    It was basically just the idea of an argonian, wielding a two handed weapon, regenerating health really fast. That is the basis of the Histmaster build. They are still different though which is why I put in the option.

    I haven't played through dragonborn yet so id never seen it, but yeah your right it does look quite fitting. I'l add it in.

    the enchanting loop was mainly to make the armor as absurdly powerful as possible. Also without enchanting it takes a long time before the build is reaching what it is supposed to be.

    I said that poisons are cheating as they debilitate your enemies instead of having a straight up fight, but I see where your coming from. Its more of a role-play thing.

    Also, alteration and alchemy are optional skills so theres no requirement to take them. 

    I thought about using block, but the main point is that you take a lot of damage but just keep regenerating.

    It does indeed look pretty good. ALso as Hunter burks said below, the new nordic carved armor looks really good with this character. 

    I used a daedric greatsword for the look and power, but a nordic greatsword also looks pretty cool.

    I love Beserk, my favourite manga +1

    Illusion fear spells or Nord's battle-cry would suit it too.

    First you said that this build was called the "Black Swordman" then you said that it was based on an anime/manga. I couldn't help but to think you was talking about Sword Art Online =P

    Anyway, liked the special moves, really creative stuff you made've there.

    They would suit it but i prefer to hack my enemies to bits while they attack me. When their running away it makes it more difficult to kill them.

    A cloak would be awesome on this build. Too bad itl probably never happen.

    Could probably work. But if, like myself, you don't have any DLC whatsoever, you can go with Wolf Armor and a Daedric Greatsword or a combination of armors and such. Could be cool.
