General & Others Will Black Blades be Important to the story?

They have limitations.

One of those limitations is even with a Black Blade you can't stop an extinction event.

It's not a magic wand that you can wave and suddenly all your problems go away.

Only if the story would be about being the strongest.

But OP is not about being the strongest. Roger wasn't the strongest. And luffy isn't the strongest - not even within his own crew.

The story is about nepotism, chosen fruits and plot armor.
If it were about strength Xebec would've had ended the series.
If it were about strength Mihawk would've had ended the series.
Hell, if it were about strength, Ryuuma would've had ended the series.

But we need need a dumb condom with a shit load of plot armor so he can pull his retarded 32iq points take to end the story.

Black blades are going to be important in the sense they are Zoro's EoS Powerup, a power he shares with only a handful of characters as of now, and It's likey going to be the very peak of CoA (maybe alongside other conditions and even some CoC, but mostly CoA).

That's it. They don't have the relevance of peak CoC or Awakening and I don't think they'll have a specific usage like AdvCoC on immortals had, for example.

However, they are going to be addressed and hyped as a peak of a type of haki and the final Power up of one of the mugis.

Black Blades for One Piece are what Super Saiyan 3 was for Dragon Ball Z or what Naruto's/Sasuke's ultimate forms were for Naruto...
Or maybe rather Vegito/Kaguya, whatever is the pinnacle of power in given universe.
The same goes for Black Blades, they represent the strongest beyond the strongest, the current #1 and the future #1 that will surpass him.
If they will somehow get incorporated into Luffy's plotline idk but they could be if Zoro ends up as a judge between living and the dead, he could technically bring Luffy back to life if he ends up dying for real.

No, considering it is a side quest for Zoro. Has Zoro ever expressed a desire to forge a black blade? Not that I recall.

Unfortunately, the blame lies with Oda for not prioritizing this. When some of the most formidable swordsmen do not possess one, it suggests that it is not particularly important and does not offer any significant advantages beyond the durability of the sword itself.
