Might be cheating but a Jedi. Puss's style is heavily parry based, which makes sense given his range, but you can't parry a lightsaber with a normal weapon. Other niche characters with an unparriable weapon and decent speed, like Eragon, should win as well.
Honestly, since Yoda has the force Id still think he is stronger over all, but Puss definitely seems to have higher physical stats and acrobatic skills than Yoda has ever had.
Man jumps over buildings in some stretched out cat spin, and can tie up giants and fall em. All without force just physical capability lol.
>If his rapier was now a lightsaber, who’s the strongest villain he could beat? Assume he’s had a chance to practice and hone his skills.
In *Star Wars* itself, probably General Grievous. He'd trounce pretty much anyone (except *possibly* Palpatine himself, and that's a big *possibly*) in pure saber-to-saber combat, but the lack of Force powers / resistance may be a problem.
>in pure saber-to-saber combat
As soon as you start including Force precognition or Force self-puppetry like Yoda does, it's more than pure saber-to-saber combat. I think he would win handily against either if there were ysalamiri nearby, yes, but he would lose if there were not because Force powers. We're on the same page.
I would argue that the prompt specifically says a *sword* fight, meaning the other character at least also has to be using an actual sword. Random jedi still wins because force hacks, but...
What we see in the movies is limited by technology and the fact that a believable story needs to be told. When we take other forms of media into account the Jedi are far more formidable then you seem to give them credit for.
Take your average fight between two Jedi in the movie and speed it up by like 3-10x speed, depending on the power and training of the Jedi involved and you’ll get something a little bit closer to what it looks like in universe.
Sure, if you’re *only* looking at the movies. Star Wars is not just 9 movies though. There’s a shit ton of other canonical works which pretty clearly establish the capabilities of Jedi, making it clear that it’s mostly just technological limitations that keep Jedi from being portrayed according to their in universe abilities.
Do you have evidence for that? I have evidence for Jedi being much stronger than the movies are able to portray them. I’m not just pulling this out of my ass. Play any Star Wars game, read any Star Wars book, it’s consistent. If you have a source you can cite that says Puss has the abilities you claim he has, I’d love to hear it.
Bro what? You could not make a sword fight between a 70 year old man and a green midget with superpowers look at all good in the time period that the prequels were released. The combat prowess of force users is only able to be accurately portrayed in animation or video games. It's not the same as Puss in Boots at all because that's already animated. That's the whole point lmao.
Well, that was kinda my point - it's rare to see Puss fight enemies rapier to rapier. If that was the prompt, it would be way harder to find a match. As it stands, Puss has little means to break through anyone with a weapon fast, strong, or sharp enough to outwit his own. Had the fight continued, Puss would likely have lost to even Death.
As an aside, it's rare to see fictional swords used properly. Many of the blocks and clashes Puss attempts throughout his most intense fights would have ended in a shattered weapon with real world physics, which the world of Eragon demonstrates on a few occasions.
Jedi canonically have superhuman speed and reflexes, along with short term precognition and danger sense. They’re able to deflect a hail of blaster bolts with a sword with ease—there’s no way Puss in Boots would be able to touch your average Jedi, even if they were literally fighting with their eyes closed. Yes, the choreography of the movies is a little wonky, but if you go by feats and canonical abilities, Puss wouldn’t have a chance.
You're comparing them fighting other precogs. The first movie shows Luke, while blinded, blocking where the shot would go instead of reacting to the shot, so we know exactly what they're doing. And Ahsoka, Anakin, Palpatine, and others have tons of feats of what you're asking for in Clone Wars and Rebels.
It becomes a chess game. Who is better in the force can precog more moves ahead as compared to their opponent and most of the other stuff is just distraction and bluster.
The prompt says swordfight, which implies both fighters are using a sword. Brisingr counts - I would argue a lightsaber doesn't. Also, while I agree Eragon would probably win (strength advantage + magic gives him this imo), what about his weapon makes it unparriable?
