Top 10 Badass Anime Swords

Certain swords have become legendary in their own anime series.

Here is a list of some of the most badass swords in anime.

10. Sakata Gintoki’s “Lake Toya” from Gintama

Lake Toya hilariously defies the fact that Gintoki uses a wooden sword for the purpose of not killing anyone with it’s ability to cut through anything.

In addition, there is one sword in Gintama that is proven to be more powerful than Lake Toya, which you’ll be seeing further down the line.

9. Gatts’ “Dragonslayer” from Berserk, Sanousuke Sagara’s “Zanbatou” from Rurouni Kenshin, and Dygenguard’s “Zankantou” from Super Robot Wars

This is basically the sword version of the ‘BFG’.

The bigger your weapon is, the more badass it’s going to look, and the cooler you are going to be for being able to wield it.

8. Himura Kenshin’s “Sakabatou” from Rurouni Kenshin

The sakabatou is, simply put, a classic.

7. Mugen’s “Double-Edged Tsurugi” from Samurai Champloo

Mugen’s sword is great not for any special attributes it has, seeing as it could easily be mistaken for a normal sword, but for it’s unforgettable appearance.

The distinct white handle, pointed hilt, and black, emblemized sheathe that is famously strapped to Mugen’s back instead of his side all make the sword instantly recognizable as his own.

6. Kira Izuru’s “Wabisuke” from Bleach

The moment that you learn about Wabisuke’s true use is utterly awesome as there is a definitive moment wherein the connection between the sword’s power and it’s shape becomes apparent, and the gruesome truth is revealed.

5. Okada Nizou’s “Benizakura” from Gintama

Benizakura is definite proof that something pink can still look totally badass, and the sword’s constantly changing form keeps it fresh and cool at all times.

The sword even has it’s own pulse, which adds to it’s creepiness, and the grotesque attachment it has to foolhardy wielder Okada Nizou just serves to make it that much more memorably unsettling.
