Powers & Abilities Why Zoro turning Enma into a blade blade symbolises surpassing Oden

#22
The way Hitestsu speaks is as if Enma is already close to becoming a Black Blade. From what we see about the Sword, it feeds off the haki of its wielder. Something it must have been doing with Oden for years. So Zoro turning Enma into a black blade would just be him completing what Oden had already been working on for years. So even if he does manage to turn Enma black, it will not mean he's surpassed Oden, as Oden helped with the process of turning Enma black.

Surprised that everyone is ok with Zoro making Enma black when whose to say that it was Odens own heavy lifting, countless battles and all, vs Zoro who'll get it with what? A couple fights? Haha what a hallow thing. Zoro piggybacking off of someone else's work. GG
Read OP. If turning a black blade just required adding on to the previous owner's use of it, then any random person who can coat weapons with haki could do it. Black blades are to do with skill level of the user who turns it back.

Lol basically what I said somewhere else.
Zoro is piggybacking off of someone else's work.

Zoro to Luffy is what Rayleigh was to Roger.

If Zoro role was being only the first mate/VC your point is quite valid no doubt.

But Zoro placement goes beyond Rayleigh.
One would need to consider the placement of right hand of the past PK plus the WSS.


A formula like the one used on wb who was the WSM but also an Emperor should be applied I think.
Both push him to be the strongest Emperor and rival to PK.

So the Z hating goons already have their card if Zoro makes Enma black?
:suresure:

" Zoro was just on time to make it black so he didn't surpass oden at all"

Cry me a river please.

:sadgrin:
No, it's a matter of simple deduction. Enma literally feeds off the Haki of the person who tries to use it. Absorbing and expending haki of it's own will. The sword didn't start off like that, as it is from the same Swordsmith who created Wado Ichimonji, and Wado does not possess that quality (Yet). The sword became that way through the many uses and battles Oden went through. Turning Enma black is just completing what Oden started.

Zoro will turn Wado Ichimonji black eventually, which will be of his own merit.

It's true though. The manga clearly states a sword turns black after it's been in enough battles. Enma is already a veteran weapon plus a magical sword that keeps absorbing haki. Turning it black is a team effort :goyea:
Zoro should turn Wado )which is as white as snow) black first. As far as we know Wado hasn't seen too many fights aside from the ones Zoro has put it through.:myman:

As you say it discharges the user's haki on its own will (unless you tame it) so it's not storing Oden's haki in the sword right now unless we are told otherwise later on.

That's not true. What Gyukkimaru said, was that Shisui was forged through Ryuuma's history of battle.

Headcanon after headcanon...
Black blades, the symbolical crowns for greatest swordsmen of all times, dont become black because of someone else.
Besides, Enma cant take any haki at all once the user has mastered it. It uses as much Haki as any other sword.
Zoro has already demonstrated that it isnt using any haki at all, go check back couple of chapters.

Yes, but what did Zoro do? He stopped it from expending his Haki, and was able to pull it back into his body. That tells us that when using Enma it's a constant battle between user and wielder. Enma tries to absorb and expend the Haki, while the user fights to keep their Haki. That means Haki is continuously pouring into Enma at all times while in use.

If turning a black blade is just about how many times you use haki on it over the years, then why will Zoro presumably be able to turn Wado black (by EoS) in less time than Oden used Enma in countless battles for? (He died aged 39)
I said Haki has to be strong, Strong enough to imprint on the black, and countless battles, That latter part is for sure, Shushui is the template that we know of.

Yeah, and "Haki so stronk Blade turns black" is nothing but pure headcannon as well. At least with my assessment it offers a valid and logical explanation on how one goes about turning a blade black.

No, you assesment doesnt offer anything because it is factually wrong.
Enma cannot take any haki from neither Oden nor Zoro because both have mastered it and stopped the side effect.

I see a lot headcanon here.

Facts are swords can have their own qualities and we already know that:

-Shushui is so strong that ate up the flying slashes of the two other swords that Zoro had ( thriller bark).

- Cursed blades that cause the death of the owner.



- Don't remember the name but Zoro had a sword according to him it wants to cut everything/everyone.

(Remember this a manga about a fantasy world)
And as we know each of these gimmicks were mastered by Zoro .
Enma Is just that another sword with a gimmick.

Whatever achievement with Enma Is Zoro own doing not Oden helping cuz he used Enma.

Nothing logical just headcanon.

Like I just said in a previous post. It's a constant battle between Enma and User over Haki. Enma tries to absorb it, and the user tries to keep it. That keeps Enma in a constant state of having Haki being poured into it. That's what it means to "Forged" a black blade. Just having extremely strong Haki, isn't forging shit.

None of his swords are valid if they become black cuz all were used previously.

So in a sense Oda has decided that the next WSS will not have a black blade made by himself.

Maybe there will be an arc where a blacksmith creates 3 new swords which ultimately will become black thanks to Zoro (only valid option).
