Rondo of a Fragile Blade
On December 9, 2022; Shivata came to Nezha in Taran to have his «Stout Brand» enhanced with heaviness. However, Nezha used Quick Change to replace Shivata's broadsword with a duplicate that no longer had any strengthening attempts left. Nezha then attempted to enhance the sword, causing it to break, thus tricking Shivata into believing that he had lost his sword. Shivata showed remarkable restraint and left with minimal complaint to Nezha.

On December 14, 2022; Nezha admitted to having sold Shivata's «Stout Brand».

Trivia

 * A «Stout Brand» is as rare as a «Wind Fleuret», if not slightly more rare.
