Regarding changing "Magic Sword Orufoyu" to "Demon Sword Olfoyu"

First the easy part. Its name, オルフォーユ, is a pun for "all for you". I wish I can come up with something more clever, but the currect version keep the pronunciation close. Second, while we usually avoid using that demon (except for the mamono race) and the other swords with 魔剣 in title are translated as magic/magical sword, but Wilmaina used to hate Olfoyu back when she was a human. She considered it a 魔剣 even before she becomes mamono and carries lot of negative emotion toward it, so I think "magic sword" is too neutral term in this case. I pick demon instead of demonic or fiendish because demons are the fiends who used to lead humans to destruction in the previous era (see Contract of Obedience), so I think "demon sword" is a good word to reflect how Wilmarina saw it back when she was a human.--Hinami (talk) 14:19, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
