There's nothing in the text outright saying it, but I feel it's implicit they can't be broken? They're sacred holy swords, and the possibility of their breaking is never brought up. The closest you've got is Daishinji and his lineage being swordsmiths that work on them, but I imagine that's more along the lines of keeping the blades sharp.

The Seikens after Saikou and Kurayami were made by human hands. Daishinji's family being the ones who forged the three Swordriver Seikens, Rekka being the first. I imagine Suzune was the last.

We're also not sure what happens if you destroy a sword. But I imagine one can just pluck the "energy" the Seiken generates after its destroyed and use it for the ritual, since one doesn't really need the physical part of the sword for the ritual.

So I'm finally watching the series and I'm up to episode 9 and I gotta say. Everything feels so...rushed and random? Like it's constantly switching scenes with like no context. People and enemies suddenly appear and everything happens so fast. Compared to like Zio or Zero-one I can't really follow the story of this at all and each episode feels so disjointed if that makes any sense.

It definitely feels rush. You're not alone in feeling that way. Things do get better, but I wouldn't say monumentally so.

I certainly feel like Saber was a series that the writer(s) really wanted to get through the exposition to get to the meat of the show. Saber just has a ton of setup and characters and enemies to establish. Whether its too much is up to the viewer, but the general consensus is there's a lot going on.

I blame COVID for all that's happening. Nothing seems to be going in motion fast enough or so.

Yes, that what a lot would say about Saber's first parts. Your enjoyment for the rest of the show depends on how much you can stomach all of it until the Q2 rider's appearance. His appearance and how the character dynamics are rearranged on that point on is them improving on the show.

Yeah, I could barely follow the first quarter either. It gets drastically better later on though, after episode 15. You just gotta power through that first bunch of really bad episodes to get to something surprisingly good

[Enchilada645]

In terms of stuff I'd also blame, I'd probably put blame on Bandai being very pushy on just how much stuff was put into Quarter 1 this year. There was a lot... and I mean a lot of toys in Quarter 1 that had to be sold and thus weaved into the narrative at a rapid pace.

[Fredbob392]

Oh, I definitely blame Bandai more than Fukuda, any writer would struggle to fit such an absurd amount of toys in that short a time

[Kurona]

I'm a little thankful Saber's toyline seems to have done worse than previous years. Maybe there's a small chance we'll get one less driver in the next season
