Katanagatari didn't show anime's best sword fight.
Most anime make their epic sword fights theie biggest highlight, but Katanagatari had its best duel off-screen. Katanagatari is an anime produced by White Fox based on a series of light novels by Nisio Isin that follows a young swordsman named Shichika who fights without a blade, and his companion, the tactician Togame, as they travel around ancient Japan searching for a set of powerful swords.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Throughout the early episodes of the series, the swordsman Hakuhei was being hyped up as one of anime's best swordsman, worthy of being mentioned along characters like Zoro from One Piece and Ichigo from Bleach. The end of episode 3, which revealed Shichika and Togame were going to fight him next was naturally very exciting.
In pranking the viewers with a tantalizing glimpse of a fake fight, the anime is basically confirming to those fans that the show isn't really about sword fighting at all. It also simultaneously introduces a threat to Shichika potentially more deadly than Hakuhei himself in the form of his sister, Nanami, who spends the episode in fights of her own dispatching her opponents with ease.
Despite how perfectly it fits the show, it is still frustrating that such an epic fight will forever remain unseen. But fans looking for epic animated swordplay can watch the myriad of excellently animated sword fights featured in movies like Sword of the Stranger or shows like Samurai Champloo. Katanagatari is the only show that had its most epic sword fight take place off-screen and for that reason it is a show that more people should watch.
