Zorro may be good but there is one that overcomes all other swordsman.

Kenshin Himura is that dude aka. Hitokiri Batousai.

He'd stomp these swordsman:
- Kambei (samurai 7)
- Hawkeyes (One Piece)
- etc....

Himura Kenshin! specially by the time he was still the hitokiri battousai, no mercy!

Mukiwara
01-04-2011, 06:51 PM
well it's a tie, between ronoroa zoro and kenshin himura

01-04-2011, 07:30 PM
I havent seen a lot of anime but i did watch Rurouni Kenshin... so I am gonna go with Kenshin Himura (until I find someone better... if thats possible) lol

Shigure.:) from kenichi.:)

She can make almost anything as a sword.:))

Rasen Oh
01-04-2011, 08:12 PM
Best formally trained swordsmen are Kenshin and Saber (fate/stay night)
Best (mainly) self-taught swordsmen are Archer (fate/stay) and Kamina ('cause nothings complete without ttgl or k-on)

I can't decide from this...

Shigure from Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi
Motoko Aoyama from Love Hina
Shiina from Angel Beats
Saber from Fate/Stay Night

Well I am more biased towards the female swordswomen, so you don't see any males in mine haha.

uaexsaif
01-06-2011, 01:51 PM
Hawkeyes Mihawk from one piece without a doubt :P

CrazyMe
01-07-2011, 08:32 AM
I think it's yamamoto takeshi of KHR

riichanhime
01-07-2011, 08:35 AM
kenshin (samurai x)
and also takeshi (khr)
kakkoi ne.~ ^^

Mourdy
01-07-2011, 10:03 AM
Shunsui Kyoraku ^__^ and the way he fights closely its not too unrealistic

request1100
01-07-2011, 10:43 PM
Of course, the Hitokiri Battousai Kenshin Himura...still the best!!
and also Mugen from Samurai Champloo...

pikel
01-07-2011, 11:36 PM
LOL, I'm about to go a little odd here, but I have to say either Killer Bee from Naruto, or Mifune from Soul Eater. Killer Bee fluently uses 8 swords at once... which is hard to top. While Mifune tosses out like 50 swords at once and uses multiple swords for a multitude of attacks!

RORONOA ZORRO in one piece coz im very amazed how can he managed his swords when he is in a battle

01-08-2011, 12:27 AM
I think everyone's forgetting someone... KENPACHI!!!

Kyou010
01-08-2011, 01:06 AM
well, Assassin (fate/stay) would be the best swordsman for me. achieving nearly impossible stokes w/out using magic

Shibbeh
01-11-2011, 06:53 AM
hardest question ever... id say either afro or kenshin

dexy024
01-11-2011, 07:06 AM
afro is a brutal one...
but for meh, RONOROA ZORRO is the best :D

Tobimaru
01-11-2011, 07:17 AM
I watched Samurai X again, I guess batusai is really the best. Or maybe its still mihawk

crimson21
01-31-2011, 12:19 AM
Shana and Dracule Mihawk hehe

Pure power.

fufufu
01-31-2011, 04:51 AM
MIHAWK !!! (one piece) cos he can cut mountains in one strike :D
but he's not da very best thou. . =)

lonesoul
01-31-2011, 04:51 AM
is ff7 included? cause i'd go for cloud strife!! hahaha. . .nobody can beat cloud's CGness. . .and maybe sephiroth as well. . .

Himura Kenshin, all the way. His battle-style & technique is awesome, and its the only style that its user's is speed is almost god-like, desu...

Novus
02-20-2011, 06:31 AM

02-21-2011, 12:52 AM
i did say for me is
Kenshin Himura from Samurai X

chimaera02
02-21-2011, 01:14 AM
Roronoa Zorro of One Piece and Saber of Faith Stay Night

o0oabhie
02-21-2011, 01:45 AM
I only have one person in my mind who's going to be the Best Swordsman and will Surpass Mihawk. well it's obvious.

