Roronoa Zoro has been among the strongest characters in the One Piece series for several years. As the right hand of the man who wants to be pirate king, Zoro’s strength is nothing to scoff at. His trademark three-sword style is unique in any anime, especially One Piece.
The three sword styles have garnered a lot of attention in One Piece. He has successfully created some of the most devastating techniques in the series. Zoro is also the sole user of the famous Santoryu, which means most of his moves are self-taught. After the time skip, with most of the crew now able to utilize Haki, many of his techniques also got upgraded. In this list, we will be ranking the Roronoa Zoro’s strongest techniques.
Three Sword Style: Billion-Fold World Trichiliocosm
The move debuted in the DressRosa Arc against Pica, a member of the Don Flamingo pirates. Following the events of the time skip, most of the crew is now learning to utilize Haki. The Billion-Fold World Trichiliocosm technique, called Santoryu Ogi: Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai, is the upgraded version of the Sanzen Sekai. While using this move, he imbues his sword with armament Haki to double its lethality.
Purgatory Oni Giri
Onigiri has been one of Zoro’s signature techniques since the beginning of One Piece. Zoro uses his swords to take the shape of a horned demon. He even uses it to take on strong characters like Dracule Mihawk. In Wano, after receiving Enma, the move is given new life as he uses Haoshoku Haki to coat his blades. Purgatory Onigiri differs from the original; Zoro coats his blades with Busoshoku and Haoshoku Haki. Changing the attack from a mele to a long-range attack
Three Sword Style: 1080 Pound Phoenix
Since the beginning of One Piece, Zoro has grown the phoenix canon from 36 to 1080. The pound phoenix is a technique that launches three air-compressed projectiles spiraling toward the target instead of one or two, tripling the method’s power. The technique was strong enough even to cut Pica.
Asura: Dead Man’s Game
Zoro’s famous nine-sword style has been his ace in the hole when things get tough. The move debuted during his fight with Kaku during the Cp0 arc. The move made a shocking revival in his clash against Kaidou. It is also when Zoro realizes he has conquerors’ haki. He uses this newfound technique to attack Kaido and successfully scar the emperor. In the series, only a few characters have accomplished this feat.
King of Hell, Three-Sword Serpent: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation
Gear 5 was the only part Wano Arc had to offer. Zoro had shown consistent progress all through the raid at Onigashima. Not only did fans get to see Zoro debut a lot of new techniques. They were also allowed to see his conqueror, Haki, in action against several opponents. But the most grueling test came from the Lunarian and King of conflagration, King.
The swordsman staked his pride on the line during their battle, successfully dawning the title “King of Hell”. This style lets him channel his armament and conquerors’ haki into his swords for an attack that could rival the sea emperors. Using this style, he cut down King in a single strike.
