10 Most Powerful Weapons In Anime History

3. Berserk - Dragon Slayer

Considered by many as one of the most violent and action-heavy shonens of all time, Berserk has always had a particularly brutal way of portraying people being killed during battle. The show's main protagonist, Guts, is as dangerous with a sword as they come, slicing and dicing apostles of the God Hand, evil spirits and various other bad guys.

However, when you're a warrior like Guts and have been bred from a young age to be one of the most ruthless swordsmen ever, it only makes sense to have a sword that matches his level of expertise. That's where the legendary Dragon Slayer comes in. Not only does it have a bad ass name, it's got certain qualities about it that make it one of the most unique weapons in the entire series.

Crafted by a blacksmith called Godot, the Dragon Slayer is such a ridiculously large weapon that many believed it was unusable. However, Guts was somehow able to pick it up and use it, smashing through enemies in devastating fashion. Dragon Slayer becomes even more impressive when Guts turns on his Berserker Armour, destroying everyone in his path.

While it might seem an absurd weapon to use due to the size of it, when placed it Guts' hands it's clearly one of the most destructive forces in anime.
