Using animation creatively to create a compelling scene - Samurai Jack scene analysis

The fight scene is a staple of the action genre, in both tv and film the spectacle of a fight is often as important narratively and thematically as the dialogue, and also very enjoyable to the audience to watch. Recently I went to see John Wick 2, a movie in which the uber stylized violence is it's main selling point, it's engaging because it presents these violent scenes in a creative and engaging way, breaking the mold of budget bourne flicks. It also made me start thinking about good fight scenes in tv and film in general, and it was interesting that this particular scene from Samurai Jack, a children's show, stood out to me. This is a scene that I last saw as a kid watching cartoon network, maybe ten years ago, and this one scene still came to the forefront of my mind when I started thinking about good action scenes. So naturally I wanted to come back to this scene to see exactly what it is that burnt it into my memory.
I really love this scene because it uses the medium so creatively, utilizing only black and white for the majority of the fight, creating a stark contrast between the two characters fighting and the environment in which they're occupying. It's also a very strong narrative choice, making the entire scene in black and white, including characters. It makes the fight really clear to the audience, the characters have relatively similar silhouettes but you know who's who by the color coding, not only does it make the scene very easy to read but it creates a good vs evil dynamic which makes it that much more compelling, there are no distractions and it just looks great.
Visually it's a very flat scene, the environment made up of columns and beams which don't really seem to occupy a 3d space, but the characters do move through 3d space, which definitely builds the tension of the fight, it gives a sense of disorientation, not being able to read the environment, which brings you into the fight as the characters disappear into their corresponding color, leaving the other guessing where they are, the audience being equally as confused. This makes the fight very engaging, bringing the audience into how the protagonist feels and consistently raising the stakes by having the sun setting, leaving less and less of the light which Jack can hide in, but just as the entire screen is filled with black Jack defeats the enemy, creating payoff to the tension and creating a very satisfying victory.
