TRUE AWAKENING OF ZORO

Being a huge fan of Zoro I have come up with one plausible theory.
Enjoy the read.

Zoro is holding one of the cursed sword the Kitetsu.
What does a Cursed sword mean ?
A cursed sword’s are swords in general which is not different from a normal sword,in terms of physical look.
But unlike normal swords which are mere tools,these sword posses spirit or a part of spirit,now not every swords having a spirit is cursed.
Cursed swords have spirit of demonic or evil nature and some also contains restriction which might cause its wielder harm.
As we all know Swords are made by skillfully swords maker.
If you guys notice not only in OP but other series also in real world Mythology Cursed swords are generally created by skilled and famous swords maker.
Making a sword requires lot of dedication,hardworking and spirit of the creator.Wait a sec !!
Did I just say spirit ??
Hmm yes spirit,the intent at which and for which the sword was made.
A bad intention or a violent intention will seal a demon spirit inside it.Seal doesn’t mean its sealed by some method its just that the demon spirit has given it a part of spirit for the intention of the swordmaker and give it power.
Now interms of Kitetsu’s swords its being called blood thirsty means that these swords were made with an intent to kill no matter who it is.
So once a swordsman have the sword with them,the sword will try to control them and when they can’t meet the requirement of the Sword the demon spirit inside it will bring them harm.
Zoro’s awakening.
Now Zoro is having one of the kitetsu,

Now here if you take a closer look at the sword,which Zoro used to attack Kuma at the last moment was Kitetsu,is it just a coincidence ?? That when Zoro was helpless he couldnt do much the last attack he used on Kuma,he was wielding Kitetsu.
Is it just a coincidence that Zoro used Asura after getting Shandai.

Now if you look at the part where Zoro says Demon Spirit !! “Kyuutouryuu ASURA”,here also if we recall Zoro has used all his attack and was having difficulty handling Kaku also time was running out,Kaku said something about Robin and something happened the Demonic Aura.

What i mean is Zoro has subconsciously asked for the power of the cursed sword couple of times.
What happened in 2 yrs of training with Mihawk ??
Zoro’s training made him a better swordsman but the main development was controlling the cursed sword.How he did it ??
Two possibilities.
1.Zoro said he knew the sword is cursed the moment he touched it.Which makes me believe the spirit inside the sword tried controlling Zoro but because as we all know Zoro has exceptional will power,the spirit couldnt do anything.But when Zoro gets weaker by getting beaten or suffers alot,it still tries to do it and Zoro awakens the true power of kitetsu in desperate situation.With his subsequent training with Mihawk i believe Mihawk had set some challenge for him for his final course or say as a test.Where Zoro awakened the true power of Kitetsu,now I believe just like Luffy self training of Six Months,Zoro did something similiar to understand the spirit of Kitetsu.And hence he cut his left eye to keep it closereason being Zoro uses his left hand to wield Kitetsu.
Blind with one eye of the side in which he weilds his Kitetsu kind of helps him ignore the sword while fighting,
and in a way sealing the blood thirsty nature of the sword.That way it will just be a normal Katana when Zoro is using it.
2. Second Possibility is Zoro wants to be WGS but without any help like DF or any special power,he believes in his own hardship,so when he awakened the Asura form,Mihawk might have noticed something unnatural in Zoro’s fight,And he explained to him about it,hence sealing it in his left eye only to open it when in dire situation.
But Mihawk helped Zoro sealing it by keeping TWO RULES.
1.Zoro will only awaken it when he is not fighting for his cause that is to become WGS.
2.Zoro will only awaken it as a last resort when everything fails.
by setting these rules the spirit was sealed.

So next time if we see Zoro putting his Bandana and opening his left eye, Asura is coming back.
Now people who think Zoro’s left eye is just an injury.
Have you noticed the Confidence level in Zoro after TS,
“Over the nine mountains and across the eight seas.over this earthly realm, thers’s nothing i cannot cut”-Zoro.

And is it just a coincidence that the sword shown here is Kitetsu,the dendrils are coming out of it,Its not CoA leaking or any kind of effect its the resistive nature of Kitetsu which is being engulfed by Zoro’s strong will or CoA.

  1. There’s is a possibility that zoro’s left eye cooopy the concept of doffy’s left eye… since straw hats also using abilities coming from his enemy just like sanji (sky walk/moon walk)

  2. WatashiWaGuruto

    After paying attention to the panel of “Shishi Sonson”
    it does not look like Sandai Kitetsu, it looks like W. Ichimonji

  3. Filipe Bondezan

    Wait but this sword wasn’t that sword that was destroied in Enies Lobby? He taked the samurais sword in thriller bark. It’s a great theory, really it’s a problability. I think he will take a long time until show that power, only if was with Kaidou or Big Mom

  4. WatashiWaGuruto : Watch the anime version zoro vs kuma fight the color is Sandai Kitetsu and Zoro using his left hand so it’s definitely Kitetsu

    Zorro6 : I love the theory about why Zoro cut his eye, you got the point and it’s quite interesting.
