Miyamoto Musashi low-key holding the title in manga and real life

[blackreaper]

I feel like Afro samurai could be up on the list.

[Dizzy]

Once you factor in that Breathing Techniques in Demon Slayer don't actually have magical effects and is just swordplay, it's hard to argue against Yoriichi.

[ianbrumm]

The fact that there is no Unohana here is a crime, she is the most experienced on this list with over 1, 000 years of swordplay.

[teezusthegoat]

Anime sword users are probably some of the coolest characters 😮‍💨⚔️

I'm surprised Kojiro Sasaki from Record of Ragnarok isn't on this list!

[jonathanmanard]

My headcannon is mihawks neck knife is to butter bagels and open small stuff. He did say you don't hunt a rabbit with a cannon so it makes sense

[alexidimitrov]

Dude didn’t include Yoriichi, so that he can cause a scandal and the comment section can make the engagement explode😂

[Macapta]

I'd throw in Assassin from Fate/Stay UBW as an honorable mention next to Saber. He didn't even have a Phantasm, his trump card was just a sword technique he practiced for years which almost took out Saber with.

[joeyng]

Side note on Erza, most of her stuff doesn't exist in a pocket dimension but actual rooms in the fairy tail boarding house, and her telekinesis isn't her ability but rather the ability of the Heaven's wheel armor which can summon and fire off swords.

[Macapta]

Anyone remember Katanagatari? The anti-swordsman.

[Tyraem]

Yu Yu Hakusho’s Very Own OG - Hiei should of been on this List

[jordanjonesc]

This is one of the few videos I’ve seen where Nick mentions Fate so now it’s in my top 5 Nick Videos

[pworld]

Hell yea one piece content slowly coming we need theory’s from somebody who can actually make them bro !! (That person is you)

[StormSage]

Hi. Rurouni Kenshin fan here. Just want to say real fast that Kenshin doesn't use two swords.

I think you mean his sheath. One of Kenshin's more famous attacks involves using the scabbard of his sword as a surprise attack, breaking the arm of his opponent who would think to exploit an opening. Kenshin's speed is also said to be "Godlike" at base and "Beyond Godlike" when using his ultimate attack. Not to mention, every attack in the Hiten Mitsurugi style is designed to be a one shot kill. Especially the Kuzu Ryu Sen which attacks 9 points at once, making it impossible to block.

That said, I would agree that he wouldn't be the best swordsman in anime. Hell I'm just happy Kenshin makes the list.

[Macapta]

Kinda hate how in the One Piece anime Zoros slashes are often treated as blunt or explosive.

He sends a slash across a room then the back wall explodes. I prefer it when it’s a clean slash and objects just slide apart.

[OneoftheCaesars]

I see my girl saber... i click. Im a simple man

[hifty]

a good honorable mention is def Shadow from the eminence in shadow. yeah he has magic, but he only uses magic when his sword is not enough, or wants to be flashy.
