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?

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

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

Ichigo's response and reflexes are superb.

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.
