Can we get a thread to appreciate anime swordsmen, and I mean swordsmen. Not faggots who randomly swing a sword around to shoot lasers or make tornadoes

Good swordfights are my weakpoint

Why did he never do the six sword thing again after the first Greed fight?

The buttler/swordmaster from Re:zero was one of the feew good things of that show.

king bradley was a boring character

this

was one of the many good things*

Emonzaemon is my favourite Swordsman.

...

Less is more.

Sure thing user

my sword is a high frequency vibrating katana that also has a gun inside it. first I stab my VCTIM then I shoot him. I call this the "sleeping dragon attack SIGMA"

Who needs a sword

BANG 2CHANRS

>king bradley was a boring character

Well, yeah. He was raised from birth to be a minion for the villains, but his fights were the most fun to watch in the series

There's no one better.

I don't know if swinging your sword and making airwaves can be considered as good swordsmanship

>not a faggot who randomly swings her sword to shoot lasers

>posts swordsman that uses guns
>not going full Nisioisin and declaring that you don't even need a weapon to be a swordsman

You mean one of the more interesting ones.
Most of the characters in FMA were boring as shit.
Bradley was a breath of fresh air because of his personality, beliefs, and interesting fights.

>a tale about 12 swords
>half of them are not even swords
Fucking Nisio

He used whatever sharp object he could find while raiding Central. He just couldn't find six.

Military must have a shit budget

Soldiers use guns and rifles. Only Bradley can afford to use swords in that context.

The gold toothed doctor had a whole bunch of guys with swords with him. It just seems weird that the army could only give him a single sword and a grenade

>wields a sword probably as heavy as a fully grown horse
>also has the skill and training to use it effectively and not just rely on being able to swing a fuckhuge weapon

As I said, he picked that sword up when he arrived to Central. He had just escaped a train explosion and arrived with no gear whatsoever.

Not needing swords to be swordsman only works if you are a sword.

But he also arrived with an escort. He still did fine with just one sword, but I still think that they could have given him a little more help

...

>3 silver coins

...

I think because it was necessary to ensure Greed was captured. He used the 6 sword shit to halt his defense ability.
He didn't want to kill him.
However, he didn't give a fuck about capturing him the other encounters because by that point he must have realized that Greed was going to be a traitor no more how many times he was reincarnated and thus was of no use as Father's pawn.

t. Greed

Why did Greed never use his full shield against Bradley? Bradley was by far the superior fighter, but he still couldn't cut through his shield

...

Why were you replying to me?

was the only good thing*

I would imagine there's a time before greed can go full armor and in during that time wrath is fast enough to slice whatever hasn't turned to steal, and when he's trying to heal he's probably not turning either so he can keep slicing.

in ling case I imagine the same thing but he has superior fighting skills or a figting body. and it seems greed has to be in control to turn on his defense.

that's not a sword.

best sword fight ever

yeah they are definitely toning this down in season 2

>issa big hunk of iron

Is there anybody who could even TOUCH, let alone defeat King?

>bradleyfags

Gennosuke and Seigen

He was so great the author had to come up with ways of not involving him because he could one-shot everyone.

He only carried 4 swords, and in the anime he never used more than 2 at the same time. Was a bit disappointing that they didn't include everything from those manga chapters.

These guys

...

Could he not have shown up a few seconds sooner and annihilated that guy?

Fuck off pedo

At least post a true swordsman, not a faggot that relies on super powers to win

The only good thing about Soul Eater

...

>implying Shiki couldn't beat Jobsassin without using MEoDP

Gotta love those visual effects

A great swordsman even without the Sword of Light.

Honorary mention for Zel and Zangulus although they rely more on their magic swords and as such probably don't meet OP's criteria.

*blocks your path*

You're pretty good at swinging your knives, kids
Mind if you show you how to fight with a sword?

>Didn't even know how to properly use a sword until the final arc

...

*breaks your sword*

someone needs to teach this retard how to use a sword...

>implying we don't have patrician taste

>babbies first anime swordsman
>patrician

>no Vagabond
>no katana cutting through another sword.gif

I thought I was on Sup Forums

YES

>Idiot Savant comedy swordfighter who always manages to serious right the fuck up at the most important times.

Why was Slayers so good at this? Being such a good comedy show but sucking you in whole hog for the big finale arcs?

>MFW this idiot basically ran down GOD and demanded they give the girl tthrough sheer force of will back despite being the comedy right hand man for the entire season.

Kenshin was my first swordsman. So go ahead and throw your meme words, I don't fit them.
Besides I don't like Bradley for his fights or skills, I actually like him for his character, the one from the manga/Brotherhood.
I despised his anime counterpart because he was just literally Dante's puppet, in Brotherhood he was more than just Father's puppet.

Does a sword man count as a swordsman?

You don't have to explain yourself to me pal.

>in Brotherhood he was more than just Father's puppet.
True, he was Father's puppet with an edgy atheist streak.

Better than just being Dante's attack dog. I at least enjoyed his edginess and trying to find ways to justify his pathetic cuck existence, like how he viewed his wife, it was similar to a cuck's way of making sense of his pitiful life.

>they let me chose my wife
>that means I'm not a total cuck

>the most basic parry movement in swordsmanship is somehow depicted as a surprising technique

off yourself

>>they let me chose my wife
>>that means I'm not a total cuck

Kek

shut the fuck up you uncultured retard

that is an out of reach strike that cannot be parried conventionally
he had to use the sword hilt to trap the enemy blade and close in

this guy

Who are you callin' a faggot?

Nonononono user. Freddie was GAY, not a FAGGOT. There is a massive difference. For example, whether you prefer guys, girls, or glorious 2D, you are on Sup Forums and are, therefore, a faggot. Meanwhile, a man can go through eighteen male lovers in a day (or a woman through just as many girls) and still not be 'a faggot'.

You are faggot though.

Spears are the better weapon

This.

>there are people unironically walking around with less than 12 swords.

You are quite right you know.
