Same-kiri Bocho
ItemSame-kiri Bocho, the Shark Cleaver, is the zanbato Marine officer Bastille adopted after the timeskip. Resembling an enormous kitchen cleaver, the blade was shattered by Sabo the very first time it saw use, leaving its true powers unknown.
Overview
This large zanbato became Bastille's chosen weapon in the post-timeskip era. Its broad blade is fashioned much like a cleaver, with a string tassel knotted at the base of the handle. The name renders as Shark Cut Cleaver.
Function
Bastille most likely owes his epithet, Shark Cutter, to this sword. Its capabilities, however, were never demonstrated, since the blade broke during its very first appearance in combat, leaving nothing else known about what it could do.
