15 Of The Coolest Anime Weapons That Stand Out From The Rest

From Samurai Katanas, Magic Pistols to Mechas that can lift galaxies, anime is filled with all types of weapons.

In this list, we’ve hand-picked some of the coolest (not necessarily strongest) weapons that we wish we could wield.

Here they are.

Cool Anime Weapons:

1. Yoru (One Piece)

Yoru is wielded by the strongest swordsman in the One Piece world Dracule Mihawk. It’s one of the strongest swords in the anime.

It is also the only black blade we have seen in the series & hence One Piece fans can’t wait to see Mihawk in action. Fans want to see the potential of Yoru.

Even with the little we’ve seen from Mihawk, Yoru easily qualifies to be on this list.

2. Rose Whip (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Kurama can use his spiritual energy to create a whip from a rose, which is strong enough to cut through the skins of some of the strongest demons.

Not only is the Rose Whip strong, but it also perfectly fits Kurama’s gracious character.

3. Crazy Slots (Hunter x Hunter)

Another one of Toagashi’s creations. Crazy Slots is Kite’s nen ability which gives him a random weapon when he activates it.

These weapons can range from a machine gun to a scythe.

Since we weren’t able to see all the weapons in Crazy Slots’ arsenal, it is also kind of a mysterious ability.

4. Excalibur: Sword of Promised Victory (Fate)

Saber’s holy sword Excalibur, is one of the strongest if not the strongest weapons in the Fate franchise.

As the name suggests Excalibur can generate huge amounts of offensive power (if the wielder has enough spiritual energy),

Victory is guaranteed if used pretty much.

5. Death Note (Death Note)

Death Note isn’t just a weapon, it is the main ingredient for the conflict in the show to happen.

Using Death Note you can kill anyone by writing their name on it. Many anime fans have definitely fantasized about having a death note once in their life.

There are various rules Death Note follows, making it pretty complex.

6. Dominator (Psycho-Pass)

Similar to Death Note, Dominator in Psycho-Pass dictates many plot points.

A dominator is a gun, which when aimed at a target reads & sends psychological data. This determines the crime coefficient of the target.

This data then judges whether the target is going to get some kind of punishment by law or not.

7. Samehada (Naruto)

Samehada is no ordinary sword. It feeds off the chakra of the target it hits, making it extremely deadly.

It is one of the seven swords used by Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

We have chosen Samehada over others in this list because it is regarded as the strongest by multiple ninjas in the story.

Plus It is more complex than the others.

8. Nobara’s hammer, nails, and straw doll (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Nobara’s weapons are some of the most unique weapons you’ll find in anime.

She channels her cursed energy through her hammer & nails, which allows her to use these nails as projectiles.

She can also make a connection between the straw doll & her opponent so that she can damage the opponent by hitting the straw doll.

9. Zanpakuto (Bleach)

Zanpakuto is the main power system of Bleach.

Zanpakuto are basically magic swords that have their own will.

These swords can do a lot of things, depending on their wielders.

The special move Bankai makes them some of the coolest weapons to exist in anime.

10. Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a mecha-like mass of energy, larger than the universe itself.

It can manipulate space-time & use galaxies as projectiles.

It is easily the strongest Mecha in all anime.

11. Enma (One Piece)

The sword that can cut through hell itself (metaphorically)

In the current One Piece timeline, Enma is wielded by Roronoa Zoro but 20 years ago it was one of Oden’s swords.

Enma sucks its user’s haki & produces high offensive power, making it hard to control.

Using Enma, Oden was able to scar one of the Yonkou Kaido in the past.

12. The Spirit Spear Chastiefol (The Seven Deadly Sins)

The Spirit Spear Chastiefol is the primary weapon of King, one of the sins.

It’s probably the coolest spears in all of anime.

It can turn into multiple daggers, can levitate & transform into a pillow.

13. Killua’s yo-yos (Hunter x Hunter)

At the start, Killua’s yo-yos are introduced as your normal toys but when Killua starts using them as weapons, they become extremely deadly.

Killua can run electric currents through them & their weight is enough to shatter ground.

14. Dragon Slayer (Berserk)

Any anime weapon list is incomplete without the legendary Dragon Slayer.

Dragon Slayer barely qualifies to be a sword.

It’s basically a huge chunk of metal, which is impractical to be used in combat by normal humans, but Guts being a chad, he uses it as his signature weapon.
