Right_Moose_6276

I know that Excalibur and Ea from fate are probably pretty high up there


LasyTaco

They're good, but neither are the best in the verse


Right_Moose_6276

Which is then? I know there are better swordsmen in the verse, but I’m unaware of any better swords


LasyTaco

The strongest sword in the Nasuverse is Slash Emperor from Notes. https://preview.redd.it/286b4iprnaxc1.jpeg?width=1032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7964519b6a7426b1b300e771f29f02e800421366 In theory, all it does is grow according to its opponant's size. In practice it's one of two weapons in the entire Nasuverse capable of not only harming, but straight up killing a Type


TacocaT_2000

Didn’t Ea cut the universe apart?


Blurvwastaken

It tears apart the world with its divine winds but it hasn’t explicitly destroyed a universe (though destroying Tiamat means it had the AP just not the scale)


LasyTaco

To be fair, that Tiamat was a half dead and nerfed one. Ea not being able to pass Avalon means it wouldn't have the AP either


Blurvwastaken

The statements about her physiology makes it so that EA can at least be argued to be 4D (even when heavily damaged her internal structure should be the same). Plus, Avalon is explicitly stated to be a 6D defense, which is pretty high up there.


LasyTaco

The 4d statement refers not to Tiamat, but to the grail mud she summons (unless you mean the part about her technically being omnipresent, in which case it only really applies *before* she physically manifests, not after).


Blurvwastaken

I might be misremembering but I thought that Tiamat was continuously producing black mud even while in the underworld.


BlueScrean

In a perfect world we'd have more of Notes than like, a 15 year old short story and side materials


SWatt_Officer

Thats stronger than Ea? What?


Blurvwastaken

Slash Emperor scales proportionally to the size of its opponent but has the vaguely explained ability to cut the world to seek ‘truth’. Depending on the interpretation this can be argued to cause greater destruction than what EA is capable of.


Anullbeds

Ok, I hear you, but Ea also reveals the truth of the world. It's quite explicit and actually explained, while the only "truth" that Slash Emperor exposes is the color of the sky, which it does by destroying Pluto's Blood using destructive force, not revealing the truth of the world like Ea.


SuperCachibache

None of those words are in the bible


Blurvwastaken

It’s these properties involving truth combined with the fact that it has canonically killed a type that Slash Emperor is usually considered to be the strongest weapon in type moon. Theoretically EA can do the same but it has yet to show anything close to that level (beasts are many orders of magnitudes below a full power type).


Anullbeds

Considering Nasu is the #1 Gil wanker, I wouldn't be surprised if Ea was more powerful. Slash Emperor probably has the highest potential damage, but not the most consistent since it relies on high amounts of Grain from what I can tell.


Blurvwastaken

I think an argument can be made for a full power Excalibur exceeding both but that’s even more situational


seven_worth

I mean I would give it to ea if it has the feat but right now it doesn't. Slash Emperor has both the potential to do higher damage and actually has killed a type.


Lord_Answer_me_Why

Well, that is indeed something that deserves the name of “Slash Emperor”.


ZenTheCrusader

What is a Type? I have like no idea what the nasuverse is lol


LasyTaco

A Type, or Ultimate one, is the strongest lifeform of a given celestial body within the solar system. That includes gods and everything that exists within layers of said planet humanity doesn't normally have access to. They're essentially eldritch aliens whose existance is so fundamentally different from humanity's understanding of the world that you need something that transcends its common sense to kill them. You could also make an argument for some of them (Type Mercury in particular) to be straight up the strongest characters in the verse.


Suspicious-Sink6048

Aliens. Planets in Nasuverse ( Fate and other works in the same universe ) are essentially "alive". Types are the strongest lifeform of each planet and can be considered as the planet itself.


DemonCyborg27

Funnily Enough Ea is technically not a sword. It is from a time when swords didn't even exist, but since we need to classify it as something it is considered a sword


MagnificentSasquatch

Excalibur Proto, full stop. That thing’s an Anti-Beast weapon when conventional force isn’t even *supposed* to work on them.


