*SevenDeadlySins: The namesakes of 6 main Titans in both Japanese and English, though it works slightly differently in each. The Japanese names are the Latin words for the sins as they are, whereas the English version opts to use names derived from words for the sin or related terms in multiple different languages. For example, Superbia, Latin for pride, becomes Mor Ardain, derived from ''ardan'',the Scottish Gaelic word for pride. Similary, Gula, Latin for Gluttony, becomes Gormott, derived from the French word for a gluttonous person, ''gormand''.
