Greatest fictional swordsman?

If we take all swordsmen/women, make all swords unbreakable, equalise stats, remove all other esoteric powers and remove other weapons, so that it's based purely on their skill with a sword - who would come out on top? Does a Jedi come out on top? A pirate? A bronze age hero? A Game of Thrones character? One from Lord of the Rings?

Limiting it to comics, live-action movies and live-action tv.

Tolkien didn't care about fights much. Now Jackson did and Aragorn obviously kicked ass in the films.

GoT characters don't have haxx skill, they're pretty realistic.

Jedi rely on the Force a whole f*cking lot, so we can't assess their skill level properly.

Wolverine has many sword feats. Silver Samurai and Black Knight come to mind, too.

The best would probably be some anime characters.

Just wanna point out Ras is pretty shit at swordfighting......All that experience, and Bats stalemates him.

It'll probably be someone from Bleach or something.

If you remove super-strength, as the OP does, a large portion of video game/manga/anime characters straight up lose the ability to use their swords.

Equalized stats?

Felix Jaeger, Ciaphas Cain, and Lucius the Eternal are some top contenders.

Manga has better swordsmen than Comics. Samurai trumps all

Doubtful. He's a great character, but in the film he was thoroughly trumped by Wesley, and while the novel does differ in it's portrayal of the fight, he still concedes that Wesley is his outright superior when it comes to fighting on flat terrain.
