The only way the opening bit could have been better would be if you had someone cosplaying as Zoro walk by while looking lost.
Yes!!!
You could have had Shad get lost on his way back from Europe.
I bet that was the plan, but he got lost
Lol perfect.
On the way to England I think he went through Dubai. A guy dressed like a Frankish/Ferengi knight wandering though the middle East, that could get iffy. @@mikewilkinson634
The most impressive thing about Zoro isn't that he can fight better with what should be a handicap, it's that he can actually be understood while talking with a mouth full of sword.
Actors but especialy moderators on tv can do that to if they got professional speaking aducation and training, because one method in use is, that they train with a plastic ball in their mouth.
I remember someone in school saying he does it with Haki 😂
@@xlro8f853 lol
I meanit is world where people can learn how to speak out of their own ass after all xD
That samurai on punk island
@@xlro8f853I could be convinced that Zoro simply trained so hard that he unconsciously unlocked armament haki for his teeth.
To be fair even in the manga, Zoro doesn't use the mouth sword that much. Only a few attacks use it specifically, even for most of his "three sword" techniques, the mouth sword usually just sits there while he attacks with the other two.
Actually it's Zoros main style of fighting that he would pick over the 1 and 2 style but he doesn't use it as much in fights because each arc very few opponents are equal or stronger than zoro. So zoro can beat most enemies with 2 swords he starts using 3 when an enemy is equal or stronger than him but 3 swords is his main/most trained style.
The third sword isn't used traditionally, it creates an additional slash when dashing, like during Onigiri, etc.or for guarding, so he's free to attack with his other swords on counter
@@MidBoss666I've always seen it that way, that using Santoryu unlocks different techniques that aren't available to only 2 swords, therefore creating a 3rd slash without really ever slashing with his neck lol
And Zoro uses the third Sword bc he is fighting not only for himself but also for Kuina, the third sword was Kuina‘s sword before she died. So it is more like an emotional reason than a tactical
He hasn’t read the manga bro, much less watched the anime lol if he did he would’ve made this video a long time ago, not around the live action’s hype.
I think my favorite part of three-sword style is that Oda doesn’t even try to make an argument for why it’s a good or logical style. Zoro literally started using it because he was a practically feral child who just wanted to hold as many swords as possible and despite the fact that it’s a ridiculous technique was so stubborn that he brute-forced his way into making it work.
It’s such a great writing shorthand to tell you his character. He’s not this graceful master swordsman who is keyed into every detail of the fight, waiting for the right moment to strike. He’s a monster master swordsman who beats reality into submission. 😂
Technically he startes using it because he promised he would be the best swordsman for him and Kuina after she died. He already used 2 swords so he had to integrate her 1 sword into his style.
But yes, I kinda remember his opponents arguing how absurd it is throughout the Manga. Funny enough he faces someone who uses 8 and 4 swords and even comente that more swords doesn't equal more strength when facing them, so even him recognizes the shortcomings of his technique
@@victorpurificacao2855 pretty sure he started 3 swording before she died tho
And later on we get an octopus fishman that uses 8 swords
I might be wrong but I seem to remember that every special sword has a will of their own that (if certain conditions are met) gives the user a power up to their strenght, so using 3 or More special swords allready has a benefit, tho they might be imprectical when using too many of them.
"Beats reality into submission" what a wonderful description of one piece as a whole. I love this series.
Zoro doesn't swing the sword in his mouth on it's own a lot. I see the impracticality of swinging a sword that is in your mouth as the reason why a lot of his moves are momentum based. He does a lot of dashing forward.
He also likes to hold one of the sword's reverse grip. Not always, but often enough that calling him a human Beyblade would not be incorrect.
@@sithstormd2703and sometimes he just multiplies his limbs and has 9 swords
He did swing the sword in his mouth against Mihawk in their first duel. When Mihawk blocked it with his little knife.
He swings it in the live action, one of the few places he uses it. But yah, normally it's a defensive thing that allows him to be more aggressive with his arms.
Not swung so much as used to restrict opponents movement, put it in their path
@@decepticonmecha I know that but I said he doesn't swing the sword in his mouth a lot. I know he does sometimes.
The idea of having Zoro hold a sword in his mouth came from imagery of pirates boarding ships with daggers in their mouths so they could use their hands to climb over the rails. It's just a silly reference to iconic stuff from previous stories, which is true of a lot of One Piece. Silly nonsense with a surprising amount of thought put in.
