The "J Top Lists" - "Swordsman" Top List

Hey guys!



I´m here with another Top List, this time with the best  (to me) sword users in anime/manga and cartoons. Rules here are: Any character that uses a sword or more even if is a mercenary, ninja or a soldier. He has to use a sword, simple as that.



Guts (Beserk)
His skills in battle are truly unmatched. Even when struck down and all seems hopeless, he'll find a way to fight back against the tendrils of fate. If a demon stands ready to finish Guts off, he'll take his daughter hostage and use that to his advantage. He may not be some knight of valor and honor, but his dirty swordplay is what makes him akin to even the most powerful of celestial beings. He dares to strike back against fate and presumes to kill a god who was once his friend. Add that to a magical suit of armor which transforms him into a relentless beast of the night and you have possibly the most powerful man in any lore.

Guts may not have magic, video game powers, ki etc but there one thing he has more of than any of these other fighters, determination. If you compare Guts story to the others on this list I doubt that many would be able to come out of it as well as Guts did and he's a broken Badass. Guts is a hardened soldier who has lived his entire life fighting, whether it's humans, monsters or apostles Guts has always had some form of challenge that he has overcome. He has survived wounds that would make a shonen protagonist cringe and has fought monsters that would normally be considered big bads all their own as if they were nothing but mooks. When he was just a man he could cleave through walls of demon flesh and with his berserker armor he can destroy anything in his way.


Kenshin Himura (Ruronin Kenshin)
When it comes down to swordsman, we find a single strike can be fatal. the ultimate technique for kenshin is basically the manifested will to live. with this will to live, he will with a speed surpassing the gods, never be killed. assuming he were to have the will to kill, which I certainly believe if it came down to it he would kill, there is no one better. he can dodge absolutely any attack while simultaneously striking with speed faster than the gods. on top of all this, his technique is impeccable in all standards. speed, agility, timing, intelligence, experience, all are on his side.

His flawless swordmanship and his ability to evaluate every battle he ends up in in to create a plan in almost an instant is why he is the best anime swordsman. He holds expert skill in every aspect of being a swordsman; he has the speed, the skill, the power, the evaluation skills, the mentality, and not to mention a vast array of techniques which ensures that no matter who or what he finds himself up against, he has a trump card for them all.


Gintoki (Gintama)
Even if he is a joke parody swordsman he is a very strong samurai, capable of defeating or outright killing opponents with just a wooden sword. He has been shown to be highly charismatic, capable of drawing people just by his words alone. He also has a very humorous side which most anime swordsmen don't have which sets him apart entirely from everyone. While acting stupid and idiotic for most of the time, he has shown to have a loving and care side for which he doesn't show very often.

Not just for his swordsmanship and originality for a main protagonist, but for for his morals. Though he acts like an idiot a lot of the time he really does know what he is doing and what needs to be fought for. Selfless, brave, skilled, and strong are just a few words to describe this samurai with a soul of silver.


Jubei Kibagami (Ninja Schroll)
Jubei is probably the best fighter of his era. His skill with a katana as well as his quick thinking have allowed his to take on powerful superhuman opponents as well armies of ninja and to top it all off he is almost always able to walk away unscathed. His aside from his weapon mastery his most impressive ability is his iaijutsu technique that allows him to draw his blade so fast that it actually send razor sharp shockwaves a fairly good distance.

Jubei is not only deadly because of his skills with a sword but also his quick thinking and tactical genius. In game terms he is often able to Dupe superior opponents into making fatal errors on which he can capitalize. He is also highly perceptive as well making it difficult for opponents to get the drop on him.He will often lay back or even full on dodge against more powerful opponents and wait for the right right opportunity to attack or he may dupe them into making a mistake and capitalize on it.


Goemon (Lupin The Thirth)
He appears in many Lupin the 3rd video games, as well as he does in the manga, and anime. His sword, an antique bamboo blade, has been passed around in his family for generations. It can cut anything in half with a quick chop, from a lettuce head, to a giant bridge. He is also a disciple of Lupin III and aids him on many heists. He doesnt speak much, but his words are very powerful and he is a very wise man.

As his name suggests, he is the thirteenth generation descendant of legendary Japanese thief Ishikawa Goemon.


Dante (Devil May Cry)
Dante is never seen without his trademark handguns Ebony and Ivory and his been known to use a wide variety of Devil Arms (read: the soul of a demon turned into a weapon) which include the three swords that himself and Vergil inherited from Sparda, the Force Edge (later becoming the Sparda Sword), the Rebellion and the Yamato.

To have devil blood flowing through one’s veins is to be blessed with heightened power, endurance and special abilities. Dante has been seen toying with launched rockets acrobatically, reacting nonchalantly to being shot in the head and mouth and suffer gaping blade wounds in the abdomen only to rise through and out of the sword (loosing an incredible amount of blood), instantly regenerating organs, skin and blood and walk away without a second thought.


Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)
Erza is literally the best swordsman ever, and NEVER underestimate her because she is a girl. She uses a magic ability called "Requip" which means she has weapons stored in another dimension that she can pull out at any time. But she has her own one of a kind ability. She can also "requip" her armor to give her power boosts, healing boosts, speed boosts, and much more. Her armor is used to protect her from any type of magic. One of her requips, "Heavens Wield," summons as many swords as she wants, and attacks her enemies with them. She is honestly the best character for a swordsman and has a great backstory too.

She has so many armors and can conjure over one hundred swords, she needs to be higher on this list.With Armor and weapons infinite, and the ability to control hundreds of full size swords simultaneously, Erza Scarlet is the embodiment of a badass swordswoman, proving not only men can look great swinging a sword.

Genji (Overwatch)
If you've got a bit of a soft spot for ninjas, swords and shuriken-flinging, then we think you're going to get a pretty big kick out of getting stuck into Genji. This mysterious and deadly Hero can be used to field a truly intimidating assassin onto any map, but we have to say you're going to need very sharp reflexes indeed if you want to make a significant impact with this Hero on the battlefield.

Not only is Genji a dab-hand at dishing out damage, he also possesses some exceptional mobility skills in battle thanks to his passive ability. This allows him to both clamber up walls and also do a double-jump whenever he's taken to the air. This sort of acrobatics, combined with his razor-sharp weaponry, allows a very skilled player to absolutely terrorise the opposing team, as Genji races between targets and tears each one to shreds in the blink of an eye.

Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)
He presents something the manga world has lacked. Ever since Vegeta from DBZ, every badass charachter has been following his steps and scenario that Toriyama had made so original. Zoro was someone that finally brought some originality: he didn't need any dark past of immense pain, he doesn't need to be the rival of the main protagonist. He does what he wants when he wants and still he has an equal footing with the main character, still is considered the number 2 of the series and is still considered the reincarnation of... Badass.

One Piece is the most famous Manga/Anime of all time, so its obvious that the most bad-ass swordsman in One Piece is going to be the number one swordsman of all time. His tough guy character, his 3 sword trademark, the first mate of the most famous Manga/Anime team, His legendary moment of risking his life to save his captain. All hail, the soon to be Strongest Swordsman of all time.

Qrow Brawnen (RWBY)
In a world where every weapon is also a gun and a lot of hunters use them, Qrow Brawnen is one of the best around, his sword unlinke other weapons is 3 in 1, Sword that can also turn to a scythe (the strongest form of the weapon) and also in a shotgun. It been said that he uses magic with his guns but we will have to see and has a lot of bad luck. Crows do bring bad fortune for some XD
