I love the way that a wanderer wielding a katana seems to embody the spirit of Japan itself.
But which one is right for you?
- Miyamoto Musashi
- The Bushido Code
- The Tale of the White-Gold Samurai
- The Six Samurai
- The Book of Five Rings
20. Atomic Samurai
One Punch Man is an anime series that follows the adventures of a young man named Goku who is forced to fight in a tournament to save his home country from destruction.
Atomic Samurai is a new character in the game that we’ve only seen a few glimpses of. He’s a samurai who uses atomic energy to fight. He’s mysterious and powerful, and we want to know more about him.
He’s a largely unknown character with huge potential in terms of badassery. He seems to be pretty tight with Bang, as these two seasoned veterans talk about the newer generations and their aptitude for the battlefield.
Atomic Samurai showcases how he has some quite powerful disciples who can slice and dice a monster in thin air.
This badass is really cool and I just hope he gets the screen time that he deserves.
19. Yami Sukehiro
I don’t usually imagine samurai as giant muscular men with anger issues and a strict bathroom schedule.
Black Clover’s Yami offers fans more than just his skills with a blade – he’s also a powerful mage. ..
Despite his charisma stat being severely lacking, he is one of the strongest captains in the kingdom. And his ability to consistently get stronger is nothing short of amazing. ..
In the past, when he was younger, he had the appearance of a samurai. ..
The thorn queen knew that this prick would make a great king. ..
18. Hyakkimaru
Hyakkimaru’s tragic backstories are truly unique.
Hyakkimaru spent many years recovering from the injuries inflicted on him by the demons. He had to learn how to move and function again properly. ..
He was horrified when he learned that, oh boy.
He’s a brave and determined swordsman who uses his prosthetic arms to go out and slay demons that rob him of a normal life. He’s usually pretty calm and collected, but he has definitely been close to completely snapping on more than a few occasions.
17. Giyuu Tomioka
However, I’ve decided to focus on the protagonist’s supporting cast. These characters are just as important to the story, and I think they deserve some attention. ..
I think Giyuu is the best character of the series – even with only a small amount of screen time. ..
The man in the picture is the closest approximation of the ideal samurai I have in my mind. He always seems to be looking at the bigger picture and following his gut instinct to help humanity.
He’s the husband of the show.
16. Mifune
In an anime that’s all about ninjas, you would think that the samurai would show up more frequently given how much everyone loves ninja fights.
Mifune is the only named character in the film who can truly fit the title of samurai. He is a skilled swordsman and a powerful leader, able to take on any challenge head-on.
In the final arc of the show, samurai-like character Yoruichi uses his reason and experience to help guide the characters through a difficult situation.
He is straightforward and powerful, more so than some people give him credit for. ..
The main point of this article is that the two characters went toe-to-toe and managed to come out on top.
15. Mugen
Mugen is an unorthodox samurai, who does not adhere to traditional samurai values. ..
He’s a skilled fighter, but his motives and fighting style are far less traditional than most.
The man is a fighter who loves himself and just wants to have some fun. His signature fighting style looks like an improvised hip hop routine.
He’s fearless and has looked death in the eyes multiple times.
He might get a few strange looks at the samurai reunion. But no one would ever dare to challenge him. ..
14. Yaichi
Anime: House of Five Leaves tells the story of a group of people who are forced to leave their home after a powerful storm knocks out power to the city. They must find new ways to survive in a world that is now without electricity.
If you’re looking for a samurai-themed attraction that will give you a taste of the old days, Yaishi is the place to go. These days, samurai are more likely to be seen wielding swords in demonstrations or on TV shows, but Yaishi is still an interesting place to visit. ..
The man rarely fights, but instead relies on his words and connections to get what he wants. ..
There’s something about him that’s peculiar. ..
The mystery of the man behind the mask is what has driven this story from the beginning. I applaud the creators for making it so intriguing. ..
Despite his shortcomings, I think it’s worth mentioning the intriguing figure of Mr. Butt-Wipe because of his unique look. ..
13. Nanashi
The anime Sword of the Stranger is set in a world where humans and monsters coexist. The story follows a young girl named Hana who is tasked with traveling to the other side of the world to find her brother. Along the way, she must fight off monsters and find allies in order to save him. ..
I love the way people use their recoveries as a way to build character.
Nanashi is a prime example as to why Japan needs to do more to promote its culture.
Although he initially comes off as a gruff and hardened warrior, we soon get to see a softer side of him. ..
He fights valiantly to protect the two sources of innocence in this world: children and puppies. ..
This movie is amazing cinematically and animation-wise. If you haven’t watched it, I would strongly advise you to give it a shot.
12. Benimaru
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is an anime about a slime who gets Reincarnated as a human.
Benimaru is a bit more traditional when it comes to samurai, being that he looks like a sexy devil and all.
I think he still fits the bill, despite his past.
He’s a powerful and incredibly skilled commander that would lay down his life to protect his master.
He is a very kind-hearted person, but can be quite the troublemaker at times. He has a heart of gold, but can also be quite the troublemaker.
In Japan, there is a samurai who can also wield magic and look like a final boss. This samurai is known as the “Sekiro Samurai.”
11. Kambei Shimada
Kambei has a strong sensei presence that is unbelievable. He’s a war-toughened veteran who has lost some of his humanity on the battlefield.
He is the group’s leader and tactician, often keeping an eye on proceedings and providing guidance when needed.
The samurai is a highly skilled and deadly fighter who can mercilessly strike down foes if the situation calls for it. His approval is the biggest honor you can get as a samurai.
The Samurai 7 were written perfectly for their roles and I find it hard to imagine them without such a strong and memorable leader.