Very good catch! Luffy and Zoro first season designs do look a lot like stereotypical pirates, so that makes a lot of sense.
I'm surprised they didn't bother to test dagger in mouth along with the 2 swords, potentially the plastic teeth in the vice grip might have suffered less damage with less leverage (probably not though) oh well.
That "Silly nonsense" is what makes a lot of people not watch One Piece. It is too much. Even Bugs Bunny had more logic than Zoro.
@@TCuestaManthat silly nonsense is also what a lot of people come for to one-piece. It's an absurdism fiction after all. And considering how popular it is, I'd have to say that the gambit worked out
@@TCuestaMan That "Silly nonsense" is the reason why one piece is the most selling manga in history. So it doesnt matter if you like it or not..
The example with the dog is interesting, because not only does a dog have a greater neck strength than a human, the teeth are also morr securely fastened in it's jaws. Their roots go deeper and the teeth are larger so they have a greater surface area that is attached to the jaws.
The added bite strength helps too since it gets a more secure grip on the sword.
It's almost as if dogs are evolved to use their mouth as a weapon 😄
And zoro is described as a demon or a feral animal a lot. Plus he can easily carry hundreds of pounds with his jaw and neck strength.
And you do see Zoro using dumbbells in his mouth as workouts when they're in the ship to strengthen his jaw while he's lifting 😂
Just look up Repede from Tales of Vesperia.
I was worried how they'll do the 3 sword style in the Live Action but it looks good. Especially that choreography in episode 1 with Captain Morgan when he immobiled him. So good!
yea!! it was good choreography!
One Piece was a friggin MASTERPIECE!!! The curse of bad live adaptations is OVER!!!
Love how much fun you guys had with this one. Hope nobody actually tries to take it too seriously, though. About every ability in One Piece is made with a bit of goofiness behind it. The whole reason Luffy is a rubber man is because Oda wanted a wacky ability for Luffy to balance out the story when it actually does get serious.
Also humans in one piece are built different where teeth can be regeranted from drinking milk
@@braydoxastora5584 It does a body good. Just look at Brook. He's all bones and look how fast it helps him grow. 💀
Especially the latest few episodes, Oda was clearly inspired by Saturday-morning cartoons from the U.S. Between the goofiness and the demographics and the weekly airing schedule, it makes sense that they were an attempt at Japan's version of them.
@@Vaeldargim disgusted by the growin goofyness of onepiece.
@@CoNteMpTone What can you expect from a story the plot for which was put together decades ago, in a culture where authors are creating these novels as much for themselves as any sort of audience?
In Zoro's defense, he has an insanely strong jaw!
He got it from sucking sausages
And in general the people of the one piece world are sturdier then humans in our world so that probably goes for teeth i guess
So if a human had the bite strength and neck muscles of dog then a 3rd sword might be viable.
You can also grow your teeth back with milk in that setting.
Just to take this situation seriously for a moment, If hes a jaw was so strong that it could grip the hilt so well and strong enough that the sword Could handle the force of another sword or person pushing against it, Then his teeth would actually break the hilt.
He would have to exert massive pressure against the hilt to keep it in place.
Strictly speaking, in a world where the character can canonicaly have a sixth sense, rep boulders with his mouth, and cut through steel with brute strength, the third sword would actually give an advantage. Also zoro mainly uses his third sword for blocking and big attacks, not realy moving it around for small attacks
I've always interoperated Zoro's third sword as a bluff sword. Something that's used for spectacle and intimidation because realistically if you were being charged at by a guy with three swords, you'd probably be less focused on the two in their hands and more distracted by the prospect of being hit by the third one. Having the sword in your teeth would be a psychological tactic to make your opponent second guess how you plan to attack them, maybe cause them to switch up their stance or attempt to block a bluff attack, where in reality the sword in your mouth is just a distraction to the real attacks.
Shad had the absolute exact amount of fun needed to make this video perfect. 😂
DONT FORGET: he trained his jaw and teeth for years and years for that style
that is what I was going to say he has been training in that style for a very very long time and even in the early episodes we learn he is exceptionally durable compared to a normal person. He is probably the only person in existence that can do that.
I can understand training the jaw. But teeth makes no sense. It's like "training" your finger nails.
@@afm571worse, actually, because fingernails grow back
Actually, it's his neck that needs to be the main focus...
