Ni and san are already supposed to refer to 2nd and 3rd as the both of them are part of a set of three swords. So personally I'm really not going to put much value on that coincidentally there's an ichi in Ichimonji, in particular because it's not translated as one. We're over 900 chapters far now, so I would find it a bit pointless from Oda to now suddenly have Zoro three swords that say one, two, three.About the swords, I think he will lose Shusui because it's clearly is going to play a bigger part later on. If you looks at the names of the blades and Oda swaps Shuisui for Nidai Kitetsu he'll end up with:
Wado Ichimonji
Niidai Kitetsu
Sandai Kitetsu
Might be nothing, might be one of those little Oda details.
Another thing that popped into my mind, there is so much hunger in parts that are controlled by Kaidou's forces. Maybe a calamity is in control of that, like... famine ?
Yeah it's time the discussion about the Three Calamities is resumed, it got pushed back somewhat due to WCI-arc. Honestly their epithet sounds threatening, but I felt it kind of weird how someone with a mammoth zoan gets called "the Drought". Famine definitely fits the profile of a calamity, though it really feels off. I mean imagine something donning the name Bert the Famine. Also famine is often a result of a drought. So to me it lacks impact and uniqueness. My personal favorite though remains one of them being named the Plague.
