    Bravura may derive from the origin of the word rather than the "definition" given.

    - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bravura -

    "Italian, literally, bravery, from bravare to show off — more at bravado"

    So it's possible that the Axe is named for the sense of "Bravery" of fighting off against monster without a shield and tanking at the same time lol.

    In classical music, a bravura is a virtuosic passage intended to show off the skill of a performer, generally as a solo, and often in a cadenza. It can also be used as an adjective ("a bravura passage", "her bravura piece"), or to refer to a performance of extraordinary virtuosity. The term comes from the Italian language for Bold.


    So we're like dancers... without dances... with an axe... but no dancing uniforms... /criesbecauseofthenothavingdancesanduniforms