@@afm571 Zoro probably just uses haki subconsciously to reinforce his teeth.
one of the things I love about WHAT is that it shows the incredible amount of training that certain characters take to be able to do certain things, Zoro is definitely the character we see train the most in the entire One Piece universe, same thing for Kobi.
Yeah, in that regard he is the Vegeta of the group.
Ok, this is silly and fantastic. Whoever came up with idea deserves a pat on the back.
Also, speaking of katanas and silliness, I translate 1000 year old Japanese stories on my channel and the latest one involves japanese sword fighting, and, the best part is, the mechanics of ancient Japanese swords play an important part in explaining how the MC fends off one of the three attackers he faces. Check it out if you're so inclined.
I laughed when Luffy asked, "where does the third sword go?" 🤣
I really wish his reaction to seeing where it goes was "Oh, so NOT between the legs" instead of just "so THAT'S where it goes"
@@Nyahahameha Wait till he knows about the secret four sword style
@@Nyahahamehahe's too naive to know any of that😂
@@user-lq4ct6dr5m the true style of the right hand of the pirate king. perfect for protecting his back
@@rebecccca8 Eiichiro Oda once confirmed in a response to fan mail that Luffy's penis can also stretch like rubber. This implies that Luffy _has_ tested this aspect of his Devil Fruit power. Also one of the cleanest hits he landed during his fight with Buggy was kicking the clown in the crotch. He is not _that_ naive.
It'd probably be more accurate to say he ignores that aspect of the human experience unless something to do with it is funny.
And here we thought Zoro couldn't get even more lost he found his way to the shadlands of shadivercity
It's great how in the anime Zoro always spoke entirety clearly with the sword in his mouth.
This was amusing. Also, there was a couple mention with a dog with a LARP sword. This brought back a pleasant memory of myself and my friends roughhousing of sparring with wooden swords and clubs etc add my previous dog what often pick one up in his mouth and try to enter The fray... He did get some people in The shins and the knees including behind the legs.. occasionally he would jump up and poke somebody higher weather sad stick object in his mouth.. oh what fun memories I miss that good boy.
As Zoro said him self “using three swords is pointless unless you know three swords style.”
This was fun and amazing video as usual.
These fools don't wield three sword style🤨
They never train their teeth like Zoro does
Call In the anime, I often get some impression he's manipulating the air somehow. I haven't caught up yet, but that's the kind of thing I would use to explain it. Especially given 108 Caliber Canon.
@@michaelkindt3288 yeah the cannon is he using so much force that the airwaves attack for him
@@colereed7411you are the fool if you think three sword style actually exists and what's shown in a fictional cartoon is logical 😂😂
But you got to admit, the three sword style is definitely the rule of cool.
Zoro actually swings with his body for the sword in his mouth. Very rarely the neck. While he tends to spin the other two independently to the side. Plus Zoro at the very least actually trains his jaw to withstand that weight. Like barbells & the like. Sadly it's still in an unrealistic way so it's still unfeasible to real life humans.
I feel like the third sword just serves as a psychological boost. He doesn't actually use it, but the fact that he has it in his mouth makes him more aggressive because he's biting really hard, and that helps in the fight.
And because his opponent is caught so off guard by it
Even Zoro doesn't use the third sword all the time. He mostly does it for a special move. Those moves are usually a full body movement so he can hit with all 3 swords at once.
And since this is super strength Zoro, he can slash just as hard with his mouth sword as the ones in his hand. That's how he makes his ranged attack, the 108 caliber phenix, work.
But he can't twist his head like an owl. So no matter how hard he can't slash, the sword is pointing sideways while the opponent is in front and your neck doesn't twist far enough
@@DrTheRichhe just does a full body spin.
@@DrTheRichjus add two more heads
@@guspao23 spoiler.......... he does just add two more heads later
@@bellanurdilla9867 that's what I am saying
I think everyone knows, that having a 3rd Sword is stupid in reality.
But from a writers perspective it actually makes a lot of sense for him to do so.
Think about it: Zoro is a really competitive guy. His ultimate goal is to become the strongest swordman of the world. And he always wants to one up his competitors. So having him use a 3rd sword is his way to show off and stand out as one step above other people who "only" use 2 swords.
And that's why I grew to like the idea of him using 3 swords.
Zoro will take any advantige he can to be stronger. To be frank, im suprised he didnt ate a fevil fruit yet
His third sword is also a memento.
