Because I have yet to define him as a swordsman, until he actually showcases swordsmanship.
But if you're asking of my opinion in general, I do hold Fujitora superior to Aramaki. But not something I'm willing to argue on, as I've stated before Aramaki/Fujitora/Akainu/Kizaru all can be argued for being the strongest marines through portrayal or feats or combination of both.

Kizaru has shown great usage of his legs, haki, able to shoot lasers/DF abilities through it, and his kicking form is great. Akainu hasn't shown anything.
Hands in pockets Akainu best feat = Stopping WB's gura infused supreme blade with his foot.
Hands in pockets Kizaru's best feat = Holding down WB's bisento with his foot.
Hands in pockets Aokiji's best feat = Flash freezing Doflamingo before he could strike Smoker right underneath him.
Mfw C3 hands in pocket feats are better than 99% of the verse.
It was stated that Ryuma kept celestial dragons outside of Wano by some random Wano peasant who worships him. We know from the Gorosei themselves that they consider Wano hard to get into because of the borders, nothing more.
Kaido himself claims this.
And when you have the main villain of Wano hyping up Joyboy and not Ryuma, as well as Oden hyping up only Joyboy............
It´s pretty clear that Oda decided to make Wano an arc about pirates instead of an arc about Samurai.
I had to make sure I wasn't tripping. I agree with the overall post you made, but to add on to your post:
1. I've yet to look at the raws for chapter 937, but based on the other languages for that panel, "World Noble" that the viz uses isn't referring to Celestial Dragons, like the spanish version and the non-viz english version translate it as simply many nobles. As it would also make 0 sense for a random ass fox to know who the Celestial Dragons are, when the Scabbards/Oden/such had no clue about even the marines let alone the CD. However, we do know around 400 years ago kingdoms (like Noland's) were actively attacking countries for Gold, and based on the magazine Ryuuma lived around 400 years ago, similar time to Noland. So really... it was random ass kingdoms and pirates attacking Wano. Now i'll stand corrected happily if it's shown in the raws that the term 世界貴族 is used in chapter 937 when the fox mentions "world nobles"
2. As you pointed out we already know the World Government hasn't fucked with Wano due to the natural borders erected in the aftermath of the Void Century war. Like bruh we literally seen one of the Yonko's get fucked up from tryna climb that shit up.
3. The consistent lies about how Ryuuma has made Wano's reputation as country of strong samurais still stand, centuries later... is so grossly overrated....
Brook from 50 years ago recognizes Wano being a country of powerful swordsmen, and people credit this straight to Ryuuma. In reality, we're told that a group of Samurai left Wano just few years before Brook gets fucked up. And we literally know Kuina's grandfather who is a powerful swordsman was a wanted criminal by the Marines. And lord knows which other mfs from Wano caused up havoc on the seas or became powerful entities since leaving Wano. And just like Oden, these mfs 99.9% made the world news.
Then Oden was making headlines as the samurai from Wano being incredibly powerful just few decades ago....
Point being that even outside of Ryuuma, the World Government has multiple things to reflect to when determining Wano as a powerful nation, not just some fossil from centuries ago.
They aren't, that's based on a faulty translation. Supreme Blades hold the most important out of the weapons, hence Oda made sure to bring it up pre-Chapter 100. Ryuuma's black blade is an inferior weapon to the supreme blades.
-> All the characters i mentioned either hold Supreme Blades and/or can rival those that hold them with unknown graded blades or other fighting styles.
Sorry, your hillbilly sword god from an isolated island doesn't hold up with today's top tiers.
1) It's a canon fact that black blades are considered the strongest swords. Doesn't matter the sword grade.
2) Ryuma is one of only 2 characters in the story that doesn't have a single ounce of negative portrayal. He's above all the characters you stated regardless of your feelings.
3) That's almost as idiotic as saying today's top tiers are above Joyboy

