The Secret To Forging A Black Blade Is...

[@karma1507]

So basically to make a black blade, you have to treat your (cursed) sword like an extension of yourself rather than just a weapon.

[@KingKosuu]

Yes

[@dex7891]

Quick yap session but I also think it’s a similar method to what Joyboy did with storing his haki but only the one who bent the blade to their will can use it to its full potential. What I found interesting was what Dorry said when Joyboy haki was released. “Was that stronger than Red Hair’s? There was no hostility to it”. The second sentence is what I found interesting. Even before Dorry said that, we knew Shanks had “trouble” controlling his powerful CoC and there was hostility to it. We’ve seen before that Shanks even knocks out his allies like in chapter 1055. We always thought Shanks’ conquerors was just too much to control but what Joyboy did changes things. He was able to release conquers on par, arguably even stronger than Shanks’ but there was no hostility to it for Emet’s allies and it only knocked out those it was intended to knockout. Assuming Mihawk has conquerors, I think the control he has over it will be highlighted. There will be no hostility to it for those he doesn’t intended to affect his CoC with. Almost reminds he of the breath of all things. It only harms those it intended to harm. With the little we’ve seen from him, we already know he’s all about precision.

[@KingKosuu]

I hear this, I’ve used the shanks hostility thing before when arguing why Mihawk is stronger than shanks. Shanks can’t control his haki as well as Mihawk so it’s not as precise🤔

[@XangoFwet]

@@KingKosuui agree with this.

[@snowboundwhale6860]

It's interesting that Shanks has an issue with his CoC knocking out his weaker allies given how Rayleigh trained Luffy in CoC with a specific goal of getting him to a point where he can use it without affecting his allies.

The Agenda piece The agenda piece is Real - White mustache

[@pieflip2414]

The secret is Black Paint and then put some Haki on it for combat😊 no one would tell the difference 😂😂😂

[@XangoFwet]

Well thats understandable. Creating a black blade should essentially come out of the principle of making the Blade the extension of oneself both figuratively and literally. I would like to add-on that it’s not just knowing what you want and having the will to carry out but also knowing the blade and what THE BLADE WANTS; likely via the breath/voice of all things to be able to “hear” what the blade is trying to say. After that is known, Haki itself can become a vehicle to assimilate both the Desire of the Blade and the Desire of Oneself into one cohesive unit. Therefore when Haki is put onto a Blade permanently, it is because the Haki of the blade and the Haki of the User are one and the same.

Za painta! is one of the strongest attacks in the series. Mihawk is the Goat🐐 fr

[@iliebalica4012]

I think you need to give up youre coqueerors haki and give it to youre blade then it gets Black, but if you fail it youre soul gets trapped in it and it becomes a cursed blade

[@WolfX48]

I also have this theory for all while regarding the black blade, now I do believe that any blade can be black. I also belief that any blade can be curse, in the sense that something significant must have happen in connection to the blade to make it curse. Example Wado Ichimonji, I think it is curse although not officially confirm yet. I think that when Kuina died it became curse, maybe her spirit interacted with it or something. Now turning black I do feel Haki is involve in the process after-all just looking at Zoro current progression path it's clear Haki is a big factor in becoming the best swordsmen. But I feel it's more then just becoming very skilled with the blade and power, in a sense I think the black blade is created by using all your Haki and storing it in the blade itself. Essentially offering your will or life to the blade and letting it decide what's. And in combat the benefits are sky rocket, you will be basically fighting as a single entity. The blade chooses your movements in what and when you do, something like ultra instinct in DB. It could also explain why someone like Mihawk always refer to his blade as letting it decided and he just doesn't have Haki flowing out all over the place( Yes I do believe he has COC) similar to other top tiers. It cause rather then projecting the Haki in a more outward fashion its more concentrated and focus into a single blade.

[@crocoboi7936]

Wado ichimonji means: Straight Line through the Path of Harmony. I’ve heard a theory that the blades curse is what makes zoro bad with directions.

[@galaxtus48gaming43]

Imagine if you had to turn your armament haki into a black paint like substance and then paint your blade with it😂

[@KingKosuu]

LMFAOOOOOOO

[@WonderofU95]

Luffy kinda did it when he used haki to coat a tree branch into a baseball bat to send Saturn's bombs back. Granted it was just some gear 5 shenanigans but if it your comment ended up being the case for black blades. That'd be hilarious 😂

[@noxkurosaki4213]

The best way to troll both Mihawk fans and haters. It will be so funny 😂

[@newt2120]

@@WonderofU95but its not permanent. black blades are permanent. i think it has to do with killing another advanced haki user using a haki coated blade to make it permanent. thats just my theory

[@calmconflict]

Ah yes mihawk the king of statements

[@isabelpage5950]

Oda says Mihawk is stronger hundreds of times: The fanbase sleeps Oda says he's more skilled once: "Oda has confirmed Mihawk is only more skilled, Shanks one-shots!" Also, Whitebeard did have a black blade.

