Enpi as I said, means literally a flying swallow, although it can be basically a flying bird of any kind.
One thing I love about the Japanese version of the Great Katana Weapon skills is the title before each one. Instead of just "Tachi" each time, its literally saying the number of the technique.
Like..
The first Sword Technique: Enpi
The second Sword Technique:Hobaku etc.
The equivalent of saying..
1st Tachi: Enpi
2nd Tachi: Hobaku
3rd Tachi: Goten and so on. If it were translated exactly. I sort of wish it was, its soooooooooo budo-esque to number the techniques like that.
For Blade Ten, being named Heaven or Sky makes a ton of sense looking at the actual attack. As for Ku though....I sort of think the 9th Blade Technique is actually a pretty cool sounding. But if it means sky as in air or emptiness it could possibly mean something along the lines of a vaccum slash, something that either draws the air in and makes a vortex, or something that cuts the actual air to rip existence (Yes, along the lines of the Wind Scar Technique from Inuyasha if you were thinking that..)
It could be something along the lines of an evil sealing technique judging by the sanskirt that appears when you slash with it.
So it could also mean "Banish to Nothing", because sometimes in Japanese dialect, killing or dispatching someone can be referred to banishing them to death or nothingness.
So...it could be referring to any one of those things. Vaccum Slash, or Banish to Nothing in my opinion.
Oh also, I'ven ever had the chance to actually use the Japanese client, I've just seen the Great Katana WS names in Kanji a bit. In the japanese client, are the Katana WS's literally just one Kanji like that? No Blade, or Ken or Jutsu, or whatever surname they could have before?
Because that would actually be even more Ninja like than having each one have a title.
