[Discussion] Greatest Swordsman in Anime?

[Rokudaime Hokage Naruto]

So basically who do you think is the greatest swordsman.

By this I mean disregarding strength but based solely on swordplay.

I.e Ichigo is stronger than Zoro, but I think Zoro's basic swordplay abilities is better.


From what I've seen - Killer Bee gets my vote.

What say you?

 

[SasukeUchiha910]

jin and mugen

 

[Aoihime]

Swordsman? Any powerful soulreaper takes this U_U

 

[YellowFang]

If Zoro's in the talk then,
Right now it's

Dracule Mihawk...

 

[Kαmi]

Battousai the Manslayer aka Kenshin Himura!

 

[Cauzing]

Devil May Cry has an animation. So it's Dante followed by Vergil U_U

 

[xcoyote]

Nanashi
Luo Lang
Killer Bee
Sara
Kariya


are the best in my opinion,from what i have seen.

#1 definitely KB,with Sara second close.

 

[Magatsu Izanagi]

Himura Kenshin.

 

[Solog0d]

I also vote B

 

[Xēnovia.]

Izou .

[Kαmi]

There are too many damn swordsmen in anime If Trunks from DBZ counts, he may be the best ._.

 

[ayesha161]

Tapion .

 

[Gitch]

Ill go with Zoro Santoryou style

 

[The Masked Sage]

ichigo, aizen, gin, shunsui, yamamoto, kenpachi, and pretty much all the over 9000 characters in bleach are good.

 

[Sentinel of Light Style]

If it's purely swordplay, it's gotta be Bee. Let's see all those other suckers handle 7 swords at once.

 

[Bimbonium]

Ichigo's response and reflexes are superb.

 

[Nebula]

Battousai the manslayer.

 

[Hexuze]

From the series that I watch...

OP -> Mihawk/Shanks/Law, Mihawk effortlessly sliced the top of a frozen tsunami. Shanks, we don't know much yet but his clash with WB caused the sky to split in half. Law sliced a couple mountains, SAD factory & full body armament haki Vergo in half.

Toriko -> Probably Joa I guess, her knife (Cinderella) stopped those massive tsunami's & storms that were caused by Jirou were stopped in one swing. However it wasn't really swordsmanship, just the power of that sword/knife.

HxH -> I don't think there's really impressive swordplay in HxH. Perhaps feitan?

Edit: Oh, you mean just swordsmanship? Killer Bee probably got this and Zoro.

Bleach charactes take up all the top spots
