Talk:Tachi: Fudo

Fudo possible translation
Seeing as this is the twelfth weapon skill in the Great Katana line up I would assume it would be: Twelfth Style of the Tachi: Fudo.

While I can assume this much the term "Fudo" is hard to discern without the characters but from my research it seems "Fudo" may be a reference to Vajrayana Buddhism where Acala is the most well known of the Five Wisdom Kings of the Womb Realm. Acala is the destroyer delusion and is the protector of Buddhism and is known as the Fudō myōō "Immovable Wisdom King". While this is fascinating, Acala is normally seen with a sword in hand which leads me to believe the term Fudo may be a reference to Acala and his Immobility towards carnal temptations or in short Immobility (Fudo 不動).

So it leads me to believe the translation could be: Twelfth Style of the Tachi: Immobility

However, this is just pure speculation and is open for anyone to question or debate the meaning of the translation. --Cypruss 06:05, April 14, 2011 (UTC).
