Tamarsamar Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Leave it to TVTropes to potentially spoil one work on a completely unrelated one. (Though I guess the more savvy really shouldn't be surprised at this.) Specifically, I was reading pages on the .hack franchise since I was feeling nostalgic, but the YMMV page gives us this gem: The Knight Templar in Twilight Bracelet, who declares herself equal to a god of The World, is named Kamui- the Ainu word for "god". Of course, given the conventions of the Fire Emblem series--they literally just pulled the Dragon God Incarnation stunt for the player character in Awakening, for starters--should anyone really be all that surprised at this development (apart from, y'know, doing it again right after Awakening)? At least they're presumably fixing that in the localization--"Corrin" apparently comes from a word meaning "spear," which has no immediate connection to the character whatsoever. Unless, like, Azura is involved or something . . . Edited June 29, 2015 by Tamarsamar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Err... If you know Japanese... it's obvious. Anonymous asked: I just googled KamuI's (inferior) english name, and it means Spear bearer. Do you think this hasany connection to Aqua? (I'm not the same Game Over guy btw) I dont think so. Robin really was picked as a more gender neutral name rather than any connection to Reflet/Rufure to Reflection. Kamui means Divine/God. Other kanji variations also use Divine and put it with Dignity or Majesty or Radiant if they dont use Divine. I think thats more meaningful than the spear bearer, considering how Kamui is associated with the Golden Sword in Aquas Japanese song.
