"There may be a hundred sword techniques but you win with just one. A stroke of the sword that misses is a fatal opening which can be exploited for a decisive blow. Conquering personal weakness is the essence of swordsmanship."
― Teachings of Yagyū Shinkage-ryū, one of the most prominent schools of samurai swordsmanship.
"The sword is a simple tool, but in the hands of a master it becomes the most versatile of weapons. And just as the imagination is limitless, so too are the possibilities of the sword."
― Piandao (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
"You're really good at crying, J. Geil. Well, you're about to fall down to Hell, sobbing the whole way down. But there's one thing I can't rely on the guardians of Hell to do for me. And that's...To turn you into a pincushion!!"
― Jean Pierre Polnareff (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part III: Stardust Crusaders)
"Sorry, but I have total control over where my sword strikes."
― Sharrkan Amun-Ra (Magi The Labyrinth of Magic)
"Without subtlety, a sword is but an iron bar."
― Dracule Mihawk on Yoru (One Piece)
"If you spent as much time practicing your swordplay as you do practicing your wit you would rival Master Yoda as a swordsman."
"I thought I already did."
― Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)

Capabilities

Users are able to demonstrate a natural aptitude for the ways of the sword, including anything sword-shaped such as fictional swords. They are able to wield a sword with incredible expertise in speed, power, and skill, allowing them to perform feats such as stopping and deflecting bullets, decimating large objects or areas, cutting through a solid material such as steel, and even hold back their strength to deal damage to their foes without killing them.

The user is able to operate with little or no effort, deliver skillful strikes to weak points with great precision and cut only and exactly what they want. This ability also allows them to become naturally skilled with multiple swords or any bladed weapon regardless of shape or size to suit their needs in combat. Their remarkably fast weapon control may allow them to bypass obstacles in order to cut their intended target.

Applications

Variations

Associations

Limitations

  • Slicing through solid objects (Bricks, Metals, Lava, etc.) would destroy most conventional weaponry (non-enchanted steel weapons, etc.)
  • A user may be heavily reliant on sword-based combat and can be vulnerable if their swords are destroyed or taken away.
  • May be limited to close-range combat, which can have difficulty against opponents that can fight at a distance.
