I’ve made several disjointed threads about my ideas regarding this, but I thought it would be best to coalesce everything into one over-arching thread.
(I’ll embed the images later but I’m using my phone so for now it’s just Imgur links)
Here’s the gist of the idea I have:
Fujitora is:
1) a moral/kind admiral
2) someone who accidentally causes destruction wherever he goes
3) an observation haki specialist
Ryokugyu is:
1) an evil/hardline admiral (the opposite of Fujitora)
note: there’s a strong possibility that’s he’s a “delinquent with a heart of gold” trope - Yoshio Harada, the actor Ryokugyu is based on, plays these characters A LOT - for the sake of this thread and the current evidence I’m going to assume this is not the case
2) someone who accidentally causes RESTORATION wherever he goes (another stark contrast to Fujitora)
3) You can guess what I’m going to write here. Fujitora is an observation specialist, therefore Ryokugyu is an armament specialist.
I strongly believe that most of the (admittedly little) information we have about Black Blades implies that the key to obtaining one is armament haki, not conqueror’s.
A sword being a black blade is related to being clad in haki according to Mihawk. This doesn’t really fit super well with what we know about conqueror’s, even now, since hardening/“cladding” weapons specifically is more associated with armament. We also know lots of obvious conqueror’s specialists (Roger, Shanks, etc) without black blades.
Previously, I’ve stated that I thought Kizaru would be Zoro’s opponent. I no longer believe this.
While Ryokugyu possessing a black blade doesn’t make it impossible that he’s a Sanji opponent, the evidence would undeniably tilt towards a confrontation between him and Zoro.
