Eiichiro Oda has finally revealed why he wanted Zoro to be like this. Eiichiro Oda\u2019s One Piece has introduced us to several strong characters, but when it comes to sword fighting, only a few match the level of Roronoa Zoro. Interestingly, unlike other sword-wielders in the universe, Zoro possesses three swords that he uses altogether in every battle. Since his alliance with the Straw Hat Crew, Zoro has been a crucial asset due to his exceptional fighting skills. In childhood, he dreamed of beating the mighty Dracule Mihawk in sword fighting, so he dedicated half his life to training. Growing up, he honed his abilities to an extent where he can perfectly use three swords at a time to beat the crap out of the toughest opponents. Eiichiro Oda finally opens up about Zoro\u2019s three-sword-style In the One Piece manga, Zoro is seen training with Kuina when he was a child. While the former had two swords, Kuina only had one. However, Kuina was much more potent in defeating Zoro with a single sword. One day, Zoro realized that Kuina and he had the same goal: to become the greatest swordsman. So, when Kuina died, Zoro decided to work toward their shared dream. However, recently Oda revealed the true reason why he gave Zoro three swords. He said: \u201cIn Japan, there was a real-life swordsman named Musashi Miyamoto who was regarded as the greatest ever, and he was known for using two swords. My childish idea was to simply make Zoro even greater by giving him one additional sword.\u201d While several fans find the reason intriguing, some do not like the idea. \u201cTo be honest, the third sword is a useless gimmick. two swords are definitely better,\u201d said one user, \u201cIf Oda tried making Zoro better than Musashi he failed miserably,\u201d added another. Even though numerous fans oppose the idea, we can\u2019t deny that Zoro has contributed to a huge extent to One Piece\u2019s world. And fans have gotten so habituated to seeing him the way Oda has created him that even a minor change in his personality can call up for a heated argument.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Piece author explains why Zoro has three swords CrunchyrollZoro has impressed everyone with his unique style of fighting with three swords.