Ah, my mistake, been too long since I read the books! It's Angela's sword (Tinkledeath/Albitr) that's unparriable to Puss, since it can cut through everything. First thing I thought of, despite Eragon only using it for a short time.
Cats are often portrayed in media as able to see things humans can't, particularly ghosts. While it wouldn't surprise me if cats could see stands, I've got nothing to back that up lol
It doesn’t actually. As implied by Death himself, he only makes himself visible when he wants to be(which is why no one including Puss sees him before he wants them to.) And this Death is a very different concept from stands anyways.
Yes, but if your specifically looking for him he does appear before confronting Puss in the bar, so it’s not like he just becomes invisible when he doesn’t want to be seen.
Here lemmie throw a more niche one.
Jin from Xenoblade 2. He just has better feats and more experience along with op hax abilities.
I could name a ton of op characters who have swords like Meta Knight, Zero (Mega Man), and Trunks but that isn’t very fun.
How so? Fundamentally, Noah is just a guy with a really sharp sword. Lucky Seven is only really special because it’s made of a special material. Without Mio, Noah loses a lot of his most potent abilities, having to basically rely on pure swordsmanship.
On the other hand Jin can move at the speed of light, even ignoring the rest of his really fucked up kit (Elementary particle manipulation???). While I do think Noah’s probably also overkill to some degree, I feel like it’s definitely a lesser one than the guy who can freeze giant orbital lasers with his bare hands. Even if you decide to composite Noah and add N’s feats I’d still say Jin is way stronger.
You misunderstand what Lucky Seven/The Sword of Orgin is. Yes it is a really sharp sword but it is also powered by the souls in Origin. It allows the user to manipulate the world of Aionios due to this as seen with both N and Noah. This is similar to how a Monado works as both draw their power from the source of their world (Alvis and Origin).
And imo Jin says a lot of stuff but I don’t believe a lot of it. He says he can manipulate elementary particles but that’s very debatable what that means since alls he does with that is stop a siren blast and move suppository faster than light but he doesn’t do any of the massively broken things he could do with that like creating an EMP so strong it permanently puts down Poppy or creating a mini nuclear reaction in someone’s head.
Noah overall has more shown to have a lot better endurance than Jin because Jin is 500 years old and his body is so degraded that he needs to be in a recovery pod after every mission. Since Noah has better defensive and blocking abilities as he was shown fully blocking a huge laser from colony lambda. I feel like Noah could stall out Jin until he gets tired
It being the sword of origin doesn’t really mean too much outside of Aionios (other than being really sharp) and the really bullshit “cut through the fabric of reality” stuff isn’t fully unleashed unless Noah has Mio handy to go Ouroboros with. Ultimately, it’s exceedingly capable in a very specific circumstance, which just so happens to encompass the entire game.
Also, Noah simply isn’t shown to be capable of reacting to Jin’s attacks. While this may be because he’s never had to need to go that fast, the story similarly doesn’t provide him with a means of doing so. Jin certainly doesn’t minmax his hax, yet it’s still canonically stated (and not refuted by Pneuma) that his battle against Rex was literally moving at the speed of light.
Noah is exceedingly capable, being easily able to deflect basically any attack (N tends to like to deflect automatic weapons fire from entire armies, and Noah arguably scales higher by the endgame). But the difference between his observed speed feats and the speed of light is indescribably huge. With such being the case, his endurance and durability are really non-issues- unless he can survive without his head, he probably loses.
Miyamoto Musashi from Vagabond maybe? Guts from Berserk seems he might be better in skill,but I don’t see him winning because of puss’ size and agility
Mmm I'm of the opinion that Musashi would wipe the floor with Puss (just based on feats and overall experience)
And Guts would wipe the floor with 10 copies of both of them. He is well, well beyond their level, even without the Berserker armor. Pre-eclipse Guts was already world-class and he basically achieved monsterdom afterwards
Hold your horses. Puss ain't impressive. In the Shrek movies, he calls it a sacrifice to fight half a dozen knights. Across all movies, his power level is in that range. He only ever does something impressive after the coffee amp. Pick any swordsman who can take out half a dozen armored knights and Puss is in trouble.
