Best Swordsman ever existed and why.

Eutass said:
GUTS
Strength/Skills:
He defeated 100 men but nearly died in that fight while Mihawk defeated more than 100 men in a war and didn't even get a scratch.
Personality/Character:
Still Guts is incredible as well He doesn't give up despite all of the despair around him, and that willpower is different from the "heart-of-the-cards" willpower that 99% of shounen characters are given. So Ichigo is out of the question
Overall: Mihawk better swordsman

KIRITO
Strength/Skills:
Disappointed in people who even mention him in this thread. During anime, he defeated many people with mere 'power' but his swords skills were sloppy as ever. Also, his 'power' level was reset in the last episode so he is no match.
Personality/Character:
N/A
(Whatever I will say will be against his personality so I don't want to offend you)
Overall: Mihawk better swordsman

TRUNKS
He quited swordsmanship so he should not be considered a swordsman. (Remember his fight with Cell)

ZORO
Strength/Skills:
He is still far from surpassing Mihawk. He can't even use conquering's Haki yet.
Overall: Mihawk better swordsman

CHARACTERS FROM Rurouni Kenshin
If there is someone who has watched both One Piece (at least till 500ep) and Rurouni Kenshin, please tell if there is anyone who can defeat Mihawk...

But I have seen Rurouni Kenshin OVA. Himura, Kenshin is definitely one of the best swordsman. He deserves so many points for his outstanding character but I am afraid he is not so strong to beat Mihawk. (This is just from OVA)

Miyamoto, MUSHASHI
This is an anime discussion page, don't bring Manga

Something about Mihawk I'd like to share:

Conclusion:
He is definitely the best and strongest swordsman ever existed! I think I have given enough proof...

DNyt said:
Erza Scarlet I dont know why I just think she is the best

lupadim said:
Definitely Mihawk.

"Hurr durr, Kirito is faster"

DUDE. KIRITO IS NOT FASTER.

http://youtu.be/uj9hWWLMUOI?t=29s

Can Kirito slice a Buggy in 1000 different parts within 0.5 second?

Kirito dual wields. Nice. Zoro triple wields. And look at Zoro's fight with Mihawk:

http://youtu.be/rmHLTiX5paQ?t=2m8s

Verdict is given. Mihawk is the best.

Willpower that 99% of shounen characters are given. So Ichigo is out of the question

Killer Bee is definitely better than Mihawk though.

Old_Raven said:

Mihawk couldnt even hit Luffy in Gear Second who was a HELL OF A LOT slower than Black★Star in Shadow Star: Third Form - Absolute Shadow. So not only was Mifune fighting a faster opponent, but he was able to land hits as well. Mifune > Mihawk.

Kimp said:


All his blades will be shattered before he even laid a finger on Mihawk.

Ryukatsuka said:
You can't simply 'shatter' durable blades that are infused with Lightning Chakra. Try again.

IntroverTurtle said:
You can with the Yoru(said to be the strongest blade in the One Piece world) infused with a lot of buso haki.

Eutass said:


Indeed. I see you have only watched 100 episodes... You will see more of him in coming 400 episodes...

Most people freeze just by looking in his eyes.

goldslash said:


Well he can beat The Truth of FMA then?? I don't think so.
He's no omnipotent, btw, i dindn't complete the anime, but i know aizen is almost omnipotent.

Is nothing like that... But his eyes are special.
And Haki for you is no power?? So you are wrong.
Mihawk can use BnH, KnH, only not use the Haki of Kings...

So he has some skills to help and improve his sword skills, like Ichigo or another characters have.

Ryukatsuka said:


I fail to see how it being the 'strongest' in the One Piece world purports to it being the 'strongest' everywhere. Mihawk is definitely skilled, no one can deny that, and he might even be able to come out superior in a battle with Killer Bee. But you can't presume a sword fight between them will simply end because of something as superficial as one of their blades shattering, especially when talking about swordsmen of their calliber.

IntroverTurtle said:
I never said it was. That statement was just attesting to it's strength. As far as we know Bee's weapons are made like normal swords in that world. Are you saying that the average Naruto world sword is better than the average One Piece world sword?

I never said their fight would end in their swords shattering. This was a 'what if' scenario, could Mihawk shatter Killer Bee's swords. Bee with his swords and lightning chakra and Mihawk with his sword and haki(possibly even using kenbunshoku to find the best time to shatter them).

Ryougi Shiki, sorry, but my waifu could kick anybody's (Except Inferno Cop) ass. Mystic Eyes of Death Perception OP.

shintai88 said:
Hmmmmmm...... To many.

