Wondering which are the current Swords used by Zoro? One Piece is finally venturing into its final war saga and it’s safe to say that the Strawhats have come a long way in their journey on the Grand Line. Having said that, if there is someone who has quite literally given his blood, sweat, and tears for Luffy, then it has to be Zoro. The future Pirate King’s first mate has always been a fan favorite right from the start of the series. His quest to become the world’s greatest swordsman and protect Luffy’s ambition of becoming the Pirate King has garnered worldwide respect.
Before going any further, there will be spoilers ahead. So if you haven’t yet caught up with the recent chapters or episodes of One Piece, this is the time to turn back.
In his quest, Zoro has wielded many katanas and other sizeable weapons for his Santoryu (Three Sword Style). And while long-time fans may know that the future strongest swordsman started with just two unnamed katanas, there have been a few swords before he reached the collection he has now. With Enma at his disposal, Zoro is undoubtedly closer to achieving his promise in One Piece. So if you are wondering which katanas he is using in the recent One Piece Arcs or the name of the most cursed swords in his collection, then here is everything you need to know.
All Swords used by Zoro in One Piece Anime
The list below contains all of Zoro’s Swords in the order he came across them and what they are known for in the world of One Piece.
Unnamed Katanas
- Anime Episode: 2
- Manga Chapter: 5
At the start of One Piece, Zoro sets sail to challenge Dracule Hawkeye Mihawk for a duel with two unnamed Katanas alongside the Wado Ichimonji. These two unnamed katanas were given to him by Kuina’s grandfather Shimotsuki Kozaburo who was one of the members of the Shimotsuki Family. These swords were then used by Zoro for a long period of time, up until his duel with Mihawk during the Baratie arc. Along with losing the swords, Zoro also lost the duel and vowed to Luffy that he would never be defeated once again.
Wado Ichimonji
- Anime Episode: 2
- Manga Chapter: 5
- Price: Beli 10,000,000+
The Wado Ichimonji is one of the 21 Great Grade Meito or the 21 Great Grade Sword. The legendary sword was handed over to Zoro by Koushirou, Kuina’s father, in One Piece. Wado Ichimonji was made by Kuina’s grandfather Shimotsuki Kozaburo himself, who was a master swordsmith in the land of Wano. He also crafted other Great Grade Meito along the lines of Wado Ichimonji. It was the only sword that didn’t shatter during his duel with Dracule Mihawk during the Baratie Arc.
Sandai Kitetsu
- Anime Episode: 49
- Manga Chapter: 97
- Price: Beli 1,000,000+
After shattering his dual-wielding Katanas, Zoro was in search of blades for his journey ahead. In the Loguetown arc, he came across a sword merchant named Ipponmatsu and the Sandai Kitetsu, a Grade Blade, believed to be cursed by the merchant himself. Zoro put this theory to the test and saw if the curse of the blade was more powerful than his luck. Ipponmatsu was impressed by the spirit of Zoro and handed over the Sandai Kitetsu for free to him. The sword is regarded as the best for having great sharpness while slicing things up.
Yubashiri
- Anime Episode: 49
- Manga Chapter: 97
Yubashiri was one of the 50 Skillfull Grade Swords that was handed over to Zoro by Ipponmatsu, the merchant, along with the Sandai Kitetsu. After being impressed by Zoro’s luck and his spirit, the merchant passed on the blade. The sword was then used by Zoro alongside Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu for quite a while for his Nitoryu and Santoryu. During the Enies Lobby arc in the Water 7 saga, the sword was destroyed by Marine Captain Shu using his Sabi Sabi No Mi (Rust Rust Fruit) in One Piece. Zoro then buried the remains alongside the grave site of the Rumbar Pirates on Thriller Bark.
Shusui
- Anime Episode: 342
- Manga Chapter: 448
Shusui is one of the 21 Great Grade Meito or the 21 Great Grade Sword also known as a Black Blade. The blade was wielded by the legendary swordsman Shimotsuki Ryuma and was robbed by Gecko Moria from his grave. It was considered one of the national treasures of the land of Wano. Zoro got his hand over Shushui after defeating Ryuma’s zombie figure in the Thriller Bark Arc. The duel ended in Zoro winning after which the swordsman handed over the blade to him.
Enma

Enma is undoubtedly one of the strongest swords that Zoro possesses in his current arsenal.
