Bandai Namco announced that the One Piece Roronoa Zoro Proplica swords will appear outside of Japan in July 2025. It also shared screenshots of the three swords, confirming that someone would actually be able to hold Wado Ichimonji in their mouth just like the character does in the manga and anime.
The set of Roronoa Zoro One Piece Proplica set of swords includes Enma, Saindai Kitetsu, and Wado Ichimonji. The close-up photo of a model holding Wado Ichimonji in his mouth shows how the mouthguard for it works. The hilt has a part someone can bite down on to recreate the character’s pose in which he holds Enma and Saindai Kitetsu in his hands and the third in his mouth. (As a reminder, Wado Ichimonji is Shimotsuki Kuina’s sword that was passed down to Zoro.)
That sword isn’t the only one in the set with a special feature. The reveal noted that Enma will be able to play audio lines and sound effects. One of the initial photos showed the button on its hilt that can be pressed to make one of them play.
Here is the full set of four initial photos showing off the upcoming replicas.
We’ll get to see Zoro wield those in the new year. At Jump Festa 2025, we learned that the Egghead arc of the anime would resume next year. That will also feature a new Franky voice actor when it returns.
Bandai Namco will release the One Piece Roronoa Zoro Proplica swords in July 2025. The first season of the One Piece live-action adaptation is on Netflix now, with season 2 on the way. The anime is on both Netflix and Crunchyroll. Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan.Â
