Discussion Brook: will he get a new sword in Wano?

[Deleted member 169696]

New weapon? Which grade? Will someone forge it for him, will he take it from an enemy? What new powers could he get with the sword?

We know that his current blade was sharpened by the long-arm tribe and that Brook uses his sword in conjunction with his DF powers. He has been using this one weapon for a long long time and it does seem like it's a good quality weapon.

But since we're in Wano... I'd assume it'd only make sense if he gets an upgrade.

What are your thoughts?

It'd be cool if he did. Because his DF isn't exactly one I imagine can be upskilled or awakened.

With swords being left at a samurai's burial place, I guess Oda could make a gag joke with Brooke taking one and him being dead.

He could talk or control other ghosts. Plotdevice for a conversation pirateking and luffy etc.

I don't see him getting a new sword, but I can see him asking a Wano blacksmith to upgrade/sharpen what he currently has once more.

Well, Brook has himself stated a few times that he is a swordsman too and also that he's weak. Both pre and post time-skip. He does need some sort of an upgrade/power-up this arc.

So to me it doesn't sound too farfetched to say Brook will get a new sword in Wano. Even though cane swords aren't exactly what samurai would use.

Maybe Great Grade is a bit too much for someone like Brook, but seeing how Zoro is being set up to potentially make all of his swords black blades I would at least want the only other swordsman in the crew to have a Great Grade sword.

Maybe something that enhances his ice powers, sorta like other elemental swords.

I definitely agree, I just don't see him getting a new sword. The way the emphasis has been put on him combining his fruit abilities with his sword and him giving it it's own name, makes me think he's going to keep Soul Solid all the way to the series' end. I see it being upgraded, but not outright replaced.

I don't think Brook will awaken his df powers unless it is already awakened...and that is his astral form. I think he will probably just use his astral powers in more creative ways than we have seen in conjunction with his sword. The issue is his current weapon is only seen stabbing and slashing mostly at fodders. He fought the big mom's personal homies but that need more explanation. Maybe he had a better standing due to his dead powers reaonating with her soul powers.

He can use his music to change people's emotions as well as put them to sleep but what if his attacks are just not strong enough to do any real damage? This is where I also think a blacksmith will upgrade his current sword. Maybe Hitetsu will! Like tinker with it, make it able to slice fire like Kinemon lol. Also, currently the look really fits him. I'd hate to see his signature look destroyed from a lack of this weapon.

I've been asking for a Brooks vs Apoo battle for a while, looks like that is getting more realistic as we move closer.

A new sword for Brooks will be cool as hell... make him a badass, even though he doesnt have an as... (mandatory skull joke)

 

[Futomimi]

Cool idea. Maybe brooke and nami will be important in fight against big mom.

What if brook gets the other demon cutter / cursed blade. Shouldnt affect him as hes already dead.

Do you have to master Haki so the swords have effect, or would they drain the Haki of someone who can't even use it?

Anyway, I suppose it would also drain Brook's Haki...

I think it was said only leaving creatures can awaken haki and well you know Brook is already dead......... well it would be cool to see Brook with a famed katana

 

[Fox666]

Brook is already dead, but is living a second life, so I don't know...

 

[TitaniumOxide]

Man he hasn't learned haki while having lived so long on the seas is kind of disappointing. Even if part of that time was him not being able to find his body lol. I am for a new sword for Brook if it just replace the old blade so he gets to keep his signature look.
