Despite being a formidable opponent, Fuhrer Bradley remains one of the most beloved and revered characters in the Fullmetal Alchemist series. His superhuman reflexes, unwavering determination, and extensive combat experience make him a force to be reckoned with.
Despite his special eye, which enhances his strengths and enables him to analyze and strategize in any situation with ease, he is often overshadowed by other characters in terms of technique, battle experience, and destructive power. Nevertheless, this does not diminish his reputation as one of the most powerful anime swordsmen in existence.
Please note that this article contains spoilers for the One Piece, Fire Force, One Punch Man, Bleach, Re:Zero, Fate, and Naruto series.
Anime Swordsmen Who Can Beat Fuhrer Bradley
Dracule Mihawk
It is widely acknowledged that Dracule Mihawk is the most powerful swordsman in the One Piece series, as demonstrated by his incredible feat of effortlessly slicing through mountains. His status as a character in the One Piece universe automatically places him above the power level of the Full Metal Alchemist characters.
Despite some fans arguing that Bradley’s unique eye may give him a slight advantage, it should be acknowledged that Mihawk possesses unparalleled mastery of both armament and observation Haki, ensuring his superiority over Bradley in every aspect.
Character Profile: Arthur Boyle
Arthur Boyle, a character from the Fire Force series, is yet another anime swordsman who can be classified as excessively overpowered. His weapon of choice is a fire sword, but his true source of power lies in his delusions, which convince him that he is the legendary King Arthur. The intensity of Arthur’s delusions directly correlates with his strength, making him a formidable opponent.
Arthur’s most impressive accomplishments consist of effortlessly splitting the moon in two with a single strike and outpacing opponents quicker than even King Bradley. Although Bradley may possess superior battle experience and tactics, Arthur’s delusions will ultimately overpower them with ease.
3) Character Profile: Saber (Artoria Pendragon)
Artoria Pendragon, also known as “Saber,” is the Fate adaptation of King Arthur, inspired by the famous legends. She is renowned as one of the most powerful servants in the Fate series and is also a highly skilled swordsman.
In terms of pure destructive power, speed, swordsmanship, battle IQ, and experience, she surpasses King Bradley. This is enhanced by the fact that the power level of the Fate universe far exceeds that of the Full Metal Alchemist universe.
Atomic Samurai
One Punch Man series presents Atomic Samurai as a highly skilled and charismatic swordsman. While some viewers may compare his abilities to King Bradley’s, Atomic Samurai’s unparalleled strength, endurance, and precision, combined with his incredible destructive force, clearly surpasses him.
Atomic Samurai would emerge victorious in any heated battle between these two anime swordsmen.
5) Captain Kenpachi Zaraki
Despite arguments that King Bradley may have an initial advantage with his cunning and powerful eye, Kenpachi is widely considered to be the most brutal and ferocious character in Bleach. His immense physical strength would ultimately overpower Bradley to a significant extent.
Furthermore, in terms of speed, power, battle IQ, and experience, Kenpachi far outshines Bradley thanks to his innate tendency towards violence, coupled with his age of over 1,000 years.
Reinhard Van Astrea’s Biography
Despite being open to debate, Reinhardt can be considered the most powerful character in the Re:Zero series due to his possession of nearly every blessing, divine protection, and buff available to him.
In the Re:Zero series, Reinhardt is often compared to a natural force, capable of turning any situation in his favor. He surpasses Bradley in terms of speed, strength, and swordsmanship, which is only amplified by his literal inability to die.
Gilgamesh: An Epic Tale of Gods and Heroes
Despite not conforming to the typical image of an anime swordsman, Gilgamesh possesses a unique and cherished weapon, known as “Ea.”Although his sword fighting skills may not be comparable to those of other characters mentioned on this list, he makes up for it with incredible destructive force, an endless array of weapons, and the extraordinary ability to see into both the past and future.
In any scenario where Gilgamesh and Bradley engage in an all-out fight, Gilgamesh would emerge as the victor.
8) That one
Toji’s position as the ultimate representation of human strength in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe is solidified by his possession of the Heavenly Restriction, which elevates his physical abilities above all others.
Although some fans may believe that Toji and King Bradley are evenly matched, it is important to acknowledge that Toji’s abilities in terms of speed and strength exceed those of King Bradley. Bradley heavily relies on his battle intelligence and unique eye to overcome and defeat his enemies.
Despite Bradley’s advantage in battle experience, Toji’s use of assassination tactics and unconventional arsenal of weapons, combined with his immense physical strength, would easily overpower Bradley in every aspect.
Despite never making a physical appearance in the One Piece anime or manga, Ryuma remains one of the most enigmatic characters. It is widely believed that his strength rivals, if not exceeds, that of Mihawk.
As one of the most formidable characters in the One Piece world, his dedication to swordsmanship only serves to solidify his dominance over Bradley.
Sasuke
Despite the Naruto series not being centered around swordsmanship, Sasuke stands out as one of its most notable and extensively studied swordsmen, wielding a sword known as Kusanagi.
Despite appearing to possess similar physical strength as Bradley, Sasuke’s arsenal, consisting of the Susano’o and superior speed, would effortlessly overpower Bradley. Unfortunately, King Bradley lacks any means to counter Sasuke’s abilities, such as his healing, teleportation, and Sharingan.
Final thoughts
Despite the fact that Fuhrer Bradley will undoubtedly be defeated by most of the “overpowered”anime swordsmen, it should be recognized that these defeats rely on the use of overpowered techniques and an exaggerated power level in order to successfully overcome him.
Despite the Fullmetal Alchemist series ending almost a decade ago, Bradley’s exceptional swordsmanship and battle skills set him apart from a “normal”swordsman, making him capable of defeating even the most formidable opponents. This serves as a testament to his enduring significance as a character, who continues to be discussed and admired.
