General & Others Which do you prefer? Swordsmens or Martial Artists.

[Eagle]

I know swordsmanship is also a martial art, but I'm asking in terms of skill. I'm not asking which is stronger, I'm asking which you prefer: Swordsmen (who fight with swords or blades) or Martial Artists (who fight with fists or legs)??

Definitely Martial Arts. Anyway you forgot Okama kenpo heehaw

 

[Wh1p]

I prefer swordsmanship because I think Oda does a better job expanding on it such as the mysterious will of the blade and the way haki can be applied to it (breath of all things). Martial arts is definitely cool too though.

In One Piece (and manga in general) I prefer martial arts.

It looks better estaethically most of the time, you can actually see the impact of attacks and not just characters standing behind each other and sheathing their swords.

As far as good swordfighting in manga goes, Vagabond is at the top for sure.

Naruto had a couple of good scenes of sword or bladefighting. One Punch Man too. And Sakamoto Days has a couple of blade users but not so many blade vs blade fights.

For me Martial Artists are more cool than Swordsmans.

 

[SakazOuki]

One piece has no martial artists, this is what they usually look like

Lol.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Martial artists have cooler skills imo. Rokushiki was so cool and fishman karate, black leg style, and even new Kama kenpo is always unique and fun

INB4 "Shanks is not a swordsman, he has no sword style" copium begins.

 

[Mr. Tuna Sandwich]

Swordsmanship is martial art

[Cuistot]

In OP swordsmanship. In any other media martial arts >>

 

[BlackLegFring]

Martial arts. Oda is just better at depicting it visually. His typical visuals for swordfights are pretty stale or one-note.

 

[Fn Lucci]

Hand to hand combat is always my favorite, but I like the sword fights in OP

 

[NAMELESS]

Swordsman have better AP.

 

[Eagle]

Swordsmanship is martial art

That's exactly what I said, you functional illiterate.

No, it's not. Zoro is not the only swordsman that exists in OP, just as Sanji is not the only Martial Artist that exists in OP.

Guns

Pathetic.