Roronoa Zoro! Hell yeah~

nodame10
02-21-2011, 02:49 AM

I only chose 4,
Hitokkiri Battousai or Kenshin Himura
Saber (Fate/Stay Night)
Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail)
Black Rock Shooter? LUL

mokochan013
03-08-2011, 10:36 AM
kenshin is the best
i doubt if anyone can beat his swordsmanship. . .

BlahBleh22
03-09-2011, 12:02 AM
First person that came to my mind was Zoro from One Piece!!!
Probably because i am having a One Piece craving at the moment and he is like my most favorite character from the whole series =P

uloveme
03-09-2011, 04:24 AM
Takeshi Yamamoto of Hitman Reborn and cloud strife of final fantasy :D

shiki tohno!! even though he only uses a knife...he can kill you in an instant!! hahaha

EvilSnowman
03-10-2011, 12:53 AM
Yamamoto Takeshi from Katekyo HItman Reborn cuz his Shigure Soen Ryu is INVINCIBLE AND SECOND TO NONE!

clipse026
03-10-2011, 01:46 PM
Definitely Kenshin. Jin and Mugen have a say as well.

triniman15
03-10-2011, 01:54 PM
The best swordsman for me is Kenpachi Zaraki. Pure aggressive fighting style

MioAkiyama
03-11-2011, 07:55 AM
lol soul eater madness i do like their drawing and sword play :3
also on how death holds his guns freakin AWESOMENESS O___O
anyways

Kunieda Aoi - omigash have you seen the concrete building that was sliced using a wooden sword?
OMG NO
moving on ~

Kanzaki Kaori - i just love your katana its so long and slender #F

Hildegarde - nuff said

2 that i mentioned is from beezlebub and one is from to aru majutsu no index :3

I FORGOT SOMEONE OMIGAHD

avalon3
03-17-2011, 03:51 AM
Yamamoto Takeshi and Superbi Squalo - Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Rurouni Kenshin - Samurai X
Zorro - One Piece
Kanbei - Samurai 7
Mifune - Soul Eater
Shana - Shakugan no Shana ; lol don't know why
Black Star- Soul Eater
Seto San - Seto no Hanayome ; though she rarely holds a sword, she's said to be good at it :D
Any one who holds excalibur in Soul eater :))

KYO of Samurai Deeper Kyo..
watch this anime.. it's an awesome one

terbx04
03-17-2011, 09:23 PM
Can be swordswoman....i want erza scarlet....at the fairy tail....the fast requiper..and many magic swords and spears..i think no one beat my erza...:D

Penance
03-17-2011, 11:42 PM
Guts. From Berserk. His personality, skill, raw strength, resourcefulness, and perseverance trumps all. Plus the Berserker armor kinda makes him unstoppable.

Also, if you consider that Devil May Cry got an anime, Dante is damn near unkillable too. I'd have to say they are the top two.

Harm17
03-18-2011, 12:45 AM
I have in mind is RORONOA ZORRO [One Piece]

Shinrai
03-18-2011, 01:06 AM
Roronoa Zoro - One Piece
Kenshin Himura - Samurai X

Purely Sword Techniques. Epic Sword Style.

EvilSnowman
03-18-2011, 01:20 AM
Archer from Fate/Stay Night with his Unlimited Blade Works which is a torrent of blades and Yamamoto Takeshi from Katekyo Hitman Reborn with his Shigure Soen Ryu which is perfect and second to none coupled with the Rain Flames

Isn't Shiki Tohno an assasin and not a swordsman?

chico2850
03-18-2011, 03:49 AM
Thats easy!.. It would be Kenshin from Samurai-X..^^ The swordsmanship is flawless and precise.. The swordsmanship scenes are epic and most of all is its story line is solid..

jomarbass
04-04-2011, 04:46 AM
I think i will choose:

~ Mihawke from One pice
~ Roronoa Zoro from One piece
~ kanda yuu from D.Gray-man

Hidekiyuki

For me, kenshin himura and saber...^_^

Ironguard05
04-10-2011, 09:52 PM
Of all the anime scenes regarding swordplay, samurai X OVA series is the best because their moves are almost realistic, natural moves used by a swordsman are also applied here, the other rest mentioned are 2nd to my pick and unrealistic. Clashing of steel forged blades are cool too.