....he carries Kuina's sword.....because she died and couldn't reach their dream.....so he carries both of their dreams......
He also trained Santoryu at least 10 years before he met Luffy.
@@totallynotdio1311Not exactly, rather he will exert any amount of effort to become stronger. He straight up declares that he'd take the "path of hardship" to become the greatest, so I dont think he would eat a devil fruit just to become a stronger fighter.
Besides, his goal is to become the strongest *swordsman*, and devil fruit powers wouldnt really improve his sword skills in any way
I'm actually loving this trend of people with legit weapons training having a go at santoryu. Before I watch it, I know it's not going to work, it's bonkers*, but it's so fun to watch. And it gives me even more respect for Mackenyu who did his own stunts in the show.
*By 'bonkers' I mean trying it without spending years training by lifting boulders with your teeth like Zoro does. Of course if you were to do this the style is totally realistic and would work perfectly as seen in the show. :)
this was a hell lot of fun to watch! thank you team shad.
i allways thought the third sword in the mouth was a reference to the knife in the mouth like in the pirate movies. Zorro is not just a Pirate, hes a Piratehunter.
I know its impractical and exaggerated but 3 sword style looks so cool
Tha's all that matters.
Wait until you see the 4 swords style!
@@arx3516giraffe tempo!
@@arx3516Cheeks of steel
Wait till you see Masumani Dante from Sengoku Basara wielding 6 swords. Three in each hand.
CLEARLY Shad needs 8-10 years of training to wield a sword in his teeth like Zoro. He’s got the ultimate jaw strength. Keep up the good work guys.
Nah, he just needs to drink more milk.
8 years of training plus learning armament haki.
Unfortunately the live action one piece didn't show much of zoros training as a child. He would train while carrying a weight in his mouth all throughout his child hold for about 10years before he started using a sword in his mouth. Zoro has neck and jaw muscles like a beast
Personally for me, Live Action doesn't do much good.
This is the most fun video I've ever seen. This was hilarious and I'm a One Piece super fan. Great video guys.
6:21
Thats the 0.5% Poison damage that looks useless at first but comes in very clutch at rare occasions😂
Cant wait to see how functional this one is lol.
And it’s also great to see shad so lively and energetic.
Optimistic Shad for the win!!!
This was a really fun one. Cheers guys.
I saw the One Piece Live action and it was awesome. It has sold me to start the anime/manga for it
As silly as the concept is, I really do love that you guys did an episode on it. I've found that by exploring the absurd, you can sometimes come out of it with some actually good insight.
This is what I needed Shad. Thank you. 😂
Shad's excitement the like twice it worked is why I love this channel.
From the little I've seen of One Piece, Zoro doesn't swing the mouth sword, thats what the 2 hand swords are for. When he uses the mouth sword, he either uses it defensively, positioning himself so an enemy's momentum carries them into the mouth blade while he slices with the 2 hand blades at the same time, or, he dashes forward and uses the speed and strength of his forward movement to force the swords into the enemy while also slashing with the 2 hand swords. In this way, if he had the strength in his jaw to resist the force of the mouth sword hitting thiungs, its... plausible... I guess. Its very rule of cool style over substance.
But it does strike an imposing figure... I could see an intimidation factor.
Exactly this
@@Zal0vid zorro style at least its better the Bee from naruto
@@Marveryn infinitely better
@@Marveryn I think everyone can agree that Bee's style is some kind of ninjutsu, not just a style
Using three swords is not the same as using Three Sword Style.
what about 4 sword style
It doesn't matter how many swords you have... if you don't know three-sword style...
@@kevinmorriceyour butthole won't like that one
@@kevinmorricelike a giraffe....? 🤔
@@kevinmorrice There is indeed a fellow in One Piece who uses "4 sword style". I'd like to see Shad and company test it, lol.
Ya know, assuming people can kick wind blades in real life.
This was a funny episode 😂 im glad you guys enjoyed onepiece live action. funnily enough the Actor mackenyu also hurt his mouth (and said he cut his mouth a few times) from using the 3 sword style. It's definitely not practical in the least but its a pretty cool idea in a fiction setting lol.
Perfect timing, i’ve just been binge watching the series
Glad to see Shad is feeling so full of vim and vigor after his recent trip
Lots of basic human instincts on display in this one. The primal urge to put something in one's mouth, the chameleon effect of grabbing things handed to you, and most importantly: more sword = more damage (to one's teeth, but that's besides the point).
