Yubashiri adalah katana panjang dengan pegangan hitam. Itu memiliki penjaga berbentuk salib dan selubung pernis hitam. Pisau itu sendiri dalam penampilan normal dan polanya adalah "midareba" atau pola yang tidak teratur. Itu dianggap sebagai pedang yang sangat ringan. Meskipun sebagian besar berwarna hitam, sarung dan pegangan keduanya memiliki desain emas yang tipis namun rumit pada mereka. [1] Riwayat [ ] The ji-nie can be fine and evenly distributed throughout the blade or concentrated in certain areas. Generally, a high-quality ji-nie is fine and uniform. Still, some styles are intentional, especially if a smith designed it to be rough and obvious. One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 90 Chapter 909 (p. 14) and Episode 892, Zoro is accused of robbing Ryuma's grave.

These three swords are highly important to Zoro’s fighting style and he has displayed impressive prowess with them in battles. With his incredible swordsmanship and iconic three-sword style, Zoro is undoubtedly one of the most formidable fighters in the world of One Piece. 4. Possibility of Another Sword in the Wano Arc As the “Wano Country” story arc unfolds in One Piece, fans have been speculating about the possibility of Zoro acquiring another sword in this arc. Although he currently wields three powerful blades, Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Enma, there is still a possibility that he might add another sword to his collection. As a skilled swordsman, Zoro is always on the lookout for stronger weapons to help him in battles. One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 91 Chapter 912 (p. 10) and Episode 897, Sukiyaki reveals that his sword is a Meito.After traveling through Whisky Peak, Little Garden, Drum Kingdom, Arabasta, Jaya, Skypiea, Long Ring Long Land and Water 7, the blade finally met its end at Enies Lobby, where it was rusted away by Shu in the battle against the Marines' captains and commanders on the Bridge of Hesitation, rendering the once reliable sword into an irrecoverable stub. [2] Ipponmatsu strongly dislikes Loguetown's Marines, holding them directly responsible for reducing the town's pirate population—and with it, much of his shop's customer base. In particular, he has dubbed Smoker a "monster", not only for his ruthless competence, but for his considerable Devil Fruit abilities. Nidai Kitetsu: Nidai Kitetsu is a sword that is one of the 21 swords in the Ô Wazamono category. It is part of the cursed swords created by Kitetsu along with the Shodai Kitetsu and the Sandai Kitetsu. It was forged by Kotetsu. Little is known about the Nidai Kitetsu and its abilities. However, this saber must also be powerful and resistant since it is part of the 21 O Wazamono. But that’s just who Zoro is. As a former Bounty Hunter, he was already pretty formidable. Now that he’s become one of the nine senior guards of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, he is infamous across the high seas for his prowess with blades. Couple that up with his Three-Sword style of combat, and he’s bested quite a lot of enemies already. Some of those enemies even hold legendary status in One Piece.

A jigane is strong ( tsuyoi, 強い) when the jihada (grain pattern) is very visible and has lots of ji-nie. Blades with a strong jigane are usually associated with the Soshu tradition. Yowai (Weak) As one of the masterpieces of the legendary Wano swordsmith, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, classified as one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, Wado Ichimonji is among the world's most powerful swords, second to Enma. Tashigi, a sword fanatic, described it as a magnificent katana of the highest caliber, not accepting the fact that such a famous blade was in the hands of a Bounty Hunter-turned Pirate, causing her to hunt Zoro. [4] More than anything, Wado Ichimonji holds a great deal of significance to Zoro, though he'd allow others to examine it, he refuses to ever give this blade up to anyone. One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 12 Chapter 100 (p. 10) and Episode 53, Tashigi declares to Zoro that she will take Wado Ichimonji from him. Polishing a Japanese sword is as complex as making it. The steel has a bit of a dark appearance, so a polisher must bring out all the details in the steel surface, including the jihada (grain pattern) and hamon (temperline pattern) while making a functional blade. A polisher also makes the sharp edge and refines its shape. The polish of the blade affects the appearance of the jigane.Being one of the thirty-two best katanas in the world (eleven Saijo Ô Wazamono and twenty-one Ô Wazamono), the Wadô Ichimonji is an extremely powerful blade, in the hands of a competent swordsman. He is extremely tough, and has a durable blade, as indicated by Mihawk, when he destroyed both Zoro’s swords and only Zoro resisted. Yubashiri was one of the fifty Ryo Wazamono grade sword. Roronoa Zoro obtained this sword for free from a sword shop owner.

Sukesan and Kakusan are a pair of katanas wielded by Kin’emon. Sukesan and Kakusan are very similar katanas. They have a rectangular tsuba and flame-patterned scabbards. The blades are used by Kin’emon with his “Fire Fox” sword style. Kin’emon uses the katana one at a time as well as dual wielding. Kin’emon has possessed Sukesan and Kakusan at least since he was 23 years old.Sesko, M. (2014, January 16). Sword-related Japanese Sayings . Markus Sesko. Retrieved May 23, 2023, from https://markussesko.com/2014/01/16/sword-related- japanese -sayings/ In Chapter 599, Zoro's Shusui was shown with a different sheath strongly resembling that of Trafalgar Law's nodachi, Kikoku. Although Oda did not write anything about it, it could be taken as a mistake as Zoro is then seen holding Shusui with its traditional sheath with no comments about the change. This error is fixed in the anime episode that adapts this scene from the manga. One Piece Manga and Anime — Vol. 11 Chapter 97 (p. 13) and Episode 49, Tashigi explains the ranking of the Kitetsu swords. After Kuina's death, the sword was in the possession of her father, Koushirou. Zoro declared to Koushirou that he will become the strongest swordsman in the world and asked for the sword. Koushirou accepted his request and passed on Wado Ichimonji to his second-best student. [2] Loguetown Arc [ ]

This also puts into question whether the amount of blades for each Grade category is still accurate, such blades could've also been destroyed. The Shigure is a katana belonging to the Meito category. It is currently owned by Tashigi. The Shigure is a katana with a green hilt and a hilt made up of four petals, or square sides. The blade itself is normal. The sheath is elaborate, the upper half being green and bumpy; the lower half is white and smooth. There are circular designs embedded all over the sheath. The Shodai Kitetsu is one of the 12 Saijo Ô Wazamono. It is part of the cursed swords created by Kitetsu along with the Nidai Kitetsu and the Sandai Kitetsu. It hasn’t made an appearance yet. Shodai literally means “First Generation” because the Shodai Kitetsu is the first sword in the Kitetsu series. She is unknown, but she must have an appearance quite similar to that of the Sandai Kitetsu.The twenty-one Great Grade Blades ( 大業物 , Ō Wazamono ?) [1] are among the highest-quality blades in the world, second only to the twelve Supreme Grade swords. These blades are well known for their incredible power and outstanding balance in strength, sharpness, and durability. In the hands of capable swordsmen, they can even stand up to the Supreme Grade Swords in combat. The Japanese sword’s appeal as an art form is derived from its features, especially the blade and the steel surface ( jigane) itself. Unlike other swords, Japanese swords are examined and appraised based on their bare, unmounted blades. The jigane is among the factors examined in a sword appraisal. Although, Shusui can deal extremely powerful and heavier strikes, there's some major problems that comes with it. The most notable being that it turned out to be a "problem child", no different from Sandai Kitetsu, causing too much destruction when cutting. Another being that it was heavier than his previous sword, all of which makes the sword much harder to control.
