Translation

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

The original Japanese for this weapon skill is: 零之太刀・回天 (rei no tachi: kaiten).

Rei (零) is the number zero.

Kaiten (回天) means "reversing/sweeping aside the heavens;" a dramatic classical term meaning "turning the tides of heaven," "changing fate," or "world-shaking upheaval."

The translated name is "Zeroth Style of the Tachi: Turning of the Heavens."[1]

Zero (零, rei) is often used in Japanese literature and media as a revolving point that eclipses the plot and events that have occurred thus far. In this sense, the final Weapon Skill has eclipsed all the others and circumnavigates back to the starting point, meaning the wielder has mastered all of what the weapon is. This point is further revisited within the meaning of the Prime Weapon Skill Tachi: Mumei.