I was waiting patiently for this one.
Hahaha. I never thought someone would actually try to see if it would work that's amazing. The hair dye is on point as well.
I've always just imagine that the 3rd blade it just used to abuse the fact that you need to block the first 2 and them some how block the third. Same idea as Zoro's later revealed technique that we've only seen twice now. Sure the others aren't real, but if you block the wrong one you're already dead.
They are real though, at least for a moment
A few notes about Zoro: He picked up, or rather made up, "three-sword style" as a kid in a dojo for aspiring young sworsdmen and women, on the basis that "If swords are strong, then having more swords will make me stronger!" He came up with his unusual (and scorned) solution to address the gap in skill between himself and the sensei's daughter, who was both a rival and mentor to him, and a friend, who he never had the chance to beat in a bout of swords before her tragic death. She encouraged him to become stronger his own way, and it was this that emboldened him to make his silly little stunt turn into something he could fight and win with, even against stronger opponents.
Fast forward many years, and he's fighting alongside the rest of the Strawhats at Dressrosa. Here, he shows off in a fight with Pica, a man whose powers include turning to stone, as well as controlling stone he comes into contact with (leading to a point where he becomes a colossal stone giant, threatening to crush thousands to death with one hand.) One of One Piece's fantasy elements is "Haki", which is akin to something like ki, chi, or chakra in other media, a form of energy that can be harnessed and controlled by people (famously used in the Dragonball universe to increase physical strength or fire off powerful energy blasts), and Zoro has recently become able to use one form of Haki called Armament Haki. This sort of Haki allows someone to either enhance parts of their body used for physical attacks, or project the energy into a carried weapon to make its effects greater.
One of Zoro's favorite three-sword style attacks involves holding one in his mouth (facing to his right) and twirling the other two blades in his hands to create a field of cutting power in front of him. A superhuman ally with the ability to throw things prodigious distances launches Zoro across the several-mile distance from their location to Pica's, and Zoro charges up his attack; part of this entails him coating all three blades with Armament Haki. Why I think this sort of thing helps is that, clearly a human-sized sword shouldn't be able to cut the mountain-sized Pica (which is exactly what happens) with its own blade length, but channeled destructive energy in the shape of a much larger blade, shaped by the blades held by the user, could presumably pull it off. In this case, Zoro proves his younger self right: Having two blades only lets him channel his Haki into the two, but carrying a third one lets him channel that energy into an additional source. Obviously a completely fantasy idea, but presumably, he wouldn't even really need to 'swing' the sword in his mouth, as it would essentially be there only to carry and amplify his cutting power while flying past, or through, an enemy. For that matter, another kind of Haki is used as armor or physical bracing, which could help him keep from snapping his own neck on a physical impact, or having all of his teeth yanked out.
The short version is, with the ability to channel destructive energy beyond the physical implement of his sword, the physical drawbacks of trying to actually hit someone with a sword held in his mouth would be mostly negated, and if having an additional sword to channel through is simply a force multiplier at that point, it's actually a stroke of genius, even if it was not the original intent. Of course, that fantasy aspect doesn't make it any more plausible for a real-life fighter, but it does mean that, in context, while it was a (rightly) scorned, flawed fighting style founded on a false hope, it eventually came into its own as one of the strongest offensive forces in the Strawhats' ranks. There's a reason he's Luffy's right hand man.
I should add that I'm not a fanatic over One Piece; I've read through the manga, watched a bit of the anime, so I'm merely familiar with it, and I'm sure there's people more qualified than me to 'nerd out' about it.
Bro writes 4 paragraphs before saying he's not a fanatic over one piece and merely familiar with it 😂😂
Joking, your explanations are great 👍
@@poeticalllarmy7855 I've seen far more cringe explanations of characters within the One Piece universe, and I've never been a huge fan of the series; my greatest praise for it is, in fact, that I've never seen another artist expend so much work on making visually unique, completely irrelevant, unnamed side characters for almost every sequence and every scene that are either killed off or never seen again. It's like Star Trek's "Redshirt Curse" turned up to eleven.
@@noahloyd9176 Sorry if I said something wrong
@@poeticalllarmy7855 Not at all, I know what the text wall looks like, haha.
