I watched a youtube a long time ago explaining that joining broken pieces of the sword like what it was shown in LoTR movie is NOT how you actually "fix" a broken sword,
instead you need to cut it up, melt it, and forge a new sword,

I like that this follows that formula,
although he skipped the melting part, and went straight to forge-weld it

The melting part isn't actually needed; most likely what you're talking about was them casting out a blank and then working from there. This is actually an inferior process unless using bronze or a similarly ductile metal; iron, for example, retains too much carbon and becomes way too brittle and is porous with voids and pits in the metal. It's impossible even to continue to forge to shape because of those defects. The method he's using here is actually the correct one; taking the fragments and turning them into a billet of material attached to the grip and lower portion of the blade that was still intact, and then forging out the blade anew; this ensures the material is properly homogenous and formed exactly as desired during further forging steps.

ah you're right
I found the youtube, they didn't melt it
it was so long ago, I don't really remember it

Having read this on July 8th, I was hoping I was seeing a new chapter on Mangadex, nope.
