5. Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach):
Starting us off at number 5 is the substitute shinigami from Bleach. Not only is Ichigo a skilled sword fighter with his Zanpakuto, but he's also got a whole bunch of different forms that improve not only increases his skill, but also gives him a different weapon each time. Ever since the first one he got after receiving his powers from Rukia, he's gone from one Zanpakuto to another. And each one has helped him against so many overpowered villains. Personally, my favourite is his black one from his Bankai form. But it's pretty obvious his most powerful one is his one from Getsuga Tenshou form.
4. Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail):
Being one of the strongest members of Fairy Tail, Erza gets that from being a master with her many blades. Having the Requip magic, she's learned to fight with many different kinds of swords. Having it not only changes her outfit to many other ones, but she has tons of different swords to use. Especially in her Heaven's Wheel Armour where she can summon over a hundred at once. She's also defeated so many at enemies with her abilities. The most impressive of them all being her fight with a hundred monsters.
3. Hiei (Yu Yu Hakusho):
Probably one of the strongest characters in the Yu Yu Hakusho series, Hiei's skill with his sword are really impressive. Not only has he been trained in swordsmanship since he was a child, but he's also got plenty of years of experience using it to kill countless demons. He can use his normal slashes to kill demons or incorporate his own powers with it like with the Dragon Of The Darkness Flame where he uses it as a blade.
2. Guts (Berserk):
Coming in close to number 1 is the Black Swordsman himself, the mercenary, Guts. This is the character I mentioned a moment ago as a character I've never spoken about before, and that's because I just finished watching the original Berserk anime a couple of weeks ago. And man, it's probably the darkest anime I've ever seen. And Guts himself was easily the highlight of the whole thing. I know there's still more with the manga and the manga is always on hiatus like Hunter X Hunter, but I watched the original anime from 1997. Anyway, Guts is one of the most awesome anime protagonists you'll ever see. Being the embodiment of rage and fury, anything that gets in his way will be easily sliced to pieces in seconds. Not only is he skilled with killing so many people, but he once killed a hundred men by himself in one night, survived a fight with a huge demon, helped end a one hundred year war and during Griffith's betrayal, he was slicing through monsters with everything he could use. Eventually, afterwards, he got himself one of the coolest swords ever, Dragonslayer. And now he's killing any who stand in his way of complete revenge.
And my number 1 favourite swordsman in anime is... Roronoa Zoro (One Piece):
And finally at number 1 is Luffy's first mate and the man aiming to be the greatest swordsman in the world, Zoro. Like so many of these other characters, Zoro has been training with swords ever since he was a child and made it his personal goal to become the best and strongest swordsman there is. He's been doing everything he can to reach that dream and he's really done an amazing job with it. His sword slashes have the power to slice through almost everything. He's also learned so many different moves in regards to summoned blasts from his swords and using Haki with them. Plus, given how he was being trained by Mihawk for the two year time skip, it's no wonder how he got stronger when he reunited with the other crew members. And, by the end of the series, he's more than likely gonna end up as the strongest sword wielder in the world. And all that is why Zoro is my favourite swordsman in anime. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 5 swordsmen in anime. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
