Pitching a climactic duel between two or more characters during, especially in front of, a sunset enables the creator to enhance the tenseness inherent in said duel both visually and narrative-wise. On one hand, the setting sun not only casts the fighters in shadow, further highlighting their forms, but the sunset colors also create a vibrant background that is otherwise rarely seen in nature. On the other hand, a setting sun, corresponding with an ending day, can represent many things, such as the death of a combatant or the End of an Era. The timing of the sunset can also vary across media. While some fights may take place only during the sunset, others can start in the day and end with the sunset or alternatively start on the sunset and last into the night. Contrast Showdown at High Noon, for duels that take place in the middle of the day. Also contrast Cue the Sun, for when the Sun rises before or during an important event. A subtrope of Fight Scene and 24-Hour Trope Clock. |

Samurai Jack: The battle between Jack and the ninja in Samurai Vs Ninja culminates in a sunset duel as the latter tries to use the gradually darkening sky to disappear in the dark and kill the white-clad Jack. However, Jack uses the last rays of sunlight to spot his opponent and kill him just as the sun sets. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: An invoked example in Episode 59, where the duel between Yuma and Gauche/Nistro during the quarter finals takes place on an anime-exclusive field spell card, Sunset Showdown, which gives this effect, making their battlefield a sun-drenched canyon. The final duel of the third season of ZEXAL between Yuma and his rival Kaito/Kite takes place at sunset, which is used to highlight how the two duelists have changed since their first encounter with each other. |

Kirby: In the recurring sub-game "Samurai Kirby" (first introduced in Kirby Super Star), the duels between Kirby and his opponents take place in a wheat field at sunset, tying in with the sub-game's nature as a homage to Jidaigeki films. | |

Ultra Series: The franchise is full of many sunset battles that listing them all would triple the page length. A few noteworthy examples can be found below. Ultraseven: The iconic duel between Ultraseven and Alien Metron takes place against the setting sun, bathing the fighters and the Kitagawa skyline in an irradiant colorscape. Return of Ultraman: The first battle between Ultraman Jack against Black King and Alien Nackle takes place at sundown. As the fight turns into a Curb-Stomp Battle, Jack futilely begs the setting sun to lend him its energy. Ultraman Taiga: The episode Warriors in the Evening Glow features a sunset duel between Ultraman Taiga and Black King, followed by Alien Nackle pulling a Suicide by Cop against Taiga in front of the sunset, in homage to the above-mentioned episode. |

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle: Two of them: The seventh ranked assassin Ryuji fights Travis while the sun is setting, with the first phase being a duel on their bikes that highlight them in shadows. After that, Ryuji's Miyamoto Musashi motifs come into play, with his boss fight being another duel while the sun sets. While Travis tries to complete the homage by defeating him in an honorable duel, Sylvia guns him down instantly once Ryuji is on his last legs. The Number 2 ranked assassin in the game, Alice Twilight, where the level and boss battle take place at sunset. It serves as an emotional Climax Boss that makes Travis realize how the UAA's Ranked Matches have perpetuated a cycle of violence that he resolves to stop once his own goal for revenge has been fulfilled. |
