Swords are the most common weapons in anime. There are so many different styles or techniques as well as ways of how the user personalizes their sword, which resulted in many variations of swords in anime.

There are several powerful swords in anime, from the ones that can only be wielded by one person, to those imbued with supernatural powers. Here are the most powerful swords in anime according to Dunia Games.

1. Sekki - Noragami

In Noragami, there is the strongest weapon called Shinki, which can be used to obliterate demons or defeat gods. Delivery God Yato is someone who prefers swords as his main weapon, and he is accompanied by a Shinki named Yukine who transforms into an odachi called Sekki.

Sekki's blade is so sharp that he can cut the Pacification Ring in Heaven. When Yukine evolves into a Blessed Shinki (which is very difficult for most Shinki to achieve), he transforms into two smaller swords.

2. Kurikara - Ao no Exorcist

Kurikara is a sword that can summon hellfire. Kurikara contains the demonic heart of Rin Okumura, the son of Satan who later became an Exorcist. Rin's adoptive father initially gave him the sword to keep the powers sealed, yet an incident forced Rin to draw his sword, releasing the demon within the sword.

When drawn, Kurikara emits blue flames and reveals Rin's demonic form. Rin must learn to control the blue flames to be able to control this sword properly so that he does not burn his comrades.

3. Zanpakuto - Bleach

Every Soul Reaper has a Zanpakuto, which roughly translates to "soul-cutting sword". As the only weapon capable of cutting Hollows, the corrupted souls that threaten humans, they are essential to their work. If the user is powerful enough, they can perform the ultimate technique of their Zanpakuto or Bankai.

As they are born from the souls of the users, each Zanpakuto is unique to the user and can grow stronger with them. Ichigo's Zangetsu evolves to gain the ability to fire energy blasts with a wide range and tremendous destructive power, making it one of the most powerful Zanpakuto in Bleach.

4. Samehada - Naruto

Being able to use weapons is an essential skill for any shinobi, thus, in Naruto, there are a wide variety of powerful swords.

The best sword in this series belongs to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. Samehada, Kisame Hoshigaki's weapon, is a lethal one. It is basically a living being and loyal to its user that it will attack anyone who tries to touch it.

Kisame says that Samehada works like sharkskin: it doesn't slice, but it shreds its victims into ribbons. This sword weakens its victims and strengthens itself by consuming their chakra.

Kisame can use it to fight or hide within it, and even fuse with it to become a humanoid shark creature in one of the best moments in Naruto.

5. Tessaiga - InuYasha

The Great Dog Demon Touga, who's also Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father, forged two swords from his own fangs before his death. He named them Tessaiga and Tenseiga. The stronger Tessaiga was passed on to his younger son, Inuyasha.

Whereas Tenseiga was passed on to Inuyasha's older brother, Sesshomaru — it made Sesshomaru furious.

Tessaiga can kill a hundred demons in one hit. And the more demons it kills, Tessaiga grows stronger. This sword has several different powers for Inuyasha to master, such as firing energy beams, reflecting enemy attacks back at them, and even sending opponents straight into the Underworld.

6. Saika - Durarara!

Saika doesn't have the destructive power other swords boast, yet it possesses the terrifying power to control people. Saika is a cursed sword that loves humanity and just wants to show that love, but it expresses it by cutting off as many people as possible to possess and brainwash them. The hive mind under its control quickly spreads through Ikebukuro.

The wielder of this weapon, Anri Sonohara, has to constantly fight the sword's intention of possessing her. In return, Saika grants her increased speed and reflexes, the ability to grow blades from anywhere on her body, and control over anyone Saika has cut. Anri and Saika make a powerful duo.

7. Ea - Fate/Stay Night

The power to tear Heaven and Earth alone is more than enough to prove Ea's superiority over other swords in the anime. Ea is one of Gilgamesh's favorite Noble Phantasms, the only one capable of using them at all; the arrogant king will only take it out against opponents he believes are truly worthy.

Ea predates any weapon in existence, in a world where the oldest magic is always the most powerful. When Gilgamesh orders it to attack, it unleashes a huge windstorm strong enough to tear not only Earth but also through space and time. Everything in front of Gilgamesh's eyes is shattered instantly with just one swing of Ea.

8. Excalibur - Soul Eater

Demonic weapons in Soul Eater take many forms, including katana like Tsubaki and broadswords like Ragnarok. However, the most powerful weapon in the entire series is Excalibur, the legendary sword of heroes and kings and one of the best characters created by Takehito Koyasu.

Excalibur's Meisters can move at the speed of light, penetrate dimensions, and fly with wings of light.

9. Amol Saiqa - Magi: Labyrinth of Magic

In Magi: Labyrinth of Magic, Metal Vessels are the most powerful items. When a warrior successfully passes all of the ordeals in a Dungeon, a metal item of their choosing is possessed by the Dungeon's Djinn, letting the Dungeon Capturer access their power by wielding it. Capturing Amon's Dungeon imbues Alibaba's dagger with his power.

When fully activated, Amon's blade grows bigger and turns pitch black as it works better for absorbing heat. This allows Alibaba to summon an unlimited number of fires, both to attack and to create a defensive wall around himself.

Its Extreme Magic summons a great swordsman made of fire that can pierce through anything.

10. Claymores - Claymore

With hordes of monstrous youma plague humanity, the only weapon that can be used to stop it are Claymores.

Claymores are the only things capable of cutting youma flesh. The blade never dulls or breaks, which implies that the blade is made of something more than metal. Their sizes are almost as big as their wielders and so heavy that Undine is known for wielding two of them simultaneously.

When a Claymore dies, her sword is used as her grave marker, and will never rust.
