When you hear the words black swordsman, which character comes to your mind? How do you feel when people refer to the other character by this nickname?

honestly more remember kirito as black swordsman because he's more recent and many don't really read berserk like that because cause its kinda hard to get into but it will always be guts since he had the nickname first if im right

I think of Kirito since I do not think of Guts as the black swordsman. Guts' sword can barely even be called one since it is a giant clump of metal, and Guts uses more than just his giant sword to fight.

i have been on mal for about one year and i hadn't seen this thread. But i did have a hunch that this thread has certainly been made before. But still.

well, that's ok, of course we would have copies from time to time.
I say kirito-kun is the true black swordsman because if I say otherwise it would just mean that I am biased towards miura

My first thought was Guts when I saw the title, but maybe that's because I remember Kirito better as the beater.

Sword Art Online > Berserk
Kirito > Guts
Asuna > Casca
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

The character that always comes to mind is Kirito. I didn't know that Guts is also called the black swordsman.

Obviously Guts, it's not to throw hatred at Kirito, but I never liked the latter (although I liked it in the Alicization arc), although Guts was also called the "killer of 100 men", and that one suits him much better. true for me.

Oh Guts is but a whiny ass loser who can't come close to the level of badassery and manliness that is Kirito.

About 60% of the time I think of Guts first, the other 40% of the time I think of Yasuke, although that might be specifically because of the Yasuke anime that just came out so his name is fresh in my mind, I might go back to just thinking of Guts in a few months once I forget Yasuke even got an anime made about him.

You are comparing a well written, complex and tragic character, who literally inspired DOOMSLAYER into existence and eaenee that title, to an edgy, whimpy Mary Sue nerd, who uses it as a name tag.

That's an insult to Guts.

It's gonna be my boy Afro, or Guts.
The latter deserves that title imo

You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road.
It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it?
I'm sure you'll overcome this.

Both of them. Guts is Berserk's Black Swordsman and Kirito is SAO's Black Swordsman. There's no need to put them in factions.

I ironically voted Kirito only to be surprised by the number of people who (hopefully also ironically) voted for the loser.

There can only be one, put your grasses on and see it's obviously Gattsu. The title should actually be retired from any other character with the audacity to use it.

My mind automatically went to Kirito. Specifically the version from SAO ABRIDGED. Anyone else? Just me? Lol

Guts of course, Kirito can't even compare....
Kirito uses exploits of a game too much, an exploit skill nobody else can use. (exploit skill: Dual-Wielding)
Kirito's a bonafide cheater beater unlike Guts
