    I dunno. A Storm of Blood seems as appropriate for Stormblood as a House of Wife is appropriate for a Housewife.

    Honestly, I feel the name sounds really off whenever I think about it. So I just try to ignore it and go with Crimson Liberators instead - that one fits better.

    It's helped along by the fact that the game says it a few times.

Mark me─a storm of blood approaches.

    Yes, but it's still a grammatical oddity that... just seems off.

    I get where people are getting the idea from, but, uh... just call the damn thing Bloodstorm then? If you want to convey the storm of blood idea, that would be the appropriate name. It's like in Palace of the Dead: Palace Gremlin and Gremlin Palace are two veeery different things.
    The first noun describes the latter. In japanese, it would be like turning Yatsurugi no Yuki into Yuki no Yatsurugi. It drives me nuts!
