Katana - Shuusui, Lorenor Zoro, One Piece

Katana – Shuusui

This decorative sword was inspired by the Shuusui, which pirate hunter Lorenor Zoro (jap. Roronoa Zoro) wielded for a while in the anime One-Piece. The Shuusui belongs to the great grade swords and thus to the 2nd rank of the sword classification within the anime and manga.

It has an approx. 67.8 cm long, slightly sharpened, black blade made of carbon steel. Its tsuka is wrapped in a black grip band. The simple decorative elements on the tsuka and saya, like the flower-shaped tsuba, are made of gold anodised aluminium. The black-coated and decorated saya is made of wood and has a black sageo.

History behind the sword
Shuusui originally belonged to Shimotsuki Ryuma, samurai and national hero of Wa no Kuni. In this isolated island state in the New World, Shuusui is considered a national treasure.

Geko Moria raided the tomb of Shimotsuki Ryuma 23 years before the current events of the Anime and Maga and stole Ryuma's corpse and his katana. His aim was to resurrect Ryuma as a zombie in order to make the legendary samurai fight for him.

On the Thriller Bark, Zoro met the resurrected Ryuma, who had been turned into a zombie with the help of Brook's shadow, and fought a tough battle with him. After his defeat, Ryuma bequeathed the Shuusui to Zoro and said that he was satisfied with him as its sword master.

From then on, Shuusui stayed with Zoro for quite some time, including his two-year training under the supervision of Hawk Eyes Mihawk. During this time, Shuusui became his favourite sword. It served the three-sword-style swordsman well in numerous battles against increasingly stronger opponents.

During his stay in Wano, Shuusui was eventually stolen by Gyukimaru. Who brought the national treasure of his homeland back to Ryuma's grave. In order for Shuusui to remain in Wa no Kuni, Kozuki Hiyori parted with her own great grade sword Enma and offered it to Zoro as a replacement for Shuusui. He finally accepted and finally parted with Shuusui.