[@JefeElliott]

To sum it up, Blades are Pokémon

[@nobody42071]

5:10 Purely speculative then. I also don’t remember Yoru and Shusui being cursed blades 👀. The only cursed blades in the story are Enma, the Kitetsus and Law’s sword

[@filipe_paixao]

So... the FACT Mihawk is the strongest of all swordsman... We als know he got the best skill in the world + strongest Blade in the world + only 1 capable of creating a black blade in world. This 3 together means everyone else will alwayd be at at weapons disadvantage, skill disadvantage... and will also have an extra unknown disadvantage (probably synchronicity betwen Yoru and Mihawk). Crazy. This is without even considering his observation stuff (hawk eyes who can see power/potential, Clairvoyant, rival of the killer of observation). Or the fact he has a "perfect balance of strong and gentle blade style" Strong blade = raw stats Gentle blade = skill Which logically... If Mihawk's Strong blade = Mihawk's gentle blade... Then world's most skilled = equally as powerful raw stats 💀 If Mihawk also gets conquerors finally confirmed later.... He might just be #1 in verse (top 3 at worse if we include Joy Boy or unknow characters)

[@corterfy]

Yo what is that backround music in the beginning that u always use in ur videos

[@KingKosuu]

I have a playlist of OST’s in my playlist section. My main OST’s are from Yu-gi oh falsebound

[@Deode-d4h]

My idea of creating a Black Blade is somewhat similar, I just use Bleach terms. It's basically Zanpakuto and more specifically Bankai, that's what a Black Blade is. Black Blade is Bankai, where the user has to actually communicate with their sword in a similar way Zoro does with his swords, materialize its will, and subjugate it. Although the swords in One Piece don't literally talk, they can communicate in their own weird way like when Zoro made that bet with Sandai Kitetsu, realized how much of a problem child it is in Whiskey Peak, when Zoro learned of Shusui's potential in the Oars fight, and when Zoro started training with Enma. The whole "materialize the sword's will" can explain that whole Grim Reaper deal at the end of the King fight where it appeared to Zoro, but because Zoro didn't have the strength left to fight it, he didn't attain "Bankai," the Black Blade for possibly Enma. Zoro even stated that he couldn't really move in that moment, which could mean a few things, although Zoro can utilize some of Enma's power, he isn't strong enough yet to subjugate the sword's will which is why Zoro couldn't move, he couldn't fight against it, and that Zoro for now is stuck with Enma's "Shikai" form. That's the difference between Ryuma, Mihawk, and Zoro, they all probably have their own conversations with their swords which starts the whole process. Shanks, Roger, and Whitebeard probably don't do something like that because they rely on and utilize something else. For Shanks and Roger it's more on their Haki that they view the source of their power, but not the sword, the sword is a beloved companion but is more an extension to which their Haki can flow into rather than harmonize with the sword's will. For Whitebeard, he has his Devil Fruit and Haki as well, making his naginata a vessel to impart those two powers into rather than using the naginata itself. Basically, Shanks, Roger, and Whitebeard would be the "pre-awakening Kenpachi's" of One Piece, very powerful people using swords without understanding the sword.

[@umbralowl]

I have a feeling there are 3 conditions 1. "Overcoming your swords will" Like Zoro has done with with Enma. 2. You must have Conquerors Haki and 3. Do what we saw Joyboy do with the Robot in EggHead, You must infuse your Conquerors Haki into the Sword.

[@KingKosuu]

Okay so similar to what I’m saying, but conquerors haki🤔 I see I see

[@umbralowl]

@@KingKosuu Yeah, When I heard the part of the video that only ryuma can bring out shusui's power and the same thing with Mihawk and Yoru I wholeheartedly agree with that and I think it has to do with them infusing the blade not just with haki but with conquerors.

[@ΚρανίΩ]

mihawk has not yet shown any conquerer's and its been stated that he and crocodile have haki, both forms and i say both because conquerer's was not confirmed in the civre card sbs or idk one of those (directed by oda) until he proves otherwise, he has no conquerer's

[@isabelpage5950]

Mihawk isn't confirmed as a Conqueror yet, same as Garp and some Admirals.

[@umbralowl]

@@isabelpage5950 True and before Wano Zoro wasn't either.

