## Personality

Nightmare The Best Swordsman is an arrogant and insolently proud counterpart of The Best Swordsman. He acts superior around his enemies due to his innate Nightmare and often tries to arrogantly tease them as they fight. He is focused on making himself stronger as he immediately asked for No Name's speech if she'll give them identities so that they become strong enough to kill their originals.

Ironically, he is stated to be exactly the same as his original by other Nightmares.