Best swordsmen Ideally would be the Saint of Swords. Though I doubt many know who that is, since its a Chinese Character.

I could make a quick list:

Himura Kenshin - even before he Learn the Ougi.
Okita Souji - Either Gintama or Other anime versions.
Hijikata Toshizou - Gintama or Others. Especially shura no Toki version.
Musashi - Shura no Toki version.
Two guys from - Shigurui.
Zoro - Guy gets better and better.
Killer Bee - get got mad moves.
Mihawk - Kengo of One Piece World.
Nanashi - Sword of Stranger.
Luolang - Sword of Stranger.
Yagyuu Juubei - Shura no Toki.
Saber - Fate Stay Zero.
Gintoki - Gintama, Guy just fights like a brute, and its awesome.
Guts - Guys sword technique and skills are again insane.

You put Kenshin, but not Hiko Seijuro or Shishio?

Nephiz said:
for real lol, shishio should be in that list and hiko too xD

kanno_ said:

You bet. If Kubo writes the story of Ichigo vs The Truth, it would be revealed that Ichigo actually has the power of God or a descendant of the God itself. Pretty much like the BS in every arc.

kanno_ said:

Haki is power, but it's not superpower. Haki is described as a power can be found in every living being, especially BnH and KnH which are not something special and can be awakened through training. And why did you bring up haki? That has nothing to do with the "not human" or "superpower eyes" like your claim.

Cloud Strife is 'objectvely' the best swords man.


Big god damn sword. Seven goddamn swords.

NOBODY had better looking movies than him ever. No. Body.
That movie was the god of choreography.

goldslash said:
Power but no superpower?? There's a difference??

Btw, well someone said "no power allowed", but put Mihawk's the best.

Autodenial, i don't even need to respond to that. If Mihawk is allowed, Ichigo is too.

And btw, i said "special eyes" and is not fully revealed, that is no power in his eyes(he freezes who look direct into his eyes), like Zoro had "demon/assassin eyes".

But "not human", mean Sanji, Zoro, they are no human, i don't know how u can't understand that...

Mattogen said:
Ruka from Steins;Gate, no doubt about it.

kanno_ said:

Yes, there is. What I meant by superpower is supernatural power, which is some sort of magical ability that transcends what normal people can do, eg: the ability to fly, teleportation, etc. Meanwhile power is... voltage x current.

Maybe he meant "no super power allowed".

Yes I don't understand why human with extraordinary strength can't be human.

Kimp said:


It was Luffy's 'special' ability of replying on people around him. No one but only Mihawk recognizes his ability, which automatically makes him the best. So many people helped Luffy during his fight with Mihawk which were Jinbe, Iva, Vista, Crocodile, Daz Bone, Buggy, etc.

Mr7Beans said:

Not his voice.

Valaskjalf said:


Which one ?

antonn said:

Mmmm.

SlowDancer said:
best swordsman? ichigo. no contest.
why? he kill you just by randomly swinging his blade

yhunata said:


Meh, Kizaru would blind him, blitz him and cut him down with his beam sword within a nano-second.



Nay, Sephiroth's better. It's still amazing that very few movies can come close to the level of animation that SquareEnix brought with FF:AC.

Eutass said:
Oi, goldslash... why do you think Ichigo can beat Mihawk? What proof do you have? And does Ichigo has better personality than him? Prove by picturing the fight....

goldslash said:


UHUHSSUDAHHDSAU BR BR? HDSAISAHI BR BR? (zuera vei, mas esse oi aí é estranho)
Joke...

Well Mihawk does have better personality, he is much more cool than Ichigo's.
But Ichigo is much more powerfull, i don't consider Ichigo's power a superpower, but still is supernatural, like Sanji's kick is supernatural...

I think Mihawk can surpass Ichigo's speed, maybe iff he predict his move with haki and his eye, he don't have the speed to deflect... He cannot do nothing to prevent Ichigo's speed.
And cannot deflect a bunch of Ichigo's attacks.
Also by Ichigo being a Shinigami, he emanes pressure, that put Mihawk in grand pain.

But Mihawk, was one of the bests swordman.

Eutass said:


Well, I have only watched Bleach till episode number 64 so I am not sure how strong he really becomes. But Mihawk can easily beat the Ichigo I know.

You only mentioned speed but have you seen Mihawk's actual speed? Don't underestimate it. Remember how he cut Buggy into so many parts in a mere second.

I don't know as I haven't seen all of Bleach.
But you are the only person who said Ichigo. If Ichigo gets more votes, your statements will become more believable.
