Sandai Kitetsu Shigure

The Yubashiri is one of the 50 Ryō Wazamono Grade Swords. Roronoa Zoro obtained this sword for free from a sword shop owner, the sword being a family heirloom, in Loguetown after he saw the skill and courage that Zoro showed in testing the curse of Sandai Kitetsu.[1]

This sword was destroyed by Shuu in the battle against the Marines's Captains and Commanders on the Bridge of Hesitation[2]. The sword is last seen with Zoro leaving it at the burial site of the Rumbar Pirates on Thriller Bark.

[edit] Abilities

The Yubshiri is an extremely light, but strong sword. Its light weight allows fast actions and reflexes, while maintaining its sharpness for cutting power.

When used by Zoro, the Yubashiri was one of the three swords for his Three Swords Style. When this sword was destroyed, Zoro replaced it with the Shuusui.

Main article: Hana Arashi

When Sogeking accidentally locked himself with Zoro's right hand with a Kairoseki-handcuff, Zoro had to improvise and combined the Yubashiri with Sogeking to create the Hana Arashi sword. Sogeking claimed that it made him dizzy when Zoro executed his attacks. This sword returned to being Yubashiri when the two managed to get the cuffs off.