[@undo9498]

roger shanks oden and whitebeard infused conqueiors into their blade meanwhile with mihawk its pure mastered armament

[@animeadam7282]

I think mihawk wouldn't have used the words "every weapon can be turned into a black blade" if it was only applying to cursed swords. I think he he means it when he says every blade can be a black blade if you master it.

[@nathanwelling8948]

I think the reason Oden wasn't able to create the green flames is because he wasn't able to fully master Enma and bring out it's true potential. I believe this is because Zoro is a direct descendant of Kozaburo and has a goal that somewhat aligns with Enma's personality.

[@KingKosuu]

Mhmmmmmmmmm, cook

[@nathanwelling8948]

@KingKosuu Thus making his progress with Enma very rapid, especially when he taps into KOH. This progress with Enma bleeds over to the other blades, forcing them or helping them to align with Enma's own goal, to reach the pinnacle of it's namesake. Wado Ighimonji means "a straight path" and Enma is self-explanatory these days. Wado Ichimonji likely aids Zoro in his growth due to both its name and its willingness to aid Zoro. This combination will allow Zoro to grow exponentially. Side Note: This is the main reason why I say Zoro will always be a major threat to anyone he faces now.

[@kollen5952]

probably it is not so big of a thing, just defeat the soul of your sword and thats it. Mihawk is the klebauterman of yoru, a soul made flesh by their own will to find a worthy swordman. Shanks is not worthy anymore since he is not a swordman since lost his arm. Yoru is mihawk and zoro will wield it in elbaf when mihawk loses

[@ItachiUchiha_1724]

First Mihawk>>>>>>>shanks But shanks>>>>>>>everyone else My theory based off of 2 facts told to us *all haki is invisible. *Mihawk said any blade can become a black blade meaning he knows the process and made yoru black. The idea of a black blade and haki must go hand in hand Its simply a mastery of haki never seen before (Maybe all types of haki must be mastered) Haki first and foremost is Will Armament Observation Utilize aspects of will to boost senses and the body with an invisible force Conquers is will itself being utilized in the world and on others will Adv.haki Takes it all beyond the norm. Now your armament is being controlled past the physical limit And Your senses are boosted beyond the physical limit Adv.Conquers is will itself made into an invisible but semi tangable force A swordsmans will and their blade is their life I do not fully think you need to be a master of all 3 haki types But you need a will capable of mastering and taming a blade to its peak A real Swordsmen treat their blades as their own body And once you can hone it you truly own it The info we have of yoru in a data book tells us yoru is the strongest and rank 1 in the supreme grade And Mihawk is the only one who can tame the blade I think the simple fact that swords have wills and they need to be tamed to be fully utilized Shows us that to make your blade black You need to treat it as part of your body Give it your senses Body will and life to the blade as you do your arms and legs In an ultimate tug of war The sword tests if you have the will the spirit and the strength to become one with your blade If you pass it becomes a black blade Granting it an umparalled hardness I do think this is haki But its haki with no active will Its actually Visible haki Anyone can see yoru is a black blade Even those that never knew of haki at all How? Its a piece of mihawk he always has his will with him so will his blade But no active haki is in it As we saw with zoro and Shusui zoro would have killed Pizzaru at saboady I think mihawk has done this since he was 20 years old As we saw him at age 21 at rogers execution A black blade is a blade you have given everything and tamed it to make Your right arm Ryuma tells us you dont need to be a adv. Observation Adv. Ryou and adv.conquers haki user to make a black blade But I dont believe ryuma made his blade black I think he found it But if not then he gave everything to his blade And even 400 years after he died of old age His blade not actively havibg haki is still black

[@weathermangohanssj4]

Until we're shown otherwise I'm going to assume you overcome a stronger Haki with sword skill. As in a stonger will compacts the user's Haki into the blade staining it black and adding more weight to the blade.

[@undo9498]

isnt ashura zoros conqueior haki ? somenthing like shanks creating a shockwave with conqueiors or luffy bending this to his will thanks to gear 5 and the overflowing conqueiors haki

[@ABthenC]

Great commentary, but the super smudgy/choppy interpolation is throwing me off. Is there a reason so many creators use this effect?

[@KingKosuu]

[@michaelwilliams4024]

Daz bones and s-hawk also have black blades

[@deealday]

You have to give up your conquerors haki to get a black blade

[@deealday]

That’s why other top tiers don’t have it because only a true swordsman would ever

[@armandohhh]

I think only #1 swordsman is capable of black blade. Just like how Ryuma was #1 of his timeline he was capable of black blade. Since Mihawk is #1 of current timeline only he’s capable of black blade.

