My dad mentioned a scene potentially from a cartoon. He thinks it's Heavy Metal, but I don't agree.

The scene is described as two societies at war (my dad says two separate planets). Rather than going at each other full-scale, each selects a single champion. The following scenes focus entirely on one hero as he trains in multiple forms of combat and is sculpted into a peak physical specimen. On the day the two are set to meet, the hero is boasting of his victory to come while a crowd cheers. Then he is crushed by an opening door of the ship transporting his opponent who steps off the transport and asks where his opponent is.

I'm certain it is not Heavy Metal.

Doesn't sound like anything I've seen in Heavy Metal.

It obviously puts off an air of parody. So I'd assume it's either a comical cartoon or a lead-in to a not-so-serious animated movie.

It has the Heavy Metal vibe, so I can understand why your dad would think it was from that movie. But it's not in any of the similar 70's-80's adult cartoons I can think of. Fire&Ice, Wizards, etc. Any idea how long ago this film/cartoon might have been watched? 10 years? 20?

Well, the earliest I ever saw Heavy Metal, that was like 20 years ago. Since my dad assumes it was Heavy Metal, I would guess this scene he's picturing was from something around that time. Then again, his memories not always reliable.