10. Afro
The Afro character is a black man who takes revenge on white people for centuries. He is a skilled fighter and has a dark sense of humor. His story is compelling because it shows how revenge can be a powerful tool in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.
Afro was left with a deep sense of sadness and despair after watching his father die in front of him and then losing most of his friends.
He’s a loner who wanders the land in search of his father’s killer.
He’s not a monster, but he will cut you down without a second thought if you get in his way.
Afro makes you remember that being a samurai wasn’t all that fun and games throughout history.
9. Kenshin Himura
Kenshin is one of the most skilled anime samurai in history.
He has a compelling backstory and an amazing “don’t make me draw my sword” ideology. ..
He doesn’t need to draw his sword very often, oddly enough. Because he’s so skilled that he can just beat you down with the scabbard.
He’s a bit more nonchalant and goofy than some of the characters on this list, but when he gets serious, even just a stern look feels like it could cut through flesh.
8. Masamune Date
Anime fans rejoice as the newest installment in the Sengoku Basara series, Samurai Kings, is released. The game follows the exploits of historical figures such as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi as they battle for control of Japan. With an impressive cast of voice actors and a gripping story line, Samurai Kings is sure to please fans of anime and strategy games alike. ..
I love the feeling of being on a train that is just going too fast for my liking. I love the way it makes me feel, like I can do anything.
I’m a fan of “The Hurricane” and my favorite fighting style is “The Hurricane.”
Masamune is known as the one-eyed dragon for his six swords. He is expected to cause chaos in the upcoming tournament. ..
Masamune is a very boastful and challenging person, believing himself to be the strongest there is. ..
He’s probably right. I would believe the same thing if I could do the same things as him.
7. Zoro Roronoa
In honor of the original samurai badass, we must pay tribute to another master of wielding multiple swords. ..
Zoro is a unique character in the One Piece series, and his eccentricity and coolness make him stand out from the rest.
Sanji is one of the most serious and stern members of the Straw Hats. He’s always a valuable asset in any battle, and his skills are sorely missed if he’s not around. ..
Zoro’s willingness to bear any burden in order to help his team was on full display during the “nothing happened” scene. If you don’t consider him a samurai, you’re doing the entire genre a huge disservice. ..
6. Gintoki Sakata
Gintoki is one of the most unique samurai on this list. He has a personality that is unlike any other. ..
Freelance swordsman with an extremely laid back attitude stands out from the usual stoic hero. ..
Despite his shortcomings, he does have moments where he demonstrates his skillful abilities. ..
If you’re lucky, you might get a tragic flashback. ..
He’s a tough guy, but you have to admit that he’s pretty typical of the bushido way.
5. Goemon Ishikawa XIII
A master thief and samurai team is something that you never realized you wanted, until you finally see them. ..
Lupin is known for his quick wit and cunning, while Goemon is more straightforward and willing to take risks. This contrast can be seen in their approach to the job, with Lupin often preferring to work behind the scenes and go undetected, while Goemon is more upfront about his goals and willing to take on more dangerous tasks. ..
If you’re not a fan of the tsundere relationship between Lupin and Jigen, you can always look towards their bromance. It’s just as interesting. ..
Geomon is a warrior of unparalleled skill and strength. He is able to bring his sword to bear in any situation, and has a reputation for never backing down from a fight. ..
4. Jin
Jin is a samurai game that stays true to the samurai formula. ..
He is a very skilled swordsman who is feared throughout the land. ..
Jin became one with his sword through years of professional training, and his goal in life is to become the best swordsman in the world. He is not content with just living another day and having fun. ..
This is a criticism of the traditional, serious-minded anime fan.
This is the verdict of a recent study that compared the skills and techniques of top samurai with those of other professional athletes. The study found that the best samurai were able to move faster, hit harder, and defend themselves better than any other professional athlete.
3. Amidamaru
Shaman King is a show that I nearly forgot about. It’s a classic anime that I enjoy watching every episode.
The reboot of “Death Note” brought me back to the show and this lovable badass ghost samurai.
Amidamaru is a well-balanced character. He’s very funny and likable when the combat has died down, but can also bring some serious badass moments when it’s time to d-d-duel.
The story usually goes that his backstory is nothing less than tragic – and his morals are iron-clad. ..
2. Nobunaga Hazama
Anime fans rejoice! The popular anime series, Hunter x Hunter, is coming to an end. The show has been airing for over a decade and has amassed a large following. The show follows the adventures of young boys who are tasked with tracking down powerful creatures known as “Hunters.” These Hunters use their skills and weapons to fight against evil forces. Fans of the show will be sad to see it end, but are excited for the future of anime. ..
The Phantom Troupe deserved more screen time in the show. ..
Nobunaga had the potential to be a great leader, but he was also capable of terrible things.
Even though his Nen wasn’t anything flashy or out of this world, he posed an incredible threat to the gang.
The bromance between Uvogin and Gon was refreshing and oddly precious. They both accepted each other for who they were, without any apologies or reservations. This made for a great character development arc.
Hunter x Hunter is a great show that writes morally gray characters. So getting more of this samurai is a must!
1. Tsukikage Ran
Tsukikage Ran is an anime that is carried by the wind. It tells the story of a young girl who must protect her village from evil spirits. ..
In case you thought I forgot about the samurai, you were wrong. The female samurai is a vital part of Japan’s military culture and history. She has been in the country’s military for centuries, and her skills are in high demand.
There is a reason why Tsukikage is the only female samurai on this list – most of the time, female samurai characters are exaggerated and played off for laughs and fan service. ..
She is a samurai who can fight without relying on supernatural powers or love interests. ..
She’s an excellent warrior that really makes you question why females were not historically allowed to become samurai.
In other words, the Mulan of anime is amazing. I love it.
