It’s almost as if Oda didn’t give us a full combat showcase for Aramaki and is saving him for later.
hmmmmm
He's saving Mihawk for later as well, why did he reveal about Yoru there?
When Oda wants us to know that a sword is a Kokuto, we know that for damn sure - he gives that information in the manga and doesn't leave it on the fence like this. We get clear confirmation from the manga itself that the sword is a Kokuto.
We didn't get that for Aramaki.
Specifically, the blade of the sword alone is turned black in black blades. Even in Shusui's example, although the Crossguard is shaded black in the black & white manga, it is actually gold and same goes for the handle, which is purple.
They do not worship Shusui because it is a black blade lol,
They worship Shusui because it is a relic of Ryuma.
The worship is for Ryuma, not for his sword. Lol
Yeah, and I never said they worship Shusui because it's a black blade.
The point is they know damn well what Black blades are - yet they didn't even make a single remark about Aramaki's blade even though it was unsheathed the entire time, is the point.