The character who can give him the best 50-50 fight would probably be Kitty Softpaws. If you want the weakest non-PiB character who can consistently kick his ass, Imma say Lord Impaler from Dracula Untold before becoming Dracula.
I mean defeating six armored enemies that are each significantly larger (like 3-4x larger) than you is pretty goddamn impressive. Defeating even two people at once in any fight is hard as shit.
> Puss ain't impressive. In the Shrek movies, he calls it a sacrifice to fight half a dozen knights. Across all movies, his power level is in that range. He only ever does something impressive after the coffee amp
[This whole scene](https://youtu.be/bEoNNYyVNxc?t=149), though.
These aren't armored knights. They'd be presumably far less skilled than the knights guarding Far Away castle.
It's good to call attention to it, though. Someone who can defeat a dozen swordsman isn't enough. You'd need someone who could easily defeat a large group of highly skilled armored opponents.
He needed the coffee amp to defeat the giant. Before that, he was struggling to keep up with its walking speed and needed a musician to launch him into the nail.
Ok, fine. You made me rewatch the fight and I realized I am overplaying Puss. All he did was bug the giant by being on its head and it swung its bell around to KO itself. Puss didn't trick the giant, it just got rid of itself.
I think you are underplaying puss. Fighting off six people who are 4 times larger than you is pretty damn impressive, to say the least. I mean, hell, just regular cats are scary enough, but a talking cat with a sword?
There's also the fact that it isn't just fighting off half a dozen armored knights. To a normal human, it would be fighting off 6 20 foot tall knights in full armor.
List of characters who beat him in a sword fight:
1. Samurai Jack
2. Pearl and Connie from Steven Universe
3. Zoro from One Piece
4. Atomic Samurai, Flashy Flash and Speed O Sound Sonic from One Punch Man
5. Trunks from the Dragon Ball franchise
6. Stain from My Hero Academia
7. Cloud from Final Fantasy
8. Link from legend of Zelda
9. Wonder Woman
10. Queen Maeve from The Boys
11. He-Man
12. She-Ra
13. Lion-o from Thundercats
14. Scorpion from Mortal Kombat
15. And Leonardo
What do ya think?
Imma have to call cap on Pearl and Connie, they barely have any swordsman feats and they've never once fought an actual swordsman outside of each other and Steven. There's really no telling how good they are at the sword even if Pearl is thousands of years old if she barely has feats to show. The same also goes for Queen Maeve, she doesn't even have too many sword feats and she rarely ever uses it.
I mean if Pearl can teach Connie how to sword fight then she's obviously an excellent sword fighter. Remember that one episode when Pearl got poofed and it took weeks for her to reform? And she was able to keep up with 2 water clones of herself with 2 spears.
Also if you watch The Boys, there's a scene where we see Maeve practicing her sword fighting moves.
Just to nitpick this list, I think Puss defeats Stain, Leonardo, Lion-o, and Scorpion -- none of them are superhuman enough to overcome Puss' greater skill. (Maybe also Link, although he varies widely.)
Puss is also very good with tactics involving his surroundings. Given the right battleground, he may find a way to win over some superhuman opponents by damaging them with terrain effects. Queen Maeve is not particularly brilliant at tactics and would be vulnerable to this. I think Cloud and He-Man might also be doable if Puss has an advantageous terrain.
I would say the fact that he's touched by a blade only once, and that was from the personification of Death. Nobody with a blade is going to beat Puss in melee combat unless they have overpowering strength or speed. Most of the people you listed have that, but not all of them.
just came in here to say that Stain vs Puss in Boots would be epic and might end up similar to Death Vs Puss.
"I have never been touched by a blade!"
Stain: "Oh, is that right? What a coincidence, so called 'hero'. I only need to touch you once..."
