IMPORTANT: I WILL NOT COUNT VOTES FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT VOTE FOR EACH FIGHT. ALSO IF I SEE OR NOTICE SOME SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY THAT ENTRY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
In this round in this thread we will have 7 character deaths/sacrifces, which means 3 fights.
FIRST FIGHT
Joffrey Baratheon from GoT
VS
Vader
VS
Adam from Record of Ragnarok
SECOND FIGHT
Kozuki Oden
VS
Whitebeard
To describe whitebeard as badass would be an understatement. Whitebeard has the greatest death in manga history to me. it perfectly encompasses who he was. A man. A man who would never run away from a fight. Taking all the hits in life to the face. He is a monster with a heart of gold and in his final thoughts he was only thinking about his sons/family. He was a loving father who never had any actual children. The hits he took would take most characters out after taking just 10 percent of that. But he took it and died standing up.
To make it even more badass, he gave a final fuck you to the WG with his final words. Absolutely incredible
THIRD FIGHT
Erwin Smith and the Survey Corps
VS
Kawakami Bansai from Gintama
In this round in this thread we will have 7 character deaths/sacrifces, which means 3 fights.
FIRST FIGHT
Joffrey Baratheon from GoT
The death we wanted. The death we needed. And the death we deserved.
Joffrey Baratheon was one of those characters whom us viewers couldn’t wait to see axed off. From the series premiere to his horrific end at the Purple Wedding, Joffrey was the nastiest piece of work out there. He was selfish, arrogant, stupid, and infantile.
However, as the series went on, we found out there was more to Joffrey than being immature and petty. He had a real darkness to him that manifested in unpredictable ways.
He put Ned Stark’s head on a pike and forced Sansa to look at it. He paid Petyr Baelish for prostitutes he could force to painfully whip one another. In one case, he even murdered one with a crossbow. It’s no surprise Margaery’s Grandmother ensured Joffrey’s glass of wine was poisoned, because she didn’t want her daughter married to such a monster. His death was also one of the longest and most painfully uncomfortable ones we’ve ever gotten on the series so far, slowly choking for air as his face turned purple. Pretty satisfying, I'd say.

VS
Vader
Everybody knows who Vader is. What makes his death glorious is that even after all the evil he's done, he still sacrificed himself to save his son. It doesn't redeem him, but there's something poetic about knowing that there's hope for everyone.
VS
Adam from Record of Ragnarok
As probably most of you know Record of Ragnarok is a fighting tournament manga between the gods and humans to decide the fate of humanity
Adam is the second fighter of humanity and he takes on Zeus the god of cosmos after humanity has lost the first fight
During his fight he gives humanity hope and brings their hearts together, he moves them to tears multiple times and make it look like winning is an actual possibility as he whoops Zeus for most of the fight
We get narration from multiple gods that Adam is motivated by hatred and wants revenge on gods but his actual reason for fighting is the most beautiful line in the series "What father need a reason to protect his children?"
This made all of humanity to cry and root and scream for their daddy
During his fight he bleeds from the eyes, ears, mouth, eats planet busting punches, dies and still continues to fight for his children after death
Even if he lost he still pushed and whooped the strongest god there was, gave his children hope and went out like a champion with a smile and his hand raised in the air.

