Controversial Enma should have just been the Nidai Kitetsu

#1
One of the weirdest things about Wano is how the Nidai Kitetsu was totally ignored, even though you’d think it be one of the most prominent swords of the arc since it’s a more powerful version of a sword that Zoro’s been carrying since chapter 100. Imo it would have been better if Oden’s sword was the Nidai Kitetsu instead of Enma. Since the Nidai’s a cursed sword, it would honestly make even more sense for it to have the Haki sucking ability than for Enma to have it (Enma was never stated to be a cursed sword).

I feel like Oda may have considered this, but chose to go with Enma because he planned for Zoro to unlock his “King of Hell” technique, and Enma means king of Hell. So basically, the Nidai got shafted because Oda really wanted more justification to give Zoro’s ACoC techniques an edgy epithet

Tell me you don't understand Zoro and his relationship with his swords without telling me you don't understand Zoro and his relationship with his swords