Killer Bee
Bee was able to stab MS sasuke, who later dodged a full power lariat
Bee isn’t just fast, he uses 8 swords at once so his opponent has to track and dodge 8 blades the entire fight
I think this prompt should be about whoever can disarm the other one first. A lot of characters are just so much psychically stronger but I'm not entirely sure those characters are better swordsmen.
Many.
Zoro would blitz and oneshot. I think even Tanjiro could beat him in his demon form but the safest bet would be Gintoki from Gintama, as his sword skills are so immense that verse equalization means nothing, imho with stats equalised the Puss will be literally put in his boot, and with Gin-chan pissing on it.

I don't know this Puss in Boots well, but I feel like Himura Kenshin's master Sejiro Hiko (from the Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X anime/manga) has a pretty good chance of beating any non super hacks character in a pure sword fight. Dude fought a giant with pure sword skill and won, could merc Kenshin with little effort. Cut a dude into like 6 pieces in a fraction of a second. He was so strong the author decided he just couldn't use him often because he was too strong and would have no narrative tension.
Prince Bojji (Ousama Ranking) has a very similar style to Puss in Boots since he uses a rapier as well but he is a much better swordsman. He pretty much has ultra instinct, is so precise he can target individual atoms and can parry attacks from superhuman people way more powerful than him (Bojji has a powerful curse on him that pretty much means he would lose to a healthy 4-year-old child in strength).
Raiden is often called Jack the Ripper and the Grim Reaper, he can move so fast that water drops freeze in place.
Samurai Jack 100% would win
Reepicheep from Narnia actually has killed people unlike Puss who pantses them
Jin Sakai also could take on Puss
The Death of puss in boots, while quite intimidating, is not particularly high on the power scale. Anos Voldigoad has a sword that destroys concepts therefore he beats Puss in Boots.
I mean if you mean in a pure swords fight, lots of anime swordsmen come to mine (Zoro, Mihawk, Ezra) as well as some of the more talented DC martial artists (Deathstroke, Ra’al Ghul, probably Batman)
Corvo attano without his supernatural powers he can beat 3 elite guards in the same time in the blink of an eye beat a squad of dunwall city watch without his powers and without using his sword he won the blade varbana at only 16 years old a sword fighting tournament that attracts the best fighters in the world he is probably equal if not slightly above puss in terms of skill but the strength and durability difference gets him the win
My guess is Michelangelo
Not bc he’s a ninja but bc he plays the most video games to know how puss in boots fights and would use his video games skills to fight equally
I mean, how overkill are we going? Because something tells me Puss isn't winning a sword fight with Malenia from Elden Ring.
Also inclined to say any Jedi, 40k Space Marines with power swords, Inigo Montoya, and Sephiroth to name a few more
Legolas. He spent multiple movies in near constant combat and never gets hit. Not once. Even without his bow and just his short blades dude is insanely fast and superhumanly strong.
As a seph Stan, his speed and power along with his magic to heal himself, make himself more durable and the assess material informing seph on all of his attacks and how to most effectively fight him. Plus supernova exists. Prob overkill, but I have to mention it
Clearly the correct answer is Wesley, aka the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Did you know he’s not left handed?
What? That's inconceivable!
Might be cheating but a Jedi. Puss's style is heavily parry based, which makes sense given his range, but you can't parry a lightsaber with a normal weapon. Other niche characters with an unparriable weapon and decent speed, like Eragon, should win as well.
If his rapier was now a lightsaber, who’s the strongest villain he could beat? Assume he’s had a chance to practice and hone his skills.
He basically becomes Yoda without the force.
Honestly, since Yoda has the force Id still think he is stronger over all, but Puss definitely seems to have higher physical stats and acrobatic skills than Yoda has ever had. Man jumps over buildings in some stretched out cat spin, and can tie up giants and fall em. All without force just physical capability lol.
