    Regardless of the fact that the term "Kanji" has nothing to do with the concept of the WS whatsoever?

    You've lost me there.

    Let me repost the Graphic image idea that I had so noone asks this question again.

    "Graphic image: The Samurai performs a 360 twirl of his Great Katana while quickly thrusting the blade into the ground; flames in the image of a "Bird-like" creature ignite upon impact blazing from the ground up while engolfing the targets within reach of the weapon-skill in flames."

    Clearly the flames in the image of a "Bird-like" creature would be that oh a Phoenix, in Japan, the Phoenix is called hō-ō (kanji: 鳳凰) or fushichō (不死鳥?), literally "Immortal Bird".

    I wish I could design a video to better show what I had in mind, but this is the best I can think of and hope you guys liked it.

    The reason I chose "Kanji" for the weapon-skill name:
    In Japan, the phoenix is called hō-ō (kanji: 鳳凰) or fushichō (不死鳥?), literally "Immortal Bird".


    I like this idea very much. From one Samurai to another I approve this message! Lol

    I read and comprehended your post. Originally you had suggested a name. I questioned it. You replied with your concept again, which is something I never addressed, and you never answered my question.

    Not trying to offend anyone, but you're missing the flow of the conversation here.

    i'm pretty sure the question was because kanji refers to the symbols, not the actual word.

    I like the concept of the attack, but all Ryozen was simply meaning that kanji has nothing to do with the actual description of the attack. Kanji is a writing style in Japan and doesn't have anything to do with the description of the attack, nor does it have anything to do with the hō-ō or the fushichō. All the other great katana weaponskills have a name based on the attack animation (or in Tachi: Rana's case, the mythic weapon it's tied to), such as Tachi: Ageha showing butterflies when Ageha basically means Swallowtail butterfly, Tachi: Gekko shows a full moon and Gekko roughly means "moonlight", etc.

    Tachi: Kanji's animation would really have to be about writing characters for the name to fit
