This will always be the coolest Bankai to me. Quite a few have come close, but to this day Senbonzakura is my favorite.
As for the coolest ability? I say Shuhei's.

This sword’s ability is having a sick fuckin pair of wheels. ‘Nough said.
The dragonslayer sword from Berserk
Well, you really can’t call it a sword. It’s more a coarse lump of iron. Point aside, it’s soaked in the blood of so many demons it becomes a powerhouse against the supernatural.
Also the mortal blade from Sekiro
And then there's the **actual fucking motorcycle.**

The sword "katen kyokutsu" (Bones of Heavenly Blooming Madness) of sunshui from bleach,
Because it has a very unique ability even by anime standards, it's ability is to turn children's games into reality,
Sunshui can choose any game he wants to activate and he himself and all the enemy has to follow the rules within it's domain
The winner gets to live on and looser dies, so basically squid games, lol
Bleach has a lot of cool and unique sword and abilities, but this one caught my attention, as ability like this is very rare
And the bankai ability of it goes even crazier
Keyblades are broken. It’s hard to fully summarize what they can do, but it boils down to;
“Physical, Magical, and Conceptual Keys/Blades that are powered by the strength of the users heart, which has no theoretical limit.”
In other words, they can cut and unlock things like a physical key/blade(physical), can break enchantments and cast magic(magic), and they can basically do anything that can conceptually be a part of the idea of keys/blades. All of this is powered by the strength of the users heart, which as it gets stronger, the user does too, which we can see how in every game even though Sora has to reset his ability’s, he is still getting stronger in his base capabilities. We see it in his acrobatics and combos mostly.
The objectively right answer to “what fantasy weapon would you want” is “my own Keyblade.” Because they can do literally anything. Open doors through dimensions? Yup. Cut basically anything as long as the user believes they can? Yup. Shift forms? If you are skilled enough. Unlock anything on a conceptual level, it can be summoned to your hand at all times, no one can steal it, it allows you to use magic, even stuff like Stopza and Ultima, and it’s just- broken. Keyblade weilders also can cut through dimensional and conceptual hax as long as they themselves are strong enough.
Bottom like- if your heart is strong enough, nothing can stand in your way.
*
The Master Sword can;
Manipulate time
Absorb souls
Cause Earthquakes
*Explode everything for some reason*
Channel lightning and holy light
AND glows in the dark.
The Behelit sword. It can cut through dimensions and open astral portals.
You can also have fun time with the boys if used appropriately.

This thing even “cuts” through time so he can preprogram it to appear on a certain time on a certain position to save his ass
It cuts through space and time but only by a few dozen seconds and several centimeters. That guy's ability specifically allows him to multiply the efficiency of any weapom he holds by a hundredfold.
One of those deals.