[@KingKosuu]

I think it’s the creation of the black blade that makes them number one imo

[@kollen5952]

Mihawk is canonically weaker than Old Whitebeard while Shanks its stated to be equal. And in this case this isn't vague, Mihawk admitted WB was stronger by saying there was a gap between them. Can you imagine Marco sending Vista to stop Kaido? I can't see happening. It's like Katakuri sending Perospero to stop Kaido. If Mihawk was this strong why did he stalemate Vista? This was made by Oda. And don't tell me he was holding back, Mihawk acknowledged Vista strength and wanted to postpone the duel which means the fight would be mid diff at the very least. That title hardly matters when no one gives a shit about his title. Sucking from shank's balls doesnt work when the author has portraied both characters differently, currently shanks was just compared to the strongest character in the whole series

[@filipe_paixao]

​@@kollen5952Mihawk said he wanted to measure the gap (which can go both ways). Or in other interpretations, he said that he didn't believe Current White Beard wasn't as far from the world as everyone thought he was. Nothing about White Beard being stronger.

[@kollen5952]

@filipe_paixao WSS means nothing to Oda, only 3 characters in the whole series care about it ( mihawk, pre time skip zoro and vista ). Sword skills are irrelevant in the one piece world. Shanks got sword skills, same as Kaido having some Club skills and Whitebeard being skilled at using his Naginata. All top tiers who use weapons are skilled with them. " sword skills equals to overall strength" It doesn´t. You can be a great Swordsman and lack in other departments i.e. Stamina,Haki etc. The marine officer in the bountie's reveal says mihawk is the strongest swordman and explains what he means by it : " mihawk has greater sword skills than even the red hair, mihawk is the wws. ". ITS been told straight away to us: shanks conquerors is just straight away compared to Joyboy's , the best feat in the series ( beating 5 gorosei at the same time ). Thats the author saying shanks can do shit pretty far from the swordmanship world. Zoro is not looking at the joyboy's conquerors blast thinking " wow thats me end of the series " . No. Thats luffy end of the series. Zoro only cares about fighting with his swords Shanks can beat mihawk without a sword? Joyboy beat all 5 gorosei without a sword. So can shanks. Shanks fights outside the realm of swordmanship.

[@filipe_paixao]

@kollen5952 you are mis constructing some of the things. First, haki is part of Swordsmanship. And characters like Rayleigh, Shanks, Roger and Oden are all Swordsman. Second, the Marine didn't prove the title of "strongest swordsman" is about sword skill. He specifically said: "Mihawk is the most skilled in the world. Above even Shanks" If you want to accept those words ->>> this means that not only is Mihawk the "Strongest Swordsman" but he also is the "most skilled". Also, Mihawk title as the "STRONGEST swordsman" is given through all the types of different title drops. The first time it appears: -->> the manga itself gives a Box with his title. This is different from Kaido's introduction. In Kaido's case... the narrator says: "It is RUMORED he is the strongest creative alive" Mihawk is simply the STRONGEST. besides the literal title box, characters also call him the strongest. And he is stated in his vivre card: --->>>> "He is the Strongest in Name And ACTUALITY" Which means he not only has the title, but is in fact the Strongest Swordsman. ------------ Let me give a quick run down on the things Mihawk is the #1 in the world: -> Mihawk is the only character who was able to Permanently turn his Blade Black in the past hundreds of years. -> he has the strongest Blade in the World -> he is the most skilled in the world -> he is the strongest swordsman in the world These are 4 things Mihawk is #1 in the world in. Nobody else got as many as him. Also, you were mentioning about Skill not being a factor in One Piece? 💀 Mihawk entire speech to Zoro about skill went right through your head? Haki control and its usage in Swordsmanship is part of Skill to. But if for whatever reason you didn't want to hear that. Mihawk is stated to have: --->> "a perfect balance between Strong and Gentle blade style" Strong Blade style being focused on raw stats/power And gentle blade style being focused on skill. So.. what now? He is the Most skilled in the world. (The focus of Gentle blade style). But he doesn't even especialize in it. His Strong blade style / raw sats & power is "perfectly balanced" /on par with his skill (which is the best in the world. 🤨 So, the "strongest swordsman" (in name and actuality), who is also the "most skilled in the world" (with raw stats/power perfectly on par with said skill), who is the only 1 capable of forging a black blade, who also possesses the Strongest Blade in the world... Is bellow a fellow weaker swordsman... 🙉 Bellow someone with less skill Bellow someone who cannot forge a black blade. Bellow someone with a weaker weapon. 💀 You see the problem? Mihawk is indeed stronger than Shanks and any other swordsman until they actually prove it otherwise. As Mihawk said to Zoro: --->>> "come fight me, I'm going to wait at the top" (Also stated in his vivre card that he is looking for a new rival stronger than shanks btw)
