Ranking anime weapons is a challenging task, but it’s one we can happily decide. If you are considering the anime date back to 1963 Astro Boy, you will find thousands of weapons. The nature of anime allows for a broad variety of items to be considered weapons. What’s important about anime is how they are used and what is the intended purpose which will determine its deadly nature. Anime has been extremely popular since the early 60’s and here we have ranked the top 10 most powerful anime weapons.
10 Strike Freedom Gundam
Considering a number of
anime series and films to find the best of them, here we have ZGMF-x20A Strike Freedom Gundam. It truly stands out for its incredible arsenal and mobility. The weapon comprises a head-mounted CIWS, grin rifles, rail guns, and multi-phase cannon. It’s not a heavy armor in comparison to others but the speed and maneuverability make it the deadliest of all.
9 Satellite Orbital Laser (Akira)
We considered using Akira as a weapon for this list due to its deadly accurate and powerful nature. It can easily vaporize any person. On Tetsuo, it injured his right arm but before it could end the job, he flew in space and destroyed it. The SOL is built in WWIII and its use in warfare is evidently demonstrated.
8 Dragon Slayer (Berserk)
The
Dragon Slayer is an enormous sword wielded by Guts in the anime. This is the major weapon he used to kill whizzes in his mantle. The weapon is significantly heavy and large which makes it a bladed club than a traditional sword. The blade is enhanced with time and through the blood of mystic opponents. Its strength has increased the ability to slay deadlier foes such as evil spirits and monsters.
The weapon is used by Sheere in Akame Ga Kill. Extase is horribly sharp and is believed to cut through any material. Thanks to its great durability which makes it capable of deflecting bullets. The size of the weapon makes it an offensive asset and a shield. It has successfully withstood even the most powerful blows from Hekatonkheires. It’s not merely a giant scissor weapon rather it has a special attack which emits a blinding flash of light without hurting the wielder’s vision. Additionally, it features panda bear sticker on one of the handles and you can’t take it lightly.
6 Fang Regalia (Air Gear)
Air Gear is an exceptional anime weapon that you might not consider powerful. Rollerblades are the weapon of choice in this series dedicated to speed and rollerblading higher and faster. The power of these skates is impressive when they are strapped on and used. The weapon not only allows the wearer to glide across the street and over the buildings with ease but also transform inertia energy into an incredible shockwave.
5 Saiga Camera (Speed Grapher)
You may not consider something as pervasive and ordinary as a camera. In the world of speed grapher, this is exactly what Saiga’s camera. This camera is capable of capturing anything in its viewfinder for its special abilities of Kagura. It simply requires a press of the button to take a picture and whatever Saiga captures will surely don’t have a good day.
4 Tessaiga (INU YASHA)
The blade is founded by his father and feature its own fangs. This sword of life is capable of bringing about 100 lives back to life with just one strike. Initially, the two blades were a single weapon which was divided into two blades, one for every son. The blade is capable of transforming itself and absorb the powers of anything which comes in contact with. Also, it becomes more powerful every time it is used in combat against an enemy.
3 Scissor Blades
The
Scissor Blades are two distinct anime weapons which are combined in a single armament known as the rending scissors. They are constructed with hardened life fibers which let them cut through Goku Uniforms. The red scissor blade is welded into a two-handed sword and is capable of changing its size and absorb life fibers. The purple scissor blade is somewhat shorter though it can reconfigure itself into a strong form with a curved blade. When two blades are combined into the rending scissors, they prevent regeneration and can utilize their individual abilities which makes them the deadliest weapons.
2 Bustermarm Sword (Fairy Tail)
The Bustermarm Sword is a magical anime sword which is about four times the size of the person wielding it. The sword is hilariously gigantic and incredibly deadly due to its size and sharp double-edged bade. The Bustermarm is capable of easily cutting through the Earth with almost no effort and can also easily cut through iron. The blade was brandished by Panther Lily in the anime, though it was eventually destroyed against Gajeel Redfox. It remained a difficult weapon in Fairy Tail and undoubtedly an awesome sword to hold.
1 Death Note
The Death Note is the most powerful and destructive among anime weapons. The death note has the ability to kill anyone by writing their name and picturing them who picks up a note and uses it. The death can be determined by marking the time, place and other details of the death. The weapon is deadliest as it isn’t indiscriminate and is always lethal.
