If you are fans of Japanese animation, surely a lot of characters will come to mind who hold a broadsword, katana or saber. And the safest thing is that the first names you would pronounce would be that of Kenshin (from the anime Rurouni Kenshin) or Zoro (from One Piece).
But there is many other characters who also know how to brandish their swords with the same or superior skill, and who also deserve to be in an article like this. Today we bring you our particular and small selection (without a particular order) of the best swordsmen from anime series
Guts (Berserk, 1997)
With his Dragon Slayer on his shoulder, this character was imposing for his physique (with his mechanical arm and marks) as for his combat skills. Guts led the Falcon Gang in this anime with medieval and fantastic overtones.
Gourry Gabriev (Slayers, 1995)
You will all remember the blond swordsman with blue eyes who in our country was baptized as Gaudy and that he was extremely forgetful as well as noble. Self-proclaimed bodyguard of Lina Inverse (known in Spain as Reena), Gourry cannot use magic but she makes up for it with her incredible strength and his skill with his lightsaber.
Levi Ackerman (Shingeki No Kyojin, 2013)
The captain of the Reconnaissance Legion special operations squad is regarded as the strongest soldier in humanity, and the truth is that his ability using the equipment of three-dimensional maneuvers and his lethality cutting the neck of the Titans with their swords is beyond doubt.
Kirito (Sword Art Online, 2012)
Kirito is the pseudonym that Kazuto Kirigaya uses in Sword Art Online, the massively multiplayer online video game based on virtual reality that ends up being a death trap for ten thousand players. Along with Asuna, Kirito brandishes his sword to overcome and survive the game.
InuYasha (InuYasha, 2000)
Half human, half demon, InuYasha remains orphaned from an early age and he has to deal with the rejection it causes in both humans and yōkai. In clashes he brandishes the Tessaiga, the sword that he inherited from his father and that is much more than a simple weapon.
