It would mean that Enma is technically a grade better than Shusui, the Shusui only being O Wazamono because it was blackened. This would explain why Enma is stronger, despite also being O Wazamono. Enma reached O Wazamono grade before being blackened and is actually a Saijo O Wazamono grade when blackened.
Zoro's Strongest Swords in One Piece - Wado Ichimonji, Shusui, and Enma. Zoro has been wielding a sword since time immemorial, and he has owned a fair share of them. The strongest of these swords are the Wado Ichimonji, Shusui, and Enma.
Enma is the strongest sword possessed by Zoro of the Straw Hat Pirates right now. What is Zoro's weakest sword? Sandai Kitetsu has to be the weakest sword Zoro has used until now in the One Piece manga and anime.
Nonetheless, those few minutes at the peak of his power were more than enough for him to defeat King, all thanks to Enma. It goes without saying that Oden's beloved Enma is a majestic sword that not everyone can wield in combat, however, it makes the strong personalities, such as Zoro and Oden, even stronger.
Enma is one of the 21 Great Grade swords. But not the strongest. The strongest sword in One Piece is Kokuto Yoru (meaning Black Blade: Night), which is one of the 12 Supreme Grade swords, the highest quality in the One Piece world, currently owned by Dracule Mihawk, the strongest swordsman in the world.
Being of the lowest grade of the three swords, Sandai Kitetsu is the weakest of all the Kitetsu swords. Its name also indicates it was the last of the three to be made. The panel of Zoro keeping Sandai Kitetsu in the manga is extremely similar to that of Zoro keeping Enma.
It would mean that Enma is technically a grade better than Shusui, the Shusui only being O Wazamono because it was blackened. This would explain why Enma is stronger, despite also being O Wazamono. Enma reached O Wazamono grade before being blackened and is actually a Saijo O Wazamono grade when blackened.
Zoro would be alot weaker without enma and that's fine I don't understand how some people see it as a bad thing - enma is only an op sword if the weilder has the haki and skill to use it which Zoro does and an extremely few do or ever will.
Although he did fight Kaido and even managed to earn his praise, which is quite impressive, it was pretty clear that Zoro wasn't anywhere close to him in terms of either power or skill. That in itself is a big reason why Zoro would never have killed Kaido. For now, Zoro is levels below his Captain, Monkey D.
Supreme Grade Blades (Saijō Ō Wazamono)
The Supreme Grade Blades are the highest quality swords in existence in the One Piece world. There are only twelve Supreme Grade swords in One Piece. As a result, consider these blades like a special edition of swords, which are extremely rare.
Wado Ichimonji has been Zoro's most iconic weapon since day one. Another one of the 21 Great Grade Meito swords, the sword has become synonymous with the Straw Hat swordsman, coming in handy throughout his many difficult battles.
The sword then replaced Zoro's Yubashiri which was destroyed by Marine Captain Shu at Enies Lobby. It was then stolen by Gyukimaru and returned to Ryuma's grave. After that, Zoro agreed to leave Shusui behind to replace it for the offered Enma by Kozuki Hiyori.
Shimotsuki Ryuma was a legendary, world-famous samurai hailing from the Shimotsuki Family of Wano Country, who lived during Wano's "Country of Gold" era centuries ago. He was revered for his mastery of swordsmanship that earned him the title Sword God, as well as his feat of slaying a dragon.
According to Onimaru, Ryuma had many legends and through countless fights, he blackened his blade. While he had many legends, he came to be known worldwide for slaying a dragon in a single strike over the Flower Capital. This feat immortalized him and, after he died, he came to be worshipped as the God of the Blade.
Points: Zoro 1, Law 0 Devil Fruit Roronoa Zoro is a very powerful character. He is known as one of the most powerful characters in the series and one of the series' best swordsmen; he is, by all means, probably going to surpass even Mihawk in the future.
3 Roronoa Zoro, Wielder Of Enma (Potential)
While the sword is certainly not a Supreme Grade sword yet, it also hasn't blackened. According to Kozuki Sukiyaki, a sword's rank increases once it blackens. As such, this sword can eventually turn into a Supreme Grade Weapon as well.
Zoro prefers to place Wado Ichimonji in his mouth when using his Three Sword Style, though prior to the timeskip, he uses it when using his One Sword Style in some battles. After the timeskip, he appears to favor Shusui when using his One Sword Style.
Mihawk's sword, Yoru, has not only become a Black Blade but is also stated to be the strongest blade of all, even surpassing Ryuma's Shusui.
Rayleigh is much stronger than Zoro right now. It`s strange that Law is stronger than Zoro, but for now, Law certainly surpasses him. Like many of the characters on this list, Shanks is not a traditional swordsman and he doesn`t seem familiar with a blade like Mihawk, but is believed to be stronger than Mihawk.
He mainly fights with one sword when not fighting seriously or when he is using a specialized cutting technique. Early in the series (when Sham stole two of his swords and Zoro had to fight him and Buchi with just one), Zoro himself claims that he is "not that good at one-sword techniques".
The legendary Wado Ichimonji has been part of Zoro's sword collection since day one. It belongs to the 21 Great Grade Meito (21 Great Grade Swords). This sword was previously supposed to be passed down to Zoro's childhood friend Kuina, a girl who defeated him several times at the dojo.
Wado Ichimonji
Zoro's first-ever named sword is already of great quality. Wado Ichimonji is one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, which is only inferior to the Supreme Grade Sword. It was forged by the legendary Shimotzuki Kozaburo, who also forged Enma, and was handed down to his descendants including Kuina.
