What grade of sword is Yubashiri in One Piece lore?
Updated Mar 2026
Yubashiri is classified as one of the 50 Skillful Grade swords - a Meito, or named blade - within the One Piece world's official sword hierarchy. This places it several tiers below the Supreme Grade swords like Mihawk's Yoru, but still far above ordinary blades. What made Yubashiri stand out among Meito was its reputation for exceptional lightness, which complemented Zoro's multi-sword style by reducing fatigue and allowing faster transitions between stances. Its destruction at Enies Lobby by Admiral Aokiji's ice ability remains one of the more emotionally resonant moments in the series, making replica pieces of this blade especially meaningful to longtime fans.
