Forum:Someone explain Enma vs Shusui?

In One Piece we've learned to rate swords by their quality as Meito graded swords. Mihawk and Whitebeard both had swords in the top Meito class, the best 10 swords in the world, and we knew this was because their swords were the strongest in the world.

So why is Zoro suddenly so much stronger with Enma? It's the same Meito grade as Shusui. It should be a sidegrade, or somewhat close in power, and not this overwhelming upgrade like it's being presented. I no longer understand what the different sword grades mean anymore.

Can someone explain why two swords of the same meito class could be so different in power? Is the meito class a flawed indicator of strength, and it was just coincidence that WB and Mihawk both have swords in the top 10 Meito class? Blaisem (talk) 04:20, September 18, 2019 (UTC)
