Current Events So who is going to get Nidai Kitetsu?

@BossYimz Because a crack on a swordsman blade is a stain on said swordman’s pride doesn’t mean if it happens it’s the end of the world. It just means said swordsman still has a lot of leeway for growth. In this world & also in the world of ONE PIECE, there’s always someone better (heck we just got introduced to the pinnacle of armament Haki which would most certainly break most blades given it can get through the defenses of monsters like Kaidou & BM) Moreover, Zoro isn’t the current WSS and has still got a bit to go before he gets there meaning there still quite a few folks stronger than him.
Zoro breaking his sword is an awesome opportunity for him to grow so I don’t get what’s so wrong with that. This is just speculation, but given the amount of emphasis put on the fact that Shusui is near unbreakable & the revelation this arc that said sword is a black blade, chances are that Shusui is unmbreakable because it is a black blade. If Zoro Sandai gets broken, it might be the catalyst for Zoro creating a black blade to prevent it from happening again, so is it really a bad thing?

The one who made Sandai is Heitetsu himself, and he's the one who has Nidai now, so there is no need for a sword to break, it's all in the hands of Heitetsu and Zoro to exchange one for another specially since Zoro will end up having many people in Wano admiring him, Heitetsu is no different, he might be the one to suggest an exchange to begin with, and Zoro may agree considering the swords belong to Heitetsu to begin with (not to mention, it's a power up, so no complaint)
It has nothing to do with Zoro's wishes and everything to do with his development. Zoro didn't want to be trained by his arch rival, but he had to because it would allow him to progress the most in the next 2 years to help Luffy. All of that would be for nothing if his swords broke against an opponent who gives him even the slightest bit of trouble. An upgraded sword won't patch this up because it would only mean his haki wasn't good enough to protect his blades, and Oda has given us 0 indication that's the case.