Onepiece4eve
04-11-2011, 05:15 PM
For me it's , roronoa zorro from one piece!!! XD

deathcherry
04-13-2011, 01:20 AM
For me Kenshin Himura aka Battousai. I forgot the kind of style he has but its very admirable of him to use the other edge of his sword when fighting his opponents. A cool person indeed! *nods XD

glaze
04-13-2011, 01:36 AM
Uchiha Sasuke from Naruto Shippuuden..~!
XD

I second this! Sasuke is the best swordsman aside from being the hottest ninja!

gammanumeric
04-13-2011, 09:42 AM
I thought I've seen a similar thread somewhere but anyways
Why wield a FINITE number of sword while you can have INFINITE swords
for me it would be
WARNING: This is an spoiler
Heroic Spirit Emiya with UNLIMITED BLADEWORKS
ever red Fate/Zero
The person who owns all of the treasure and heroic weapon in the world
Gilgamesh with FULL SCALE GATES OF BABYLON(not the one that he uses in the anime that is just 25% of the power of the gate)http://www.google.com.ph/imglanding?q=unlimited+blade+works&um=1&hl=tl&sa=N&tbm=isch&tbnid=oU0auwRE8VdP5M:&imgrefurl=http://anime.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/526323/&imgurl=http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/526323-bigthumbnail.jpg&w=450&h=281&ei=qKelTZeANoSavgOYoviZCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&oei=iaelTYmZGIamuAOg9vD1CA&page=4&tbnh=120&tbnw=192&start=37&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:37&biw=1024&bih=598http://www.google.com.ph/imglanding?q=gates+of+babylon+gilgamesh&um=1&hl=tl&tbm=isch&tbnid=L02D51xZ4P8RDM:&imgrefurl=http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php%253F106781-Dissidia-Literary&imgurl=http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg285/shirou210/Gilgamesh/Gilgamesh1GateofBabylon.jpg&w=800&h=600&ei=J6elTfP0L4-WvAPNoO3uCA&zoom=1&iact=hc&oei=J6elTfP0L4-WvAPNoO3uCA&page=1&tbnh=127&tbnw=169&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0&biw=1024&bih=641

Redwing808
04-15-2011, 11:23 PM
For me, it would be Saber and Archer of Fate/Stay Night and Saya (?) of Blood Plus

Viletomb2010
04-16-2011, 05:57 AM
I prefer classic animes for swordsmanship. I will go for Kenshin HImura from Samurai X. He can defeat other swordsman in no time.

forecast
04-16-2011, 09:18 AM
I would say Yasuri Shichika(since im watching katanagatari now) but kenshin himura is cooler and stronger for me.

LordKaname
04-16-2011, 11:01 AM
Kenshin(samurai X),Zorro(one piece) afro samurai!

88ayanami
04-16-2011, 11:16 AM
Saber from Fate/Stay Night
Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin
Ishikawa Goemon XIII from Lupin III ^^

lemonsquare
04-17-2011, 05:52 AM
I would definitely choose... Kenshin Himura.
There's an arc I remember that he became blind but then manage to win against a strong opponent!

Whooooooo. hehehe. He's super awesome. :D

YanoStifler
04-17-2011, 06:44 AM
it'll be kenshin himura.
but my favorite would be Yamamoto Takeshi :3

fangstriker
04-17-2011, 09:58 AM
How about Hiraga Saito from Zero no Tsukaima?
if not, then maybe....
Erza Scarlett!

Especially when she wields 4 swords using her hands and feet

vanguard
04-18-2011, 07:29 AM
Dracule Mihawk. The strongest, probably.

elarme
05-04-2011, 02:16 AM
Rourini Kenshin A.K.A. Hitokiri Battousai is by far no.1 amongst all, for the soul reason; he resembles the closest to being the most realistic swordsman ever made in anime. no special powers that sends spirit waves, no getsuga tenshou and sh*t. just a plain old sword perfectly wielded by a perfectly honed samurai.

