The history behind the sword
Shuusui originally belonged to Shimotsuki Ryuma, the samurai and national hero of Wa no Kuni. In this isolated island nation in the New World, Shuusui is considered a national treasure.
Geko Moria raided Shimotsuki Ryuma's tomb 23 years before the current events of the Anime and Maga and stole Ryuma's corpse and his katana. His goal was to resurrect Ryuma as a zombie to force the legendary samurai to fight for him.
On the Thriller Bark, Zoro encountered the resurrected Ryuma, who had been turned into a zombie with the help of Brook's shadow, and fought a fierce battle with him. After the defeat, Ryuma bequeathed Shuusu to Zoro and said he was content with him as his sword master.
From then on, Shuusui stayed with Zoro for some time, including his two years of training under the supervision of Hawk Eyes Mihawk. During this time, Shuusui became his favorite sword. It served the three-sword swordsman well in numerous fights against increasingly strong opponents.
During his time in Wan, Shuusui was eventually stolen by Gyukimaru. Who returned the national treasure of his homeland to Ryuma's grave. In order for Shuusui to remain in Wa no Kuni, Kozuki Hiyori parted with her own Great Grade Enma Sword and offered it to Zoro as a replacement for Shuusui. He finally accepted and finally parted ways with Shuusui.
