Who is Roronoa Zoro in One Piece?

Roronoa Zoro is a swordsman who originated from East Blue and was a bounty hunter in his initial days. Hence, he earned the nickname Pirate Hunter Zoro in the One Piece world. Shortly after, Zoro accepted Luffy’s invitation to join the Straw Hat Pirates. He joined the crew to pursue his dream of becoming the world’s greatest swordsman.

Zoro’s Sword Collection

Throughout the One Piece anime, Zoro has always kept one sword by his side, while he has gone through his fair share of swords when fighting other pirates. He used various swords in his lifetime, starting from dual katanas to the most recent addition Enma. So, let’s look at Zoro’s sword collection in One Piece.

  • Meaning: UnknownType: KatanaGrade: Unknown Owners: ZoroDebut: Episode 2, Chapter 5Price: Unknown

Zoro began his journey in the One Piece anime with two unnamed katanas and the Wado Ichimonji blade. Zoro invented the three-sword technique, hence, he carried three swords on him at all times. There is not much information available regarding these two katanas as they were normal blades. However, we know that the twin katanas were precious to Zoro as they were gifted to him by Wano-born swordsmith Shimotsuki Kozaburo when he was a kid.

The legendary Wado Ichimonji has been part of Zoro’s sword collection since day one. It belongs to the 21 Great Grade Meito (21 Great Grade Swords). This sword was previously supposed to be passed down to Zoro’s childhood friend Kuina, a girl who defeated him several times at the dojo.

As mentioned above, this was the only sword that could withstand Mihawk’s supreme-grade Yoru blade strikes. And as he promised, Zoro would likely carry this blade till the conclusion of his voyage.

Sandai Kitetsu (Kitetsu III) is classified as a grade blade (Wazamono), a lower grade than Zoro’s other swords. Kozuki Sukiyaki, a famed wordsmith in Wano country, crafted this sword. When Zoro impressed the arms merchant Ipponmatsu with his skills in Logue Town, he handed Zoro this blade for free, along with the Yubashiri sword. This sword is considered to be cursed (as recognized by Zoro) and is said to bring tremendous misery to its owner.

  • Meaning: Snow Run, Snow Chaser Type: KatanaGrade: Skillful Grade Blades (Ryō Wazamono)Owners: Ipponmatsu, ZoroDebut: Episode 49, Chapter 97Price: Unknown

Yubashiri is one of the 50 Skillful Grade Blades, which are swords of high quality but still rank under the 21 Great and 12 Supreme Grade Blades in One Piece. The sword belonged to the Ipponmatsu family for generations. Dazzled by Zoro’s swordsmanship and luck with the Sandai Kitetsu, Ipponmatsu decided to give Zoro this sword for free as well.

Unluckily, it was destroyed by Shu (a marine captain) in the Enies Lobby arc. Shu ate the Sabi Sabi no Mi (Rust-Rust Fruit) devil fruit, which granted him the power to rust and damage whatever he touched. When Zoro challenged him to a fight, Shu promptly employed his devil fruit powers to ruin the Yubashiri sword. The Rumbar Pirates’ cemetery in the Thriller Bark served as the final resting place for this blade.

  • Meaning: Autumn WaterType: KatanaGrade: Great Grade (Wazomono)Owners: Shimotsuki Ryuma, Zoro (Returned to Wano Country now)Debut: Episode 342, Chapter 448Price: Unknown

Shusui is a black blade and one of the 21 Great Grade (O Wazamono) swords. The legendary ‘Sword God’ Shimotsuki Ryuma of the Wano nation once wielded this blade, thus, it is recognized as a holy Wano treasure. Ryuma’s corpse and his sword were stolen by Gecko Moria, who then went to Thriller Bark. That’s how Zoro faced off and defeated Ryuma’s zombie version in Thriller Bark. The zombie chose to gift his formidable sword to Zoro after being amazed by his swordsmanship.

