![]() ![]() This technique is known as 36 Pound Phoenix in the VIZ manga and Funimation subs, 36 Caliber Phoenix in the Funimation dub (and sometimes the VIZ manga) and Single Sword Rising Phoenix in the 4Kids dub. This was first seen being used to finish off Braham in Enel's Survival Game. Zoro introduced this technique as a very powerful Flying Slash Attack. To initiate it, Zoro first holds one of his swords horizontally above the shoulder of his sword arm, and then performs a circular swing that launches the air compressed projectile spiraling towards the target. Sanjuroku Pound Ho ( 三十六 煩悩 ( ポンド )鳳, Sanjūroku Pondo Hō ?, kanji meaning "Thirty Six Klesha Phoenix" furigana meaning "Pound Phoenix/Cannon"): This attack uses the air itself to slash the target from a distance.In some video games, such as in Jump Super/Ultimate Stars and One Piece: Grand Battle! Swan Colosseum, this is used as a reversal/counter instead of as a direct attack. Also, in the Funimation dub, "breath" is referred to as "rhythm". In the 4Kids dub, the attack is called Single Sword Lion's Strike, and in the Funimation dub, it was called One Sword Style: Lion's Strike (but in Episode 299 is renamed to One Sword Style Sword Draw: Lion's Song). As with many other of Zoro's attacks, this one's name is a pun: shishisonson ( 子子孫孫/子々孫々 ?) is a four-word proverb meaning "one's offspring" or "prosperity", with the sonson ( 歌歌 ?) of this move deriving from songu ( ソング ?), the Japanese way of pronouncing the English "song". Pre-timeskip, the attack was as powerful as Kaku's Rankyaku: Rodan. 1's steel body or Kaku's Tekkai technique. Generally, Zoro prefers using this technique when he needs to cut metal like Mr. His very first-seen One Sword Style attack, this move was used by him to finish off Mr. An interesting note is that Zoro does the technique in reverse grip from beside-and-over his head, as opposed to from the waist with a standard grip on the sword. Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson ( 一刀流 「居合」 獅子歌歌, Ittōryū Iai: Shishi Sonson ?, literally meaning "One Sword/Blade Style Acting-Draw: Lion's Song"): Placing a single, sheathed sword upright and listening to the "breath" of his opponent, Zoro rapidly unsheathes, attacks while passing by his foe, and then resheathes his sword.In fact, most of his One Sword Style techniques are very powerful finishing techniques. However, over time, he seems to have worked on this weakness and becomes proficient with this style. Early in the series (when Sham stole two of his swords and Zoro had to fight him and Buchi with just one), Zoro himself claims that he is "not that good at one-sword techniques". He mainly fights with one sword when not fighting seriously or when he is using a specialized cutting technique. He usually uses Wado Ichimonji for them, but after the timeskip he seems to be proficient in using each of his three swords for his one-sword techniques. ![]() As Zoro is left-handed, his One Sword Style techniques have nearly always been executed with his left hand. These are the attacks he uses with one sword. ![]()
