Kozuki Momonosuke Katana – Ame no Habakiri:One Piece's Legendary Sword

In One Piece, swords are not just tools for battle; they represent identity, will, and heritage. In the Wano Country arc, the two legendary swords 'Ame no Habakiri' and 'Enma' make a powerful appearance, gifted by Oden Kozuki to his children, Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori, symbolizing the spirit of the samurai. Today, these two legendary blades—one held by Momonosuke and the other by the swordsman Roronoa Zoro—have become iconic symbols for anime fans, with their intertwined history and fated connection.

What is Momonosuke's sword called?

Momonoosuke's sword is called 'Ame no Habakiri' (Ame no Habakiri).

Detailed Introduction to 'Ame no Habakiri':

1. Origin of the Name:

'Ame no Habakiri' is one of the divine swords in Japanese mythology, meaning 'the sword that cuts through things as light as feathers.' In One Piece, this sword is given an elevated status and great symbolic meaning.

2. Originally Held by Oden Kozuki:

Ame no Habakiri and 'Enma' were the two swords that Oden Kozuki carried during his life. Oden used these swords to fight the Yonko Kaido, even leaving a scar on Kaido, demonstrating their incredible sharpness and Oden’s swordsmanship.

3. Gifted to Momonosuke:

Later in the Wano Country arc, the renowned swordsmith Tenguyama Hitetsu officially presents Ame no Habakiri to the grown-up Momonosuke, symbolizing his inheritance of his father’s will and his responsibility to protect Wano. Although Momonosuke is still not proficient in swordsmanship, Ame no Habakiri carries Oden's will and the royal honor of the Kozuki family.

4. Alongside 'Enma,' a Great Works Sword:

Ame no Habakiri is ranked among the '21 Great Grade Swords,' on par with Enma. These two swords originally belonged together, representing the glory and fated legacy of the Kozuki family.

The Twin Sword Legacy of Oden Kozuki: Ame no Habakiri and Enma

Oden Kozuki was a legendary samurai of Wano, and his two swords, Ame no Habakiri and Enma, accompanied him in battles across the seas, even fighting against Kaido of the Beasts Pirates. Oden used these swords to leave a deep scar on Kaido, proving their extraordinary sharpness and Oden’s mastery in swordsmanship.

• Ame no Habakiri : Meaning 'the blade that cuts through the heavens,' it possesses great cutting power, symbolizing nobility, purity, and justice. It was passed down to the young Kozuki Momonosuke.

• Enma : Meaning 'the blade of the King of Hell,' it is capable of drawing out the user’s vast haki (spiritual energy), making it difficult to control. It was passed down to Kozuki Hiyori and later to Roronoa Zoro.

These two swords are the continuation of Oden’s spirit and also the symbol of the Kozuki family’s rebellion against tyranny in Wano.

Zoro and Enma: The Awakening Sword that Challenges Limits

When Zoro first took Enma, he struggled to control its haki-draining ability. But he accepted the challenge and used his own will to master the sword. Enma not only awakened Zoro’s potential but also propelled him to a higher level of swordsmanship.

Zoro’s growth and his bonding with Enma are similar to Oden’s battle with these twin swords. Now, Zoro wields Enma, while Ame no Habakiri is in the hands of Momonosuke, symbolizing the side-by-side journey of the new generation of inheritors and warriors.

The Fated Resonance of Ame no Habakiri and Enma: Dual Swords Representing Justice and Darkness, the Intersection of Destiny

As paired legendary swords, Ame no Habakiri  and Enma are not only the pinnacle of Oden Kozuki’s combat power but also represent two contrasting yet complementary forces in One Piece. These swords have not only slashed through dragons in history, leaving a shocking mark on Kaido, but they also represent two vastly different but interconnected power systems.

• Enma represents oppression and challenge: This sword possesses the ability to draw out haki from its user, leaving no room for slack. It serves as a trial by fire, constantly pushing the user to tap into their potential and transcend their limits. It is wild, difficult to tame, and a test of willpower, symbolizing "growth through refinement" and "transformation through darkness." As Zoro mastered Enma, he learned advanced swordsmanship and haki control, embodying the fusion of sword and spirit, which elevated his combat power and marked his path to evolution.

• Ame no Habakiri symbolizes hope and protection: In contrast to Enma’s ferocity and danger, Ame no Habakiri feels more sacred and solemn. Its name means "the blade that cuts through the heavens," carrying the honor of the true bloodline, signifying the removal of darkness and the arrival of light. This sword is not only a symbol of Momonosuke’s heritage as a descendant of the Kozuki family, but also a manifestation of his responsibility and beliefs—to cut down tyranny and protect the people. After it is passed to Momonosuke, it no longer represents bloodshed but instead rebirth and hope.

The duality of these swords mirrors the balance between 'yin and yang,' 'hard and soft,' 'challenge and protection.' Yet, they also represent the collaboration of fate. Together, they fulfill Oden Kozuki’s unfinished legacy, carried by the two inheritors—Zoro and Momonosuke, one an outsider who bears the samurai way of Wano, the other a royal heir growing from weakness to strength, writing a new chapter.

In the final battle of Wano, one sword slashes through dragons, while the other calms the heavens, as if sunlight and thunder ride together. The two swords shine in unison, symbolizing the balance between strength and responsibility, sacrifice and hope. They are not just weapons but a continuation of a heritage, embodying the emotional core of one of the most touching moments in this action-packed manga.

Now, these two swords belong to their respective heirs, symbolizing the transition between the old and the new era, marking a key moment in the “heirs of will” as they reach true maturity. Whether it is Zoro’s ultimate evolution of the three-sword style or Momonosuke’s awakening as a leader, these swords are integral to the miracles of their growth.
