Wo Dao WTF? Dao sounds like Cantonese for blade. No idea what's Wo. I think it (Wo Dao) is Japanese sword. It is exactly the same sound as Mandarin. Wo is another way Chinese call Japan, Dao just like you said, it is blade or sword, but I don't know the Cantonese |

Reuban-ren = Japanese (Mandarin)
Yabon-yen = Japanese (Cantonese)
Those aren't the official romanization I can't be bothered checking so I'm doing them off tongue.
And I'm seem to recall Japan doesn't romanize to Wo....but at least I know Dao is definitely along lines of sword or blade.

Its actually Wa Dao, so I believe Fly Puma is correct, as I have heard Japan referred to as Wa, before. |

Sorry to type Chinese.  |

Hmm...if you say......
I'd figure its pretty much the equivilent of 'Nihon' and 'Yamato'
Besides it'd probably make more sense considering that it was called the 'Katana'.....(The sword not the country)

I think they translated like this because the Japanese version used the Chinese characters to name the sword. ( I've never played Japanese version FE7, but FE6 is so) |

It'd make sense....Japanese does use Kanji for names of stuff and if its already got a proper name in chinese theres no point changing the kanji...

Chinese people refer the Japanese "pirates" as رF , and their weapons as ؤM, but that's only during the 14th - 16th century.

( I've never played Japanese version FE7, but FE6 is so) The name's the same in both for that sword. |

hey hey i think the "Wo Dao" is supposed to be the "Wu Dao" cuz in mandarin that means a martial artist's sword (or a samurai's sword). I hope that clears things up
