==History==
===John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum===
The wakizashi was the weapon of choice of Zero and his students. When John Wick was declared excommunicado by Winston for killing Santino D'Antonio on company grounds, a High Table Adjudicator hired Zero to punish the Director for helping Wick get to Casablanca, using his short sword.
The Adjudicator also had Zero and his students take out several of the Bowery King's men for refusing to abdicate his position as punishment for arming Wick, again using their short swords. Zero notably cut the King seven times.
When John Wick returned to New York City, Zero's students attacked him on their motorcycles, and armed themselves with their short swords in synchronicity. However, Wick was able to defend himself, even disarming their swords to use against them. As Wick entered the Continental, he chose to spare Winston rather than kill him and be absolved of his transgressions to the High Table. As such, the Adjudicator sent High Table emissaries against him in a prolonged shootout. However, Wick still had to face Zero's students. He killed them and took one of their swords, except for the Shinobi, and used one of the wakizashis to kill Zero.
