Need help finding anime

I saw scenes from this anime I’ve been thinking about and I can’t seem to find it. All I can remember from it was that the character was man that wields a sword. He had dark circles around his eyes and acted depressed the whole time, and in the scene I remember seeing, he was in a tournament dueling against a woman. I remember that he was underestimated by everyone bc when he kept dodging blows or even fought back everyone thought he was cheating. I’m not sure if he’s a main character or not.

I know this is a vague description but it’s all I can remember, so if someone can help me find it that’d be great.

I think you're referring to the anime "Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!". If I remember correctly, in the second season he infiltrated a tournament using that listless swordsman disguise.

Yeah that’s it, so he must be a side character or something bc I’ve been watching the eminence in shadow and haven’t seen him yet

don’t look to much into it, otherwise you’ll be spoiling yourself.
