"This isn't exactly something I can teach in one session, neither over the internet with easiness."

- Green Moriyama

Looking back at what I was saying, I am unable to understand who you are as a person through a computer screen, as it inhibits my capability to appropriately socialize with you in ways that would be more appropriate in showing such sentiments. While technology is doing its best to make sure such issues do not arise, I still find it hard here and there to see through the true intentions of others without knowing them more personally (and you can tell I think like an aged man instead of the youngster I'm supposed to be).

I will apologize foremost if what I had said were either harsh or blunt. I also notice that most of my intentions were not as clear as I had intended (I teach in a classroom which is a much more environment than a message wall). It also shows that I still have much to learn to avoid this kind of delivery and do my best to avoid it when possible.

I do not know if you are a maniac or a chuuni, as those are the only terms at the moment I can depict people who are trying to invest their time into the Japanese culture to such a level: you either are investing good time, or you are taking your time to just learn what seems to be "legitimate" of the culture. It does not mean that that is your label.

If it's a Japanese wannabe in a fighting game who is aiming for more flowery than cool names, then that does help me understand what you are seeking in the names.


 * English has been hard to deal with at times. It's somewhat easier for those who speaks a language of latin roots, but for myself and others similar to myself, we have mentioned countless times how decrepit the language can be at times, especially when spoken. Take note, this is for American English, and isn't as much of an issue when it comes to other forms of the (I myself learnt British English first, so that's hasn't been much of an issue).
 * When you say "Stolen Sword," do you refer to "Stolen Fist"? I ask because in Japanese, "ken" can be also written as "拳" which means "fist" or "martial art style."
 * If it's past participle　"盗まれた" (nusumareta) would be correct. When doing so, you take the verb, change its last character into an "a" and add "reta" to create the Japanese term (exa. nusumu -> nusuma -> nusumareta).
 * Otherwise, if you are trying to emulate a "sword" that had stolen a given art off from someone, then "窃盗の剣" (settou no ken; Sword of Thievery) is one and "盗まれた技" with "技"　written as.
 * In Japanese, "心" (kokoro) means both "heart" and . It's commonly depicted as "heart" since the alternatively used kanji for "soul" is "魂" (tamashi), in the case both are used solely on their own. But, when used in conjunction with other characters, "心" is often used. It also holds a deeper meaning than "魂" which refers to a ghostly/spiritual spirit than a "beating heart"/ spirit.
 * Some names I did not touch as much since some were alright. Deviation as they were, they didn't need to be corrected.
 * Stop being nitpicky. It may not seem like it, but reverse is reverse. >.>
 * Game manuals and booklets online have their own way of making names. And each translation is done by a different translator. I won't say that I'm right or they're wrong, because neither are true. If there was a set way of translating such terms... then language in games would not have the liberties they need.
 * If Lord Enma ever had to do such a thing, he has a backlog of at least thirty-thousand people for butchering the language. Now that's beside the point. If it comes to names (which I mistaken your question as being more general), I would recommend having someone look at them still. Someone with knowledge of how pre-Meiji names were like. You may attempt it, but to do so on your own would not be recommended.
 * If you are going by theme here (which I presume is "-i), Zen'i should work (pronounced "Zen-ee"). As a name, it's a bit odd, but definitely within the realms of possible names (hey, look at my name, which is "gurin", read as "Green" and written as "供林"). In this case, a rework is not strictly necessary.
 * I still believe it would be well in learning Japanese into your . It could help understand the language better as you look through the dictionary. Compare it to me, where as much as I know multiple languages, to be able to comprehend well three separate languages is desirable. I'm native in English and Japanese, and all other languages are only applicable for general communication.

I will apologize again if my words made ill of your work so far. It was not my intention, and I wish I could witness it with better comprehension than through the screen of my computer. I also hope that these replies have not made ill of your impression of me. If you ever need help, I will gladly offer my service.
