A Small Translation Question

Post by Nikkolas » Mon Mar 24, 2008 8:31 pm

I don’t know if this belongs in here so apologies if it doesn’t.

I play the Final Fantasy games and one person on another forum told me something and I wanted to check its validity and well, it seems some members here can translate Japanese. (If this is Japanese. I have no idea)

In Final Fantasy VIII, the summoned being Odin attacks with a sword move called Zantetsuken. When a boss character kills Odin, he is shown with these characters in front of his body.

The guy on the other forum claims these characters mean “Zantetsuken Reverse”. Is this correct?

Just in case it helps any, here are the characters shown when Odin’s move succeeds. What do these characters mean, just out of curiosity?

In case my shots aren’t good, here are the actual videos showing these.

Sorry; this has absolutely nothing to do with DragonBall.
