Boundaries of the Sword:

1. Sword User – Someone who just uses a sword as a tool for killing.

2. Sword Student - Someone who has become one with the sword, i.e. someone who's able to wield their sword as if it were an extension of their arms. At this stage you could use a wooden sword to cut through iron or cut a falling leaf with a swing of the sword.

3. Swordsman – Someone who has comprehended sword Qi (a sharp energy that shares the same properties as that of a sword and can be used to attack at range).

4. Sword Master – Someone who has truly mastered the intricate details of sword qi, allowing them complete control of their Sword Qi, meaning they can change the shape, direction or even the power even after the sword qi has been fired off.

5. Sword Grandmaster – Someone who is able to use their sword to cut through anything they wish including the natural elements. They could even cut a logia user without using haki.

6. Sword Lord – Someone who has comprehended their own sword domain/sword territory. In their domain they can use sword qi to attack their intended target with a mere thought, not even needing to draw their sword.

7. Sword Saint – Someone who's comprehended sword force. Sword force and Sword Qi can be used for the same things but the difference between them is a like the difference between night and day. If sword Qi can be used to cut through elements such as fire or light, then sword force can be used to distort space and time. Although sword force can't actually tear the restraints imposed by the laws of space and time, it's power is not to be questioned."