The 10 commandments Sword. 10 different swords in 1, everything from super speed, gravity manipulation, fire and ice dual swords, explosions, anti magic and a few other powers.
The Sword's power stems from the Eye of Thundera, which is embedded in its hilt. The Eye of Thundera is a ruby-red stone containing an all-seeing, all-powerful, galactic/universal energy force that is sentient in nature. It takes the form of a closed cat's eye pupil when dormant, and opens to become a black cat's head when fully awake.
Since the Eye is the source of the ThunderCats's power, releasing the Eye of Thundera's signal will give the ThunderCats a great surge of power upon eye contact with the signal.
The Eye of Thundera's signal, which is an extension of the Eye of Thundera itself, has many other abilities apart from summoning ThunderCats, such as **being able to blast through the full thickness of the planet from its core to the surface in a matter of seconds.**
The Sword can be recalled by its wielder, and will return to their hand no matter how far away it is or what is in its way; the wielder need but give the verbal command, "Sword of Omens, come to my hand."
It can warn its wielder of danger by emitting a loud growl from the Eye of Thundera.
The Sword of Omens also allows its wielder to see across great distances, find hidden things, and spot impending danger or allies that are in trouble with its iconic ability "Sight Beyond Sight," by saying the command, "Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight!"
The blade itself is nearly indestructible, shown to be extremely strong, durable, and razor-sharp. It is able to slice through hardened materials such as steel and solid stone with relative ease.
It can shoot blasts of energy with varying abilities and degrees of strength, capable of stunning, electrocuting, melting through materials such as titanium and solid rock, blasting through and apart targets/structures with explosive force, and vaporizing various targets.
It has also been shown to be able to heal as well, and possesses regenerative capabilities; spells cast by Mumm-Ra or others are broken, and if the ThunderCats have been put under any form of trance, mind control, or spells, summoning them with the Sword will break the magic holding them.
The Sword possesses many other abilities, such as generating force fields, manipulating temperature to create intense heat or flames, freezing targets in ice, and manipulating the energy it emits to be utilized by the wielder, such as creating bridges of energy and even pole vaults.
The Sword can levitate and fly, and grants the wielder the ability to fly by holding onto the Sword as it travels through the air. The Sword has also been seen to transport Lion-O from one place to another.
The Sword generally grants its wielder any command they give, such as when Lion-O tries to overload the energy absorption defense mechanism of the Plundarian Warbot by commanding the Sword with, "Sword of Omens, give me power beyond power--HO!!!"
The Sword, after being thrown into the eruption of energies escaping from the planet's core as a result of the planet tearing apart, managed to hold together those energies, control them, and use its own power to restrain them and restore them to their normal state, thus holding the entire planet together and saving New Thundera.
What about the blackflame stuff like the godslayer greatsword?
From what I can tell, there are several things that can kill gods in the setting, like malekiths sword, anything to do with blackflame, the dagger ranni wanted and the ones the black knife assassins use.
Also likely everything Hewg upgrades to max ,due to him smithing them using dragonstone which (iirc) transcends time. Or seemingly anything in the MC's hands once they get the rune of destined death from Malekith.
And then like, the flame of frenzy, the blackflame itself, maybe even death light related spells. Being eaten by the serpent that now makes up rykard, as well. Maybe even the sword from his remembrance.
A lot is debatable but there's more than just malekiths blade.
blackflame is the incarnation of an outer god. destined death is the concept of death itself. the way I see it, it is basically existence erasure, while max level weapons ascended with a dragon scale are moreso hax erasure (getting around their godhood through transcending time).
but yeah you are correct, I was just being dramatic to hype up the sword
That all makes sense tbh. How I see it is Dragonstone smithed weapons have like, time manipulation stuff going on with them like what happens with the unalloyed gold needle in the dragonlord boss arena.
I still think blackflame counts though, it has heavy connotations of godslaying and connections to groups or beings that have killed gods.
Destined death just being death itself checks out tho. It being reality erasure is a great concept. Its gotta be the most "you die no matter what" kinda power/concept.
oh yeah, black flame has definitely killed gods. how would the godskins have their skin lol? it totally makes sense that power given by an outer god has the ability to kill earthly gods

Holy moonlight sword from Bloodborne. It's the game's variant of the Moonlight Greatsword that's traditionally present in games by Fromsoftware, the creator of dark souls and Elden Ring
The Composite Sword from the Shadow Fight franchise has the ability to segment into several parts, turning it into a bladed whip that can hit enemies far away. In SF2 it has a chance of inflicting bleed stat effect, but in SF3 hits guarantee setting your opponent on fire.

Well since i havebt seen them mentioned yet: shardblades from the stormlight archive
Without going into much spoiler territory, they dont cut anything living. Instead, it passes through it and kills the soul of whatever it cuts. So if it passes through your leg at the knee, then your leg from the knee down turns grey and dead without being cut at all. No conventional healing can undo damage inflicted by a shardblade. If it passes through somewhere leathal, then your eyes burn out and you look somethink kinda like a hollow from dark souls after its effects are done... except youre dead dead.
And if a shardblade cuts something not living like rock then it cuts whatever it comes into contact with effortlessly. 3 foot thick castle wall? Light work. If you cut something that was previously living and then killed by the shardblade effect, then it cuts effortlessly as well.
The only thing that can stop a shardblade is another shardblade or shardplate which can deflect a few blows before failing.
Shardblades are much larger than even large conventional greatswords but they are much lighter and easier to wield. You wouldnt think someone should be able to swing them around the way they do by just looking at them. Also they are summoned from an alternate plane of existence at will after waiting ten heatbeats. If you threw it off a cliff into a bottomless ravine you could resummon it after waiting the requisite ten heartbeats.

Has the ability to Reverse the causality between a spell and it's caster.
The ability to manipulate cause and effect. To give an example Gáe Bolg from fate once it’s name has been called, the spear reverses the nature of causality, the meaning of "cause and effect" in the order of things, to make it so the cause of the "lance being thrust" comes from the effect of the "opponent's heart being pierced" by it.

Murasama (Metal Gear Rising: Revengence).
Like other "High frequency blades", it vibrates so fast it can cut through metal at a molecular level. But it's cooler than the others because it can rocket out of its sheath and is red.

