Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Why is Shusui better than Wado Ichimonji?
Shusui is a higher grade (Legendary vs Epic) and a Black Blade. It simply has better stat scaling. However, Wado Ichimonji is faster.
Do I need to return it to Wano?
In the anime, Zoro returned Shusui to get Enma. In the game, you can usually keep both! In fact, having both is ideal for dual-wielding bonuses.
Does it glow?
Unlike Enma which has a purple aura or Yoru with green, Shusui has a unique dark/black trail effect when swung, representing its Black Blade nature.
