THE LAST BATTLE.
The Phantom Troupe
VS
The Akatsuki
The Phantom Troupe
The Phantom Troupe is made up of infamous thieves with Class-A bounties and is one of the main criminal organizations in the HxH world. They are also known as "Spider". Almost every member is from Meteor City, a junkyard inhabited by outcasts. In that city, no one truly exists and the city itself is known to very few people. Chrollo Lucilfer formed the Phantom Troupe with six other citizens of Meteor City. The group consists of 13 members, one "head" and twelve "legs", all of whom are formidable Nen users. Each member has a numbered tattoo of a spider on their body. The only way to join is to kill a current member and take their place or just wait for a member to die and get chosen by Chrollo.
They are known to be one of the most dangerous and ruthless thieves around the world. Just like when they massacred the entire clan of Kurapika just because of their Scarlet Eyes. Even though the group is close with each other, they allow those who have killed their members to join. Just like in the video, Chrollo organized a revenge massacre of the mafia in deceased member Uvogin's honor.

VS
The Akatsuki
The Akatsuki organization consists of rogue shinobi from across the continent, each one imagined as monstrous in one way or another. Their goal is shrouded in mystery and falsehoods, so much that even its own members aren't entirely sure what they're aiming towards. But the capture and subjugation of the Jinchuurikiโcontainers for the all powerful Bijuuโis the foremost goal given to each member.
What makes the Akatsuki so great is how Kishimoto pairs them apart, ensuring that each duo has a unique interplay. Deidara and Sasori are both self proclaimed artists yet their interpretation of what art is couldn't be further apart. Hidan and Kakuzu, the Immortal Duo, clash violently when it comes to beliefs. Kakuzu is a man who will only put his trust in money, since it has value he can always rely on. Whereas Hidan is the opposite, a blind zealot choosing to trust an undefined dark deity.
The pair that best embodies this would be Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha. Both gained international recognition for the slaughter of their peers, both doing so (unbeknownst to the world in Itachi's case) on the orders of higher ups. Surface level, they're very similar. But, one represents fire whereas the other is water. Kisame is a man who despises lies absolutely whereas Itachi is someone who couldn't tell the truth when alive. Kisame is willing to hurt or maim anyone in order to find purpose in Akatsuki, whereas Itachi already has a purpose but is equally brutal in reaching itโincluding towards his own well being.
The enigmatic leadership of Akatsuki, revealed to be Pein and later Obito, works very well too. The mystery that spawned interest in Akatsuki is retained for much of the series. Likewise, both of the leaders being staunch idealists allows for great back and forths when challenging the protagonist.
