Questions & Mysteries Does Green Bull actually have a black blade?
- Thread starter centurion
- Start date
I'd say no for now but it could very well be one. And then the question becomes has Green Bull blackened the blade or did he receive it blackened like Zoro with Shisui?
Either way, if it is indeed a black blade then we need to think about top 15 Swordsman Piece. It would catapult Aramaki way up there. Purely swordsman battle not accounting for DF, other skills or haki.
1 Mihawk (black blade)
2 Aramaki Green Bull (black blade?)
3 Shanks
4 Gorosei Gandhi
5 Fujitora
6 Rayleigh (bad stamina due to age)
7 Shiryu
8 Zoro
9 Vista
10 Hyogoro (Ice Demon, only short time)
11 King
12 Killer
13 Denjiro
14 Cracker
15 Law

I couldn't tell properly how his sword looked like in the TCB fan scans, so I extracted the panel from the higher quality official Spanish scans to examine it.
Image resolution is 1438x2100 (highest I could find)
Looking closely at his pants, I can see the sword is inserted from the inside and sticks out from the outside (is that why his pants are ripped?) so its not really attached to the belt like some of us have assumed. Let's look at the sword now:
Without a doubt, there is no scabbard/sheath here... it looks too sharp and edgy for that to be possible. This is a blade, as you can clearly see the hamon (hardened outline) in the middle (yellow).
Here is another black blade (Shusui) for reference and comparison:
Or perhaps we are reading too much into this and he just coated his sword with the usual CoA black hardening...?

Because in all other panels Oda doesn't even draw it.

Now that Greenbull's time in Wano has come to an end and nobody in the verse ever seemed to give a damn about his blade, most likely no - it's probably some other color which Oda is forced to shade as black in the manga or CoA.
Especially since Wano is a country of Samurai where folks literally worship Ryuma's Kokuto Shusui & yet not a single soul even bothered to remark about Aramaki's supposed Kokuto.
