Todd's Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction

Main

Attack List

Well, here are the translations for the attacks and fighting styles I made up. Please be aware that I do not read, write, or speak Japanese. That said, I tried my best to make these make some kind of sense. I came up with the English first and tried to make the Japanese match it as closely as I could, and I'm sure I made some errors. Almost all of these are made entirely with kanji, so you probably wouldn't be able to just look the words up in a dictionary and get the same translations. I used the Random House Japanese-English English-Japanese Dictionary by Seigo Nakao (1997) and Kanji & Kana Revised Edition by Hadamitzky and Spahn (1997) to do these.

           Stylistically, I generally follow the conventions of the subtitles on the Anime Works DVDs and videos. Specific attack names get italicized; fighting styles (whether kenjutsu or another type of fighting) and weapon names do not. Also, any time I put a new story up, I will be sure to get the new attacks on here as soon as possible. Someday I might expand this section to include other information about the fighters, like birthday, height, weight, and blood type. If you would like to see me do that, please let me know.
