General & Others Purple cursed and white blessed swords

#1
Oden wielded 2 swords back when was alive the purple enma and white ame no habakiri

With enma getting tons of hype and focus while habakiri really doesn’t get anything. Everytime both blades are mentioned together it’s always enma getting wanked. Despite them both being the same grade and both being swords used by oden since he was young habakiri seems weak in comparison. With the blade seemingly being simple to master without any real learning curve.


Maybe instead of Ame no habakiri just being some basic blade what makes it more special is just something more passive and difficult to notice

Enma like most cursed swords are only considered cursed because they are difficult to master. They might even kill you if you aren’t strong enough to use them. Once mastered it’ll help boost your attack power and strength in different ways depending on the specific blade

What if habakiri is the opposite of enma and cursed blades in general? So instead of it being a cursed blade that boost your attack power once mastered it’d be considered more of a blessed blade that protects the user once mastered. It likely not being easy to master a blade like that either but it’s significantly less dangerous and risky than trying and failing with a cursed blade. Worse case scenario with habakiri you just fail to master its full potential. Worse case scenario with enma you just straight
Enma and habakiri representing heaven and hell, Ying and Yang, cursed and blessed, attack and protect, etc


As for how momonosuke and zoro fit into this? They obviously each have 1 of oden’s beloved blades. Zoro the purple enma and momo the white habakiri


Zoro already has a white blade with his wado ichimonji. It being the sword the sword passed down from koshiro and kuina to him. It’s also the sword he used to proclaim that he’ll fulfill his and kuina’s dream of becoming the wss. It somehow carrying kuina’s will in a way similar to enma with oden’s would be really poetic. It’d be like she really was there the whole time supporting zoro so they can become the strongest. If wado does end up being the only blade of the 3 he makes black to it’d signify even more their connection and dream
As for what his third blade would be if I don’t 100% think he’s keeping sandai and kinda do hope he gets a new blade. It being another great blade made by Kozaburo would be cool. So it’d be him starting and ending his journey with 3 of his blades. At the very least something tied to the shimotsuki and a great grade. As for what could make it special enough to replace sandai? Idk

As for momonosuke he currently has the white habakiri meaning to fit the pattern he’d need a purple blade. As for where he’d get one? There’s coincidentally another purple cursed great grade blade on wano. This one in particular even being made by his kozuki ancestors. That blade obviously being the nidai kitetsu that his grandfather is holding.
As for why he’ll use nidai or 2 sword style in general?
  1. No one else is using it and it seems like a perfect replacement for enma especially with momo being a kozuki
  2. He wants to surpass oden his dad. Plus his other father figure kinemon also uses 2 sword style