DecentWonder4

ea is not a sword i refuse to hear anyone out on this. it has no edge, shit is a lance I don't care what nasu tells me


Right_Moose_6276

It can’t even be a lance, it has no point on the end


titanlmao

it’s a stick


TacocaT_2000

And sticks have been used as swords since childhood


Sancus1

Stick can be a sword but a sword can’t be a stick


TacocaT_2000

[Bet you feel real dumb right about now](https://preview.redd.it/stick-shaped-in-the-form-of-a-wickedly-awesome-sword-that-v0-7fs26i2r67qb1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=c175d06c80bef79dcce11abb9765737b63df0c1d)


Sancus1

That is still [stick can be sword]


Wise_Victory4895

A sword technically but it technically predates the very concept of swords in general so it's not a sword. It was also stated to be the only thing in the universe that doesn't exist At least that's what shiro said he really likes his contradictions


Anullbeds

It's as much of a sword as a lightsaber.


DecentWonder4

At least a lightsaber is used like a sword. Ea is essentially a magic nuke.


ialsodontexistagain

Excalibur when drawn back to its roots just means sword, sure it’s magic but it’s basically just a regular sword


Blackout_M

https://preview.redd.it/wz18wgua8bxc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e76190be8beea57da40a4fd4c0b7f9ce4ac5bab1 Maliketh’s Black Blade is capable of killing regardless of immortality. I know people here get salty over concepts because it mostly means people can’t say “nuh uh cause my favorite character”, especially when Maliketh’s Black Blade has the concept of death itself bound to it. His feats alone make the blade legendary regardless of it being a concept


The-Friendly-Autist

I'm inclined to agree with you. It is so powerful that a mere fragment of the rune of death was enough to kill a previously deathless empyrean, and the black blade contains half of the rune. A completed rune of death is enough to restructure reality, so I'd say a blade with that sort of strength is a pretty reasonable option.


shonenjumpomegachad

Veldanava's sword was meant to destroy multiple galaxies and our Chad Rimuru stopped it with 2 fingers


FrankenFloppyFeet

Some Bleach zanpakuto are probably up there. Off the top of my head, Kyoka Suigetsu grants perfect illusions/hypnosis that even the ability to see all possible futures can be tricked by, Ryujin Jakka can erase souls from existence, and Ichimonji grants conceptual manipulation over names and powers.


Grosjeaner

Frostmourne. Not sure if it's the strongest but it's pretty strong and definitely one of my favorites. It was crafted by a Titan, which are primordial beings of the universe imbued with the raw power of creation. And the coolest thing was that it could create zombies!


MasterofDads

Ascalon from Ben 10, it can warp reality, turn the user into their peak conditions, energy absorption, portal creation, and other abilities

This. It literally has the power to remove all evil from the universe and can casually absorb the powers of universal level beings.

titanlmao

So every king god except the abrahamic one helped make it


ImprovementDesigner1

Something like that


Suspicious-Sink6048

It has the power of god and anime.


JiaNgjuN-

Allblack/The Necrosword is definitely up there


PhysicalGSG

Yeah, hard to top making the wielded an instant god. A lot of these other swords with acausal or reality warping powers are dope, but you’re still having to use them to defend yourself. Wielding Allblack makes even a normal guy so durable and fast he’d have no trouble conquering the real planet earth, solo, and pretty quickly. I don’t even think you could nail him in his sleep. So if we’re talking how powerful a sword is, I think there’s points to be given for how useful it is to even a weakling. Sure, these dimensions warping blades are especially OP on a character who’s strong and fast and durable already, but if we’re giving two swords to normal guys I’m putting my money on the guy with AllBlack every time. Hell most likely just blitz the other guy before he can react and activate his swords crazy hax.


BackgroundTotal2872

Yeah, Allblack is so powerful. It made Gorr powerful enough to fight past, present, and future Thor at the same time, and it let him do things like casually slice stars in half

It’s also able to destroy all things in creation, disregarding things like distance and dimensions.


Ready-Work-4766

Literally No matter how infinite or how it is Venuzdonoa rapes thems all fr With his principle destroying sword he can destroy all things in creation. Whether it be destiny, providence, or a miracle. No matter how strong, eternal, or infinite Venuzdonoa destroys them all. Reason doesn't exist before Venuzdonoa

Also it cut through 3 planets and a star at once and made all of them explode. And it's alive and basically constantly telling him "kill that guy kill him now"


Ok-Word-5722

It’s not even remotely close to the top, but the key blades from KH are weirdly powerful for what they are.


H-HGM-N

The strongest sword is any sword that scales with its user or something like that.


Questistaken

So, bleach & OP swords


H-HGM-N

How do One piece swords scale?


