All You Need To Know About Zoro Swords
One Piece is the home to several badass anime characters. One such character is the renowned swordsman Roronoa Zoro. In this article, we will be giving a brief description of Zoro swords.
Yubashiri — Ipponmatsu family’s treasure
Yubashiri is one of the 50 skillful grade swords， and also is one of my favorites. It was given to Zoro as a gift by the Ipponmatsu after seeing his sword skills. Later on, during the Enies Lobby Arc, this sword was destroyed. It turned into a rusty mess after an encounter with a marine captain named “Shu” who had the devil fruit power to cause rust.
Sandai Kitetsu — Zoro’s Cursed Sword
Sandai Kitetsu is another of the swords Zoro obtained from Ipponmatsu, a shop owner in Loguetown. It is one of the grade blades. It is a cursed sword that is fabled to take the life of its own wielder. Therefore, nobody ever dares to hold, or even sell, them. However, only a select few people with extreme luck can overcome this curse, and it was Zoro in this case. Zoro bet his arm to find out if he could overcome the curse and win.
Unnamed Dual Katanas
In the beginning, Zoro did not have any Meito swords. He was using regular swords that get broken easily. These unnamed dual katana were forged by Shimotsuki Kozaburo, a legendary swordsmith who has crafted two great-grade swords. Zoro received these katanas from him during his childhood as they were acquainted with each other. Shimotsuki Kozaburo was the father of Zoro’s master and the grandfather of his deceased childhood rival, Kuina.
Shusui — Wano Legend’s Blade
Shusui is a very powerful obsidian black blade that belongs to the 21 great-grade swords. Ryuma from the Wano kingdom originally wielded this sword. Gecko Moria stole this sword along with Ryuma’s body in order to create a zombie. Later, after an intense showdown with Ryuma’s zombie, Ryuma handed Shusui to Zoro as a prize for defeating him. However, during the Wano arc, it was stolen once again and returned to the grave of the original wielder, Ryuma. Zoro let it be and replaced it with Enma.
Wado Ichimonji — First Grade Blade Of Zoro
Wado Ichimonji was one of the first swords Zoro ever used. After his childhood rival, Kuina’s death, it was handed to Zoro. It is a great-grade sword that didn’t break after Zoro’s fight with Mihawk, showing the quality of the sword. Whereas, the rest of his swords were broken during the fight. The legendary blacksmith from Wano, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, forged this masterpiece.
Enma — Latest Sword Of Zoro
Enma is the most recent sword that Zoro acquired in the land of Wano. It is one of the twenty-one great-grade swords. The legendary samurai, Oden, wielded this blade before his death. Later on, as compensation for returning Ryuma’s sword to his grave, Oden’s daughter gave Zoro this legendary blade. Enma is a special sword that draws a massive amount of Busoshoku Haki from its wielder. This is why Zoro had trouble wielding this sword at first. However, he mastered it very quickly.
