Powers & Abilities Zoro’s final set of swords and shimotsuki power ups

#22
My head canon.
Zoro already has "Enma" and "Wado" , which was created by the same swordsmith , Shimotsuki Kozaburo.

And Shimotsuki Clan members grave have a Sword with them. Sword which was rightfully Crafted for them in the first place.

Enma and Wado were not specifically created for Zoro. Zoro took on someone else mantle.

As Zoro is confirmed Shimotsuki , I expect him to get a sword of his own.... Which is crafted only for him.

Kozaboro gave Enma to Oden at his birth if I'm not wrong or a bit later and Same for Wado and kuina.

I don't see Oda digging Zoro backstory now , but maybe by final arc , he gets a sword of his own when people recognise his lineage , "Some sbs said Zoro will move on to master 4 sword style later on , maybe this 4th sword is his own"

Personally I don't see any of the sword taken from him at this point.
Wado-Enma-kitetsu are good enough.
With him having 2/3 shimotsuki forged blades I do hope he gets a third. Especially if asura ends up actually being related to him being a shimotsuki specifically Ryuma’s descendent
Some forging him a sword of his own would be dope too

Side note momo should lowkey get nidai the more I think about it.
  1. It was made by his great grandfather with his other sword made by his grandfather
  2. His father and father figure both use 2 sword style so he might too
  3. Zoro took his purple sword and nidai is purple

Sandai is not going anywhere, it's going straight to supreme grade so at this point all 3 will turn black in the same fight but in 3 different moments, kinda like Luffy losing multiple times against the same opponent Zoro will lose 2 times before he can defeat Mihawk.

Why would sandai become a supreme grade blade when it’s the lowest grade
What would that make wado and enma?

Zoro's final set of swords will be... nine of them.

Zoro will get a pet dragon that ate a black blade fruit. It will be called Black Blade Dragon. It will carry Zoro's extra swords he will use, similar to how Onimaru/Gyukimaru carried around his weapons. In the hybrid form it will look like Zoro is using a sword to fly.

By now, we've all had some idea that the swords in Asura are more than just illusions. If you ignore the extra arms and heads there are just 6 swords floating there. This is how Zoro will use 9 swords in the end, he will use levitation to control them. Shodai, Nidai, Shusui and the BBD are four of them already. One of the remaining two could be the flame sword Zoro wanted in Roger's cutlass, Ace.

What do you think zoro’s final set of swords will be? Which will be blackened?

Personally I think enma and wado are 100% locked in as swords he’s always going to keep. Both having deep ties to his past, future, and overall character

Like many I thought zoro giving up sandai for nidai was a legit possibility but as we can see it didn’t happen. It’s not that it’s a bad sword but it it doesn’t carry as much weight as the other 2 imo
  • It’s the lowest grade blade possible before it hits just a normal sword. Under supreme, great, and skillful grade blades
    • Wado and enma both being great grade
    • To be fair it being a cursed blade does make it stronger than those that aren’t just not as good quality wise
Tbh I just want him to have another great grade quality sword that’s even more cursed. What would it be capable of? Idk. Why would he give up sandai after all this time? Idk. Maybe instead of it getting destroyed or him returning/trading it someone just offers him a really important sword to him. That or he just steals it. Lowkey what if just stole shiryu’s sword thinking he don’t deserve it. He can still keep sandai and maybe makes a side goal of collecting all 3 Kitetsu.

As for which blades he turns black I hope it’s only wado. It’s been with him the longest with it symbolizing his promise to kuina, luffy, and himself. Also with it not being cursed it should have something to help it stick out more from the rest. Plus black blade with a white handle is sexy


Finally on to the man everyone loves to hate both zoro fans and haters. A man thats going to force zoro to grow even stronger. Whether or not shiryu himself grows stronger before the fight achieving awakening or feeding his sword a fruit idk but he’s still going to be enough to push zoro either way
The main consensus is that he is going to force zoro to strengthen his observation haki to a potentially advanced stage. Something I still don’t necessarily disagree with but what if zoro grows stronger in a different way. That way potentially being through a rarely passed on ability given to a select few of Ryuma’s descendants. Which in zoro’s case would be asura

How it’d get stronger? Either just by being able to simlply use it longer or by being able to not fully commit. Maybe being able to use between 4-8 swords instead of all 9
As for how it could be necessary to use and the perfect counter to shiryu. Zoro is obviously going to need to use and waste lots of haki just to try and keep up with shiryu and where he’s hiding. If it really comes down to zoro exhausting his observation haki instead of upgrading it asura is the perfect response. Other than the fact he can’t see the invisible man it gives zoro essentially no blind spots. So when shiryu tries to sneak him he’s still going to risk the possibility of getting cut himself

Zoro might not need to use koh mode on shiryu cause it might not even help much cause the match up so he’s either saving that for mihawk or a potential different final opponent
He will uses KoH vs Shiryu but won't land many hits

The battle against Shiryu will improve his stamina and CoO

Oda will once again prove that just cause your AP/DC is amazing, it doesn't mean you can beat someone (on similar level or higher) skilled

Wazamono is a classification of Japanese swords and swordsmiths used in Japan to identify historic blades of exceptional quality. According to the first edition of Kaiho Kenjaku (懐宝剣尺) published in 1797, There are 163 Wazamono swords in total, grouped into four categories based on their quality. Twelve swords are classified as Saijō Ō Wazamono (Supreme Grade), twenty-one swords are classified as Ō Wazamono (Excellent), fifty swords are classified as Yoki (Ryō) Wazamono (Very Good), and eighty swords are classified as Wazamono (Good).
This rating is based on a book compiled by Yamada Asaemon V (山田浅右衛門吉睦), an official sword cutting ability examiner and executioner of the Tokugawa shogunate, and is an authoritative index of cutting ability of Japanese swords. The list of ratings concerning swordsmithing differs between Kaiho Kenjaku (懐宝剣尺) published in 1797 and the reprinted edition published in 1805, and the major revised edition of Kokon Kajibiko (古今鍛冶備考) published in 1830. Add up the number of sword smiths in each edition: Saijo Ō Wazamono 15, 'Ō Wazamono 21, Yoki Wazamono 58, Wazamono 93, lower 3 grade mixed 65.[1]
The grades are based on this, 12 supreme blades + 3 after a revision, coincidentally Zoro has 3 swords under supreme grade.

Ok but even if we say zoro makes them all black that wouldn’t push sandai up 3 levels or make it the same level as his higher grade black blades

It’s not like shusui is a supreme grade just because it’s black

We don't know what grade shusui was before it was made perma black, it's possible that it wasn't graded.

Zoro will be like Luffy has 3 adhaki & will have 3 df powers in one (g5), and Teach will have 3 dfs
He will have 3 swords from 3 main Wano families :
Shimotsuki (Wado) , Kozuki (Enma) & Kurozumi (?)
Even though all 3 made from Shimotsuki craftsman