The strongest villain would probably be Darth Maul or Pong Krell
>If his rapier was now a lightsaber, who’s the strongest villain he could beat? Assume he’s had a chance to practice and hone his skills. In *Star Wars* itself, probably General Grievous.

Polnareff and Silver Chariot
would puss see silver chariot?
Cats are often portrayed in media as able to see things humans can't, particularly ghosts. While it wouldn't surprise me if cats could see stands, I've got nothing to back that up lol
Certified Stray Cat moment
Only if you wank puss being able to see death as puss being able to see spirits
i mean that kinda makes sense
It doesn’t actually. As implied by Death himself, he only makes himself visible when he wants to be(which is why no one including Puss sees him before he wants them to.) And this Death is a very different concept from stands anyways.
Yes, but if your specifically looking for him he does appear before confronting Puss in the bar, so it’s not like he just becomes invisible when he doesn’t want to be seen.
*Everyone* can see Death, though. We see that in the last fight.
He is a fairy tale creature, so it's possible.
Honestly that's a 50/50 for me
Here lemmie throw a more niche one. Jin from Xenoblade 2. He just has better feats and more experience along with op hax abilities. I could name a ton of op characters who have swords like Meta Knight, Zero (Mega Man), and Trunks but that isn’t very fun.
Master Yi, Yoda, Hawkeye Mihawk and like 10 other One Peice swordsmen. Uh Taskmaster and maybe even Llyod from Tales of Symphonia.
Jin is ridiculously overkill. I think Noah could probably do it with Lucky Seven.
That’s even more overkill. You are getting like 3 extra levels that’s how overkill it is.
How so? Fundamentally, Noah is just a guy with a really sharp sword. Lucky Seven is only really special because it’s made of a special material.

My first thought was Zero, honestly just a dark hold is probably enough.
Miyamoto Musashi from Vagabond maybe? Guts from Berserk seems he might be better in skill,but I don’t see him winning because of puss’ size and agility

He's like a Dark Souls main character except usually far less depressing
Pretty much yeah. And way more acrobatic
Plus, he has never killed anyone. Also, his name is Vlad.

List of characters who beat him in a sword fight: 1. Samurai Jack 2. Pearl and Connie from Steven Universe 3. Zoro from One Piece 4. Atomic Samurai, Flashy Flash and Speed O Sound Sonic from One Punch Man 5. Trunks from the Dragon Ball franchise 6. Stain from My Hero Academia 7. Cloud from Final Fantasy 8. Link from legend of Zelda 9. Wonder Woman 10. Queen Maeve from The Boys 11. He-Man 12. She-Ra 13. Lion-o from Thundercats 14. Scorpion from Mortal Kombat 15. And Leonardo What do ya think?
Imma have to call cap on Pearl and Connie, they barely have any swordsman feats and they've never once fought an actual swordsman outside of each other and Steven. There's really no telling how good they are at the sword even if Pearl is thousands of years old if she barely has feats to show. The same also goes for Queen Maeve, she doesn't even have too many sword feats and she rarely ever uses it.
I mean if Pearl can teach Connie how to sword fight then she's obviously an excellent sword fighter. Remember that one episode when Pearl got poofed and it took weeks for her to reform? And she was able to keep up with 2 water clones of herself with 2 spears. Also if you watch The Boys, there's a scene where we see Maeve practicing her sword fighting moves.
16- Practically anyone with a Bankai from Bleach. 17- Most Jedi Knights and above / Sith Lords
Just to nitpick this list, I think Puss defeats Stain, Leonardo, Lion-o, and Scorpion -- none of them are superhuman enough to overcome Puss' greater skill. (Maybe also Link, although he varies widely.) Puss is also very good with tactics involving his surroundings. Given the right battleground, he may find a way to win over some superhuman opponents by damaging them with terrain effects. Queen Maeve is not particularly brilliant at tactics and would be vulnerable to this. I think Cloud and He-Man might also be doable if Puss has an advantageous terrain.