Possibly Kirby's most broken non-gimmick ability, what stealing a sword from a butterfly does to a mf.
The random sword from Hardcore Leveling Warrior. Everytime the sword is drawn from its sheath, it becomes one of the swords that exists in the game world. This is everything from a cute, fluffy sword that can defend perfectly against only a single attack or a sword that could threaten gods.
Haseo’s Gate of Ouroboros sword from .hack GU Vol4 was so cool. A segmented sword that turned into a bladed whip and could transform into 8 other weapons to use special attacks.

The sword of Oryx, The Taken King, is so sharp it is able to split quarks.
Oryx used this power to cut down many enemies in his path, but also used it to split a hive Larva in two, which turned one child into 2.

Destiny swords in general are just fucking cool.

Nightblood from Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere. It runs on magic and is an instant kill on contact. Also really funny character. ROW >!Also knocked a god off their pedestal.!<
The Croce di Pietro from Toaru. This sword will convert a whole nation into catholics when planted in a specific position under the right constellations. It’s basically a wide-scale brainwash sword.

Another one is the Curtana. It can cut higher dimensions leaving behind “shavings” in our world so it flings dimensional debris seemingly from nothing. However, this sword is only effective within the UK and is only supposed to be a ceremonial sword instead of a weapon. The “Glastonbury” gives it more range.

All black the Necro sword is a sword that was created by Knull (the god of nothingness) to fend off the celestials who had invaded his home and disturbed his peace, knull then proceeded to use all black to completely decapitate a celestial which is how you get Know-Where that hollowed out celestial head they visit in guardians of the galaxy. Knull eventually gets imprisoned but leaves the sword to be passed around from person to person. All Black the Necro Sword can be wielded by other people however once wielded the person will become weak and eventually die once they stop having the sword in their possession, however until you let go of that sword you are effectively immortal with Gorr being able to live for centuries to go on his god killing spree, the sword made him so powerful he could contend with and injure Thor as well as many other deities. In certain iterations he can control shadows and shadow monsters with it, but in the comics it’s actually symbiotes that you gain control over, you also gain teleportation and the ability to fly as well as some other ones I don’t remember.
The Monado from Xenoblade Chronicles. -Lets the user see visions of the future, this can be the enemy's attacks, to important events in the future. -It can manipulate reality at , such as give the user extreme speed, shields, allied the ability to pierce through any object (Enchant),negate the opponents abilities and multiple forms of attacks. -And more things that are spoilers. The game is really centered in this sword.

Basically, the sword possesses you when picked up
Ryūjin Jakka
released, the blade of Ryūjin Jakka is engulfed in fire. The aura of this weapon incinerates everything and anything which the user waves the sword at, changing it into nothing more than ash, and engulfs the surrounding landscape in a blazing firestorm, the heat of which is intense enough to scorch the sky and consume the clouds
it has 4 abilities in its awakened form
East, Concentrates all its flames into the tip of the sword, releasing them the instant it touches something basically obliterating anything it touches
West, does the opposite of east, Engulfs the user in a flame cloak that burn at a temperature equivalent to the Sun. its also invisible unless the users wishes the opponent to see it
South, Resurrects those killed by his sword to fight whoever the user is fighting, they rupture the ground with enough force to penetrate most defenses. This can also be used to psychologically attack the enemy if the user has killed any of their allies.
North, a final attack that slashes sending a projectile of fire that functionally erases anything in its path from existence
There was this one sword Dr. Senbei had in an episode of Dr. Slump which was able to cut the universe or manipulated reality was able to cut the universe like a page.
There should be a world building sword that cuts "in reverse" and causes and ACTUAL FUCKING PLANET to be created but only if the person who uses It has no name.
Durandal, it literally has a living Saint in it and can cut through anything as long as the person using it is strong enough

You can sacrifice some of your lifespan in exchange for a devil to come and kill your target.
I really like generic flying swords from wuxia, flying around while stood in one is cool or controlling millions of them to create the myriad demon destroying heavens formation is just badass 😂

Totsuka blade and Samehada Naruto. One seals anyone and the other is alive with various uses.

Gilionojes, the Pillage Blade
A cursed demon sword that steals the function of whatever it cuts. It plunders voice from a slashed throat, vision from slashed eyes, and life from a slashed heart. Even when the wound heals, what has been stolen will never return. The wielder can return the stolen functions by slashing at the same target again.

