** Killer Bee. He wields seven (later eight) swords at once, and is able to out-fence Sharingan-powered Sasuke, who's normally able to predict the incoming attacks, simply because there are [[ConfusionFu so many blades moving too randomly]] for even ''him'' to follow.

* ''Film/{{Yellowbeard}}'': Despite being blind, Pew is able to extinguish a candle flame with one precise strike of his SwordCane.

* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', several stands are capable of doing this. Silver Chariot is capable of [[CuttingThroughEnergy skewering flames on its blade]], cutting [[AbsurdCuttingPower through solid rock]], and [[ParryingBullets slicing bullets in half]], along with [[BladeSpam moving so fast it appears there are eight copies of it at once]]. At one point it even makes a ''functioning clock'' out of a table and his opponent's flames. A later Stand, Anubis, is [[EvilWeapon nothing but a sword, which possesses its users]]. Naturally, [[spoiler: it ends up possessing Polnareff, Chariot's user, for some DualWielding action]].

* BladeRun: Dodging an enemy blow by leaping up and balancing on the blade of their sword. [[BellisariosMaxim Somehow]].

* Karl Ruprecht Kroenen in ''Film/{{Hellboy}}'' is so skilled with his tonfa blades that he can cut through feet of solid material such as rock and steel and can kill gunmen by deflecting their fired bullets back at them.

* Doggie "Boss" Kruger in ''[[SuperSentai Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger]]'' can perform all these tricks with ease. In a minor subversion, though, it's learned in a CrossOver [[TheMovie movie]] that an injury to his spine forces him to miss 1 out of every 200 attacks, until fixed by one of the crossover characters.

* The ''Franchise/MetalGear'' franchise displays this frequently. Generally justified by the users being {{Cyborg}}s and wielding [[{{Vibroweapon}} high-frequency blades]]. But it's ''Metal Gear'', so the real justification is [[RuleOfCool because it's awesome]].

* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Auntie Maya [[NamesToRunAwayFrom 'Murder the Gods and Topple Their Thrones']], of ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'', is a master of the Art of Cutting, so of course she can do things like ParryingBullets and [[spoiler: cutting an angel in half, along with [[SwordBeam the room behind it]]]]. This appears to be a CharlesAtlasSuperpower developed from her training under Meti.

* Shigure Kosaka from ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple''. '''Everything''' she uses (including an ordinary ''spoon'') becomes an AbsurdlySharpBlade, and with said object she can cause massive ClothingDamage on multiple opponents without them noticing.

* The manga ''Manga/{{Vagabond}}'' has MiyamotoMusashi's implausible fencing powers as his ability to judge distance and range ("seeing one's sword"), his [[MadeOfIron incredible constitution]], and his unheard-of strength. When he takes on the four senior disciples of the Yagyuu, one of them actually believes DualWielding to be AwesomeButImpractical... up until Musashi breaks another disciple's sword (held in both hands) with a one-handed slash. Musashi later manages to split [[spoiler:Yoshioka Seijuurou]] in two (from the left shoulder to the right hip), sever [[spoiler:Yoshioka Denshichirou]]'s left hand, and knock back opponents with one-handed strokes.