SECOND FIGHT
Kozuki Oden
We all know the story of Oden obviously so I won't repeat it but instead I'll write why I'm voting for him personally. Oden was a complete fool, but his heart was in the right place. He was like a samurai version of Luffy and despite his foolishness, his naivety, he was true to who he was and his beliefs, he was not a manipulative, two faced, cowardly person but quite the opposite. He really stood out to me when he paid respects to that dead man with eating Oden over his funeral pyre, using the flames from his burning remains to heat the oden itself, it was a very profound, spiritual and honourable moment.
He completely messed up in abandoning Wano and thus his family, friends, country and such and letting Kaido and Orochi take complete control over it and lay it all to ruin under their tyranny and greed. He had his reasons to do so of course but he still recognised it was his own fault and he accepted responsibility for his actions, his mistakes and such, which makes him a further contrast and superior man to that cowardly, backstabbing fraud Orochi.
In fact Oden's honour was so great, it impressed even Kaido who killed Higurashi to "avenge" her dirty tactics against Oden when Kaido fought him and Kaido chose to give him a merciful, quick death after Oden completed his own self imposed, hellish challenge during his own execution. Even though he had previously been betrayed by Kaido and especially Orochi, he still pleaded with them and tried to bargain with them to spare the lives of his own beloved Scabbards and the hostages they had too.
And thus during his own execution, he refused to let his own Scabbards join him in it, despite the fact they were meant to and they wanted to. His relentless selfessness and martyrly attitude persisted and ensured he could let anyone else die on his behalf and he won't let anyone else die in vain or be sacrificed for his own sins/mistakes. The reaction of everyone watching, repeating his famous catchphrase and the tears and survivor's guilt of the Scabbards further intensifies how much of an impactful and beloved person Oden was, how charistmatic, influential and ultimately heroic and iconic he was.
Oden was a fool and he died like one too as Orochi would love to say especially BUT he died true to who he was, he never faltered from who he was, much like Luffy, he refused to let the world change him, he refused to let his will be broken to the very end and despite literal years of forced humiliation, he never gave up, all in the vain ambition to save the lives of countless other people.
His final moments were the most horrifying, haunting, tragic, brutal etc I've seen in a series honestly. Not even just in One Piece but anything else I've seen! For a man to dive into burning hot oil and burn himself alive, in a way, bringing hell and its firey punishment upon himself even is nothing short of completely insane and yet inspiring. Oda wrote him as a blatant expy/inspiration of the real life Japanese historic legend Ishikawa Goemon:
Kozuki Oden is based off of the Ishikawa Goemon legend from OnePiece
I know I rambled on a lot but I felt it was necessary to build up on why Oden's sacrifice and death were impactful. Oden was like the "Japanese Jesus" and sacrificed himself for the "greater good". And now his will lives on to this day 20 years later and he will finally get avengement and justice through the ones who have inherited his will and seek vengeance for him. Imagine if he could see his son now especially! Well both his children even ofc! He would be so immensely proud!
Oden died a hero and true to himself to the very end, how many people do we know did the same, both IRL and in fiction? Long live Oden anyway, he died like a hero, a truly brave man to the end and unlike Kaido and especially Orochi, he deserves to always be remembered and never forgotten!

THIRD FIGHT
Erwin Smith and the Survey Corps
Erwin Smith and the survey corps death was an amazing moment.
They were cornered by the warriors and especially the Beast Titan. They couldn't retreat and had to distract him for some time. So Erwin smith the chief of the corps, gave his final order : an amazing final charge against The Beast and to meet death, while Levi Ackerman sneaked his way from the side to kill him.
He managed to convince the youngs recruits to sacrifice themselves for the future of Paradise. All those youngs guys went straight into hell's mouth, they cried, their legs shook but they went nonetheless.
Erwin Smith had a dream, and he was so close to it, he was literally ten meters away from the thing he chased all his life. Yet he decided to sacrifice his own dream, everything he ever fought for, for the sake of the mission and to lead the rest of the corps into death. Without him he knew that no one would have had the courage to charge against the Beast titan. So he jumped on his horse and yelled from the bottom of his lugs : RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!

VS
Kawakami Bansai from Gintama
Personal stakes are what make a story good, right? This character not only died manipulating an army of dead soldiers with his strings, but he died for another person. What makes it so satisfying is that it’s not only one of the coolest moments in manga, but also a really emotional moment.
This death encapsulates the themes of the series it’s in, which is Gintama. It’s not about how you die, it’s about how you live. The reason Bansai was fighting in this war (the final arc in Gintama) wasn’t to save the world and be a hero, he was fighting to live with his friends.
And so he goes down using his full fighting capabilities, with him strapping bombs to his body at the end and taking down the enemy army with him. Not before pulling some crazy feats like using his strings to make his opponents kill each other, the aforementioned manipulation of the dead enemy soldiers, and using his swordsmanship to cut down dozens of soldiers. Allowing his allies to achieve victory in that war.
