Best Male Anime Characters With a Sword
Trunks is an anime fictional character from the anime series, Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. He's just amazing. He came back from the future to save the world, and he's been through hell and back. Whys he not number 1?
Trunks a badass.
Ichigo Kurosaki is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo. ICHIGO KUROSAKI BELOW KIRITO ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Why is that Gary Stu so overrated? He completely fails as a character!
Roronoa Zoro, nicknamed "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, is a fictional character in the One Piece franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. He deserves to be at the 1st place, seriously, people.
Not just one sword, THREE SWORDS
HOW is he below Kirito?!?!
Kazuto Kirigaya is a fictional character who appears in the Sword Art Online series of light novels by Reki Kawahara. So while Kirito may not be the strongest male anime character with a sword, the title of this list says "Best Male Anime Characters With a Sword", not "Strongest Male Anime Characters With a Sword". Being it is that way, Kirito is first more for the reason of him being brave and wanting to protect the ones he loves rather than just strength itself. Although, there are some characters who do rival him at that as well. Eh, oh well, I still love Kirito anyway.
He's my favourite in SAO, but still, he's worse than most of the ones below him.
It's funny to read kids criticizing this MC without justification because they are too fanboys/girls of other MC LOL
Rin Okumura is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Blue Exorcist created by Kazue Kato. He's known for being the son of satan and trying to kill him. He is the main Protagonist in Blue Exorcist. His notable feature is the blue sword in which he draws when in trouble
Renji Abarai is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by Tite Kubo.
Himura Kenshin, known as Kenshin Himura in the English-language anime dubs, is a fictional character and protagonist of the Rurouni Kenshin manga created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. Discarding the superpowers that each one possesses in their animes and only considering his sword skills, definitively Himura should be in the top because he is the only one that has mastered his ryū
Well, this doesn't matter here... this list isn't about only sword skills :v
Sasuke Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. Possesses the Sharingan, rinnegan, and a badass sword, can't believe he wasn't on here sooner
King Bradley is a fictional character from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its adaptations created by Hiromu Arakawa. The best swordsman in the world of anime. He can take any character in this list in a simple sword fight and kick their asses. No one is beyter than him in sworfsmanship. Other characters use stupid superpowers rather than their sword skills to fight but King Bradley only relies on his skills. He should be no. 1 in this list.
Yu Kanda is a character from D.Gray-man, a manga series created by Japanese artist and writer Katsura Hoshino.
Gilgamesh is a fictional character from the Japanese visual novel and anime series Fate/stay night by Type-Moon. He is the Archer-class servant of Tokiomi Tohsaka and a secondary antagonist during the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fate/Zero. He reprises his role as a secondary antagonist during the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fate/stay night. He is a secondary antagonist in the Fate route, the true main antagonist in the Unlimited Blade Works route, and a minor antagonist in the Heaven's Feel route. Honestly, I think unless Kirito's reaction time is strong enough to counter Gilgamesh's attacks, I think Gilgamesh might be stronger than him. Gilgamesh can utilize his Noble Phantasm Gate of Babylon to pull out one of his thousand weapons to use or to fire them like bullets at his opponents. In addition, he has the sword Ea, which he can use to unleash Enuma Elish, a powerful move capable of ripping apart space and time, and is especially useful for breaking Reality Marbles in the Fate Universe.
How was he not on the list from the start?

Shisui has never neem depicted wielding a sword. As a matter of fact we do not have a single fight scene of this guy. Why is he on this list.
