The follows the will of it's owner.

I've been looking for an old piece of media and ran out of sources. Can someone help me find it please?

The only thing I can remember is one character walking up to another, possibly the MC, while he is forcefully swinging his blade through the branches of some sort of Weeping Tree without cutting them; This same character then says something about "the blade carrying/following/producing the will of its owner."

I don't know why this scene stuck with me for so long, but I'm writing for my DND campaign and would really like to find it again for some inspiration.

Zoro in one piece when he fights Mr1 in about episode 119 or so has a flashback where his master slashes a tree branch without cutting it, and tells him that a master swordsman cuts what he wants to cut, and doesn't cut what he doesn't want to cut. Could be that? Though I'd guess this is a lot of scenes in a lot of anime.
