Lol why are you absolutely furious over this?
No, I'm not saying that there's some gargantuan Ace level reveal here. If there was Oda wouldn't be basically spoiling it in a SBS.
But it is pretty clear that Zoro's, if not a Shimotsuki, a descendant of the Wano ship that went to East Blue.

Why bother then?
This is the equivalent of saying One of the pirate crews that Fujitora dropped Dressrosa on was Franky's family. Okay that's a reveal so what?
The reason Oda is revealing this stuff in an SBS is because it's not Zoro's past. It's Kuina's past. And that only matters because it explains how Zoro is gonna tame Enma is a week yet no one in Wano ever could beside Oden.
Theres no need for a flashback regarding Zoro's swords. Oda is actually going out of his way to make sure every single one of Zoro's swords gets actually origin story sure once this is Wano but he won't give them a fuckin flashback. We don't get a flashback of where the Kitetsu blade curse came from. We just get one panel of Tenguyama introducing himself as Kitetsu and then one other panel Tenguyama safe he made Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu and that's it. Zoro shouts "really" and thats the end of that. Zoro doesnt even ask why the sword is cursed because who cares.
Same thing happens when Tenguyama literally mentions Zoro's hometown. Like Zoro hears the name of his ow home town when Tenguyama tells him about Shimotsuki and he says "okay." And promptly doesn't care.
So what are we supposed to do with all this? I mean Zoro doesnt care. Why should we? Everything is vet clearly getting tied up as just Zoro's swords' orginal stories. Why make a big deal out of it? Just so that you know???