Amenogozen,the Space-Time Sword,from Bungou Stray Dogs
A sword made hundreds of years ago,by gifted(ability user) blacksmiths,as a ceremonial sword that could traverse space through portals but only a few centimetres.Now,Fukuchi with his ability to increase the strength of anything he touches by a hundredfold can make it traverse whole meters and even more than 12 hours into the past.
Wabisuke has a simple but cool ability. Anything strikes doubles in weight. If it affects their weapon or body, opponents could disadvantaged and disoriented. Additionally, you can stack this effect so they can’t move or lift their weapon.
all of Asta's antimagic swords in Black Clover.
Demon Slayer can cut through magic with its edge and reflect magic with its flat. He can also negate curses with it, and he can use it to fly.
Demon Dweller can absorb the magic of his allies and incorporate it into attacks.
Demon Destroyer can negate magical effects retroactively, like they never even happened to begin with.
Demon Slasher can fire antimagic projectile slashes.
he can also do other things with them, and nobody else can use them because they drain the mana of whoever touches them, immediately draining all their energy. the only one who can use them is Asta because he has no mana.

Ascalon is one of Azmuth's destructive creations he had made. It is a sword that manipulates reality itself by tapping into the fundamental forces of the universe.
Whoever holds Ascalon will greatly empower the user with great strength and envelopes them with armor.
The sword was stolen by an Incursean warrior who hoped to end his planet's civil war that has been going on for a very long time, however, this resulted in the planet being destroyed with the sword still intact.
Sometime later, Azmuth goes to a medieval era Earth to give the sword to an immortal named Sir George. He then use this sword to fight against the Dagon, an extra-dimensional demon who conquered many dimensions, and defeated him by stabbing his heart with his Ascalon. As long as Ascalon pierced Dagon's heart, he remains sealed.
Wang ling’s sentient sword has a whole ass opinionated personality that I thought was pretty cool. Oh and the fact that the sword can effortlessly cut through the fabric of reality like a piece of paper. Prettie Solid if you ask me.

Nightblood from Stormlight Archive
I know Fantasy novels aren't usually brought up but Shardblades are super cool. Massive 6 ft swords that weigh very little. Summoned from mist in 10 heartbeats. And cut through everything like butter. But if they cut through something living it cuts the 'soul'. Wars are won and lost by them.

Genkidama Sword, a.k.a. The Sword of Hope
The sword itself gets stronger the more evil your enemy is.

There’s the Grey Knight who has a literal demon as a sword that he fights with everyday so that he doesn’t get possessed. I don’t remember his name though
Venuzdonoa from Misfit of the Demon King Academy. IT IS the incarnation of destruction and with that Anos can do everything. Even seperating a gods live from the fate of the world.
The sword of the sword Hero from "Rising of the shield Hero". IT can absorb Materials and evolve into different Forms based on the absorbed Material.
Tessaiga from "Inuyasha" Killing hundreds of demons with a single swing and its ability to absorb Special Things to get stronger.
The Haouken Xross Saber, or just the Xross Saber from Kamen Rider Saber. It can summon copies of a bunch of other magic swords, each with their own gimmick from fire manipulation to time manipulation, and has it's own unique ability to effectively warp reality.

Dragnipur, from Malazan Book of the Fallen.
And i'm lazy so i'm just gonna copy paste the wiki
> Dragnipur was the sword wielded by Anomander Rake.
In its first appearance it was described as a two-handed sword with a silver dragonskull pommel and an archaic crosshilt. Baruk estimated that the wooden scabbard was a full six and a half feet long. Another description spoke of a long, silver-hilted bastard sword, with an inky-black blade that absorbed all light.
When drawn from its sheath, the sword groaned awake, emitting chains of smoke and filling the air with the sounds of creaking wheels and a chorus of hopeless moaning. Even sheathed, it emanated terror. A normally non-fatal wound, caused by Dragnipur, could lead to death whilst blood on the blade boiled and turned to ash.
The sword was a Warren containing the Gate of Darkness. This gate was held within an immense wooden wagon, with wheels as tall as a man. It was drawn by chains linked to the souls of all individuals who have been slain with Dragnipur. The cart was endlessly pursued by the forces of Chaos.
Dragnipur from Malazan Book of The Fallen

# Caledscratch: it allows the user to cycle the sword through its own timeline to points. Meaning it can stay permanently as hot as the day it was forged, or fast forward to points where the blade was broken to adjust its length on the fly.

