King and Queen were introduced on 925 lol, how was the anime doing something Oda hadn't done yet at the time? The opening came a time after that
You guys are willing to look at that sword we see in the manga and say "yeah this is a random white thing in his hip" because the anime made it look like that, peak nonsense
You still aren't understanding what I'm saying.
The anime made an Opening with King/Queen/Jack appearing in it & that opening was released before King appeared in an
episode.
That had King with white wings. They never animated King with white wings in an actual episode lol.
Oda never really called GB's blade a "Black Blade" like how he did with Yoru or Shusui.
And we were all waiting for GB's design to appear with color & now it did.
Toei isn't dumb enough to remove things like this from GB's abilities w/o consulting with Oda.
