Man that Habaki vs Yatou fight I just finished reading in KKK might be one of the weirdest ones I've ever read. If you jack it to subversion, I guess you'll get a kick out of this. Basically all the protagonist think this is the final fight and exactly act like it on a narrative and meta level. There's a shitload of cliched "俺は負けない" lines, the fucking power of friendship and love, and all that typical stuff. The music is blaring heroic, happy sounding stuff as well. As a reader you obviously know this is all bullshit so the contrast is odd. To add some icing on it, there's actually an extended part with Yatou's own perspective. He's not some evil dude (clearly) but just wants to see if the protagonists have what it takes to stop 波旬. Basically he just LARPs as an evil antagonist the whole time and gives up his role after he gets defeated. It was just tonally really weird.
