Imu having a black blade is interesting but it’s not really computing for me narrative wise.
Till now Oda’s made black blades pretty much exclusive to those with an affiliation to the WSS title irregardless of how strong certain characters who wield swords/weapons are so it feels a bit odd that Imu has one simply bcoz he’s a strong. Feels a bit counterintuitive.
Like he did with black flames though, if he’s tryna telegraph what that future PU for Zoro is gonna be like then I somewhat get it but reasoning here is a bit weak.
Btw I can see why top 1 in the verse having a black blade is hype for Zoro fans not knocking that. Just kinda question why Imu has been given a black blade other than the fact that he’s incredibly strong. Maybe Oda’s gonna go the route of master of all arts with Imu given he’s lived for so long 🤔 but I’m not really sure how sensible that route is with Zoro’s goal in mind.
