In ONE PIECE Chapter 1117, it seems that Saint Nasujuro will recognize Zoro’s sword as a Kitetsu. But what could this recognition mean? Let’s delve into this topic.

Recognizing Kitetsu

In Chapter 1117, Saint Nasujuro somehow ascends to the Lab Phase and attempts to cut the Sunny, aiming to prevent the Straw Hats from escaping. While this is intriguing in itself and will be explored in another article, the focus here is on how Saint Nasujuro recognizes Zoro’s sword as a Kitetsu during their confrontation.

Zoro and Jinbei step in to stop Nasujuro from cutting the Sunny, leading to a clash where Nasujuro identifies Zoro’s sword as a Kitetsu during a blade lock. This recognition leads to an intense exchange of Conqueror’s Haki, sending both combatants flying, though Zoro is caught by Jinbei, preventing him from being blown too far.

But how did Nasujuro recognize the sword as a Kitetsu? During the Wano arc, when Zoro saw the Nidai Kitetsu that Luffy had taken, he quickly recognized it as a quality blade but didn’t immediately identify it as a Kitetsu. This suggests that Kitetsu blades might possess a unique “aura” or “presence,” which could be why they are considered “cursed blades.”

It seems that Nasujuro, during the clash, might have strongly sensed this presence from Zoro’s Kitetsu, leading to his recognition. Zoro, having learned from Shimotsuki Kozaburo, likely understands that swords have personalities or “sword spirits,” and Nasujuro might have sensed this spirit from Zoro’s Kitetsu.

While swords like Enma have shown clear signs of possessing a will of their own, the Sandai Kitetsu hasn’t displayed such traits as prominently yet. However, it’s possible that the sword’s true nature might be revealed in the upcoming chapters, especially in its clash with a blade potentially linked to the legendary Kotetsu line.

Nasujuro’s ability to recognize the “life force” of a blade could indicate a special power, possibly tied to his knowledge of the Kitetsu and Kotetsu swords. Could Nasujuro actually be connected to these legendary swordsmiths?
