Translation

See Tachi: Enpi for the translation of "Tachi:."

The original Japanese for this weapon skill is: 八之太刀・月光 (hachi no tachi: gekkou).

Tsuki (月) means "moon."

Hikari (光) means "light." Put together, 月光 is read as gekkou.

The translated name is "Eighth Style of the Tachi: Moonlight."[2]

The animation illustrates a brightly glowing moon with a thin, lime-green, outer circle. Within it, the Hebrew letters are written:

בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ

This is text from Genesis 1:1 of the Hebrew Bible meaning, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
