Shishisonson is explicitly called Ittoryu Iai!


captaineddie

Always been a sucker for iai. Hopefully zoro has another iai move up his sleeve.


QueenQraken

Isn't Two Sword Rashomon also an iai?


captaineddie

It is indeed. I meant to say a third.


Mufakaz

Doesn't he resheath after shishisonson? Which is not done/possible irl.


aitherion

It's still an iai move.


TheGameologist

Crossing the 6 paths is also an iai technique of his. It would be cool to see zoro use some other famous sword moves. Haha imagine his spin on the gatotsu move Saito uses in rurouni kenshin. (I've seen that move done in other media like kill bill but I don't know what its actually called irl or if its even real)

>gatotsu move Saito uses in rurouni kenshin Ah yes. Piercing fang in Elden Ring. An iteration is more likely to be used by Brook 1st before Zoro does a stronger version.

Kendo specifically? No. Not using the modern version that is used for sport at least. He might be using other Kenjustu, iaido/iaijutsu inspired techniques.


RPGZero

Iaido rather than kendo. And I am happy for that. Kendo was never a battlefield martial art, is not historical beyond the last century, and quite frankly, isn't the best form of sword combat. Iaido, however, has its roots in actual samurai history.

yall don't use the kendo technique pound a ho?

All of the sword fighting in One Piece is super unrealistic. Most of it is probably taken from Rurouni Kenshin considering that Oda was an assistant.

The world you're looking for is "kenjutsu", not "kendo" and yes, he is using quite a lot of it. Sword drawing techniques go into Iaido Itoryu is literally technique school with one sword And Nitoryu is technique school with two swords
