Spoiler One Piece Chapter Spoiler 1195 Spoilers Discussion

It's all in service of parallels. Oda will do any character assassination necessary to fit his mirrors. He made Roger into a Luffy-like idiot to show how similar they are, and he is now making Zoro even more retarded to keep the PK wings on par. It's shameful behavior, coming from an author.
Pretty much. It’s like how mumble rappers come up with the melody and cadence first, and fill it in with random words about flexing and bitches and guns.
Oda had it in his mind to have Zoro and Luffy get a CoC boost on Wano, and for Zoro and Sanji to get a CoC boost later on. And he filled it in with random slop (“how do I coat my swords…I thought only captains had this….a sense of seeeelf..”)

Oda is a mumble author
 
See the problem is that Kozaburo, Enma’s creator, only said one thing about Enma, and then Zoro IMMEDIATELY does the One thing Kozaburo says.

we aren’t led to believe that Zoro half accomplished what Kozaburo said, not he just did the thing Kozaburo said he should do. And that was that

the only argument you can make is that Zoro himself said that Oden did the thing easier than him. As in Zoro thinks Oden did the thing Kozaburo said to do, more easily than Zoro was doing it

So if there is something more to Enma it’s Zoro just ASSUMING that he should do whatever he did already but easier because of Oden.

Also everything else you thought about the mechanics of other swords was addressed by Kozaburo too. Kozaburo says that some just have “stronger personalities” than other swords… for no reason… It’s just random luck… Remember that Kozaburo also made Zoro’s Wado Ichimonji, and it has no Enma type powers.

So Oda’s explanation for Enma’s Haki suck, and Sandai being cursed and Wado Ichimonji being normal is that well, they just have different personalities, and the way you can’t explain why humans have different personalities, you also can’t explain why sword do too.

It’s a classic Oda “who cares” answer
I will say one thing about Enma and Zoro..

Kouzaburo called Enma, the Great King of Hell, Jigoku no Daiou.. Zoro named himself, the King of Hell..

Zoro literally self proclaimed himself weaker than Enma..

Great King of Hell > King of Hell..
