Yeah pretty much.
I mean can you imagine a shonen story that didn't climax with the hero finding the will to summon never before seen power to defeat the impossibly powerful villain?
It's why when you have Yea Forumsx/a/ fanart it's always fitting the shonen heroes could easily rock a GL ring.

Who the fuck is "sinister"?

that X-Men villain with the clones

Mark Waid and Geoff Johns Wally Flash run is also a battle shounen full of power escalation through time and struggle and ridiculous feats. Wally starts relatively weak for a speedsters and by the end he becomes insanely broken.

Honestly, I don't remember any one that did. What you described often happens in important rival fights, but actual big bad? I think it's usually some kind of shared attack where everyone contributes (genki-dama style) or going "low level" with the final attack for the sake of nostalgia. "Never before seen power" may be hype, but doesn't really give the right feeling of completion like the described ones do.

Well, there's JoJo. I don't think anyone pul-

Uh, never mind
Justin Murphy
Is that why it's so bad?
John Wright
how's his Teen Titan run?
Logan Taylor
I liked it. It wasn't amazing, but enjoyable enough, at least until One Year Later.
Brandon Moore
Yeah but were there ANY good OneYearLater stories?
Cooper Ortiz
Up, Up, and Away is great
Levi Nguyen
The Superman books with Chris Kent were great, I liked Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis for being more planetary romance than superhero, and Blue Beetle.
Jack Roberts
Maybe if all the other superhero comics were like a shonen, the industry wouldn't be on decline.
Oliver Roberts
Wouldn't know, I've barely read any DC.

DC should just convert to battle shonen instead of trying to be deep, woke and edgy with Tom King's retard ass.

>I don't remember any one that did
>Goku going SSJ against Frieza
>Naruto going 8 tails I think? against Pain
>Ichigo going ultra-emo mode against Aizen
>Gurren motherfucking Laggan
And that's from the shounen I've read. I don't read too many japshit.
Joshua Butler
SSJ was foreshadowed before, and 8-tails was a logical progression of Naruto's forms. However, while Mugetsu came out of nowhere and was stupid, the way worse asspull in Bleach was Ichigo's hollow form when Ulquiorra killed his ass
