Okay, I'm currently reading this manga and I'm not even close to finish it, but I strongly believe Kenshin Himura deserves a spot here. I think being one of the Top 15 with the current feats is enough at the moment.
He's a samurai who fought during the war that opened the Meiji era. He started fighting at the war at the age of 14, and during 5 years he climbed at the top to be considered the strongest patriot in the war. Even 10 years later, his skill and experience is feared amongst those who know about him.
His swordsplay is so good that he can defeat several enemies with no effort, making people believe he's using some kind of sorcery.
But it's all done through his sheer speed and skill, which he uses to predict the opponent's movements just by looking at it.
He can beat a squad of trained swordsmen all by himself. In fact, ganging against Kenshin is useless. He is a dangerous man that not even a whole group of bandits can even hope to scratch, as seen when he raided over their hideout by defeating all the guards without the big shots noticing until he interrupted the meeting.
His main skill is the ability to predict the enemy's movements by watching at their stance and eyes position. He can predict the path of slashes, bullets and even cannonballs by doing this.
Kenshin is also moderately haxed. He can resist the influence of the Shin no Ippo used by Kurogasa, and when he enters in his Battosai state, he can even induce fear to Kurogasa. Worth noting that Kurogasa is also a highly skilled assassin able to kill 34 men and injure another 56 in a single fight.
Ken's sword is a Sakabato, a reversed katana with the blunt edge and the sharp side on opposite sides. Kenshin uses this to not kill anyone, so the majority of his fights are won against sword users while he doesn't cut them at all. His strength alone added to the blunt edge of the Sakabato is enough to win his battles.
However, his sword is unsuited for his style, the Battojutsu. But Kenshin knows of its weaknesses and even then has a counter measure for those who notice such flaw.
In many cases, Ken is attacked by several people or characters with different abilities. But he's mostly unscathed after most fights, being the big shots the only people able to even touch him.
