Who is the greatest swordsman and why is it Himura Kenshin? Make a list of the greatest swordsman and I guarantee you he'll be at the top or near the top of almost everyone's list. Strip away all the magic, super powers, demon powers, god powers, magical weapons or armor, and have just a straight up swordsmanship fight tournament and he'd win against any other character.
Who is the greatest swordsman and why is it Himura Kenshin...
Brody King
Isaiah Jones
>muh skill
Who cares
Josiah Thomas
Kenshin has nothing on Yoshiteru Ashikaga
Dylan Gutierrez
Seijuro is probably stronger.
David Ward
Gintoki, he uses every part of his body and not just a sword and his style is mostly self-taught.
Isaiah Wood
>no magic weapons
>no magic powers
>no magic armor
>asked a god to use magic to make his own men invisible so they don't have to fight and can flee to safety
>held back an invading army on his own
Alexander Campbell
Kenshin defeated him. That's how he mastered that multihit move.
Jaxon Ward
Probably? There's a reason he had so little screentime. Kenshin's opponents would've been taken out in a flash.
Isaiah Parker
Kenshin benefits from being faster than most of his opponents. Take that away and what is he?
Nathan Sanders
he's faster without the assistance of any outside forces. No magic sword. No magic armor. No magic. No god powers. No demon powers. No super powers. It's all his skill. That's why he's the best swordsman.
Ayden Young
The dude didn't even finish his training.
Cooper Morgan
yes he did. He went back and finished it.
Jose Carter
He's just a tranny looking faggot with an Iai move.
Jaxson James
Hiko was going to adjust the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu so that it didn't cripple Kenshin but he ran off to war before he could do that and never learned the revised style.
Aiden Hill
Zoro stomps Kenshin
James Mitchell
King
Robert Butler
フタエノキワミ、アッー!
Zachary Ward
Guts would rape him even pre-armor.
Jacob Gonzalez
ホモレモン
Ethan Scott
No, he would not
Michael Perry
>some literally who
>not the Sword Saint
ISHYGDDT
Jason Lopez
Afro samurai is similar based on feats, afro is similarly fast but also much stronger
Carson Ortiz
Seijuro would totally beat Kenshin if he wasn't training him.
Oliver Torres
大蛇
Noah Thompson
Yes he would. He's orders of magnitude above in strength, stamina and durability and even beginning of series Guts could swing Dragonslayer so fast and precisely he could exchange with a demonized superhuman who swung a giant axe with a tentacle so fast it couldn't be seen. This is a 400+ pound slab of metal and he's moving it around like a pen parrying hundreds of kilos, if not tons of force coming from extremely awkward directions. Not to mention reacting to literal mach speed early in the series and then lightning later on.
Chase Harris
The Afro Samurai anime even reference passages from the Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
Levi Nguyen
Kenshin manga doesn’t even make him appear that skilled without the supernatural shit, only the live action does with the excellence fight choreography
Grayson Watson
徳川エロスが神とはね！
Tyler Lopez
>faggot OP just keeps spamming pics because he has no argument
Nathaniel Brooks
>Strip away all the magic, super powers, demon powers, god powers, magical weapons or armor, and have just a straight up swordsmanship fight tournament and he'd win against any other character.
Gintoki stomps him with a wooden sword, with a real sword it wouldn't even be a fight.
>just as fast
>stronger physically
>tougher
>more versatile
Noah Turner
I hope that gif wasn’t meant to be a good example of his swordplay
Easton Lewis
Sebastian Davis
Yeah he would, but that's only because a knight with full armour vs a samurai with garbage Japanese metal isn't even a contest.
Joseph Martinez
The camera shakes and moved so much, did Micheal Bay direct this shit?
John Watson
So will Hokkaido Kenshin lose his shit about the Group of Darkness (you got Tomoe killed!!!) briefly before realizing "whoops, maybe I shouldn't be using a sword for peace when I'm still a very angry fucker on the inside"?
Aiden Martinez
>using his sword as a club or baseball bat
Meh
Jack Ramirez
What's the name of this manga?
Nolan Brooks
I will only spoonfeed you because I like the manga.
Sengoku Youko.
Nathan Butler
the only way to master the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū is by defeating your master therefore Kenshin is superior because he defeated Seijuro with it.
Nathaniel Clark
the anime > the manga
James Nelson
what are you talking about? What pictures? The only picture of Kenshin is the one I made in the OP. Every other picture is of other characters.
Eli Perez
Came here to say the same.
Aaron Evans