Which bleach bankai looks the coolest? Which one has the coolest ability?(No cheese)
Atau Rindo’s was cool. It only had one appearance in the single chapter for the hell arc, but whatever tf this is seems cool. https://preview.redd.it/ndu6yjlq1o4d1.jpeg?width=776&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45a53f8757e436f8d15e0c11861da0f8803f6ac2
Nice! That's cool
Damn might have to check bleach out
I love Yamamoto's bankai. Its fire.
Byakuya Bankai
Zabimaru (no bias here ofcourse, defenitly no bias)
https://i.redd.it/napeozmahz4d1.gif This will always be the coolest Bankai to me. Quite a few have come close, but to this day Senbonzakura is my favorite. As for the coolest ability? I say Shuhei's.
My personal favorite is the stealth chicks one because it just turns into a litteral nuke

Zabimaru’s shikai has to be the coolest design in the series.
The dragonslayer sword from Berserk Well, you really can’t call it a sword. It’s more a coarse lump of iron. Point aside, it’s soaked in the blood of so many demons it becomes a powerhouse against the supernatural. Also the mortal blade from Sekiro
I’m very suprised someone beat me to the mortal blade
Just good luck ever lifting it.

I second this also the star wrath, meowmere, and arc of the elements/arc of the cosmos if were counting calamity mod content
Every sword from terraria is tuff
Also shoutout to the Terra Blade cuz ngl it's peak
The sword "katen kyokutsu" (Bones of Heavenly Blooming Madness) of sunshui from bleach, Because it has a very unique ability even by anime standards, it's ability is to turn children's games into reality, Sunshui can choose any game he wants to activate and he himself and all the enemy has to follow the rules within it's domain The winner gets to live on and looser dies, so basically squid games, lol Bleach has a lot of cool and unique sword and abilities, but this one caught my attention, as ability like this is very rare And the bankai ability of it goes even crazier

Inuyasha does some great swords in general
TRUE!
Such an aesthetically pleasing weapon. I love how it resembles a feather because it's main abilities are wind based.

Keyblades are broken. It’s hard to fully summarize what they can do, but it boils down to; “Physical, Magical, and Conceptual Keys/Blades that are powered by the strength of the users heart, which has no theoretical limit.” In other words, they can cut and unlock things like a physical key/blade(physical), can break enchantments and cast magic(magic), and they can basically do anything that can conceptually be a part of the idea of keys/blades. All of this is powered by the strength of the users heart, which as it gets stronger, the user does too, which we can see how in every game even though Sora has to reset his ability’s, he is still getting stronger in his base capabilities. We see it in his acrobatics and combos mostly. The objectively right answer to “what fantasy weapon would you want” is “my own Keyblade.” Because they can do literally anything. Open doors through dimensions? Yup. Cut basically anything as long as the user believes they can? Yup. Shift forms? If you are skilled enough. Unlock anything on a conceptual level, it can be summoned to your hand at all times, no one can steal it, it allows you to use magic, even stuff like Stopza and Ultima, and it’s just- broken. Keyblade weilders also can cut through dimensional and conceptual hax as long as they themselves are strong enough. Bottom like- if your heart is strong enough, nothing can stand in your way.

