Black Scroll is a Key Item in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It is simply a lore note that explains about the Black Mortal Blade that Genichiro wields.
Black Scroll Usage
- It is simply a lore note that explains about the Black Mortal Blade that Genichiro/Owl wields.
How to Find Black Scroll
- Can be found in a chest Outside of Isshin's Tower after Ashina Castle after defeating Corrupted Monk the first time.
Black Scroll Notes & Tips
- The Black Blade is theorized to be an homage to the legendary Black Blade of Muramasa.
- Since the blade opens a gateway to the underworld, it may explain why Isshin appears out of Genichiro when used.
- In the final cutscene of the Shura ending, Wolf (Sekiro) can be seen holding the Open Gate alongside with the Mortal Blade.

Chain of events: Tomoe couldn't get the red Mortal Blade from Senpou ==> She finds the black Mortal Blade somehow, somewhere ==> She reaches and returns from the Divine Realm ==> Tomoe assists with Takeru's immortal severance/beheading ==> She entrusts Genichiro with the black Mortal Blade, asking him to hide it ==> Tomoe out of the picture (either leaves for another land in secret or more likely commits suicide out of grief) ==> Sekiro defeats Genichiro ==> Genichiro exhumes the black Mortal Blade from where he hid it. Remember that the events of Sekiro take place just over a day, so the only way Genichiro could have gotten 'Open Gate' so quickly is that he knew where it was hidden, meaning it was entrusted to him.

My question is did Genichiro loot the black mortal blade from Owl's corpse after his death or did owl kill Genichiro and take take it while we were fighting the last two bosses in the shura ending?

Kind of wish they’d put a little more exposition into how Genichiro acquired it (or how Sekiro acquires it in the Shura ending), but maybe some future DLC will do just that. Otherwise it feels like an overly convenient out for the endings, especially if you hadn’t found the Black Scroll.