@@noahloyd9176That's a very weird praise considering that the opposite is actually true, almost every well-designed "random" side character comes back eventually and is relevant. The primary example being somebody like Buggy The Clown who's legit one of the major players in the story now.
Nice that you tested it!
"What is better than 2 swords? 3 swords" Ok guys, that Shadiversity is clearly Oda.
Something i kinda want to add to the other comments here is that when zoro uses certain attacks with 3 swords he does this interesting tactic of “offsetting” his point of the strike. This can be seen in the anime especially when zoro fights Mihawk. His attack has a focal point where he makes a “star” with the swords to the side of him. By doing this in addition to not really swinging the sword with his neck/mouth, then he is able to attack while almost moving his body out of the way since most people tend to have the clash point for the swords directly in front of them. By doing this also gives potential to have more leverage in a clash
The opposite of everything you just said is true. Offsetting the point of strike gives you less leverage not more.. the further from your teeth the hit is on the sword the harder it is on your teeth and neck. Besides that, having the sword on one side, just means as opponent you would simply attack from the other side, rendering the third sword totally obsolete...
The only way this makes sense is in a story where the starting point is that you have a character who is always as strong or fast as he needs to be to pull off the rule of cool. Especially in anime where they skip frames where you could actually see what happened.
This is a plot first situation. The only reason he lost to Mihawk but basically wins against everyone else is because the plot says mihawk is the best swordsman and Zoro the second best.
Justifying the physics after makes it just look silly...
Yeah, that ain't how leverage works man
Glad to see you boys having fun with these videos. Jolly good!
Thank you for your work and to be yourself.
This has been my favorite episode so far. So many laughs!
4:25
*"HUAH HA HA!!!"*
Thanks for making me laugh out in public Shad! 😂
6:20
THIS EPISODE'S HILARIOUS LOL
This channel is great! Love the content ❤
18:45 Really just said “get stronger teeth” and nodded at the screen like that was a valid argument.😂
It's a weird day when I see that title on a Shadiversity video on my subscription tab. Still though, very fun watch! You guys made my morning a good one!
Love seeing you get to do this content, Shad! Loved the castle videos in the UK. Is there a castle or keep design that you would use as a basis for the best defense if you constructed a castle yourself?
3:26 Wait a minute there Tyranth, let's not forget episode 1. Zoro has Morgan pinned to the ground by the hands. Zoro uses his sword to make Morgan keep his head up so Luffy can knock him out. So Zoro actually used his 3rd sword very effectively by realizing it's limits. All he has to do is worry about disabling his opponent, which is much easier if you are able to lock both hands and still attack. Normally you can't grapple like that because you need at least 1 hand free to continue the attack, but the 3rd sword in the mouth frees you of that limitation.
That's why they said a headbutt would normally suffice for that kind of situation 🤭 Which, in reality ia absolutely true and literally what Luffy later does to Kuro - disable his sword hands and then use his head to knock him out. The mouth sword really only makes sense in a setting where you can take the full force of a blow on that sword without any damage to yourself, which is true for the OP world, but definitely not of real life 😅
I love your guys’ attitude! “Everyone knows it’s stupid, but we will give it a genuine test.”
Thanks for making me feel insanely old this day sir!! I am half asleep and read it as Zorro, then saw a katana in your mouth and thought "has he lost his mind?"
It's really comforting to know that Shad enjoyed the show. :)
Gold... absolute gold
wanted to see shadiversity talk about zoro ever since i started watching, never clicked on a video so fast 😂❤
If you all are looking for another random anime fighting style, look into Mifune from Soul Eater. He basically carries a ridiculous amount of katanas in a side sling that he uses and either discards or re-sheaths, and he has a habit of using them off the battlefield as well after trying to maneuver his opponents next to the "disgarded" swords. Fair amount of potential for an episode there.
The other use of this I can think of is Raiden in MGS4 fighting with the sword in his mouth because he had no arms.
But he also had a cyborg jaw and body at that point, so it makes a bit more sense.
Oddly enough this is perhaps the only way I could justify it.
Does this mean classes are in session again? Seriously enjoy your content Shad.
It was satisfying to see that the part of the video that was replayed the most was the part that made me laugh the hardest
I miss the behind the scenes content. Just dont have the money to spare anymore. Someday, i hope to be able to support the channel again. But for now, I'll keep cheering you on. Keep up the amazing content!❤
That was really funny and mean. Awesome prank with the 3rd sword around 6 minutes in.
I've been waiting for this.
