Powers & Abilities Why Zoro turning Enma into a blade blade symbolises surpassing Oden

Whatever the reason might be, a swordsman who forged a blackblade will most definitely be stronger than a swordsman who did not, unless latter has some powerful DF to compensate for his inferior swordsmanship. But as it stands, Oden and Zoro are swordsmen of the exact same kind. The only difference is basically that Zoro has an additional sword in his mouth.
My issue is characters generally exists for main characters to surpass them, because the author spends more stock, the more time, the more effort and the more resources which time is also a resources in main character.
Swordsmen in One Piece are there for Zoro to surpass them either directly or indirectly. Black Blades exists so Zoro can finally learn about them and make one, just like Ryou exists for Zoro to learn and master it, like elemental swordsmanship like cutting fire exists for Zoro to learn and master it.
On top of it the concept of swords carrying will of swords master is very well established in manga and when Zoro acquired Enma, he in a way inherited Oden's will and as one of the main characters of the story he has to surpass the legacy of Oden, do what Kozuki Oden failed to do.
And one thing he certainly failed to do is as Hitetsu told us, turning Enma permanently black which Zoro would do, even if on the surface level Black Blade is nothing but a way to make your blade unbreakable, symbolically it is means of Oda showing us Zoro has graduated from being in Oden's league to a league beyond Oden regardless of specifics.
I know we have seen some crazy feats from Oden but in the history of One Piece what does Oden really represent? He does not represent peak of swordsmanship because the world did not recognize him as strongest swordsman in the world. He is not even regarded as the greatest samurai associated with Wano that is Ryuma. Oden's importance is linked strictly to this arc, he would not matter after Wano has ended, I don't think he would even be referenced.
So when Wano ends, it is essential that Zoro has graduated from what Oden represents so he starts working towards greater legacy and take next steps like surpassing Shanks then surpassing Mihawk then Ryuma then Roger or who ever else

Unless ... Gyukimaro already explained
You are completely driving against the manga's statements.
Thinking that the black blade is exclusively because of the CoA level is perhaps the dumbest thing that Zoro's fandom started declare as true. It's like there's no limit to the wank, which is the next step? Zoro> Kaido?
Mihawk > Roger ?

Why are you this detached with reality? Is Anti Zoro-Pro Sanji agenda so strong with you, you have lost your sanity over it?

What kinda bizarro world are we in?
We have a guy obsessed with Japanese Cartoon incest porn calling normal people insane?
I always forget I am on a forum where people spend hours talking about Japanese cartoons. I need to stop expecting everyone to act like a normal human being here....Carry on man, Zoro fans are insane. You got this :cheers:
@Chaves the Mr Air Bar would tell you "Roger mastered some secrete martial arts of barmanship and purposefully decided to not take advantage of swords lethality so that he is not a pure swordsman anymore"

Inb4 Roger's CoC is on the level of Whitebeard's Gura fuit. 
I don't give a shit about that fucked up shit like cartoon fetish.
You literally said you wanted to see Sanji sexually touch Reiju or some shit. Want me to show snaps? Don't dodge that shit now **** after you gonna talk shit to people.
I don't like bringing this shit up again and again but you need to stop acting a like a little whinny bitch and throwing tantrums every time someone says something remotely positive about Zoro that goes against your head canon.