1. It is not. You have a faulty translation panel from non-manga source to back that claim up. 12 Supreme Blades are the strongest blades as established pre-grandline. Yoru among them, according to Mihawk's limited knowledge, is recognized as the strongest blade.
2. Cool, irrelevant, he's a hillbilly Zoro from 400 years ago, in a watered down time, below the current top tiers.
3. Not as idiotic as you attempting to compare Ryuuma's era to Joyboy's era. Lmao like yo what?? This is the era where the biggest battle(s) since void century (Joyboy's time) are gonna take place. It'd be more reasonable to assume current top tiers are above Joyboy than it is to assume Ryuuma is above the current top tiers. As we already had one of the current top tiers, Shanks, being compared to Joyboy's stored up Haki.
Nope, it's Zoro himself that said Black blades are the toughest blades.
And if you think the road to laughtale translation is incorrect then bring the correct translation from credible japanese source pls. I'd like to see it

The world govt hasn't lost any power in 8 centuries. Prove to me why u think the enemies Joyboy faced have to be much stronger than the ones Ryuma faced. "Current top tiers > Joyboy" you must be on crack to assume that. Nobody aside from Luffy will sniff Joyboy's level.
Shanks all out haki is compared to just a small fraction of Joyboy's haki and you think that's enough to equate today's top tiers? Lol nah u got it man. I don't see any point of arguing if this is what you think

Nice headcanon. There is no canon proof where it's stated in which timeline Ryuma existed.

-> Which specific panel are you referring to from Zoro? post it. And it ain't about what I think, it's about what I know. 「世界最強」とも名高く、"剛"と"柔"を両立する至高の黒刀。 is the line you need to get translated. So find the japanese source you trust and get them to translate it. Let me know if they see "most elite swords" in there. In reality, it specifically highlights the fact Yoru is a SUPREME blade "Known as the strongest, this SUPREME Black Blade balances "power" and "gentleness
".
-> His grave is in New Wano. He's stated to have fought off pirates, Joyboy was the first pirate in history, so there weren't pirates during void century, meaning his era was post- Void Century. The magazine points to him being around 400 years ago. Which is the same time as when Kingdoms like Noland's were attacking other countries for Gold.
-> The World Government has gotten stronger over the 800 centuries. With this version of the Marine, the army of the World Government, being recognized as the strongest in history. And with them continuously aiming for technological improvements for centuries at the very least under Saturn, but likely before tooo. We also know the great era of Piracy brought upon a chaos to the world never seen before in the 800 centuries. To the extent they created the title of "Worst Generation" for the rising era of pirates due to how their extreme nature. This is then escalated by Whitebeard's death even more when there's more competition on the seas.
Somebody gathered up their haki and stored it in a seal, and you equate that to "Fraction of their haki", and yet you talk about others saying headcanon? nani? Where is it stated that it's only fraction of Joyboy's Haki? Logical assumption would be Joyboy gathered up as much Haki as he could at the time and stored it, as Haki can just be regained with some rest later.
Show me the enemies Ryuuma faced, prove to me that he faced Imu or Gorosei caliber enemies. Prove to me he actually fought a top tier.

