10 Greatest Sword Wielders In Anime

7. Attack On Titan - Levi Ackerman

Levi Ackerman, though short in stature, is easily one of the most beloved anime characters in recent memory, as he has not only the looks, but also the skills of a true warrior, and has a tragic backstory to boot.

Levi lived alone into a slum underground city, raised by an uncle who quickly abandoned him, thus making Levi a hardened lonely child. But when he ran into a man named Erwin Smith, who recruited him to be part of the first line of defense against the hordes of attacking titans, the Survey Corps, Levi couldn't say no.

In the Survey Corps, Levi proved to be a natural at using the ODM gear as well as the dual single-edged blades to slice into the napes of titans with ease.

While Levi is shown to be a decent leader who cares deeply for those serving under him, Levi truly shines when he is on his own against a single strong titan or even a large group of titans.

Levi has beaten several powerful titans by himself and has also has taken down dozens of humans who have tried to kill him. This germaphobic, introverted, deadly soldier slices his way through hundreds of enemies, shaping his legend as a warrior who will kill anything to avenge his many fallen comrades, ensuring their memory will never fade.
