The Meaning Behind the Combination of Saint Nasujurou, Bako, and the First Kitetsu | Slashes That Only Cut and Freeze What They Want?
Slashes That Only Cut and Freeze What They Want?
The Pacifista MK-III units took direct hits from Saint Nasujurou’s slashes, yet according to Navy communications, only parts of them were frozen and stopped functioning… There’s a saying that true swordsmen only cut what they want to cut and leave uncut what they don’t. It seems that Saint Nasujurou might possess this ability.
Whether this is a testament to his skill as a swordsman or a manifestation of Bako’s abilities as a ghost, it seems that Saint Nasujurou has the power to freeze only the parts he slashes without inflicting physical damage… The idea is that his blade can pass through, leaving no visible injury while freezing the area it touches.
Given this, the question arises: What is the source of the freezing energy? As I’ve speculated before, it could be an extension of Bako’s abilities in its awakened form, or perhaps Saint Nasujurou uses a sword style that is the polar opposite of the Foxfire Style employed by Kin’emon and Zoro…
Personally, I think it’s swordsmanship. The principles behind the Foxfire Style’s ability to generate fire haven’t been explained, but if that’s possible, then it’s plausible to imagine a style that allows one to imbue their slashes with freezing energy…
Just as Saint Saturn uses magic circles, the Five Elders seem to possess mysterious powers. Haki could be a natural force that interacts with the environment to produce effects akin to magic.
If that’s the case, then the techniques of the Foxfire Style make sense… I believe that Saint Nasujurou has only revealed a fraction of his true power, and the combination of Bako and the First Kitetsu is what makes him the monstrous figure he appears to be…
This concludes the introduction of the article. Thank you very much for reading until the end!
