When these words are pronounced together, they can sound like a completely different Japanese word, often referring to cuisine in general, and to sushi in many specific cases. Several of his attack names are actually puns due to the way some of the Japanese words are combined together. A few examples are during his battle with Pica, when he blocked Pica's strike on Ucy, when he uses "Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai", and when he uses "Sanzen Sekai". This is likely done to increase the versatility of his attacks, as holding the blade in this fashion allows him to deliver multiple cuts from a variety of angles. While using Three Sword Style, Zoro has a tendency to hold his left hand blade with a "reverse grip", in which the blade protrudes from the bottom of his hand and points away from the opponent. When he uses three swords, the third one (usually the Wado Ichimonji) is placed in his mouth. Zoro can use three swords, two swords, and one sword style techniques.
Kozuki Hiyori later convinced Zoro to leave it in Wano, and in return, she gifted him Enma, which was the sword she inherited from her father, Kozuki Oden. Sometime after his arrival in Wano, Gyukimaru stole Shusui, then returned it to Ryuma's grave, where Moria had originally stolen it. He later replaced Yubashiri, which had been rusted by Shu, with Shusui. After getting Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri, he could better use this sword style to the fullest, defeating the second strongest CP9 agent, Kaku. Despite it being an irregular fighting style involving using three swords in an unusual manner involving one in each hand and one in the mouth, this is his most preferred fighting form against several powerful opponents.Īlthough Zoro has stated that it does not matter which swords he uses as long as he has three, multiple subpar swords unable to match Wado Ichimonji have broken several times, meaning that he could never use his Three Sword Style to the fullest. It was because of this that Zoro started learning "Three Sword Style", which later drove him to become an extremely powerful swordsman, and Three Sword Style to be an extremely powerful style. When Zoro was told this, he was devastated, and he asked his sensei to give her sword, " Wado Ichimonji" to him so that he can carry on their dream to become the greatest swordsman. That would be the last time that the two rivals ever fought each other, because the next day Kuina lost her footing on some stairs, fell, and died. At the end of the fight, Kuina once again came out on top. Zoro fought with his usual Two Sword Style, as Kuina fought with her "One Sword Style". One day, he challenged Kuina to the two thousand and first match, confident as usual, only this time, he wanted to fight with actual swords. Defeated by his rival Kuina 2000 times, this only drove him to become stronger and stronger. Zoro first started developing " Two Sword Style", when he first started learning the ways of the sword.