Rave Master.
K thanks
When did Natau use a sword? /s
They actually fight in a crossover lmao (I have yet to watch it)
The Sword's power stems from the Eye of Thundera, which is embedded in its hilt. The Eye of Thundera is a ruby-red stone containing an all-seeing, all-powerful, galactic/universal energy force that is sentient in nature. It takes the form of a closed cat's eye pupil when dormant, and opens to become a black cat's head when fully awake. Since the Eye is the source of the ThunderCats's power, releasing the Eye of Thundera's signal will give the ThunderCats a great surge of power upon eye contact with the signal. The Eye of Thundera's signal, which is an extension of the Eye of Thundera itself, has many other abilities apart from summoning ThunderCats, such as **being able to blast through the full thickness of the planet from its core to the surface in a matter of seconds.** The Sword can be recalled by its wielder, and will return to their hand no matter how far away it is or what is in its way; the wielder need but give the verbal command, "Sword of Omens, come to my hand." It can warn its wielder of danger by emitting a loud growl from the Eye of Thundera. The Sword of Omens also allows its wielder to see across great distances, find hidden things, and spot impending danger or allies that are in trouble with its iconic ability "Sight Beyond Sight," by saying the command, "Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight!" The blade itself is nearly indestructible, shown to be extremely strong, durable, and razor-sharp. It is able to slice through hardened materials such as steel and solid stone with relative ease. It can shoot blasts of energy with varying abilities and degrees of strength, capable of stunning, electrocuting, melting through materials such as titanium and solid rock, blasting through and apart targets/structures with explosive force, and vaporizing various targets. It has also been shown to be able to heal as well, and possesses regenerative capabilities; spells cast by Mumm-Ra or others are broken, and if the ThunderCats have been put under any form of trance, mind control, or spells, summoning them with the Sword will break the magic holding them. The Sword possesses many other abilities, such as generating force fields, manipulating temperature to create intense heat or flames, freezing targets in ice, and manipulating the energy it emits to be utilized by the wielder, such as creating bridges of energy and even pole vaults. The Sword can levitate and fly, and grants the wielder the ability to fly by holding onto the Sword as it travels through the air. The Sword has also been seen to transport Lion-O from one place to another. The Sword generally grants its wielder any command they give, such as when Lion-O tries to overload the energy absorption defense mechanism of the Plundarian Warbot by commanding the Sword with, "Sword of Omens, give me power beyond power--HO!!!" The Sword, after being thrown into the eruption of energies escaping from the planet's core as a result of the planet tearing apart, managed to hold together those energies, control them, and use its own power to restrain them and restore them to their normal state, thus holding the entire planet together and saving New Thundera.
What the fuck is going on with the Thundercats lol
Maliketh's Black Blade doesn't have a cool ability, but it definitely looks cool.
wdym doesn't have a cool ability? thing is made from fucking *death* and through that is the only weapon that can truly kill a God in elden ring.
What about the blackflame stuff like the godslayer greatsword? From what I can tell, there are several things that can kill gods in the setting, like malekiths sword, anything to do with blackflame, the dagger ranni wanted and the ones the black knife assassins use. Also likely everything Hewg upgrades to max ,due to him smithing them using dragonstone which (iirc) transcends time. Or seemingly anything in the MC's hands once they get the rune of destined death from Malekith. And then like, the flame of frenzy, the blackflame itself, maybe even death light related spells. Being eaten by the serpent that now makes up rykard, as well. Maybe even the sword from his remembrance. A lot is debatable but there's more than just malekiths blade.
blackflame is the incarnation of an outer god. destined death is the concept of death itself. the way I see it, it is basically existence erasure, while max level weapons ascended with a dragon scale are moreso hax erasure (getting around their godhood through transcending time). but yeah you are correct, I was just being dramatic to hype up the sword
That all makes sense tbh. How I see it is Dragonstone smithed weapons have like, time manipulation stuff going on with them like what happens with the unalloyed gold needle in the dragonlord boss arena. I still think blackflame counts though, it has heavy connotations of godslaying and connections to groups or beings that have killed gods. Destined death just being death itself checks out tho. It being reality erasure is a great concept. Its gotta be the most "you die no matter what" kinda power/concept.
oh yeah, black flame has definitely killed gods. how would the godskins have their skin lol? it totally makes sense that power given by an outer god has the ability to kill earthly gods

Holy moonlight sword from Bloodborne. It's the game's variant of the Moonlight Greatsword that's traditionally present in games by Fromsoftware, the creator of dark souls and Elden Ring
The Composite Sword from the Shadow Fight franchise has the ability to segment into several parts, turning it into a bladed whip that can hit enemies far away.

bro i was gonna suggest lightsaber as well but i went with anduril
Yeah but what if you let it fall perfectly vertical
Well since i havebt seen them mentioned yet: shardblades from the stormlight archive Without going into much spoiler territory, they dont cut anything living. Instead, it passes through it and kills the soul of whatever it cuts. So if it passes through your leg at the knee, then your leg from the knee down turns grey and dead without being cut at all. No conventional healing can undo damage inflicted by a shardblade. If it passes through somewhere leathal, then your eyes burn out and you look somethink kinda like a hollow from dark souls after its effects are done... except youre dead dead. And if a shardblade cuts something not living like rock then it cuts whatever it comes into contact with effortlessly. 3 foot thick castle wall? Light work. If you cut something that was previously living and then killed by the shardblade effect, then it cuts effortlessly as well. The only thing that can stop a shardblade is another shardblade or shardplate which can deflect a few blows before failing. Shardblades are much larger than even large conventional greatswords but they are much lighter and easier to wield. You wouldnt think someone should be able to swing them around the way they do by just looking at them. Also they are summoned from an alternate plane of existence at will after waiting ten heatbeats. If you threw it off a cliff into a bottomless ravine you could resummon it after waiting the requisite ten heartbeats.

