Powers & Abilities Taming Enma is not hard nor impressive

#61
"Taming/using Enma is a Yonko lvl feat"
"Taming/using Enma means Zoro has Oden lvl haki"
"Only Zoro is capable of taming/using Enma out of any swordsman/person there"
...

All of these statements just because Zoro is using Enma.

Let's start with the panel that started it all:

"Before or after", somehow people took these words and thought that a bunch of swordsmen tried taming Enma and died or something.
Or they think that means every swordsman that lives/lived in Wano wasn't capable of handling Enma.
I'm gonna proof that the only person that ever tried Enma was Oden and Oden alone.
Before Oden
In SBS, Oda answered question about Shimotsuki Kouzaburou (the creator of Enma):
Oda says Kouzaburou created Enma and gifted Enma to Oden

This alone proves that there was no one "before" Oden to try Enma
as Enma was forged as a gift for Oden as a present, who was somewhere between 1year old and 4years old
+Nowhere in the story does it say that anyone before Oden tried Enma or failed.
After Oden
So Oden gives his swords to his wife and says to give them to their children after his death

Then we find out Hitetsu was saving these 2 swords for 20 years in order to return them to Momo and Hiyori by Oden's last will

Just in this case the "you two" Hitetsu speaking to are Momo and Zoro, because Hiyori gifted her sword Enma to Zoro, so anyone besides them didn't have the right to touch the swords, yes that's including the Scabbards.
Then we see the only person after Oden's death that used Enma is- Zoro.
So out of 2 people who ever tried taming/using Enma
100% of them succeeded in taming Enma.
100% success rate is not impressive....

So to summarize:
No one besides Oden got to use Enma because it was forged to Oden as a present
No one besides Zoro got to use Enma after Oden's death
Oden tamed Enma as a child
So we already gotten through, how Oden got Enma when he was anywhere between 1 year old - 4 years old.
Then we had a flashback where we see a 10 year old Oden using Enma no problem:

This shows that Enma was tamed:
at worst scenario by 10 year old Oden
at best scenario by even younger Oden (1-9yrs old)
Early life Oden was not that strong
We had 20 year old Oden fight 17 year old Ashura Doji and some fodder all night.
And Oden looks pretty beat up and obviously he had a difficult fight.

I'm not gonna hype the fodder, because they are fodder, beginning of One Piece anyone can take out bunch of fodder with 1 move.
So let's start with Ashura Doji:
He was 17yrs old, this wasn't the Ashura Doji who was trained by Oden and Scabbards,
this isn't current Ashura Doji who is 56 yrs old.

This Ashura Doji is WEAK. He's weaker than chapter 2 Luffy who is also 17yrs old.
We know Luffy has probably the best strength growth out of anyone in the series
19 year old Luffy is currently WAY stronger than 56year old Ashura Doji.
So imagine how much stronger 17yr old Luffy is compared to 17 yr old Doji.

I'm gonna say this, Ashura Doji was as strong as kid versions of Ace, Sabo, Luffy.
Those kids were beating up grown men and giant monsters as kids, so it's a pretty fair comparison I think.

So think how weak 10 year old Oden who was using Enma was
if 20yr old Oden had this much problem with Ashura Doji and some fodder

To summarize
Oden was really weak when he tamed Enma
so using/taming Enma is not impressive
Zoro
Most people somehow skipped this, but it was said how Zoro gotten used to Enma so fast:

But these 2 translations are a bit different:
  • unofficial translation says Wado is the main reason Zoro can handle Enma
  • official translation says that Zoro is familiar to using Enma is because of Wado
I'm not Japanese, so I have no idea what it says in the original, but I wanna say that anime also said that the biggest reason Zoro gotten used to Enma is thanks to Wado.
So:
best case scenario- Zoro had an advantage with a sword he's been using for 11yrs- Wado
worst case scenario- Wado is more than 50% the reason that Zoro can tame Enma.

TL;DR
  • Oden was the first and only Enma user
  • Oden tamed Enma as a child (10 years old or even younger)
  • Oden was not strong when he tamed Enma
  • No one after Oden's death even touched Enma besides Zoro
  • Oden and Zoro are the only 2 people that ever tried Enma and both of the succeeded
  • Zoro had Wado, which helped either gave him an advantage in taming Enma or it is the reason Zoro was able to tame Enma
Enma is a powerful sword, but taming it is not impressive.
We know kids can tame Enma, taming Enma is not strength nor haki feat. You just need practice no matter how strong or weak you are.

The only way taming Enma would be impressive if a literal fodder tried using the sword and succeeded in taming it on first try.
This long post full of lies and assumption.

He said Oden could have received enma anytime between the age of 1 and 9. That proves you don't know and you're just making stuff up and assumptions.

The scene which shows Oden using enma at 9 doesn't show him using haki. Using enma does automatically mean the user has mastered enma. That's like performing a technique but it's sloppy. Technically you perform the technique but you are far from perfecting it.



You can't claim that the sword is easy to use then base it on stuff you made up and assumptions. It doesn't work that way.

Kinemon reacts this way to them beating a fodder
WAY more reaction than with Enma

does that mean Kinemon wouldn't be able to beat fodder?
He wouldn't one shot them either?

