Trunks and his sword -- a miscalculation on Cold's part

[ahill1]

So it seems to be common sense here that the sword was NOT the reason for Freeza's death as per his exchange with Cold. But some people seem to think that because Cold outted "You can't defeat ME with this sword!!!" and that Trunks stopped the sword swiftly adding "another miscalculation", the miscalculation Trunks was referring to is in regards to the sword being needed to defeat Cold, NOT Freeza.

What do you think?

How wasn't the sword the reason for Freeza's death? Trunks literally used it to cut him in half.

The miscalculation was that Cold believed all of Trunks' power derivated from the sword, what clearly wasn't the case. To quote Trunks in Steve Simmons' translation: "It takes more than just the sword, evidently".

The sword wasn’t the reason, it was the power that was wielding it..

Cold is clearly fighting delusions here considering he thinks the sword alone is what killed Freeza. The sword itself would have been useless unless the wielder was capable of taking down Freeza through their own power.

This isn’t rocket science.

The sword wasn’t the reason, it was the power that was wielding it..

I'd argue it was a bit of both. Trunks puts emphasis in how Goku could stop "The sword that sliced Freeza", and Daizenshuu 7's info on the sword explains it's no ordinary sword, expanding on what Cold said about it being a refined sword. Sure, Kuririn swinging the sword wouldn't have one shoted Freeza, but neither would Trunks' fists.

Cold is AOC from space.
