Again, a quote from someone is the motivation.

祝融業火翻譯成INFERNO還是可以的
雖然貌似不是一回事
我們家星彩煌天成了ambition我都快哭了,就不要說月英的湖底蒼月了
龍騎尖也是啊…那個XXX fury是怎麼回事
話說封面男的豪龍膽叫什麼
...Fierce Dragon

業火 (4th weapon of Zhu Rong) translated to inferno is acceptable, though something is not right
I nearly cried when Xing Cai's 煌天 (4th weapon) is translated to ambition, and I have to say nothing of Yue Ying's 湖底蒼月 (4th weapon)
龍騎尖 (4th weapon of Ma Chao) also...What's that XXX fury? (I said this)
BTW, what is the 4th weapon of the posterboy
......Fierce Dragon



These are all literal translation (some are not exact). Not complete because not all names can be translated into English.

Xiahou Dun - 滅麒麟牙 (Qilin Ya of Doom) 牙 Ya means scimitar.
Xu Chu - 蚩尤瀑布碎 (Waterfall Suei of Chi You) 碎 Suei means hammer. 蚩尤 Chi You is a sagacious king in Chinese mythology.
Cao Cao - 倚天之奸劍 (Evil Sword of Yi Tian) In ROTK, 倚天 Yi Tian is one of the swords of Cao Cao. Another sword is 青釭 Qing Gang, which is later stolen by Zhao Yun.
Zhang Liao - 黃龍鉤鐮刀 (Gou Lian Dao of Yellow Dragon) 鉤鐮刀 Gou Lian Dao is one of the weapons in China, used to cut off horses' legs in battle.
Xu Huang - 白虎牙斷 (Ya Duan of White Tiger) 牙斷 Ya Duan means axe. 白虎 White Tiger is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations.
Zhang He - 朱雀虹 (Hung of Vermilion Bird) 虹 Hung means rainbow, but here it means claw. 朱雀 Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations.
Cao Ren - 鳳嘴凰翼 (Beak and Wing of Fenghuang) 鳳凰 Fenghuang is the Chinese phoenix.
Pang De - 驚天動地 (Sky-Rocking and Earth-Shaking)

Zhao Yun - 豪龍膽 (Dragon Courage of Bold)
Guan Yu - 黃龍偃月刀 (Yan Yue Dao of Yellow Dragon) I don't need to explain much. 偃月刀 Yan Yue Dao (reclining moon blade) is the weapon of Guan Yu in ROTK.
Zhang Fei - 破軍蛇矛 (Serpent Spear of Army-Routing)
Zhuge Liang - 朱雀羽扇 (Feather Fan of Vermilion Bird)
Liu Bei - 真黃龍劍 (True Yellow Dragon Sword)
Ma Chao - 龍騎尖 (Dragon Mounted Jian) 尖 Jian means pointed tip which means spear here. This weapon's name in Japanese is one of my favorites, not in English. :angry:
Huang Zhong - 破邪旋風斬 (Whirlwind Jan of Evil-Rounting) 斬 Jan means slashing.
Jiang Wei - 昂龍顎閃 (Flashing Jaw of the Soaring Dragon)
Wei Yan - 雙極滅星 (Star Eliminating of Dual Poles)
Pang Tong - 豪風神杖 (Holy Cane of Bold-Wind)
Yue Ying - 湖底蒼月 (Pale Moon of the Lake Bottom)
Guan Ping - 神龍昇天刀 (Dao of the Ascending Holy Dragon)
Xing Cai - 煌天 (Brilliant/Splendid Sky/Heaven) Why is it translated as ambition!?

Zhou Yu - 古錠刀真打 Hard to translate...古錠刀 Gu Ding Dao is just name of weapon, it does not have meaning. And 真打 (True Hit??)...is pleasant to hear...does not have meaning again.
Lu Xun - 閃飛燕 (Flying Swallow of Flash)
Taishi Ci - 虎撲毆狼改 (Dashing Tiger Wolf Beating Evolution/Modified/Version 2) WTF is this....?
SSX - 日月乾坤圈 (Chian Kun Jiuan of Sun and Moon) 乾坤圈 Chian Kun Jiuan is a fictional weapon which only appears in Wuxia novel, that's why I feel better when they change her weapon to a bow.
Sun Jian - 真天狼劍 (True Heaven-Wolf Sword)
Sun Quan - 白炎皇狼劍 (Emperor-Wolf Sword of White Flame)
Lu Meng - 白虎顎 (Jaws of White Tiger)
Gan Ning - 霸海 (Sea Dominating)
Huang Gai - 斷海鞭 (Bian of Sea Breaking) 鞭 Bian is a Chinese weapon, resembling a long club.
Sun Ce - 霸王 (Overlord/Conqueror) In ROTK, 小霸王 Little Conqueror is his nickname, which is his 3rd weapon.
Da Qiao - 喬美麗 (Qiao Beautiful)
Xiao Qiao - 喬佳麗 (Qiao Beauty)
Zhou Tai - 宵 (Dusk/Evening)
Ling Tong - 怒濤 (Angry Waves)
WTF is happening to the weapon names in Wu...Orz

Diao Chan - 金麗玉錘 (Beautiful Jade Hammer of Gold)
Lu Bu - 無雙方天戟 (Musou/Unrivaled Fang Tian Ji) 方天戟 Fang Tian Ji is the Chinese halberd of Lu Bu in ROTK.
Dong Zhuo - 阿修羅 (Asura) In Hinduism, the Asura are a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes referred to as demons. (From Wiki) His 3rd weapon is Rakshasa.
Yuan Shao - 真霸道劍 (True Overbearing Sword)
Zhang Jiao - 轟火神杖 (Hole Cane of Fire Spitting)
Meng Huo - 百獸王 (King of All Beasts)


*Weapon Name in SSM5 will be changed. Lu Bu's weapon is now called 四叉戟 (Four-Fork Halberd......... = =?)

These are literal translations. In the U.S. version they call it Roc because beak of the phoenix is a llittle long.

Well I'm in the U.S. I'm pretty sure that the U.S. and Australian get the same version since both predominantly speak English. I know that the Chinese, Japanese, and EU are different from ours.

In Japanese, it's Seiryu(and then Hangetsutou, I believe), the name of one of the Four Heavenly Beasts. As far as I know that is Blue Dragon, like how Byakko is the White Tiger.

青龍偃月刀 or Yan Yue Dao of Blue dragon is the 3rd weapon. @w@

青 in Chinese can mean both green and blue (but usually it means green nowadays). In Japan, it means blue only.

Oh, silly me, these are the 4th weapons. Guan Yu's fourth is called Gold Dragon in English, IIRC.

I thought Guan Yu's fourth was called Blue Moon Dragon in the English version. Could be wrong though.

Here's how it goes:

DW3/3XL: 4th= Blue Moon Dragon 5th= Divine Dragon

Same goes for DW4 and DW5.

Before reading that I had alwys figured it was a phoenix. I didn't know they were two different birds. I guess it would be if it is one of the for mythical creatures. All the rest of them probably are.

The dragon, especially yellow or golden dragons with five claws on each foot, was a symbol for the emperor in many Chinese dynasties.
