A title given only to the biggest edgelords of all time. The first to hold such a title was Guts, or Gattsu in Japanese, who was the main character in the legendary manga of Berserk. Guts' features, persona, and clothing serve as a basis for what a Black Swordsman and an edgelord is: wearing all black, being a face value asshole and nihilist, scars and lost limbs, and holding a giant sword. A Black Swordsman doesn't necessarily have be from Anime or manga, however that's where most of the Black Swordsmen lie. A notable Black Swordsman would also be Kirito from SAO, proving that not all edgelords are certainly a good thing.
SAO fan twats: Kirito is the real Black Swordsman
Anyone with more than two brain cells: ... I take it you've never read Berserk then you 12 year old?
