Powers & Abilities Was Wado Always meant for Zoro?

#1
History of Wado Ichimonji ,
- It was already forged Before Kozaburo left Wano.
- Koushirou never Weilded it.
- Kuina Probably inherited , while adults thought she was a shitmotsuki too.

My take being. Shimotsuki have their Birthday in November.
  • Zoro - 11th Nov
  • Ushimaru - 2nd Nov
  • Ryuma - 6th Nov
  • Kozaburo - 14th Nov
Furiko Birthday is unknown.
And same Goes for Roronoa Arashi.

While other member birthdays are in
  • Kuina - Sept 17th
  • Koushirou - May 6th
  • Yasuie - April 2nd
Zoro / Ushimaru / Ryuma have high resemblance to each other. Means they are from a direct line , while Yasui / Kuina / Koushirou are from Brach Family line who ruled Over Hakumai.

Yasui was probably the which shares some lineage with Shimotsuki as he shares Dark blue shade of Ushimaru. They both were probably cousins.

And Shrine of Enma is in Hakumai , which was crafted by Kozaburo.
- Kozaburo probably never even lived in ringo.

We don't know how they both are even connected.
But Kozaburo , Kuina , Koushiro shares same Black Hair's. And that too their Hair ain't curly like , Zoro / Ushimaru or Ryuma.

Yasui is really odd among them.

My theory is when Wado Ichimonji was Crafted , it was given to Shimotsuki Furiko , which later on got inherited to next Hier of the family , who Furiko Son , Arashi , Arashi died fighting pirates. And sword proceeded to be Inherited to Roronoa Zoro.

Like Oden passed down the sword to Momonusuke and Hiyori.

And none weilded it in between until they claimed it.
Enma was cursed , it killed the user itself but didn't allow any new owner.
Zoro was the last , and Sukiyaki commented on Zoro being already an user of Wado ichimonji , handling Enma won't be tough.

Enma wasn't supposed to handed down to zoro but to Hiyori and her kids.

As The status of Furiko is unknown when Arashi died and same with Roronoa Pinzoro.

And Tera probably died even before Arashi , leaving zoro as an orphan , Kozaburo took the sword back for safe keeping.

Koushiro didn't even hesitate to give the sword to a kid. Who was crying over a friend / rival dying.

Koushiro damn knew about this whole time.
A sword chooses it's user , Zoro was always the Rightful owner to Wado Ichimonji. Which has been with him since day one , Of getting out to sea.

Nobody ever weilded a 21 Very good grade sword is weird in itself.

Also there is a high chance , As Kozaburo gifted Oden with Enma and sukiyaki might have given Nidai Kitetsu to Ushimaru (This is just a speculation).

But yea , Zoro was always had rights over Wado Ichimonji.

Wado is Zoro's Straw Hat
They were always supposed to be carried by the Only Person who shares their Dreams (Roger & Kuina)
Before being passed to the person who's the source of their Fighting Styles (Shanks brought Nika DF while Koushirou Trained Zoro)

And now just like it was revealed Kozaburo didn't forge only Wado but also Enma
It will be revealed that whoever made Luffy's Straw Hat, also made a Second Straw Hat
Both once belonged to a Legendary Figure who failed to become Ruler (Oden & Joy Boy)
But then They were in the hands of a Mysterious Female who's stuck with a Monster who ended up as Ruler instead (Hiyori/Orochi & Imu)

And instead of Scabbards, We have Joy Boy's Crew who are still Alive (Ancient Robot, Ancient Pet, Ancient Swordsman, Ancient Fishman ... etc)
And instead of Wano, We got Ancient Kingdom & it continues for so many other Parallels

Luffy's & Zoro's Stories are Two Faces of Same Coin
Wado & Straw Hat has always been Fated to be theirs & it's related to their Dreams

Regardless of lineage, Wado Ichimonji was created by Kouzaburou, Kuina's grandfather, so it was supposed to be her heritage. However, Zoro's lineage does seem to be the main one (even if he doesn't have the family name anymore, due to having blood ties to only a female Shimotsuki), as only Ushimaru/Furiko are mentioned as direct descendants of Ryuma. This makes him the rightful heir of Shusui (I guess that Oda needed to give a non-black blade for him to create his own path as a swordsman), but also could make a claim for Wado Ichimonji and Enma valid.

I posted this theory with a lot less detail a while ago. I agree with this, I think. https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/threads/wado-ichimonji-was-never-kuinas-sword.11355/

The family is supposed to originally be from Ringo. They have the tradition that a sword is made for you at birth, you carry it with you through life, and it's buried with you when you die. If Zoro and Kuina are both descendants of Ringo samurai that means if Wado actually was Kuina's sword, it would have been buried with her. Koushirou wouldn't have let Zoro take it.

She also never actually says the sword belongs to her. She just takes it from the main building and Zoro assumes it's hers and that's how he refers to it from then on.

Is it confirmed which one is the main family, and which one is the branch family? For all we know, Ryuma was from the branch family. Also, if Zoro was a main family descendant, why was he given his father's last name? That would be a big no in Japanese culture to have the main families heir, take a different surname, unless the surname taken was of a higher status.

Authors love to do things like having the branch family surpass the main family.
