Evening what's an "undercard" matchup/fight that's way better than the "main event"?

For those that don't understand the terminology, in wrestling/boxing, etc, the main event is the final big fight that ends the show with the top fighters or for the championship, etc, & the undercard are the fights before them, usually considered "lesser" or not as important.

For this Q, you can apply it to anything, not just combat sports. Eg, a game boss fight way better than the final fight, a fight between side characters that's way better than the one between the mains we're supposed to care about, or in sports, a playoff series better than the finals that year, etc

New read - Delicious in Dungeon, Volume 13

My goodness! Laios outsmarted the demon.

We got some great backstory of the demon who created the dungeon. What a great moment to really understand the character better.

But yea, this was a moment where Laios outsmarted one of the most powerful beings in the entire universe.

But, at what cost? That's how it ends. We're not sure yet.

Final volume next. Thankfully, I already have it from my library.

A three headed monster with various animal heads is chasing a group of fantasy adventurers who appear to be running for their lives.

Buying new manga will have to wait until I finish Golden Kamuy.

And read all of Dorohedoro.

Reread the entirety of Ranma 1/2.

Get through my complete hardcover collection of Knights of Sidonia.

Manage to be astonished by the 4 perfect collection volumes of Blade of the Immortal I already own.

Finally finish Maison Ikkoku.

... I may have a lot on my plate there.

5. Historias cortas de ciencia ficción #1: Viajeros del Espacio-Tiempo (Boichi). No sé muy bien qué pensar. Por una parte en la mayoría de las historias hay ideas bastante buenas lo suficientemente bien desarrolladas para construir relatos de ciencia ficción interesantes. Pero por otra los cambios de tono de Boichi añadiendo de repente viñetas de humor absurdo me rompen totalmente el ritmo. Leeré el siguiente tomo más que nada porque se vendían juntos en un cofre y ya lo tengo pero dudo mucho que vaya más allá.

Portada de este manga con una ilustración de varios personajes representativos de las historias que contiene: un hombre anciano, un androide, un científico de cierta edad y una joven abrazada a éste. Al fondo se ve a un niño con ropajes árabes agarrado a un junco y al frente un barril que tiene pintado una especie de caricatura