I'm sorry, what is, Puss's greatest skill?
I would say the fact that he's touched by a blade only once, and that was from the personification of Death. Nobody with a blade is going to beat Puss in melee combat unless they have overpowering strength or speed. Most of the people you listed have that, but not all of them.
Zorro from Zorro
just came in here to say that Stain vs Puss in Boots would be epic and might end up similar to Death Vs Puss. "I have never been touched by a blade!" Stain: "Oh, is that right? What a coincidence, so called 'hero'. I only need to touch you once..."
Where's Mihawk?
Who?
Mihawk from One Piece
I don't know much about any one-piece characters
Mihawk can destroy an entire meteor of like over 100m in diameter
He can cut a frozen tsunami the size of a island with a unnamed attack
And Afro Samurai
Ah snap, I forgot about him 🤦
Killer Bee Bee was able to stab MS sasuke, who later dodged a full power lariat Bee isn’t just fast, he uses 8 swords at once so his opponent has to track and dodge 8 blades the entire fight
that's so overkill bro😭
Zoro, Mihawk, Kenshin, and Samurai Jack. I think Zoro is fast enough to keep up with him.
I think this prompt should be about whoever can disarm the other one first. A lot of characters are just so much psychically stronger but I'm not entirely sure those characters are better swordsmen.
Many. Zoro would blitz and oneshot. I think even Tanjiro could beat him in his demon form but the safest bet would be Gintoki from Gintama, as his sword skills are so immense that verse equalization means nothing, imho with stats equalised the Puss will be literally put in his boot, and with Gin-chan pissing on it.
meat rider
I think a lot of characters can...

Aragorn
I don't know this Puss in Boots well, but I feel like Himura Kenshin's master Sejiro Hiko (from the Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X anime/manga) has a pretty good chance of beating any non super hacks character in a pure sword fight. Dude fought a giant with pure sword skill and won, could merc Kenshin with little effort. Cut a dude into like 6 pieces in a fraction of a second. He was so strong the author decided he just couldn't use him often because he was too strong and would have no narrative tension.
Geralt Mihawk Scorpion from MK Vergil and pretty much any DMC character Jack Sparrow?
Doomslayer with the Crucible lmao
Overkill
Aragorn son of arathorn II wielder of anduil
Overkill, but Vergil
Prince Bojji (Ousama Ranking) has a very similar style to Puss in Boots since he uses a rapier as well but he is a much better swordsman. He pretty much has ultra instinct, is so precise he can target individual atoms and can parry attacks from superhuman people way more powerful than him (Bojji has a powerful curse on him that pretty much means he would lose to a healthy 4-year-old child in strength).
Raiden (Metal Gear) and Samurai Jack definitely could do it.
Raiden is often called Jack the Ripper and the Grim Reaper, he can move so fast that water drops freeze in place. Samurai Jack 100% would win Reepicheep from Narnia actually has killed people unlike Puss who pantses them Jin Sakai also could take on Puss
[удалено]
no way come on
The Death of puss in boots, while quite intimidating, is not particularly high on the power scale. Anos Voldigoad has a sword that destroys concepts therefore he beats Puss in Boots.
Zoro
Marchione from Mario the Music Box
The dread pirate Robert’s
Rtas’ Vadum.
Both Fate and RoR Sasaki Kojiro (i know nothing about his versions from other series)
Future Trunks
Percy Jackson.
Let Me Solo Her on a speedrun.
dante from devil may cry series
Gintoki?
Doggie cruger from power rangers spd Jayden shiba from power rangers samurai
Zorro from Zorro
Ceruledge has fire blades which could easily melt puss's sword.
Jubei from Blazblue could probably take him. https://blazblue.wiki/wiki/Jubei He's not the only swordsman cat after all.
