Talk:Half-dead Blood Axe

Wrong Tranliteration
After some good research to show that "shishi" or even "Shishi" (often used for patriot, organization) is wrong for the transliteration about 血啜の獣斧, even.

(しし) stands for:
 * 獅子(しし) - archaic transliteration for lions
 * 獅子(しし) - koma inu/dogs that you see at Shinto temples
 * 獣(しし)  - one used for its meat, such as a boar or a deer; meat of "beasts" like wild boars and deers (also referred as large beasts), because is a reference to eatable beast meat

However, the most correct transliteration for this weapon, is "Chisisu Kemono Ono" (I won't say 100% correct, because it's name contains made-up words, but 90%), because it's referring to it's bestial aspect and to the user that's also considered a beast.

獣 is always read as けもの (any kind of monster/beast) or けだもの (a person emotionally deprived, unscrupulous, monstrous individuals, murderers, rapists, barbarians and other things).

So, the actual grotesque meaning is "Blood-sipping Bestial(Meat) Axe.", in other words, we can eat the axe.