  • Meaning: Enma (Yama)Type: KatanaGrade: Great Grade (Wazomono)Owners: Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Hiyori, ZoroDebut: Episode 955, Chapter 954Price: Unknown

Enma is also one of the 21 Great Grade (O Wazamono) swords wielded by Zoro in One Piece. It was wielded by the fabled character Kozuki Oden, and he even cut Kaido with this very blade. The Enma was handed over to his daughter Kozuki Hiyori, who then passed it to Zoro as compensation for the Shusui. So yeah, this powerful sword ended up in the hands of Zoro, and now, he’s causing a storm wherever he goes with this blade.

Due to the sudden and significant discharge of the owner’s Armament (or Busoshoku) Haki, this sword is regarded as being uncontrollable and hard to handle. This effect was first observed when Zoro used the Enma during his training, but he is yet to master this sword. With this sword, Zoro was however able to sever a portion of an island. Pretty scary, right?

As you might have learned by now, Zoro is a three-sword user in the One Piece world. When he is missing his ordinary swords, he borrows them from a buddy, picks them up off the ground, or utilizes the enemy’s weapons, depending on the scenario. Thus, Zoro has used several temporary swords throughout his journey. We have listed them all right here:

  • Meaning: Vegetable-Cutting SwordType: SwordGrade: Unknown Owners: Johnny & YosakuDebut: Episode 19, Chapter 44Price: Unknown

When Mihawk destroyed Zoro’s dual katanas during their duel, he was left with only his Wado Ichimonji blade. He couldn’t execute the three-sword method since he didn’t have two extra swords. As a result, during the Arlong Park arc, he borrows two swords from his pals Johnny and Yosaku in order to fight Hatchan. He then returns the swords to them after a triumphant victory.

  • Meaning: UnknownType: SwordGrade: Unknown Owner: Unkown MarineDebut: Episode 309, Chapter 426Price: Unknown

Zoro was ambushed by the marine captain Shu at the end of the Enies Lobby arc. As mentioned above, Shu consumed the Sabi Sabi no Mi (Rust-Rust Fruit) devil fruit, granting him the ability to rust and ruin the things he touches. When Zoro tried to battle him, he immediately used his devil fruit powers to demolish Zoro’s Yubashiri sword.

3. Seppuku Blade

In the Wano Country arc, Zoro was compelled to perform seppuku by offering a blade. He then used this little seppuku blade on his attackers to get control of the situation. By wielding this little tanto blade, he was able to turn a deadly situation in his favor.

  • Meaning: UnknownType: ScytheGrade: Unknown Owner: KillerDebut: Episode 934, Chapter 937Price: Unknown

In One Piece’s Wano Country arc, Gyukimaru seized Zoro’s Shusui sword, leaving him with only two blades. In the meantime, Kamazo the Manslayer (a moniker for Killer from the Kid Pirates, see their One Piece Jolly Roger while you are here) confronted him. Zoro snatched a scythe from Kamazo since he is capable of turning the deadly scenario around on his own. He was then able to use the lethal 3-sword style Onigiri to beat Kamazo.

  • Debut: Episode 294

Back in the Enie Lobby arc, Zoro finds himself in an unusual circumstance after being handcuffed to Sogeking. The key to the handcuffs is with the CP9 members who are confronting him. While in a bad predicament, he has the bright idea to take up Sogeking and wield him as another blade in the fight. Only the world’s greatest swordsman of the future can think of such wonderful innovations.

List of Zoro’s Swords in One Piece

Zoro has used 6 different main swords and 4 temporary swords throughout the One Piece anime.

Zoro usually carries three swords with him to perform the three-sword style anytime. So currently, he has the Wado Ichimonji, Kitetsu III, and Enma with him.

Out of the swords he currently owns, the Sandai Kitetsu is the weakest blade in his arsenal. If we are talking about all the swords he has owned until now, then Zoro’s dual katanas are the weakest ones.
