Diamond is unbreakable

Diamonds are actually breakable, and not all that hard to break, if you hit them along the right axis. Diamond cutters use chisels, and that's enough to split a diamond.

I think you’re thinking of “unscratchable”. Diamonds are extremely hard and nearly impossible to scratch. But hardness is usually a trade off with elasticity, so they are also very brittle and therefore pretty “easy” to break.

Only if you buy them from the same place as your anime blu-rays.
