Compare SwordAndSorcery, HighFantasy, HeroicFantasy, and {{Swashbuckler}}. The Japanese equivalent is JidaiGeki, particularly the ''chanbara'' subgenre -- interestingly, the term ''wuxia'' was originally a calque of the Japanese ''bukyo''. In Japan, however, the term ''bukyo'' has since faded into obscurity. The closest American equivalent is TheWestern, especially regarding its hazy boundary with WeirdWest. For the 2011 movie titled ''Wu Xia'', see ''Film/{{Swordsmen}}''.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Manhwa/{{Veritas}}'' uses many wuxia tropes but the story itself is more on the cynical side and the main hero is a BloodKnight rather than a traditional noble wuxia hero.
