The architecture he captures in the panels is incredible and then seeing it get blown away is insane

[I am reading the DarkHorse issue of Akira. Here 120 chapters are converted into 38 parts. And the sequence of event is mixed up to match the new format. So, I know how many chapters I have read but do not know what part belong to which chapter.]



We finally got to see the true power of Akira due to Nezu's pride not accepting he should give up. I feel sad for Takashi and Sasaki along with everyone else that died from the whole insanity. I have to say the details of the destruction was incredible and mesmerizing. Otomo did an amazing job in drawing these panels of the destruction of Neo-Tokyo. 

Episode 50: Pages 21-37 of volume 4 of the Kodansha publication.



I'm getting heavy Mad Max vibes at this point. I could also see the Fall Out series being heavily inspired by Akira in this sense.