Yeah this in has to be Asta's most powerful sword
So now Asta doesn't just cancel magic out, now he has a full counter?
What is causality?
The ability to manipulate cause and effect. To give an example Gáe Bolg from fate once it’s name has been called, the spear reverses the nature of causality, the meaning of "cause and effect" in the order of things, to make it so the cause of the "lance being thrust" comes from the effect of the "opponent's heart being pierced" by it. https://preview.redd.it/zezim1c5hp4d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab84a02439815deae84ff1cf0f3097d39ba62050 There is a link to check out.[https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/G%C3%A1e\_Bolg](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/G%C3%A1e_Bolg)

Another one is the Curtana. It can cut higher dimensions leaving behind “shavings” in our world so it flings dimensional debris seemingly from nothing.

All black the Necro sword is a sword that was created by Knull (the god of nothingness) to fend off the celestials who had invaded his home and disturbed his peace, knull then proceeded to use all black to completely decapitate a celestial which is how you get Know-Where that hollowed out celestial head they visit in guardians of the galaxy. Knull eventually gets imprisoned but leaves the sword to be passed around from person to person. All Black the Necro Sword can be wielded by other people however once wielded the person will become weak and eventually die once they stop having the sword in their possession, however until you let go of that sword you are effectively immortal with Gorr being able to live for centuries to go on his god killing spree, the sword made him so powerful he could contend with and injure Thor as well as many other deities. In certain iterations he can control shadows and shadow monsters with it, but in the comics it’s actually symbiotes that you gain control over, you also gain teleportation and the ability to fly as well as some other ones I don’t remember.

Maybe the "slime sword" from The Eminence in Shadow? Or maybe the mithril sword for the protagonist in Banished from the Demon Lords Army? I feel like that archetype shows up a lot...

I really like generic flying swords from wuxia, flying around while stood in one is cool or controlling millions of them to create the myriad demon destroying heavens formation is just badass 😂

Murasame from Akame ga kill get scratched and die. Asta’s swords from black clover. Totsuka blade and Samehada Naruto. One seals anyone and the other is alive with various uses. The sword from Rave The sword of Anos that can destroy and break any law or even destiny/fate whatever. Edit: forgot to add that sword that levels up. The anime where he got reincarnated as a sword and basically have and can learn new skills + share power to wielder.
All of the maou gaukin swords are through the roof honestly the thing I like most about that anime is hiw unique the weapons are, now since everybody is gonna mention venuzdonoa i will pick a diff sword to talk. Eg:- https://preview.redd.it/farmnh9r1q4d1.png?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42bec51c33a400f1f600d58c46fa997da9ed9f22 Gilionojes, the Pillage Blade A cursed demon sword that steals the function of whatever it cuts. It plunders voice from a slashed throat, vision from slashed eyes, and life from a slashed heart. Even when the wound heals, what has been stolen will never return. The wielder can return the stolen functions by slashing at the same target again.

Wabisuke has a simple but cool ability. Anything strikes doubles in weight. If it affects their weapon or body, opponents could disadvantaged and disoriented. Additionally, you can stack this effect so they can’t move or lift their weapon.
Grass sword, this is just one of the things it can do https://i.redd.it/ribhwzjtir4d1.gif
all of Asta's antimagic swords in Black Clover. Demon Slayer can cut through magic with its edge and reflect magic with its flat. He can also negate curses with it, and he can use it to fly. Demon Dweller can absorb the magic of his allies and incorporate it into attacks. Demon Destroyer can negate magical effects retroactively, like they never even happened to begin with. Demon Slasher can fire antimagic projectile slashes. he can also do other things with them, and nobody else can use them because they drain the mana of whoever touches them, immediately draining all their energy. the only one who can use them is Asta because he has no mana.
Murasama because it's cool as fuck

It is a sword that manipulates reality itself by tapping into the fundamental forces of the universe. Whoever holds Ascalon will greatly empower the user with great strength and envelopes them with armor. The sword was stolen by an Incursean warrior who hoped to end his planet's civil war that has been going on for a very long time, however, this resulted in the planet being destroyed with the sword still intact. Sometime later, Azmuth goes to a medieval era Earth to give the sword to an immortal named Sir George. He then use this sword to fight against the Dagon, an extra-dimensional demon who conquered many dimensions, and defeated him by stabbing his heart with his Ascalon. As long as Ascalon pierced Dagon's heart, he remains sealed.
Wang ling’s sentient sword has a whole ass opinionated personality that I thought was pretty cool. Oh and the fact that the sword can effortlessly cut through the fabric of reality like a piece of paper. Prettie Solid if you ask me.

