Centrally along the front and back sides of the guard are rectangular grooves filled with a swirly sprig relief for detail. In particular, the guard constitutes a thick, continuous bar perfectly right-angled to the blade, flat on all sides with a rectangular cross-section, but on each end being forked recurved up and down like a cross moline. The golden crossguard is extremely long to the sides, such that on Mihawk's back, especially seen from the front, the sword resembles a crucifix. The bandage-wrapped grip (white in the manga, grayish in the anime) has on its top a large and round cabochon of red (blue in the anime) color to serve as the pommel, being set into a circular, golden mount. Yoru's hilt is more than suitable for two-handed use at almost half the blade's length (though its length portrayal is inconsistent).

While not in use, due to lacking a scabbard, Yoru is held upside-down against Mihawk's back by two simple holding loops integrated into the man's coat. It has a total length of well over two meters (being over a head taller than Mihawk, who stands at 198 cm, when placed on his back). A Western-looking sword, Yoru is a cruciform and well-ornated weapon with a curved, single-edged, black blade-resembling an oversized kriegsmesser.
