Enma

Enma is a Meito that was once wielded by Kozuki Oden alongside his other sword, Ame no Habakiri, and is currently in the possession of Roronoa Zoro. It is the only weapon known to have harmed Kaido.

Appearance
Enma is a katana with a trefoil-shaped tsuba. Its hamon has a flame-like pattern.

Abilities


Being one of the 21 O Wazamono Swords, Enma is one of the most powerful katanas ever created, being considered by Hiyori to be a suitable replacement for Shusui, another one of the 21 O Wazamono swords. In the hands of Oden, it became the only weapon known to have ever harmed the nigh-invulnerable Kaido, a Yonko, giving him his only scar. True to Hiyori's words, Enma demonstrated power and sharpness far surpassing Shusui, as when Zoro tried to cut a tree he ended up cutting a whole cliff off. Tenguyama Hitetsu described its power as being able to cut through Hell itself.

The sword forces its user to release excessive amounts of Ryuo (Busoshoku Haki) causing unnecessarily large strikes. The amount of Ryuo released will cause an ordinary swordsman to collapse immediately.

Past
Sometime in the past, Enma was created by Shimotsuki Kozaburo.

The sword originally belonged to Kozuki Oden, who later used it to wound one of the Yonko, Kaido, giving him his only scar. After his death, it was passed onto his daughter, Kozuki Hiyori.

Wano Country Arc
After Hiyori begged Zoro to leave his stolen Shusui in its rightful place on Wano, she offered Enma as a replacement. Zoro agreed to Hiyori's proposal of leaving Shusui for Enma.

Trivia

 * "Enma" is the Japanese name for Yama, the Buddhist equivalent of the Hindu god named the same, part of various East Asian mythologies. He is a wrathful god serving as chief judge of the dead (deciding to which afterlife dead souls go), by extension presiding over the Narakas (or "Hells") and the cycle of reincarnation.
 * In Chapter 920 and Episode 893 a flashback of Oden is seen wielding a sword with a different tsuba. Whether this is a mistake or another sword is unknown.
 * On the cover of Chapter 937, Roronoa Zoro was seen reading a map featuring a sword and the word "Enma".
 * Enma is also the name of the shrine in the forest where Hiyori and Zoro end up in Chapter 950.