I have to ask, just because it's driving me crazy - you guys have *actually* seen how Zoro fights with the three sword style, right? He doesn't fight by turning his head and all that... he just dashes into his opponents faster than the eye can see, cutting them in one motion and reappearing behind them. He (for the most part) keeps his head straight towards his opponent at *all times*. He has the power to cut mountains in half from wind pressure alone - holding a sword in his teeth is equivalent to us holding a toothpick in our teeth.
Something to remember is a lot of his three sword attacks assume he is moving. This overcomes the range of motion limitation. It is used as a friction cut, not a smashing cut. The downside of this is it is predictable what side you will strike on but if you can create an opening using the hand blades and enough force or skill, then you create an opening for a neck spin cut or a dashing upward or downward or axially spinning cut. You also have to remember Zoro has insane jumping capacity. A sliding cut doesn't require much force at all. Think kitchen knife with serrated edge.
I should note this also explains why zoro uses exercises where he holds heavy weights in his mouth, its to build neck stability and strength
Shad's biting onto that sword while doing three-sword styles is totally jaw-dropping
I imagine this video is going to make me laugh. After all, there is no real way to test Zoro’s sword style. The dude curls like 2,000 lbs. I have no idea how strong his jaw must be, but I’m guessing a crocodile would be envious 😂
My favorite part is: "so do you think" NO "that if you" NO... Lol! The banter is amazing!
He creates cutting whirlwinds, has ranged swordstrikes and cuts through metal, from other swords to cannonballs (mid-flight), so the three swords are hardly the only thing that's slightly unrealistic.
Plus, his training regime even before the current chapters was insane, not that it would work IRL.

I kinda love the idea of a helmet with a sword attached. Probably a terrible idea but its interesting
A neck braking lever for your opponent, how thoughtful of you.
How much do I have to donate for you to release the video showing your dentists face when you explain why your there?
*comment about zoro training his jaw for years* lmao
Loved how fun this video was xD
Tyranth "Hit his mouth with your sword."
Nate "That sounded weird."
Lols!
So fun fact: there is actually a lore reason why this works in One Piece and doesn't irl. At least in the anime.
It is explicitly shown that one can strengthen, repair, and even regrow bone in One Piece simply by consuming high-calcium foods like milk. The character Brook (a skeleton) repairs a crack in his skull this way. Luffy also is confirmed to routinely regrow knocked out teeth using this method. Presumably, Zoro consumes a high calcium diet and whatever damage is done to his teeth is repaired via this method.
Imagine a guy who can grow back broken bones by intravenous injection of milk, like some funny version of Bane.
These videos are getting more deranged and I'm here for it.
This video is so much fun just on pure spectacle.
Wow, I love the hood with the liripipe! Let's see more of that.
I’m pretty sure there isn’t a time where he visually uses the mouth sword actively, other than his fight with Mihawk. Any time he has it in his mouth it’s implied he used it for the attack.
I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword.

Jesus approves of the sword in mouth technique
I used to watch your content a while ago, didn’t expect to come back because of one piece lol
Finally answering the important questions.
IIRC Zoro has a lot of spinning and dashing moves to more effectively use the third sword and to make up for it blocking him from making some attacks (e.g. overhead slashes).
Though I've seen him do overhead slashes, but he times it with his head turning around when he makes a slash so it doesn't get in the way.
You guys should talk about Inosuke’s swords from demon slayer. Always wondered how useful a giant parrying dagger would actually be
verily
This is what I'm talking about! The anime crossover content I needed.
Its been almost 30y of one piece. It took one live action to finally have this discussed in style on youtube. Lol
Zoro is the character that asks why use one sword when you use two or three or even nine?🤣
take a moment to imagine a 2 handed vertical chop striking the flat of your mouth-katana near the tip, but not so near the tip that the swords flex can dissipate the force. im pretty sure it would straight up break the jaw so zoro must be packing alligator levels of biteforce and bridge cables for neck muscles to withstand anyone hitting that sword full force
he trained since he was a child, theres scenes of him at like 8 or 9 lifting small boulders via ropes with nothing but his teeth. while practicing swings with the other two blades.
When they do the debunking of fantasy weapons or actual weapons used in the way they use in fantasy.
Shad and his friends go from Shadiversity to medieval myth busters.
The intro.😂 love this series
the fact Shad thought of deep troughing the handle and it was actually moderately effective
