Fan favorite: The one-take fight scene in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
The one-take fight scene in the third episode, titled The Scales & the Sword from Daredevil: Born Again season 2, is a standout moment for the fans. The reason is that it builds on the standard set by the Netflix series while adding a fresh twist.

The twist in the one-take shot in Daredevil: Born Again season 2
The big surprise comes when Jacques Duquesne joins the hallway fight scene. He is also known as the Swordsman. Unlike the past hallway fight scene where Daredevil fought alone, this time he is fighting with the skilled Swordsman. Both of them are taking down Fisk’s men, and the scene is mesmerising to watch. This twist kept the show’s standard alive and made the scene feel new.
Swordsman first appeared in the Hawkeye show and later appeared in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. Until now, he has never had an opportunity to display his skills. Wilson held him hostage because he refused to support the Red Hook project. When the Daredevil freed him, he picked up his sword and proved that he is no less than Matt.
Both of them fought side by side against the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. The fight was fast and intense for the viewers. Every move mattered because the lives of the hostages were at risk. Daredevil and Swordsman showed strength and skill. The moment made it clear why Wilson Fisk sees them as real threats. It was a moment that gave Duquesne the spotlight he had been waiting for.
