| If someone who uses their penis to battle with other guy's penises is considered a swordsman, then I'm one of the best. |

pLaguE_ said: The_Deadly_Tikka said: hmm how about trunks? Goku stopped him with a finger > he sucks. In his defense, Goku's finger would do a whole lot worse to nearly everyone else listed. Also, this thread needs some Shingeki no Kyojin in it, so I'll throw Mikasa's name in the mix. |
| Makoto Itou from School Days if we're talking about the only "sword" that really matters. |

| Guts cut 5 people in half with a single slash, that already puts him above the rest in my eyes. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

geralt said: Guts cut 5 people in half with a single slash, that already puts him above the rest in my eyes. What about Hiko Seijuro? He can make 9 attacks within a fraction of a second. The said attack is impossible to block or dodge (unless you're Soujiro, though I doubt even he can dodge Hiko's KuzuRyuSen). |

DrGeroCreation said: Dark_Chaos said: There was nothing skillful about that. Kenshin literally spun in the air. Kirito is just generic slash, slash, slash Kenshin actually has different techniques. Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki > Starburst StreamDrGeroCreation said: Dark_Chaos said: Can Kirirto pull off a badass combo like this @ 16:28DrGeroCreation said: LOL Inuyasha, Kirito arethe best swordsmen? People seriously need to watch Rurouni Kenshin here. Seen it, doesn't change my mind. Kirito doesn't even need his Jesus powers. Starburst Stream bitches! I thought we were judging based on power and combo count. Variety doesn't exactly mean much when you're lacking in power in my opinion. That's like having all the elemental attacks including your opponents greatest weakness, yet you have an attack power of 5 where he has an attack power of 20. |

| I go with Kenshin Himura. Since I was little, I've always thought his skills with sword are nothing from this world. I admire him a lot, so yeah, I think he's the best swordsman that ever existed. Oh, and I completely forgot about Aoshi Shinomori. He's quite amazing too. |

| The responses to this thread are hilariously stupid. Dark Schneider's dick is stronger than any Anime swordsman. Just keepin it real m8. |

There's a reason why the only serious fight he ever got into (that was properly shown in the series) ended in him curbstomping a freaking giant that was 100x his size (saying something, considering how huge he is himself). |

| As strong as Kenshin is, could he have won against Shishio if he wasn't all burnt up? Or for that matter, could he have beaten Sojiro if the kid hadn't gone all emotional? Anyway, though I'm quite fond of the swordsmen in the Type-Moon franchise like Saber, Archer, and Shirou, my favorite swordsman is probably Guts, because Berserk is awesome and his character is great. |

JabonHR said: As strong as Kenshin is, could he have won against Shishio if he wasn't all burnt up? Or for that matter, could he have beaten Sojiro if the kid hadn't gone all emotional? I don't think he would have won, had Shishio not been all burnt up. And technically, their battle ended in a draw. If Sojiro hadn't gone all emotional, he would've been faster than Kenshin, so Kenshin's Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki wouldn't have hit him in the first place (meaning it would be Kenshin's loss). |
|
DrGeroCreation said: I'll admit Kenshin has far more skill, that much is obvious after seeing Kirito's Kendo fight against Suguha. That and Kirito is a 17 year old NEET anyway. In any case, I don't want to be repeating myself, so I'll leave it at that. I've said what I've said, you've said what you've said, I'm not budging, you're not budging, so yeah. |
|
| bleach byakuya After immobilizing an opponent, he can call in the other blades to hit them while they are trapped. He can also use all the blades at once for one immensely powerful strike. I guess he can kill mihawk or Guts blink of an eye |
 |
| lololololololol Kirito? Inuyasha?? Kenshin??? Hawk-Eyes???? You all dont know shit. My vote goes to Soul Eater's Mifune, aka the Sword God Power:

Well, I was just talking about how their battles would've gone at that time. If we were to take a stand from their prime, I would rate Kenshin below only Hiko Seijuro, then Shishio and then Soujiro (why the fuck are all their names starting with an S?) |
|
| if we can pick a character with superpowers then all the ones mentioned are weak, Kami Tenchi can cut through the universe, beat that |
 |
JabonHR said: I like Shishio A LOT MORE but I believe if Kenshin was fresh (hadn't fought anyone before fighting Shishio), had a real sword not a reverse blade sword he would of been able to kill Shishio with Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki . Shishio to me wasn't as fast as Kenshin, Soujiro however was faster than him except when he used Ama Kakeru Ryu. Soujiro would of won if he had a sword made by Shaku Arai like Kenshin's and Shishio's swords.As strong as Kenshin is, could he have won against Shishio if he wasn't all burnt up? |

