Yubashiri

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.

Appearance
The Yubashiri is a long katana with a black handle. It has a cross-shaped guard, and a black sheathe. The blade itself is normal in appearance. It is considered to be a very light sword. Though mostly black, the sheathe and the handle both have thin yet elaborate gold designs on them.

History
This sword was destroyed by Shu in the battle against the Marines's Captains and Commanders on the Bridge of Hesitation. The sword is last seen with Zoro leaving it at the burial site of the Rumbar Pirates on Thriller Bark, and was replaced by the Shuusui that Zoro won from Ryuma.

Abilities
The Yubashiri is an extremely light, but strong sword and Zoro remarks that it was a "nice katana" after seeing how easy it was to use. 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 and it was typically used along with Sandai Kitetsu in his Two Sword Style techniques. When this sword was destroyed, Zoro replaced it with the Shuusui.

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" (A pun on Sogeking's long nose), by having Sogeking hold the sword and then using Sogeking as the hilt. Sogeking claimed that it made him dizzy when Zoro executed his attacks. Zoro went back to using the sword normally when the two managed to get the cuffs off.
