At the wake of utter and complete devastation of both Nika and Nidhogg, by the Blade of Void and the Blade of Hatred...
...we find ourselves back at the same question that we experienced at the start of this voyage, despite being near its end:
- Is Swordsman a Swordsman? -
The same copium-fueled nonsense that we saw all these years when they tried to save Roger, Shanks, Rocks, Shamrock, Nusjuro...
Roger lasted the longest, all the way until Wano when Zoro obtained the power of a handful of the strongest.
That was the moment when Roger Gang ran out of copium and the backbone of their delusion finally collapsed.
Until then, all kinds of mental gymnastics were performed which now, looking back, look utterly ridiculous.
Even back then, to everyone sane, it looked just as ridiculous.
While they grabbed onto guns and hakiman gymnastics, the sane people always had the same reaction:
Man, look at that self-sabotage...
Shanks was also a long-lasting source of copium, spanning through all these years alongside Roger.
He was a little bit less of a sinking straw than Roger was because many considered him weaker than Roger and ignored my teachings that Shanks was all that Roger was but better. Instead of >No way is Mihawk stronger than Pirate King, here we had >No way is Mihawk stronger than Oda's self-insert and MC's idol...
The god king, the ultimate hakiman, kickboxer or whatever...
Same result... Self-sabotage...
Shanks Gang broke down when they saw that all they hoped for Shanks is present on every swordsman worth his salt.
Shamrock is one of the latest copium pitstops, short-lived so far due to late introduction but not a little bit less relevant than others.
We can already see that the Copium Gang threw away Shanks in favor of Shamrock as the stronger brother.
It is fine now that Mihawk is stronger than Shanks because Shamrock is stronger than both.
He is the mighty swordsman, buffed by the immortality covenant and the mighty Cerberus!
Meanwhile, to everyone sane, Shamrock too is also just a self-sabotage...
Baron V Nusjuro can also be found among the premium cope stock.
Not as favored as others because of direct link to Zoro and inevitable doom by Kitetsu swordsman, one or another but still a staw to grab onto.
This is the light and the end of the tunnel, the one who towers above Mihawk.
The one who is supposedly going to be Zoro's final fight in the show.
While different from others, also, clearly and purely, self-sabotage...
Rocks D Xebec or Davy D Xebec, one of the Imu's enemies and the rival of mighty Harald.
The guy who shoots cannonballs made of haki! This was the long-awaited saving grace of the Copium Gang.
Finally a Hakiman that does things even Shanks cant do!
In the end, nothing but a swordsman who accomplishes the same as all others before him - upscaling Mihawk.
Rode a strong but short hype wave and ended up as just another self-sabotage of those who cannot accept the most obvious...
---------------------------------------------------
In the end, we arrive at Nerona Imu.
The shining star that once again gives hope to the hopeless.
This character resurrects all the mental gymnastics that died away during these long years, giving them a second chance.
It will be different this time, right? Right?!
Oda could have chosen any attack, any weapon to end the two archenemies of Mu but he chose swords.
Other than regular Omen-named attacks, the 3 that stand out are all swords - Nemesis, Stigma and Vohu!
He ended Nidhogg with the Blade of Hatred.
He chose to end Nika with the Blade of Nothingness(Shiryu stocks up, up and away).
The Gang is now forced with 2 choices:
1 - Deny Imu being a swordsman
2 - Admit the obvious but be in perfect condition for mental gymnastics
The first choice is already a "safe path" that many are taking but delusional nonetheless, same as denying Roger being a swordsman.
The second choice seems to also gain serious traction, the copium stocks are refueled and they are ready.
Ready to take the final stand because they ran out of space to move the goal post.
Nerona Imu is the saviour, the one who will do what all others before him failed to do - dethrone Mihawk.
We are already seeing that Imu is the true World's Strongest Swordsman while Mihawk is the fake World's Strongest Swordsman.
Zoro's goal will turn into becoming the fake World's Strongest Swordsman because there is no way he could beat the true one.
Of course, that makes sense. Because him being stronger than Imu doesnt make sense... Right? Right?!
Or you could go with Erkan's copium nindo of saying that Imu is WSS while Mihawk and Zoro are merely WGS but not sure if it would help.
Ask yourselves - Why doesnt Oda attach the "World's Strongest" under Imu's name?
Ask yourselves - Why arent Nemesis, Stigma and Vohu the strongest weapons in the world, instead of Yoru?
Are we at the end of the copium nindo or will there be others, perhaps those that Imu fears, as new copium checkpoints?
Just how much damaji are yall going to do to yourself with all this sabotaji?
Let the scholars begin to huff the premium stuff.

If you call me "Werkan-sama" like that bootlicker GalaxyLevelShanks the circle will be complete.