"Amakikirou Rehiouno Hirimeki" dont know the exact spelling but that was by far his strongest move as far as i could remember. it definitely owns getsuga tenshou.(by name) lol.

hikari89miku
05-04-2011, 02:45 AM
Saber - Fate/stay night
Yamamoto Takeshi - Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Squalo - Katekyo Hitman Reborn

^.^

Night blade
05-04-2011, 08:41 PM
soo yea zaraki kempachi *spelling may be off*
zoro (1 peice)
Hawkeyes *same as above*

maho tsukai
05-05-2011, 12:32 AM
the swordsmans that you chose will surely lose at this swordsmans.....
-yamamoto takeshi(katekyo hitman reborn)
-yagyu jubei(hyaka ryuran samurai girls)

erste21
05-06-2011, 07:29 AM
A swordsman is someone who is skilled in the use of swords and not someone who just wield a sword for decoration or just uses it as projectile weapon. Since I haven't seen all animes yet Kenshin Himura is the best for now. He's strong because of his skills and NOT because of his sword(others just got strong because their sword possesses powers ^_^).

sachiakina19
05-06-2011, 03:16 PM
yeah kenshin himura. needless to say.

MCoftheD
05-06-2011, 03:34 PM
Well my favorite would be Laharl, but hes just more of epically overpowered then just being good with a sword. So it would Probably be Kenshin.

Ranjazz
05-06-2011, 03:47 PM
The guy grom Gintama is also good, he's an idiot but he's good :P
and kyo from samurai deeper kyo? and guts from berserk offcourse! 1000 man slayer

CHRiSSx
05-30-2011, 01:55 PM
I'd go with Hawkeye in One piece ! ü

Yami Tenshi
05-30-2011, 02:42 PM
That would depend... Best as in skill or as in efectivness? Or may it be most favorite ?
Skills: Assasin (fate/stay)
Effectivness: Manji (Mugen no Juunin)
Favorite: That would be Manji too

Lightning11
06-01-2011, 10:28 AM
I think Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail...

lemonrose
06-01-2011, 10:38 AM
is final fantasy included???? how about Cloud??

yelafela
06-01-2011, 11:48 AM
#3 Goemon Ishikawa of "lupin the III" (love how he execute his moves, though impossible)

#2 Kenshin Himura of "samurai x" (one of the epic characters of anime, but somehow does unrealistic moves)

#1 Jin of "samurai champloo" (love his moves & speed.. doesn't use any powers, teleports or jumps 2 story buildings high, for me this is the coolest & realistic anime samurai character i've seen so far.. been searching for this kind)

few years ago, I might have chosen batousai for #1, who knows i might discover another great samurai anime character..

Nonchalant
06-01-2011, 03:47 PM
I'm going to have to say Kenshin Himura aka, Battosai or Gintoki Sakata from Gintama. I haven't watched enough of Samurai Anime to actually determine anyone else that's good, so....yeahhh.

karmawine
06-02-2011, 01:55 PM
I think it's yamamoto takeshi ...

catalyst21
06-02-2011, 04:28 PM
Sorry to break your egg shells guys but in the world of sword fighting those who can use as many as they can and use it properly will be the most effective of them all...
1.Mifune from Soul Eater (50-100 swords)
2.Killer Bee from Naruto (8 swords)
3.Roronoa Zoro from One Piece (3 swords)
4.Saeko Busujima (come on she can fight a horde of rotting zombies even thouggh shes naked,awesome!)

Kenshin Himura hands down.... He has to be the best

Kenshi Himura is like classic. I think he is very strong

Zabuza from Naruto
Kenpachi from Bleach
Zoro from One Piece
and Gintoki from Gintama

07-22-2011, 01:57 PM
Best swordman or swordmaiden would be::
>Zoro [One Piece]
>Hawkeyes [One Piece]
>Saber [Fate/Stay night]

saimaanime
08-08-2011, 05:34 AM
zoro( one piece) and zabuza ( naruto)

GlennChrono
12-14-2011, 09:00 PM
For me, no.1 is still Kenshin. Nuf said.