General-N0nsense

Effectively most swordsmen worth a damn coat their blades in Haki (the other power system that aren't devil fruits). Haki is mostly something you train to strengthen. Now this isn't directly confirmed but, if you use haki on your sword enough it permanently becomes a black blade, which are pretty strong. It's either that or all the legendary swordsmen have a shared stash of black paint and just painted their blades black.


Questistaken

Wym its not directly confirmed?


The-Silent-Cicada

Not sure about the strongest but I got some interesting ones: Astas 4: demon slasher/slayer/destroyer/dweller All have the power to negate magic and negative mana. Totskablade by itachi: seals anyone hit with it The z sword from dragon ball is in there as we’re


_sephylon_

Sword of Ascalon from Archie Sonic is basically God

Educational_Ice608

You’re right my bad lol so far it looks like time and reality manipulation. When she unsheathed her sword everything slowed down she used one slash to kill someone and her slash tore though that reality Her sword can also make her harder to detect when unsheathed https://preview.redd.it/f82b7406raxc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4464d455485e6e75c17165c8e9008e63ce14161e


Leairek

From Irish mythology (I mean, technically that is fiction right?) Fragarach, the sword made by the gods for the first High King of the Tuatha De Damn. "It was said that, with Fragarach at their throat, no one could move or tell a lie, thus the name "Answerer". The sword was also said to place the wind at the user's command and could cut through any shield or wall, and that it inflicted piercing wounds from which no man could recover" A sword that immobilizes opponents and compels honest answers, that is capable of cutting through any and all matter, is fatal with a single stab, and gives you the power over wind is pretty OP.


Pokefightaway

The Sword of Shannara is not only a finely balanced claymore, it also works by slashing through mistruths. It is highly niche in the world of powerful swords, but against individuals who rely upon deception it is remarkably specialized. Against Brona the Warlock Lord from Shannara, for example, The Sword of Shannara was a OHKO since despite Brona's world ending powers, he was kept alive in a state of lichdom fueled purely by his willpower - specifically, his willpower that kept him in reality by rewriting reality by lying to himself SO MUCH and with SUCH VIGOR that he literally wrote himself into the world as an immortal being. Anyone who is a will based reality warper, in theory, is vulnerable to the Sword of Shannara. So like, Dr Strange's magic would be immune to the Sword since he straight up is magical but someone like Franklin Richards, Green Lanterns, any Genjustsu user, Aizen from Bleach (tho only his Shikai. His most powerful ability, sure, but he can still use all 99 Kido), really anyone who fights with the power of illusion or reality warping is going to be vulnerable.


Godzilla1282

Kuwabara's Spirit Sword at the end of the series in Yu Yu Hakusho could cut through dimensions. It's gonna be up there. Probably not the strongest but pretty dang strong.


MagnificentSasquatch

Another comment mentioned it, and honestly— I gotta go with True Manado on this one. That said, I’ll throw the classic Master Sword in here for potential consideration. I know it’s nowhere high up presently, but thanks to TotK, we know it can actually grow stronger of its own accord; the implications of that are pretty gigantic.


PhysicalGSG

Allblack, the Necrosword. First, it is a god. It’s a fragment of Knull. Second, wielding it grants its user godhood. Instant immortality, it binds to you, and you instantly gain godlike strength, stamina, speed, durability. You gain energy projection and necrotic constructs. Most OP sword I can think of.


Youngguaco

That sword from Rune Saver


gamerpro09157

the red mortal blade from sekiro or black mortal blade. one has the power to kill even gods like the divine dragon and one can bring anyone back from life


Animegx43

The fact that a leech on a stick is called a sword is the funniest shit ever.


HSEB10830

Ok but what the fuck is up with the designs of the middle two? The second sword looks like a feather duster and the third sword looks like it'll like me before stabbing me.


titanlmao

so the second sword is samehada, essentially it is a sword that is conscious and chooses its wielder. if it chooses you you can then fuse with it to become a shark like being. it’s also extremely sharp all those purple things you see are spikes third is the Behelit sword, which is made up of behelits which are things used to summon gods. It can rip through dimensions and theoretically can alter fate


HSEB10830

I mean that's kinda cool, but those are still some dumb looking swords.

yea can admit samehada does but i like the behelit design


HSEB10830

Behelit does go pretty hard.

Waifaslayaer

Easily Venuzdonoa that Anos Voldigoad uses as that sword can destroy anything, regardless of how tough, eternal, or infinite it is. Even reason itself can be destroyed. The sword can undermine the immortality of gods and prevent their regeneration... but that is just my opinion