Is beating fodder more impressive than taming Enma?
I explained to you that he was surprised because how strong and quick they are and how easily they wiped them. Now whether hes more surpised is your interpretation and quiet honestly irrelevant how ever the reaction to Zoro wielding enma was more of a shock to anyone there like they were left speechless and therefor arguably much more impressive.
But yet again irrelevant to the point its like you are now looking for gateways to hold to your arguement after it was debunked twice because this is the second time you stray from the subject.
Post automatically merged:

Manga canon is that Enma was forged for Oden.
Oden died.
sword was kept for 20 years.
Enma was passed to Zoro.
At that time, only person to tame Enma was Oden, because only person to wield Enma was Oden.
Simple as that.
If what you are saying was true then the scabbards would have told Zoro that nobody has wielded the sword for 10 years and wouldnt have told him that out of kindness not to use it because of you are kind to someone you are doing so out of concern because something is dangerous. Instead they told him that nobody was able to tame it for 10 years. Which clearly mean people tried but failed.

....dude, you cannot be serious.

We know:
-Oden was born 59yrs ago
-Kouzaburou left Wano 55yrs ago

So him giving sword to Oden could have ONLY happened when Oden was between ages 1-4yrs old.

This is BASIC logic.
I'm scared for you if you can't grasp 1st grade logic....
The scene which shows Oden using enma at 9 doesn't show him using haki
Enma uses wielders haki automatically
When Zolo tried to cut a small tree with no haki,
Enma took Zolo's haki without Zolo wanting it and a cliff got cut off

If 10yr old Oden is using Enma without it draining it's haki, that means he mastered Enma
You can't claim that the sword is easy to use then base it on stuff you made up and assumptions
You need to go and read some books or something....

This Ashura Doji is WEAK. He's weaker than chapter 2 Luffy who is also 17yrs old.
This here makes no sense. As we know, 20 years old Oden had already defeated the mountain god and was able to use armament haki, hardening and imbuement on the blades, not only that he showed to be able to cut suge a huge fucking animal, that made ALL OTHER SAMURAI OF WANO ran away, Samurais that Akainu himself hypes up constantly. Ashura Doji, only 17, was able to take this Oden into Extreme Diff, and you want to tell me that Chapter 2 Luffy is stronger than that? Chapter 2 Luffy can't do shit against Haki, this level of power or speed, he has no Gear Second, he is shit.

Ashura Doji in 17 years and Oden with 20 years would no diff Luffy at episode 2, this is a really dumb comparisson.

So are you saying child oden had better haki control than zoro now ?
Could child oden cut kaido ?

using haki means you are strong?
Didn't PreTS Luffy beat Boa sisters that both had haki?
one of them even had barrier haki

56yr old Doji with ALOT and YEARS of training is still weaker than 19yr old Luffy
So yes, I say 17yr Luffy is way stronger than Doji

You're joking right.

Please provide me the age when he gained the sword. Don't make assumptions or make stuff up and then claim that you have facts that disorders easier to use.

Just because he can stop enma from taking haki when he is not using haki at all doesn't mean he have fully mastered enma.

Just because you can drive a car through a obstacle course at a low speed does not mean you can drive the same car through the same obstacle at a high speed and perform just as well.

:milaugh::milaugh::milaugh::milaugh::milaugh:

Who else but you guys are coming like virusus

First why was Kinemon afraid back then ?
Second he took out all bandits in the region not Ashura alone it was everyone against there were so many warriors the fight was nearly 2 days long so even back then Oden was far stronger than Ashura

so in this way Oden is jsut impressive because many adults couldnt handle it and he could do it

but even if we go by your logic then you hype Zoro more :funky:
muahahahahah
because if Enma isnt impressive that means ZORO IS IMPRESSIVE !!!!!!:gokulaugh:
means Zoro is abilites skill and haki are very impressive to cut Kaido that hype Zoro more so this thread is rather upgrading Zoro than downgrading him

Yeah, and Luffy was having trouble against the Boa Sisters if he didn't have Gear Second. He was getting beaten up.

This year comparisson doesn't make sense because of one simple thing. You can't compare Luffy's growth from 17 to 19 from 1 to 17. Luffy grows really fast, just like you said, he is probably only behind Koby. But Luffy only gets stronger fast when he is actually being trained by someone that knows their shit or when he fights actual strong enemies that he needs to overcome. Until 17 years old, Luffy was stuck in that island, with no official trainer and no real strong enemies to fight, he spend a bunch of days just using his powers against rocks and animals, Garp didn't teach him shit, so yeah, his growth from 1 ~ 17 is not the same as his growth from 17 ~ 19.

Now think about Doji, he was living as a teenager in a lawless area of Wano, he had to learn to fight and survive, especially needed Haki early on. He became the STRONGEST AND THE LEADER of the area by 17, only being defeated by Oden later on. Doji was already considered one of the STRONGEST SAMURAIS OF WANO at that time, he couldn't go up much further, but he did learning a bit from Oden, even tho he rejected Oden's two sword style at first. So Doji didn't have much space to grow from 17 to 56, because he was already crazy strong by that age, and he had no devil fruit or conqueror's haki to amplify his powers.
