This big loredump was probably handled a lot better in the (light) novel source material and didn't really transfer over all too well into an anime format, but it's obvious that a lot of effort was put into the lore and world-building in this story. If the rumors/leaks of a 20-episode run turn out to be true, we should have plenty of time to unravel the mysteries that have been set up.

I liked that too, haha!

Last episode we already saw that plant/flower squid sea creature, now they speak of growing swords. This makes me think that many things in that world go off a plant based theme and don't get born or produced from materials like in our world, but instead have to be grown from a seed. A sword possibly needs a lot of nourishment (maybe it's owner's life force?) which may be the reason it's so fatal when it breaks.

Or it's much simpler than that and they just use different words to describe the production process. lol
