The very fact Oda goes out of his way to explain admiral shortcoming at every turn, all the while has BM almost die 6 times between 2 arcs with no explanation, is telling enough.
There are two possibilities:

1. Either every single moment where the Yonko have looked bad has no explanation, the Yonko are just scrubs,

or 2. There are reasons the Yonko look bad, but Oda doesn’t care to elaborate on them in the canon.

Either way, it really tells you exactly what Oda thinks of each group if he goes out of the way to protect the reputation of the Admirals this hard but doesn’t care to do the same for the Yonko. I think the only time where Oda ever gave an in canon explanation for a Yonko looking like shit was when he had Rayleigh state that he doubted he could beat Blackbeard after he utterly humiliated Blackbeard there. IMO it wasn’t even necessary to defend Blackbeard there, the guy has enough going for him and will have even more at EOS but what’s done is done.

Even Green Bull getting WiFi diffed didn’t age anywhere near as hard as Admiral haters thought it would as the same shit happened to the Gorosei and Imu lmfao. Oda even had Green Bull state he wanted to fight the RHP later while he made no such attempt to save the reputations of the Gorosei and Imu.

Don't forget that Joyboy haki didn’t do a thing to Kizaru, which adds to the explanation that GB was simply caught off guard by Shanks' haki.
 
Aramaki may have a black sword and this can be used as proof. Yet, I'd like to point out three things.

1. Why would Aramaki need a black sword if he has a Devil Fruit and vice versa?

2. Aramaki does not aspire to me as the guy who would turn a blade black. Even Shanks, who is Mihawk's closest rival, did not turn his blade black. Heck, even Roger did not have a black blade. Turning your blade black is the pinnacle of swordsmanship, this was only achieved by the God of the blade Ryuma and by the World's Strongest Swordsman Mihawk. I don't see Aramaki, the guy whose sword was not even named or called a black blade have one.

3. Let's not forget that the "official coloring" can also be wrong.

 
1. Why would Aramaki need a black sword for if he has a Devil Fruit and vice versa?
He doesn't need one, no, but Oda saw no contradiction in giving him one so he did

All this indicates is that black-blades may not really be reserved for devoted swordsmen but anyone with a powerful enough CoA

You're trying to theory craft, postulate and ask questions, but it is irrelevant because he was given one so there must be an explaination even if you cannot figure it out.

And, again if Ryo achieved one, doesn't that indicate you do not necessarily have to be the Strongest Swordsman ever to create one, just powerful enough CoA?

Sure, but Ju Peter's hair is more easy to mistake than a black sword on a manga:



It's uncanny.

Fujitora has a supreme grade, great COO and a devil fruit. Gorosei Baron has a supreme grade, a devil fruit, COC and broken regeneration.

I don't see the issue.
WB had Naginata, ACoC, Broken Paramecia, broken physical attributes.

What kind of stupid shit is this?
Why would Whitebeard need a weapon if he has a DF?
2. Aramaki does not aspire to me as the guy who would turn a blade black. Even Shanks, who is Mihawk's closest rival, did not turn his blade black. Heck, even Roger did not have a black blade.
Not Aramaki's problems that they suck
I don't see Aramaki, the guy whose sword was not even named or called a black blade have one.
no way your argument is that we don't know the name of his sword that he never pulled out
3. Let's not forget that the "official coloring" can also be wrong.
What color is it in the original manga?

This is true, I missed this.

None of them has a black blade though. Only Mihawk and Ryuma have confirmed black blades so far.
He doesn't need one, no, but Oda saw no contradiction in giving him one so he did
Understandable

Maybe?

How is it irrelevant? Only Mihawk and Ryuma achieved this swordsmanship fate so it is not irrelevant.

Does there need to be an explanation? No. It is still relevant. Maybe turning your blade black is not as high of a feat as it is or maybe I'm downplaying Aramaki too hard and he is one of the contenders for the WSS position? After all, Mihawk did not have it easy against Vista.




There isn't a way to distinguish if it's Yellow hair or not since it's all white, it's easier to fail than a black sword in my opinion.


The official digital coloring is done by Shueisha, not exactly Oda himself

Anyway, if Aramaki has a black blade, let him be I guess? Genuinely just pointing out my doubts
