To enter the world of One piece and wielding three blades like Roronoa Zoro, now is your chance to fulfill at least part of that dream. Proplica, Bandai's prop maker brand, has released not one but three of Zoro's iconic swords in life size replicas. All three swords come with a display stand, and have special features that set them apart from other replica swords you may find.
Zoro's sword was first announced on Premium Bandai's official X (formerly Twitter) on December 23rd. They were also shared by X's account the day after Christmas One piece blue. Additionally, a special video showcasing the sword was released by BANDAI SPIRITS on YouTube at the same time. All three show different images of the copy, and show some of the special features.

Despite being the first official member of the Straw Hats, Zoro still has the most mystery surrounding him of the entire team!
Zoro's famous three swords
When two are not enough
One piece is a huge story with countless characters, but Roronoa Zoro is one of the most important – and has been since the beginning of the story. Zoro is determined to be the best swordsman in the world, and wields not one but three swords. Zoro's three swords each have a name (at this point in the story), along with their own story. These three swords are called Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu and Enma.
When Zoro first joined the story, he only had the name Wado Ichimonji. This famous white sword is also used by Zoro in his mouth, which can be seen in the Netflix live-action version of the movie. One piece. Beyond the live show, Zoro's other swords have changed and improved throughout his journey. This is especially true of Enma, formerly owned by the famous samurai Kozuki Oden. Zoro can fight using all three swords at once, although he doesn't use all of them unless he needs to.

Official replica of Zoro's sword by Proplica
You can also use three swords
Proplica's three swords are official One piece goods, produced directly by Bandai. They are life-sized that are as accurate as possible on the screen. The three swords in the set are Zoro's current three, the Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu and Enma. The bag not only comes with three swords, but also a display stand, which shows the three blades on the cover.
In addition to being screen-accurate weapons, the three replica swords also have special features. They also recorded dialogue lines from Zoro and Kozuki Oden, Enma's former master. A sample of the dialogue can be seen in the BANDAI SPIRITS YouTube video posted on the sword. Of course, the dialogue is only in Japanese, done by the Japanese voice actors behind the characters.
In addition to posting photos of the trio of blades, the One piece The manga X account also posted a picture of Zoro holding the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, which all fans would love to do if they get their hands on the famous white sword. Premium Bandai's X article also links to an interview with the staff who led the sword-making project, but note that it's only in Japanese.
The sword is set to release in June through Premium Bandai Japan, and can be purchased for 59,400 yen ($380 USD). Keep in mind that these are real prop swords, not toys, and come with a special sound recorder and display stand. Each sword also has a handle, not just a bare blade. This is probably your only chance to use three swords, like Roronoa Zoro – but we don't really recommend using them.
