Fanclub Temple of The Grandmaster Zoro
Okay so apparently the path to asura is described as
"Always desiring to be superior to others, have no patience for inferior and belittling strangers, like a hawk, flying high above and looking down on others, yet displaying justice, worship, wisdom and faith."
They are often described as as being the lowest order of good.
Now this philosophy ties heavily with zoro, since he displays this very frequently

Btw as I said before,
Oni Giri is a pun for riceball.
Yaki Oni Giri is a pun for grilled rice ball
Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri is probably a pun for shrimp mayonnaise rice ball (Ebi Mayoneezu)
Rengaku Oni Giri doesnt have any foodbased pun.
Zoro-Kaku's fight also has a lot of foodbased puns:
Nigiri → Nigiri sushi (hand-rolled sushi)
Toro → Toro (tuna)
Otoro → Otoro (fatty tuna)
Hirameki → Hirame (flounder)
Samon → Salmon
Yeah, Kaku could see Asura spirit
The fodders could also see Zoro's swords are bending in Enbima Yonezu attack
So those do have some effect on the characters of One Piece verse

Oda may have not fleshed out the concept yet. He seems to have added the spirit/aura accompanying Zoro's attacks after his Mihawk fight. I'm not convinced the Mihawk fight was the impetus for their manifestation, there doesn't really seem to have been any indication of that.
So far most of these spirits provide mere aesthetic appeal, but they might further Zoro's demonic theme. Some of his attacks do seem to have supernatural qualities:
The main reason to think there's something to the spirits is that Kaku implies that he created Asura with his spirit:
So perhaps the spirits that accompany Zoro have functions beyond mere aesthetics.
On another note, if like BOAT Asura is retconned to be an application of haki, I favour it being an advanced application of colour of armaments haki. Instead of welding your aura as an invisible armour, you shape it into solid objects (in Zoro's case the extra arms and heads). Others with these ability could e.g. manifest claws, gauntlets, real armour or other armaments with their aura. This is just a fanfic for now though.

- Embina Yonezu Oni Giri: his swords wave and bend.
- (Kokujo Ou) Tatsumaki: he creates a tornado.
- Kiki: Kyutoryu Asura: he manifests two extra arms and two heads.
- Hiryu: Kaen: wounds inflicted catch fire.

This describes the Asura god Rahu from Journey to the West to a point. The desire to be superior, no patience for inferior, belittling strangers... Rahu also happens to be a Nitoryu swordsman.
Their justice is determined by the rules of combat, the winner is just and the loser is wrong. Combat is part of their nature, they are not evil, just chaotic. Zoro is a milder version of this but when he is in bandana mindset he comes close to the way of Asura.

What are the differences?
