Now I wonder what other kinds of competitive murdergames Kaguya and Mokou partake in.

On another note, I just had the (re-)realization that the Japanese names of the games are really cool, especially some of the recent games like Bright Needle Fortress (DDC), Tale of the Ultramarine Orb (LoLK), and Jade Scepter of the Skies (HSiFS).

...Now that I think about it, what is the Jade Scepter that HSiFS's Japanese title refers to?

I look up "jade scepter" and I found the chinese scepters named ruyi.

I look up "season scepter" and I got ewoks. what.

Murdering time and space. Now on Twitter.

"Season Scepter" didn't first lead to Legend of Zelda? Huh.

"Tale of the Ultramarine Orb", eh? Think that relates to the lunar capital Occult Ball, or is it some specific thing about the moon itself?

[up]Didn't the Ultramarine Orb refers to the elixir Eirin gave to the protagonists?

[up][up]Following that wikipedia link:

Nyoi-jizai 如意自在 "as-desired carefree, completely free and unconstrained" is the name of a yōkai spirit in Toriyama Sekien's 1781 AD Gazu Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro

Possible boss? Feels kind of a stretch though.

Ah, so it is.

Of course, now I'm wondering how the elixir got the name.

[...] The latter theory is that ruyi originated as a backscratcher in early China, and was amalgamated with the Buddhist symbol of authority. Davidson (1950:239) suggests "as desired" signifies a backscratcher owing to "its apparent ability to reach otherwise inaccessible areas of the human body".

Now I totally want HSIFS to somehow be centered around a bunch of people fighting for a "magic scepter" that turns out to just be a backscratcher.

...Now that I think about it, what is the Jade Scepter that H Si FS's Japanese title refers to?

A) You don't seriously expect us to know that yet, do you? B) That's actually a really obscure kanji and I have some doubts about translating it like that

"Tale of the Ultramarine Orb", eh? Think that relates to the lunar capital Occult Ball, or is it some specific thing about the moon itself?

Keeping in mind that "ultramarine" is a questionable translation of a kanji that can mean blue or purple, there's a lot of things that the title could refer to. In-universe, kanju is the future-sight medicine, though

I'm partial to that Seija picture, too. I like the stark, flat yellow of their eyes standing out.
