Forgot about the black hole magic bullets in Outlaw Star. Its hilarious to think how the villains see the shot coming at them in slow motion, basically lol at Gene and then are literally sucked into a black hole.

Is the lightsaber the best fictional weapon?

The Glaive is actually the worst fictional weapon ever. It is hyped up to extremes, so much so that he is warned that he shouldn't even use it unless necessary, and then when he finally does whip it out he uses it to kill like two guys and then to cut open a door. He then confronts the main bad guy, throws it, and it gets stuck.
He then summons magical love-fire from his hand and that defeats the villain.
The Glaive is bullshit.

Honestly, if I had the arm strength... The dragonslayer sword from berserk would be my other fictional weapon pick. Lightsabers be damned.
How would this sword fare against the lighsaber?

It's definitely the lightsaber. Though I love the Zorg. Particularly the tracer/tracker rounds.
I'd add the Lancer from GoW.
It's the best fictional weapon in the sense that FF7 is the best game ever made. That is, not at all.
It's just a slab of metal with mystical properties that allows it to damage spirits and otherwordly beings. A lightsaber would cut right through it like it does nearly everything else.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
But you could cut through bank vaults with it.

No. The bolter is the best.

Oh man, I forgot about that gun, that gun was the shit.
Magic bullets that can shoot everything from small scale explosions to black holes? There isn't a cooler gun around. It was basically an excuse to have magic in space but goddammit, I wanted that gun so bad as a kid. Screw lightsabers!

Gunda probably ripped off Star Wars. But it's okay, because beam weaponry in gundam is its own thing

I wonder what you could do with a lightsabre if someone just decided to shoot you with a regular gun. Could the beam melt the bullet quickly enough that it wouldn't just blast straight through and kill you? I feel like you'd just get hit in the face with a white hot bullet instead of a regular temperature one.

It's not better than the lightsaber, but Freddy's glove is pretty sweet.

afaik only vibroblades can parry a lightsaber but im not sure how canon those are

yeah and the rational for beam weaponry in the series in my opinion makes much more sense.

If we're just going for mechs, we might as well just go for broke with the Ideon:
ahem
It's cool, so long as the plug doesn't disconnect 😏
A lot of the extended canon about lightsabers and how they bond with the people using them hardly ever comes up and it's really disappointing. I love empathic weapons though.
Just feed her.

I'm watching Thundercats 2011 at the moment and the Sword of Omens is really sweet. Not sure it's better than a lightsabre, but Lion-O has a really cool arsenal.
But then it starts growing fleshy arms and growling and crawling all over the floor and making a mess of things.

This.

This was the most terrifying shit in the theaters.
Pardon to interdict, but when talking badassery this guy, GUILLEM H. PONGILUPPIPRO, made this and it's crazy. Getting the same vibe from image you posted, Eden.

Assuming best means coolest then yes. If best means the most powerful/useful then obviously not.

A proton pack isn't a weapon though, it's a tool used to hold ghosts until they can be trapped. Winston even calls their proton packs a tool in Ghostbusters.
I mean yeah you could technically use a proton pack as a weapon but that's true of a lot of tools.

Mjolnir is probably the one I'd choose if I could. So long as I am worthy of course