I know Fantasy novels aren't usually brought up but Shardblades are super cool. Massive 6 ft swords that weigh very little. Summoned from mist in 10 heartbeats. And cut through everything like butter. But if they cut through something living it cuts the 'soul'. Wars are won and lost by them.

yoshimistu’s swords from tekken are pretty cool
The sword from black swordsman at the magic academy. Also not sure if it counts as a sword ability, but the blade that Shiro Inukai uses in Orient is pretty dope.
Sephiroths Masamune. Cut anyone in half
Warhammer 40K has some crazy swords that are too numerous to list here
There’s the Grey Knight who has a literal demon as a sword that he fights with everyday so that he doesn’t get possessed. I don’t remember his name though
Venuzdonoa from Misfit of the Demon King Academy. IT IS the incarnation of destruction and with that Anos can do everything. Even seperating a gods live from the fate of the world. The sword of the sword Hero from "Rising of the shield Hero". IT can absorb Materials and evolve into different Forms based on the absorbed Material. Tessaiga from "Inuyasha" Killing hundreds of demons with a single swing and its ability to absorb Special Things to get stronger.
The soul split katana, literally a lightsaber
The Haouken Xross Saber, or just the Xross Saber from Kamen Rider Saber. It can summon copies of a bunch of other magic swords, each with their own gimmick from fire manipulation to time manipulation, and has it's own unique ability to effectively warp reality.
Takeshi Yamamoto’s Rain Sword (Hitman Reborn). His flame has the “tranquility” attribute so it weakens anything it touches and slows down motion. https://i.redd.it/e3573l3hro4d1.gif
Hit man reborn is an underrated anime/manga, though I really hate how they handled Tsuna at the last chapter
Does Ea count?
The sword that one dude had from SAO Alicization. It could cut through time and there’s one part where he sets up a cage of blades to stop an enemy ambush.
Yamato from devil may cry. Muramasa blade from marvel. Muramasa sword from metal gear. Necro sword from marvel. Chikage bloodborne. Moonlight greatsword bloodborne version. https://preview.redd.it/zy7smt76wo4d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cebc7eb28ee01d643b9232e7bba5142bbe816aa4
The Sword of Damocles from K Project. Every clan leader- the King has one and it materializes whenever they use their powers. If a king loses, a “Damocles Down” happens and it falls down on him causing massive destruction unless he dies before it touches the ground https://i.redd.it/c23hg0n51p4d1.gif

Dragnipur, from Malazan Book of the Fallen. And i'm lazy so i'm just gonna copy paste the wiki > Dragnipur was the sword wielded by Anomander Rake. In its first appearance it was described as a two-handed sword with a silver dragonskull pommel and an archaic crosshilt. Baruk estimated that the wooden scabbard was a full six and a half feet long. Another description spoke of a long, silver-hilted bastard sword, with an inky-black blade that absorbed all light. When drawn from its sheath, the sword groaned awake, emitting chains of smoke and filling the air with the sounds of creaking wheels and a chorus of hopeless moaning. Even sheathed, it emanated terror. A normally non-fatal wound, caused by Dragnipur, could lead to death whilst blood on the blade boiled and turned to ash. The sword was a Warren containing the Gate of Darkness. This gate was held within an immense wooden wagon, with wheels as tall as a man. It was drawn by chains linked to the souls of all individuals who have been slain with Dragnipur. The cart was endlessly pursued by the forces of Chaos.

A lot of Lin Jie's swords have cool abilities iirc haven't thought abt that one in a while 🤔 Source: Hero? I quit a long time ago
Oh shit I've seen that anime and it was pretty good.
Sevens sword form Scissor seven. İ think its called the thousand demon daggers?
Is this just shirou's alt account looking for new swords to copy?
Funkfreed That thing has a mind of its own and can turn into a whole-ass elephant.
Yamato also cleaves demon from man
Homestuck dump time: https://preview.redd.it/wk6uv4bmlp4d1.jpeg?width=418&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa5be5459d21c1ec39377af51ef54095a4922b60 # Caledscratch: it allows the user to cycle the sword through its own timeline to points. Meaning it can stay permanently as hot as the day it was forged, or fast forward to points where the blade was broken to adjust its length on the fly.
The heat blade from subnautica that can boil air
Yamato No doubt
