One Piece’s creator has revealed the reason why Zoro’s character has three swords, showcasing another example of Eiichiro Oda’s self-admitted childish leanings.Per @pewpiece, the popular One Piece fan account on X, Oda said, “In 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.” Oda’s association with the fabled swordsman was seen again when he drew Miyamoto from Takehiko Inoue’s iconic Vagabond manga, a fictional retelling of his life. The artwork can be seen below.Oda first revealed the inspiration behind Zoro’s three-sword style in an interview with Netflix Tudum following the live-action’s successful debut. He also provided a similarly ridiculous reason why Nami has orange hair, stating, “It’s simply because there were no other characters in manga that had orange hair at the time. I just don’t want to do something that’s been done before.” Sanji’s kicking style stemmed from being a chef by trade, while Usopp’s slingshot stems from his cowardly nature. “He’d want a weapon that would allow him to attack from a distance,” Oda said. “Considering the modest village where he grew up, a gun would be too dangerous, and a slingshot seemed to make the most sense. Each of their fighting styles always needs to feed into their respective characters.” Oda’s sketches of Gear 5 Luffy also featured an explanation for why Luffy is always laughing.
