Piccolo's Hellzone Grenade. One of the last moves he did while he was still useful. Also has a great-ass name.

Rock Lee using the 8 gates. There's nothing like going all out and seeing your opponent rag dolled helplessly across the room in every direction. I'm not a big fan of Naruto, but the fight between Rock Lee and Gaara was probably the best fight in the series and it's still hype as fuck.

Itano Circus.
The Macross Missile Massacre is a classic.Macross missiles.
Still love the Dempsey Role, so much hype.Hajime no Ippo
The Dempsey Roll
It's amazing and it blows my mind that it's a real life move (albeit exaggerated here quite a bit).
Also, basically every attack in One Punch Man is awesome.

It's not too hard to find this one on YouTube since the rights lapsed years ago, but it's worth tracking down the hilariously terrible dub. As a mid-80's OVA, it's not bad. The animation is nice, but the story is bonkers. Every character has over-the-top super movies that are either subtitled or explicitly named by on-screen characters, the main scientist bad guy talks like a pirate, and there are little to no character motivations for anything.
Screened this for a few friends for a movie night once and they couldn't get enough of it.

I also like guyver's mega smasher. I was literally surprised when I first saw the original anime and did not expect that kind of attack.

ZA WORLD!
You're not wrong! Honestly, Za Warudo, Ora ora ora, Overdrive, Road Roller Da, etc. Everything from Jojo.
Definitely want to throw some love over to Giga Drill Breaker, Kamehameha, basically anything Ryu from SF does too.

These two combined also lead to, arguably, the coolest moment in DBZ
Nothing has topped this moment for me in DBZ. I was floored when I saw it.

Yep, that beam struggle is still the peak of Dragon Ball for me.
But as far as naming a single technique . . . I think I have to go with the Final Flash. The build-up, the scale of the attack, and the Falconer soundtrack, all comes together to make an unforgettable moment.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
As bad as Bleach got in later years, there was no doubt that its early character and technique design were amazing. This might be mine, as well.

Damn. Some really cool ones in here.
It isn't super flashy, but I loved Getsuga Tensho from Bleach. It was a simple move that didn't pause the moment for 10 seconds to hold on it and exaggerate it (in most cases), so it never came off as overly intrusive or silly. You never thought "why is the bad guy just sitting there while he is yelling his move?" Well, not much anyway. And for being simple and quick, it was still powerful. I also love how much this power's form changed, in how he unleashed it and the impact of it depending on different scenarios.

They did that same shit with the King Kong Gun.

Unfortunately it's too old for gifs, if I wanted them I'd have to make them myself. But Grandpa Danbei from the OVA of Cutey Honey. If anyone is old enough, or an aficionado of anime I'm sure they'll agree on his move set.

Oooh, yeah this is a good one. Fucking hype-ass attack.
Final Getsuga Tenshou
Years before this aired I was talking to my friend about the series and said to him "I'm sure at some point someone will fuse with their zanpakuto itself and become a physical manifestation of the spirit as, like, the final version of the zanpakuto. I dunno, Hokai or some shit?"
Won it.