As for 2nd, I have a hard time deciding between Archer and Saber from Fate/stay. I like Archer because his technique is from his hard training, whil Saber because she's a good knight with excellent sense of justice.

Juuri
12-14-2011, 09:05 PM
Gintoki, Gintama
Kurosaki Ichigo, Bleach
Zaraki Kenpachi, Bleach
Zoro, One Piece

12-14-2011, 10:05 PM
wow.... kenshin himura should be the number one pick for this.. let's just say everyone else is a copy of himura XD

12-17-2011, 09:07 AM
It should be Shichika Yasuri from Katanagatari. He's a swordless swordsman. Get it? That's why he is the best 'swordsman' there is.

Apoloniac
12-17-2011, 11:26 PM
Screw Zorro and Kenshin(No offense, I like Kenshin and respect Zorro), Gintoki Sakata's the man. Never will you find a man who fights aliens and samurai with a souvenir bokken(a wooden practice sword). Take note, it's a SOUVENIR bokken. Not really made for practice, much less crushing metal and breaking katanas.

gabsilog123
12-18-2011, 01:27 PM
Karasuma Yoichi though he only uses a wooden sword
Dracule Mihawk and Roronoa Zorro(both from One Piece)

kevinxhunter

Mugen and Jin from Samurai Champloo, king Bradley from FMA, and Sephiroth from FF7

For. me it's Zorro.. Gilgamesh ..Archer ..and Saber ..yess!!!

Hmm... Gil doesn't use his swords like Archer and Saber does, only shoots them like arrows.

Still, Saber and Archer rocks. Kenshin too.

acejammer
12-22-2011, 12:29 AM
I go for Kenshin Himura of Samurai X,he's the best.
-Roronoa Zorro of One Piece
-KYO of Samurai Deeper Kyo
-MiHawk
-Gintoki

....That's my Top 5 Best Swordsman ever.

veris19
12-22-2011, 11:30 AM

The best sword master can only be Hiko Sejiro! The master of Kenshin Himura.

Kenpatchi Zaraki a minor recurring character in Bleach. He's a fearless savage beast weilding a rusty katana and striking down any in his path, He voluntarily getting stabbed just so he can stab them back.

The most renowned swordsman in anime history is Kenshin Himura.

Eh? Swordsmaiden? Would Sakura from Sakura Wars can be considered as such? XD
Or Erza Scarlet, except she re-equips any weapon she wants to use, from swords to spears.

I think it's Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) :D

Ronoroa Zoro from One Piece is my #1 swordsman

I'd have to go with Zoro too. Kenshin simply doesn't match up to Zoro's overpoweredness. No really...and he's still getting stronger.

I'd prefer power over technique myself, what good is to block you opponent's incoming blow, when your sword is about to be broken (along with the rest of your body). So my pick is:

Swordsman: Guts from Berseker
Swordswoman: Karura from Utawarerumono

Both of them wield swords that are too heavy for anyone else, their edge is too blunt to actually cut, so they don't bother resharpening, and they can do a great deal of smashing not to mention the amount of punishment they (both wielder and sword) can take and not even flinch.

Shigure, mugen and jin are awesome without a doubt but Zorro is at the top. He's a pure beast XD

Night Rikuo (Nurarihyon no Mago)
Saber and Archer (Fate/Stay Night)
Mifune (Soul Eater)

This a tough question because there are a lot of anime with some pretty killer swordsmen and women. My favorite (from the limited anime I have seen) would be Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist.

Kenshin Himura from Samurai X

05-22-2012, 02:17 AM
For me it's a tie between Himura Kenshin of Rurouni Kenshi and Kibagami Jūbei of Ninja Scroll who was created in honor of Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi.