Mugen/Jin
Kenshin
Nanashi

Gintoki

Zoro

Saber is the best because of the following reasons.
1. She's super cute
2. She's super nice
3. Western Swords > Japanese Swords
Tyler Perez
Zoro had magic haki and I don't believe mugen shows enough skill to beat him, Jim maybe.
Benjamin Harris
Great now the stupid waifuplebs are here to ruin this thread now
Andrew Reyes

Leo Thompson
Also, bunch of your japanese fucks don't even have bracers or armor. Saber can easily block their attacks with her bracers/shield. Secondly, the superior European steel will overpower and break any shitty Japanese inferior pig iron. And remember, this is Excalibur, it's going to be made with the best material available as well as the best smith, and be blessed by the God. There is no other sword stronger than the Excalibur.
Saber also has a lot of experience fighting other legends in History. Her invaluable experience fighting the best of the best allows her to gain experience to fight anyone with any style. Japanese 1 sword, 2 swords, 3, swords, 10 swords, it doesn't matter to her. And it has been shown she is capable and has defeated numerous of different legendary swordsmen in History.
Face it, Saber is the cutest and the strongest swordmaster of all time!
Andrew Flores
Just ignore him
Jace Jenkins

I won't comment on that, Nasufags get really agressive when a Servant is involved in a fight
>"you need magic to touch them!"
>"your magic attack won't work because they have magic resistence!"
>"a magic weapon wouldn't work since they have magic resistence and would make the weapon normal, and a normal weapon can hurt them!"
>"muh gay buldge"
>"muh hax!"

I'm not even talking about the magic or whatever stupid bullshit hax everyone has.
The simple reason why Saber won't lose is because she has superior weaponry and armor. Kenshin wears a cloth shirt. One small slice from Excalibur can easily cause festering wounds and hemorrhage. Even if he were to survive the slash, Kenshin has been show vulnerable to disease. And doctors of the Meiji era won't be able to heal a sword would even mildly deep.
Saber just needs to watch for her head, and her plate mail will easily protect her from attacks.
Leo Cook
Sasuke mother fucking Uchiha. No one, powered or not, can touch him with his Sharigon reinigon combo.
Robert Evans
Saber's sword and armor are magical, in pure skill without prana burst she would lose since it has been stated that without that she's as strong as a normal girl her age (14-15 yrs).
Kayden Young
The only thing that makes Zoro tough is his haki and retard super strength and ashura.
Holding a sword in his mouth wouldn't fucking work in real life.
Cooper Baker
the 1st video is of him losing a fight lol and the 3rd is him about to die after losing a fight only to survive because he was saved by someone else who defeated the guy. Not Gintoki. And the 4th is him losing again. You just disproved your point.
The only 2 clips you showed are him killing henchmen who are literal fodder. The fuck is wrong with you?
Zachary Hill
That’s why he’s so low on the list
Sebastian James
The slut from mugen no juunin. Habaki and Kagehisa may have a shot.
Jordan Martinez
A swordman with enough destructive power to completely destroy Soujiro.
Jason Flores
If your master actually wanted to kill you, they'd also use the secret of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū. Kenshin would be dead in the first clash.
Sebastian Foster

What about no magic or God powers do you not get.
it's an unfair fight when you are fighting someone who is armed with a reversed blade katana and no armor with a sword that is blessed by God while wearing armor.
How would she do against Kenshin without armor and a ordinary sword?
Matthew Cook
He only defeated him because the Amakakeru is superior to the Kuzuryusen, with equal techniques Hiko is stronger.