Yeah, Wano people don't know about the rest of the world, so I don't think they'd necessarily even know what "world nobles" really are. It could be any rich assholes like Sabos family,but realistically it was probably similar to the celestial dragon "fieldtrips". If the Gorosei tried taking over a country, they wouldn't be looking for gold really, nor would they be calling themselves like nobles. They are scummy ofc, but they aren't hedonistic and they know Optics. certainly Ryuma beating a Gorosei would be a bigger deal then slaying a dragon.
-> You keep rehashing a panel from a fox that hasn't stepped a day out of Wano, in attempts to convince people of What Wano's reputation is based on... like what??
- 50+ years ago samurai left Wano, some of them became renowned criminals like Kuina's grandfather
- 20+ years ago Oden was making headlines worldwide as a powerful entity to the extent even the likes of Sengoku hold him to some degree of respect.
- Izou is a famous recognized commander from Wano acknowledged by the CP0
Read the whole series, instead of just individual panel. There have been numerous people overtime that contributed to Wano's renown.
-> Zoro has 2 blades that are 21 graded swords and another that's the imitation of a 21 graded blade, and we shall see if one of them will be recognized as a supreme blade or not once he turns 1 of them into a black blade. All the others listed use 1 single blade. lol. Uhh because a black blade has relevance of some degree to swordsmanship? Nobody here said turning a blade black isn't an impressive feat. Just that it has 0 relevance to where you stand as a top tier.
Well he can Low diff a YC1 right now
He nearly killed Lucci..yes nearly killed him in a single relatively low end attack.
And Luccis performance against final form of Luffy a Yonko was much better than YC1 level Luffys performance against Base and Weakest form of Kaido.
EoS Yonkou would be equivalent of YC1/Sanji/Law/Kidd

Bro shut the fuck already lmao.
Forget Zoro, a life long fodder to Zoro Sanji is also 100% beating an Admiral.
Imagine glazing Zoro for years and moving on the glazing characters Oda is setting up to lost to Sanji.

Joy Boys entire hype is based on statements too

I have zero interest in overrating any character in form of entertainment i dont really find entertaining so i just speak the truth as it is.
Zoro will always get bare minimum 90% of special abilities or equivalent of that in combat.
Like he got AdvCoC and AdvCoA now, EoS what ever reality warping bullshit Oda comes up with that neg diffs Yonkou, Oda will find a way to latch that on to Zoro as well.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh thinks beating an Admiral is an accomplishment. Id he severely disappointed if Marine Ford Colored trio in 1v3 can beat Zoro EoS.
Question is whether or not Zoro can take out an Admiral with pure CoC and considering how Shanks had Green Bull pissing his pants from CoC, EoS Zoros CoC easily kills at least an Admiral @MonsterKaido
Seriously bro said "Miraculously beats an Admiral" LMAOOOO HOLY MOTHER OR AUTISM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅
Odas retarded writing as really turned everyone here into retard too
I feel like you're underestimating yc1s a little bit. Reminder, unlike the Yonko and admirals, there's no reason to think all yc1 are relative. For example,Katakuri is Big Moms son, and in the grand scheme of things in the totoland empire, he can't tell her anything. It was even stated the entire crew can't stop Big Mom if they tried. When Katakuri was defeated, Big Mom doesn't really care,that's just her pampered son,she stills looks down on Luffy. Big mom views her real pirate partners as the Rocks crew, Kaido is her little bro for example
On the other hand, you have a dude like Shiryu who is a yc1 and will probably give Zoro a good fight
Hands in pockets Akainu best feat = Stopping WB's gura infused supreme blade with his foot.
Hands in pockets Kizaru's best feat = Holding down WB's bisento with his foot.
Hands in pockets Aokiji's best feat = Flash freezing Doflamingo before he could strike Smoker right underneath him.
Mfw C3 hands in pocket feats are better than 99% of the verse.
Fujitora receiving a supreme blade on top of the gravity fruit and Greenbull with a black blade added to his nature logia when Oden, a dfless man who almost defeated Kaido, wasn't given either as a dedicated swordsman Mihawk/Zoro style...crazy.

He did get a character arc. If you watch the Zoro vs Killer fight, there were less grey cubes flying on the screen and less colors, but then when he fought King there were a lot of grey cubes and a lot more colors. Then he said he King of Hell, before he was not king of hell now he king of hell so no king of hell then king of hell, that's an arc. Other lesser characters require an entire dedicated story to go from hick to King but there is no character as great as Zoro in fiction, like Mr. Morj told me, so he did it in a few chapters. Also more black squiggles. Lanji cried a bit then kicked a fat guy, that's his character arc.
