    Only other suggestion would be Hissatsu as "Killing Technique or Secret Technique"
    Yeah, I know. However, for this specifically, I wanted to translate the words themselves as accurately as I could (although that's already a whole 'nother can o' worms...). Maybe I should make a second set of translations where I aim for names you could actually put in-game... Hmm...
    If I had actually aimed for that, I probably would have called Meikyo Shisui "As still water" or something like that.
    Jinpu/Gust could also be written out as Sudden Wind (sounds kinda clunky, any idea for a better word?). Most of the basic weaponskills are something-wind. Hence I'd want to also make Hakaze stay with that theme. Maybe Cutting Wind?
