yeah they know you can poke an eye out
with those things welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 anime
sword fights
for this list we’ll be looking at the
craziest sword fights in all of anime
either because of their choreography or
emotional impact as such there will be a
few spoilers throughout so spoiler alert
yes however I know how to use Jun cats
to pierce your karma we good then we
both go down together number 10
Kenshin vs seetio role Rooney tension it
ended 10 years ago the moment I laid my
hands on this reverse blade sword in
order to make up for the bloodshed he
caused during his lifetime as the
manslayer himura kenshin vowed to never
kill again
even using non-lethal means of
dispatching his enemies the same can’t
be said for shishio makoto who’s as
ruthless and sadistic as they come as
the two eventually come to blows Kenshin
is tested to his very limits almost
overwhelmed by she shows flame soaked
blade however with his mastery of the
hiten mitsurugi ryu tension manages to
defeat the new model of manslayer
unfortunately for seetio such a vigorous
fight leaves him prone to spontaneous
combustion
number nine masamune versus Mitsunari
sengoku basara the last party
pretty sure this one’s not historically
accurate but it’s still pretty cool
only the conclusion of Tokugawa’s
attempt to unify Japan the ever-loyal
Mitsunari seeks revenge on the man who
killed his Lord doc am i Sai Munna
as the battle for victory and vengeance
commences were treated to a spectacle of
sword slashes and dazzling energy
projectiles all at high-octane speed
never before had Masamune met someone on
his level of sword fighting and when all
six blades come out you know he needs
business
number eight Sabre versus assassin
fate/stay night unlimited blade works
did you not hear me when I said you had
to force your way through if you do not
hurry your masters life will surely be
lost it’s East meets West in this battle
between servants while enroute to save
her master Sabre encounters this
graceful but deadly katana wielder
leading to a clash between equally
impressive sword styles while the
Arthurian Knight holds up pretty well
assassins concealed sword technique
manages to bring her down a peg or two
leaving quite the impact before the duel
is cut short assassin why did you not
strike me down just now I was captivated
I suppose it may be a brief exchange but
the meshing of Arts shown between the
tomb servants makes dispute one of the
series’s best ultimate
Swallow reversal too late
number seven Kirito versus Heathcliff
sword art online now that my identity
has been revealed it should come as no
surprise that I am the final boss on the
top floor in order to free the minds of
all trapped players TV 2 attempts the
challenge of a one-on-one battle with
the game’s creator Heathcliff who as
you’d expect is his overpowered as they
come easily dispatching his attacks
just as it looks like it’s game over
Asuna sacrifices herself for her in-game
lover giving he veto the will to
overcome digital death and win the day
either the power of love transcends into
video games or if that was just the
luckiest of all glitches who knows
number 6
Ichigo vs. ulquiorra bleach
the rivalry between the orange haired
Shinigami and Espada number four was
definitely one of leaches highlights all
culminating in a final duel to the death
where neither showed any signs of
quitting
the reveal of ulquiorra second form was
beyond imposing and even resulted in
ichigo’s death albeit a temporary one
here’s the man to whom you’ve entrusted
all your home
bear witness as his life comes to an end
hearing the cries of his distraught
friend brings him back from the brink
assuming a much more hollow ehrgeiz it
was a battle between two titans one that
our favorite errand car unfortunately
couldn’t come back from
number five Zorro versus luma one piece
so you think you can take my black blade
shoe swing away from me do you
oh I’m taking it I’m about to cut you
down and wrench it from your cold dead
body on an island filled with zombies
ghosts and talkin skeletons is there any
surprise that there’s also an undead
samurai lurking about in order to
reclaim Brooks Shadow Zorro challenges
the ancient swordsman to a duel the
result of which causes a whole lot of
wanton destruction Oh Bob despite Ryu
mosz impressive skills he’s still no
match for the straw hats resident badass
who literally reduces him to ashes as a
sign of warrior’s faith even hands over
his blade to Zorro which he certainly
puts to good use later in the series
I’ll take this sword like I said but
let’s pretend like this fight never
happened
number 4 Jin versus Mugen samurai
Champloo you are in the middle of
something
pardon me hey are you one of those
so-called badasses you couldn’t ask for
a better introduction to our two
protagonists then with a battle sequence
that shows off just how much merit they
really have as swordsmen you’ve got the
wrong guy and don’t bother waiting for
the yog use they’re all gone they’re
gone I killed all three after a case of
mistaken identity the cocky Mugen
engages the reserved gin in Abdul
complete with sword swings and
acrobatics where do they proceed to turn
a restaurant in to their personal
playground
[Music]
in fact they’re so determined that
they’ll even continue to fight while
everything around them goes up in flames
we can see why foo thought they’d make
great travelling companions aren’t you
going to run yeah but go ahead
just stand my account number three guts
versus Griffith berserk these two
brothers and arms destined to become the
most hated of enemies didn’t exactly
have the most pleasant of introductions
impressed with his skills as a mercenary
Griffiths approaches guts with an
opportunity to join the band of the hawk
I find you much to my liking when he
refuses if it’s makes a wager that if he
beats him then he has no choice but to
join while not the most brutal of
berserks bloody list of battles it does
demonstrate just how different these two
really are Griffiths is composed and
elegant even as he’s cutting up his
opponent Wow guts will go through
whatever pain it takes to win including
taking a blade to the mouth now that’s
commitment
in battle there’s only one way you
should be using your mouth number two
Chara versus Amuro Mobile Suit Gundam it
seems strange that one of the biggest
rivalries in mecha history would
culminate in an old-fashioned sword
fight as the area around them is falling
apart beep would dictate that they would
bump into one another without a second
thought they’d take up arms and despite
cries for them to stop these two won’t
be content until one of them balls the
result is almost too close to call but
what was on char side and after its
conclusion we know that these two were
destined to face one another for
eternity
[Music]
number one kintoki versus Takatsuki
Gintama also come
muffy Goethe said the white demon may be
a huge source of comedy and not exactly
the most suave of samurai but when you
push him over the edge then he more than
lives up to his demonic title no one
pushed him point as far as his former
comrade turned criminal Takatsuki
able to dish out and take untold amounts
of punishment these two practically tear
each other to pieces
even when Ginn is armed with just a
bokuto with relentless bloody action
where else could this moment sit but at
the top of our list
[Applause]
