Base Class: Fighter
There isn't enough time in your life to hear the backstory of this individual. The anime swordsman's past is shrouded in mystery, and you can bet this fighter's parents were gruesomely murdered in his or her formative years.
Gloating Monologue
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, as a Bonus action on your turn you can loudly and deliberately make a long-winded monologue aimed at a creature explaining exactly how you've just gained the upper hand and have been holding back in some ridiculous and obscure way. Make a Charisma (Intimidation) or (Performance) check contested by the target's passive Wisdom (Insight). If you succeed, you have advantage on the next melee attack you make against the target creature on this turn.
Haunted Yet Convenient Past
At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Intimidation or Performance.
The Power of Friendship
Starting at 7th level, when a creature drops one of your allies to 0 hit points in sight, you go into a blind rage and attempt to REVENGE them. You have advantage on all melee attack rolls against the creature that downed your ally, and disadvantage on all attack rolls against any other target. This effect ends if the target dies or your ally regains at least 1 hit point.
Plot Armor
Starting at 10th level, when rolling for death saving throws you only suffer one failure when rolling a 1, and you regain 1 hit point on a roll of 19 or 20.
Untapped Potential
Starting at 15th level, you have a climbing speed equal to your current walking speed. This benefit works even when moving up or across completely flat, smooth surfaces, but only in short bursts; you fall if you end your turn on or against a surface and nothing else is holding you aloft. Additionally, the Extra Attack feature from the Fighter class now applies when you take the Ready action to make an attack.
Ridiculously Impractical Ultimate Attack
Starting at 18th level, as an Action you can make a single melee attack against a creature with extra anime power. A massive explosion forms from the power of your convictions and monologues and each creature in a 40-foot-radius from your target excluding yourself must make a Dexterity saving throw. The ability save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (Your choice). The sphere spreads around corners. A creature takes 20d6 fire damage and 20d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If your attack hits, the target takes the damage as normal and makes its save against the explosion at disadvantage.
Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use it again.

This is really unfortunate, things with the builder have changed a lot since I first created it. The real issue is that I'll lose all up/down votes if I make a new version now. :|
Edit: I realized we're commenting on the old version, be sure you're on the newest one and still seeing the issue. The Anime Swordsman Class for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e) - D&D Beyond (dndbeyond.com) currently
Same for power of friendship, plot armor etc.
Even as a totally ridiculous joke subclass, it honestly seems pretty solid, lmao.
Also shoutout to CritCrab.
Me too!
(In a very rules lawyery voice)
"Actually Paladins don't necessarily have any connection to any one god they just have divine oaths so that would actually make for a better cleric."
I must admit that you would need to fundamentally change the cleric spell list for this to even remotely make sense and make them have less than 9 in wisdom
I’ve got some total seen friends that I need to send this too.
I also came here from CritCrab

Im a weeb and I still can have a hearty laugh at this (although you did miss the ability that makes it so the pc cant willingly enter romance but must make persuasion rolls to any woman they interact with to get them to fall for them).
Love critcrab
Glad to have you all, hope you enjoy!
I as well came here from CritCrab.
I came from critcrab and this is awesome and so just insane
i too come a critical crab
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I came here from critcrab and I have to say, I love it
too bad this isn't a Paladin subclass so it can have the power of God and Anime on its side