Old_Raven said: lololololololol Kirito? Inuyasha?? Kenshin?? Hawk-Eyes????? You all dont know shit. My vote goes to Soul Eater's Mifune, aka the Sword God. Hawk-Eyes can cut through an ice wall, sure, but Mifune can make a goddamn bubble shield entirely of swords. soul eater fanboy detected...that guy wasn't that strong. |
 |
| if no super powers are allowed then here pick your best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAOavSQNWxM |
|
| If it comes just to skill with the sword, I would say Nanashi from Sword of the stranger or maybe Jin or Mugen from Samurai Champloo. Sure, Guts is powerful, but his power doesn't come from skill with the sword, the thing is so huge it can barely be called a sword anyway - just a giant slab of metal. |
zoropp said: zoro>mihawk? Not yet my friend.. Already surpassed...When we kills DoFlamingo u'll see. |
OriginANIME said: Trunks from Dragon ball Z. He may have lost to Goku's finger, but he would beat anyone else from any other series. Didn't he always broke his sword in every fight lol? Anyway I'm surprised nobody said anything about Gintoki. He destroyed many enemies with a wooden sword. |
  |
| Kenshin is really good, but you guys are forgetting Hiko Seijuro. He's easily the strongest character in the Kenshinverse (the author himself has said so), he just doesn't generally give a fuck about what happens around him, hence why he doesn't take an active part in the Revolution, or in the fight against Shishio (until really late). |
| I think Fuhrer Bradley from FMA:B is best swordsman I've seen technique and skill wise. |
 |
| Gilgamesh - annihilated an army w/ a slash.....i think most of bleach characters are very OP |
fst said: How 'bout that white guy from Sword of the Stranger? ....umm?? Can't tell if trolling. Idk who's the best, though it would be interesting to find out, but Mugen is def the most entertaining. Other ones I like are King of Knights in Fate/Zero and Sharrkan from Magi. They're not as brutal and badass as ones listed, but still like them. Are there many swordsmen out there with a lot of finesse in anime? |
| I wouldn't say that skill with just normal weapons could make you the best swordsman, Shichika is just going to fuck your swords up. |
| Your all wrong Shiki Ryougi beats all (yes I know she uses a dagger, but that's because with a sword it would be to easy), she can cut literally anything and kill immortals. edit Actually really surprised no one mentioned her yet |

| If we're talking about power here, one would only need mention this guy's name to end this discussion. Skill wise though.......Eh, I'll give that to either Kenshin or Mihawk just because. |
 |
JumpinJackFlash said: Ha! True skill is being able to kill someone with a tiny little sword.Probably Guts from Berserk, with his huge-ass sword. Zorro is therefore the awesomest swordsman ever. |
| Okay i'm no fan of Bleach... But Ichigo it's the most powerful swordman, cuz he is vasto lord... And any other opponent cannot survive the pressure... They can't even follow his speed. Btw, people(not me, i don't even watched full anime) consider Bleach the most overpower in the Big Three(such a gay expression)... Neither Guts, Inuyasha or Saber(idk iff the ultimate attack of she can bet him)... So, i really think(not fanboy of bleach here, just being straight), Ichigo is the most powerfull. |
| Thread Cleaned A little happy my request back on page 2 yielded discussion results. Go MAL~! |
| Ishikawa Goemon XIII No one is better at cutting worthless objects than that man. |

| If we're talking the sword alone, and nothing to do with character development/personality/plot/preference... as most of us already know, Hiko Seijuro is a Kenshin that has more strength, more experience in Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, and killing intent. He has his name stamped on Rurouni Kenshin. Vagabond and Sword of the Stranger also deserve a mention for being raw. Sasaki Kojiro and Nanashi have some impressive skill display. Power... well, anything supernatural/super-power would have an advantage, so I don't really want to get into that. |
| Depends on how you mean the best. A couple characters from One Piece have been shown to cut in half some large things. Mihawk a huge ice berg and Law basically a mountain(though Law was helped by his fruit). |
