Mihawk never went to Wano where it seems it’s common knowledge how Black blades work.

And as far as we know there has not been a creator of a black blade in hundreds of years

So how did Mihawk learn how make a Black blade to begin with? I mean no one in the wider world outside of Wano has been shown knowing how make one. Can you just accidentally make a black blade without knowing the specific method of making one? If so then why didn’t [Insert your fav swordsman top tier] ever manage to accidentally just do it too?

the only outside information on Black blades we can even account for is Tashigi’s sword collection book but all it does is list the swords, it doesn’t also say how Black blades are formed

Also Shusui has been in Wano or hidden on Thriller bark for centuries as well so it’s unlikely Mihawk just found it one day to study it or something. Tho it’s then weird that Tashigi’s sword collection book had Shusui in it somehow. (Typical plot hole and lazy worldbuilding from Oda here)

Other top tiers didn't do it accidentally for the same reason they didn't do it willingly: they weren't strong enough.

Mihawk may have very well achieved it accidentally, just look at CoC coating: it's the trait of a top tier, but Zoro achieved it without even knowing what he was doing.

Since we still don't know his story, it may have also been willingly, but as you know it's simply too soon to know.

Edit: I'll throw in there Luffy achieving awakening without knowing what he was doing.

I know what happened. He was fighting Shanks, during the fight Mihawk Shanks was winning then Yoru said to Mihawk you have reached the pinnacle of skill but this isn’t enough. We need more power said Yoru, at that moment Mihawk poured all of his haki into Yoru and the blade slowly turned black and black lightning raged from his blade.

Mihawk got up for his final attack as he swung his blade the clouds split, the earth shattered, leaving the island split in two. The moment the slash was about to reach Shanks he put Griffin in its sheath and glared at the slash and began to walk through the slash with black lightning shattering the atmosphere with every step he took. The slash couldn’t penetrate his barrier and was it was as if the attack wasn’t there.

When Shanks got in front of Mihawk he fell to his knees and said even at the pinnacle of swordsmanship I could not beat you. Shanks said to Mihawk your sword skill has surpassed even mines but you will never surpass me in strength. He then pulled Griiffin out and put it to Mihawks neck saying I win now let’s drink!!!!!

That doesn't make sense. Zoro has to BEAT mihawk in a fight using ALL HIS POWER.

If I’m being serious I’d assume he knew what it was and turned it by accident. Only because Ryuma had one. It’s really hard to say without knowing much about Mihawk.

“A nick on the blade is a mark of shame, focus on that and you get a black blade”
Mihawk literally forged a black blade by refusing or postponing his fights and never damaging his sword
:saden:

Doing it by accident invites questions regarding why it’s so rare to do then?

literaly across 800 years of one piece history only two people have done it… If we learn it can be done by accident then it becomes absurd how rare this is

@SakazOuki
Hmmm, But Gyukimaru in Wano claims Ryuma’s black blade was “forged from countless battles”
