirvana.
The importance of this in relation of a Jujutsu Sorcerer's ability is that before reaching a certain point where one is strong enough to defeat their cruel enemy, the path of a Jujutsu Sorcerer is essentially suffering. To be released from this suffering is to reach enlightenment. And for a Jujutsu Sorcerer to reach that point is to gain a certain level of understanding and awareness over the mystery of cursed energy.
And after his enlightenment, he turns to be a teacher, just like Shakyamuni who preach dharma to assist other in reaching liberation. Gojo cares and helps other sorcerers growing strong, as to free them from their sufferings.
The impact of this panel is immense. Not only is it artistically pleasing, some of Gege's best art in my opinion, but it perfectly and vividly illustrates Gojo's awakening.
It lucidly showcases Gojo reaching the levels of a calamity and unleashing his power. Ever since the first time I saw this panel it stuck with me completely.
In order to completely understand why this moment was impactful I'll have to go more into the depths of Gojo's character.
Gojo is a character who defines the series instead of being defined by it, he introduces Yuji to Jujutsu Sorcery and much of the stories exposition comes through him, creating a relatively static character who has surprising depth in his position.
At times Gojo feels more like an event or a force of nature than a character. All of the curses plans revolve around on what they can do before Gojo intervenes and for much of the early story his intervention resolves the issue.
Through his flashback we come to understand how Gojo came to be like this.
Despite being a prodigal youth and immensely strong he is utterly defeated at the hands of Toji and loses the one thing he was tasked to protect. This is when we get the panel above. Gojo reached the ultimate stage. He awakens. He transcends it all and reaches the peak. Some would say he has a God complex, but it's only natural. He has reached that level.
This panel is simply amazing, with the drawing of Gojo and the phrase he utters.

God's Arrival - One Punch Man
GOD arrival was insane in the OPM manga.
He was named before, seen partially, but was still a complete mystery. All we knew is that Blast was fighting against him and he was the big bad of the verse.
And then Murata reveled him : but not in a classic way : with a color page!
The impact was much greater ! In a universe of black and white manga the color page was stunning. And Murata art is as always top tier.
And other thing why this page was amazing : the movement : GOD didnβt appear in a random place : the guy appeared on the freaking Moon (the one Saitama broke against Boros). And the guy was biggggg, he was as big as the moon itself, standing on top of it.
But one of the most impressive thing in this panel is movement :
3 cases : the hand, the arm and then whole body.
In this panel we can clearly feel the movement of GOD, how he was in the shadow lurking, and then bit by bit revealing himself climbing on top of the Moon and threatening the earth with all his might.
There are maybe more beautiful panels or better drawn but this one was done flawlessly and the art of suspense and movement was amazing. And the color add a peculiar feeling. A grandiose je ne sais quoi.

THIRD FIGHT
Irate in Victory - Vagabond
Shinmen Takezo is surrounded by corpses after a battle, yet his thirst for blood is not satiated. What at first seems as relief of a man who survived, is actually the disappointment of a man who didn't find what he was looking for amidst the carnage. The focus is put on the sky as well as the carnage, which can point towards Takezo's wish of finding his thrill reaching the heavens.
From an artistic point of view it is hard to find any fault in Inoue's art - it's detailed, proportionate, and conveys a great deal of emotion and beauty; a rare combination in this medium.

VS
An Attempt on the Life of a God - Berserk
From the manga Berserk, the Skull Knight makes a stunning appearance in an assassination attempt on the life of Griffith, better known as Femto. I believe that this is one of the best drawn, most awesome panels in all of manga.
The reason why I think it is the best manga panel is partly because of the beforementioned amazing art, but also because it sets the stage for a plot twist that greatly changed the world of Berserk and set up plotlines for the final part of the story.
