There's no need to be so passive aggressive, we're just having a friendly discussion. :) There are no clear-cut rules for swords being related, aside from the same school or the same smith. However, as I pointed out, there are instances where they have different smiths yet are still considered brothers. It's just an interesting topic that prompted discussion, because the Sanjou school have never indicated that they see each other in a family-way like some of the other swords.

I do consider them a family, as I agree with your points. They don't have to have a smilar dress style to be considered brothers/family, that has just been the trend among the other swords that have brotherly relations. That's why it prompted discussion. ^_^