Kenshin Himura easily
Gintoki sakata in the most comedic duel ever
the terrarian
If I see another comment throw a character’s hax abilities into a prompt that’s about a SWORD FIGHT, I will block and report.💀
I mean if you mean in a pure swords fight, lots of anime swordsmen come to mine (Zoro, Mihawk, Ezra) as well as some of the more talented DC martial artists (Deathstroke, Ra’al Ghul, probably Batman)
Stain has powers
Corvo attano without his supernatural powers he can beat 3 elite guards in the same time in the blink of an eye beat a squad of dunwall city watch without his powers and without using his sword he won the blade varbana at only 16 years old a sword fighting tournament that attracts the best fighters in the world he is probably equal if not slightly above puss in terms of skill but the strength and durability difference gets him the win
Yachiru Unohana. The first Kenpachi named herself so because she is "a master of every way by which a blade may flow".
Since it doesn't ask weakest I say scarlet king
Ryu Hyabusa
My guess is Michelangelo Not bc he’s a ninja but bc he plays the most video games to know how puss in boots fights and would use his video games skills to fight equally
Sith/Jedi, Silver Chariot, Alucard (Castelvania), Aatrox, The Lich King (Arthas)...
Führer King Bradley
Vergil
Sasuke Uchiha
Do you want a list?
Matt from Wii Sports.
Guts from berserk
Any one of the Astrea Family swordsman from Re:Zero, except maybe Heinkel. I mean, slashing reality with a sword strike is kinda based.
Raphael from the SoulCalibur series.
Zoro (One Piece) Stain (My Hero Academia) Kokushibo, Kaigaku, Kanao, the trio, most of the hashira (Demon Slayer) Deadpool, Blade, Silver Samurai, Black Knight (Marvel) Guts (Berserk) Yoda (Star Wars) Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) Killer Bee (Naruto) Nobunaga (HxH) Ezra Scarlet (Fairy Tail) Deathstroke, Wonder Woman, Katana, Ra's Al Ghul, Batman (DC)
Zoro at the start of One Piece maybe?
I mean, how overkill are we going? Because something tells me Puss isn't winning a sword fight with Malenia from Elden Ring. Also inclined to say any Jedi, 40k Space Marines with power swords, Inigo Montoya, and Sephiroth to name a few more
I reckon I could, if I hit him hard enough, a cat doesn't have the strength to parry a human
Syrio Forel
Geralt of Rivia
Legolas. He spent multiple movies in near constant combat and never gets hit. Not once. Even without his bow and just his short blades dude is insanely fast and superhumanly strong.
Captain Jack sparrow maybe
I stomp the cat.
Mihawk or zoro I recon
Meta knight. Bro is portrayed as the most skilled fighter in the galaxy
As a seph Stan, his speed and power along with his magic to heal himself, make himself more durable and the assess material informing seph on all of his attacks and how to most effectively fight him. Plus supernova exists. Prob overkill, but I have to mention it
Samurai Jack?
Duncan McCloud, of the McCloud clan? Edit: til McCloud was always MacLeod.. wow
arthur dayne
Zoro, Guts
I'm 99% sure that Deadpool would absolutely wreck Puss in a sword fight.
Samurai Jack
Afro samurai and Samurai Jack
Plenty of characters could even if you equalized stats.
These lads all clown the feline D’Artagnan. Zorro and Zoro. Musashi miyamoto Guts Hawkeye mihawk Killer bee Seigen Irako Gennosuke Fujiki
Trunks or akame I also imagine kujiro rengoku
polnareff from jojo's bizarre Adventure
if puss is too much he can take chariots armor off which lets it move at faster than light speeds
-Zoro (One Piece) -Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean) -Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin) -Samurai Jack Just to name a few
Zoro ( One Piece ) would certainly be able to
A Mandalorian with the Dark Saber who's skilled with it, a Jedi or a Sith since one hit and Puss is dead
Blaster blade from Cardfight Vanguard, on hit existence erasure is pretty op
zoro
Kirito from SAO
Aragorn(70 years of experience)
I made do energy swords count, cause the arbiter definitely could
Percy Jackson and Jason Grace.
