This guy in the video. How would you go about it?
Hate to say it but I'm not sure I would. Some things just don't translate over to Pathfinder all that well. No level of stats is going to allow a character to do what happened there but some class features might. I would say looks like evasion and either abundant step or shadow jump to me. So either a monk or shadowdancer.
Weapon looks possibly like a vorpal blade. Character could have a huge amount of strength with how easily he cuts through people but with how he moves maybe he's Dex focused with the agile enhancement tossed on his weapon as well.
To keep things simple since he's not wearing armor I'm going to call him a level 20 monk with stats I'm making up on the spot.
Str 10
Dex 30
Con 12
Int 10
Wis 20
Cha 14
Could be reading the clip wrong but I'm feeling the show wants to portray him as charismatic.
When I said stats, I meant how you would go about making a statblock (which you did, anyway) not just ability scores, sorry.
Anyway I appreciate the comment, thanks. I've always enjoyed building people up from anime, movies etc..
Anyone else?
Okay, sorry I misunderstood that part. Also is this just out of curiosity or are you thinking about actually building and playing a character inspired by this video? Because if you're thinking of playing the character I would probably lean more towards a strength focused build as opposed to dex simply because it's easier to deliver damage at lower levels with strength and you won't end up waiting ten levels before your character finally has the gear to make the idea work.
Dimensional agility line is a must, shadow dancer + monk probably or maybe some magus. Thats all I've got for now.

I'd say Slayer + Assassinate + a 3 level dip into Horizon Walker for Terrain Dominance (Astral Plane) instead of Shadow Dancer Monk. It would net you the Dimension Door uses you need, plus Ranger Combat Style feats, a death attack, and access to the Rogue Talent Terrain Mastery if you want to go that route. Being able to flank with yourself is also a much more useful to a character that has sneak attack... get Outflank too.

I enjoy pinpointing the CRs of characters in anime, movies, shows and such. I like to know where they stand compared to everything else the game has.
After thinking about it, going Monk 2/Ninja 7 works very well. After adding the vampire template (which he is in the anime, the physical benefits at least}, the touch AC and evasion from Monk with swift action invisibility and sneak attack from the Ninja combined with great cleave works exactly like what is shown here. Any thoughts?
