Future Events Which black blade will Zoro forge first?

[Signman77]

I think more than when (It'll be against Mihawk imo) an interesting question is which will he forge first?
Enma, the strongest, Wado Ichimonji, the one of the promise, or Sandai Kitetsu?
I think wado ichimonji is the most likely, but Sandai Kitetsu is very shōnen answer and Oda might surprise us.
It's basically a cursed sword that invested in Zoro stocks early on in the series (we know swords and especially cursed swords have will or residual of will).
Or maybe both. The one I see as least likely is Enma. I expect by the end of the series he will have 3 black blades and the undisputed WSS from any era.

 

[NikaInParis]

All three at the same time

 

[Blazing Lion]

I think Enma was hinted at so it might be forged first.

 

[Topi Jerami]

The one he uses to low diff Admiral Akainu Sakazuki

 

[Ice devil slayer]

Enma

 

[Blazing Lion]

Sandai will become black blade last and it will be the strongest black blade and it will show how an unknown sword rose to the very top just like Zoro a no name from East Blue became the WSS of all time. Sandai will be the strongest showing that you dont need a special swordsmith (relatively) compared to Shodai. While Wado was from Kuina and Kyoshiro and Enma from Hiyori, Sandai is what fits perfectly with Zoro. At least that is what I want.
Either they all become black blade at the same time and that is against Mihawk or they become one by one in which Enma, Wado and Sandai is my preferred order. Although Wado becoming black when Zoro beats Mihawk as a fulfillment of his promise would fit better narratively.

So saving the best for last? Haven't thought about it

 

[Garp the Fist]

I would rather it be Wano, but I think Enma.

Enma’s the one where Oda specifically said it would become a Supreme grade if it becomes black, which he didn't do for the others.

 

[bennbeckman]

Would love for it to be the Wado but prolly will be Enma

 

[Heart pirate]

Do the sword have different requirements? If he can blacken one I’d think he’d be able to do all. That or we’re getting the same PU 3 times

I am not sure the raise in rank means that it will be upgraded to Supreme Grade in rank. The raise probably means that Enma will be a black blade which is above Supreme Grade. The craftsmanship ranks are already set and it doesnt change when the blade is forged into a black blade.

I think Oden’s dad explicitly said that it would become a supreme grade but i cant get the chapter to hand

Wado is definitely the sword he values most. And I'd guess he also unconsciously pours more haki into it than into the other. With Enma controlled, he'll definitely still do that.

Also I liked Shusui more than Enma and hoped he'd get it back after the fight.

I think lowkey Shusui is the "strongest" sword he ever had. It was going easy on him because he's ryuma descendant. That's my headcanon at least.
But narratively it's tied with Wano, it returned to the country when the country was freed, almost as if it protects it.

Ι think it is pretty much confirmed that all three will raise in rank

 

[nik87]

All 3 at the same time.

nope Oda said its rank will increase not that its grade will increase/change, and as we have been told in each grade the swords are ranked from strongest to weakest; e.g., Yoru is the strongest of the 12, which is why it's ranked 1st

 

[Kishido]

Wado

 

[Sbinotto]

All 3 at the same time, this will make Zoro the strongest swordsman of all time

 

[nik87]

this will make Zoro the strongest of all time

Corrected it.
