| You would be better asking Zoe here, as I'm just a guy who obsessed with Anime. Still, I suppose I could tell you what I've gathered. You're not really looking for Japanese writing itself, but more Romanji translations, just for that anime style effect, ya know? Things I use on Kenshin for example - "Souryuha" "Ryuuhazan" and "Zankuusen Ni-no-Tachi" Most of these can be very odd, but it should help if all your looking for is the effect:http://www.wikiled.com/english-japaneseromajikanji-Default.aspx http://www.freedict.com/onldict/jap.html http://www.dicts.info/2/english-japanese_romaji.php If all else fails just look up your favourite Manga and Anime, then scout for attacks. You would be surprised how easy it is to find attacks that would work. Yukishiro Enishi from Rurouni Kenshin has some pretty neat move names people can use Shugeki Tōsei (蹴撃刀勢, Kicking Sword Rush) Kaishi Tōsei (回刺刀勢, Spiral Pierce Sword Rush) Shōha Tōsei (掌破刀勢, Destructive Palm Sword Rush) Chōten Tōsei (朝天刀勢, Morning Sky Sword Rush)I'm no saint, as I use attacks from Love Hina ^-^ Raimeiken (Thunderclap Sword) Zanganken (Stone-Cleaving Sword) Zanmaken (Evil-Cutting Sword) Ryuuhazan (Dragon-Breaking Sword) Zankuusen (Air-Cutting Flash)
Lets not forget the style itself, which I made from 'cool' sounding words Amatsu Battou-Ryou (Heavenly Drawn Sword Skill)Which is just really a combination of words, so it could be quite wrong. Still, its effective, and that's what we're looking for. If your looking for Bankai and Shikai names, then your best bet is to take what you can get, as they can be tricky T.T Amatsuotome (Celestial Maiden) Genkahateshi Amatsuotome (Singing Fate Celestial Maiden)See what I mean? Well, hope this dribble of mine helps T.T On a side note: Leave the Kidou naming and stuff to me, it will save you and the others the trouble, as they can be a real bitch. Kaneichi (Thousand Warship Victory) Hyakurai (Hundred Thunderclaps) Tenkyuu (Celestial Sphere) Shyukaho (Pillar of Fire) Taienchu (Imperial Flame Pillar) Doshakuzure (Landslide) Genzengun (Solemn Force)*sigh* I'm not even half away through the Kidou list either. Ah well, back to designing more Kidou and names for meeeeh T.T | |
